Killing God - Chapter 145
Chapter 145 Puzzlement
The sudden headache was almost like a sharp axe hitting Shen Shi’s head. The feeling was so intense that Shen Shi almost couldn’t sit upright while staring at him.
After the Heavenly Underworld Curse Secret Technique touched the mysterious acupoint between his eyebrows, The reaction was completely different from the consequences of the ordinary Qi channels around him. It looked like it was going to completely tear open this acupoint. With the center of his eyebrows, Shen Shi felt as if his head was being pushed in all directions by a powerful force, and was about to crack.
Facing this unexpected abnormal situation, Shen Shi was naturally shocked. He subconsciously wanted to stop the operation of the Heavenly Nether Curse. However, at this moment, the ball of spiritual energy that had been quietly lying at the acupoint of his eyebrows and heart suddenly started to stir. It seemed that he had sensed the magic power of the Heavenly Nether Curse and slowly expanded.
As the Qi ball spread out, Shen Shi suddenly felt that the pain had dissipated a lot. At the same time, he could vaguely sense that whether it was the original Spiritual Energy or the new Heavenly Nether Curse, they seemed to be trying to enlarge this acupoint in his forehead and heart.
His heart skipped a beat. At the same time, he also felt that the intense headache was beginning to fade away. It was not unbearable at this moment. He gritted his teeth and continued to persevere. At the same time, he concentrated on looking between his eyebrows. Sure enough, after a while, under the dual pressure, the acupoint in his eyebrows, which had not moved since its formation, seemed to show signs of loosening.
However, after a few strikes, it seemed that these new energies were not enough to shake the acupoints in his eyebrows and heart apertures. Therefore, the spiritual energy quickly quieted down. After a moment of submergence, Shen Shi quickly saw that the condensed spiritual energy had also started to collapse inwards.
Because of the scene he had experienced in his Qi channels, Therefore, Shen Shi had a premonition in his heart. At this moment, he was even more focused on casting his spell. He carefully observed it. Sure enough, under the urging of the Heavenly Nether Curse, the Spiritual Energy at his Eyebrow Heart Aperture seemed to have undergone a period of tempering. Although the total amount of Spiritual Energy did not increase or decrease in the slightest, it seemed to be slightly smaller in shape, and some of the Spiritual Energy had become even more solid and heavy.
It was as if a few strands of spiritual energy had been gathered together by a strange power, gathering into an even more powerful Spiritual Energy.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Shi, who had been sitting tensely on the spot, slowly relaxed. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, he was pondering for a moment. Whether it was the spiritual energy in an ordinary qi vein or the spiritual energy in the acupoints of his eyebrows and heart, what had happened after he activated the Heavenly Nether Curse was basically the same. It seemed that the effect of the Heavenly Nether Curse was to refine and condense the spiritual energy in his body?
However, what use would this have? Shen Shi searched his surroundings, but he still couldn’t find any clues …

Within Phoenix Cry City, outside the secret room in the mountain abdomen, the old white monkey carried a large cloth bag and leaned on a walking stick as he walked over from afar. From afar, he saw a group of demons gathered outside the secret room’s mountain abdomen passageway, trying to mess with something.
When he approached, a group of Azure Snake Guards had installed a thick stone door into the secret door. At this moment, it seemed that it was almost ready. A group of half-human and half-snake Snake Demons were hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph.
The old white monkey looked at it for a while and asked curiously, “Didn’t this secret door already be repaired? What are you doing?”
The group of Azure Snake Guards were sweating profusely, Most ignored him, There was a snake demon that he had known for a long time, He spat out the snake letter and said with a “sizzling” sound, He said angrily, “Isn’t it all because of the newly arrived black fox, inexplicably said to the empress that the secret door here is too unsafe, once found out, can easily break into, it is better to install a thick stone door, if there is a change, inside or outside as long as someone first shut the stone door, at least can block the enemy for a while, so reinforcements naturally arrived. Bah, this is a good situation. Even Black Phoenix Demon race has been chased away by us. How could there be any enemies running over? ”
The old white monkey laughed loudly and walked around the Azure Snake Guards, who were filled with resentment because they had delayed their work and looted the place, into the secret room.
Not long after, he walked to the secret room in the mountainside where the tiny teleportation array was hidden. Shen Shi and the Little Hei pig were the only ones in the secret room. The Little Hei pig was still asleep on the ground, while Shen Shi was leaning against a golden fetal stone. He looked listless and seemed to be deep in thought. At the same time, he was holding a broken piece of old paper in his hand. Occasionally, his gaze would glance upwards.
The old white monkey walked over with a smile and greeted him. Shen Shi raised his head. Seeing that it was the old white monkey, a smile appeared on his face. He casually tucked the broken piece of paper into his arms and then got up and walked over. The old white monkey threw the big bag in his hand in front of him, and it immediately crashed. It fell out of the bag and looked like there were at least a hundred books. In the blink of an eye, it piled up into a small mountain of books on the ground. At the same time, it smiled and said, “So many books are enough for you to read for the next few days.”
Shen Shi laughed heartily and did not stand on ceremony with him. He walked to the pile of books on the ground and squatted down, searching through the pile of books with great interest.
Old Bai Monkey leaned on his walking stick and walked to the side of another Golden Embryo Stone. Like Shen Shi, he sat on the ground without any hesitation. Then, he chuckled and took out an item from his bosom. He said to Shen Shi, “Guess what I found in the city ahead of me?”
Shen Shitou’s nose twitched, but this time, he sniffed it out and smiled, “Good fellow, I actually found you another wine?” However, when his gaze landed on the item in Old Bai Monkey’s hand, he couldn’t help but be stunned. It wasn’t a wine jar that was usually filled with wine, but a wine gourd that looked much smaller. “Why is there such a thing? But it’s too small. I’m afraid it won’t be enough for you to drink how much wine it can hold.”
The old white monkey smiled proudly and took a sip of the wine gourd. A moment later, it revealed a satisfied expression. It seemed to have an endless aftertaste. Then, it tilted its eyes at Shen Shi and said, “Do you want to give it a try?”
Shen Shi shook his head and said, “No, it’s too sour.”
The old white monkey rolled his eyes at him and said, “Idiot, Phoenix Cry City is the most prosperous city in the Black hell Mountain for hundreds of years. Is the wine in this city comparable to the bad wine from the wild mountains like the Devil Tiger Stream?”
“Huh?” When Shen Shi heard this, he felt that it made sense. He felt a little tempted and curious for a moment. He took the wine gourd handed over by Old Bai Monkey and opened his mouth to take a sip.
A moment later, Shen Shi’s brows furrowed as he looked at the expression on his face that he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The old white monkey didn’t care. He took the wine gourd back and asked him with a smile, “How is it?”
Shen Shi glanced at him and his mouth twitched. After a while, he finally said reluctantly, “Alright, this wine … isn’t that sour.”
Old Bai Monkey snorted and said angrily, “It’s good to have some. Do you know how much effort I spent to find this little bit of wine in the cellar of the Black Phoenix Mansion? I can’t tell you have a good taste.” However, as he spoke, he seemed to have some emotions and sighed, “Sigh, if I can drink the’flower sculpture ‘brewed by humans again, I will truly die without regrets.”
Shen Shi sneered and said, “These drinks are either sour to the point of losing teeth, or sour to the point of not losing teeth so much. Just this flavor is not enough for people to say. I can only say that Old Monkey, you should just drink vinegar directly.”
The old white monkey rolled its eyes and waved its hand. “Go, go and read your book. I’m still reluctant to give this wine to anyone else.”
Shen Shi lowered his head with a smile and continued reading. Old Bai Monkey did not have the intention to stand up. He just sat there happily and drank a mouthful of sour wine from time to time. The monkey shook its head slightly. Not long after, it slowly hummed a tune.
As Shen Shi flipped through the book, he listened to this song. He quickly recognized from the deja vu tune that this was the ancient song that Old Bai Monkey had sung to him in the past during the Heavenly Yao Royal Court.
Splitting Heaven and Earth … Breaking Primordial Chaos … Saint Demon Existence … Wan Shining …
The world of laughter … is filled with ants … but my demon … is eternal …
Ancient and desolate songs echoed in the same old voice. Gradually, the other voices in the secret room seemed to gradually disappear. Only this ancient song, which had once been prominent in the past but had now been completely erotic and mournful, echoed in a low voice.
In the world beneath the azure sky, there seemed to be no place for this ancient song anymore. Only in this cold and hard stone wall, there was an old monkey quietly chanting when no one was around.
Pijian Rui … Slash the enemy’s head … Blood surging … Thirsty General …
The boundless melody gradually descended. Even Old Bai Monkey seemed to be tired. It was unknown if humming this ancient song made him feel a little tired. When he finally stopped singing, he took a big sip of wine, then closed his eyes and leaned against the Golden Embryo Stone. However, he did not say anything for a long time.
There was a moment of silence in the secret room. Shen Shi flipped through another volume. Discovering that he wasn’t too interested in the contents, he casually threw them aside and looked at Old Bai Monkey. Seeing that the old man was still in that state, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked him a question. He thought that the old man’s mind was extremely heavy, so it was better to change the topic first.
“Old monkey, do you have nothing to do outside? Why are you staying here all the time?”
Old Bai Monkey opened his eyes and curled his lips. “There are a lot of things going on outside. Everyone is busy trying their best to steal things.”
Shen Shi smiled. He stood up and stretched. He walked a few steps around the Golden Embryo Stone of the teleportation formation. He waved his arm at the same time and moved his body. However, as he walked, his heart moved. He turned around and said to Old Bai Monkey, “Old Monkey, there is something I have been wanting to ask you about in my heart. However, I haven’t had the chance to ask you for advice the other day.”
The old white monkey frowned and raised his eyes to look at him, saying, “What’s the matter, look at your serious appearance?”
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment and said, “Have you ever seen a human before? What exactly does a human look like?”
The old white monkey was stunned and asked curiously, “Alright, why are you thinking about this?”
Shen Shi didn’t answer him. He only urged him. Old Bai Monkey thought for a moment and said, “I told you about the human race long ago. After the human demon war, all the remaining humans in the Demon Realm were killed. Therefore, let alone me, not a single Demon race in the Demon Realm has ever seen a human before.” After pausing for a moment, he seemed to be pondering his words for a moment before continuing, “As for the appearance of the human race, you only need to look at Empress Yu Lin or the old black phoenix of the Black Phoenix Demon race. Basically, once we reach the Earth Demon Realm, our Demon race will remove all traces of demonic beasts and transform into a truly complete human form.”
“Pa!” Suddenly, Shen Shi clapped heavily and shouted, “That’s right, this is it.”
Old Bai Monkey was shocked by him. He almost lost the wine gourd in his hand. He hurriedly grabbed onto the wine gourd and sat down. Then, he glared at the stupid pig that looked a little excited and said in shock, “What are you crazy about?”
However, Shen Shi looked at him and asked with a puzzled expression, “Old Monkey, I’ve thought about this before. I’m very puzzled. You said that Demon race is the first race to be favored by the Saint Demons, ruling over all bloodlines. Isn’t that right?”
The Old Bai Monkey nodded heavily and said, “That’s right!”
Shen Shi stared at him and said, “Then why is it that the higher the cultivation level of our demon race, the more it looks like a human race? Isn’t this …”
At that end of the question, Shen Shi’s voice was involuntarily lowered. Furthermore, he saw that the old white monkey’s face quickly darkened. He looked at the anger on his face. After a while, Shen Shi discovered that the old white monkey was silent on its own. It didn’t seem to have answered his question. He couldn’t help but feel a little worried. He probed and shouted again,
“Old monkey, did I say something wrong just now?”
Old Bai Monkey snorted and said, “Nonsense, of course you’re wrong, and it’s a big mistake. Why is Demon race inferior to humans? The higher we cultivate, the more we look like humans? Let me tell you, if you were in the Heavenly Yao Royal Court for thousands of years, just these few words would be enough to tie you to the ‘Hongjun Pillar’ outside the Demon Imperial Palace of Tianhong City and burn you alive.”
Shen Shi subconsciously shrank his neck. Although he knew that what the old monkey was saying was only a joke and had no real meaning, he could not help but feel an inexplicable chill in his heart when he thought back to that era.
After a pause, Old Bai Monkey seemed to feel that what he said just now was a bit excessive. He coughed twice and his expression eased up. However, his expression was still somewhat serious. He said seriously to Shen Shi, “What you said just now is extremely inappropriate. The Human and Demon Races are endless enemies of blood. If you go out and talk nonsense, you will probably cause great trouble. You must be careful in the future.”
Shen Shi nodded.
After a moment of silence, Old Bai Monkey said indifferently, “The Hongmeng Hundred Clans were all created by our ancestor, the Saint Demon Emperor. Of course, I, Demon race, am the leader.” The Divine Demon Emperor has bestowed on me Demon race an extraordinary talent that far surpasses other races. This is ironclad evidence, so there is no need to say anything else. As for its appearance, it is similar to that of a human. You must remember that it was the grace that the Saint Ancestor Emperor bestowed upon the human race when he created the Primordial Chaos Hundred Races in the past. Based on the appearance of one or two Heavenly Yao, he created the appearance of a human race. However, the human race is so weak and will be ungrateful in the future. It is simply not worthy of this grace. You only need to remember one thing. My Demon race was born to be extremely noble and a hundred times stronger than humans. ”
Shen Shi nodded silently after a moment of silence. “So it’s the human race that looks like the demon race?”
After saying those words, the atmosphere unconsciously turned cold. Old Bai Monkey drank another two mouthfuls of wine and wanted to leave. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard Shen Shi sitting there and suddenly asked another question, “Old Monkey, have all the humans in our Demon Realm been killed back then?”
The old white monkey’s heart suddenly surged with anger. On this day, he heard this human topic and felt a little irritated. He snorted coldly and his expression turned cold. He said, “How many times have I told you? I’ve already killed them all.”
However, the expression on Shen Shi’s face seemed a little strange. He seemed to be hesitant and confused. After a moment of hesitation, he still said,
“That’s strange. On the night of the siege, I seem to have seen a human child …”
