Chapter 31 Nightmare Spirit
Chapter 31 Nightmare Spirit
The source of the nightmare?
The system's notification immediately reminded Yun Che of the nightmare from last night, which happened at "just the right time."
The nightmare was so real, and it happened to wake him up just before the Boiling Blood Crocodile attacked.
Could it be that it originated from this dark shadow in front of us?
Tokiwa's power still didn't sense any hostility, but its initial caution and trepidation turned into panic and fear.
"Ugh!"
With a sob, just as the dark shadow was about to completely dissipate under the light, the guy immediately ran out the window.
Yun Che immediately gave Kong Kong a look.
The empty space conveys the meaning.
Swoosh—swoosh—
Two balls of silk thread were produced, sealing the window completely.
The guy seemed to realize he couldn't escape through the window, and with a swift movement, he slipped under the bed.
Seeing this, Kongkong immediately came to the bedside and looked under the bed.
But she immediately screamed and jumped up.
"grumble!!"
Yun Che, who had finally removed the string from his mouth, glared at Kong Kong with annoyance. "You're so jumpy."
He leaned down and looked under the bed, and there he saw...
A constantly shifting black shadow, its deeper shadows outlining its shape, at first glance resembled a combination of a devil and a ghost, its pale blue eyes gleaming eerily.
! !
Yun Che suddenly raised his head and met Kong Kong's "disdainful" gaze.
You were just talking about me!
But I have to say, seeing that shadow under the bed can be really scary.
However, after being startled, Yun Che slowly realized that the shadow was actually a disguise.
The furry forelimbs that just passed through the window and fiddled with the latch are probably what this guy should look like.
only...
What kind of extraordinary creature is this?
Despite trying to recall, there was indeed no information about this extraordinary creature in my memory.
do not know.
Are they rare and extraordinary beings?
but...
"You're even more timid than Kongkong."
"Chirp?" Kongkong put her hands on her hips.
Are you praising me or insulting me?
Yun Che smiled and gently patted its head.
He invoked the power of Eternal Moon once more.
Indeed, it sensed no hostility from the extraordinary creature that only lurked in the shadows, even though it was now forced under the bed.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Che sat cross-legged on the ground, using the power of Tokiwa to convey his goodwill.
At the same time, he picked up the bottle containing the dragon bones from the table, placed it on the ground, and asked:
"You want this dragon bone?"
"Waaah..."
Upon seeing the keel, the creature hiding under the bed finally spoke up again.
And because of Yun Che's goodwill, its wary appearance gradually subsided, and the ferocious shadow slowly returned to a spherical shape.
"grumble?"
Kongkong tilted his head.
Although the dragon bone belonged to it, it was also very curious about what the other party looked like, and even more curious about why the other party would want the dragon bone. Could it be... a dragon as well?
rustling, rustling—
Under the bed, the guy slowly, cautiously, and warily shuffled out little by little.
"Ugh!"
It called out towards the window.
It seems to be saying, "Open the window first, then it will come out."
"Empty," Yun Che said softly.
"grumble!"
Kongkong immediately removed the silk threads that were wrapped around the window.
Seeing this, the shadowy figure finally tiptoed out from under the bed, deliberately avoiding the side where Yun Che and Kong Kong were sitting.
Under the light, the misty black shadow dissipated, and Yun Che and Kong Kong finally saw its true appearance.
This is a...
It looks a bit like a cat, with its whole body covered in fluffy black fur. It has a long, thin tail that can wrap around its body once, and two jewel-like eyes, one light blue and the other light purple.
Around its neck is a purple wreath-like pattern, exuding an air of mystery and nobility.
What kind of extraordinary creature is this?
Yun Che realized that he still didn't recognize them.
"Chirp..." Kong Kong's eyes showed even more confusion.
It's not a dragon, it's a cat?
Why would a cat want dragon bones?
This isn't a fish bone...
How could it be a cat?
He scratched his head, puzzled.
The little guy, who had revealed his true form, seemed a bit reserved, but still tiptoed toward the dragon bone.
Yun Che pressed down on the bottle.
"Huh?"
Facing the gaze directed at him, Yun Che smiled and said, "Although you want this, I can't give it to you right now."
After all, it was empty-handed's spoils, and it was dragon bone, which would be of great use to Kongkong.
Without knowing what kind of extraordinary creature the other party is, or why it needs the dragon bone, it is definitely not advisable to give it to it for the time being.
Besides, Yun Che didn't promise to give it to him.
"Ugh!" Seeing this, the little guy got angry, puffed out his cheeks, glared "fiercely" at Yun Che, then his body swelled up with black mist again, leaped towards the window, and disappeared into the night.
"Chirp, chirp?"
You... you're leaving already?
"It's good enough that we didn't fight." Yun Che waved his hand.
Fortunately, the other party showed no hostility or intention to fight or steal. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known what kind of extraordinary creature it was, let alone its strength level and skills. If they had fought it, they might have suffered a great loss.
However, this is a dormitory and residential area. If we make a scene, that guy won't be able to leave.
After closing the window, Yun Che said, "Kongkong, seal the windows and doors securely."
The tough silkworm silk sealed the windows and doors.
"If it really wants to, it will come again." Yun Che placed the glass bottle containing the dragon bone into Kong Kong's hand, indicating that it should protect it.
Then he took out his phone and sent a message to Dr. Niu, describing in detail the appearance of the extraordinary creature he had just seen.
Even if he doesn't know them, someone else will.
"Go to sleep." After doing all this, he yawned deeply and fell asleep again.
"grumble..."
...
Just as dawn was breaking, Yun Che was awakened by a rustling sound.
He opened his eyes and saw Kongkong hugging the glass bottle containing the dragon bones, his whole body curled up into a ball, his back to the window, his tail tightly wrapped around the bottle.
"Chirp..." the little guy mumbled, seemingly having some kind of dream.
Yun Che chuckled to himself.
Last night I sealed the doors and windows and had Kongkong guard the dragon bone. I didn't expect it to actually hold on to it all night without letting go.
However, that guy didn't show up again last night, so he wasn't very aggressive... Thinking this, he took out his phone from under his pillow and saw Dr. Niu's message.
"Ah Che, is this what the extraordinary creature you saw looked like? (Attachment.jpg)"
In the message, Dr. Niu even sent a picture to confirm.
Although it differs slightly in appearance from the one Yun Che saw, it is indeed the same overall.
For example, Yun Che saw one eye that was light purple and the other eye that was light blue, while in the photo posted by Dr. Niu, one eye was also light purple, but the other eye was light yellow.
"If it's close enough, then it should be the Purple Amber Cat, a relatively rare extraordinary creature, with a race level of high extraordinary and an attribute of ghost."
ghost?
Yun Che was slightly taken aback.
It's no exaggeration to say that among the many attributes of pets (normal, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, lightning, light, dark, dragon, poison, insect, ghost, spirit, flight, mechanical, etc.), the ghost attribute is the most mysterious and unpredictable.
While the Ghost attribute cannot be simply viewed as an attribute directly linked to death, it is indeed the attribute known to be closest to "death".
Among the many beast tamers in the world of beast tamers, there are even beast tamers who specialize in ghost-type pets, and they prefer to call themselves "spirit mediums".
The reason why Yun Che didn't recognize him was...
This is also because, whether in school or in the books he had seen before, there was very little information about extraordinary beings with ghost attributes.
Dr. Niu's message didn't end there.
"However, not only are Amber Cats rare, they are also quite special. According to your description, its full name should be Nightmare Spirit Amber Cat, and its attributes should be Ghost plus Dark."
"And the one in the picture I sent you is Dust Tomb Purple Amber Cat, with the attributes of Ghost and Earth."
"Currently, there are seven known types of Purple Amber Cats with confirmed attributes. In addition to the ordinary Purple Amber Cat without a prefix, there are Nightmare Spirit, Star Crystal, Dust Tomb, Ember Calamity, Abyss Soul, and Nether Iron, which correspond to the six attributes of Dark, Light, Earth, Fire, Water, and Metal, respectively."
"Don't be surprised. This naming method is actually not uncommon. For example, a mechanical superhuman creature called Silver Pivot Wolf can be divided into Type Zero, Type One, Type Three, Type Five, and so on."
Is it that complicated?
Yun Che clicked his tongue in amazement.
This was truly the first time he had ever encountered this kind of extraordinary biological knowledge.
"I'll send you some information about the Purple Amber Cat, take a look."
"Thank you, Doctor."
