Killing God - Chapter 118
Chapter 118 Ancient Music of the Past
The Azure Snake Demon Army led by the old white monkey said, After settling down at the foot of the mountain of the civet tribe, This was completely different from the time when the demon tribes had fought each other for many years, when they would charge into a bloody battle naked. Although under the orders of the old White Monkey General, the little demons in the demon army were still obediently staying in the barracks, some private discussions and discontent could still be heard from time to time.
Someone was puzzled, There are some who are aggressive and unbearable, Most of them were secretly mocking and mocking the Old Bai monkeys, In the past, in the Heavenly Azure Snake Demon Tribe, many young demon generals didn’t respect the old Old Bai Monkey. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Azure Snake Master, Empress Yu Lin, treated him exceptionally well and valued him because he was an old official, it was likely that the Old Bai Monkey would have been kicked away by these young and strong rising stars long ago.
This time, the Azure Snake Tribe had defeated the Scarlet Tiger Tribe and annihilated them. The morale of the entire army was incomparably high. All of the young demon generals wished they could immediately kill the Black Water River and charge towards Phoenix Cry City, where the Black Phoenix Tribe was located, annihilating the number one enemy of the Azure Snake Tribe. Who knew why Empress Yu Lin suddenly changed her mind and stopped heading north to attack these inconspicuous tribes on the south bank of the Blackwater River?
I’ve really seen a ghost. Normally, the Azure Snake Tribe doesn’t even look at them properly, so why bother with them? Alright, actually, even if we take down these tribes, we won’t be able to get much out of them. How could we be excited to beat the Black Phoenix?
If they really wanted to take down Fengming City, the Azure Snake Demon Army would be extremely happy from top to bottom. Killing the demons until they were full and robbing the goods until they were soft. Just thinking about it was unbearable, but the result was nothing.
Empress Yu Lin definitely could not and did not dare to complain. There must be some treacherous and foolish fool who had slandered her. Given that every demon general had pleaded for war, it was obvious that the accusation would fall on Old White Monkey’s head.
This old monkey was getting old, and he still didn’t stop. If he didn’t let everyone fight against the black phoenix, then that would be fine. In the end, he brought a group of horses to the foot of the small Spirit Cat Tribe’s mountain. He actually didn’t dare to fight again. Was this fellow Demon race or not?
All sorts of rumors and rumors had spread among the demon army, and Shen Shi had more or less heard some of them. Speaking of which, his current identity in Demon race was the Ghost Wizard Race. Although he didn’t know the origin of this so-called ghost adept at all, he couldn’t care less about the baldy, so he decided to talk about it first. However, after that, he went to inquire about it quietly. Only then did he realize that the so-called Ghost Wizard Clan was actually a rather peculiar clan amongst the many tribes in the Demon Realm.
To some extent, Ghost Magi were different from other Lich Realm clans, There are very few cases of homogeneous settlements, They were often alone, and their inheritance was also very mysterious. It was said that they were all very strange magical techniques. Most of them were poison techniques, Gu techniques, and dark magical techniques. Occasionally, some ghost witches would even use rare ghost summoning techniques to manipulate corpse undead, causing one’s hair to stand on end. It was said that this name was derived from ghost witches.
Even for a cruel and easy-to-kill race like the Demon Race, most people had always respected their companions who belonged to one of the Demon Races for some reason, and even disliked them most.
Shen Shi carried this identity and came to the Azure Snake Tribe. Those demon generals who were higher in cultivation saw that his cultivation was low and didn’t care about him. Ordinary Demon race soldiers were all respectful towards him. However, this saved Shen Shi a lot of trouble. In recent days, the two people he had the best relationship with in Demon race were Old Bai Monkey and Shen Shi, the simple-minded pig demon.
After hearing these rumors, many of them were accidentally heard by him. There was nothing he could do about it. The low-ranked Demon race soldier had brought too many traces of demonic beasts. He did not know how to conceal it at all and complained carelessly and loudly.
Shen Shi counted the days. It had already been three days since he arrived at the foot of the Spirit Cat Tribe’s mountain. So far, the Old Bai Monkey still had no intention of starting a war. There was indeed something wrong. No wonder the little demons were full of complaints. With this thought in his heart, he decided to ask the Old Bai Monkey to see what his plans were.
Shen Shi first went to Old Bai Monkey’s residence in the barracks. In the end, he threw himself into the air, The Old Bai Monkey is not here, He looked for the little demon guarding him and asked, The little demon soldier had a look of disgust on his face, as if he would be infected by a large pile of poisonous insects and dirt if he spoke to Shen Shi a few more words. Shen Shi struggled to find out where Old Bai Monkey seemed to have gone to rest with the wine jar in his arms. Looking in that direction, it seemed to be the small forest he had gone to a few days ago.
He then turned around and left, ignoring the relieved little demon behind him. Along the way, he arrived at the edge of the forest. He raised his eyes and saw that there was indeed no one around. He did not see the figure of the Old Bai Monkey. Shen Shi frowned. Just as he was wondering if he wasn’t here, he suddenly heard a deep and hoarse song coming from the depths of the forest.
Splitting Heaven and Earth … Breaking Primordial Chaos … Saint Demon Existence … Wan Shining …
The singer’s voice was hoarse like a black crow, low and unpleasant, However, for some reason, Shen Shi stopped and listened attentively. After the first few sentences, the song behind him suddenly became loud. Although it was still hoarse, it had an ancient and boundless aura. It was even more generous and heroic. It revealed a trace of arrogance that looked down on the world. After millions of years, the morale of the past was still before him.
The world of laughter … is filled with ants … but my demon … is eternal …
Pijian Rui … Slash the enemy’s head … Blood surging … Thirsty General …
…
He turned around two large trees and saw an old, stooped figure holding the wine jar beneath the tree trunk. He slapped the mouth of the jar with one hand and sang softly while raising his head. The old monkey’s face was solemn and solemn as he stared into the distant sky. There was a slight flash of light in the corner of his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about the past of his ancestors. He could not help but immerse himself in it.
Shen Shi silently stared at him. After a while, he coughed lightly.
The old white monkey’s body trembled. He turned around and looked at him. He was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face. He waved to Shen Shi and said, “Little Stone, come over.” As he spoke, he rubbed his eyes casually and wiped away the sparkling water stain.
Shen Shi walked to Old Bai Monkey and sat down under another tree opposite him. He frowned and said, “What did you call me just now? Why did you suddenly call me a little stone instead of a good stone?”
Old Bai Monkey chuckled and said, “You fellow, how long has it been since you were brought out of Black hell Mountain? I’ve at least survived for a hundred and one years. What’s there to call you Little Stone?”
Shen Shi rolled his eyes at him, speechless for a moment. In terms of lifespan alone, because Demon race’s physique was innately strong, he would actually live longer than ordinary humans. Not to mention those high-grade Demon race bloodlines, even low-grade ordinary Demon race usually had a lifespan that was more than twice that of ordinary humans.
However, the current war in the Demon Realm was chaotic, and bloody battles were common. If most of the demon races did not die in battle, it would be very easy for them to suffer injuries, large or small, for various reasons. Most of them would find it difficult to live past fifty or sixty years of age. That was why it was rare for an old white monkey to have a hundred and ten-year-old person like him.
However, Shi Zhu had no choice but to say helplessly, “Whatever you want. By the way, were you humming and chirping like you were singing just now? Who would have thought that you would actually have the ability to do so?”
Most of the ordinary demons escaped from the vulgar habits of demonic beasts, Shen Shi had never heard of a hobby like songs that clearly belonged to elegant sentiments. Normally, in the life of the demons, he would often hear each other shouting angrily, “I’ll skin you, tear off your bones, and snatch your wife to give birth to my babies …”
Old Bai Monkey wasn’t in a hurry to answer, but he first asked him, “How do you feel after listening to this song?”
Shen Shi said seriously, “It’s ugly, very ugly!”
“Pa!” Old Bai Monkey directly smashed the wine jar in his hand. Shen Shi laughed and easily caught it. Originally, he wanted to take a sip, but as soon as he approached his face, he felt a wave of sour air pouring down on his face. He immediately gave up this thought and casually tossed the wine jar back to Old Bai Monkey. He smiled and said,
“What’s wrong with your stupid voice? Speaking of which, I have never heard you humming before. What is this tune?”
The old white monkey caught the wine jar and took a sip. “This is a song passed down from the ancient demon race. It is said that it was once the song of the army of the Heavenly Demon Court when the Heavenly Demon Court was at its peak.”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment before slowly nodding his head. “No wonder, although your voice is not good, that song just now sounded like it has an extraordinary aura.”
The old white monkey sighed. A look of nostalgia appeared on his face as he whispered, “I once saw from the scroll that in the past, when the royal court was strong, the demon army swept across the world and swept the entire world. Every time they went out, the soldiers chanted this military song in unison. Their momentum was like crazy, shocking mountains and rivers, and the younger generation looked overwhelming.”
As he spoke, his voice gradually grew louder. It was as if there was still some boiling hot blood left in his old body. An old monkey’s face also revealed a hint of excitement. Shen Shi looked at him from the side, speechless.
The corner of the old white monkey’s eyes lit up as he saw Shen Shi’s calm expression. His voice abruptly stopped. After a while, he whispered, “You don’t understand this, do you?”
Shen Shi said honestly, “Yes, no one has ever told me before.”
The old white monkey’s lips twitched a few times, and there was a trace of pain on his face. However, he still let out a long sigh and said, “I don’t blame you. In this demon race, there aren’t many people who still remember what happened back then.”
Shen Shi looked at Old Bai Monkey with a gloomy expression. Those deep wrinkles seemed to be squeezed together. For some reason, he suddenly couldn’t bear it anymore and changed the topic. He said, “Oh right, old monkey, we’ve been stationed here for three days now. Why hasn’t there been a war yet? What exactly do you mean?”
Old Bai Monkey seemed to be slightly stunned, as if he hadn’t expected Shen Shi to suddenly ask this question. He first glanced at him, then pondered for a moment before saying, “What, do you want to fight like those simple-minded fellows?”
Of course, Shen Shi immediately shook his head and said, “No, I just don’t understand what we’re waiting for here.”
Old Bai Monkey snorted and said, “Have you seen how our demon realm tribes are fighting these days?”
Without waiting for Shen Shi to reply, the old white monkey sneered before continuing to answer his own questions. “Right now, it sounds better to say that our demon race wins battles with strength, and rarely uses any tricks or tricks. Everyone will use their true swords and spears to fight a decisive battle,” said the old white monkey. “But if it’s ugly, it’s just two bunches of simple-minded, empty, and brute force idiots rushing to a certain battlefield. Then, they shouted and waved their weapons and rushed forward, killing each other to determine the outcome of the battle, right?”
Shen Shi opened his mouth slightly. He looked at the old white monkey in shock for a moment, but he didn’t expect the old monkey to speak so harshly. Although in his heart, there was actually a bit of agreement.
The old white monkey sighed. “Back then, when the Heavenly Yao Royal Court was at its peak, The demon army swept across the world, Needless to say, It was then that the famous Heavenly Yao general, He was also a peerless genius with unparalleled wisdom, How is that possible … Look at these demon soldiers and demon generals, After trapping the Demon Realm for ten thousand years, the Dao of Lower Realm has not only failed to fight for strength, but has instead deteriorated to an unbearable level. Looking at these demon soldiers, how could there be the slightest shadow of the formidable demon army that dominated Primordial Chaos in the hands of the eight peerless Heavenly Demon Kings under the Heavenly Demon King Court of the past? ”
“They’re simply a bunch of walking trash!” Finally, the Old Bai monkey gritted its teeth and came to a conclusion.
Shen Shi laughed dryly. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t think much of it in his heart. However, he wasn’t Demon race. Demon race’s decline in strength was a great thing for his human race. If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t be presumptuous in front of Old Bai Monkey, he would have wanted to laugh out loud.
Shen Shi forcefully suppressed his laughter and coughed twice. After thinking for a while, he said, “Uh … Old Monkey, what do you mean by saying so much?”
Old Bai Monkey looked at Shen Shi meaningfully and said, “Didn’t you see me sending people up the mountain to persuade the civet race to surrender these past few days?”
Shen Shi was stunned, “I know, but isn’t it useless? He was chased down the mountain two days ago, and was sent back today?”
Old Bai Monkey sneered and said seriously, “Kid, you learn a bit. I have read many scrolls. It has long been clear that the supreme general of the ancient era is a soldier who defeats others without a fight. He is a soldier who defeats others without a fight.” Now that our army is overwhelmed, Although there was only the Green Snake, But against the civet bloodline, it was already crushing, After carefully analyzing the situation and calculating the way forward for their clan, I have once again sent this comprehensive plan up the mountain to persuade them to surrender. Not a short while later, there will definitely be news of a victory. I can take another helping hand for the Empress, instead of rushing over to kill all the enemies like those other idiots. What’s the use of that? Stupid, stupid, stupid! ”
Old Bai Monkey looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back. His expression was filled with excitement, as if he had suddenly become tens of years younger. He even ended his words with three consecutive words of “stupid”. Shen Shi was momentarily suppressed by his imposing aura and subconsciously nodded.
As the two of them were talking, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the woods. At the same time, someone outside shouted in a hurry, “Lord White Monkey, Lord White Monkey …”
The old white monkey laughed heartily and said to Shen Shi, “It’s a messenger. This is coming right away. It can be seen that I expected it.”
As he spoke, he walked out of the forest with Shen Shi. As expected, there was a small demon soldier standing there. Seeing Old Bai Monkey come out, he quickly knelt down. His expression was hurried and he said angrily, “Lord White Monkey, the messenger who went up the mountain to persuade him to surrender …”
The old white monkey laughed loudly and said, “Is he back? Where is he now?”
The little demon was stunned for a moment and said, “He’s dead.”
The Old Bai Monkey was stunned and said, “What?”
Little Demon opened a cloth bag beside him, and a head rolled out of it. It was the messenger sent out this morning. Blood flowed and dyed the mouth of the surrounding bag red. Then, Little Demon seemed to hesitate for a moment and wanted to say something.
Old Bai Monkey obviously did not expect this situation. He did not regain his senses for a while. Shen Shi calmed down a little. Seeing the little demon’s expression, he hurriedly asked, “What else? Tell me quickly?”
The little demon sneaked a glance at the Old Bai Monkey and said, “This head was thrown down from the mountain by the Spirit Cat Tribe. At the same time, the people over there shouted for someone to send a message saying yes …”
At this point, Little Demon was suddenly reluctant to say anything. Only then did Old Bai Monkey react. His old face flushed red. At this moment, he was even angrier. He shouted, “Hurry up and tell me, what did those daring idiots say?”
Little Demon’s neck shrank, and then he finally said loudly, “They cursed on the mountain, ‘If you want to fight, fight! Surrender to your mother!'”
The forest was instantly silent. Shen Shi almost laughed out loud after his initial shock. He hurriedly turned his head. Suddenly, he couldn’t bear to look at Old Bai Monkey’s ashen face.
