Killing God - Chapter 100

Chapter 100 Foreign Body
A dark wind blew over, and the sound of ghosts crying rang out. Outside the Demon Island’s Demon Catching Cave, it was as if it was the coldest place on earth. Shen Shi abruptly turned his head and turned around to look. He saw ghosts and flames swarming towards him. There were countless ghosts hidden in the mist, countless more than he had seen during the day. It was as if it covered the sky and the earth, turning this place into a land of ghosts and ghosts.

He subconsciously wanted to escape, but when he looked around, he discovered that there was ghost mist everywhere. The ghosts and ghosts were howling and crying as they slowly approached him. The only place where there were no ghosts was the Demon Catching Cave behind him.

But isn’t the Demon Catching Cave the place where all the ghosts are gathered on this demon island …

It was as if there was no longer any way to survive in the heavens and earth.

Shen Shi’s face was deathly pale. He looked at the countless ghosts and ghosts in the surroundings. Seeing that they were less than ten to twenty feet away from him, he could even clearly see the nearest ghost’s terrifying blood-red eyes and roaring mouth, not to mention the ghost cry that seemed to be heard by his ears.

Running is death, not running is also death, what should we do …

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, there was nothing he could do. Finally, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the pitch-black Demon Catching Cave.

No matter what kind of terrifying ghost demonic beasts were in the Demon Catching Cave, it was better than dying at the hands of these ghosts right now.

The Demon Catching Cave in the dark seemed to be the real Shen Shi, who was forced into the Demon Catching Cave in despair. He felt that his eyes had suddenly darkened and he was already in an endless darkness.

However, the sound of ghost crying was still coming from outside the cave behind him. Life and death were still on the line. Even though he was in a desperate situation, there was still a trace of his stubborn will to survive. Shen Shi desperately groped in the darkness. Soon, he touched the hard stone wall beside him and ran madly inside the cave without caring about it.

The ghost cried loudly, Countless green lights rushed to the entrance of the Demon Catching Cave. But for some reason, The ghost mist stopped at the entrance of the cave. All the ghosts also stopped at the entrance. Facing this cave that was once the residence of all ghosts on the demon island, none of these ghosts stepped into it. They surrounded the cave entrance and let out shrill ghost cries, as if they were shouting something.

Shen Shi did not know what strange changes were happening to the ghosts behind him. To him, it was the most important thing to immediately stay away from those terrifying ghosts. Only in this way could he still have a slim chance of survival. However, even in his heart, he actually understood that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this time.

Deep into the Demon Catching Cave, with his shallow cultivation, he was simply unable to resist the ghosts and demonic beasts here. Moreover, on this day, it was obvious that an unknown event had occurred on this demonic island. That was why these ghosts that were sealed in the Demon Catching Cave broke through the restrictions and arrived outside the Demon Catching Cave.

But what exactly happened here?

Shen Shi ran forward desperately. The surroundings were endless darkness, as if there was no end to it. Apart from the stone walls of the cave that his palms were constantly searching for, Shen Shi could no longer feel anything else.

It was like an endless sea of darkness, coldly circling him. No matter how much he ran, he struggled in vain. In the depths of the darkness, there were countless dangerous gazes coldly staring at this intruder who did not know the heavens and earth.

Just like this, he kept running until Shen Shi felt that he couldn’t breathe and his footsteps involuntarily slowed down. His hand was still tightly clinging to the rough stone wall in the darkness, as if it was the only thing he could rely on in this strange darkness.

Afterwards, Shen Shi suddenly discovered that the ghost fog that he had been running away from had disappeared into the darkness behind him and was no longer there.

The shrill ghost cries had dissipated, and only silence remained in the darkness that was as deep as ink. This feeling suddenly reminded Shen Shi of the accident five years ago when he and Zhong Qingzhu were washed into that mysterious underground cave by the waves. At that time, the surroundings seemed to be as dark as before, and there was no way for them to survive.

But at that time, he still had a companion.

At this moment, Shen Shi suddenly missed Zhong Qingzhu. That young girl’s beautiful face appeared in his mind, but at this moment, he was only alone.

The sound of panting was exceptionally abrupt in the darkness. Shen Shi quickly noticed this. He gritted his teeth and suppressed his panting. He subconsciously leaned against the stone wall. The darkness surrounded him, and there was no movement in the surroundings. It was as if Shen Shi was confronting this boundless darkness.

After swallowing his saliva with some difficulty, Shen Shi’s emotions gradually calmed down. After pondering for a moment, he took a deep breath and slowly stretched out his right hand. In silence, a fireball talisman was already sandwiched between his fingers.

In the darkness, ignite a flame …

Those who had never experienced complete darkness would not understand the fear of endless darkness. When the flames lit up, what kind of scene would they see?

Is it gloomy? Is it cruel? Was it a ghost? White bones?

Or the scene of a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, or hell?

Shen Shi did not know that he was very nervous in the darkness, but the hand he extended was still forcefully maintaining its stability. Without these talismans and spells, he would have nothing left.

In the darkness, there was a faint light sound, and it carried some clarity. A talisman suddenly burned and instantly turned into a fireball. It emitted a blazing light on Shen Shi’s palm, illuminating the scene nearby.

Qingyu Island, by the dock.

The jade bottle containing the Origin Strengthening Pill quietly slid down and landed on the soil at his feet, producing a soft sound. Zhong Qinglu trembled slightly and subconsciously squatted down to pick up the jade bottle. However, for some reason, her hands trembled slightly. She picked up the smooth jade bottle several times and was unable to hold it. Only in the end did she manage to grab it.

At this moment, the disciples from the ship had already walked over in twos and threes. They looked at Zhong Qinglu, who was standing in a dark corner with a serious expression and full of thoughts.

Just as they were about to walk past the corner where Zhong Qinglu was hiding, a man in the crowd suddenly seemed to be unable to hold himself back and whispered, “Isn’t it good for us to just ignore that junior apprentice-brother and directly return to the island?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the surrounding people were a little strange, but none of them spoke. After a while, another tall man standing beside him seemed to have some helplessness as he said, “Actually, we didn’t say anything about this. It was Senior Sister Xu and Senior Brother Zeng who made the decision, regardless of that late-returning junior brother.”

“That’s the rule.” After a moment of silence, the tall man suddenly added this sentence. It seemed that even he could not convince himself of what he had just said.

No one said anything else. The rules of the Demon Island were already known to everyone. They acted according to their abilities and were proud of their own life and death. Homecoming on time, stalling.

However, everyone’s expressions were still the same. At the end, a person suddenly said in a low voice, “At such a young age, I have already cultivated to the high stage of the Qi Refining Realm. In this final year, I should have had a bright future. I insisted on adventuring on that demon island, but I was still willing to go alone. Isn’t this my own death?”

The surrounding people let out sighs. Even the tall man looked somewhat dispirited. He sighed and said, “This is his life. No one can care about it. I think Senior Sister Xu and Senior Brother Zeng should be heading in the direction of Xuan Ri Hall. Perhaps they should go ask Senior Brother Wang Gen to save them, right?”

The nearby people quietly agreed a few times, but they didn’t have any unanimous opinion, so they gradually walked far away.

And in a dark corner by the side, Zhong Qinglu felt her heart go blank. It was as if she had realized something, but she was unable to really say it or admit it. In front of her eyes, Shen Shi’s usual figure kept appearing. That person was still chatting with her yesterday while smiling. He handed over the eighty spirit crystals to her, and at the same time, he had a familiar helpless expression on his face.

Why, why did he still have to go to Monster Island for adventure even in the fifth year …

You can clearly cultivate safely on Bluefish Island.

Why did he go? Was it because of those spirit crystals?

For the sake of those … pill refining spirit crystals …

Zhong Qinglu looked blankly at her palm. The warm and smooth jade bottle was nestling beside her. Suddenly, she felt as if she had been frightened by the fire. Her body trembled and she threw away the jade bottle.

The flames lit up, forcing the surrounding darkness back a little, illuminating a few feet before and after.

Even though Shen Shi was mentally prepared to see all sorts of terrifying scenes before casting the fireball spell, under such circumstances, his body was still nervous to the point of collapsing.

Illuminating the unknown, perhaps this kind of action would cause people to feel fear.

At that moment, Shen Shi even subconsciously held his breath.

The flames lit up and reflected in his eyes.

Nothing.

After thinking about all the terrifying things, even the legendary scene of Nine Nether Yellow Springs Hell, Shen Shi couldn’t help but imagine it in his mind. However, he didn’t expect that what he saw was a place without the slightest trace of fear.

Right in front of him, under the light of the fireball technique, it looked like a completely ordinary cave. The hard stone walls and the ground were somewhat uneven, and there were sharp stones protruding from some places. Other than that, there was nothing unusual about this place.

Farther away, the flames could not shine, and there was still boundless darkness. However, from the looks of it, there seemed to be no danger in his surroundings.

The legendary ferocious demonic beasts and all sorts of strange ghosts hiding in this mysterious demon hunting cave were nowhere to be seen.

After Shen Shi’s initial shock, a sliver of hope slowly rose in his heart.

He didn’t know how much he had already gone into the Demon Catching Cave because of the frenzied escape earlier, but perhaps there was really a sliver of hope for him to be saved?

He gritted his teeth, maintained the fireball in his palm, and probed forward.

The darkness is in the darkness, He quietly followed the pitiful and faint flame and said, Shen Shi nervously and carefully explored this mysterious and vast cave. However, he didn’t notice that in the deep darkness behind him, two dark red lights suddenly lit up. They didn’t look like dark green ghost pupils like ghosts, but they couldn’t tell what they were. They slowly flashed in the darkness for a moment before quietly leaning towards Shen Shi.
