Killing God - Chapter 114
Chapter 114 Deep Enmity Of Blood
Shen Shi was shocked. His entire body suddenly tensed up. He stood up with a “hu” sound. At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. With a slight movement of his fingers, he took out a talisman and held it in his hand.
The wind that he forcefully stood up caused the candlelight to flutter wildly, bringing along the afterimages in the room. Amidst the dim light, Shen Shi could clearly see that Old Bai Monkey was standing behind him. He was shocked and quickly retracted his strength. However, that force was too strong, and even his body staggered.
Old Bai Monkey looked at him with great interest, and then glanced at the talisman that suddenly appeared in his hand. The killing intent on Shen Shi’s body dissipated. He looked up at Old Bai Monkey and smiled bitterly, “Old Monkey, don’t play such a joke. It will scare people to death.”
Old Bai Monkey snorted and looked at Shen Shi up and down. Then, he pulled the tiger-headed chair over and sat down. He smiled and said, “You didn’t know who it was, so you attacked ruthlessly?”
Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and did not reply. Surviving in Demon race was not easy, especially in Demon race, where the Black hell Mountain was located. Most of them were brave, ruthless, and vulgar people. Many battles, even if they were quarrels in the same camp, could turn into bloody battles with real knives and guns. In the past two months, he had committed himself to the Azure Snake Tribe. He had seen many things like this, and there were quite a few difficulties. Moreover, he was currently in the Devil Tiger Stream. Not long ago, he was still in the territory of the Scarlet Tiger Tribe. Even if one or two fish that had escaped the net suddenly jumped out to fight for their lives, it did not seem strange. Therefore, it was better to be careful.
However, at this moment, he also secretly felt a bit of introspection in his heart. He would never be so careless, No matter what, he would still pay attention to his surroundings. However, it was obvious that he had forgotten this point just now. He didn’t know if the contents of that book had truly shocked him too much, or if he truly longed to return to the human race from the bottom of his heart. This was the reason why he couldn’t help but fall deep into it and couldn’t extricate himself from it.
The old white monkey looked at him in a daze. He couldn’t help but shake his head. Then, he swept the corner of his eyes and saw that Shen Shi was holding a book in his other hand. He wanted to take a look. Seeing the words “Human Reading Notes” written on the cover, he curled his lips and said with a trace of disdain,
“There’s no point in reading this book.”
“Huh?” Shen Shi was stunned for a moment and said, “What’s wrong with this book?”
“There’s nothing written in it. All that’s left is cursing.” The old white monkey said indifferently. He casually tossed the book onto the desk. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked up at Shen Shi and said, “What, do you seem to be interested in humans?”
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat, but he immediately nodded and said in the same tone as usual, “Yes.”
Old Bai sneered. Looking at it with disapproval, “How could a little demon like you be so curious about these things,” he said, pausing for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he bent down and searched through the pile of scattered old books on the ground. After a moment, he found two old books from the pile and threw them to the pig demon. He said indifferently, “Anyway, you are idle. If you really want to read about the human race, then read these two books.”
Shen Shi lowered his head and looked at the two scrolls in his hand. One of the scrolls was written with the Big Defying Sinner’s Record, and the other was The Last Years of War of the Royal Court.
Holding these two books, he gently stroked them with his hand. The rough and thick leather seemed to feel a little like sand. It seemed that the paper materials used in the scrolls of the Demon Realm were not particularly good. They were far inferior to those of the human race, so Shen Shi could hardly feel the texture of these scrolls. After a moment of silence, he couldn’t help but raise his head to look at the Old Bai Monkey and say, “Old Monkey, have you ever seen a human after living for so long?”
The old white monkey looked at him helplessly and said, “No matter how long I can live, can I still live for tens of thousands of years? Back then, the Saint King’s Court was defeated in the final battle and was forced to destroy the Dark Underworld Pagoda to block the pursuit of humans and retreat into the Demon Realm. After that, no humans have appeared in the Demon Realm.”
Shen Shi nodded silently. Suddenly, he remembered something. He raised his head and frowned. After a moment of hesitation, his face showed some hesitation. However, he finally asked Old Bai Monkey, “I know that there are no humans in the Demon Realm now, but did no humans live in this Demon Realm before? Or …”
The old white monkey said indifferently, “The human race does not have any other abilities. However, the matter of giving birth to cubs is the best in the world. It is ten times more powerful than the most capable pig and demon among demonic beasts. Therefore, the total population of the human race has always exceeded that of all races combined.” Compared to our demon race alone, the number of humans is more than a thousand times larger than our demon race. The old white monkey pondered for a moment before saying, “If I remember correctly, there were at least tens of millions of humans who were slaves in the Demon Realm back then.”
Hearing this, Shen Shi’s body trembled slightly for some unknown reason. Even his face turned slightly pale as he whispered, “That means our Demon Realm originally belonged to the human race, but after that human-demon war, it …”
“Kill them all!” The old white monkey said expressionlessly.
④
In the middle of the moon, clear light fell. The Devil Tiger Stream looked like a fierce tiger sleeping peacefully in the night.
Shen Shi and the old white monkey walked along the road in the valley and left the house. The difference was that Shen Shi did not change when he came, but there was a big bag on the old white monkey’s shoulder. It was so bulging that it was unknown what was inside.
Along the way, Shen Shi was extremely silent. In the depths of his heart, it was still like a torrent that couldn’t suppress the shock in his heart. In that simple sentence, 10,000 years ago, in this vast land of the Demon Realm, there was such a cruel and boundless bloody slaughter. The hatred between the human and demon races could only be described as deep enmity in the sea of blood.
No wonder, even though he was a human, no one in the Demon Realm would think that he was a human. At most, they could only speculate that he was a human-like tribe among the demons.
The reason for that was because in the past 10,000 years, there were no human beings in the Demon Realm.
After walking a short distance out of the door, Shen Shi glanced at the Old Bai Monkey. He saw that the old monkey was carrying a big bag with one hand on his crutch and the other on his back. He looked rather embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he reached out to take the bag from the Old Bai Monkey and carried it behind him.
Old Bai Monkey stood and gasped a few times. He chuckled and said, “You still have some eyesight. You’re not stupid enough.” As he spoke, he shook his hands and rubbed his shoulders. There was a hint of helplessness on his face, as if he was complaining that his body was already so old and weak.
Shen Shi ignored the joke in the old monkey’s words. He only frowned and said, “You don’t snatch anything. Every time you win the battle, you specifically look for these scrolls. What’s the point of doing this?”
Old Bai Monkey grinned, revealing a few broken teeth. He smiled and said, “This book is a good thing. After reading it, you can still understand a lot of things. Unfortunately, there are too many idiots in Demon race. There are too few who have the mood to read it.” As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Shi and said, “You like reading. This is a good thing.”
Shen Shi was silent for a while, but his expression was still a little faint. After a while, he whispered, “Wait for me to finish reading these two books, then I’ll go to your place to change a few more.”
Old Bai Monkey nodded and said, “That’s easy to say.” However, at this point, a trace of worry appeared in his monkey’s eyes. He looked at Shen Shi and said, “However, you should read less recently. Cultivate more. Don’t accidentally lose your life. No matter how many books you read, you won’t be able to read anymore.”
Shen Shi nodded, but there was nothing else.
The old white monkey looked at his seemingly disapproving expression and sighed. “Don’t you believe it? With the current situation here in Black hell Mountain, our Azure Snake bloodline and the Black Phoenix Monstrous Clan in the north are in a difficult situation. I’m afraid this battle is unavoidable. I don’t know when a war will start.”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment before he said, “We just captured the Devil Tiger Stream. Isn’t Your Highness going to rest for a while?”
Old Bai shook his head. After pondering for a moment, he said, “It’s not easy to say. In my opinion, it’s best not to go to the north bank of the Blackwater River to fight against the Black Phoenix Tribe first. Seizing the opportunity to destroy the Scarlet Tiger Tribe, the south bank of the Blackwater River is no longer invincible. We should unify the south bank’s territory first and then head north at the right time.” A hint of helplessness flashed across his old monkey’s face as he sighed, “But even so, our Azure Snake bloodline has indeed been suppressed for too long. Many of the young demon generals under the Empress’ command are now boiling with blood. I’m afraid they all wish to immediately kill the Blackwater River and fight the Black Phoenix.” Whether the Empress can suppress the battle intent of these ferocious subordinates and wait for a while longer is really hard to say.
Shen Shi remained silent for a moment and said, “Is the Black Phoenix Clan much more powerful than the Demon race we encountered before?”
The old white monkey nodded and said, “A lot more powerful.”
“Black hell Mountain is not a particularly wealthy place in the Demon Realm, but the Black Phoenix Clan has occupied the position of local overlord for more than five hundred years and has a deep foundation. We absolutely cannot underestimate it. In past battles, although we won more and lost less against other Demon race, the biggest reason is that Empress Yu Lin’s Heaven’s Path genius has reached the Earth Demon realm, which is only inferior to the peerless Heavenly Yao. She has vast divine abilities and is invincible as a spectator. “But not only are the Black Phoenix Clan’s demon armies not inferior to ours, they are also at the Earth Demon Realm. One of them is the old Black Phoenix that is in charge of the Black Phoenix Clan.”
Shen Shi remained silent. As a “member” of the Azure Snake Tribe, he naturally had some understanding of the basic situation of Demon race in Black hell Mountain. He knew that what the Old Bai Monkey had just said was true, and because of some well-known reasons, the Old Bai Monkey had deliberately said it lightly.
The most obvious example is that, Although the Azure Snake Lord Yu Lin was recognized as a genius of the demon race, and his cultivation had reached the Earth Demon Realm, the old phoenix of the Black Phoenix Demon Race had already reached this realm more than a hundred years ago. If it wasn’t for the fact that the final step to the Heavenly Demon Realm was too difficult, and almost impossible to accomplish by human hands, the old phoenix’s achievements would probably have been more than that.
Once the war started in the future, even if Yu Lin wanted to take action, he would definitely be entangled by the old phoenix of the Black Phoenix Demon race. The demon army that had lost Yu Lin’s protection was obviously no longer as relaxed and at ease as before.
The corner of Shen Shi’s mouth twitched twice. He seemed to vaguely sense the difficult scenes on the battlefield in the future. He couldn’t help but shake his head slightly. He turned to look at the Old Bai Monkey and said softly, “Why don’t you go and persuade the Empress …”
Old Bai Monkey smiled bitterly. He shook his head and said, “Naturally, I will try to persuade her. However, in my opinion, because of the annihilation of the Scarlet Tiger Bloodline today, our morale has greatly increased and our soldiers have used their lives. Many demon generals’ fighting spirit has also greatly increased. I wonder if the Empress herself can control it. Otherwise, the war with the Black Phoenix Tribe will not be delayed. I’m afraid that we will have to advance it. Perhaps it will be right in front of our eyes.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Shi and whispered in a low voice, “The Black Phoenix is no more dangerous than the other Demon race. Once a war breaks out, the danger will far surpass the rest of Demon race. You should be careful on your own. Don’t die on the battlefield for no reason.”
Shen Shi slowly nodded, a trace of worry flashing across his eyes.
Old Bai Monkey looked at his appearance and sighed in his heart. Just as he was about to say something to comfort him, he suddenly sniffed a few times and suddenly became excited. Even his two monkey eyes widened a little. He said with joy, “It smells good. This is … what good wine is there nearby?”
