It seemed that she had taken a fancy to this ability. It was not impossible to accept such a reason. But Lin pointed at the cat beside him and asked, "For this kind of infiltration mission, they are more suitable than me since they are small, right?"
"That's right. But they are too easily distracted if they are just looking for a mission. "
…
While Lin was talking to the moth, some cats were already whispering to each other, talking about their own things. Some cats were jumping and chasing the floating fluorescent scale powder in the air. Some cats were even lying on the ground lazily and rolling around, completely ignoring this gathering that was supposed to be a serious topic. And there were quite a few cats like this.
Lin Huang was speechless. Well, to expect a group of cats to be so smart, like an army, with a command and an action, that was simply a fantasy.
Lin Huang sighed.
After agreeing to accept this mission, Lin Huang asked about the follow-up arrangements if he was going to set off.
The Devil Moth King had a name, Jaina Moss.
Fortunately, it was not called Mothra. Otherwise, he would have to wonder if there were other gatekeepers of the Gates of the Abyss, or if there were other classic monsters from Toho.
The cat assigned to follow him was an older but battle-hardened male cat, Hardy. Gray fur, full of injuries, and a few bald spots. This was the cat that had found its original hiding place when it was in the first group of cats that it had tailed. Fortunately, he had used the Flash Spell to escape before he was discovered.
Other than being one of the best in the cat group, he was also related to the missing Mao Ni. He was the female cat's uncle. It was just that for cats, a certain someone had great doubts about whether seniority was of any use.
It was not that there were no other cats to follow, but no matter which one it was, Lin Huang felt that it was a burden. If he did not need a cat to gain Mao Ni's trust, and a cat that could recognize the female cat, Lin Huang would not even bring Hardy with him.
And it was not difficult to persuade the other cats. Under Jaina Moss's instructions, a human being was not trusted by the cats to carry out the rescue mission. Lin Huang did not want to gain the trust of the cats. Instead, he said that he and Hardy would be the first wave of pathfinders. Hardy would leave marks that all the cats could recognize along the way. A day later, the second wave of rescue teams set off.
There were two advantages to doing this. If the first wave of rescue teams were lost, they could still rely on the second wave of rescue teams. Of course, at this time, he had to speak with a strong sense of righteousness and make the cats feel like he was the savior of everything. The first wave of people was too much of a scumbag, so they could only place their hopes on them.
Another advantage was that with the first advance team leading the way, the cats of the second rescue team could save a lot of trouble and concentrate their strength in the right direction, which would help speed up the search.
Just these two reasons that a certain someone could not withstand scrutiny were enough to convince them!
In short, in the face of the mission of saving a cat like putting out a fire, a certain someone was forced to set off without a good night's sleep.
Lin had nothing to prepare, and neither did Hardy Cat.
The Devil Moth King Jiananmoss slowly raised her forelimbs that had not moved for a hundred years. She used the back of her sickle-like legs to push against the boulder beside her, slowly pushing it away. One of the eight Gates of the Abyss appeared in front of a certain someone and the cats.
This was the first time Lin had seen a Gate of the Abyss. He had only heard of it before. The closest he had come was when he had slipped away before the gate was officially opened, so in the past, he had only seen gates that were about to open but not yet open. But now, it seemed that no matter what kind of gate it was, it was the same in the eyes of a certain someone.
If the Main Material World and the Abyss were compared to the two sides of a valley, the Gate of the Abyss was like a transportation channel that connected the two sides. He had seen it near the Tower of the Great Sage. The Gate of the Abyss that was about to open but not yet open was like a single cableway. It was not a problem to pass through, but it required courage and luck.
As the opening process continued, it was like the way to connect the two sides became more and more stable. The stable Gate of the Abyss in front of him was like a steel bridge that could not be damaged by wind, rain, earthquakes, or landslides.
The Gate of the Abyss that connected the two worlds in front of him was such a stable and safe road. If he wanted to go to the other world, there was no risk of space transfer. He just had to walk over.
The barrier set up by the Devil Moth King, Jenammos, was not like a net or a wall that covered the entire entrance and exit of the gate, preventing people from entering and exiting freely. The barrier in front of him was more like a technological trap from some movies before transmigrating. It was a tunnel filled with beams of light shot out from infrared electric eyes.
If the protagonist wanted to pass through, he would have to pose in all kinds of strange and shameful postures, slowly stepping over or through each beam of light to successfully reach the other side. If he touched the beam of light, he would trigger an alarm and attract a lot of guards.
But as the guardian of the Gate of the Abyss, how could the Devil Moth King be so gentle? Trigger an alarm? Attract guards? If he touched the barrier set up by Jenammos, he would immediately fall into an illusion. If he could not break free from the illusion, his final fate would be to die of thirst or starvation in the tunnel.
According to Jenammos, in her heyday, the barriers here were so densely packed that even mosquitoes might not be able to fly through them. But now, the layout here was sparse. Not only could cats and humans walk through, even an elephant might be able to pass through safely.
But this situation was something normal people should not be able to see. In other words, even during the Devil Moth King's weak period, if an uninformed person walked straight through the Gate of the Abyss' channel of information, they would still run into the barrier and fall into the illusion trap.
However, the barrier in front of him had been damaged before. The originally hidden and invisible barrier was now faintly discernible in the eyes of normal people. As long as he was careful and moved forward slowly, he could avoid all the barriers and safely reach the other side of the tunnel.
What Jenammos needed to do was to restore the concealment of the barrier and put in some effort to set up enough barrier traps. Even if it was not at its heyday, at least it was not as full of holes as it was now. Mao Ni's rescue team needed to find the lost cat and retreat from the Gate of the Abyss before Jenammos finished her work.
Under Jenammos's personal instructions, the man and the cat successfully passed through the Gate of the Abyss that connected the two worlds. Actually, this was not a necessary action for a certain person. But Lin was happy to hide his incompetence and pretend that he did not know anything. He followed behind the Hardy cat and walked out of the Gate of the Abyss.
The gray cat was quite dissatisfied with the fact that it had to follow a human. It also wanted to join the second rescue team and save this human as well.
Of course, Lin did not care what a cat was thinking. After walking out of the Gate of the Abyss, he only observed this famous land that he had set foot on for the first time.
At first glance, there was not much difference between the Abyss and the Labyrinth, the most dangerous place, but the core was very different. First of all, the mixing ratio of the air. The Labyrinth's air contained more oxygen than Earth's by 21%, reaching 33%, or about one-third. The Abyss' oxygen content was only about 11%, replaced by all kinds of sulfur oxides.
Other than the air, the activity of the eight authorities was several times that of the Labyrinth. Growing in this environment, no matter how bad one's talent was, they would at least have the foundation of a mage. A certain person thought so.
As for the scenery of the Abyss, a certain person did not mention it. It was the same old hell apocalypse scene. Lin wanted to curl his lips and be jealous of this world. You are so uncreative.
But looking from everywhere, this place looked like a mage's treasure trove. Just pull out a blade of grass or pick up a rock and bring it back, and you will be able to find a use for it.
It was also understandable why the Devil Moth King Jianamoss said that some gatekeepers were on one side of the Gate, and some were on the other side.
Were humans, or more broadly, the homo sapiens of the Labyrinth, afraid of a demon invasion? Of course they were. Why else would everyone be so nervous when the Gate of the Abyss was about to open next to the Tower of the Great Sage?
Then, were the demons afraid of the homo sapiens of the Labyrinth? A: Yes, they were afraid.
In the history of the Labyrinth, many empires in their heyday had done great things like attacking the Abyss. The Abyss was full of treasures. If the two places could be freely traveled, there would be mages who did nothing but run to the Abyss every day to kill monsters and farm treasures. This was not something that could only be seen in games. Just look at how many poachers there were on Earth.
However, the prerequisite for doing this in the Labyrinth was to build a strong enough defense at the other end of the Gate of the Abyss. Not only did it have to stop the invasion of the demon army, but it also had to become a bridgehead for the invasion.
In history, only a few empires in their heyday could do this and cause great losses to the Abyss. In the end, it was the demons of the Grand Lord level who came out and defeated the invading empires and stopped the war. Usually, this would be the turning point of the empires' history.
This was also the reason why the Abyss decisively closed the Gate of the Abyss after the Tower of the Great Sage defeated the demon invasion and even killed half of the Grand Lord of the Abyss, Dayeuk. In the eyes of the demons, the Tower of the Great Sage was completely qualified to be the bridgehead for the counterattack in the Labyrinth. So, before things developed in a direction that the demons did not want to see, they simply cut off that possibility.
Speaking of which, these magical materials that could be easily obtained were nothing to a certain someone at this point in time. Besides, this time he was here to look for the cat, not for the materials. Magical materials of this level would be a complete burden if they were to carry them on their person. Therefore, no matter what it was, Lin only picked it up and glanced at it before throwing it back to its original place.
Looking at Wheeze who was walking in front of him and sniffing everywhere and ignoring him, Lin asked, "Did you find any clues about your cat?"
Because these magic cats could speak the human language, Lin didn't bother to use their language to talk. Wheeze said with a little dissatisfaction, "I'm trying to find traces of Mao Ni. If you don't know how to do anything, then be quiet and don't disturb me! "
Being looked down upon by a cat...
Speaking of which, this was a very normal thing.
