Chapter 80: Setting off and Entering the Netherworld once Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Time slowly passed…

There were still 26 hours before the Claw Mercenaries army set off.

Enoch had already made all the necessary preparations, and he was just waiting for the Pixel Cats to hatch!

Time slowly passed…

At that moment, the Berserk Rats were also jumping around in the Divine Tree Island because of their new companions.

“Do you guys really like your new companions!? They will be coming out soon. I’ll have to leave the Netherworld exploration to you guys.”

“Squeak squeak!”

When the Berserk Rats heard Enoch’s words, they were all excited.

Enoch could feel that the Berserk Rats were treating the Pixel Cats as their younger siblings. As for Enoch, they had already acknowledged him as their big brother or senior early on.

In short, their feelings were very complicated. This made Enoch feel more at ease. At least, the Berserk Rats did not reject them.

It was also very convenient for them to fight together in the future.

Kacha!

While the Berserk Rats were drunk in joy, the Pixel Cat Fruit’s outer shell was broken bit by bit.

Then, one by one, square-shaped cats broke out of the shell!

Whether it was the body, four legs, the head, the tail, or the eyes, they were all square in shape!

At first glance, it was still a little hard to tell if it was a cat because of its pixel-like shape.

These little kittens fully showcased a cat’s habit the moment they were born.

At that moment, they were lying on the ground and sleeping.

“Is there any kitten who is willing to volunteer to be the team leader!?”

The Pixel Cats heard Enoch’s words. They slowly stood up and walked toward Enoch, surrounding him.

Enoch could feel their emotions. He immediately knew that they were expressing themselves, and they also liked Enoch very much.

Although this could not be seen on the surface, emotional resonance would not lie.

The Berserk Rats went forward to greet them, but they only dawdled slightly before starting their own activities.

Cats were like that. No matter what they became, they had their own set of rules.

Enoch took the opportunity to pick up a Pixel Cat. He was surprised to find that although they looked square, the softness of their paws… and the comfort of their super short fur convinced Enoch they were real cats!

“I have 99 cats to pet now!”

As a cat slave, Enoch naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity. Since he now had 99 Pixel Cats, he would definitely touch and play with their fluffy fur as long as there was a chance!

But now, he had more important matters to attend to. He couldn’t just waste his time like this.

Enoch looked at the Pixel Cats in front of him. Although he couldn’t make a decision for a long time, his gaze eventually landed on the Pixel Cat that matched the color of a cow.

“From now on, you will be called Milk and will be their leader. I’m looking forward to your performance.”

“Meow!” Milk looked happy and kept rubbing against Enoch’s leg.

Enoch touched it before taking out a Gale Fruit and feeding it to Milk.

Some changes began to appear on Milk’s body as it ate the fruit, bite by bite!

Its fur swayed without any wind as if a storm had gathered around it.

Then, small whirlwinds appeared under the cat’s feet.

Milk took a step and walked on the whirlwinds.

That’s right!

Its paws left the ground a little bit, and it floated in the air!

At that moment, Enoch checked on the cat.

[Pixel Cat]

[Skill: Hard (passive), Gale Shield]

[Gale Shield can block all items thrown at it, and it has a certain defense function.]

This change overjoyed Enoch. He needed such a pet now. The Pixel Cat, which had a certain level of defense, actually obtained such a suitable skill after eating the Gale Fruit.

Not only did it make Milk’s defense stronger, but it also gave it an active defensive skill.

This way, the Pixel Cat and the Berserk Rat would cooperate more naturally.

One side would mainly attack, while the other would mainly defend.

When they entered the Netherworld, they would not be afraid of the zombies’ sneak attacks!

This was very important!

There was another interesting point that Enoch noticed.

Although the defense of these Pixel Cats was astonishing, their bodies were only a dozen centimeters long. When combined with a 50-centimeter Berserk Rat, there was a huge contrast.

It was also by coincidence that he saw a cat sleeping on a Berserk Rat’s body. This made him think they were a perfect match!

After making preparations, Enoch gave the order!

“Milk, Lightning, each of you will bring 50 Berserk Rats and Pixel Cats into the Netherworld and maintain formation.”

“Squeak!”

“Meow!”

Upon receiving the order, the two little fellows organized the troops.

Soon, the 50 Berserk Rats carrying 50 Pixel Cats on their backs were ready.

Then, they headed into the black fog!

Just like before, Enoch’s eyes were still fixed on Lightning.

One good thing was that Milk was always on Lightning’s body, so this way, Enoch didn’t have to control Milk.

He had also told Milk to protect the Berserk Rats as soon as there was danger.

So now, just like before, he only needed to maintain control from afar to achieve better results than before!

At this time, Enoch returned to the small wooden house and connected to Lightning. The two immediately shared their views.

The Netherworld was still the same as before, and the visibility was very low.

According to the Claw Mercenaries, the dungeon was at the park this time, but Enoch did not know its exact location.

He temporarily opened the map of the area he had explored. The map only showed 8% of the area, the rest unexplored.

He could only refer to some streets to tell the location.

According to the map, there was no such park in the city’s functional area, which meant that it was most likely in the residential area.

Or it could be said that it was behind the nearby closed beta functional area. At present, only these two directions could basically determine the park’s location.

Enoch realized the problem at this time. “If that’s the case, this team is not enough.”

Enoch didn’t have much time for hesitation, so he called the Berserk Rats and Pixel Cats stationed back at his floating island.

Now, the two teams were only one person apart. One was running toward the back while the other was running toward the residential area.

As for which team would find the correct location, he did not know at all.

However, there were only 22 hours left before the Claw Mercenaries’ departure.
