Killing God - Chapter 111
Chapter 111 Study Room
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but he still followed behind the dog and knelt down. After Old Bai Monkey brought him back to the Azure Snake Tribe, he once recommended him to Yu Lin because of his rare identity as a “ghost adept”. Afterwards, Yu Lin nodded and officially accepted this rookie.
After a moment of silence, Yu Lin’s faint voice sounded, “Get up.”
Only then did Shen Shi and Earth Dog carefully climb up, but they still didn’t dare to look at Yu Lin. Both of them lowered their heads and stood motionlessly with their hands lowered. Yu Lin leaned against the large carved tiger chair. In the shadows, Compared to the plain clothes he wore when commanding the demon army during the day, At this moment, her clothes were much simpler and lighter. She wore a light veil that was as thin as a cicada’s wing. Her aqua-green chest was embroidered with green willows by the river. Her towering chest revealed a large area of plump and attractive white skin, like beautiful snowflakes falling quietly in the darkness. There was also a strange charm that made one’s blood boil.
However, not far away from such a beautiful creature, Shen Shi and Earth Dog felt as if they were facing a great enemy. Sweat slowly oozed out from the corners of their foreheads, and their majestic and powerful bodies tensed up in secret. They didn’t even dare to breathe a mouthful of air.
After a while, she heard Empress Yu Lin say, “Shi Tou, you go ahead.”
Shen Shi lowered his head and said, “Reporting to Your Highness, the White Monkey Elder ordered me to report that Demon race of the Crimson Tiger Clan in the Devil Tiger Stream has been completely captured. However, when he nodded his head, he discovered that a thirteen-year-old Little Tiger Demon named Tu Ya had disappeared. He searched all over the Devil Tiger Stream and found no trace of this little Tiger.”
“Huh?” Yu Lin sat on the big chair, his beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly revealed a cold smile and said, “In this Black hell Mountain, even if he wants to run, there is only one place he can go.” After saying that, he glanced at Shen Shi and said, “Go outside and find the Old Bai Monkey. Tell him to come over and see me.”
Shen Shi nodded in agreement. He respectfully retreated and prepared to leave. However, when he turned around, he suddenly heard Yu Lin’s voice coming from behind. His tone was calm and calm, but there was less cold air in his voice and more warmth. He said,
“Shen Shi, you helped Shi Zhu in the battle against Tu Meng today. You did a good job.”
Shen Shi paused for a moment and turned around to look at the beautiful and gorgeous serpent demon. “Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise. The Little Demon was brought up by Your Highness, so you should go all out to repay Your Highness for your kindness.”
Yu Lin’s snake eyes flashed across Shen Shi’s face, and he didn’t say anything else. He only gently waved his jade hand.
Shen Shi bowed and quietly retreated. When he stepped out of the doorstep, he happened to hear a few words from Yu Lin and Earth Dog in the room.
“What do you have to say?”
“Reporting to Your Highness, I’ve discovered something strange. It’s a little uncertain, so I don’t dare to make a rash decision, so I want to ask Your Highness to tell me.”
“Oh, go ahead.”
“After attacking the Devil Tiger Stream today, I led the little demons all the way into the valley. When we reached the west side of the valley, we caught a red-furred fox demon. I originally wanted to kill it, but who would have thought that after a few interrogations, the fox demon would actually …”
At this point, Shen Shi had already walked out of the door. As for Earth Dog, he seemed to have some misgivings and lowered his voice a lot. It was because Shen Shi did not hear what was said behind him. However, Shen Shi didn’t care. At this moment, his First Grade human race was actually hiding in Demon race. The dangers were unpredictable and dangerous. If he accidentally revealed his identity, he would be annihilated. Sometimes, it was a way to protect himself by listening less and speaking less.
Walking out of the big house, he reached into his arms and carried the Little Hei pig out. That day, the entire family of the stone-skinned pig was buried by a landslide triggered by Yu Lin. Shen Shi felt compassion for the pig and brought the Little Hei pig back. It was just that the Little Hei pig had just been born, and its body was still very young. It looked extremely sleepy. It often slept for a whole day. When it woke up, it randomly ate some food that Shen Shi had found for it. It also covered its head and fell asleep. At this moment, it was also snoring lightly, sleeping very soundly.
Shen Shi smiled and gently touched the Little Hei pig’s head. Then, he put it back into the specially-made bag in his arms. Then, he looked around and walked around the Demon Tiger Stream Valley. He casually caught a passing demon and asked about the whereabouts of the Old Bai monkey. However, the demon didn’t know about it either. Under the chaos of war, it was difficult to find anyone. Shen Shi wasn’t angry either. He continuously asked a few little demons who were passing by. Finally, he heard from a cat demon that the Old Bai monkey seemed to have appeared in the southeast direction of the Devil Tiger Stream, so he took large strides towards that direction.

The Devil Tiger Stream had been run by the Scarlet Flame Tiger Demon Clan It was also quite impressive. Although many houses and buildings had been slaughtered and destroyed after the Azure Skysnake Demon attacked, the Demon Tiger Stream’s territory was not small. In places where there weren’t many chaotic soldiers, there were still quite a few tall and neat houses left. They had only been looted by demon soldiers and not burned down.
Beneath a stone wall in the southeast, seven or eight houses were connected together. They looked relatively intact. Moreover, looking at the tall and imposing front of the door, there was a huge statue of the Scarlet Flame Tiger that was unique to the Scarlet Flame Tiger Clan. It was conceivable that the status of the original owner of the mansion was not low. However, under the nest, there were no eggs left. All of the demon soldiers entering and leaving this place were from the Azure Snake Demon Clan. Although the number was much smaller than at the entrance of the valley, they all came and went in high spirits. There were quite a few baggages in their hands. It seemed that most of them were collected from these old Tiger Demon houses.
Shen Shi turned a blind eye to the surrounding small demon soldiers and walked straight over to the houses. Behind him, the group of little demons didn’t seem to care. In Demon race, the powerful upper echelons treated low-level Demon race this way.
As he walked into the large room, the chaotic noises that had been echoing in his ears suddenly became much quieter. Even though it was only a wall away, it gave off the impression that it had become very far away. As he walked deeper into the mansion, the appearance of the mansion gradually appeared in front of him.
There were many rooms here. Most of the doors were open. Shen Shi swept his gaze over as he walked past. He could see that almost every room was in the same mess. It was obvious that the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Clan’s demon soldiers had just looted them not long ago. It was precisely because of the calamity that the demon soldiers had just suffered that the place became somewhat deserted after most of them left.
A bright moon had already risen into the night sky at some unknown time. The moonlight was cold and cold, sprinkling on this desolate courtyard, adding a bit of bleakness to it.
The corner of Shen Shi’s mouth twitched imperceptibly, and then he expressionlessly continued to walk forward. As they walked past one courtyard after another, the surroundings became quieter and quieter. Originally, there would occasionally be one or two lonely little demon soldiers, but at this time, they were almost invisible.
Only a cold moon in the night sky seemed to be staring coldly at him, drawing a blurry dark shadow for him in this foreign courtyard.
When he walked past the fifth courtyard, which seemed to be the last time he entered the big house, his gaze flickered slightly. Finally, he saw a small room in front of him lit up with a little flame, and a faint shadow emerged from the window. He bent his back and bowed his waist, looking exactly like an ape.
He strode over and pushed open the empty door. With a low creak, the demons in the room turned around. It was the oldest white monkey in the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Clan.
Seeing that it was Shen Shi standing at the door, Old Bai Monkey did not show any surprise. Instead, he waved his hand very casually and said, “Stone, come in, come in.”
Shen Shi walked in. He casually looked at the furnishings in the room and said, The room was small and the furnishings were quite simple. It was just a desk at the window, a tiger-headed chair, and two cabinets at the back. In addition, there was a row of bookshelves erected against the wall. However, it looked messy at the moment. About a hundred books were scattered on the ground. Only a few of them were lying on the bookshelves.
It looked like a rare study room in the demon race.
The old white monkey was currently holding a scroll in his hand. Before Shen Shi arrived, he seemed to be looking at it. At this moment, he said to Shen Shi, “Did you tell Empress Yu Lin about Slaughtering Fang and escaping?”
Shen Shi nodded and said, “Yes, Your Highness asked me to call you to see her.”
Old Bai Monkey nodded, but he did not get up in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the scroll in his hand with a strange expression on his face and said, “Do you know where this place is?”
Shen Shi glanced at the surroundings again, with a somewhat uncertain tone. He hesitated and said, “Looks … like a study room?”
The old white monkey grinned and said, “That’s right, even the study room. You also know that other than those peerless great demons from the Heavenly Yao Royal Court back then, our demons, especially the low-grade ones, like to fight bloody battles the most. With strength as their pride, no one would normally read books.”
After saying that, he looked at Shen Shi with a deep meaning and said, “But you are different.”
Shen Shi remained silent, but he understood what Old Bai Monkey meant. Just as he said earlier, ordinary Demon race, and even most powerful demon generals, were almost brave and ruthless. It wouldn’t be a problem for them to charge into a bloody battle, but it would be even harder for Demon race to read the books carefully.
Among the demon races of the Demon Realm, apart from those high-grade demon races with noble bloodlines, only the Monkey Demon and Fox Demon races were known for their crafty brains. Normally, only some of the demon races from these two races would look at the scrolls that were disdained by the vast majority of the demon races who advocated brute force and martial arts. Hence, when Shen Shi accidentally showed some interest in Scroll, the old white monkey was surprised. It could be said that he was extremely happy. Thus, the relationship between the two of them became much better.
Old Bai Monkey was almost the only person in the Azure Snake Demon Clan that knew that Shen Shi liked to read books. The reason was very simple. It was almost impossible for an ordinary Demon race to come into contact with a scroll that was useless and rare in the Demon Realm most of the time. In the entire Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Clan, apart from the Yu Lin sisters, only the Old Bai Monkey, an old demon, would normally read a few books.
Old Bai Monkey did not sigh for too long about this matter. He looked around and his gaze paused on the scrolls scattered on the ground for a moment. Then he said indifferently, “Before this battle, we had also carefully investigated the Scarlet Flame Tiger Demon’s bloodline. Similarly, there were a lot of brave and ruthless idiots. Normally, no one would read a book.”
“Huh?” Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He looked up at the old white monkey in surprise. Those who could live in such a mansion should have a high status in the Scarlet Tiger Bloodline.
The old white monkey sneered and stood up with a stick. “I’ve already asked the Tiger Demon Clansman who was caught. This is the study room of the escaped Little Tiger Demon, Tu Ya.”
