Killing God - Chapter 155
Chapter 155 Trap
On the west side of the forest was a flat plain. The stream that flowed out of the forest winded around a few small bends and merged into a river that was more than ten zhang wide. The river water was also green and clear, reflecting the blue sky and green trees. It flowed across the plain.
Near the forest on the east bank of the river, There was a human village, Looking at the dozens of households, It should be a medium-sized village, The scenery of the fields and the small river family was originally a peaceful scene, but at this moment, it was shattered by a loud shout. Moreover, tongue flames rose from the roofs of several houses and black smoke floated into the air. This was the reason why the black smoke that Shen Shi and the others saw in the forest earlier came from this.
The village was about several hundred feet away from where Shen Shi and the others walked out of the forest. They could clearly see dozens of tall and strong Gray Lizard demons charging into the human village. They broke through the doors one by one and were looting them wantonly.
Seeing this scene in front of Shen Shi, Old Bai Monkey, and Shi Pig’s eyes, for some reason, they suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity. In the distant Demon Realm, they were also descendants of Demon race in the past. It seemed that everyone looked the same when it came to robbing things.
However, compared to the plundering in the Demon Realm, there would definitely be a large amount of blood flowing from the slaughter. In this village in front of them, even though those Gray Lizard Demon race were also screaming and laughing ferociously as they plundered, for some reason, they didn’t seem to hear the cries of the victims or even screams for mercy.
This was something that Shen Shi and the others, who were accustomed to seeing the scene of the demon realm looting, said, Soon, he noticed something strange. Old Bai Monkey frowned first, but Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He was secretly a little worried. Could it be that all the humans in the village had been killed by these seemingly ferocious Gray Lizard Demon race before they left the forest?
In the past three years, He had experienced countless such looting in the Demon Realm, At first there might be some compassion, But later on, Perhaps his heart had hardened, or whether it was the murderer or the murdered, they were all completely different from his own demon realm, Demon race. Therefore, he had gradually become indifferent to the life and death in his surroundings. No matter how cruel the massacre was, he would only walk away silently. Sometimes, he would even personally take action in order to seize the victory of the Azure Snake Tribe.
In the past three years, the amount of Demon race’s blood stained on his hands was not small. Sometimes, when he was alone in the middle of the night, he would occasionally wonder if he had watched the butcher slaughter the animals when he was young, and even personally killed the animals, which allowed him to merge into the demon realm atmosphere of slaughter so quickly.
However, watching the surrounding Demon race kill each other was completely different from watching the humans being slaughtered by Demon race. For a moment, Shen Shi felt a trace of hostility flash through his heart as he looked at the Grey Lizard Demon race that haunted the village in front of him. His eyes also flashed with an icy coldness.
The Iron Lizard, which had run out of the forest before them, immediately let out a cheer when it saw that its companions were looting the village. Old Bai Monkey and Shen Shi glanced at each other and slowed down their footsteps at the same time, but they slowly walked towards the village.
Shen Shi took a deep breath and took a step forward. He walked to the side of the old white monkey and whispered, “Did you notice?”
The old white monkey was silent for a moment and nodded. “There were no screams. It seemed that the Grey Lizard Monstrous Clans were robbing and didn’t kill anyone … Uh, strange, why didn’t I see anyone in the village at all?”
Shen Shi frowned as he swept his gaze across the village and said, “Could it be that they have already killed all of them?”
The Old Bai Monkey thought for a moment and said with uncertainty, “Since the Iron Lizard said that it would break that defensive formation in the forest, it has only been a short time since then. Logically speaking, it is impossible to kill all of them so quickly.”
Shen Shi’s expression darkened a little. He didn’t speak any further, but instead, he looked at the scene of the burning house looting with wild laughter. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Dozens of feet away, Even if they slow down, But after a while, Still slowly approaching this human village that had been invaded by the demons, Wherever he could see, The scattered houses, the scattered fences, the collapsed doors and windows, It was all traces left behind by the rampage of these demons. Dozens of spirited and sturdy Grey Lizard demons were laughing wildly. They looked incomparably excited. They were carrying large bags of things on their backs. They did not know exactly how many items in the human village were they longing to plunder.
However, a few of the Grey Lizard Monstrous Clans that had run past saw their group of outsiders. They immediately stopped and revealed a hint of vigilance. At the same time, they let out a few sharp whistles, as if it was the usual warning sound of their clan.
When the whistle sounded, The gray lizard tribes that were looting the village were stunned at the same time. Instantly, they all ran towards the entrance of the village. One of them was a tall and robust demon race that was obviously one head taller than the other Gray Lizard demons in the surroundings. He walked out from the crowd and coldly glanced at the old white monkey and the others. Especially when his gaze landed on Shen Shi, he was instantly stunned, and his expression immediately changed.
However, before he could attack, another demon race appeared beside him. It was precisely the Iron Lizard from before. He ran over to the tall Grey Lizard Demon Race man and whispered a few words to him. At the same time, he kept looking at the old white monkey and the others. It seemed that he was explaining the situation he had encountered to the Grey Lizard Demon Race, who was obviously the leader.
Following the Iron Lizard’s words, the leader’s expression relaxed a lot. However, in the end, he still had some doubts and doubts. He stared at Shen Shi and said,
“Ghost Wizard, what is that?”
At this moment, dozens of warriors from the Grey Lizard Tribe were gathered around. There was a faint momentum of encirclement. The old white monkey’s expression changed slightly. He snorted coldly and said impatiently, “I told you before, that’s one of our demon tribes.”
Shen Shi looked at the old white monkey behind him and was speechless.
Demon race of the Grey Lizard Tribe looked skeptical. However, seeing Old Bai Monkey and Stone Pig walking together with Shen Shi without any barriers, they believed more and did not bother about Shen Shi’s identity. The leader said, “Which tribe are you from? Are you here to rob us of our property?”
His expression darkened as he said, “We used the strength of our clan to lay down this village. Everything belongs to us, not yours!”
The old white monkey scanned the small village behind them and looked at the group of Gray Lizard demons who were determined to fight to the death to protect their belongings. Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness surged in their hearts. They lowered their heads and waved their hands, and said blankly, “You guys can do whatever you want. We are just passing by, we will not fight you.”
As soon as he said this, the faces of the Grey Lizard Tribe immediately relaxed. The leader laughed and said, “Since that’s the case, I’m no longer an enemy. My name is Black Lizard, and I’m the tribal chief of the Grey Lizard Tribe. You can look for me if you need anything. However, we’re very busy right now, hahahaha …”
Shen Shi suddenly opened his mouth and said, “We won’t touch the things you robbed. Let’s just walk around the village, shall we?”
The Black Lizard was stunned. It seemed to be hesitating, but in the end, it nodded and said, “You can leave the human village as you wish. However, you are not allowed to move anything that our clan warriors want.”
Shen Shi nodded and agreed. The Black Lizard laughed and waved its hand, shouting, “Hurry up, hurry up, continue to snatch it.”
Dozens of Gray Lizard warriors scattered like barbaric low-grade demonic beasts, rushing into the ruined human houses.
④
The noisy sounds echoed in this unknown human village once again. Old White Monkey and Shen Shi avoided the Gray Lizard warriors and walked slowly in the village. Shi Zhu and Xiao Hei followed behind them.
After walking past a few houses and watching the Gray Lizard warriors smiling foolishly in and out, for some reason, the old white monkey’s expression suddenly became somewhat unsightly, while Shen Shi’s expression became somewhat relaxed.
As they walked, they gradually arrived at the center of the village. The Old Bai Monkey suddenly snorted and said, “These lizards say this is a human village, but where are the humans?”
Shen Shi stood beside him. He glanced around and said indifferently, “There are no corpses, no figures, not even traces of blood on his hands.”
He turned his head and exchanged glances with the old white monkey. He saw the unconcealable astonishment and suspicion in the other party’s eyes. This scene in front of him was truly too strange.
A loud boom rang out from the door of a house on the right. It was kicked open by someone. Then, a tall demon race walked out with big strides. He smiled happily and looked very happy. It seemed that he had gained a lot in this room. It was none other than the Hei Lizard Tribe’s Clan Chief, the Black Lizard.
In the blink of an eye, The Black Lizard also saw Old Bai Monkey, Shen Shi, and the others standing not far away. He walked over and looked them up and down, Seeing that these people’s hands were empty, Sure enough, he didn’t take the opportunity to steal anything from the village, He smiled and said, “It’s quite honest. Haha, forget it. The harvest today is not bad. Later on, the warriors from my clan have already robbed it. If you can find anything else in this village, just take it away. Anyway, it’s all human stuff. Don’t take it for free, hahahaha …”
Shen Shi frowned and did not say anything. The old white monkey shook its head slightly and sighed, “Well … Black Lizard Clan Chief, I have something to ask.”
The black lizard said, “What?”
The old white monkey pointed at the surrounding houses and said, “Didn’t I say that this was a human village before? Why did I come in so long that I couldn’t even see a human shadow? I didn’t even see the corpse capital after you killed me.”
The Black Lizard waved its hand and said, “Kill, we don’t have any people. Where did we get the corpses?”
The old white monkey was stunned and said, “Then did you say that you captured this village?”
The Black Lizard chuckled and said, “That’s right, we found this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking advantage of the absence of the human guardians, we gathered all the strength of the clan to attack. Finally, we broke the defensive formation outside the village. However, there are still two human cultivators in the village who escaped with the others.” As he spoke, he pointed towards the distance. It was the opposite bank of the river outside the village. Not far from the village, there was a bridge across the river. From what he could tell, it meant that the human race had escaped into the depths of the plains.
Shen Shi did not know why, but his heart suddenly relaxed. He secretly let out a long sigh of relief. However, Old Bai Monkey’s expression became even uglier. However, looking at the clan leader in front of him, who was complacent and also had a large bag of stolen items like the other Gray Lizard Warriors, he did not know what to say for a moment.
The Black Lizard laughed, then looked up at the sky and said, “It’s about time.” “Alright, it’s almost time to go. Otherwise, when those human cultivators come back, they’ll catch them and dig the crystal mine until they die,” he suddenly shouted to the surroundings.
The surrounding Grey Lizard warriors who were looting immediately stirred up a commotion. Although they looked reluctant to part, they still struggled to come out. Meanwhile, Shen Shi, who was standing at the side, frowned and thought to himself, “What is that crystal mine?”
As the Grey Lizard Tribe gathered, As if he was about to leave, But whether it was Old Bai Monkey or Shen Shi, There were too many questions in his heart that he wanted to ask these local natives. However, just as Old Bai Monkey was about to chase after him and talk to the black lizard, the door of the largest house in the middle of the village was kicked open. The Iron Lizard with an unlucky expression ran out. The parcels on his body were obviously much less than the others. It seemed that his harvest was not good.
However, following the opening of the door, the old white monkey’s body suddenly stiffened. Then, he raised his head and sniffed in the air. A moment later, he revealed a somewhat intoxicated expression. He was overjoyed. He pulled Shen Shi and walked into the large room. At the same time, he said, “So fragrant, so fragrant. This, this, what kind of wine actually has such a fragrant smell …”
Shen Shi was speechless for a moment. But caught by the Old Bai monkey, He had no choice but to accompany him, Seeing the house, Sure enough, it looked bigger than the surrounding houses, Compared to the original owner of the house, who had some status in the village, Old Bai Monkey followed the strong aroma of the wine and found a small room. He pushed open the door and saw that it was a storage room. There weren’t many things inside, but there was a wine jar. On the outside of the wine jar, there were two words written clearly, which were displayed in front of them.
Flower sculpture.
The old white monkey was as dumbfounded as a wooden chicken. A moment later, he suddenly let out a loud shout. His entire body seemed to be fifty or sixty years younger. He quickly rushed over and hugged the wine jar. Looking at the ecstatic expression, it almost made people think that this fellow had obtained the most precious heavenly treasure in the world.
“Flower sculpture, it’s a flower sculpture. I, I’m not dreaming …”
There were faint tears in Old Bai Monkey’s eyes, and even his lips trembled with excitement. He was so excited that he almost couldn’t stand it anymore. Shen Shi looked at his appearance. Although he was worried for a moment, he couldn’t help but shake his head and bitterly smile.
Afterwards, Old Bai Monkey circled around the wine jar, hugging it tightly and refusing to let go. He looked as if he was hesitating whether he should immediately open the wine jar and taste something new to fulfill his long-cherished wish. Shen Shi ignored him and looked around the room. He walked a few more laps outside the door. From afar, he heard that the Grey Lizard Tribe seemed to have gathered and was about to leave. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He trembled slightly and suddenly turned to look at the Grey Lizard Tribe in the distance. His expression sank.
A moment later, he suddenly turned around and walked back to the storeroom. He said to Old Bai Monkey, who was forcefully opening the wine jar plug, “Old Monkey, forget about the jar of wine. Let’s hurry up and leave.”
The old white monkey was stunned. He raised his head to look at him and said, “Why?”
After a moment of silence, Shen Shi said, “It’s not appropriate to stay here for long.”
Seeing Shen Shi’s gloomy expression, Old Bai Monkey could not help but restrain his excitement. He slowly stood up and looked at Shen Shi, saying, “What’s wrong? Could it be that you’ve noticed something wrong?”
Shen Shi remained silent. Old Bai Monkey asked again. Shen Shi hesitated for a moment before whispering, “Didn’t the Iron Lizard say that their tribe was no match for the human race when they were talking to us in front of the forest? Wasn’t it forced to hide in a remote place like the deep valley forest?”
The Old Bai Monkey nodded and said, “That’s right, so what?”
Shen Shi took a deep look at him and said, “Since their entire tribe has been hiding in the wilderness all day, who did they hear that the cultivators in this village would leave for Duanyue City?”
Old Bai Monkey’s body trembled, and his expression instantly changed. He stared fixedly at Shen Shi. Shen Shi smiled and did not say anything else. However, within his faint smile, there was already some contempt and ridicule.
