Chapter 178

Gu Ding was a little speechless as he watched them stare at each other. The energy shield on the outer layer of the skateboard could only defend against attacks below Rank-10. In front of a Rank-12 viper, the shield was no different from a soap bubble.

The little cat thief landed on Gu Ding's shoulder, which meant that no matter what trouble it caused, Gu Ding and his crew were accomplices.

Although Gu Ding did not want to provoke two Rank-12 vipers, trouble had come knocking on his door. He could only bite the bullet and deal with it. He could not hand over the little cat thief just like that.

Although Kaya was familiar with the two vipers, she did not understand Dragon Language and did not know what was going on.

Just then, Ayesha walked out and made strange syllables toward the golden-winged dragon horn beast. The sound was sometimes high and sometimes low. It was not a sound that a human throat could make at all.

After hearing Ayesha's voice, the golden-winged dragon horn beast also opened its mouth and made similar syllables.

"Ayesha understands Dragon Language?!" This was news to Gu Ding and his crew.

Kaya was also a little surprised.

After a moment of communication between the two, Ayesha turned her head and translated, "This viper said that Camilia entrusted it and another viper to guard this nature reserve. They will not allow any other species to cause trouble in this area. This is their duty. However, this evil creature slaughtered the Bloodthirsty Abyss Demon in a short period of time. Its existence is a very serious threat to this area. "

At this moment, the little thieving cat also opened its mouth. It also uttered those strange syllables. This scene was even more unimaginable. It actually understood the Dragon Language.

Ayesha continued to translate, "The little cat said that the existence of the Abyssal creature is the biggest threat to other species in this area, and it only helped. Moreover, if I don't act now, that abyssal creature will soon evolve to the twelfth grade. When that time comes, it will break out of the volcano and all the creatures in this area will become its food, including the two of you vipers. "

At this time, the crown dragonhawk also opened its mouth, and its voice was even louder.

"Dragonhawk said that we can't trust you unless you can prove that the Abyssal Bloodthirsty Demon is about to evolve to rank-12. Otherwise, we can only attack you," Elsa translated.

The little cat thief showed a very human-like expression of helplessness. It stretched out its paw and swiped it in the air, tearing a crack in space. A black crystal fell out of the crack and landed in Gu Ding's hand.

It was a black crystal the size of a fist, as if it was dyed with ink. The surface of the crystal was surrounded by circles of spiral patterns. There were as many as 12 circles of patterns. The top circle was slightly lighter in color, and the spiral patterns were not completely embedded. However, this was enough to prove that the original owner of this crystal would soon advance to the twelfth step.

The two wyverns stared at the crystal with their huge eyes and observed it carefully. They also saw the spiral patterns on it, and their expressions immediately turned ugly.

Abyssal species were extremely powerful because they were not afraid of death when they fought, and there was only killing in their eyes. If that Abyssal Bloodthirsty Demon really evolved to Tier 12, it would be difficult for the two wyverns to suppress it even if they worked together.

Although the two wyverns were reluctant to admit it, it seemed that the little cat thief had indeed helped.

"Alright, we admit that you're right. Although we're not sure what species you are, we won't allow you to attack any other creatures in this area. Otherwise, we'll have to join forces to hunt you down, "the crown dragonhawk warned.

"Can't I even hunt a steelback hog? That species is food, right? "The little cat thief asked with a fluke mentality after keeping the black crystal.

"No!" The crown dragonhawk refused sternly.

"Just two. You have a large group here, I think there are more than thirty of them," the little cat thief continued to negotiate.

"Not even one!" The crown dragonhawk and the golden-winged dragon horn beast roared at the little cat at the same time.

"Alright …" The little cat thief lowered its head unhappily.

Elsa did not translate the conversation. She just covered her mouth and snickered. When the conversation between the three of them was over, she said to Gu Ding, "We can go now. They've finished talking."

The two wyverns rubbed themselves against Kaya before flapping their wings and leaving.

"We've observed the two wyverns up close. We can move on to the next stop," Kaya adjusted her glasses that were blown askew by the wind and smiled at Gu Ding and the others.

Gu Ding and the others spent the rest of the day with Kaya in the nature reserve. It was not until evening that they said goodbye to Kaya and returned to Camilia's palace.

This time, the little cat thief followed everyone back to the guest room casually. It was as if it had already become a member of Gu Ding's crew.

Robert had specially made a cat's nest for the little cat thief. Liliath had even put an expensive blanket that she had bought as a cushion.

However, when they woke up the next morning, they saw that the little cat thief was sleeping on the sofa. It did not seem to like the nest very much.

Robert did not understand. His cat's nest was completely designed according to the little cat thief's size. It should be the most comfortable. He did not know why the little cat thief did not like it.

During breakfast, everyone gathered together to come up with a name for the little cat thief.

"This little guy is so sneaky. Let's call it little cat thief," Gu Ding suggested.

"Let's call it Tigerskin. This little guy has tiger stripes all over his body." Biggie really did not have the talent for naming.

"Call it Xiao Jin!" Elsa shouted.

"I think it should be little troublemaker," Liliath laughed.

"My name is Tagore," a voice said at that moment.

Everyone looked at Robert, thinking that he was the one who had suggested the name.

"I didn't say anything." Robert spread out his hands.

"I was the one who said it. My name is Tagore." The little cat thief sitting on the coffee table raised its paw. "So you don't have to bother coming up with a name for me."

"You can speak?!" Gu Ding's eyes lit up.

"There's nothing strange about it. The human language isn't the most complicated among all the races." The little cat thief did not find it strange.

"Why didn't you speak before?" Gu Ding asked curiously.

"Because I wasn't familiar with you before." The little cat thief, Tagore, looked like it was a matter of course.

"In other words, you're familiar with us now?" Gu Ding asked expectantly.

"No, it's because there's food if I follow you." Tagore's answer disappointed Gu Ding, but it resonated with Ayesha. She nodded her head vigorously in agreement.

"Tagore, join our crew!" Having met a talking cat, Gu Ding's desire to invite it to join his crew grew stronger.

"Sure, but I have a few conditions." Tagore stretched out its furry paw again.

"First, you're not allowed to treat me like a cat. You're not allowed to feed me cat food, even though it tastes good. You're not allowed to make me a cat bed, even though it's the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. You're not allowed to pat my head, even though it makes me feel comfortable.

"Second, I have the same right to rummage through the fridge as you do.

"Third, I want my own room. Just like you, with a bed and a quilt. I also want a shower and a bathtub, even though I don't like water.

"Fourth, I want an intelligent wristwatch because you all have one.

"Fifth, you're not allowed to leave me behind when there's fun. I'm a crew member, and I have the right to enjoy the same happiness as you.

"And the last one. Every year on my birthday, I want everyone to give me a birthday present. I also want a birthday cake, even though I don't like cake. "

"If you promise to do it, I'll join you." Tagore looked at Gu Ding.

"All of them should be fine. As for the room, there's still space on the spaceship. I can also buy you an intelligent wristwatch. As for your birthday … When is your birthday?" Gu Ding thought about it. Other than the first condition, the others did not seem too difficult.

"I don't know …" Tagore hung his head when he heard the question.

"Then let's call it today. Everyone else, give me the gift list. I'll buy you a present." Gu Ding had always been a man of strong execution.

"I'll buy a cake, I'll buy a cake!" Elsa quickly raised her hand and shouted.

"I'll go with Elsa to buy a cake." Lilliath felt that she should be able to keep an eye on Elsa and prevent her from eating the cake on the way.

"I'll make dinner!" Biggie ran happily to the kitchen.

"I'll decorate the birthday party …" Robert also found himself a job.

…

Tagore had his first birthday party that night. There was cake, birthday presents, and people sang him a birthday song. After the party, he slept soundly in the cat house that Robert had made for him.

For the next few days, Gu Ding did not go out to play anymore. He cultivated the Sun Sutra every day under the sun. Tagore would sleep on Gu Ding's shoulder every time he cultivated, which made Gu Ding feel like he was absorbing light energy at a much faster rate.

Gu Ding did not tell anyone else about the Dark Sectors' pursuit. Only Neptune and himself knew about it in the entire crew. Therefore, Lilliath was not too nervous. For the next few days, she and Elsa would go out for a walk every day and bring some items on Robert's list along the way.

Robert was still busy every day. He always had things on hand that he couldn't finish.

As for Biggie, he had originally planned to learn some new dishes. However, when he saw how hard Gu Ding was working on his cultivation, he also began to study swordsmanship to make himself stronger.

Four days passed quickly. On this day, Camilia's birthday party finally began.

Not only was Robert forced to wear a tuxedo by Liliath, but even Tagore was dressed in a black tuxedo and a trendy hat. He looked very handsome.
