"Xiao Hei?" Luo Fan's heart tightened at the sight of the Nightmare Nekomata.
The Third Eye on the Nightmare Nekomata's forehead, which had been tightly shut, had now opened a crack. A soft glow shone through the gap between its eyelids.
The Nightmare Nekomata looked to be in terrible pain, rolling on the ground and meowing at Luo Fan, its cries urgent and shrill.
"Is this... a breakthrough to a Third-Tier Weird?"
Seeing the Nightmare Nekomata's condition, Luo Fan understood what was happening.
He remembered discussing the Nightmare Nekomata with Master Wen Hao before.
What had Master Wen Hao said back then?
The Third Eye on a third-tier Nightmare Nekomata's forehead was always open.
Moreover, each Third Eye had entirely different properties.
Some could wield the power of fire, while others could cast illusions. The effects of each Nightmare Nekomata's Third Eye seemed to differ.
However, even Master Wen Hao did not know whether opening its Third Eye allowed a Nightmare Nekomata to become a Third-Tier Weird, or whether it had to become a Third-Tier Weird before it could open its Third Eye.
He was unsure which was the cause and which was the effect.
The Nightmare Nekomata meowed at him in pain, clearly pleading with him for something.
But he could not understand what its cries meant at all.
Luo Fan felt anxious and helpless.
At the same time, he realized that the Nightmare Nekomata probably had to open its Third Eye completely before it could enter the Third Stage.
Otherwise, if reaching the Third Stage automatically opened its eyes, the Nightmare Nekomata would not be in this state.
"Xiao Hei, what do you want to do?"
"Wait, you're meowing at me because I can help you, right?"
"Do you want cat food? Fierce Beast Meat? Or Weird Crystals?"
