Grey earth world.

A man walked with a dirty face in a gloomy forest.

This person was indeed Kellen.

He had to go to the underworld once.

This time, he was able to break through the layers of "cling film" inside the cave and reach the end, only one step away from stepping into the underworld.

However, he was well aware that if he really stepped in directly, he might not be able to come back - King of Urban would probably notice immediately.

So Kellen planned to take the shortcut through the grey earth world.

He felt that he had been walking for a long time, the sky was still the same sky, the forest was still the same forest, and the common methods used to determine direction in the human world were ineffective here.

Kellen climbed up to the top of a tree again, frowning.

According to Susie's description, there would have been a very tall and dense forest, with a tree that could reach the height of a high-rise building. The trunk would have been so thick that ten people couldn't wrap their arms around it, and the leaves would have been lush green.

But he had been walking for so long and surprisingly didn't see any color other than gray.

"Did we go in the wrong direction?" Kellen doubted.

He climbed down the tree, with more dust on his body.

The name of the grey earth world is fully reflected here.

Looking around, all I could see was varying shades of gray, as if stepping into an ink painting. After a while, it even made me question if I was not a three-dimensional person, but rather a paper figure in a two-dimensional world.

Lost again, Kellen leaned against a tree and slowly took a sip of water from his water bottle.

At this moment, suddenly heard the rustling sound.

A gray shadow zoomed past with a swoosh.

"Cat?!"

Kellen was delighted and immediately stood up to chase after him!

I don't know how long he had been chasing, but more and more dust accumulated on his body, and he didn't have time to brush it off.

The cat running ahead had a light posture, unlike Kellen. It leaped agilely among the trees, while the dust swirled around it like stars, without touching it at all.

It seemed a little unhappy, with its tail bristling, it turned around and glanced at the persistent humans.

"Wait!" Kellen shouted.

The cats here are extraordinary, they can definitely understand.

But the cat in front ran even faster.

Kellen suddenly said, "Here are some fish snacks for you!"

The cat in front indeed slowed down its pace.

It turned around, staring at Kellen with caution.

Kellen reached into his pocket and pulled out a sealed plastic bag. He took out a small dried fish from the bag.

He squatted down, with his elbows resting on his knees, and raised an eyebrow slightly, "A small dried fish, will you lead the way?"

The cat looked disdainfully at Kellen, its eyes seemed to say: Such a tall human, yet so stingy.

It quickly glanced at the small fish crackers and then sat down in the distance.

Although he didn't say anything, Kellen could roughly understand its meaning - it probably wanted more than just one small fish.

Kellen shook the small fish crackers in his hand and said, "Two small fish crackers, take me outside."

"These small dried fish are from the same batch as the ones little Yama brought that day."

Kellen shamelessly took out his precious little treasure as his signature: "Limited quantity, first come, first served."

"In this grey forest, there should have been more than just one cat like you, and they must have also wanted to taste what the Little Yama brand fish snacks were like."

The cat in front: "..."

Meow, humans are indeed cunning.

Well, for the sake of the fish treats...

But suddenly, the person in front of me added, "Pay one and get one, I'll give you one first, and pay the remaining one after I take me out."

Cat: "..." Gan.

It looked disdainful, with a hint of arrogance in its eyes, as if saying, "This cat is not doing it anymore."

Kellen, however, threw the small fish towards it.

The cat instinctively leaped and, like a lightning bolt, swiftly and accurately caught the fish snack in mid-air.

The taste of dried fish instantly rushed into the nostrils and tongue...

Kellen secretly marveled at the extraordinary agility of the cats here.

In less than half a second, the cat caught the small fish snack and returned to its original position.

I saw it holding a small fish bone, motionless, still staring at him vigilantly.

Just...

The drool quietly fell from its corner of the mouth and dropped onto the dusty muddy ground.

It exposed its true inner self.

Kellen smirked and took out a small fish snack, "Deal?"

The cat made a low growling sound in its throat, and eventually, as if in a bit of a huff, turned around and walked away.

Its pace had slowed down, and Kellen could easily keep up with it, so he knew that the deal had been closed.

Ha... If I had known it earlier, I should have taken all the cans of fish snacks that Tabby hid.

Now he had to be frugal with his expenses.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a bright light in front of me, and he walked out of the gloomy forest!

There was a forest composed of huge trees in front of him. Kellen looked up and couldn't help but marvel. In that moment, it felt like he was transported into the world of ancient mythology.

"Originally, this is the grey earth world."

Has he been walking in a gray forest for about a month? According to his own calculation, it's probably around this time.

Without the guidance of the cat, he might not have been able to find his way out and could have spent his whole life wandering.

"Listening to Susie's adventure, I thought the place could be easily reached, but it turned out that only she could easily reach it," Kellen whispered.

But what made Kellen restless was... Ledger, that guy, could easily catch a flying beast and reach his destination, yet he took half a month.

Is this reasonable?
