Golden Pupils

Meow~

A soft, gentle cat's cry rang out at that moment.

With that cry, a little kitten flapped its Wind Wings and dove upward, charging straight at Little Crow.

Both sides rushed toward each other at top speed, as though a great battle were about to erupt.

Yet at that very moment.

Just as Little Crow and the little kitten were about to clash.

Little Crow suddenly split into two. One continued flying toward the little kitten, while the other abruptly darted at Qin Yue.

"Not good!"

Someone shouted loudly, their voice filled with concern.

Below, Qin Yue watched Little Crow dive toward her. She immediately gripped the short blade in her hand, ready to fight.

The birthmark on her left cheek began to tremble, strange patterns emerging across it as her eyes turned golden.

Up in the sky.

Li Xuan suddenly stopped flying. His cat mouth opened wide, and a scorching Fireball condensed before it.

Boom!

A deafening blast thundered through the air. The Fireball struck the diving Little Crow like a cannonball, burning it to ash amid its screech.

Having done all that, Li Xuan's figure flashed as he directly intercepted the other Little Crow. His cat claws slashed out like lightning.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sharp cat claws left streak after streak of afterimages, easily killing Little Crow in a flurry of fierce attacks!

"Well done!"

Song Xiaomei had been watching over Qin Yue's safety the whole time. Seeing the little kitten dispatch two crows so quickly, she could not help praising it aloud.

Yet Song Xiaomei was somewhat dazed by the fact that the little kitten could cast Fireballs. It felt as though she were dreaming.

Whoosh!

The sound of something slicing through the air rang out. Li Xuan rapidly flapped his Wind Wings and flew above the Red Wolf King at top speed, then opened his cat mouth.

Boom!

An Intermediate Fireball fell straight from the sky, shooting fiercely toward the Red Wolf King below.

At that moment.

The Red Wolf King was locked in a life-and-death struggle with the Big Black Bear. Both were Black Iron rank, and the gap in their combat strength was not too great.

The massive Fireball suddenly falling from the sky immediately disrupted the Red Wolf King's rhythm. It could only evade the Fireball at the cost of being injured.

However, it had underestimated the Fireball's power. It did not know that this Fireball had already reached the intermediate level, making it faster and more powerful.

Boom!

The explosion echoed throughout the area. The Red Wolf King, which had tried to dodge, was engulfed from head to toe by scorching flames.

Awooo!!

A pained wolf howl resounded across the area. The smell of roasted meat spread through the air as the Red Wolf King's body collapsed to the ground, its left forepaw severed cleanly.

Roar!

Seizing the opportunity, the Big Black Bear swung its bear paw and smashed it viciously into the Red Wolf King's forehead.

Crack!

The sound of shattering bones rang out. The formidable Black Iron Red Wolf King fell to the ground just like that, dying completely amid the scorching flames.

Boom!

Another massive Fireball descended, crashing down like a meteor onto a Red Wolf and blasting it to death.

But it did not end there.

Several more Fireballs fell from the sky one after another. Every time one landed, it blasted a normal Red Wolf to death.

Before long, the battle came to an end.

More than twenty Red Wolves had all died. Five of them had been instantly killed by Fireballs.

Such terrifying Fireballs made everyone present turn grave, and they vaguely guessed something.

"An Intermediate Fireball. Only an Intermediate Fireball could instantly kill Red Wolves. This little kitten is terrifying!" someone said solemnly.

"What kind of summoned beast is it? Why can it cast Fireballs? Why does it look like a Wind-Wing Cat to me?"

"It definitely isn't a Wind-Wing Cat. Have you ever seen a Wind-Wing Cat that could cast Intermediate Fireballs? This is an Intermediate Fireball."

The other teams discussed it fervently, looking at the soft and adorable little kitten in the sky with awe.

The little kitten at the center of everyone's gaze quietly watched the sky, watching the black crow flying high above.

Caw! Caw! Caw!

The black crow cawed several times and scrutinized the little kitten closely, staring at it as though it were some unknown creature before pulling far away.

The crow flew very high. Any creature trying to approach it would be spotted in advance.

Moreover, it was a Black Iron summoned beast, and its flying speed was extremely fast. Unless someone had intermediate-level Wind Wings, they simply could not catch it.

Therefore.

No one attacked it. They only watched as it flapped its wings and departed.

After it left.

Li Xuan slowly descended from the air, skillfully landing on Qin Yue's left shoulder. He touched the birthmark on Qin Yue's left cheek with his cat head, and the next second, Li Xuan went still.

"Kitty, you're amazing. You can actually breathe fire."

Song Xiaomei ran over from afar, staring at the little kitten in shock as though she were meeting it for the first time.

"This definitely isn't a Wind-Wing Cat. Being able to heal was already terrifying enough, but now it can even shoot Fireballs. It's too powerful," Blackie said in disbelief.

"Yeah, I never expected us to be saved by a little kitten."

The twin brothers looked bitterly at the little kitten, recalling how the Wind-Wing Cat had previously asked to rest.

Thinking about it now, if they had fought Fathead Rats for a long time like everyone else had.

Then, when the Red Wolf pack suddenly charged in, they likely would have suffered casualties.

The thought made the twin brothers feel lingering fear, while also making them deeply grateful to the little kitten.

"Thank you for saving our lives. From this day onward, we will obey any command you give."

The twin brothers spoke in unison, making their promise to the little kitten.

"Qin Yue, I'm so jealous of you. I just want to say, give me ten cats like this," Blackie said enviously as she looked at Qin Yue, puzzled as to why she was not speaking.

It was also at this moment.

The rescued hunting teams approached with a large number of Fathead Rat corpses, expressing their gratitude sincerely.

"Thank you for saving us. These Fathead Rats are for you, as a token of our thanks. Please, you must accept them!"

At that critical moment just now.

The several exhausted hunting teams had been utterly unable to withstand the Red Wolf pack's sudden assault. They surely would have suffered devastating casualties.

Fortunately, Song Xiaomei's Black Iron Big Black Bear and the fire-breathing cat had displayed their mighty prowess. Only then had everyone been saved.

Thus, the hunting teams were all very grateful. They immediately expressed their thanks, while also looking at the little kitten curiously.

"May we ask? What kind of summoned beast is this? Why is it so powerful? Could it be Black Iron rank?"

"More or less. Leave the things here. We accept your thanks."

Song Xiaomei noticed that something was wrong with Qin Yue and the little kitten. She immediately sent the hunting teams away, then ordered the Big Black Bear to stand guard beside Qin Yue.

"What happened to her?"

After the hunting teams had been sent away, Blackie could not help asking.

"I don't know."

Song Xiaomei shook her head, indicating that she did not know. Her small hand tightly gripped her short blade as she stood guard around Qin Yue, forbidding anyone from approaching.

Blackie and the twin brothers naturally knew what to do. They sensibly stayed on the outskirts. Even though they were full of questions, they could only bury them in their hearts.

Time slowly passed, and half an hour soon went by.

Qin Yue, who had been standing motionless, slowly blinked twice. The golden color faded from her eyes, returning them to normal.
