I am creating a esoteric religion in London

Chapter 428 Goodbye General
In the dark forest, the twisted treetops create seamless shadows.

No moonlight could penetrate into the woodland.

The entire forest was plunged into absolute darkness, with the dark blackness everywhere so thick that it was difficult to distinguish a cat's paws. It was like flying into a pool filled with Chen Mo.

The ground beneath your feet is both loose and fragmented. From time to time, you'll step on rotten soil that's as fertile and loose as cotton, and intermittently crush some suspicious dead bones.

But even in such darkness, there is a shining light that refuses to give up the struggle!

It was a skinny cat that looked like it was made of molten gold, with a flame-like glow flowing on its smooth skin.

It's like a small and lovely sun walking in a dark forest.

That shining warmth made every gaze hidden deep in the shadows hungry.

Daiqisi turned her head and glanced at the place where she had just walked. The plum blossom footprints with a faint afterglow had quickly disappeared, as if some invisible and heartless strange monster was hidden in the deep darkness, waiting to greedily devour the fireworks left by its passage.

The petite cat remained silent and just continued to move forward towards the strange place.

Daiqisi lightly jumped over the thick and tangled roots, and when her burning flesh pads stepped on the roots of the ancient tree, strangely, there was no trace of burning left.

Even its sharp claws, which were so sharp that even steel could not resist them, could only leave a fleeting pale mark when it scratched the nearby tree.

Where exactly is this place?
How did I get here?
In Daiqisi's impression, the last scene it could still recall was that it leaped up and pounced on the two deformed tomb robbers, and then a mass of darkness suddenly appeared out of nowhere and submerged itself.

When I regained consciousness, I had already fallen into the dark forest.

As the weapon and group with the longest lifespan in the waking world except for the immortals, the secret knowledge accumulated in Daiqisi's head is as profound as a living walking library.

After a brief stupor, it quickly came to its senses and realized that it had most likely fallen into the trap of the deformed moth, falling into the desperate illusion created by the other.

"But do you expect such darkness alone to scare me?"

"I have torn apart a mothman that was close to transformation and ascension, and I have also participated in the containment and killing of the remaining shell species..."

"I have listened to the roar that resounded through my heart, but I still did not succumb to that alien emotion..."

"I once faced a young barber..."

"I used to..."

"I used to..."

"How could a mere dark forest disrupt my fighting spirit!!!"

The cat's heart engine beat vigorously, pumping out boiling blood to burn the cat's body. The cat possessed by the golden flame roared to the sky:
"Meow-"

The meowing sound, filled with savage power, resounded in the forest, but the shadows of the trees remained indifferent, the darkness was still sticky, and the remaining flames from the soil that had just been stepped on soon disappeared.

Daiqisi's roar didn't even frighten the inky darkness. The thick and sticky shadow was as solid as ice that had not melted for thousands of years. No matter how noisy the little golden cat with its fur standing on end made, the darkness remained unmoved.

"It actually has no effect..."

Daiqisi's two light cat-like eyebrows folded down, like a blade bent under force, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her molten golden cat eyes.

The sound of impotent and furious meowing was still echoing in the woods, but the crisp sound was gradually becoming hoarse as it kept echoing back and forth. Even the savagery and wildness in the words were gradually losing weight, as if the darkness had not only swallowed up the volume but also the power.

“Meow, meow…”

“Meow~~Meow~Woo~~~”

“Meow…Woo woo woo…”

The cat's roar continued to echo, and continued to go back and forth in the woods. It was as if countless similar cats were trapped in this dark forest. They heard their companions' calls and hurriedly responded with the same meow.
However, these constantly echoing meows were neither wild nor angry. They had even lost the will to fight, and their hoarse and exhausted sounds seemed to be struggling for help.

“Meow (help)——” “Woo woo meow (cry, save me)~~~~”

"Meow~Woo~~" (I, I'm so tired~ It's so dark here~~)

“Meow~ Meow~ Meow!!!” (I feel so bad~ I’m in so much pain, someone come save me~~ I can’t hold on any longer!!!)

Daiqisi suddenly arched her back, and every hair on her body stood on end!

These miserable echoes of wailing——all of them are its voice!!!
"What the hell is this moth doing?!"

Daiqisi's cat ears were pressed against her head. She no longer listened to her own wails and cries that echoed around her, but focused her attention on the road beneath her feet.

But those wails that seemed to come from different selves were more difficult to deal with than one could imagine. They ignored the drooping cat ears, went straight into its skull, and wandered around wantonly inside the skull!
It seemed as if countless desperate selves were whispering in my head - advising it to give up struggling, give up resisting, give up this meaningless fight. Instead of trying so hard to escape, why not just wait for the darkness to completely swallow us up?
It was as if countless collapsed selves were arguing in my head - we should walk up along the treetops to occupy a high position in the field of vision; we should look back, maybe the exit is hidden at the entrance;
we should……

we have to……

I believe it is possible...

"Shut up--it's so noisy!!!"

It roared suddenly, and the cat heart engine pumped out even more intense anger. This anger and brutality made its blood boil even more, rushing to its eyes and emitting sharp rays.

The sharp light in the dazzling golden pupils shot out like a sword blade, and the burning sword pierced into the deep darkness!

The forest shadows suddenly shook violently, and blazing flames burst into flames in the dark forest!

The gloomy darkness dissipated for a moment, and just this moment of brightness was enough for Daisy to find a glimmer of hope for a way out - she caught a glimpse of another faint light in the woods.

The fleeting light was like a flickering flame, but it also contained a familiar rhythm.

A flash of flame fell into the depths of Daiqisi's eyes, causing her heart to beat excitedly along with the rhythm of the swaying flame.

Such a powerful heartbeat... is very much like the sound of a furnace hammer hitting iron felt. In the fierce collision of muscle strength and steel, tiny sparks splash, and brutality and anger are forged in strength and heat.

That's the sound of the general's hammer!!!

The General did not give up on me, He came to greet me!!!

The fragile little kitty's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and the steel-forged cat heart engine became so soft at this moment that it seemed to have returned to its original flesh and blood form.

It chased the fleeting flame like crazy, and felt as if it had returned to its passionate youth, galloping across the land of Achaemenids, chasing the general's back.

Even though it accidentally got scratched on its back by an extremely sharp branch while running, it did not stop.

She didn't know how long she had been running, until Daiqisi's body was covered with wounds from the sharp branches. The scars were so deep that her golden bones could be seen.

But, it finally saw the general again!
The general stood next to the furnace, wielding the hammer in his hand, hitting the red-hot gold ingot again and again, hammering the hot gold into the shape of a lion.

The general is still so domineering and yet so gentle. He is both our father and our brother.

Tears could no longer be held back, and Dai Qi Si, with tears in her eyes, said: "General... I finally see you again!!!"

The general did not reply, but gently stroked the kitten's head, ran his hot fingers over its wounds, and gently raised the hammer, as if he wanted to repair those shocking wounds.

The hammer came down with a clang, hitting Daiqisi's back. She felt numb all over and almost fell asleep in comfort.

………………

Watson slowly pulled out the bone blade that was inserted between the third and fourth vertebrae of the ancient lion and shook off the hot blood.

"According to Brother Lion's teachings, this weapon now belongs to me!"
