So I Am A Demon Descendent!

Chapter 185: God Of Cats

Chapter 185: God Of Cats

Great-Grandma listened to the undercurrent underwater and looked at her great-grandson strangely. At first, the employees of the company said that he was a trouble magnet but she didn’t believe it entirely. Although it sounded weird, the demon descendants community did not lack this kind of strange ability.

She had been in this world for many years and has encountered several interesting examples.

Li Wuxiang’s father had ventured in the world and did everything from cheating to kidnapping, and even went grave robbing. He once met a very interesting colleague and learned that no matter how big and small the tombs were, as long as he went down, he would certainly attract vengeful spirits and zombies, which made no sense. But if he didn’t go down to the tomb, everything would be at peace, just like how it would be like if ordinary people went down to tombs.

Lightning King said that there was a girl with a strange physique in Baoze headquarters. Any man she liked would become scum. It was jokingly referred to as a physique that would attract douchebags.

During this period of experience, she gradually believed that her great-grandson was truly a trouble magnet. The most external expression of this physique, manifested in the form as wherever he was, whatever he did, where there is trouble, things will get worse.

Li Xianyu switched on the flashlight and flashed it at the surface of the water. He clearly saw a huge shadow swimming through the bottom of the water but quickly disappeared. A few seconds later, an undercurrent surged at the bottom of the ship, and the huge force directly overturned the fishing boat.

“Screw it!” Li Xianyu roared. He grabbed the shield device that had already been prepared in his left hand, and pulled out the knife from his waist with his right hand, and dived into the water.

Great-Grandma followed closely behind.

The river was cold and the undercurrents buzzed in his ear.

Li Xianyu opened his eyes, looked around in the water, and saw a huge shadow in the distance. He slapped himself on the shoulder twice, facing Great-Grandma, who swung her legs and rode on Li Xianyu’s neck, her shapely long legs clinging to his neck.

If Li Xianyu’s head turned 180 degrees back, it would be a famous posture: Utter Confusion.

Great-Grandma raised her buttocks slightly, and made a posture to lunge. Her feet pushed hard in his chest, as her petite body rushed out in an instant, forming a bunch of bubbles underwater.

Li Xianyu flew backwards, the bones in his sternum shattered and pierced his heart. Great-Grandma’s legs were terrifying and could truly strangle people to death.

He climbed onto the boat in embarrassment and rowed in the direction of the monster and Great-Grandma, taking the opportunity to recover.

After chasing for five minutes, he saw Great-Grandma standing on the ridge at the foot of the mountain, squatting on the ground, frowning in contemplation.

Li Xianyu jumped ashore and towed the boat to the ridge of the field. He then ran to Great-Grandma. “Did you lose it?”

“Yep.” Great-Grandma nodded. It was nothing embarrassing to fail to catch up with an aquatic foreign species in the water. “It was hurt by me, ran ashore, and went into the mountain along the ridge of the field.”

Li Xianyu looked down and his pupils contracted. The footprints of the monster were imprinted on the soft mud, and were about 20 centimeters long. It had the width of a palm and was wide in front and narrow behind. He could not see what the footprints were.

But as he expected, it was not aquatic, but amphibious.

“Did you see it clearly? What is it?” Li Xianyu asked, and immediately noticed a tail beside Great-Grandma’s feet, which was more than half a meter long. “What is this?”

“Rat!” Great-Grandma squatted on the ground, looked up and said, “Eww... Disgusting, a rat the size of a buffalo. This shitty town is full of rats. It’s really uncomfortable.”

“Rat?!” Li Xianyu was taken aback.

Looking at this footprint, one could imagine the size of the rat.

At this moment, the information that he had seen was re-emerging in his mind. The damage at the bottom of the boat were deep, narrow and penetrating. If they were rats, that could be explained. Their teeth were very good at gnawing holes, and that reptile’s mouth could not have caused such damage. Rats could swim. But there were rats this big?

Li Xianyu was no longer an illiterate rookie. He had dealt with the five foreign species families in Northeast China and had seen photos of their humanoid and original forms. With the exception of snakes, most foreign species did not have exaggerated body changes. The current owner of the Hui family was a black rat about the size of a cat.

But the tail that was at Great-Grandma’s feet, which was thick, long and round, was clearly the tail of a rat. It was too recognizable. Even if it was magnified hundreds of times, it would not change the fact that it was the tail of a rat.

“Let’s catch up and have a look.” Li Xianyu and Great-Grandma followed the footprints of the rat monster to the mountain. He grabbed his mobile phone and called the owner of the Hui family.

“Hmm, you can still use your phone?” Great-Grandma asked in a cute and crisp voice.

Li Xianyu heard her tone and his heart sank immediately. “Don’t tell me yours is useless.”

Great-Grandma nodded hard and said, “Yep, I just dropped it in the water.”

“I thought I asked you to put your phone in your wallet in advance.”

“I forgot.”

“Bullshit, you just want to take the opportunity to change your mobile phone. You are just cheating me when I’m distracted.”

“Hehe.”

“Hehe my ass.”

The phone was connected, and the owner of the Hui family said, “Hee what? May I know who this is?”

Li Xianyu coughed. “It’s me, Li Xianyu.”

The other party’s tone immediately changed, with a trace of flattery mixed with respect. “It’s late, what can I do for you?”

Li Xianyu liked to deal with rats very much because they were good at flattery and there were no lack of compliments around them. The fox was cunning. The snake was cold and the rat was cunning... Each had its own characteristics.

“Well, there’s something I’d like to ask. Are there any members as big as cattle in your Hui family?”

“As big as a cow?” The Hui family master murmured, “Do they have red eyes that are perpetually scarlet and shining bright?”

Li Xianyu looked at Great-Grandma. She nodded slightly. He said, “I’m not clear whether it’s always bright, but it did have red eyes.”

The owner of the Hui family suddenly realized. “Oh, that’s not from our Hui family.”

“Not a rat?”

“We are of the same species, but it’s not from our Hui family,” the owner of the Hui family said. “There are two kinds of foreign species cultivation. One is to open up spiritual wisdom which is instructed by wise people, so that we can practice spirit and cultivate. This road is the right way, but not all the foreign species have the capital like us, they may not be able to touch the threshold of qi cultivation in their whole lives, so there is another way to practice: devour the same kind.”

“The more one devours the same kind, the more powerful the qi and blood, but because of the perpetual hunting and massacre, their qi and blood are always raging, and their red pupil will never vanish. Their body will grow bigger and bigger, but their intelligence will not improve and they remain ignorant beasts.”

The owner of the Hui family said, “We generally do not disdain to associate with this kind of people, as our intelligence quotient is not at the same level, so we certainly cannot be friends.”

There was only one way to evolve, and that was to evolve towards intelligence.

The billions of years of evolution of the Earth had given the answer.

Realization dawned on Li Xianyu suddenly. He heard his statement just a month ago. His roommate Xiao Huang was targeted by a Japanese kappa, which had a pair of red pupils, and was extremely chilling. Lightning King’s words at that time were the same as those of the owner of the Hui family.

The owner of the Hui family owner hesitated. “If it didn’t commit a capital crime, can you lend me a favor? The Demons Alliance has recently suffered huge losses and needs to replenish its talents. We, the Hui family, can lead it to the right path.”

“You’re ugly, but you are optimistic,” Li Xianyu spat. “And let it harm the people of Northeast China again?”

“That’s harsh. Although our Hui family members are omnivores, but we basically do not eat people. People do not taste as good as steak... Of course, our favorite is melon seeds. Give us a few tons of melon seeds, and we don’t have to go out for half a month. Besides, now that the Demons Alliance has restored order, harmonious development is the right way.”

The new Minister of Fengtian was the God of Fire, one of the ten gods of Baoze. His temper was terrible and powerful. There was a saying that a new official had three fires, where one was burned in the Wu family, and one fire was burned in the Demons Alliance.

The God of Fire fought the new alliance leader straight and the new alliance leader lost by a slight margin. Thus, in this period of time, the Demons Alliance had been very amenable and obedient.

“We’ll see.” Li Xianyu hung up the phone because they had lost the creature.

At the foot of the mountain, there were dilapidated stone steps leading to the mountain. The night was dark, and the grass and wood on both sides are deep. The silhouette of the thick branches crisscrossed like ghosts, quietly waiting for passers-by to throw themselves into the net.

Li Xianyu hesitated slightly, then climbed the mountain with Great-Grandma. The stone steps were worn and shattered, and weeds grew between the stone seams. The mountain was not tall and they reached the top in ten minutes with their speed.

As they turned the corner, in front of the pine forest shelter, there was a dilapidated temple.

This temple was built with green brick and they were very old bricks. It was supposed to have a temple door, but it has long been rotten, so the door was open.

The whole temple gave the impression that it was out of repair, but it was not entirely destroyed. The temple was covered with dust, and the fallen leaves outside the temple are everywhere. It was clear that this place had been abandoned for many years.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

In the silent mountain, they stepped on the fallen leaves up the steps and entered the ancient temple, with dilapidated signboard hanging at the gate of the temple. There were traditional Chinese characters on the signboard: Temple of the Cat Deity. It probably had been written in gold gilded words in the past.

As they walked into the temple, there was a god statue in the center that was sculpted from clay. It was a god statue with a cat head and a human body. The body of the statue was full of dust and cracks.

It was clearly a temple that survived on offerings, but combined with a desolate and dilapidated environment, it gave people a sense of gloom in the middle of the night.

Li Xianyu’s flashlight illuminated the room where the wall was peeling. There was a thin piece of merit book on each side of the statue. The left wooden merit book records the name and amount of the donor who built the temple. The story of the Cat Deity was recorded on the right.

Li Xianyu blew off the dust and read carefully. As it was written in traditional characters, it was tiring to read.

“In 1894, the rat spirit wreaked havoc, driving rats to swallow grain, causing pestilence, and the suffering of the people...”

Li Xianyu muttered, “Hah.” The deeds written in the merit book were not quite the same as those said by Old Man Zhang. It stated directly that the rat spirit wreaked havoc and it was not just rat pestilence.

At that time, the world was not peaceful, so evils dominated. The cat town was not called cat town in the past but called Huangshui Town. A rat spirit had appeared near Huangshui Town then. It not only hurt the people, but also drove rats to destroy crops and affected the harvest of the people.

There was already a lack of supplies and everyone’s life is not rich. This made life even more difficult. The deadliest thing was that there was a plague and a lot of people died.

Those who had the ability went into the city, or moved to other places. However, poor people continued to suffer from starvation and disease, life was hopeless.

“Great-Grandma, is the rat spirit recorded here the one we met?” Li Xianyu asked.

There was no doubt. Rat pestilence occurred in the town again, but times are different. The plague was not as terrible as people have rich materials and developed medical care, so it was not as disastrous as before.

“No,” Great-Grandma insisted, but did not explain. “What next, what does it say?”

“It says that then, a divine cat came to the town. Where the divine cat went, the rats dared not come out. Since then, the residents have set up a temple on the mountain, and it has become the mountain god of this mountain. The people worship it every year, and there will be a good harvest in the coming year, and they no longer worried about rat infestation.”

“What happened at that time does not look like a mere legend. Now that the rat spirit is here, Great-Grandma, do you think there will really be a divine cat on the mountain?” Li Xianyu smiled.

“If there is really a divine cat on the mountain, would the rat spirit in the river run into this mountain?”

“Haha, that’s true too.” Li Xianyu scratched his head. “It seems to be a legend,” he said. “That’s right. When a rat spirit appears twice in one place, it’s obviously not normal.”

He was very interested in these folklore, but most of them were fake.

If the legend was true, it meant that the two rat spirits had appeared in the cat town, which was unusual and almost impossible in probability. First of all, this was just an ordinary town, and there was no foreign species family like the Northeast Hui Family nearby.

The probability of two rat spirits in Cat Town in a few decades is the same as if you found money twice in the same place. And it had to be in wild mountains.

“Why do I have a bad feeling?” Li Xianyu scratched his head.

Meow meow meow ~

At this time, in the night outside the temple, there was a faint cry of a cat.
