Chapter 54 I can never coexist with mice!
In the presidential suite of the hotel, the conversation between Luke and catgirl Penny continues.
Luke also knew the other party's main purpose for coming to Fort Lauderdale - to attend the ceremony for promotion to the second level.
As a cat druid, her ceremony for advancement to the second level is to track down and successfully kill any second-level extraordinary rat.
She tracked the second-level rat all the way to Fort Lauderdale. In the wilderness, although the rat was of a higher level than her, it was no match for her. She could only rely on her own descendants to sacrifice themselves and delay time to barely escape.
But once you reach the city, the offensive and defensive situations are different.
The rats hid and moved through the complex underground drainage system, launching sneak attacks.
Not only have big cats lost their home advantage in the wild jungles, they also often attract human attention due to their larger size. They have even become the target of hunting by archery enthusiasts. How tragic!
As for why they don’t transform into human form and then use modern weapons to kill rats.
Firstly, natural druids have never been very fond of weapons developed by humans, thinking that this is a blasphemy to nature, so Penny has never used them, and has never even thought of using thermal weapons.
Secondly, this is the restriction of her promotion ceremony. She must kill the mouse in cat form for it to count.
After explaining her current predicament clearly, Catwoman looked at Luke eagerly, trying to gain sympathy and help.
Luke pondered for a moment, then said righteously, "But I still have to keep tracking the cultists. They are causing too much harm!"
"Hmm~" The big cat uses Star Eyes to attack.
Luke was unmoved.
"Cultists are very good at hiding!" The big cat found the angle again: "When I advance to level 2 and return to the tribe, I can transform into a jaguar by eating spirit bones. Then I can use my extraordinary sense of smell to help you find it, and I can also fight alongside you!"
"Spiritual bones?" Luke found the key word again.
"Yes! They are the extraordinary spiritual bones left by the predecessors of Druids. They can reduce the time required to learn the second-level transformation." Seeing Luke's curious look, the big cat said, "If you are interested, I can bring you a few after I return from the tribe. You saved me twice before, and I haven't thanked you yet."
Extraordinary spiritual bones, this thing is not the extraordinary material needed for spiritual teeth, then I will stand upside down and eat shit!
The material problem that had troubled Luke for many days was finally solved. And Big Cat didn't just say one, she said she would bring me a few.
She really made me cry to death!
"What's the point of thanking or not? I just want to see the heroic figure of our predecessors." Luke held Penny's hand and said, "Although the cultists are also hateful, I think the most urgent task at the moment is to eliminate the rat infestation. These damn rats carry a lot of germs and may cause an epidemic at any time."
"Plague Assassin, it sounds dangerous. Maybe it came to Fort Lauderdale to spread the plague."
"As a transcendent with a conscience, I will never sit idly by and watch such a tragedy happen!"
The big cat stared blankly at Luke's changing expression——
Are these the humans in the city?
Regardless of the process, the two finally reached an agreement.
Luke first helped Penny find and kill the second-level rat king hiding in Fort Lauderdale. After Penny completed the advancement ceremony, she quickly returned to the tribe. After completing the jaguar transformation in about one to two days, she came to Luke with at least two spirit bones, and then helped him find and hunt the cultists.
Penny had a helper to complete the ritual and kill the enemy, and Luke got promotion materials and helpers to deal with the cult. He could also test whether he would gain anything by only assisting and not taking heads when facing extraordinary prey. The deal was reached, the cooperation was pleasant, and both of them had a bright future.
Now that you have decided to exterminate rats, then set out immediately. After all, rats are so fertile. Given the American people's habit of dumping garbage on the streets at will, with sufficient food supply, if you leave a few days later, the number of rats you need to deal with may double.
Penny turned back into a big cat - of course, according to her description, she was not a big cat, but a lynx. In short, they were not much different, both were felines.
Following Luke out of the hotel, she was now a big cat with an owner. Even if she wandered around the street, at most people would look at her with curiosity, instead of treating her as a stray cat and kicking her if they didn't like her like before.
"How do we find that second-level rat king [Plague Assassin]? Do you have any ideas?" Luke asked casually.
"Find the place where the rats are the most numerous, the largest, and the most rampant. Follow the rats' footprints and you will find their leader." Penny's voice came through a leaf attached behind Luke's ear.
When a druid transforms into an animal, his body structure will become exactly the same as that animal, even his vocal organs will change. In order to facilitate communication, the druids specially made such simple props in batches with leaves of extraordinary spirit trees, which allow them to accurately convey their words even in the transformed state.
Big Cat is an expert at tracking rats. According to Penny's suggestion, the two of them took the initiative to walk towards the poor environment and garbage everywhere in the downtown slums.
Rats, which are basically not found in the city center, can be seen almost everywhere here. There are even groups of rats running through the streets in groups, just like young and dangerous guys on their way to a movie.
The big cat's eyes lit up and he scratched Luke's trouser leg.
"Follow them!"
After listening to Penny, Luke turned and walked towards the group of mice. The big cat jumped lightly to the top of the wall and crept in low.
In the city, there are people everywhere, so even if Luke blatantly follows the mice, it won't attract much attention. But if it were Penny, the mice would immediately explode when they saw such a big cat.
After all, not all mice eat cats and mice.
This group of rats seemed to have a clear goal and were hurrying along their way. Along the way, no one even tried to eat the fragrant fried chicken bones on the side of the road.
Wow, the military discipline is strict and they know when to advance and retreat. This group of rats must be trained.
Luke quickly followed the rats, looking very strange on the street where people unconsciously moved aside to make way for the rats.
The good times didn't last long. After turning a corner, the group of rats lined up and jumped down from the sewer pipe like diving, and continued to advance through the underground drainage system.
Now Luke was at a loss, as he couldn't get into the sewer pipe.
The big cat also noticed the situation and jumped down from the wall, landing accurately on Luke's shoulder. Its huge body curled up into a ball, with all four legs stepping on his shoulders.
"The clues are broken again. It was the same as before. The city environment is too suitable for these rats. Let's look for other clues."
Luke looked around and saw a mouse running hurriedly towards him from behind, as if it had just fallen behind.
"No, there is another way."
