Wu Shuangshuang asked, "Are you saying that we should choose the passage behind the thirteenth stone door?"
Lin Feng nodded. "That should be the case. Of course, this is only my guess. I can't say for sure."
Wu Shuangshuang continued, "Actually, I'm curious about one thing. How were the twelve zodiacs chosen back then?"
Lin Feng wasn't familiar with this matter, so he shook his head. "I'm not sure either."
"Why didn't the cat get chosen? Logically speaking, they should have a better chance than spirit beasts like chickens and pigs. "
Wu Shuangshuang continued, her heart filled with many suspicions. In truth, Lin Feng had his suspicions as well. However, the twelve zodiacs had been chosen countless years ago, and many things about them were shrouded in mystery. Who knew how the twelve zodiacs were chosen?
Lin Feng said, "Perhaps something happened back then, and the demon cat didn't get chosen in the end. Let's go in and take a look. Who knows, we might be able to gain something."
Wu Shuangshuang nodded. The others hadn't arrived yet, so it was just the right time to go in. Of course, Lin Feng didn't know which passage Underworld Child had chosen. If Underworld Child had chosen this passage, it would be a perfect opportunity to get rid of Underworld Child. Lin Feng was very confident in killing Underworld Child. After all, other than Lin Feng, there was still Wu Shuangshuang and the many powerful undead in the Book of Undead to help him.
After all, Lin Feng wasn't the only one dealing with Underworld Child.
Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang opened the door and a tunnel appeared in their field of vision. It was dark and gloomy. Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang entered the tunnel one after the other. They walked towards the end of the tunnel.
After walking for an hour, they still hadn't reached the deepest part of the passage. This passage was truly dark and deep. Lin Feng couldn't be blamed for complaining about it.
Suddenly …
Lin Feng could faintly hear light footsteps coming from behind. Lin Feng looked at Wu Shuangshuang and asked, "Did you hear those footsteps?"
Wu Shuangshuang was startled. "What footsteps?"
Lin Feng smiled bitterly when he saw Wu Shuangshuang's reaction. It seemed that Wu Shuangshuang hadn't heard him.
Lin Feng said, "Just a moment ago, I faintly heard some footsteps. They were very light, almost inaudible."
Wu Shuangshuang asked, "Did someone else come in here?"
Wu Shuangshuang released her divine sense.... but, I didn't find anything........ You didn't find anything.....................
. Lin Feng had also released his divine sense to check the situation behind them. His divine sense didn't find anything special either. Hearing Wu Shuangshuang's question, Lin Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself. Could he have heard wrongly? That seemed to be a possibility. Lin Feng said, "Maybe I heard wrongly. Let's continue forward."
Wu Shuangshuang nodded.
Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang continued to walk deeper into the passage.
Half an hour later, Lin Feng heard another faint sound. It was so faint that it was almost inaudible. If not for Lin Feng's powerful perception, he wouldn't have been able to detect it. Lin Feng looked at Wu Shuangshuang and asked, "Did you hear anything?"
When Wu Shuang Shuang saw Lin Feng's serious expression, she couldn't help but shiver. Could it be that there was something behind them? After all, she might have heard wrongly the first time, but what about the second time? Wu Shuangshuang took a deep breath and shook her head.
Wu Shuangshuang wanted to use her divine sense to check the passage, but Lin Feng stopped her.
"What do we do now?" Wu Shuangshuang asked.
Lin Feng said, "Since we're already here, there's no turning back. Let's continue forward and see what's behind this passage. Besides, with our abilities, I don't believe there's anything that can easily deal with the two of us."
Wu Shuangshuang thought about it and agreed. Whether it was her or Lin Feng, they were both very strong. Even if they encountered danger, they could deal with it. There was no need for them to be so afraid, and there was no need for them to despair.
After the two of them made up their minds, they continued forward. Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the passage. Lin Feng saw that there was only one altar here, and on top of it was a square box. There were many mysterious runes drawn on the box, but apart from that, there was nothing else. Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang looked at each other and walked towards the box.
When they arrived next to the box, they carefully examined it. They both felt that the box was very strange, and there was an indescribable feeling about it. Just as Lin Feng was about to open the box, the Demon Lord's voice suddenly resounded in Lin Feng's mind. "Don't touch that box."
Lin Feng immediately stopped when he heard the Demon Lord's voice. Judging from the Demon Lord's anxious tone, it seemed that the box was extremely dangerous. Otherwise, the Demon Lord wouldn't have sounded so anxious.
Lin Feng transmitted his voice, "Is there something wrong with the box?"
The Demon Lord replied, "It's not a box, it's a coffin."
"A coffin? What kind of coffin looks like that? How strange. " Lin Feng said.
The Demon Lord continued, "Its appearance is indeed strange, but don't underestimate it. It's called the Soul Burying Coffin, and it's used to bury cultivators' souls. If you open it, it will instantly devour your soul."
"It's that scary?" Lin Feng couldn't help but gasp. This so-called Soul Burying Coffin was really too scary.
The Demon Lord said, "It's an evil item, so it's not too surprising that it's so powerful."
Lin Feng saw that Wu Shuangshuang was still eager to open the Soul Burying Coffin.
He quickly said, "Don't touch that coffin. It's a Soul Burying Coffin, and once it's opened, a cultivator's soul will be buried inside."
Wu Shuangshuang was shocked when she heard Lin Feng's words. She asked, "Is what you said true?"
Lin Feng said with certainty, "Of course it's true."
At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed in the cave, "Kid, you know quite a lot. You even know about the Soul Burying Coffin."
A ball of black smoke appeared after the voice. It was very fast, and it quickly flew towards Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang.
Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang hurriedly took action and collided with the black smoke. Two muffled sounds of collision rang out.
Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang were both sent flying.
Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang were shocked. That ball of black smoke was very powerful.
However, the ball of black smoke did not continue attacking Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang after sending them flying. Instead, it said, "Are you going to bury your own souls, or should I do it myself?"
The ball of black smoke had already arrived beside the Soul Burying Coffin. Since it had said that, it could obviously use the coffin to deal with Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang. Seeing that Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang were silent, the ball of black smoke seemed to want to open the Soul Burying Coffin.
Lin Feng naturally could not let it open the coffin. If it did, who knew what terrible things would happen? Lin Feng hurriedly said, "Please wait."
The ball of black smoke said coldly, "What? Do you understand now? "
Lin Feng did not answer the question. Instead, he said, "If I'm not wrong, you must be that demon cat, right?"
Two incomparably cold eyes suddenly appeared from the ball of black smoke. Those eyes contained dense killing intent.
It said coldly, "Do you know who I am?"
Lin Feng said, "I didn't know at first, but now I have a rough idea. It seems that I was right. You really are that demon cat."
The ball of black smoke said, "That's right. I am that demon cat, the one that was spurned by the world. But who knows what I've been through? Everyone hated me, and no one listened to my voice. In the end, they killed me, burned my body to ashes, and buried my soul in the Soul Burying Coffin. Perhaps they never thought that I would survive. Because of my hatred, my soul fused with my resentment, causing it to mutate. Now, my soul is indestructible. "
Lin Feng snorted disdainfully when he heard the cat say that he was immortal. How could he be immortal?
However, Lin Feng did not refute it. He said, "I'm willing to listen to your story."
The demon cat said hatefully, "When the primordial chaos was first created, Ancestor Hun Kun summoned all the animals in the world. He wanted to choose twelve animals from the twelve earthly branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.
When the news spread, countless creatures were alarmed. I told my good friend, the Sky-Devouring Rat. "
Lin Feng said, "What? Your good friend is a Sky-Devouring Rat? "
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. Weren't cats and rats natural enemies?
How did they become good friends?
The demonic cat nodded and said, "That's right. In the beginning, the Heaven Devouring Rat and I were indeed good friends. Because I was injured, I couldn't recover, so I needed to sleep to recover. I told the Heaven Devouring Rat that he had to wake me up during the selection of the twelve zodiac signs, and he agreed."
"But when the day of the selection arrived, the Heaven Devouring Rats left without saying goodbye," said the Heaven Devouring Rats.
"On that day, animals gathered in the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace to start the selection. Ancestor Hun Kun chose twelve different animals: dragon, tiger, ox, horse, goat, monkey, chicken, dog, pig, rabbit, snake, and rat. Actually, I should have been chosen because I'm the most intelligent animal in the world. I'm even more intelligent than the dragon, but because I didn't show up, I wasn't chosen.
"The twelve zodiac animals are arranged according to the order of the twelve earthly branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. Therefore, after the twelve zodiac animals are chosen, they have to be ranked in order. The twelve zodiac animals are gods. The higher you are ranked, the more benefits you will receive. Back then, I was very strong. Even though I was injured, I believed that with my strength, I would have no problem ranking first."
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. This demon cat was really confident, but it didn't seem to be bragging. It was probably really strong.
Wu Shuangshuang asked, "Why are you so confident that you'll be ranked first? What's the order of the twelve zodiac animals? "
The demon cat said, "Of course I'm confident because my cultivation is the highest. Back then, apart from Hong Meng, Hong Jun, Daoist Lu Ya, and Ancestor Hun Kun, who would dare say that they could defeat me?
"The Sky-Devouring Rat learned many of its abilities from me. Even the third-ranked White Tiger was my disciple. Now you know how strong I am, right?"
Lin Feng and Wu Shuangshuang couldn't help but click their tongues.
Whether it was in the world of cultivators or the world of mortals, there was a saying that the tiger was the cat's disciple. Now, it seemed that this was true. It had been like this since the beginning of time.
The demon cat said, "After a series of battles, the order of the zodiac animals was determined. They are First Rat, Chou Ox, Yin Tiger, Mao Rabbit, Chen Long, Si Snake, Wu Horse, Wei Yang, Shen Monkey, You Chicken, Xu Dog, and Hai Pig.
"That's the origin of the twelve zodiac animals. After the birth table of the twelve zodiac animals was determined, Ancestor Hun Kun issued a decree and ordered the Merit Officer on duty to spread the news. At the same time, he wrote down the positions of the twelve zodiac gods on the Investiture of the Gods. Once the Investiture of the Gods is written on the Investiture of the Gods, you're a True God.
"The twelve zodiac animals are one of the strongest Titled Gods. Back then, they were extremely important to cultivators. Because of my friend's betrayal, I missed out on the Investiture of the twelve zodiac animals. Don't you think I should be angry?
"The most laughable thing is that the Sky-Devouring Rat guy. He obtained the title of Titled God and became the famous First Rat on the Investiture of the Gods.
"That guy came to me and showed off. At that time, I was still asleep and he woke me up. At that time, I was very grateful to him. Who would have thought that I would receive such a shocking piece of news?
"First Rat proudly told me that he had obtained first place and had become the strongest of the Twelve Zodiac animals.
"I was very angry and asked him why he didn't call me. "But First Rat said," You're so strong. If I had called you, you might have stolen my position.
"When I heard that, I almost died from anger. I rushed forward and slapped First Rat away. We fought, but he was no match for me. In the end, I killed him.
"After that, the Cat Clan and the Rat Clan became enemies. Because I killed First Rat, many Titled Gods on the Investiture of the Gods wanted me. In the end, I was killed."
