Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent-Chapter 254 - 249: Cat and Mouse War, Unrivaled Wreckers
As Tom’s arch-nemesis, this cat and mouse have been caught in a love-hate relationship for who knows how many years.
Now that Tom isn’t being sent away, but moving to a new home, Jerry naturally needs to investigate, then sneak over and finally kick Tom’s cat butt!
The friendship between them is just that inseparable and unpretentious.
Number One glanced at Tom, who was unhappy, and directly reopened a video on the tablet.
Nick Fury was still on the screen, showing a hint of sadness on his face, and said with a slightly reluctant tone.
"Tom, Mo is a great owner, he will take better care of you than I did. Once you’re at Mo’s house, you must behave and stop messing around..."
Watching the video, Tom originally had a happy face upon seeing his owner, but it gradually crumbled into a dismal expression.
In the end, Tom pulled out a small handkerchief from who knows where, continually wiping his tears and twitching his nose with it.
Seeing a snot bubble larger than its head form and burst as it was wrapped in the handkerchief, Mo Qingchen was rendered speechless.
And Jerry, hiding at the mouse hole’s entrance, at some point donned a small drum and started drumming away.
Even though that little guy is smaller than a palm, the drum on him is even smaller, yet the sound filled the entire living room.
In Jerry’s mouth was a blown paper tube, which he was retracting and extending as if in celebration.
The rascal even arrogantly stepped out of the mouse hole, strutting back and forth in the living room, as if celebrating Tom finally being driven out of the mansion.
Meanwhile, Tom, who was just crestfallen and on the verge of tears, suddenly had no scruples and charged toward Jerry with a mischievous grin on his face.
Standing upright, the cat’s legs turned into mere blurs, forming two spinning circles as he rushed at Jerry.
At the same time, Jerry, who had just been banging drums and celebrating Tom’s departure, had his eyes bulge, comically popping out of their sockets.
The next moment, he spat out the paper tube, tossed aside the small drum, and turned to flee.
What followed was a classic cat-and-mouse chase throughout the living room.
Clever Jerry began to utilize all the props in the living room to evade Tom’s pursuit.
But as Tom chased recklessly, he stumbled continuously, falling prey to various traps.
The living room furniture, at this moment, bore the brunt of the cat-and-mouse destruction.
The couch was quickly wrecked, with springs exposed.
To catch up with Jerry, Tom deliberately snapped two springs and fastened them to the soles of his feet.
The very next moment, he used them to spring forward, bouncing up and down through the living room in pursuit.
With the help of props, Tom quickly closed in on Jerry, a smug look stretched across the cat’s face. In the corner of his widening grin, sharp fangs glinted with malicious intent.
But before he could catch his opponent, Jerry darted toward the main door, a tiny paw pressing against it.
As Tom approached, though merely a palm-sized mouse, Jerry suddenly erupted with terrifying power.
The main door was swung shut with a slam, "Bang!" closing tightly.
And Tom, having just bounced over, collided head-on with the door, predictably.
The entire cat, without using anything, hung in the shape of "木" on the door.
After about five seconds, he drifted down like a flimsy piece of cloth, gradually sliding down the door to the floor.
What was once a regular cat turned absurdly flat, like a flattened piece of cloth.
Nonetheless, in the next moment, Tom stretched out his right paw, placing it directly into his mouth.
The head that had been flattened abruptly expanded, ballooning into a round shape.
With a sharp "pop," the body, which had been crushed flat, immediately filled out as if air had been pumped into it. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
In almost an instant, he returned to his normal state.
Mo Qingchen: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ...
This scene was somewhat terrifying, slightly amusing, yet also rather comical.
Meanwhile, Jerry had quietly snuck back inside through the windowsill, tiptoeing toward his mouse hole.
But unfortunately, his actions were spotted by Tom.
Thus, the chase between cat and mouse resumed again.
This time, they weren’t confined to the living room but chased into the kitchen.
The clatter of "ping-pang" sounds began incessantly.
The curious Mo Qingchen walked to the kitchen doorway, observing the havoc caused by the one cat and one mouse.
At the moment, one had a carving knife in hand, the other a fork, ready to duel.
Tom, the cat, took the offense, while Jerry, the mouse, played defense.
Back and forth they went, with the carving knife continuously thrusting and the fork desperately intercepting.
When Jerry couldn’t intercept in time, he would catch hold of his own limbs, performing exaggerated twists and pulls to narrowly avoid the carving knife thrusts.
Amidst a series of sharp sounds, they moved relentlessly backward from one end of the dining table.
Various food and fruits laid on the table fell victim to this cat-and-mouse devastation.
The cake was pierced with countless holes, with each stab bringing out crumbs of cake.
And Tom would unabashedly send the knife into his mouth, slurping up the cake crumbs stuck on it.
As for Jerry, while dodging, he would swiftly snag a small piece of cake and stuff it into his mouth to chew.
It must be said, these two rascals had poked a perfectly good cake full of holes.
What’s even worse is that the missing pieces didn’t fall off but ended up in the bellies of this cat and mouse.
Watching from behind, Mo Qingchen was left speechless once more.
It felt as though these two rascals weren’t trying to finish each other off, but rather, fighting over food, covertly consuming the cake under the pretense of a fight, both in complicity.
And when the cat and mouse reached a roast chicken, the two little guys tossed aside their weapons harmoniously.
In the next moment, both grabbed a chicken leg, their mouths adorably wide as they chomped down.
Compared to Tom, who, with just a few bites, gnawed down a drumstick as big as his paw to only leave bone scraps, Jerry struggled a bit.
A drumstick bigger than itself was stuffed into the mouse’s belly.
As a result, the entire mouse was dumbfounded.
Because its shape had morphed completely to that of the chicken leg it just devoured.
Tom, having finished his chicken leg and seized the chicken body for more feasting, silently sneered.
But just as he started sneering, Jerry, cheekily pulled out the entire chicken leg bone intact from his mouth, instantly restoring his original form.
The very next moment, Jerry swung the chicken leg bone vigorously at Tom’s mocking face.
With a "smack" sound, Tom’s face got slapped sideways.
The slapped cat immediately bristled, and the cat-and-mouse pursuit show began for the third time.
After smacking Tom, Jerry’s legs turned into spinning wheels of fire, zipping over to the cupboards, and once the cupboard door was opened, he pulled out the plates inside and began tossing them like frisbees at Tom.
Mo Qingchen, witnessing Jerry heft plates several times larger than himself to shoot at Tom, was again left speechless.
Tom then began to dodge.
Ducking, retreating, side-stepping, and performing all sorts of gymnastics moves at ease.
Like a graceful dancer, he adeptly dodged the flying plate saucers in a confined space.
However, the serving saucers being tossed suffered greatly, shattering into shards amid "crackling" sounds.
In mere seconds, every plate in the cupboard was hurled empty.
It must be said, their destructive capabilities were truly monstrously unbeatable.
