Killing God - Chapter 101

Chapter 101 Half A Person
Shen Shi borrowed the light of the fireball in his palm and carefully walked forward. If he wanted to maintain this fireball, he would have to consume the spiritual energy in his body. However, what had triggered this fireball was a talisman, and it didn’t draw out much spiritual energy. The amount of spiritual energy consumed wasn’t very large, so it wasn’t too difficult for him.

However, after walking for a while in the cave, the places lit up by the fire seemed to indicate that this was just an ordinary cave. At most, it was a little dark. The legendary demonic beasts and ghosts hadn’t encountered a single one of them for half a day.

After the initial panic and nervousness gradually calmed down, Shen Shi quickly noticed that something was amiss here. The rumor had it that the Demon Catching Cave was definitely not like this. Even the forest on the Demon Island outside the cave had those ghosts appearing. This Demon Catching Cave was known as the base camp that had trapped all ghosts on the Demon Island, so how could there not be a single ghost?

Could it be that the restriction that sealed the Demon Catching Cave had failed for some reason, and all the ghosts in the cave had escaped from the cave?

He kept thinking in his heart, Shen Shi’s footsteps slowed down. Although he hadn’t encountered any monsters in this cave for a long time, he didn’t dare to take it lightly in his heart. He widened his eyes in the darkness and carefully looked around, intending to discover any signs. At the same time, he quietly took out another talisman in his other free hand and placed it in his palm.

“Pata!”

Suddenly, a soft sound like a footstep came from the darkness behind him, and it sounded extremely close to him, even less than three feet away.

At that moment, Shen Shi felt his hair stand on end. A cold and gloomy wind blew past the back of his neck. In the midst of the flames, he suddenly shouted loudly and charged forward. He turned around in midair and raised both of his hands at the same time. The fireball lit up. At the same time, a white light flashed on his other hand, and water flowed out. The water archery was about to be released.

A pair of eyes glittering with strange red light!

This was the first impression Shen Shi saw after turning his head.

In the deep darkness, there was no human-like, strange dark red eyes.

Could this be the strange ghost in the Demon Catching Cave?

Shen Shi waved his hand, and the fireball technique had already shot out. After a breath, a water arrow chased after the fireball and pierced through the air. Although ghosts were mysterious and unfathomable, and according to legends, they were extremely powerful, it was impossible for them to just wait and die.

Two Five Elements spells were cast backwards. The speed at which they were cast seemed to frighten the ghost. The first reaction was to stretch out his hand to block it. With a bang, the fireball smashed straight into his hand. Under the impact, the ghost could not help but take a step back.

Shen Shi was delighted at first, but then he was shocked. He was delighted that this spell was effective against ghosts, but he was shocked that this ghost’s body looked exceptionally tyrannical. The fireball technique had only repelled him by one step and did not cause much damage.

The weakness of the Five Elements Technique, especially the low-grade Five Elements Technique, was not obvious when dealing with low-grade demonic beasts on the Demon Island. However, the moment they faced such a ghost with a higher cultivation, they would immediately be exposed.

After the fireball, there was another water archery technique. The translucent water arrow flashed through the darkness with a somewhat dazzling light, almost following the fireball and hitting the ghost’s body.

The red-eyed ghost let out a muffled snort and took another step back. Its body shook, but apart from that, it didn’t seem to have any other injuries.

These Five Elements Techniques really didn’t seem to be able to hurt him.

Shen Shi felt a burst of despair in his heart. He knew that it would be useless to continue fighting. He immediately turned around and ran. However, in this dark cave, where could he run to? He was only subconsciously fleeing.

The fireball technique had already dissipated, and the surroundings immediately fell back into darkness. Shen Shi didn’t dare to use the fireball technique talisman again for a moment. Otherwise, if the flames lit up, he would be a living target. However, in the darkness, even fleeing for his life would stumble. He couldn’t see the way. Not long after, he crashed into a hard protruding rock in panic and fell to the ground.

“Knock knock knock knock knock” Heavy footsteps came from behind, and those strange dark red eyes appeared again from the darkness, rapidly approaching Shen Shi.

Shen Shi fell to the ground and watched as the ghost pounced over. His pair of red eyes were almost close to his face. At this moment, countless terrifying thoughts flashed through his heart like lightning. The stench of death pervaded his surroundings, as if he was unable to breathe at all.

Just as he was desperately trying to pull out a talisman, a large hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder in the darkness. A moment later, it pulled him up. In front of him, there was a strange voice with a hoarse voice and a few intermittent sounds. He hissed,

“Stop, stop!”

Shen Shi’s body stiffened in an instant. Even the talisman in his hand had forgotten to activate. He looked at the strange eyes that were almost right in front of him with disbelief. The strange red light inside seemed to reveal a trace of anxiety.

Why would such a ghost in the Demon Catching Cave actually speak and show such a strange behavior?

Seeing Shen Shi suddenly calm down, the ghost seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, it seemed as if it had thought of something and slowly let go of its grip.

In the strange darkness, the two of them strangely confronted each other. Then, Shen Shi slowly raised his hand. The ghost seemed to have sensed something. A red light flashed in its eyes, as if it was hesitating to stop it. However, in the end, it did not do anything.

“Boom!” A soft explosion sounded. A new fireball talisman was activated by Shen Shi. A ball of flame spurted out and hung on his palm. It also illuminated the strange ghost not far from him.

When he first saw this ghost, Shen Shi felt a sudden chill in his heart. A fear that originated from his heart involuntarily emanated out. It was the natural fear of living beings towards the Death Spirit Monster. The ghost standing in front of him was tall and large, its face twisted, and its body was covered in rotting meat. In some parts of its body, white bones could even be vaguely seen, emitting a disgusting stench.

The only peculiar thing was his pair of red eyes. At this moment, there seemed to be some pain in his eyes that went deep into his bone marrow.

Shen Shi involuntarily took a step back. Even the fireball in his hand trembled a few times. However, in the next moment, his gaze swept past the ghost’s eyes and his distorted face. He suddenly discovered that the outline was somewhat similar to someone in his memory.

Shen Shi’s body trembled. He stared at the ghost’s eyes in disbelief. He opened his mouth wide. A moment later, it seemed that even his voice did not resemble his own. He exclaimed in shock,

“You, you are Senior Brother Niu Xiong?”

For many years, the demon island of the Bluefish Six Islands had been a peaceful place. Even though there were all sorts of dangerous demonic beasts and ghosts on this island, under the care of Lingxiao Sect, there had never been any accidents here.

Until that time, Ganze had an accident on Monster Island and was in danger.

That incident had a tremendous impact. Not only did it affect several of the parties involved, but the aftermath of the incident had also faintly affected the battle between the upper echelons of the Soaring Firmament Sect and the general trend of the next generation of Soaring Firmament Sect’s successor selection.

However, for many of the young disciples in Qingyu Island, These were all too far-fetched matters. They had yet to come into contact with them. The direct consequence they could feel was that the rules of the Demon Island, which had not changed for many years, suddenly became incomparably harsh. Moreover, Gan Ze, the descendant of the Gan Clan, who had previously enjoyed unlimited glory, had been much more quiet and low-key since that incident.

However, after these appearances, on that unexpected night, two more people disappeared from everyone’s sight, and there was no news of them. One was Lin Hu, who accompanied Gan Ze into the Demon Catching Cave, and the other was Niu Xiong, who was forced to rescue the two of them that night but was also trapped in the strange demon island without any news.

Afterwards, Lingxiao Sect had sent people to search the Demon Island several times, but the result was that the two of them could not be found. In the end, although no one came forward to directly explain their whereabouts, in the hearts of everyone, most of them believed that the two of them had probably died tragically on the Demon Island.

However, Shen Shi never expected that on this strange night, in this dark demon hunting cave, he would actually see Niu Xiong who had disappeared for a long time again. Moreover, he saw that he had actually turned into such a strange appearance.

After hearing the words “Senior Brother Niu Xiong”, In the eyes of this tall ghost, Suddenly, a trace of confusion and pain flashed across his face. Even his body seemed to tremble. Shen Shi saw his reaction. Aside from being shocked, he subconsciously moved the fireball in his hand closer. He looked carefully and found that under the twisted face of this ghost, he found even more familiar outline signs. It was Senior Brother Niu Xiongniu, who had taken them to the Demon Island in the past.

Why was Senior Brother Niu Xiong here? What could it be that he wasn’t dead? However, he looked like a monster. However, he still seemed to be somewhat sober and rational.

Thousands of questions hovered in his heart. Shen Shi had too many questions he wanted to ask him, but Niu Xiong suddenly waved his hand and a powerful force surged over, instantly extinguishing the fireball in his hand.

Shen Shi was shocked, and then he heard Niu Xiong’s hoarse voice, who didn’t know whether he was a ghost or a human. He said in a low voice, “Don’t speak, follow me.”

As he spoke, he stretched out a large hand in the darkness, grabbed one of Shen Shi’s arms, and walked towards the depths of the Demon Catching Cave.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but he finally didn’t resist. He obediently followed Niu Xiong forward.

The cave was completely dark. Shen Shi couldn’t even see the surrounding scenery clearly. However, Niu Xiong didn’t know if it was a mutation in his body. He was extremely familiar with the terrain in the darkness. He walked over step by step, circled around left and right, and gradually brought Shen Shi deeper into the Demon Catching Cave.

The darkness seemed to freeze in this deep and mysterious cave, never leaving.
