Xiao Maoquan pretended not to hear, picked up the big cat, threw it on his back and ran away. Before the team members on the shore had time to react, their cat team was taken away.
"Where are you going?" The speed of the strange beast was so fast that Yu Jiatang couldn't open his eyes because of the wind.
Xiao Mao didn't answer, he ran with him for several kilometers and stopped when he was almost out of the forest.
Then in front of Yu Jiatang came a strange beast that transformed into a living person.
And this time Xiaomao's transformed form was not the form of a child of a few years old, but an adult man.
Yu Jiatang was dumbfounded.
In the past, most shit shovelers in the mission world looked a bit colder, but this time...
Yu Jiatang looked at the two horns on the opponent's head, and didn't make a sound for a while.
"Put on your clothes first." Yu Jiatang bought some adult men's clothes on the system and handed them to him.
After Xiaomao turned from a beast to a human, his previous clothes were long gone, and he couldn't wear the children's clothes in the storage cloth bag on his body.
Just as Xiao Mao was about to say something, he sneezed again, and then touched his nose: "This body has not been completely controlled, so occasionally there will be some abnormalities, but it will be fine soon."
After he got dressed, Yu Jiatang couldn't help but ask, "What race are you?"
Xiaomao walked over and patted the big cat's protruding ears: "I don't have a race, and I can control my appearance."
Yu Jiatang: "..."
It's also a long time to see you.
Yu Jiatang took a look at Xiao Mao who was dressed. The clothes he picked were all skinless and conservative. However, when he wore them on this person, he forced him to wear a sullen air, which made him a cat see , wanted to tear off his clothes.
Yu Jiatang wanted to call out Xiao Mao, but he couldn't call out when he saw his face. For the first time, he wondered if he chose his name too casually
This kind of handsome face with the perfect protagonist type, and a much taller and stronger physique than ordinary people, does it seem that it doesn't match the name Xiaomao
"Let's talk about something serious, do you dare to put away your pair of unicorn horns?" Yu Jiatang said with a serious face. Although his paws have been stretched up and rubbed several times.
Xiao Mao frowned: "... It's not that I don't want to, but I can't."
"It's strange, other places are fine, but I can't change back just this pair of unicorns."
Yu Jiatang: "Don't scare me, with a pair of horns, how can I bring you back to the base?"
"That's why I brought you here." Xiao Mao pointed to the cave behind him.
"Until my body returns to normal, I can't go back to the base."
Yu Jiatang glanced at the cave, and then thought of the single-family building he bought at the base for hundreds of green crystals, and his heart ached: "Why don't you try to change it again? I like you!"
Xiaomao held his qijiao and rubbed it a few times, but the qijiao was still standing there firmly, showing no sign of shrinking back.
"I really can't shrink back..."
Yu Jiatang lay prone on the grass, thinking about how to explain to the people in the team.
Seeing his attention being diverted, Xiao Mao slowly moved back.
"Wait a minute!" Yu Jiatang suddenly stood up from the ground, staring at Xiao Mao: "Where's the mutated crystal of the corpse fish?"
Xiao Mao: "..." I'm really afraid of something.
"The fight just now was too intense, I didn't think about it for a while..."
Yu Jiatang interrupted him: "So, the mutated crystal is still in the body of the corpse fish, right?"
"No, I have to go back."
Xiao Mao hurriedly stopped him: "Don't worry, the ice I froze won't melt that easily, and no one can take it away except me. We'll go get it after the mercenary team leaves."
"Then I'll use the communicator to talk to them."
Yu Jiatang directly contacted Wen Tong and Chen Jin and asked them to go back and hand in the task first. The task nameplate has been displayed in green, which means that the task is completed, and you can go back to the task hall to receive rewards. Even without this third-level corpse crystal, there will be a lot of rewards, as well as various benefits promised by the previous base.
After they learned that Yu Jiatang was fine, Chen Jin asked again: "We searched the area for a long time but didn't see Captain Xiaomao. He didn't come out of the water after he went into the water before, did he..."
Chen Jin is no better than the other team members, he and Wen Tong are not easy to fool, especially Wen Tong, she may have suspected that Xiao Mao is the former little serval, but everyone has come all the way, is it human? it is not important.
"The fact is this. After the end of the world, Xiaomao's body has some changes that are different from ordinary people, and sometimes it will produce alienation..." Yu Jiatang said a lot of half-truths.
Chen Jin was also dumbfounded, but since the end of the world, all unscientific things have popped up. His mental acceptance ability is higher than that of ordinary people, so he didn't get entangled in this matter much.
When Chen Jin explained to others, she didn't directly mention Xiaomao's specific situation, but said that after he forced the corpse fish out of his head, he was chased by other water monsters, and now he was reunited with the cat team and it was safe.
When the mercenary team was receiving the mission reward, the captain was not present, and the staff in charge of the mission hall had to make a mission call and ask the captain to confirm on the nameplate.
If the captain dies, the nameplate will also record the death information and send it to the mission hall as soon as possible. At that time, other team members who need to receive mission rewards only need to sign a few relevant documents.
Yu Jiatang looked at the series of reward lists sent by other team members on the nameplate, feeling overwhelmed.
If he doesn't go back, he won't be rewarded to receive it.
If you don't claim it for more than three months, and don't sacrifice your certification, the reward will be automatically transferred to your identity badge account. The income of the mutant beast is transferred to the owner.
The owner on Yu Jiatang's identity plate is Xiao Mao, but neither of them can receive...
When Xiao Mao, who was cooking, turned around, he saw the big cat lying on the ground with a loveless face.
All the cooking utensils were bought by Yu Jiatang on the system. Xiaomao went to the forest to catch a few submutated beasts, and made broth and stir-fried vegetables.
After eating and drinking enough, Yu Jiatang took out a tent from the system space and went through several mission worlds. It can be said that there are all kinds of objects stored in his system space, which is more abundant and complete than department stores.
When Yu Jiatang was going to bed at night, he also received a voice message from Wen Tong using the contact function of the nameplate. It probably means that now that everyone has received the rewards, the house promised by the base will not be fully transferred until a few days later.
Now they are celebrating at a restaurant at the base, and everyone regrets that the Cat Team and Captain Xiaomao didn't make it.
Yu Jiatang listened to the dishes reported by Wentong, and said nothing, but replied to her: "I have just gone to the Caiyang River to retrieve the mutated crystal of the corpse fish. The color of the third-grade mutated crystal is Orange."
Wen Tong didn't reply for a while.
Then the contact information of other people was sent over, "Team cat, please return to the base quickly! The news that we completed the corpse fish mission spread as soon as we came back. Do you know how much the third-level mutant crystal is currently sold on the black market at the base?" ?”
Yu Jiatang quickly asked: "How much has it been?"
In the end, the other side seemed to be dumb. No matter how much he asked, those teammates didn't send him a message back.
Yu Jiatang scratched his heart and didn't fall asleep all night. The first thing he did when he got up the next day was to see if Xiao Mao's unicorn horns had retracted. As long as they retracted, they could return to the base, even if the task reward was on Xiao Mao's account. , they couldn't get it, and there was still an orange crystal.
In Caiyang River Forest, there are a lot of mutated beasts, and there are also corpse beasts, but they are rare, and most of them are purely mutated and sub-mutated beasts.
But under the Caiyang River, there are not many mutated fish and shrimps, almost all of them are corpses, they cannot be eaten at all, and the water cannot be drunk.
Fortunately, Yu Jiatang has the ability of the water system, and they are not short of water and supplies. After wandering in the forest for several months, the pair of unicorn horns on Xiaomao's head showed signs of shrinking back.
Yu Jiatang ate the meat of sub-mutated beasts for several months. He and Xiao Mao would hunt corpse beasts or go down the river to kill corpse-like fish and shrimps, or hunt mutant plants. Every day there would be hundreds of mutant crystals. accounted for. Most of them are green crystals.
This time, Yu Jiatang didn't save anymore, and used all of it to upgrade his abilities and character level.
In other quest worlds, he would definitely be a good cat who treats money like dirt, but in this quest world, the degree of completion of the quest is closely related to his ability level, that is, the level of strength and character level.
The fastest way to upgrade them is to mutate crystals, and keep fighting.
There are all kinds of monsters in the Caiyang River, and Yu Jiatang once encountered a huge corpse crab.
It is also a third-level corpse creature.
To be honest, Yu Jiatang has a shadow on things like crabs, and seeing their claws hurts their claws, but this crab is very pure and unaffected, and grows the mutated crystal in the center of the outer shell of the crab!
He has seen mutated crystals grow on the head, chest, and even the soles of the feet, but they are all inside the flesh. This is the first time he has seen this kind of mutated crystals directly grown outside!
"The color of that orange crystal is almost yellow. It should be close to the fourth level of corpse transformation. Are you sure?" Yu Jiatang stepped on the back of the unicorn and asked with a serious cat face.
Xiaomao definitely can't say that he can't do it, "No problem, I can feel its strength, under me, I just don't know the direction of its supernatural evolution..."
Before Xiao Mao could finish his sentence, the giant corpse crab on the opposite side spat out a stream of ice scum.
Xiao Mao quickly dodged to avoid it.
He didn't even look at where the ice slag attack that he dodged landed in the end, he went straight to meet it, and spit out a group of ice blades that were stronger, wider and sharper than the opponent's attack.
His abilities will increase in variety as his body changes, and now he already has several abilities with different attributes.
The crab shell after the giant crab's corpse didn't rot, but became extremely hard. Xiaomao's ice blade left many marks on the crab shell, but it didn't penetrate it.
Xiaomao and the corpse crab went through a few tricks, and suddenly found that he seemed to have forgotten something, but when he looked back, he found that the big cat was frozen on the river.
Xiaomao: ... It's over.
When I was attacking by the corpse crab ice slag just now, I forgot that the cat owner was still on my back, and I threw it out with too much movement...
