shock!Empress Dowager

Chapter 18 Is the cat cheating, or is the tiger cheating?
"Well, I see, we will definitely be careful!"

The Gu family siblings solemnly assured Shi Miao at the same time.

The three of them quickly took care of the dry branches, bamboo and vines, and walked towards the forest step by step in the oppressive weather.

There are a lot of materials in the mountains and forests, and there are naturally many herbs. Gu Ao has never stopped smiling since he entered the forest. He carefully picked all the herbs and wild vegetables and stuffed them into bamboo baskets.

As for Gu Tianjiao, when she saw her younger brother so excited and selfless, she didn't disturb Gu Ao's interest, but just carefully looked around.

As for Shi Miao, she deliberately walked four or five meters in front of the two of them, not too far away, so as not to miss Gu Tianjiao and Gu Ao's siblings in case of any emergency.

They were the first to reach the first trap, only to see that the grass covered yesterday had sunk.

Shi Miao cautiously approached the trap step by step, but there was nothing inside, her brows were slightly frowned.

There was no blood on the lower bamboo tips, which meant that the animals that fell were small and able to climb out of the trap.

"Shi Miao, how is it going, is there any gain?"

Gu Tianjiao and Gu Ao also walked over while Shi Miao stopped.

"No, the first trap should be an animal that entered the snake and rat."

Shi Miao shook her head lightly.

But she wasn't discouraged either.

The purpose of making seven or eight traps is to catch big cats and stifle unknown crises in their cradles.

As for other animals, they are lucky if they can meet them, and there is nothing they can do if they don't.

In the following five or six consecutive traps, it was not completely fruitless. In one of the traps, a grass snake with a thick wrist and more than one meter long was trapped. blood rabbit.

Naturally, Shi Miao was not polite, and threw the grass snake with its head removed and the dead rabbit into the bamboo basket on Gu Ao's back.

"Shi Miao, there is one last trap left, it looks like we have failed."

There was also a trace of disappointment in Gu Tianjiao's eyes.

The traps they worked so hard to dig only yielded a meatless snake and a rabbit, which really didn't match the labor.

"Don't be discouraged, one day we will kill..."

Shi Miao spoke very calmly, and just halfway through her words, a low sob sounded beside her ears.

"Shh!"

Shi Miao hurriedly gestured to the siblings.

"You two wait here for me. I'll go over and see. If the big cat is really caught, maybe it still has the strength to escape. You stand here and wait for the changes. If a big cat really jumps out, Tianjiao will hug it." Let Gu Ao run quickly, I should be able to get rid of it by myself."

"it is good."

Gu Tianjiao and Gu Ao suddenly stopped and nodded softly.

Obviously, they also heard a very faint whimper.

Afterwards, Shi Miao carefully walked towards the trap step by step. With each step, Gu Tianjiao and Gu Ao couldn't help feeling more nervous in their hearts.

When he was less than two meters away from the trap, Shi Miao's heart tightened uncontrollably when he heard the familiar but weak roar.

She held the dagger tightly in her hand, ready to fight with something after it jumped out at any time.

"Master, you... don't be nervous, there is no danger, you can go over and have a look."

Sensing Shi Miao's aggravated breath, Hai Wang Hao, who had been silent all this time, spoke in a somewhat complicated tone.

Hearing the strange words of the Sea King, Shi Miao was a little confused.

No danger?

But Neptune's words gave Shi Miao a sedative, and she calmed down a little and approached the trap.

When she saw the roaring sound that frightened her several times from the mouth of the small figure inside, she couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth.

"This... is okay?"

There is no big cat in the trap, only a yellow and white civet cat, the cat is very fat, the size of a juvenile big cat, its leg was stabbed by the bamboo tip, there is a tuft of cat hair on the bamboo tip, its back There was a cut on his back, and because he bled a lot, he whimpered weakly at this moment.

Shi Miao felt that her brain circuit could not keep up, was it because her memory was messed up?

Don't cats meow?How can a big cat growl?
Did the cat get off the rails, or did the tiger split the leg?
Thinking that Yuanshen was scared to death by such a thing, she couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved for Yuanshen.

Seeing Shi Miao standing in front of the trap without moving for a long time, she felt that there should be no danger, so Gu Tianjiao carefully leaned towards Shi Miao in her arms.

"Shi Miao, what's the matter? Did you catch the big cat?"

"Come and see for yourself."

Shi Miao's eyes were full of words.

Her majestic Empress Dowager Chu had never seen such a storm before, but she was quite frightened by such a mutated thing.

"what?"

Gu Tianjiao put Gu Ao down and saw the civet cat in the trap.

After the civet cat noticed three strange auras around it, it immediately bared its teeth and growled, its eyes full of alertness.

"Ah! Shi Miao, we actually hunted a tiger! But it is so small, it should be a tiger's cub? Will we be retaliated against if we hurt a tiger's cub?"

Hearing the terrifying roar, Gu Tianjiao, who had never seen a tiger or a cat before, was so frightened that she quickly took two steps back.

"It's not a tiger, it's just an ordinary civet cat, but for some reason it roars like a tiger."

Shi Miao couldn't explain in words like the two of them.

"The civet cat?"

Gu Ao and Gu Tianjiao looked at each other, looked at Shi Miao's face full of disbelief and said in unison.

"It's hard to understand, isn't it? I also can't figure it out. But this place is not the same place as Aquamarine, and it's not incomprehensible for animals to mutate."

Shi Miao finally digested this fact.

Civet cats are better than big cats. There are only civet cats in the forest, which means they are safe, and there is no need to worry about going to the forest in the future.

"I remember that many books say that cats meow. I didn't expect the cats here to meow like that. Could it be that the tiger is meowing?"

Gu Ao also felt that Shi Miao's statement made sense, and looked at the civet cat in the trap, thinking a little bit divergently.

"Maybe, who knows. Since it's a raccoon cat, let's rescue it and let it go. It's important for us to hurry up and collect food."

Shi Miao looked at the civet cat in the trap, frowned and said softly, there was no such roaring civet cat in the book before, but when thinking of this, Shi Miao felt a sudden shaking in his mind, and there was an extra copy in his mind. New illustrated book.

[Mutated civet cat: It can roar like a tiger, other abilities and preferences are unknown. 】

"Dear master, you have discovered a new mutated species on this planet, and you have perfected our survival book, the system will reward you with [-] points."

The voice of Neptune rang in Shi Miao's mind again.

"Anything like this?"

Shi Miao's brows widened immediately, and even the eyes that looked at the trapped civet cat softened.

She also raised cats in the palace before, and cats were used to catch mice, so she really couldn't get enough of cat meat, and now she even gave her [-] points, which was worth it.

"Sister Shi Miao, do you want me to bandage it?"

Gu Ao looked at the fierce look of the little guy in the trap, he wasn't cute at all, and naturally he didn't have any pity in his heart.

"No need, this little thing is a bit fierce, you continue to do what you should do nearby, just leave me some anti-inflammatory drugs and gauze, and I will bandage it."
