The Villain's Little Cat

“It seems to be something important.” Petra kept the gem. He himself was not clear about the use of this gem, but it was not that important for him to know now. At this moment, it was more important to clear out these giant mutated animals around him.

Lotus nodded and then looked around.

She needed to find that chocolate colored gem! She badly wanted the wood gem so that she would be able to grow stronger faster.

After clearing out of the forest, she finally found the gem in question. Looking at the beautiful gem in her hand, Lotus was inexplicably excited. There were only a limited number of these crystals and right now, most people who obtained them wouldn’t know how to use it.

But she had the memory of her past life, so Lotus was very clear about how to use this gem in her hand.

“So there’s another one.” Petra nodded when he saw the gem in Lotus’s hand.

“Yes, this is the wood element one, so I’m going to keep it.” Lotus looked at Petra and smiled sweetly. “I’m allowed to do that, right?”

“Yes, you can.” Petra also smiled.

.....

After they had cleaned up the forest outside, they entered the granary and saw that there were several giant mutated animals died on the ground. The wounds were either from spears attack or some slashes of sharp weapon. Some of the giant mutated animals corpses were intact though.

Most of them were rats here.

“Someone is already here before?” Petra narrowed his eyes and looked at the empty granary. There were only some broken grains left on the ground that seemed to have been attacked by these giant mutated animals.

“They might have been here because they’re attracted to these gems.” Lotus shook her head. “Anyway, there are still other granaries, so we might find more luck in the other granaries later.”

“You’re right.”

Petra took another look at these giant mutated animals corpses and sneered. The one who came here should be Kyle’s group, but they failed to notice that there were valuable gems on the ground.

Thankfully, he was of earth element and Lotus was of wood element.

That way, they could pick up what Kyle’s group had missed.

When they met again the future, Petra would make sure to make Kyle paid for all the suffering he had experienced in the past. He would make sure that he did his revenge beautifully and satisfyingly.

For now, it would be better to deal with these giant mutated animals outside, though.

...

While Petra was cleaning up the giant mutated animals around the area, Kyle and the others reached the second granary. Instead of a forest in front of the granary, there were countless giant mutated animals in front of the granary.

And most them were... rats.

Looking at these giant mutated rats, Kate shivered and hid inside Kyle’s jacket. She hated rats! Damn it! Why did she have to see these giant mutated rats, ah?

Jake laughed. “This is the first time I see a cat being so afraid of mouse aside from the cartoon I watched.”

Kate was speechless.

If you’re a small cat, would you not be afraid of these giant mutated rats? They looked like giants for her and Kate had no intention to go over and be trampled on their bottom just because it was possible.

No way in hell.

It would be better for her to just stay behind and stay far away from these giant mutated rats.

“Let’s clean them up.” Kyle waved his hand, stopping Jake from spouting more nonsense.

Jake laughed a bit before he focused on dealing with these giant mutated rats. Even though there were also other giant mutated animals around, they were not a match against the three of them as they easily cleaned up the area.

At the same time, they realized that these giant mutated animals were stronger than the other giant mutated animals they had encountered before.

“Most of these giant mutated animals are now rank 3.” Jake frowned. “How in the world did they rank up so fast?”

“The gems might have some help for them. There should be earth or wood gems here since their crystals are mostly yellow or chocolate.” Kyle was still paying attention to the crystals’ color when he dealt with these giant mutated animals.

“Seriously? It was the crystals we don’t need.” Jake sighed.

Dylan also nodded. He was hoping for them to find some blue colored crystals because they were more useful for him.

Kyle shook his head. “Anyway, let’s go inside the granary.”

This time, the granary was well protected. At the very least, there was no giant mutated animals inside. And Kate easily cleaned up the grains inside, which was not as much as the grains inside the first granary they went to.

“It’s done.” Jake stretched his hand. “Now go to the other one?”

“There are still three more granaries. They are all ordinary granary, but the content should be still a lot.” Kyle nodded.

They walked to the nearby hill and looked at the direction of the other three granaries. But looking at the scene from this distance, they knew that the other three groups were heading towards different granaries.

It seemed that they were all had tacitly agreed to not go towards the granary that other team was going to. Instead, they were going towards the other granary that no other team touched.

Since there were exactly three groups, they ended up heading towards different granary.

“So it seems that we’re here unnecessarily.” Jake laughed.

Kyle looked at the countless giant mutated animals around the granaries and shook his head. He could guess that there might be more of these gems in the granary areas, but they wouldn’t be able to get them under the eyes of so many people.

Besides, these two colored gems wouldn’t be so important to him.

‘But there are no forests or something like that around the other granaries. So only one granary is the special one.’

“Meow.”

Kate peeked her head out and saw white dots were approaching the other three groups from a distance. She blinked her eyes a few times before she could see a large number of giant mutated animals approaching.

Her blue eyes widened in surprise.

“MEOW!”

“What is it?” Kyle heard Kate’s scream and looked in the same direction as her. Upon seeing the large number of giant mutated animals... no, they should be called large giant mutated swarm, even he was stunned.

Who would expect that there would be a lot of these giant mutated animals approaching their direction?

“This...” Jake was stunned.

“Let’s go.” This time Kyle immediately patted Kate. “Motorcycles.”

“Meow!”

There were also several motorcycles inside Kate’s space, so she directly took them out. The three of them each took one motorcycles and then headed into the forest at the fastest speed possible.

As for facing those giant mutated animals?

That was not in their thought at all.

The number of those giant mutated animals could easily approach hundred thousand. Even if they had 100 more of the courage they had right now, they would definitely make the same choices.

They didn’t want to die yet.

“Why did so many giant mutated animals appeared?” Jake was so speechless as he rushed in the forest as fast as possible with the motorcycles.

“I don’t know.” Dylan was serious as he answered with three words.

Kyle shook his head but he could guess that these giant mutated animals might be attracted to the gems. He had taken one of them but because it was lightning element, it was not too attractive for these giant mutated animals.

But what if it was earth or wood elements?

These giant mutated animals they encountered so far produced either earth or wood element crystals.

So it could be said that these giant mutated animals were aiming towards the smell that attracted the most.

And someone among those three groups might have accidentally found the gem and took them. Because of that, these giant mutated animals were attracted.

It was just... their number was too outrageous.

While they were escaping, they could hear frantic sound of gunshots and bombing from behind them. It was unknown how many grenades were finally used in order to fend off these giant mutated animals.

In any case, it was not their business.

Using the motorcycles, they continued to traverse across the forest even when it was night time. Neither one of them thought about stopping.

That was because the sound of the fight was still behind them, which meant that the other three groups were also running away.

If they didn’t run, would they want to be the feast of these giant mutated animals?
