Lolo's barren brain cells were working overtime. It wasn't until the big lion got up from the ground, standing there looking aggrieved like a frostbitten eggplant, that Lolo suddenly realized.
"What is this called? Playing the pig to eat the tiger? No, that's not right. Playing the cat to eat the lion? Also not right, the lion is originally a cat..."
Lolo felt a bit flustered and anxious—after all, the big lion was not only her "transportation," but also her bodyguard and nanny. Now that the big lion was gone, what was she supposed to do?
Panicking, Lolo’s six legs trembled uneasily, while the antennae on her forehead danced rapidly. After a while, Lolo deliberately showed her round head and pretended to make a fierce and menacing face.
She wanted to scare off the enemy with her appearance to save the big lion—after all, Lolo had played this trick before to frighten off foes.
I must say, Lolo's act, combined with her ugly appearance, was indeed quite intimidating.
Lolo succeeded; her lively body language successfully attracted the gaze of the Black Cat.
Those bright eyes seemed like two shining light bulbs, making Lolo feel a bit dizzy...
Then, the Black Cat spoke.
"What are you, a little ant, trying to show off to me?"
With a buzzing sound, Lolo felt the world turn upside down, and then she fell headfirst into the soft mane of the big lion.
"Come with me, quickly! If you can't keep up, there will be no dinner for you today."
Without looking back, the Black Cat said this and then strutted away quickly.
"What should we do? We're doomed..."
The big lion felt somewhat dejected, while Lolo comforted her, "Let's just follow for now; I think that cat is pretty good."
...
With the Black Cat leading the way, this time, the big lion and Lolo didn’t need to sneak around but followed behind the Black Cat in a confident manner.
"Lord Victor!"
"Lord Victor!"
Along the way, all the mutated beasts that encountered the Black Cat stopped in their tracks and slightly bowed their heads to greet her. Seeing this, the big lion’s head drooped even lower.
Although he didn't know who "Lord Victor" was, he could tell from the respectful and even fearful looks of the passing mutated beasts that the little Black Cat leading the way had a frighteningly significant identity...
On the contrary, Lolo didn’t feel fearful at all; she quietly poked her head out from the mane, her eyes fixed on the "majestic and domineering" Black Cat.
"She really looks impressive... If I could be like her, I probably wouldn't go hungry anymore..."
Her antennae swayed in the wind, and a strange emotion filled Lolo's heart. Her eyes grew brighter: "I definitely wouldn't go hungry anymore! Maybe I could even make the big lion full."
...
In the distance, the towering city walls and various defensive structures became clearer. Perhaps the journey had been a bit dull, so the Black Cat gradually slowed down to walk alongside the big lion.
"Up ahead is our New Hope Gathering Place. This gathering place is centered around the original human race's hope gathering place, combined with three nearby mutated beast forces, and it was formed under the leadership of the lord of sequence two. This means that this gathering place is now under the protection of the lord of sequence two!"
"So here, you don’t need to worry about your safety for the time being. Remember, this is only temporary!"
Communication among the mutated beasts was more direct; there was no beating around the bush, and Victor directly revealed the facts.
"When the demonic clan's army comes, they will inevitably target our New Hope Gathering Place first. Therefore, this gathering place is not just the responsibility of the lord of sequence two, but of all of us!"
"Once the New Hope Gathering Place was established, the death-crier clan from Phoenix Mountain actively spread the news, attracting nearby mutated beast groups. As the news spread wider, eventually all the mutated beasts on the African continent learned about it. Right now, countless mutated beasts are coming to join us every minute. This means that the New Hope Gathering Place will definitely be the last bastion for the surviving life forms on the African continent!"
