Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 734 The Spying One-Eyed Cat
This thing is quite conspicuous; you can notice it if you pay a little attention.

The two exchanged a glance upon seeing this, and then walked over.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be... a fountain?
The pool's outline is constructed of black obsidian, with a strange statue standing at its edge that looks like a one-eyed cat.

The One-Eyed Cat Spying

[Description: The black, one-eyed cat is elegant and docile, possessing a hint of the power of the night. Through its eyes, one might glimpse certain things...]

[Petting the one-eyed cat to spy on it.]

A one-eyed cat spying?

Can you glimpse certain scenes? Gaze upon whom?
Why did the Long Night Trial place this thing here? What is its purpose?
A multitude of questions immediately popped into Li Miao's mind, and he couldn't help but squint.

In comparison, the reaction upon landing is much simpler.

"Wow, there's something rare here. This one-eyed cat is quite interesting. Let me touch it."

He casually walked ashore.

He had just died once, and although the effects of the Radiant Shattered Body were still somewhat present, they were practically negligible, so he was now completely unafraid of death.

Seeing this, Li Miao did not stop them.

He quickly placed his hand on the one-eyed cat's head after getting ashore, and the smooth texture surprised him.

Just as he was about to express his admiration, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in the black, one-eyed cat's eye, which turned blackish-purple. The blackish-purple power overflowed from its eye socket like mist and fell into the pool.

The pool quickly filled up, and the surrounding environment on the shore began to change, soon turning pitch black.

"Holy crap? What's going on?"

Once ashore, he couldn't help but withdraw his hand and look around. He tried calling out to Li Miao, but received no response, as if he had entered another independent space.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, the one-eyed cat by the pool moved. It blinked and then licked its paw.

"Holy crap, this cat's alive?"

Upon landing, he was startled and leaned back in surprise.

However, the one-eyed cat ignored him.

After stretching its stiff body, it crouched down again and lowered its single eye into the pool of water below, which was flowing with dark purple power.

Then, the pool began to show colors different from those of the night.

An endless universe appeared within it, with stars twinkling one after another. Suspended meteorites drifted by like rootless duckweed, and there were also some strange objects whose outlines could only be seen, seemingly some dead behemoths and long-collapsed buildings...

Those who came ashore were involuntarily drawn to it.

"This is……"

He paused for a moment, then his attention was quickly and involuntarily drawn to one of the objects.

It was a creature as large as a meteorite, looking somewhat like a four-legged creature, but without a head. Between its mineral-like scales were regular blood vessels, flowing with a rhythm as mysterious as the starry sky.

It's beautiful.

This phrase involuntarily came to mind as I reached the shore.

This is a magnificence that transcends species, and is truly captivating.

however.

A dent, resembling a wound, abruptly ends its beauty, as if the most vile parasite in the world were clinging to it.

A closer look reveals that this life is convulsing and undulating in pain.

Because, in that depression, countless tiny, eerie, and indescribable creatures were relentlessly gnawing at its body...

At the same time, the strange object in the center of the depression struggled in agony, but soon turned to ashes and disappeared...

Just as they came ashore to carefully observe the details, the one-eyed cat suddenly raised its head, looked at the shore with its deep single eye, opened its cat mouth, and uttered a voice like that of a young girl.

"Do you see... it is decaying in chaotic disorder. It can no longer be called life; it only brings destruction to the orderly land and sea."

"A shooting star is just an omen."

"As the flames of the long night burn, the world is shrouded in a long darkness. My power further reveals their mysteries to the world, but it also enables them to fall, inflicting hunger and destruction upon all living beings..."

"This is not what I wanted..."

"But please convey my apology to the world..."

The girl's voice, however, was apologetic.

"Perhaps, the future fire will provide a solution... Perhaps, the wheel of fate will truly turn as scheduled... Perhaps, she will return from her wandering life... Perhaps, if my brother were here..."

"But...sigh..."

A long sigh seemed to bury all the worries and sorrows within it, but in the end, the topic was not continued.

"I wonder what the world will become after I go out."

"Perhaps it is decay, perhaps it is chaos, perhaps it is deathly silence..."

"In any case, as long as there are still people who can hear it... then there are many useful things left in this divine realm."

"You, and countless others who follow, possess courage and wisdom as bright as a fire in the night, which is exactly what I look forward to seeing."

“I left Otis here so that you could glimpse… the stars.”

"Hopefully this will be helpful to you..."

As the conversation drew to a close, the one-eyed cat stopped opening its mouth and sat gracefully upright.

The power in the pool was waning, and the surrounding darkness was dissipating.

What appeared before them upon reaching the shore was Li Miao's large face, clad in a knight's helmet.

"Holy crap, what are you doing!" He jumped back two steps as he came ashore, his body trembling. "You scared the hell out of me!"

"Oh, you're out? I was just about to take a look..."

Li Miao looked at the empty pool and stroked his chin. He could only see the blurry outline of the shore turning blackish-purple, so he naturally didn't see the scene in the pool.

"What did you see?" Li Miao asked him curiously.

Upon hearing this, he quickly said, "You don't know, that cat just spoke, and it was a woman's voice..."

He told Li Miao what had just happened.

As Li Miao listened, he tried to pet the cat's head.

And the same thing happened again.

After a while, Li Miao returned to his original spot, seemingly lost in thought. Having listened to the one-eyed cat's words, he naturally didn't need to come ashore to explain the situation to him.

"What this one-eyed cat said... is probably a message from the Long Night's Flame."

This is not hard to notice. After all, in his previous words, Changye Xinhuo did not conceal his tone; he simply did not introduce himself. Anyone with a little common sense could tell.

And this one-eyed cat is clearly the "Otis" He was referring to.

However, judging from the current situation, this "Otis" probably has no self-awareness anymore. She didn't respond to Li Miao's questions and only showed some instincts.

Of course, compared to the message from Long Night's Flame, Otis the One-Eyed Cat seems rather insignificant.

The words of "Long Night Fire" revealed a lot of information.

First and foremost, of course, is the chaos of the starry sky and meteors.

After all, the boss of this trial is a falling meteor.

This is probably why the Night's Flame placed "Otis" with the message here instead of later.
