Great-grandmother listened to the undercurrent and looked at her great-grandson with a strange expression. Initially, her employees said that he was a troublemaker, but she didn't quite believe it. Although it sounded mysterious, the world of bloodline didn't lack such strange abilities.
She had traveled the world for many years and met a few interesting examples.
Li Wuxiang's father used to travel the world and did all kinds of things. He even went into tombs to fight. He once met an interesting person who said that no matter how big or small a tomb was, as long as he went down, he would definitely attract vengeful spirits and zombies. But if he didn't go down, everything would be peaceful and he would be no different from an ordinary person.
Dharmaraja said that there was also a girl with a strange physique in the headquarters of Bosch. Any man that she liked would definitely become a scumbag. She was jokingly called the physique that attracted scumbags.
After this period of experience, she gradually believed that her great-grandson was a troublemaker. This physique was the most obvious external manifestation. Wherever he was, whatever he did, there would be trouble and things would turn bad.
Li Xianyu turned on his flashlight and shone it on the water. He could clearly see a huge black shadow swimming past and quickly disappearing. A few seconds later, an undercurrent surged from the bottom of the boat and the huge force caused the boat to capsize.
"Kill it!" Li Xianyu shouted.
His left hand held onto the shield-shaped artifact that he had prepared and his right hand pulled out a dagger from his waist. He dived into the water.
Great-grandmother followed closely behind.
The water was cold, and the sound of flowing water could be heard.
Li Xianyu opened his spiritual eye and looked around in the water. He saw a huge black shadow in the distance. He patted his shoulder twice towards Great-grandmother. Great-grandmother understood and swam over. She sat on Li Xianyu's neck as if she was riding a wooden horse. Her long legs clamped tightly around his neck.
If Li Xianyu's head turned 180 degrees, it would be the famous pose: a dumbfounded face.
Great-grandmother slightly raised her buttocks, and her posture looked like she was about to pounce on him. She kicked hard on his chest, and her petite body instantly rushed out, creating bubbles at the bottom of the water.
Li Xianyu was sent flying in the opposite direction. His sternum was completely shattered and his heart was pierced. Great-grandmother's leg technique was so terrifying that it could really crush a person to death.
He climbed onto the boat and rowed in the direction of the monster and Great-grandmother, taking the opportunity to recover from his injuries.
After chasing for five minutes, he saw Great-grandmother squatting on a ridge at the foot of the mountain, frowning in deep thought.
Li Xianyu jumped ashore and dragged the boat to the ridge. Then, he ran to Great-grandmother and asked, "You lost them?"
"Yes." Great-grandmother nodded. It was not a shameful thing to lose an aquatic creature underwater. "I injured it. It ran ashore and followed the ridge into the mountain."
Li Xianyu looked down and his pupils shrank. The monster's footprints were left on the soft ridge. They were about 20 centimeters long and as wide as a palm. The front was wide and the back was narrow. He could not tell what it was.
But as he expected, it was not an aquatic creature. It was at least amphibious.
"Did you see it clearly? What is it?" Li Xianyu asked. He immediately noticed the tail that was more than half a meter long beside Great-grandmother's feet. "What is this?"
"A rat!" Great-grandmother squatted on the ground and raised her face. "Ugh, disgusting. A rat the size of a buffalo. There are rats everywhere in this stupid town. It's so uncomfortable. "
"A rat?!" Li Xianyu was shocked.
Looking at the footprints, he could imagine the size of a rat.
At that moment, the information that he had read reappeared in his mind. The damage to the bottom of the ship was deep and narrow, and it had a strong penetrative force. If it was a rat, then it could be explained. Their teeth were very good at chewing and digging holes. It was indeed impossible for a reptile to cause such a wound. And rats could indeed swim. But did such a big rat really exist in this world?
Li Xianyu was no longer an illiterate rookie. He had interacted with the five major mutant families in the northeast and had seen their photos in human form and their true forms. Other than snakes, most mutants did not have exaggerated body changes. The current head of the Hui Family was a black rat the size of a cat.
But the tail under Great-grandmother's feet was thick, long, and round. It was obviously a rat's tail. It was too easy to recognize.
Even if it was magnified a hundred times, it would not change the fact that it was a rat's tail.
"Let's catch up and take a look." Li Xianyu and Great-grandmother followed the rat's footprints up the mountain. They took out their phones and called the head of the Hui Family.
"Huh, your phone is still useful?" Great-grandmother's crisp and cute voice sounded.
Li Xianyu's heart sank when he heard her tone. "Don't tell me yours is useless."
Great-grandmother nodded. "Yes, yes, I dropped it in the water."
"Didn't I tell you to put your phone in your wallet?"
"I forgot."
"Nonsense. You just wanted to take the opportunity to get a new phone. You played tricks on me when I wasn't paying attention."
"Hehe."
"Hehe, your sister."
The call went through. The head of the Hui Family said, "My sister what? Who is this? "
Li Xianyu coughed. "It's me, Li Xianyu."
The other party's tone changed immediately. It was respectful with a hint of flattery. "What's the matter so late at night?"
Li Xianyu liked to interact with rats because they were good at flattering. He would never lack compliments when he was around them. Foxes were cunning, snakes were cold, and rats were cunning. Each had their own characteristics.
"Yes, I have something to ask. Is there anyone in the Hui Family that looks as big as a cow?"
"As big as a cow?" The head of the Hui Family pondered for a moment. "Does it have red eyes that never go out?"
Li Xianyu looked at Great-grandmother. She nodded slightly. He said, "I'm not sure if it never goes out, but its eyes are indeed red."
The head of the Hui Family suddenly realized. "Oh, that's not from the Hui Family."
"It's not a rat?"
"It's the same kind, but not from the Hui Family." The head of the Hui Family said, "There are two types of cultivation for mutants. The first type is to cultivate Qi after gaining spiritual intelligence and receiving guidance from an expert. This path is the right path, but not all mutants are like us who have the foundation and capital. They might not even be able to reach the threshold of Qi Cultivation in their entire lives, so they have another cultivation method — devouring their own kind. "
"The more of their own kind they devour, the stronger their Qi and blood becomes. However, because they kill and hunt all year round, the power of their bloodline remains, so their red eyes never go out. Their bodies become bigger and bigger, but correspondingly, their intelligence won't improve. They're just ignorant beasts. " The head of the Hui Family said, "We usually don't want to associate with these kinds of people. Our intelligence isn't on the same level, so we definitely can't be friends."
There was only one right path on the path of evolution, and that was to evolve towards intelligence.
The answer had been given by the billions of years of evolution on Earth.
Li Xianyu suddenly realized that he had heard of this before. Just a month ago, his roommate Goldie was targeted by the Kappa of Japan. The Kappa had a pair of red eyes that never went out and were extremely terrifying. Dharmaraja's words were exactly the same as the head of the Hui Family.
The head of the Hui Family said hesitantly, "If it hasn't committed a capital crime, can you sell it to me? The Demon Alliance has suffered great losses recently and needs to replenish its manpower. We, the Hui Family, can guide it onto the right path."
"You're ugly, but you're dreaming." Li Xianyu spat. "Let it harm the people in the northeast?"
"What are you talking about? Although we, the Hui Family, are omnivores, we basically don't eat humans. Humans aren't as delicious as steak. Of course, our favorite food is still melon seeds. Give us a few tons of melon seeds and we won't go out for half a month. Moreover, the Demon Alliance has already restored order. Harmonious development is the right path. "
The new Minister of Fengtian was the God of Fire, one of the Ten Gods of Bosch. He had a fiery temper and high magic power. As a new official, he set two fires on the Wu Family and one on the Demon Alliance. The God of Fire directly challenged the new alliance leader to a fight. The new alliance leader lost slightly, so the Demon Alliance was very restrained and obedient.
"We'll talk about it later." Li Xianyu hung up the phone because they had lost him.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a shabby stone staircase leading into the mountain. The night was dark, and the vegetation on both sides was deep. The dense branches intertwined like ghosts, quietly waiting for passersby to walk into the trap.
Li Xianyu hesitated for a moment, then led Great-grandmother up the mountain. The stone staircase was broken and rotten, and weeds grew between the cracks. The mountain wasn't high. With their strength, they reached the top in ten minutes.
After turning a corner, a shabby small temple appeared in front of them hidden by the pine forest.
The temple was built with green bricks, very old bricks. It should have had a temple door, but it had long decayed, so the door was open.
The whole temple gave people the feeling that it had been in disrepair for a long time, but it wasn't shabby. The temple was covered with dust, and outside the temple was covered with fallen leaves. It was obvious that it had been abandoned for many years.
"Shh-shh-shh"
In the quiet mountain, they stepped on the fallen leaves, walked up the stairs, and entered the ancient temple. There was a shabby plaque hanging on the temple door. It was blurred with traditional Chinese characters: Cat Fairy Temple.
It must have been golden gilded characters in the past.
Entering the temple, there was a statue made of clay. It was the image of a cat's head and a human body. The body of the statue was covered with dust and cracks.
It was obviously a temple that ate incense, but combined with the desolate and dilapidated environment, it gave people a gloomy feeling in the middle of the night.
Li Xianyu's flashlight illuminated the peeled walls of the room. There was a merit book hanging on both sides of the statue. The wooden merit book on the left recorded the name and amount of money of the donors who built the temple. The deeds of the cat fairy were recorded on the right.
Li Xianyu blew away the fallen dust and looked at it carefully. It was a little tiring to look at the traditional Chinese characters.
"In 1894, the rat spirit caused a disaster. It drove the rats to eat the food, causing a plague, and the people suffered."
Li Xianyu snorted. The deeds written on the merit book were not the same as what Old Zhang said. It directly said that the rat spirit caused a disaster, not a plague of rats.
At that time, the world was not peaceful, so evildoers overflowed. Cat Town was not called Cat Town in the past, but Huangshui Town. A rat spirit appeared near Huangshui Town. It not only harmed the people, but also drove the rats to destroy the crops, affecting the harvest of the people. There was already a shortage of materials, and everyone was not well off. Now it was even more difficult. The most terrible thing was that there was a plague later, and many people died.
Those who could afford it all went to the city or moved to other places. The poor kept hunger and disease, and there was no hope for life.
"Great-grandmother, could the rat spirit recorded on it be the one we met?" Li Xianyu asked.
There was no doubt that this town was now suffering from a plague of rats again. However, the times were different, and the plague of rats was not terrible. People had abundant materials and developed medical care, so it was not like before.
"No." Great-grandmother insisted, but did not explain. "Then, what did it say?"
"It said that a cat spirit appeared in the town. Wherever the cat spirit went, the rats did not dare to come out. It eliminated the rat spirit and the rats, and the plague of the town was cured. Since then, the residents built a temple for it on the mountain, and it became the mountain god of this mountain. The people worshiped it every year, and the next year they would have a good harvest, and they would no longer worry about the rats. "
"It doesn't seem like a legend. Now there is a rat spirit. Great-grandmother, do you think there is really a cat spirit on the mountain?" Li Xianyu laughed.
"If there is a cat spirit on the mountain, how dare the rat spirit in the river run to this mountain?"
"Haha, that's true." Li Xianyu scratched his head. "It seems that it is indeed a legend? That's right. It's obviously not normal for a rat spirit to appear twice in the same place. "
He was very interested in these folklore, but unfortunately, most of them were fake.
If the legend was true, then it meant that there were two rat spirits in Cat Town. This was very abnormal, and it was almost impossible in terms of probability. First of all, this was just an ordinary town, and there were no mutant families like the Hui Family in the northeast nearby.
The probability of two rat spirits appearing in Cat Town in a few decades was equivalent to picking up money twice in the same place. Moreover, it had to be in the wilderness.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Li Xianyu scratched his head.
"Meow, meow, meow ~"
