Peking Opera Cat Heart Feather

Chapter 138: Call for the Foot Games

Night fell, and moonlight streamed down the quiet village. After enjoying a hearty dinner, Bai Tang and the other kittens drifted off to sweet dreams. After all, they were still young children, exhausted from a long day's work.

But Bai Xinyu didn't fall asleep like the other cats. She got up quietly, afraid to wake her sleeping companions. She quietly went to a small hill outside the house. Away from the hustle and bustle, she could calm down and think about some problems.

Standing on the hillside, the breeze gently ruffling her hair, Bai Xinyu closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, gradually calming her chaotic mind. Then, she focused her mind and began communicating with the system within her body: "System, what has been going on with you these past few days? Ever since we emerged from that mysterious, gloomy valley, you've become noticeably less talkative."

Upon hearing Bai Xinyu's question, the system slowly transformed into Bai Xinyu's image. Its expression was slightly resigned, and it softly said, "Your rate of growth and advancement has truly exceeded my expectations. Things that were supposed to happen in the next few cases are now known to you in advance. Therefore, I need to make some necessary adjustments to my data and programs to accommodate this change."

Bai Xinyu frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, and suddenly asked, "System, I always feel that you and that terrifying An seem to have some connection. Remember when we were in the Haze Valley? For a short period of time, you completely lost contact."

"Only you, a clever cat, know how to operate the system, so you can relax and have peace of mind! (?′w`?)" Bai Xinyu, who was transformed by the system, had a confident smile on his face.

However, Bai Xinyu seemed a little hesitant: "But..." It hesitated to speak, as if it still had doubts in its heart.

Before Bai Xinyu could finish her words, the system interrupted her hurriedly: "Oh, don't say that! Come, look over there." As the words fell, the system-changed Bai Xinyu stretched out his finger and pointed to the distance.

Bai Xinyu, who had been about to continue questioning, was cleverly diverted by the system. She turned in the direction indicated, and her gaze was instantly drawn to the fact that the Bianri tribe leader was stealthily climbing the other side of the hill, holding a mysterious object that looked like a gun.

After arriving at their destination, Chief Bianri carefully pulled out an extremely precious, one-of-a-kind time crystal from his bosom and gently placed it between the muzzle of his gun. He then took a deep breath, gripped the gun tightly with both hands, aimed at the sky, and decisively pressed the fire button.

Unexpectedly, perhaps because the gun was so old, the first time he pressed the button, there was no response. The Braided Sun leader frowned slightly, but he wasn't discouraged. He quickly picked up the gun and pounded it against his palm a few times, as if that would restore it to normal operation. Then, he pointed toward the sky and pressed the fire button several times in succession.

Finally, after a series of twists and turns, accompanied by a resounding "bang," the gun was successfully fired. Instantly, a dazzling light shot straight into the sky, like a brilliant firework suddenly bursting into life in the night sky. As the light gradually faded, people were astonished to discover that a vast ring composed of countless glittering crystals slowly emerged from the sky. This ring, emitting a captivating brilliance, unfolded slowly in the air like a dream, a breathtaking beauty.

"Hahahahaha... the day of our Hai Clan's resurgence is coming!" The identification team leader looked up at the mysterious circle slowly unfolding in the sky, a chillingly evil smile on his face. His eyes, gleaming with greed, stared intently at the gradually clearing pattern, as if he saw the glorious scene of the Hai Clan about to rise and dominate the world.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the Bu Clan, the atmosphere was extremely tense. In a rage, the sub-clan leader, Dengfeng, hurled an exquisite wooden box in front of the brothers Gufeng and Guyue. With a resounding bang, the box shattered, its contents scattering to the ground. Gufeng and Guyue, already kneeling in fear, recoiled in shock at this sudden action.

"You two useless bastards! You wasted so many of my precious Time Crystals, only to bring me back a worthless fake like this? And you've even caused me to be punished by the Sect Master and fined a full hundred Time Crystals! That's a hundred!" Dengfeng was furious, his eyes wide open, practically spitting fire. At this moment, he no longer had the dignity of a clan leader; he looked like a completely enraged wild cat.

You know, for the clan, time crystals are extremely precious. Each time crystal represents great wealth and power. And now, because of the mistakes of Gu Feng and Gu Yue, a hundred time crystals were lost at once, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the clan. What made Deng Feng even more unacceptable was that he was severely punished by the clan leader for this. Looking at Rong Yan, he was making an unforgivable mistake.

"Please calm down, Chief!" Gu Feng and Gu Yue fell to their knees with a thud, their bodies trembling with extreme fear, their voices trembling. "That damn black storm just passed, and that old fellow Bian Ri has actually colluded with those little cats who appeared out of nowhere! In my opinion, they must have successfully obtained the real treasure map! It's all my fault for my incompetence, Chief, please punish me! But I beg you to give me and my sisters one more chance to atone for our sins. We will set out immediately and bring back the treasure map intact and present it to you, Chief!"

The Dengfeng tribe leader's face was filled with rage. His eyes, as big as copper bells, were wide open as he stared at the two men kneeling and begging for mercy. He snorted coldly, "Hmph! If it weren't for your past contributions, I would have torn you into pieces by now! Well, I'll spare you this time. Where are Gu Yun and Gu Yan? Come with me to the Hai tribe and take back the treasure that rightfully belongs to me, Deng Feng!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two dark figures flashed from the crowd, swiftly approaching Dengfeng like ghosts. These two figures were well-proportioned, and from a distance, they appeared to be stunning beauties. But up close, they exuded a powerful aura. One was called Guoyun, the other Guoyan, both trusted generals of the Dengfeng clan leader.

Just as the three of them were preparing to depart for the Hai Tribe, a gigantic ring suddenly rose from the sky above their heads without warning. The ring radiated a dazzling light, like a golden sun hanging in the sky, making it impossible to look directly at it.

"It was a ring emitting a strange light. When it came into view, the steps that were about to climb the peak came to an abrupt halt. Everyone looked in the direction of the ring, their eyes filled with confusion and surprise.

Gufeng stared at that direction, and after a brief observation and reflection, he finally recognized that this was the path leading to the Hai Clan. Just as they were discussing this, something unexpected happened - they saw rings rising from the ground like mushrooms after rain. They slowly rose, gradually approaching each other, and finally combined into an extremely huge ring.

However, this large circle wasn't perfect. Next to the initial circle, a prominent space was deliberately left empty. Clearly, there was room for another circle. At this point, someone exclaimed, "That's the call to action for the Bu Zong Sports Meet!"

Hearing this, Deng Feng's face instantly turned gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "What a sinister and cunning plan! These guys are afraid that we will just rob them directly, so they resort to such despicable means. It's really despicable!"

Faced with this sudden situation, Gu Yun couldn't help but look anxiously at the sky where eleven rings had already been gathered, but only the ring representing their clan was missing. He then turned to Deng Feng and asked, "What should we do now?"

Dengfeng pondered for a moment, a flicker of determination in his eyes. He coldly spat out four words: "Take advantage of their strategy!" Before he had finished speaking, another ring rose from beneath their feet, hurtling toward the larger ring in the sky. As this ring successfully slotted into the gap, the entire ring formation suddenly became complete and magnificent, like a dazzling sun hanging high in the sky.
