"Ding!"
The boomerang was nailed to the ground not far away, and its handle was still trembling violently.
All of the oncoming horse-drawn carriage slowly came to a halt as they stared at the Purple Golden Mink and the palm-sized orange cat with incredulity in their eyes.
The mutant Purple Golden Mink was at least a 3rd-tier magic beast, yet it had been slapped to death by this little guy's soft paw? Or had it been scared to death?
"What is this little cat?" Everyone's hearts were filled with bewilderment.
"How could this be?!" Evan stopped on a tree and looked on with an incredulous expression. He was prepared to subdue the Purple Golden Mink after it killed the three people in the carriage. That way, he would be able to get rid of Meg and his daughter, as well as get rid of Eva and display his true power to intimidate the other mercenaries. However, his plan had been foiled by a little cat.
"Wha …" A hint of elation flashed through Eva's eyes upon seeing this. However, she then looked at the Purple Golden Mink lying in front of Ugly Duckling, and thought back to what she had just said, upon which her expression darkened significantly.
"Meow ~!" Ugly Duckling stepped forward and placed its little paw on the Purple Golden Mink's head before turning to Amy with a smug expression.
"You're the best, Ugly Duckling!" Amy clapped her little hands with elation before turning to Eva with a smile as she said, "Flat-chested Big Sister, Ugly Duckling caught the big rat. Are you going to eat it now or later?"
"You … I …" Eva's body was trembling with rage, but she was the one who had said those words, so she didn't even have a good retort. Her face was as red as a monkey's butt.
What the hell is this thing? It's definitely not an ordinary orange cat. Could it be some kind of ancient mythological beast? But it was picked up by a herb gatherer so easily? That's so lame! Mag was also quite surprised to see this. It was able to scare a mutated 3rd-tier magic beast to death with just a soft cry, and he still thought that it was just an ordinary orange fatso. If he still thought that it was just an ordinary orange fatso, then he would have lived two lives in vain.
However, in his memory, there were no powerful magic beasts that looked like orange cats. Could it be that it could grow into an elephant and crush its opponents with its weight?
In any case, he could at least confirm that he had struck gold when he had bought an egg from a random street stall.
As for what this little orange cat would grow into, Meg wasn't sure, but according to the law of oranges, it was most likely going to grow into a ball.
Now that the danger had been averted, Meg put down his saber. He looked at Ugly Duckling, which was running back to the horse-drawn carriage and meowing at Amy for a hug. Perhaps it would be a great help to Amy in the future, just like the purple-striped griffin had been to Meg Alex.
Meg jumped down from the horse-drawn carriage with Amy in his arms. Amy bent down and picked up Ugly Duckling with a serious expression as she said, "Well done, Ugly Duckling."
Chiwil pulled his boomerang from the ground and put it back on his waist before turning to Meg and the others, and asked, "Are you guys alright?"
"We're fine. I wonder if the one in the carriage is alright." Meg shook his head with a smile as he pointed at Eva, who was still slumped in the horse-drawn carriage.
"Eva?" Chiwil quickly made his way over to Eva with a concerned expression.
"I … I'm fine." Eva stood up from the edge of the horse-drawn carriage with a shake of her head. Her legs were still trembling slightly. The Purple Golden Mink had just broken through everyone's encirclement and even taken Evan's attack head-on, and she had thought that she was going to die here.
However, there was no hint of gratitude in her eyes as she looked at Meg and Amy. Instead, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes. How could even their cat be able to scare a mutant Purple Golden Mink to death? Was she really going to eat the Purple Golden Mink raw?
All of the mercenaries also gathered around and looked at Ugly Duckling in Amy's arms with curiosity in their eyes. It was only a cub, but it was already able to scare a 3rd-tier magic beast to death; this little guy was most likely the offspring of some kind of high-tier magic beast. However, they didn't know how it had fallen into the hands of Meg and Amy, and how it had become Amy's pet.
"Amy, what kind of magic beast is this kitten of yours? It's so powerful. "Dennis stroked his own hair with a bashful smile on his face as he looked at Amy.
Everyone turned to Amy upon hearing that. Even Chiwil was also looking at Ugly Duckling in Amy's arms with a curious expression.
It was very difficult to encounter cub magic beasts, especially high-tier magic beasts. Generally speaking, if a magic beast's mother was attacked, she would kill her own cub first, even if it was still an egg.
However, this little kitten was so close to Amy, so it was clear that it had grown up by her side. Such an intimate magic beast would become the best assistant to its owner, and it would have absolute loyalty and teamwork. This was a partner that everyone envied.
"It's not a kitten; it's actually a duckling, and it's not a magic beast; it's Ugly Duckling," Amy said as she looked at Dennis with an earnest expression.
"Hmm? Ugly Duckling? "
Dennis faltered slightly as he looked at Ugly Duckling in Amy's arms. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like a cat, not a duckling at all. Furthermore, it looked quite adorable. It wasn't ugly at all.
All of the other mercenaries also wore peculiar expressions. They really couldn't keep up with this little girl's train of thought. However, it appeared that she didn't know what magic beast this was, either. Perhaps she had been raising it as an ordinary kitten all this time. After all, Meg was only a chef. Even hunters like them couldn't identify what magic beast this was, so there was no way that Meg would know.
"However, I can tell you a little secret about Ugly Duckling, but you have to promise to keep it a secret," Amy said as she looked at everyone with a mysterious expression.
"A secret?"
All of the mercenaries were immediately intrigued. Could it be that Amy knew the true identity of this little kitten? Thus, they all nodded to express their willingness to keep it a secret. Even Evan, who was standing in the distance, came closer and listened intently.
"Ugly Duckling isn't actually an ordinary duckling …" Amy looked at all of the mercenaries' eyes, and lowered her voice as she continued, "Its true identity is that of a little swan. When it grows up, it'll become a white swan, and when that time comes, it'll be able to fly into the sky."
"Huh?"
All of the mercenaries stared at Amy and the little kitten in her arms with dumbstruck expressions. Not only was it a duckling, but it was also a white swan? No matter how they looked at it, this little orange thing didn't look like it was going to grow into a white swan in the future!
"Mr. Meg, this mutant Purple Golden Mink was caught by your pet, so it's yours. Its skin can be sold for a good price at the mercenary guild," Chiwil said to Meg with a smile.
Dennis and the others were rather envious, but they had no objections to Chiwil's words.
