"Hmm … hmm, yummy, yummy …"
Inside the quiet room, Lucky sat at the dining table. He picked up another large drumstick and munched on it with grease dripping from his lips.
There were guards outside the room, so no one would suddenly barge in and disturb him, and no one would fight with him. Wu Siyu, who usually liked to fight with him, was also not around. Lucky was also a little full, so he slowed down his eating speed and slowly nibbled on the food, slowly savoring the delicious taste.
While eating to his heart's content, Lucky couldn't help but close his eyes and relax his body.
Even though this world was dangerous, if he was suddenly asked to return to the Dreamlands and face the Ulthar Cats, he might not be willing to do that.
'This place is the best. I can eat drumsticks every day. As long as I want it, I can get it in a different style. Just like the humans said, this is the life of an emperor. '
Crack!
Suddenly, Ji Li felt a heavy blow on his head. He was shocked, and all the hairs on his body tensed up. This familiar force …
"Stupid Zoog, fat Zoog, greedy Zoog!" Violent slapping and cursing came from behind him. Lucky could tell it was one of his companions, an evil Zoog. He turned back to look and as he expected, a very large Zoog was standing behind him. The Zoog was glaring at him with hostility.
"The tribe sent you here to inspect the humans but this is what you do? You only know how to eat!"
The evil Zoog finished his sentence by slapping Lucky's head. His claw snatched the unfinished drumstick from Lucky's hand. He stuffed it into his mouth and kicked Lucky off the table, signaling that all the drumsticks on the table belonged to him.
"You, you, you …" Lucky rolled on the floor. He was about to jump back to the table to fight for the drumstick but he was too fat.
However, it was really too fat now. Even when it tried to move its feet, it did not have the slightest bit of resistance …
"Why are you here?" Lucky finally asked.
He did not ask how the evil Zoog managed to sneak past the heavy security. If the Zoogs could not even break through the humans' defense, then they were useless. Humans insisted on forming an alliance with the Zoogs because they did not have the ability to do so.
"The Patriarch sent me!" The evil Zoog bit into the drumstick as he slammed the table. "Your information has been sent back. The tribe leader and the elders have had another round of discussion and have come to a decision. It is time …"
The evil Zoog swallowed the mouthful of chicken. He choked and swallowed with difficulty. "It's time to demand our gratitude from the humans! Besides … "
The slamming on the table softened. This was the highest secret of the Zoogs, it could not be leaked.
When Jill heard the new news, his expression suddenly changed. His two beady eyes shrunk as fear and panic filled his heart …
"Really?" It patted its belly and asked, trembling slightly. "The patriarch has already decided? Did the elders agree? "
"Yes, that's right." The evil Zoog chewed on the drumstick. "Our tribe is ready, this time we will have a different result … You! After I leave, go talk to the humans about this. Set off within three days in this world, bring them to the Enchanted Forest, and then … "
There was a ball of fire in the evil Zoog's eyes.
Its full and strong facial muscles bounced up and down as it chewed. Its ferociousness made Lucky only dare to nod and not dare to say a word.
It did not take long for the evil Zoog to finish the rest of the drumsticks on the table. He chewed on the bones and swallowed them whole. He even licked the soy sauce off the plate. Then, he slammed the table and dragged his bulging stomach away from the air-conditioner on one of the walls of the room.
Jill stood where he was. After a while, he shook the fat off his body and walked out of the room.
His good days were over, this was a time of trouble!
If only he had known this would happen.
Just as Jill poked his head through the door, his two guards noticed him. They asked him what he wanted. Jill requested to be brought to where Wu Shiyu and Gu Jun were, he had something important to tell them. He did not say these words out loud, they wouldn't understand him anyway. He was using a simple sign language invented by humans.
It really didn't understand. Why would humans think that these gestures were easier to understand than the sound of slapping?
Soon, Jill, who was wrapped in a doll's jacket, was led into another room by the corridor by the two guards.
Gu Jun, Yu Chi and the rest were still enjoying themselves. They had no idea that they were in big trouble and that they did not have many days left to live.
When they saw him walk in, they stopped eating and chatting. Gu Jun asked and Wu Shiyu translated, "Jill, is something wrong?"
"Our tribe leader has made the decision." Jill tried to straighten his back as he walked over. "We are going to fulfill the debt that the humans owe us. We need you to help the Zoogs. After this is done, the Zoogs will be the best of allies with the humans."
After listening to Wu Shiyu's translation, Gu Jun's heart lifted. 'Is this our chance?'
Yu Chi and Feng Peiqian were listening. Uncle Dan quickly contacted the headquarters. Tong Ye said it was fine to let the Mysterium Messengers know.
Because it was very likely that the Mysterium World would need to work together to complete this task.
If the Phecda World was confident they could do it alone, then they would show the Mysterium World their power.
Since only the Phecda World had the channel to Dreamlands, they did not have to worry about the Mysterium World snatching the Zoogs away.
Their biggest fear was that the Zoogs would reject the alliance, now that they had the chance, they were more than happy. Human civilization had survived many obstacles, they were not afraid of another one. If the Zoogs needed help, no matter how difficult it was, they would do their best to help.
However, Wu Shiyu, who was the most familiar with the Zoogs, could see the fear on Jill's face. He wanted to clap but he did not say anything.
It was as if he was going to reveal the person whose name he could not even mention.
"The reward we want is …" Jill gathered his courage and finally patted his stomach before everyone's eyes. He uttered his request, "Human, help the Zoogs defeat the evil cats at Ulthar. Give them a taste of our power so that we, the Zoogs, will no longer need to pay tribute!"
As he said that, Jill shivered. It was hard to tell whether he believed this would happen or not.
Gu Jun was stunned. 'Defeat the cats at Ulthar?'
Because Peacock and Malachite were not in the room, he was the only one who had been to Ulthar and the only one who had seen the Ulthar cats. There were cats everywhere in Ulthar, all kinds of cats, and they weren't ordinary cats. One look and you could tell that they weren't. Great Elder Atal had also said that they weren't. He really had.
Gu Jun still had no idea what kind of power these cats possessed, perhaps they were even stronger than the multi-colored cat that Dirty-minded Yu once transformed into.
The Zoogs suddenly declared war … They wanted to push the humans to the front, right?
If the humans could hold the Ulthar cats back, the Zoogs would charge; if the humans failed, the Zoogs would run away. There would be no retaliation.
"Jill, this is not a very generous reward …" Gu Jun said to himself, "This is a super generous reward."
'What? ' Yu Chi, Feng Peiqian and the rest looked at each other.
Even Uncle Dan and Cai Zixuan who had experience in Dreamlands did not get it.
"Captain Gu, aren't they just some cats?" Just as Yu Chi said that, he was reminded of something. "Cats … In ancient Egyptian mythology, cats have divine power. Cats are the lifeforms closest to God, closer than humans … cats, cats!" Yu Chi looked at Wu Siyu. "That's right, Nyarlathotep took the form of a cat and made you his servant. Nyarlathotep, could he be the god worshipped in ancient Egypt … Apep?! Apep?! "
Once Yu Chi lost his mind, his words would be jumbled up. Only he knew how the clues would rush into his brain.
Apep, in ancient Egyptian mythology, was the embodiment of chaos, darkness and destruction, a serpent. He was also the twin brother and biggest enemy of the sun god, Amon Ra.
Myths could change. Could Apep be the understanding and record of Nyarlathotep by the Egyptians?
It took Yu Chi some time to explain his idea to the group.
"This, the cats of Ulthar …" Jill stuttered to answer the question. "They do have some power, that's why we Zoogs are bullied … But in any case, that's the tribe's intention. If humans can help us defeat those evil cats, then we'll form an alliance, or else we won't be able to form an alliance."
It asked Wu Siyu to carry it to the dining table and eat back the portion that it had lost just now. While eating, it said,
"Also, if you agree, we'll depart in 3 days. Currently, there is a new path leading to the forest outside of Ulthar at Mo Bei. The path is still new, it should last for some time. We depart in 3 days. After you help us, perhaps you'll be able to use the same path to return. "
Gu Jun sank into silence. He did not have the power to decide. Even if he did, he would not agree so easily.
The cats of Ulthar were not to be trifled with …
Furthermore, the Great Atal had said that if the cats were offended at Ulthar, the citizens of Ulthar would be enraged.
In fact, even the Temple of Ulthar would retaliate.
"Erm …" Wu Shiyu saw Gu Jun's frown and Jill's trembling face. Wu Shiyu knew this was not going to be easy.
However, she had an idea. After all, she had been a cat for some time. Compared to other people, she had a deeper understanding of cats.
"Actually, cats don't like fighting." She said, "They can eat their fill and enjoy the sun. They don't even care about mice. So why do they have to fight? Can we talk to them on behalf of the Zoogs and see if they can come to an agreement? "
"Talk?" Jill slapped her forehead sadly. "They won't be willing to talk, they won't! They will only toss you into the sky and leave you there alone. You'll die of starvation or cold, they won't talk … "
Yu Chi and Feng Peiqian were not familiar with the situation so they could not come up with any ideas.
However, Gu Jun had a feeling that the Zoogs would not talk to him, but that did not mean they would not talk to Wu Shiyu …
He looked at Wu Siyu, who was still eating with her chopsticks.
Because of Dirty-minded Yu, she was different.
