Chapter 233 – Cat Dad Collects Chicken Meat
"How is this possible?!"
Vermilion and his teammates couldn't believe what they were witnessing. The mascot of the guild had used every strongest spell and skill, but Xiaomao came out unharmed.
Moreover, the phoenix was a level-500 mythical creature. Although it hadn't matured yet, its destructive power and stats were comparable to an elite immortal.
"Xiaomao is hacking! GM, DO SOMETHING!"
Vermilion bellowed, but he got no response from the game's admins or moderators. While he was shouting, his subordinates began recording this event as proof.
Because they got tunnel vision, they didn't notice that the obelisk towers were already gone as more than five minutes had passed. Moreover, they forgot to build guild structures and manage their resources.
.
"That's about it!"
Lucky took the role of the vice commander while Xiaomao was busy fighting. Under her watch, Shepherd, James, John, and the mermen completed their tasks and created a river moat around their castle.
Meanwhile, Andrew and Peter constructed a fountain and filled it with Slave Dungeon's sacred water. They also poured the excess water into the moat.
After they were done, Lucky brought Andrew and Peter to a resource deposit at the back of their castle, outside the walls. She exchanged the guild's SP for materials to build a quarry.
Andrew and Peter examined the deposit, but they shook their heads. They wrote on the ground that this place might be no good.
"Why?" Lucky was puzzled.
'Follow current novels on n0velbin.com.',
Peter wrote on the ground to elaborate, 'A resource extractor is time-consuming to build, and this deposit here only yields copper ores. It's a waste of time to extract this since our lord can finish off his opponents in a few minutes. We won't have enough time to get the ores out.'
Andrew added, 'We're fighting against time here. Our primary objective shouldn't be looking for SP-generating resources. Instead, we should be looking for something that we can carry over to our dungeon for the research and development teams!'
Lucky was surprised by their intelligence and insight, "Then, what should we do? What kind of resource should we be looking for?"
'Titanium, Platinum, Mithril, Adamantite, Spirit Stones, Catnipium, and Elemental Stones are ideal. If it's impossible to find any, we should at least get the titanium for the mannequin soldiers in our dungeon.'
Lucky nodded, but she had no idea what Titanium was.
"Can you tell me what Titanium and the other ores look like?"
'Just use your sense and your Qi. If you feel that your Qi can easily destroy it, ignore it. If not, call us over.'
Peter volunteered, 'I'll help you look for a better ore deposit. For now, let's separate and search behind the castle area.'
"Okay!"
Lucky got the gist of it, but she didn't run around to search for the ores right away. She returned to the castle, dragged Shepherd, James, and John over, and told them to search for a mineral ore deposit. As for the rest of the mermen, Lucky ordered them to stay behind to wall for safety.
.
While the guild people were busy, Xiaomao's tentacle yanked Cookie and pulled him to the ground.
"Get over here, munya!"
'',
GRAAA!! (NO!!)
Cookie resisted. He flapped his wings as hard as he could to break free from Xiaomao's tentacle by force.
"YES!"
Xiaomao's expression was bright, shiny, and calm, but his eyes gleamed like a psychopath in heat.
GRAAA!! (NOO!!)
Cookie flapped harder.
"YESS!!"
Xiaomao also pulled harder.
GRAAA!! (NOOO!!)
"YESSS!!"
GRA! GRA! GRA! GRA! GRA! (NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!)
"YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!"
The tug-of-war lasted a whole minute, but it was enough to traumatize Cookie for the rest of his life. The eyes of the predator below were so dark and deep like the abyss.
In despair, Cookie flapped his wings as if there was no tomorrow. His tears, boogers, and saliva splashed everywhere even though he was a fire creature.
Because of Cookie's desperation, Xiaomao suddenly had an idea. Instead of pulling, he shrunk the extended tentacle, propelling his body to the sky while his other tentacles brought the flame sword with him.
As Xiaomao stopped pulling, the tentacle's force was weak. Sensing the changes, Cookie laughed and mustered his last bit of strength to fly backward.
GRA-GRA-GRA!! (HAHAHAHA! I'M FREE!)
"Yes, you're free… YOU'RE MY FREE MEAL! YESSSSS!"
Before Cookie could react to Xiaomao, the red flying sword plunged into his chest. Moreover, the catopus appeared in front of him and opened his mouth wide.
CHOMP
Xiaomao's expanded mouth snapped the long neck of Cookie. With a twist, Xiaomao tore a chunk of the phoenix's feathers and his flesh.
GRAAAA!!
The phoenix wailed in pain. For the first time, he was afraid of death. Even though he knew that he could always self-resurrect by burning himself into ash, he was afraid of getting eaten alive.
In desperation, the phoenix took extreme measures. He activated the last ultimate skill, which would also kill him on the spot.
Self-Detonation!
Cookie's body flashed in bright light, and his body swelled, accumulating all MP and Qi for the final explosion. However, he forgot crucial information about Xiaomao's black hole stomach and his ability to eat energy, spells, and materials.
Xiaomao swallowed the phoenix feathers and the chunk of chicken meat in his mouth. Then, he took another bite and slurped Cookie's blood like a vampire.
As soon as Xiaomao began sucking Cookie's blood, the torrent of the phoenix's energy flowed into the former's mouth. Fire, liquid, fat, cells, and Qi entered Xiaomao's body, causing the catopus to swell like a massive balloon.
PUU
PFFFF
Shamelessly, Xiaomao farted and defecated the impurity he didn't need while eating. As the gas and the useless solid mass exited the body, Xiaomao's body shrank to its regular size.
Meanwhile, Cookie shed the last tear of regret. He wished that he didn't come out to fight the cat. He closed his eyes and waited for the self-destruction skill to activate.
One second…
'ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novel(B) in.ᴄᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ ꜰᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ sᴘᴇᴇᴅ.',
Five seconds…
'ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N ovelBi(n)',
Ten seconds passed. However, the skill did not activate. Moreover, Cookie's consciousness was still intact.
Cookie reopened his eyes and looked at his body. He discovered that all his feathers had already been plucked out, leaving only his naked skin. The beautiful tails turned into a chicken butt while his wings were naked.
Xiaomao hummed and gently sliced the wings and legs of Cookies like a butcher. Then, he spat on the wound, and the phoenix's limbs were restored. Once the chicken legs and wings reappeared, Xiaomao cut them again and stored the meat in his inventory.
Everything was done while Xiaomao's tentacles were coiling on Cookie's neck. As for the flying sword, it was still in the phoenix's chest.
Enraged, humiliated, and confused, Cookie bellowed.
GRAA!! (WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!)
Xiaomao paused and frowned. He turned to Cookie's face and pouted, "Can't you tell, munya? I'm collecting your chicken meat."
GRAA! (Stop playing around and kill me! You win!)
"Nah. If I kill you, you will either disappear forever or get reborn in your world. Before that happens, let me harvest your meat. I'll keep healing you, munya. You're welcome."
GRA-GRUGH!? (You what?! UGH!)
Suddenly, Xiaomao turned his attention to the chest area. He cleaved and separated the breast meat with the flying sword and stored the massive lump of a 10-meter-tall phoenix in his inventory. Then, he spat white flame saliva on the wound.
Once more, the phoenix's health was restored, and his breast meat was regenerated along with his feathers. However, Xiaomao quickly plucked them and stored the precious resources in his inventory. He proceeded to cut Cookie's chest again.
"Stay still, munya. It won't take long."
GRAAA! (You scoundrel-OUCH!)
While Lucky and the dwarves were looking for resources to mine, Xiaomao was busy mining Cookie's meat in the sky.
