Chapter 728: Chapter 76: Lost_1

After seeing off Doctor Xiao and the others, the black cat quickly scurried behind the forest cat, ready to embark on the journey to find the ’Mouse Nest’.

Noticing his movements, cats of all sizes that were scattered around playing, resting, or eating seemed to receive a signal. They all stood up, tails erect, and followed along. In an instant, cat cries echoed throughout the forest, casting an eerie atmosphere, making the fat man beside them shiver several times.

"Gee... how scary!" The fat man, cradling his arms, looked around, his eyes revealing horror, and his voice filled with uncertainty, "Brother Qing... Your... your underlings, these cats, what are they up to?"

The black cat was also startled by the movement of the cats. He hesitated to put down his raised paw.

When he remained still, the other cats stayed put as well, just standing there with their tails up, staring at him with large, yellow, or green eyes like statues.

"The leader is the Cat King, so the other cats naturally have to follow him!" Lin Guo sat on the back of the Black Mountain Goat, seemingly unfazed by the scene in front of him and added, "It’s common sense."

Turning his head, the black cat exchanged a look with the young wizard, aiming to confirm his statement only to meet the goat’s blank expression, causing his whiskers to droop.

"I’ve never heard of such a ’common sense’!" The fat man grumbled in discontent. "I’ve never heard of cats having communities, let alone a ’Cat King’."

"We’re on Buji Island, the first university! Don’t judge the common sense here with the world out there," Lin Guo lectured in a mature tone, "Just like the returning tide of silent fish, openly swimming along the ocean current, in reality, they’re traversing countless dimensions... otherwise, how do you think every shrimp and shell can find Buji Island?"

"The professor didn’t say that, did he?" The black cat twitched his ears and unemotionally glanced at the fat man, looking like he’d been rejected by the world.

"The professor just didn’t elaborate on this detail." The fat man grunted for a while before giving a vague reply.

"Is such a common sense even needed to be detailed?" Lin Guo looked at his companions with surprise and confusion.

The black cat twisted his head, forcefully planting his raised paw on the ground, flicked his tail, and followed the forest cat not far away.

What bullshit common sense, the black cat cursed in his mind. Whenever he felt he started to understand this wizard’s world and familiarize himself with it, strange ’common sense’ would smack him in the face, leaving him dumbfounded.

Following his movements, the cats in the vicinity each lifted their paws, nimbly flitting in between tree branches and bushes, and embarked on their silent journey.

And thus, a group of cats, along with three wizards and a goat, embarked on their long journey to find the mouse nest.

The forest cat was large and each step it took was long. After a few steps, it would pause, tilt its head to glance at the black cat, either flicking its tail or shaking its whiskers, not showing any impatience, but giving off such a vibe subtly.

The black cat twitched his nose in displeasure and silently chanted the ’Big and Small Spell’ a few times in his head.

Then, with each step he took, his body grew taller. They hadn’t gotten far when the black cat already grew about a meter tall, not losing out to the forest cat.

"Wow, wow, wow, that’s awesome! Captain is so cool! Can you teach me?" Lin Guo shouted excitedly from the back of the Black Mountain Goat, twisting and turning, unable to contain his eagerness.

If Blue Bird hadn’t been holding him down by the shoulder, the young wizard would’ve undoubtedly jumped off the goat and ran over to the black cat, eager to learn the essence of ’Transforming after Transformation’ right away.

"This is... Gifted Cat Fist, you can’t learn it," the blackcat blabbed, coming up with a term and brushed it off casually. Although he didn’t mind sharing his secrets with his comrades, he couldn’t be careless about discussing the ’uncertain causes’ behind them.

Just like Old Yao had said, if the world could be destroyed, what law couldn’t be broken? Since some wizards could even break the laws of nature, breaking social laws would naturally not be a difficult task. Therefore, for safety, Zheng Qing had to keep the information about his abnormal transformation ability limited.

"Gifted Cat Fist... Sounds really powerful." Lin Guo repeated the black cat’s words, sounding thoroughly impressed and clueless at the same time.

The fat man chuckled softly.

But Blue Bird didn’t laugh.

"You should have us sign a Silence Contract." The swordsman, gazing at the silhouette of the black cat, slowly spoke, "Although I don’t know why your transformation spell is acting like this, it’s definitely not a small matter... For everyone’s safety, you should also prepare a Silence Contract."

The figure of the black cat in front took on a rigid appearance, slowing down his pace unconsciously.

It was rare for BlueBird to utter such a lengthy speech, but he had chosen an embarrassingly tricky topic. Yes, the best course of action would be for everyone who knew about his abnormal transformation to sign a Silence Contract, ensuring the secret remained locked within the ancient magic.

However, signing contracts was no small matter, and those who knew about the situation were his trustworthy companions. Zheng Qing didn’t want to see any rifts among the Absolution Knight Group due to this issue.

"Hm, the Swordsman’s suggestion isn’t bad. We can have a meeting to discuss it later. I remember that the doctor has a few good clauses for Silence Contracts!" The fat man, the peacemaker, agreed with Blue Bird’s opinion, then promptly switched topics, "Look, the big leading cat has turned a corner and disappeared... We should hurry up, so as to not lose it."

The black cat was dumbfounded for a moment, choosing not to make a sound or turn back. He merely sped up and caught up with the shadow of the forest cat that was becoming more distant.

"Going back and forth like this, we won’t get lost, will we?" In the team, perhaps only Lin Guo wasn’t tangled in the complicated relationships and turned the attention from the black cat’s words to the route they were taking. "I’ve never run this far in school."

"Me neither," the fat man chimed in from the side. "Does anyone remember which pavilion we exited from? We’re not in school anymore, right?"

The black cat raised his head, surprised.

Beforehand, as he was engrossed listening to everyone’s conversation and lost in various thoughts, he had forgotten to keep track of the route. He just followed the forest cat’s behind and ran continuously. He vaguely remembered passing through a small forest, walking down a part of the Ring Mansion corridor, then turning at a pavilion - but he wasn’t paying attention to which pavilion.
