  Chapter 25 Despicable Alien

  Everything happened so fast, Mu You didn't even have time to take out his pocket watch, he felt his head was wrapped in a big hideous mouth.

   At this moment, Mu You himself was a little desperate, but then, the pain of being bitten through his head did not come as he imagined, but the fierce monster figure pierced through his body like a mold.

"Um?"

   Mu You didn't realize what happened for a while, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a flash of light and shadow in front of him, as if something was rushing towards him again.

  He only had time to raise his hand, and then a soft and furry thing hit his chest.

   Originally, when he backed up just now, half of his body had already stretched out of the guardrail. At this time, he was hit again like this, completely lost his balance, and fell off the railing.

   "This is the third floor..."

  Feeling the rapid fall of his body, Mu You hurriedly put his hand into his pocket, and pressed the pocket watch in his pocket.

  In the next moment, time flowed back to five seconds ago.

  Mu You returned to the stairs on the third floor, squatting halfway on the ground, stretching out his hand to detect the breath of the comatose young man on the ground.

   When he came back to his senses, Mu You immediately rolled over and hid in the shadow beside the stairs.

   Leaning against the wall, Mu You exhaled, he knew that the creature was hiding behind a corner not far away, waiting to ambush him.

   This creature is very smart. It should have seen that Mu You is the strongest among several humans, so he deliberately used the young man's cry to attract him, and then hid in a corner to attack him.

  However, the last attack method used by this creature was to bump him down the stairs, trying to throw him to death...

   That is to say, this creature's attack ability is actually not strong, at least it can't give Mu You a fatal blow in a short time, so it can only use this stupid method.

  As for the ferocious monster just now... that thing obviously has no entity, it should be just an illusion or something, and it is purely used as a cover for the real body of that creature.

   Wanting to understand all this, Mu You didn't rush to find the creature head-on, but walked down the stairs softly, passed the aisle on the second floor, and walked around to the stairs on the other side of the building.

  From the stairs here to the third floor, Mu You squatted at the corner of the stairs, took out his wand, and softly cast a trap spell on the ground.

   Then Mu You touched the fourth floor again, and returned to the stairs on the other side through the corridor on the fourth floor.

  This building looks like an 'L'-shaped building from the sky, and the edge of the building on this side turns out for a short distance.

   Mu You squatted under the guardrail of the corner corridor on the fourth floor, quietly revealing a pair of eyes, and looked down.

  From his position, he can just see the whole picture of the stairs on the third floor below.

  The entrance of the stairs below was so dark that you could barely see your fingers. However, with his enhanced eyesight, Mu You vaguely saw the outline of an animal from the darkness.

   That's a cat!

   Quietly lurking in the darkness in the corner of the wall, with its tail drooping, its body slightly bowed, its hind legs staggered, and one front paw raised, as if squatting to guard its prey.

  It's a pity that the prey it was guarding did not appear for a long time, which made it a little impatient, flicked its tail wildly, and obviously began to feel restless.

  Mu You gently took out the mithril bow, pulled the bowstring, tied an anesthesia needle on the condensed arrowhead, and then pointed the direction of the bow at the cat below.

   Phew!

  The moment the arrow was shot, the cat below seemed to sense something, glanced up, and jumped back as a conditioned reflex, narrowly dodging the attacking arrow.

"pity!"

   Mu You didn't have time to sigh. Seeing that he missed the hit, he immediately got up and stepped on the beam of the railing, and jumped down the corridor on the third floor below.

"Roar!"

  After the cat found Mu You, it quickly changed back to the fierce monster just now. It roared and rushed towards him, and also jumped out of the railing, as if it wanted to knock Mu You directly into the air.

   It's just that this time Mu You won't be fooled by it again. Seeing the monster hit him, his movements didn't deform in the slightest.

   Sure enough, the monster passed directly through his body without causing any hindrance to him.

  Mu You successfully stepped on the guardrail on the third floor, then leaped lightly into the corridor, and landed smoothly.

"Meow!"

   And the cat seemed to be waiting for this opportunity. As soon as Mu You landed, it launched an attack from the darkness nearby, waving its two claws, and biting straight at his neck.

   Mu You rolled over on the spot, dodging its pounce, and the cat's claws caught on the stab-proof suit, but did not cause any damage. At the same time, Mu You quickly reached out with one hand, and took the opportunity to grab the cat's nape with his backhand, preparing to subdue it directly.

In the end, the cat was unexpectedly agile. It howled and rolled in the air, and broke away from Mu You's hand. After landing, it didn't dare to fight Mu You again, but jumped into the shadow of the corridor , fled away in a flash.

   Mu You followed closely behind, raising his bow from time to time and firing a cold arrow, but the cat dodged them one by one in a coquettish S-shape.

  Of course, this is also the result of Mu You's intentional release of water. His purpose is not to hurt the cat, but to keep imposing a sense of urgency on it so that it can ignore the trap ahead.

   The two chased and fled, and quickly passed through the entire corridor on the third floor.

   Just as the cat rounded the corner of the stairs ahead and was about to flee downstairs.

"Snapped!"

  The sound of the trap closing sounded, followed by a frantic scratching and howling.

   Mu You ran over to see that the wooden carved cage was shaking crazily on the ground, but no matter how much the cat in it struggled, it still couldn't break out of the cage.

   When he got close, Mu You could see clearly that the cat locked in the cage was actually a thin and tall cat!

   Well-proportioned tiger stripe pattern, brass-colored eyeballs, and M-shaped pattern on the forehead, the bloodline is quite pure, and it is grinning at Mu You, looking like an angry little tiger.

   "Meow... roar... hiss..."

   It can be seen that this beautiful short is very excited now, while crazily beating the cage, while still blowing hair and breathing non-stop, threatening Mu You not to approach.

   "Wait, don't be afraid, I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm the watchman who talked to you that day, I'm here to save you..."

   Mu You covered his eyes with his hand, turned his eyes away, and spoke in the broken Protoss language prepared in advance.

During the fight just now, he had vaguely discovered that the cat's phantom ability seems to be activated only when others are staring at it, that is to say, as long as his perspective is not in front of the cat, the other party's phantom ability will not kick in.

"Meow meow?"

  The beautiful short cat was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stopped struggling, and let out two meows.

  However, when the call reached Mu You's ears, it was no longer a cat meow, but words he could understand.

   "Meow? Watcher? Nonsense, you are obviously a fool! You despicable outsider...but you can speak Protoss? Who are you?"

"Um?"

  Mu You was even more shocked than Mei Short: "You can also speak Chinese?"

"What are you talking about? I don't know Chinese. This is the communication of consciousness. All domesticated familiars must receive training in communication of consciousness before they are sold. Once they have learned it, they can directly communicate with other creatures in consciousness." Mei Short meowed twice more.
