Chapter 399 Complete Form
[Hey, look at your feet.]
The system's voice suddenly rang in Lin Xiyue's mind, like a thunderclap, making her already tense nerves even more strained.
Huh? What? Underfoot?! ヽ(゜Q。)ノ?
Lin Xiyue's heart tightened suddenly, and her body froze completely, not daring to make the slightest movement.
She stared wide-eyed at her feet in disbelief, wondering what terrible thing she might discover.
When she finally mustered the courage to lower her head, the sight before her stunned her.
A huge cat paw appeared at her feet; the paw was furry, and the black paw pads were particularly striking.
What's even more surprising is that the cat's paw is held flat upwards, as if it's preparing to support itself.
This cat paw is so cute! Every single hair looks so soft, making you want to touch it.
Moreover, it tucked its paws in, making the entire paw look like a fluffy little ball.
However, Lin Xiyue couldn't feel any cuteness from it. The cat's paw was simply too big, so big that she even found it somewhat frightening.
If she were to fold her wings now, she could probably stand completely on this claw.
Faced with such a huge cat paw, Lin Xiyue felt a surge of intense fear. She felt like a tiny insect, completely powerless to resist this enormous creature.
! ! !っ?Д?)っ
Lin Xiyue was startled by the sight before her and involuntarily took a step back.
However, just as she stepped back, she suddenly felt as if her waist had touched something.
It was a peculiar sensation, wet and bouncy, with a temperature slightly higher than body temperature.
This strange feeling made Lin Xiyue's heart race. She subconsciously looked down, trying to figure out what had touched her.
When her gaze fell on her waist, she was surprised to find that a tentacle was arching its back, supporting her firmly, as if to prevent her from leaving the range of the cat's paws.
The surface of this tentacle was an eerie black, blending seamlessly with the surrounding black mist. If it weren't for its distinct tactile sensation, Lin Xiyue would probably have had a hard time noticing its existence.
Lin Xiyue's gaze followed the tentacle downwards, only to find it winding and twisting through the black mist, seemingly without end. Deep within the black mist, faint green lines appeared, replacing Lin Xiyue's gaze and clearly outlining the tentacle's shape within the mist.
These green lines, like veins, crisscrossed and spread within the black mist, intertwining with other tentacles. Occasionally, other tentacles would sweep across this one, weaving through the black mist as if forming a vast network of tentacles.
Lin Xiyue's gaze continued downwards, finally landing on the ground.
However, when she saw the scene on the ground, a sense of fear welled up inside her.
The ground was covered with countless tentacles, so many that they were almost indistinguishable from one another. These tentacles intertwined and wriggled, creating an extremely dense feeling that could even trigger trypophobia.
The source of all these tentacles is the strange cat in front of and under Lin Xiyue's feet.
The cat's body was shrouded in black mist, obscuring its true appearance. However, the tentacles extending from its body in the images scanned by the system indicated that it was no ordinary cat.
Its upper body looks no different from that of an ordinary cat. However, when you look at its lower body, countless overlapping tentacles are tangled together like a tangled mess, densely packed and crowded together, as if they are engaged in some kind of mysterious activity.
Lin Xiyue stared at the sketched image, a feeling of déjà vu welling up in her heart.
She felt that she should be familiar with this image, but no matter how hard she tried to recall, the name was like a fishbone stuck in her throat, and she just couldn't say it.
"He seems... somewhat familiar..."
Lin Xiyue muttered to herself, her brows furrowing slightly, looking somewhat troubled.
The system nearby heard her mutterings and also glanced curiously at the strange figure.
[Now that you mention it, it does look familiar. Let me check my database.]
Similarly, the system also felt that the image looked somewhat familiar, so it spoke after a moment of silence.
Having said that, the system quickly launched a search program, beginning to compare the image with its massive database. Time ticked by, and the system's search speed was extremely fast, scanning a vast amount of data in the blink of an eye.
"Found him! He's Boss Mo!"
Suddenly, the system let out a gasp.
"He is Meros!"
Almost simultaneously, Lin Xiyue seemed to suddenly remember something and blurted it out.
[Yes, it's Boss Mo, but when we saw him like this before, his upper body was still human! However, we've also seen his cat form, so after combining the information, the probability of it being him is almost 98.89%.]
Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's words, the system's program quickly started running and began to analyze the situation for her.
"Yes, I know, I felt it."
Lin Xiyue nodded and said with great certainty.
At the same time, Lin Xiyue slowly descended and folded her wings.
Her body landed lightly on the cat's paw, like an elegant butterfly.
The moment Lin Xiyue stepped onto the cat's paw, she clearly felt its reaction. When her foot landed, the paw trembled slightly, a subtle change that Lin Xiyue did not miss.
"Meros, is that you?"
Lin Xiyue asked softly, her voice revealing a hint of expectation and tenderness.
She crouched down and carefully stroked the soft paw pads under her feet, feeling their gentle touch. The cat's paw twitched again at her touch, as if in response.
Lin Xiyue's heart started racing; she felt that the tremor might be Meros communicating with her.
“Meros, if you can hear me, shake again.”
She continued softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the cat's paw twitched again, which brought a joyful smile to Lin Xiyue's face.
"Thank goodness, I'm so glad you're alright. I was so worried because I couldn't see how you were doing. Could you show me what you look like now?"
Lin Xiyue's voice revealed a hint of urgency and worry.
She waited quietly for his response, silently praying that Meros would grant her request. Time seemed to freeze at that moment, with only the soft sound of his breathing echoing in the air.
