Peking Opera Cat Heart Feather

Chapter 135: Test

"Okay, the most urgent thing is to leave this secret passage as soon as possible!" Bai Xinyu stared at Bian Ri closely, and after thinking for a moment, he stepped forward without hesitation, completely ignoring Bian Ri who was still gasping for breath.

Seeing this, Bai Tang and several other cats looked at each other and followed Bai Xinyu.

"Hey! Please wait for me, I'm old and can't walk fast!" They hadn't walked far when Bianri was already exhausted and out of breath.

"Senior, how about I support you as you walk?" Wu Song saw this scene and turned to look at Bai Xinyu. After getting her nod of permission, he quickly walked to Bian Ri's side, reached out to support him, and continued on his way.

"Time crystals... Do you have any extra time crystals on you? If so, I can walk faster!" As Bian Ri walked, he turned his head to look at Wu Song who was supporting him and asked again.

"How could we have that kind of thing? Besides, you clearly had one before!" Wu Song replied helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Bian Ri slowly reached into his pocket and fumbled around before pulling out a diamond-shaped crystal that shimmered faintly. He examined it carefully for a moment, a flicker of reluctance in his eyes, but ultimately he sighed softly and put it back into his pocket.

"The exit is just ahead!" Bai Xinyu, who had been walking at the front of the group, shouted excitedly, her bright eyes sparkling with hope. Everyone quickened their pace upon hearing this, and sure enough, a faint light shone through from a distance.

Bai Xinyu was the first to reach the light and discovered a massive rock blocking her path. She took a deep breath and, with all her strength, slowly pushed the rock aside. As the rock moved, more light poured in, and everyone finally saw the outside world once again.

However, the black storm had subsided. The howling winds died down, and the dust gradually settled. However, when they looked back, the inn that should have stood there had vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"This is the power of nature. No cat can stand up to it." Bian Ri looked at the scene before him and said to Bai Tang with emotion. There was a hint of awe and helplessness in his voice.

Bai Tang stood quietly by, his eyes a bit hazy. He couldn't help but recall the horrific experience of being demonized in the Hand Sect. Back then, he had completely lost his self-awareness, controlled by the forces of darkness. That deep feeling of powerlessness still haunted him. Then, he thought back to the scene in Yunyou Valley, where the Valley Master had questioned him, "You keep saying you want to protect Cat Earth. But let me ask you again, what's your reason?"

These memories flooded into Bai Tang's mind like a tide, making him feel confused and depressed. He also thought of the cats that had sacrificed their lives after leaving the Hand Sect because of his lack of strength.

"Let's hurry up and get going. If we run into sandstorms again, it'll be troublesome." Bian Ri looked up at the sky, determined the direction to go, and reminded them again. Everyone nodded in agreement, gathered their composures, and continued on their journey.

"So, you've been wandering around the periphery of Bu Zong all this time! No wonder we haven't truly entered the inner reaches of Bu Zong after all this time." Halfway through the journey, Bian Ri finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked them how they had managed to enter Bu Zong territory. After some discussion, he was surprised to find that these people had been circling the periphery.

At this time, Bai Tang seemed particularly depressed. He suddenly looked up at the sky and shouted at the top of his voice: "I don't like Bu Zong at all!" His voice echoed in the air, as if he wanted to release all the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart.

However, Wu Song, who was riding on the same cat camel with him, scolded him mercilessly: "You little idiot, don't talk nonsense here!" There was a hint of harshness in his words.

Upon hearing this, Bai Tang not only did not restrain his words and actions, but retorted even more angrily: "That's right! There is sand everywhere here. Apart from the flying sand, there is only the killing of each other among the same tribe. No one can like such a place!" He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his little face turned red.

At this moment, Bian Ri seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively again: "By the way, little heroes, did that hero Sha give you anything special? For example...?" As he spoke, he secretly observed everyone's reactions.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, and then they all shook their heads and answered in unison: "No, nothing!" At the same time, everyone's eyes looking at Bian Ri changed instantly, full of vigilance and suspicion.

On another cliff, a towering, steep, and precipitous peak stands tall. Like a sharp sword piercing the heavens, it is shrouded in mist, creating a sense of mystery. Adjacent to it is an equally majestic and imposing solitary peak, its peak majestic and imposing.

Not long ago, Gu Feng and Gu Yue, with the help of the miraculous power of the Time Crystal, had finally, after countless hardships, escaped from the terrifying black storm. Now, they stood on the mountaintop, overlooking the figures struggling forward in the distance below.

Gu Yue frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on those figures, and he muttered to himself, "How on earth did these little kitties from the outer sect get involved with that old guy? It's really puzzling!" As he spoke, he secretly pondered the reason.

However, Gu Feng, standing nearby, appeared much calmer. He shook his head slightly and said calmly, "Never mind. It's too late to dwell on it now. We've successfully obtained that crucial map. Our most urgent task now is to return to the tribe and hand it over to the tribe leader. We can investigate other matters later." With that, he turned and prepared to embark on his journey home.

After all, completing this mission was their top priority. As for those unimportant mysteries, they could be left to be solved later, when they had more time and energy. So, Gu Feng and Gu Yue no longer hesitated, their figures flashing like two bolts of lightning as they sped towards the clan's location...
