Chapter 32 Cat

At the port, huge ships were moored on the shore, and many sailors and workers came and went. The team transporting goods was connected into long black lines like ants carrying candy. Seagulls and wild cats were interspersed in this lively scene, waiting for people to drop abandoned fishing catches.

In an open space near the port, many people set up stalls and sold fresh harvests on the spot. In addition to large-scale fishing boats, many residents also drove small boats to catch seafood. Although the harvest is not as good as large boats, it is enough to maintain their lives.

After a few discussions, the players decided to go to the open-air market to inquire about the situation - as long as you show your willingness to buy goods, it is always easier for the bosses who are enthusiastic about to inquire about news than strangers on the roadside.

They carried too much adventure equipment and were not suitable for traveling through the crowded market. So Yu Yueming and the strong man Shen Yongliang were left to visit the guard's luggage, and the others went to inquire about the news.

Yu Yueming squatted beside his luggage bored, turned his ears, and with the help of his outstanding listening, he focused on listening to the movements of his companions who were inquiring about the news.

Seeing the players coming, the stall owners of the small market smelled the breath of business and greeted them enthusiastically. But after the players mentioned "the cave on the coast", they immediately disappeared, and their intention to avoid the topic was very obvious.

Finally, an old man spoke.

"Travelers. Are you also coming for the rumors of the treasure of that cave?"

"Yes." Lu Songyan quickly replied, "Do you know something?"

The old man took a deep breath of his pipe and let out a long breath.

"It depends on what you are asking. If you just talk about the information about the cave itself, then of course I know. If you want to ask how to find the treasure and what the treasures are, then give up.

"Every inhabitant here knows the location of the cave and the legend of the treasure. Because we have been told since childhood that it is a trap for the demon and a forbidden place that we must never step into.

"The rumors of the treasure have been circulating for hundreds of years. When the rumors first spread, many young people in our town were tempted to go on an adventure, but in the end, none of them appeared again. The parents who lost their children stepped into the cave in grief and wanted to find their relatives, and then they were also swallowed by the cave together.

"Since then, everyone in our town has understood. It was an ominous cave, a pathway to hell.

"But travelers like you still come to explore in a constant stream. They often get warnings from us, but only a few choose to retreat. So those brave and reckless people disappeared forever in that curse land.

"I don't know if you are willing to listen to my advice. You are still young, and that vague rumor is not worthy of your life."

Listening to the old man's heartfelt advice, Yu Yueming pressed his ears.

This is really a very reasonable advice. The other party can choose to persuade others instead of taking the opportunity to do business and make money, and it is indeed a kind intention. However, they are subject to the task and cannot go.

Lu Songyan thanked the old man for his reminder, and at the same time he vaguely expressed his helplessness in his group, and had to go to the cave to search for treasure. At the same time, he asked: "You said that the young people in this town went to search for treasure after hearing the rumors, that is to say, didn't the rumor of that treasure exist from the beginning?"

"No. That was before I was born, and I don't know the details. It is said that the rumor was brought by an outsider."

Other players also asked a few questions, but that was originally a matter of hundreds of years ago, and basically the people involved were missing in the cave. No one remembered the origin of the rumors.

But what is certain is that regardless of whether the rumors about the treasure are true or not, there are indeed many strange things in that cave.

Yu Yueming was fascinated by the sound of hearing this, but suddenly felt something furry was rubbing through his feet.

He looked back in confusion and found that several cats were gathering not far away from him, and was looking at him curiously.

Thinking that he was blocking the cat's path, Yu Yueming carefully moved a little away and lay down to reduce the threat he brought to them in terms of his body shape.

However, his action seemed to give a wrong signal. The cats seemed to quickly eliminate him from the "dangerous creatures" column and ran to him openly. Some of them were brave enough to climb onto his back, and they drifted into a ball and fell asleep.

Yu Yueming:???

Things were very sudden, why did he have a cat on his body?

He didn't have such a good animal relationship before? Moreover, aren't these cats afraid of dogs?

Yu Yueming, who was surrounded in the middle, dared not move. Fortunately, the cat group seemed to just treat him as a kind and warm big blanket. Although many cats were attracted by their companions' behavior, they just lie gently beside him without any movement.

Seeing that the player who was going to inquire about the news had not yet come back, Yu Yueming rested his head on his front paws and blurted out casually with a sentence.

"Cat. Do you know about that seaside cave?"

After asking, he immediately felt that his behavior was a bit stupid. Why was he so bored that he started talking to the cat?

The cats who heard the question looked at each other, probably because they didn't understand why the big dog next to them suddenly made a scream.

After a while, a three-cao cat with gray and haggard hair squatting on the stone pier beside it made a gentle tits.

Its voice was soft and soft, as if an elderly old lady was whispering kindly to her grandchildren. It screamed in this kind of tone for a while, narrowed her eyes and snored her gentle snoring.

Of course Yu Yueming couldn't understand the cat's words, but the purring of the three-cake cat gave people a sense of calmness. He couldn't help but tremble his ears relaxedly and gently shook his tail twice.

The cats shouted very actively, and new cats joined in from time to time, with sounds one after another, like a lively seminar.

Yu Yueming and the cat watched each other for a while. The exploration of other players came to an end and they rushed here one after another.

Hearing the footsteps of strangers, the cat group pricked up their ears alertly and ran away in an instant.

At this time, Yu Yueming noticed that in the place where the cats had gathered, there was a piece of cloth wrapped in something remaining.

Did you have this thing just now? Yu Yueming curiously used his front paw to tug the fabric.

The fabric dissipated, and a strong fishy smell came to my nose in an instant.

It smells so bad! Yu Yueming instantly burst into pieces with the ears of the plane, and his nose was wrinkled tightly into a ball.

What is revealed in the fabric is a small piece of pleated leather-like object.

It emits a rotten smell, a fishy smell, and all kinds of disgusting smells that he cannot name. It really ruined his nose. If it weren't for the guard's luggage that could not be left, he would have turned around and ran away immediately!

"What's wrong?"

The player returning to the team looked at Yu Yueming's extreme reaction and asked curiously.

Seeing that they had returned, Yu Yueming hurriedly ran away a few meters and asked back.

"Can't you smell it?"

Looking at the puzzled expressions of everyone, he was about to point to the weird leather, but he found that when he turned around, the leather and fabric on the ground had disappeared.
