Before him was the third hidden map discovered by Little Gray after activating his Eye of the Holy Spirit.
After players reached Level 25, the forest would become one of the main areas for players to train and move around. By then, players would be everywhere in the forest. However, at the northern edge of the forest, under the dense wall of vines, no matter how many players came here, they would not be able to find a hidden cave behind the vines. Even if they found it, they would not be able to enter it. Ling Chen was able to discover it because of Little Gray's ability to detect hidden maps. He was able to open the entrance because of Xi Ling's Flame Destruction ability.
The things in the hidden maps were usually unusual, and there were also unknown dangers hidden in them. Ling Chen summoned his two weapons. After a short pause, he walked forward.
"Little Gray … Go inside and check if there's any danger."
Little Gray accepted the order and dashed in quickly. Little Gray's ability to sense danger was better than his. Every time there was danger, it would notice it before Ling Chen. Moreover, Little Gray's body was light. Not only was it fast, but it also made almost no sound. It would not usually alert anyone.
Ling Chen had only walked a few steps into the cave when he suddenly saw Xiao Hui run back with a "whoosh", and then stopped in front of him, quickly scratching his front paws, and then not waiting for Ling Chen to guess his intentions, he turned around, slowly walking forward.
Little Gray's movement made Ling Chen hold his breath. He followed Little Gray's footsteps and moved forward slowly and quietly … Little Gray's reaction was obviously that there was some danger hidden inside, or something that could not be alerted.
The deeper they went, the darker the light became. In the end, they could not see anything. After walking for tens of meters, the cave began to curve. Little Gray stopped at the curve and waved its front paw inside.
Ling Chen moved forward slightly and looked into the inside of the cave after the curve. As far as he could see, he saw a shiny golden object in the darkness … No, it was an animal. It had a round, ball-like body. Its limbs were short and thick, and its entire body was shining with golden light. At this moment, it was digging something on the innermost wall of the cave with its butt in the air.
Ling Chen was stunned for only half a second before his eyes widened.
That was …
Lucky Cat!!
It was the Maneki-Neko that he had encountered on his way to the Ghastly Grounds. He had even received a frying pan from it, and it was rumored that it possessed countless treasures!
That's right, that was it!!
The entrance was previously covered by tree vines without any gaps. How did this fat golden cat get in? However, this was not important. Qi Yue had said that it was difficult for ordinary people to see a Maneki-Neko even once in their lifetime. It was all about luck that they could see one. It hadn't been long since Ling Chen last saw it, and he actually met it again … What kind of luck was this!
However, the situation this time was very different from the last time.
Ling Chen looked around him. This was a cave, and the end was right in front of him. There was no exit, only one entrance, which was right behind him. This cave was only two meters high and two meters wide. So … if he startled the Maneki-Neko, the only direction it could escape would be the entrance behind him. In other words, it would have to run past him to escape …
Ling Chen silently raised his right hand. If that was really the case, and he could seize the opportunity to release a "Moon Shadow" when it got close … he would be able to freeze its body and catch it!
Thinking of this, Ling Chen's lips curled up slightly. The Maneki-Neko's ability to escape was unparalleled. It was said that no one had ever been able to catch it. If he could really catch it, how much benefit would he gain?
At this moment, the Maneki-Neko's actions were almost exactly the same as the first time he met it. Both times, it was digging for something with its butt in the air. The last time, it was digging for Scarlet Fire Mystical Gold. This time, it was definitely not something ordinary. Anything that could catch the Maneki-Neko's attention would definitely not be ordinary.
In other words, there was definitely something unusual hidden on the wall. If it dug it away, it would be something that belonged to the Maneki-Neko.
Ling Chen made a prompt decision and immediately took a step forward. He did not purposely suppress the sound of his footsteps. Sure enough, this light sound caused all of the Maneki-Neko's golden fur to stand up. Its round and bulging body turned around, revealing its basin-like face. The golden bell on its neck rang. Ling Chen did not hide anymore. He took a step forward, put away his weapons, and focused. He raised his right wrist, which was wearing the Lunar Scourge, slightly. If the Maneki-Neko ran away from him, then, as long as he could seize that moment of opportunity …
When the Maneki-Neko was approached by other creatures, it would immediately run away. However, when it faced Ling Chen, all of its fur stood up. Just like the first time, it did not immediately run away. He did not know if it was because the thing here made it unwilling to leave, or if it did not have the guts to run away from Ling Chen's side. It stood there and stared at Ling Chen. Ling Chen made up his mind and directly walked forward, approaching the Maneki-Neko step by step.
"Meow meow meow!"
Ling Chen's approach caused the Maneki-Neko to let out a strange cry of fear. It could not find a place to run back, and it did not have the guts to go forward. It stretched out its two large paws, and something appeared in its paws. It fiercely threw it at Ling Chen with a "meow".
This big fat cat's strength was not just for show. Ling Chen was still 40 to 50 metres away from it when he instantly saw a yellow thing flying towards him … It was a pineapple-shaped thing, with a pineapple-like body, pineapple-like color, and pineapple-like leaves …
Wait … that was a pineapple!!
At the same time, the information from Little Gray's Eye of the Holy Spirit appeared in Ling Chen's mind.
[Angry Pineapple]: A violent pineapple that has been demonized. Its catchphrase is, "Our pineapples are not to be trifled with!"
Effect 1: [Pineapple Bomb]: When thrown, it will explode upon landing, causing a strong vibration in the surrounding space. There is a 100% chance of stunning all targets within 50 metres (including the longitudinal distance) for at least 5 seconds. There is no damage. After the explosion, the Angry Pineapple will disappear. If the Angry Pineapple was caught before it landed, it could be prevented from exploding …
Seeing this, Ling Chen's eyes widened …
If this pineapple landed, it would cause a 100% chance of stunning all targets within 50 metres!!
F * ck!
Ling Chen, who had originally planned to avoid the pineapple, rushed towards it without hesitation. His eyes locked onto its trajectory, and he stretched out his hands to grab the pineapple firmly in his hands …
The pineapple did not explode, and Ling Chen immediately heaved a long sigh of relief. This big fat cat was indeed not simple. Even a random pineapple could be so terrifying. If such a pineapple was thrown in a group battle, the effect would be terrifying.
The pineapple that did not explode fell into Ling Chen's hands and became his. He quickly put it into his backpack. Seeing that its pineapple bomb was caught, Maneki-Neko jumped. It waved its paws, and two pineapples appeared in its paws. It then threw them at Ling Chen.
When the two pineapples left Maneki-Neko's paws, Ling Chen already knew its flying speed and trajectory. He immediately rushed forward, but his eyes were not on the two pineapples. Instead, he stared at Maneki-Neko to prevent it from escaping. When the two pineapples flew towards him, he quickly grabbed them with both hands and threw them into his backpack.
How could a person who could dodge bullets at close range be unable to deal with two pineapples?
"Meow!!!!" The Lucky Cat panicked, and after letting out a strange cry, waved its paws, and with a "swish swish swish", three pineapples were thrown out … this time the big fat cat was smarter, and didn't throw the three pineapples at the same time, but one after the other. Each pineapple flew at a different speed. Ling Chen glanced at the three pineapples, and after determining that they would all be able to reach his position, he didn't move. He thought to himself, "This big fat cat is so stupid, if it directly threw them at my feet, I wouldn't be able to escape even if I didn't want to."
As he thought about it, he stretched out his right hand and casually grabbed the first pineapple in his hand. Then, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed the second pineapple that flew towards him. At the same time, his right hand had already put the first pineapple into his backpack. Then, he grabbed the third pineapple … Just as his palm was about to touch the pineapple, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Why did this pineapple look one size bigger than the previous ones …
[Raging Pineapple]: The violent pineapple among the violent pineapples. After throwing, any object that it touches will explode instantly, causing a strong vibration in the surrounding space. There is a 100% chance of stunning all targets within 100 meters (including the longitudinal distance) for at least 10 seconds. There is no damage. After the explosion, the raging pineapple will disappear.
Ling Chen said, "I!!! @ # ¥% … "
Boom!!!
When his finger touched the raging pineapple, there was a loud roar. Ling Chen's body shook, and his consciousness went blank. Even Xi Ling, who was beside him, fell from the air.
Damn … I was tricked by this big fat cat!! This was the last sentence that flashed through Ling Chen's mind before he lost consciousness.
After a while, when Ling Chen recovered from the stun, the cave in front of him was empty. There was no sign of the Lucky Cat. Xi Ling, who had been stunned, flew up from the ground, and gave a depressed cry. Even Xi Ling, who was a Heaven's End grade monster, was stunned. The power of the pineapple bomb was not just for show.
"I was too careless!" Ling Chen knocked his head in frustration. This Lucky Cat had been in the Forgotten Continent for so many years, and had never been caught before. How could a small player like him catch it so easily?
However, it was not like he did not gain anything from meeting the Lucky Cat again. Ling Chen opened his bag, and looked at the five big pineapples in his bag … These were five super killing machines with a large area of effect stun ability! Although the Maneki-Neko Cat had escaped, the five pineapples could be used to great effect in many situations.
Moreover, the Raging Pineapple seemed to have two uses. He only looked at the first one, and did not have time to look at the second one. Thus, he picked up a big pineapple and looked at its second attribute:
Raging Pineapple: …
Effect 2: [Pineapple Pineapple Honey]: Hold it in your hand and silently chant 'Pineapple Pineapple Honey' to immediately transform into a large pineapple. No creature of any level or grade will be able to see through your true form. The effect lasts for 10 minutes at most. After the effect ends, the angry pineapple will disappear.
Ling Chen: ⊙ ﹏ ⊙ b
Well, the second effect was more or less unacceptable.
After putting the pineapple back into his bag, Ling Chen took a look at his gold coins … Suddenly, his eyes widened, and his face turned from white to red, from red to green, from green to black … Then, a loud roar shook the small cave.
"My gold coins!!!!!"
