Dark Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 88 Cat Girl

Squeak!

With a sharp hiss, a plump gray ground squirrel staggered out of its burrow.

At the same time, thick, acrid smoke also billowed out!

Having breathed in the fresh air, the gray ground squirrel quickly regained some of its senses and darted off into the nearby bushes.

However, at that very instant, a sharp steel needle suddenly fell from the sky and pierced its head in an instant!

The gray ground squirrel died on the spot.

The next moment, Zhang Qing reached out and picked up the rat, which weighed about ten kilograms.

Gray ground squirrels are common small animals in the wilderness. They dig nests in the ground, creating long tunnels underground, and feed on plant roots and stems.

These ground squirrels can often be seen in the thousands of farmlands outside Luoshan.

Zhang Qing originally came here to hunt ferocious beasts, but unexpectedly discovered many gray ground squirrel burrows in this woodland near the mountains.

So he used smoke and fire to force out more than a dozen gray ground squirrels.

These gray ground squirrels may look ugly, but their meat is incredibly delicious, even better than beef or mutton, and smoked meat is especially exceptional.

So when I saw it, there was no reason for me to let it go!

After storing the gray ground squirrel he had just hunted in his storage bag, Zhang Qing looked around with lingering interest, hoping to find any undiscovered burrows.

These gray ground squirrels live in nests, sometimes forming large groups ranging from dozens to hundreds.

It was a pretty good prey.

Just then, Zhang Qing's heart stirred, and his gaze instantly turned to the right, to a grove of trees a few dozen steps away.

While dealing with the gray groundhogs, he remained vigilant, keeping his spiritual awareness constantly extended.

Zhang Qing had just sensed something unusual coming from that direction!

However, when Zhang Qing's gaze swept over, the bushes that had triggered his alertness remained completely still, as if it were merely his imagination.

A ferocious beast? An evil spirit?

Zhang Qing's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he raised his hand to conjure a fire crow burning with flames.

He suddenly waved his hand, and the newly formed fire crow immediately flew towards the thicket of trees, disappearing into it in an instant, creating a violent explosion.

boom!

With a deep boom, countless broken leaves and branches, along with sparks of fire, flew in all directions.

Meow~

The next moment, a figure darted out from behind the bushes, moving swiftly but with a hint of dishevelment.

Zhang Qing took a closer look and was immediately stunned.

He thought that what was lurking there was a ferocious beast or an evil creature, but he never expected that it was actually a demon!

This demon was small and exquisite, wearing a set of tight-fitting animal skin short armor, with his wheat-colored arms and thighs exposed, showing a bit of fierceness.

A round face, big eyes, a wet pink nose, pointed, furry ears, and a tail wagging from side to side behind it—

It was a beautiful catgirl!

Although Zhang Qing had seen many demons, this was the first time he had encountered a catgirl from an anime style, and it felt very unreal.

But the catgirl was enraged, baring her teeth at him and making gurgling sounds in her throat.

Zhang Qing noticed that she was also holding a short, sharp dagger in her hand!

But she seemed to sense the threat Zhang Qing posed to her, and a hint of hesitation appeared in her dark eyes.

But they didn't run away immediately.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing lost the will to make another move.

After all, this catgirl was only lurking in the shadows and spying on him, and did not take the initiative to attack, so she could not be considered an enemy.

Of course, the anime/manga spirit from my previous life also played a role.

After thinking for a moment, he made a gesture to the other party that symbolized peaceful coexistence.

As a result, the catgirl's anger and wariness lessened considerably, and she put down the dagger in her hand.

But she still didn't leave, looking unwillingly at the still-smoking rat hole on the ground, her throat making gurgling sounds.

Zhang Qing suddenly realized what was happening.

The catgirl had clearly also set her sights on this nest of ground squirrels, and might have discovered it even earlier than him.

However, Zhang Qingjie got there first.

Her resentment is understandable.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qing pulled a blood-soaked gray ground squirrel from his storage bag and tossed it over: "A share for everyone, here's one for you!"

""

Let's consider this a good deed!

The catgirl was startled at first and nimbly darted backward.

It wasn't until the groundhog's carcass hit the ground that she realized what had happened, wrinkling her nose in a suspicious look.

They didn't pick them up.

Zhang Qing didn't mind and waved to the other party.

Then, using his flying technique, he darted towards the camp.

He had made quite a few discoveries today, and although there was still some time before sunset, there was no need to continue exploring.

Only after Zhang Qing's figure disappeared into the distance did the catgirl cautiously step forward and pick up the gray ground squirrel.

She blinked her big eyes, looking somewhat confused, before turning to look in the direction Zhang Qing had left.

Meow~

The catgirl let out a soft meow, then darted into the nearby bushes with the gray groundhog's corpse in her arms.

The blades of grass swayed, then returned to calm after a moment.

When Zhang Qing returned to Canglang Village, it was getting dark.

However, Yingji Street was as lively as ever, with many shops even hanging lanterns at their entrances for illumination.

Such a scene cannot be seen in Qing'anji.

Zhang Qing found a butcher shop, talked to the owner, and then handed over all the spoils of the hunt to him for processing.

He can actually handle prey, but his skills are definitely not comparable to those of a professional.

Most importantly, it's dirty and smelly, and it's easy to get blood all over the place.

There's really no need to ruin yourself just to save a few dollars.

While the butcher and his assistants were processing the meat, Zhang Qing went to a nearby tavern and ordered a pot of rice wine, three catties of mutton, and two small dishes.

Indulge.

While eating and drinking, Zhang Qing did not forget to listen to the conversations of the diners around him.

In places like taverns, news travels very smoothly; you can hear all sorts of rumors, both true and false, and all kinds of gossip.

For example, a conflict broke out in a certain battalion, resulting in many deaths.

For example, a certain camp was attacked by an evil spirit, suffering heavy losses, and the outer city dispatched cultivators to suppress it.

What Zhang Qing heard most tonight was the Qingyun Meeting next month!

Although most of the cultivators present were not qualified to participate in this grand gathering of immortals.

But that didn't stop them from talking excitedly and passionately.

Some of these cultivators were also planning to let their children try it out, hoping they might achieve great success in one step.

Then someone mentioned several outstanding individuals who had recently emerged, believing they would take the top three positions in the Qingyun Society.

But some people disagreed, and they almost got into an argument.

Zhang Qing listened with great interest and gained a better understanding of the Qingyun Gathering.

He thought of the three Qingyun Tokens he had placed in his storage bag.

He felt the mutton in his mouth tasted even better!
