Chapter 109 Cat Demon (Second Update)
"What kind of thing is it?"
"It looks like a cat, just born, only two or three feet long, and the pattern hasn't grown yet..." Aunt Jiang said.
"Can you give it to me? I'll buy it with spirit stones!" Mo Hua said hurriedly.
Aunt Jiang waved her hand, "If you want it, I'll ask your uncle Chu to bring it to you tomorrow, and you don't need spirit stones."
Mo Hua insisted on giving spirit stones.
Aunt Jiang refused, "Sister Liu has helped me so much, and you also helped us draw formations. I can't take this spirit stone no matter what..."
People like Aunt Jiang who look introverted and shy are sometimes the most stubborn.
Mo Hua had to agree not to give spirit stones, but thought about talking to her mother to give Aunt Jiang more salary this month.
"But what do you want this monster for? Monsters can't be kept."
After a while, Aunt Jiang asked curiously again.
All monsters have a natural malice towards cultivators.
Some monsters eat meat, so they will hunt cultivators and devour their flesh and blood.
Even if some monsters don't eat meat, they will hunt monks who are weaker than themselves, cut open their stomachs, and then walk away.
Young monsters also have this nature, so they cannot be raised by monks.
Some monks in Tongxian City have raised monsters.
It's okay when monsters are young, they are weak and won't bite their masters. Once their wings are full, their bodies become stronger, and they taste human blood, they will take the opportunity to kill their masters and eat their flesh and blood.
Many monks are buried in the belly of monsters because they raise monsters as pets.
Jiang Yun thought Mo Hua was young and didn't know the nature of monsters, so she worried: "Raising monsters is very dangerous..."
"Aunt Jiang, don't worry, I'm not raising it." Mo Hua explained.
Jiang Yun nodded. Anyway, she would tell Mo Hua's parents when she brought the monster. Mo Shan is a monster hunter and is familiar with monsters, so there shouldn't be any problems.
The next day, Jiang Yun brought the cat demon.
This was the first time Mo Hua saw a young demon beast, and he couldn't help but look at it several times.
The cat demon was thin and small, with wrinkled fur. The pattern was mainly white, mixed with black patterns, but because of the mud on its body, the fur color looked very dull.
Although it was thin and small, the cat demon had sharp claws and two slender fangs on its mouth. Its eyes were alert, but also wild and fierce.
Last night, Mo Hua told his parents about the cat demon, so when Jiang Yun brought the cat demon today, Mo Shan stood aside.
The cat demon was locked in an iron cage, and there were scratches on the fence.
It seemed that because Mo Shan was a demon hunter and his hands were stained with too much blood of demon beasts, the cat demon only lowered its head despite its fierce eyes, and did not dare to act rashly.
Mo Shan frowned at the cat demon.
"Dad, what kind of demon beast is this? A cat?" Mo Hua asked.
"It's too young to be seen. Some monsters look very different when young and when they are adults, so it's hard to recognize them. But it looks like it should be a night cat or a fluorescent cat." Mo Shan said carefully.
"Is the cat monster one of the fastest monsters?"
Mo Shan nodded and said, "Yes, cat monsters are not very strong, but they are swift and treacherous, so they are more difficult to deal with."
Mo Shan took the cat monster in the iron cage to a wing room in his home.
This wing room was originally used to store sundries. Mo Hua said he wanted to use it, so Mo Shan temporarily vacated it.
Mo Hua told Mo Shan about his plan. He wanted to use the monster to practice his body skills.
Mo Shan had some concerns, but he still agreed.
The cat monster is young and not very strong, so it's just right to use it to practice body skills. Otherwise, if he faces an adult monster in the future, he may be buried in the monster's belly if he is not careful.
However, Mo Shan still warned: "Even young monsters have very tricky innate powers and are extremely cunning. Don't take it lightly."
"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, took out a few pieces of beef and threw them to the cat monster.
The cat monster looked at Mo Hua warily, sniffed the beef a few times, and then ate it voraciously.
Uncle Chu caught the cat monster, but he didn't feed it because he thought he would kill it sooner or later.
The cat monster looked better after eating the beef.
"Practice it first, I'll watch."
Mo Shan was still worried about Mo Hua's safety and said from the side.
Mo Hua gently opened the iron cage.
The moment the cage door opened, the cat monster, who had a weak breath, suddenly burst into fierce light in his eyes, and suddenly disappeared from Mo Hua's eyes. When he appeared again, a pair of sharp claws rushed straight to Mo Hua's eyes.
"Sure enough, cunning and fierce!"
Mo Hua was secretly surprised, but all this was still expected.
Mo Hua was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and his consciousness was different from that of ordinary people. The cat demon was young, and his strength was only at the early stage of the first level, so although his movements were ghostly and swift, in Mo Hua's consciousness, every move was clear and distinct.
Mo Hua raised his head and avoided the cat demon's claws.
The cat demon adjusted its posture while still in the air, and as soon as it landed, it rushed towards Mo Hua like a sharp arrow.
Mo Hua's eyes focused slightly, and he supported himself with his hands, and his body flipped lightly in the air, avoiding the cat demon under him again.
But then, the cat demon suddenly disappeared.
Mo Hua's pupils shrank slightly, and his consciousness was concentrated. After two breaths, he realized that there was a breath behind him.
Mo Hua dodged sideways, but he was still a little slow. Then a sharp claw drew a white light, tore Mo Hua's sleeves, and brought out a light streak of blood.
The cat demon landed, licked Mo Hua's blood on the claws, and his eyes were even more fierce.
"Looking for death!" Mo Shan shouted angrily, and clenched his right hand with flames burning, as if he was going to crush the cat demon to death.
"Dad!" Mo Hua hurriedly stopped him, "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing."
Mo Shan had raised his hand in the air, shook his head and said, "This evil beast has tasted human blood, it can't be kept."
"Dad, I'll just keep it for a month." Mo Hua insisted.
After all, young monsters are not easy to find. Generally, when a cultivator encounters a monster, whether it is young or adult, they will kill it directly.
Some monsters will even bite their own children to death to prevent their cubs from falling into the hands of cultivators.
Mo Shan frowned for a moment, looked at Mo Hua's firm eyes, sighed, and stopped his hand:
"Okay, then keep it for a month."
Then Mo Shan turned his head and looked at the cat demon, his eyes like swords, "But next time this cat demon hurts you again, I will just crush it to death."
The cat demon was frightened by Mo Shan's momentum, curled up in the corner, trembling.
Mo Hua heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Dad, don't worry, I was just careless just now."
Then, Mo Hua said to the cat demon: "Be good for this month and practice with me. After a month, I will let you go."
Mo Shan couldn't help but said: "Hua'er, the monster beast doesn't understand human language."
"What if it understands?"
"Okay..." Seeing Mo Hua's childish nature, Mo Shan didn't care.
"Wear the vine armor and be careful of the monster beast's demon power talent. Also, within this month, if the cat demon shows signs of greed for human blood or Chimu is out of control, you must kill it early."
Mo Shan instructed again.
Mo Hua listened carefully, remembered silently in his heart, and nodded repeatedly.
