Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 370 – Cat Dad's Friends Bring More Friends

= Beast Forest =

A weretiger knelt in front of his mentor. He had already reported everything he knew about the Slave Dungeon and their resident area to everybody in the forest, and his mentor asked him to wait here while her subordinates gathered weak elders, children, and women to move to the dungeon first.

The beast queen, aka Jungwoo's mentor, stood under a massive tree in the center of the forest. She had white tiger ears, a tiger tail, trimmed white hair, and a gorgeous face that rivaled Final Fantasy Series' heroines.

The queen was Mao Xueyan. Her level was 9,999, the same as many others half-step deities in the universe. She was also one of Mao Miaomiao's concubines in her previous life.

Standing by her side was one of the seven calamity fiends, Mao Dandan, the Guardian Beast. Her level was the same as her elder sister, and she had been protecting the forest since she was reincarnated into this world.

Mao Dandan looked a lot different from her beautiful sister. She was two meters tall. Her toned muscle and refined six-packs were her best charm even though her pretty face was not inferior to her sister's.

Behind the two tigresses, the gigantic tree's human face smiled at Jungwoo. Unlike the Blood Tree on Cernun Island, this tree was considered the World Tree of the mainland continent, and it was sentient.

Ohuhuhohohu, the world tree, suddenly thought of someone. He questioned Jungwoo.

"By chance, is there an immortal by the name "Yuan Hua" among your allies?"

Jungwoo tilted his head in confusion. As he had never met Yuan Hua yet, he had no idea who she was. However, he remembered that people with the surname "Yuan" belonged to the fallen royal family of the Yuan Empire.

"Is she related to Emperor Yuan, senior Ohuhu?" Asked Jungwoo.

"They're brother and sister in their previous life. I think they are still siblings in this life, too."

"Ah, I see. Then, she might be roaming the mainland somewhere with her elder brother."

"Ah, shame. I thought I could see her again."

"You know her, senior?"

"Somewhat. Anyway, we've already wasted so much time waiting for those annoying sloths. Let's bring as many people as we can for now. We'll move the others when they're ready."

"Alright!"

Ohuhu shifted his gaze to the two sisters. He asked for their permission.

"May I bridge the dungeons now?"

Mao Xueyan frowned and glanced toward the north. She sensed the aura of her husband from afar, but the massive army of Solomon in Siren City and their aura blocked her Qi sense. She was slightly annoyed.

Meanwhile, Mao Dandan had some concerns. She was wary of Solomon's subordinates in this world and the ghost players.

"Will it be intercepted if we bridge our Beast Dungeon with the Slave Dungeon?"

Mao Xueyan pursed her lips, "Yes. I'm sure someone among Solomon's gang has the Dao of Void. Anybody with that Dao can intercept all teleportation and dimensional dungeon bridges."

"Aw, that sucks. Come to think of it, Meng Xin was here last month, but he didn't join the tournament. Do you think he will join Pangu?"

Upon mentioning Meng Xin, Mao Xueyan's expression turned dark. She hated the beggar guy.

When Meng Xin visited the Beast Forest, he challenged Mao Dandan to a duel to steal her calamity fiend title. Little that he knew that Mao Dandan had learned a lot from her husband, and the beggar was defeated in one move.

After the duel, Mao Dandan spared his life because of their connection in their previous life. However, after they nurtured Meng Xin back to health, he backstabbed them. He plundered several sacred fruits, treasures, and cultivation resources from the Beast Forest's treasure pavilion and escaped.

Angered by the betrayal, Mao Xueyan put a bounty on Meng Xin's head. Even now, she still thought of killing him with her own hands.

"Let him join Pangu. If he does, I'll butcher him myself!" Mao Xueyan cracked her knuckles as she couldn't suppress her anger anymore.

"But if he works for Pangu, his void power is going to be a thorn. He can freely access our dungeon and forest on a whim!"

"…"

Being reminded of Meng Xin's absurd power, everybody had a headache. They hesitated if they should connect their dungeons with the dimensional bridges.

A dimensional bridge was a pathway between pocket spaces of two dungeons. Slave Dungeon relied on pocket space to expand its floors and levels in the void. The same also applied to the local dungeons in the Beast Forest as Mao Xueyan and Mao Dandan were also the dungeon masters of the two local beast nests.

When the bridges connected between dungeons, their residents could visit, trade, travel, or migrate to another dungeon. Moreover, both pocket spaces would draw closer as the bridges remained. Eventually, both dungeons would permanently attach like how Slave Dungeon, Ant Nest, and Chang'e Sanctuary linked together.

But there was one problem. Any cultivator, immortal, or deity with Void Domain could jeopardize or destroy the bridges. They could also directly teleport into pocket spaces and infiltrate any dungeon in the void.

And Meng Xin was a void cultivator!

Mao Xueyan couldn't afford to risk her people in this project. She came up with another idea.

"Screw the bridge. Let's go there directly!"

Jungwoo, Mao Dandan, and Ohuhu were puzzled, "How? Walk there ourselves? Through the Solomon Army?"

"No."

Mao Xueyan took several deep breaths. She kicked the ground and flew up. Then, she clapped her hands.

RUMBLE

An earthquake struck the entire forest, and the ground slowly parted.

Jungwoo widened his eyes as he noticed that the cloud slowly descended upon him. He turned around and looked further toward the outside of the forest.

The others also noticed the strange phenomenon. Then, they understood why the clouds dropped to the ground.

The clouds remained in their places. It was their forest and the landmass that levitated higher in the sky!

Mao Dandan also jumped out and flew higher. Then, she saw how her elder sister pulled out the entire forest from the planet and made it fly on its own.

Mao Xueyan profusely sweated as the forest, dungeon, and landmass were too heavy for her to carry alone. She bitterly smiled at the tall tigress woman.

"Dandan, help me a bit. It's getting heavy."

"You are overdoing it, Xueyan!"

Mao Dandan pointed her palms at the landmass. Then, the weight got lighter, allowing Mao Xueyan to relax and rested her arms.

RUMBLE

As Ohuhu also noticed what Mao Xueyan did, his roots punctured through the bottom rocks and extended toward the ground. Five minutes later, the roots merged and turned into two massive long legs, which stood on the ground. Then, he slowly lifted his root foot and walked forward.

While Ohuhu walked, he looked up and scolded the two women.

"Next time, tell me what your idea is first! You know that I can simply carry the entire forest on my own, right? Also, you're welcome!"

"…"

Mao Dandan and Mao Xueyan looked at each other and giggled. They flew down and landed in front of the world tree.

"If you appreciate my help, do me a favor. I need water. A LOT OF WATER!"

Jungwoo and the two tigresses smiled. They summoned their Water Dao Avatar and converted their water element Qi into pure water, pouring it onto the tree.

Ohuhu savored the taste of water and hummed.

RUMBLE

Each step he took caused a massive earthquake on the planet. Ohuhu slightly turned left and directly walked toward the ocean, avoiding the army of Solomon in the north.

"We're going to swim a bit. Tell the beasts not to panic, especially the birds! If you're free, bring back those confused birdbrains!"

Reminded about birds, the immortals and Jungwoo looked toward the south and levitated in the sky. Then, they noticed that many bird monsters, birdmen, and harpies that weren't in the forest couldn't catch up to them. They were left behind on the ground in front of the crater of the landmass.

Jungwoo, Mao Dandan, and Mao Xueyan rushed toward the stragglers and manually carried them back to their "Walking Continent". It took them half a day to clean up the mess they made before all local beast folks got on the "Ship".

Ohuhu also kept track of the local population. Upon confirming that all birds and local monsters got on, he announced.

"Next station – Northern Archipelago! We're going to visit Cernun and his gang! By the way, I've just received a voice transmission from our old friend. He is coming to escort us there!"

"Who?" Mao Xueyan was curious.

"Your cheeky husband!"

"Oh?!"

.

.

HUMM

On the top of Mount Tian Yuan Pagoda, Ma Moxi watched how Ohuhu slowly used his root legs to walk and carry the entire beast forest toward the sea. He rubbed his chin, mimicking Mao Miaomiao's usual pose and giggling by himself.

"Dear, oh dear. They're leaving us behind."

Behind Ma Moxi was a refined fox lady with nine tails. Her long orange hair, fox ears, and her pretty face could smitten any mortal man, including Mao Miaomiao. Her strength was also on par with the Mao siblings, but she always kept a low profile due to her family's complications.

Ku'er, the Celestial Nine-Tailed Fox, Level 9999

The fox lady sighed and patted her round belly. It had been 30 weeks since Ma Moxi and Ku'er had created a new life.

"It's better this way. Otherwise, our baby might be in danger," Ku'er was glad that they didn't have to join the upcoming conflict.

"I feel bad for Miaomiao, though. We're supposed to help him when he needs it the most."

Ku'er gently kissed her husband's cheek, "If you're that worried, how about you go and join them."

Ma Maxi frowned, "What about you and the child?"

"We can manage. It's not like I'm alone here. I've already hired so many female players to help me taking care of the pagoda."

"…"

Ma Moxi was still reluctant. He gazed toward the north, and his far sight found the airship fleet of Hongjun around Yeet City's airspace. Then, he counted the number of immortals that came from W-2.

They kept on coming from the massive portal. At this rate, there might be over 20,000 immortals, and the dungeon might be overrun. Moreover, the gods and protagonists under Hongjun would join the battle. Mao Miaomiao alone wouldn't be able to fend off Hongjun and the plot-armor-cladded protagonists without other protagonists' help.

Only cultivators with a protagonist or antagonist class could kill another protagonist. That was the rule of this universe! But in this life, Ma Moxi no longer had that halo.

He complained, "I've seen so many scenarios like this in movies and stories. This is a death flag. If I go, I'll die."

"Death flags happen if you brag that you have a good wife and an unborn baby at home. As long as you don't flex, you'll be fine."

"Nah, I won't risk it. I'm not a protagonist anymore. My golden age is over. I'm going to stay here with you. As for the war, Mao Miaomiao can manage. He's this universe "Foil" for a reason."

"Hehehe, good choice!"

Ma Moxi kissed Ku'er and escorted her to the lower floor.
