Chapter 333 – Cat Dad Encounter New Native Monsters
After waking up James and feeding him enough blood, Xiaomao and the group inspected Cardachion next.
The pretty angel was still unconscious. Unlike James, her level was under the 400s tier, which was now too weak in Xiaomao's standard. Even so, James couldn't stop grinning while he admired the sleeping face of the girl.
"You're a sinner, munya. How could you abduct a player to be your wife? Do you know how distasteful you did to her?"
"M-Master, I know I was wrong, but she's the one!"
Xiaomao pursed his lips as he understood why James went mad over the player. Indeed, Cardachion was one of the peerless beauties that Xiaomao had ever seen. With her lewd outfit, gold trinkets, and tattoos, it wasn't strange that James got smitten.
Although James had a personal need, Xiaomao couldn't afford to bless him with everything. Cardachion was an outsider, so she couldn't simply join their family without passing Xiaomao's test.
"She's an outsider. She can't be trusted, munya. What if she compromises our dungeon?"
"Then, I'll elope with her somewhere outside the dungeon. We won't come here again!"
Xiaomao shook his head. Although the idea wasn't bad, James' life was at risk here. As Xiaomao had many enemies, James would be vulnerable to his enemies if he lived alone in the game world without the dungeon's protection.
"I have an idea, munya."
Since James was stubborn, Xiaomao gave him a choice.
"You have two choices, munya – The easy way or a hard way. The easy way is simple. I'll use my Dao Avatar's domain ability on her, and I'll enslave her, munya. With that, she will follow all my instructions, and I'll order her to be your mate."
"E-Enslave?"
James hesitated. He didn't know about Xiaomao's domain abilities, and he didn't like the name of the skill.
"Will she lose her free will, master?"
Xiaomao shrugged, "She might end up falling in love with me and will do anything to please me, though, munya."
"No! Please don't! What about the other choice, master?"
Xiaomao narrowed his eyes and gave James a meaningful look, "You're a vampire, so you should have the ability to turn someone into your kin. Instead of asking for my help, you should be the one ENSLAVING her, munya."
"…"
James' face was ashen. Once again, he didn't like the forceful method.
"I'm going to leave her with you. Until you solve your issues, you aren't permitted to leave this dungeon floor, munya."
James bit his lower lips and bowed.
Xiaomao sighed and left James and Cardachion alone. From now on, it was his problem.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt.
After leaving James, Xiaomao thought of his next destination. He looked at the dungeon map, hoping to get a clue where he should inspect next.
While Xiaomao was checking the mini-map, blinking blue spots randomly appeared on the B1 floor. It attracted Xiaomao's attention.
"What's the blinking dots, munya?"
Unfortunately, Undine and Nymph couldn't see Xiaomao's dungeon management menu. They shook their head, "I don't know. We can only access a dungeon map system on a console. What are blinking dots, by the way?"
"In my mini-map, the dots show up on the B1 floor, munya."
"Then, let's go check it out."
Xiaomao nodded and marked the places with blue dots. Then, he searched for the nearest teleportation platform or magic circle in the area.
He totally forgot about Lucky. The mermaids also forgot about her.
.
.
= B1 Floor, Manila Room =
WHOOSH
The teleportation magic circle directly sent the trio to the manila room, where Joan and her squadron had once visited.
As soon as Xiaomao and the mermaids showed up, the grey mannequins in the operator room opened the secret doors and came out to greet them. They bowed and spoke in their language.
"Bad!"
"Bad-Bad!"
Despite the strange language, Xiaomao, Undine, and Nymph understood them. They simply came out to say hi to their masters.
"Keep on doing what you were doing, munya. We're just taking a stroll."
"Bad!"
The mercury-color girls returned to their duties. However, several strange automatons ran toward them before they stopped and formed ranks.
A squad of 20 level-1500 mannequins stood in lines and columns. They crossed their arms behind their back, waiting for instructions.
Xiaomao raised his brows and looked at the new units. Then, he turned to Undine, "Did Meowmeow create these?"
Undine wryly smiled and looked at the silicon mannequins. Fortunately, they all wore proper uniforms. The one-piece long-sleeve tight suit underneath their black leather armor stood out. Because of their outfit, nobody could tell that they initially looked like adult toys when they were born.
"It's Gata's work. She turned some immortals into those girls. I think they serve directly under Joan."
"Speaking of Joan, how does she become one of us, munya?"
"Gata defeated her during the siege."
"… Wow."
Xiaomao was impressed. When he fought Joan in the tournament, her strength was capped at level 999. Because Xiaomao managed to catch her off-guard, he managed to defeat her with some difficulties.
But in this case, Joan came here to attack the dungeon with her full strength, yet Gata defeated her. It piqued Xiaomao's interest.
"How strong was Joan when she attacked this place, munya?"
"37-star constellation immortal. About level 3700."
"Yikes!"
"Gata is level 4,000, and she's a stellar star constellation immortal. The strength gap was huge, so she single-handedly owned her. I wish you could see her fight. It was one-sided."
Xiaomao rubbed his chin and nodded. Now, he understood why Gata was promoted to the floor guardian position.
At the same time, Xiaomao was depressed. Meowmeow suddenly created several immortals out of nowhere, but he had to work hard to earn his strength.
"Life is not yatta anymore, munya."
Xiaomao sulked, jealous of Gata's strength and talent.
Seeing how immature Xiaomao was, Nymph giggled and hugged his arm, "Don't sulk, hubby. How about we quickly finish our patrol and go somewhere secluded. We haven't properly dual-cultivate yet, do we?"
"…"
Influenced by Nymph's openness, Xiaomao got bolder. He slipped his hand into Nymph's tube tank, "You lewd mermaid! Didn't Undine bonk you enough? Want me to BONK you with my stick, munya?!"
"Yes, please!"
"…"
Xiaomao squeezed it, and Nymph moaned. Although he wanted to push the mermaid onto the top of the table and do her on the spot, he restrained his urge as the immortal squad was watching them.
"Ahem!"
Xiaomao coughed and pulled his hand out. Nymph pouted and adjusted her cloth before she slapped Xiaomao's butt for revenge.
"Let's go check the blue dots, munya! The squad over there. Come with us, munya."
The squad of 20 immortals saluted and marched along with Xiaomao.
.
Following the GPS path, Xiaomao's group found a dead end. It was a small yellowish room with sticky brown liquid, tangling the ground, the floor, and the cieling like spider webs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGetting stuck in the spider webs were remains of the previous intruders. The withered corpses of three players were glued in the spider web fluid.
Xiaomao inspected the webbed brown liquid. He crouched and poked it with his fingertip.
The webbed liquid wiggled as if it was alive. Then, they merged and transformed into a black humanoid silhouette. It turned to Xiaomao and started screaming like a crying elephant.
Xiaomao patiently stood up and looked at the name of the creature.
Bacteria, Level 400
Xiaomao pointed at the slime-like creature, "Did Meowmeow create this, too?"
Nymph shook her head, "No. This is my first time seeing this thing."
"Oh, so is it an intruder?"
"Err, I don't think so. I think it was born from the corpses…"
While they chatted, the slime monster threw a punch at Xiaomao.
Without looking, Xiaomao caught the fist with his left hand. His aura flowed into the brown fluid and instantly shattered the core of the creature.
The humanoid slime collapsed to the ground as if they were a liquid mass, falling down due to gravity.
DING
<You have killed Bacteria, Level 400.>
"Aw, I thought you were gonna capture it for an experiment," Nymph pouted.
"That was unintentional. It was too weak, munya!"
Xiaomao got used to combat with strong opponents. The aura intrusion technique was one of the skills that he learned from Wei Feng and Wei Xiong, who always used it on Xiaomao whenever they touched him. He didn't expect that the monster would be so fragile that it died because of a simple technique.
"You've grown a lot stronger, Xiaomao," Undine was impressed by Xiaomao's techniques.
She thought of her past. When her cultivation level was at Xiaomao's stage, she couldn't kill a level-400 monster in one hit like him, but he did it so casually.
"Meh, that was nothing. Let's go see other blue dots, munya. I think there are 30 more around the area."
Xiaomao instantly figured out what the blue dots in his mini-map indicated. It seemed that the map warned him about the emergence of native monsters, who grew up naturally from the environment.
.
.
Two hours later, Xiaomao, Undine, Nymph, and the following immortal squad encountered 10 similar slimes. They were hostile to them, so they accidentally killed most of the monsters.
Fortunately, Undine was capable enough to capture one of the monsters.
Xiaomao inspected the [Bacteria], which seemed to be born from players' corpses in the dungeon.
"What am I going to do with you, munya?"
