After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1435

Chapter 1435: Indigenous Battle Pets

A/N: Long chap, but only 1 today! This could’ve been divided into two chaps with a few more paragraphs (sobs) but I don’t have time (sobs).

Still, in terms of word count, it’s almost the same as 2 chaps! It’s cheaper for you guys, too, so don’t hate me xDD

"Stop being stubborn and accept it by hand!" Mao said, squatting next to the panda and raising his hand.

The panda looked at him while it chewed and then rolled over elsewhere again.

Mao sighed, looking at the large fluffball in front of him. He only had five minutes left. If he failed, he had to line up all over again. What if someone else bonded with him in the meantime?

The panda, despite their laziness, awakened interesting skills. One of them could harden his skin like it was metal. This made their defense far superior to others of the same level, even among beasts. They also tended to roll around a lot. This wasn’t bad because it fixed their laziness, er, agility problem.

According to the stories of those who encountered the panda families in the wild, they were dealing with a small monster mob while rolling around like pinballs.

It was apparently shocking and hilarious. Too bad he didn’t see it! No one had the presence of mind to record it, either!

It was here that the animals all turned in a direction all of a sudden. This included the pandas, who rolled over all the way to the edge of their corrals. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

RAHHH!

"Wha—" Mao, who was bumped aside by the pandas, scratched his bum. "Yo! What’s going on?!"

He saw the bears rubbing or even bumping on the gates, as if demanding to be let out.

"This..."

He stood up and looked at them in puzzlement, before turning to the neighboring corrals, only to see the animals there behaving the same way. The only exception seemed to be Luis’ coyote, who was calmly sitting down next to its master.

RAHHH!!

The guards also looked awkward, but ignored them. Although the animals were smart and the guards would usually let them out if they were well-behaved and asked politely, it was still under the guards’ discretion in the end.

Everybody else was similarly shocked, and they gaped as the animals all tried to scratch or bump in a specific direction, as if attracted by something there.

Not long after that, they heard little voices echo amongst the crowd.

"WAOOOO!!!"

"OOUGGHHH!"

Little voices reverberated across the place and whenever the voices were nearer, the animals would be even more... enthusiastic.

Mao blinked and walked towards the gapped fences, looking over to see it was Meatball and Pepper admiring the animals!

"WWWAAAOOO! BIG! BIG!" Meatball yelled, looking at the panda, raising his arms as if trying to be bigger himself.

Pepper was looking at the corral across of this, which had the few lions and tigers they had. "Pwetee..."

This made the animals really energetic, bumping repeatedly on the walls, as if frantically trying to go to them.

Bang! Bang!

These corral fences were actually modified level 2 fences, but Mao feared that the animals could really destroy them!

Then, they realized the animals in the enclosure were not the only problem; there were also at least a dozen animals outside!

Woof!

Meow!

Seeing as many cats and dogs were heading in their direction, the two babies giggled and their little feet moved to greet their new animal friends.

Woof!

Meow!

At first, it was cute, but it soon became clear to the adults that something was very wrong.

Before the small mob could glomp the babies, Lola and Yana gasped and grabbed them, lifting them up, while Fufi and Snow blocked the way.

ROAR!

AWOOOOO!!

Fufi growled at them, and the animals stopped moving. Some whimpered and bent down a little under his intimidation, while others—like some in the corrals—simply paused.

At the very least, the cats and dogs were stopped in their tracks, and at least a meter away from the babies. Fufi barked again, and the animals went back to their houses.

"What’s going on?" Yana asked, holding Pepper on one hand. She tried to calm down her palpitating heart, though she could only embrace the child.

Sigh

This was really interesting. It was very difficult to get a legitimate battle pet and many people had been trying for a while. However, those same snobbish animals were rushing towards the twins as if they were desperate to imprint.

"But don’t the babies play with the unbonded kittens a lot?" Althea asked, wondering why this was a problem now.
