Killing God - Chapter 157
Chapter 157 Reality
Shen Shi turned his head and looked at the human village in the distance. The village that had been looted by the Grey Lizard Tribe was now in a mess. There were broken walls everywhere, and the gate fence collapsed everywhere. However, in his opinion, the village was so friendly. Didn’t he think that he would be able to return to the human race after three years?
As long as he turned around and walked towards the place where there was someone.
“Let’s go!” A cry came from behind him. Shen Shi turned around and took a look. However, the old white monkey had already brought the stone pig to the edge of the forest. It seemed that he was determined to find the Grey Lizard Tribe. At this moment, he was beckoning for Shen Shi to hurry up and catch up.
Shen Shi took a deep look at the two of them. Old Bai Monkey grinned. Perhaps because he was a little embarrassed by his persistence, a faint smile appeared on his face. Meanwhile, Shi Zhu looked at Old Bai Monkey and stood beside him honestly. It was the same as many years ago. At the same time, he revealed a kind and expectant gaze towards Shen Shi.
Shen Shi was speechless as he lowered his head slightly. After a while, he sighed softly in his heart and followed.
The Little Hei pig at his feet seemed to have sensed something and looked up at its master doubtfully.
The group entered the forest and followed behind the Grey Lizard Tribe in front of them, heading towards the depths of the forest. The Grey Lizard Tribe had apparently lived in this forest for a long time, familiar with the terrain, There was no one to guide them along the way, All the Gray Lizard warriors were able to travel freely through the forest, Not long after, many people noticed that Old Bai Monkey and the others were still following behind them. After reporting to the Black Lizard, the Black Lizard frowned and revealed a look of helplessness. “Forget it, regardless of them, the human cultivators outside might come back at some point. If they didn’t leave the forest now, they would probably be caught.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the other Grey Lizard warriors naturally stopped talking. After walking for a while, the Old Bai Monkey and the others behind them hurriedly chased after them. The Black Lizard simply turned around and walked to the end of the group. When the Old Bai Monkey and the others rushed over, they said angrily, “What are you guys doing with us again?”
Old Bai Monkey chuckled and said, “Patriarch, I lost my composure ahead. Don’t take offense for spouting nonsense.”
The Black Lizard was stunned for a moment. It turned to look at the Old Bai Monkey and snorted. However, its expression clearly relaxed. Afterwards, it seemed to have thought of something. After a moment of hesitation, it said, “But what Heavenly Yao Court did you just say? It sounds very impressive. What exactly is it? Does it have anything to do with our Demon race?”
The old white monkey nodded his head repeatedly and said, “Of course, it’s related, it’s related greatly.”
The Black Lizard thought for a moment and seemed to have been aroused a bit of curiosity. “Alright, then you guys should follow us back to the tribal camp and talk to me when we get there.”
The old white monkey was overjoyed. He laughed and said, “Alright.”
“Mm-hmph” Shen Shi coughed softly. He walked over at an unknown time. His expression was indifferent as he said to the Black Lizard, “Patriarch, we are all from the countryside. We don’t know much about the outside world, but I wonder if the human race is actually so powerful now. What is the strength of their race?”
The old white monkey looked at Shen Shi in surprise. He seemed to be surprised that he was even more anxious than himself, but this question was exactly what he was eager to know. However, seeing that the situation had just eased up, the old white monkey originally thought that it was at the Grey Lizard Camp that he was peddling around to ask the Black Lizard, but he didn’t expect Shen Shi to ask so straightforwardly.
However, the anticipation in his heart grew even more intense. He turned around and looked at the Black Lizard with a bit of urgency. Beside him, Shen Shi said expressionlessly, He smiled bitterly in his heart. With the strength of the human race, Of course, he knew more or less what was going on in his heart, At this moment, he asked this question beforehand, He was also trying to wake up the old white monkey. Don’t indulge in the arrogant dreams of the demon race. Otherwise, even if it wasn’t in the Primordial Chaos Master Realm, the humans would still be crushing the other races. If the old white monkey acted unconsciously, it wouldn’t take long for it to shatter its body and bones, even if it wasn’t in the Primordial Chaos Master Realm.
The Black Lizard didn’t know why, He had always been a bit unpleasant to the eyes of this man with Demon race’s identity as a “ghost adept”. However, Shen Shi had always been courteous and honest. He didn’t overstep anything. Even his current questioning was well-behaved. He even admitted that his group of people lacked knowledge and secretly flattered him. This made the Black Lizard feel much better. He chuckled and said,
“Forget it, I won’t bother with the matters ahead. Otherwise, if I drive you away now, and if I encounter any human cultivators outside the forest, I’m afraid that you’ll be digging to death in the crystal mine in the future.”
The old white monkey’s lips twitched. It seemed that it was about to ask something, but Shen Shi, who was beside him, was a step ahead. He seemed to be unable to help but ask, “Are those human cultivators actually so powerful? What realm of cultivation are they?”
The Black Lizard nodded and said, “Although those fellows are our life and death enemies, they are truly formidable. As long as three or four cultivators come, they might be able to annihilate the entire tribe. That’s why we’ve been hiding all day.” At this point, the Black Lizard paused for a moment and said with a hesitant expression, “As for cultivation realm, it seems that most of the human cultivators who have passed through this area before are at the Origin Condensation Realm. The higher level seems to be called the Divine Concept Realm, but we have never heard of such a person before. However, if such a person comes, we will truly die without a burial ground.”
The old white monkey’s expression changed slightly. A trace of worry flashed through his eyes. As he pondered, Shen Shi continued to ask, “Patriarch, there aren’t many human cultivators there. From what you just said, there are only three or four cultivators in that village.”
The Black Lizard shrugged its shoulders and said, “There aren’t many people in that village, but I heard that they are the lowest rogue cultivators among the human cultivators. Of course, it’s already enough for us.” I’ve heard people say before that there are countless cultivators in the human race, and even at the same realm, there are disciples from aristocratic families and sects above these rogue cultivators. These people are several times more powerful than rogue cultivators. ”
Old Bai Monkey’s face suddenly turned pale again. He stared at the Black Lizard, his breathing slightly heavier. He whispered, “There are countless cultivators in their ranks?”
The Black Lizard sighed, revealing a look of fear and frustration on its face as it nodded.
Shen Shi turned his head to look at the old white monkey. He saw that the old monkey had just recovered and its face was starting to turn ashen and depressed again. He couldn’t bear it in his heart. However, the truth was in front of him. In the end, it was better for him to recognize the reality earlier. He gritted his teeth and hardened his heart. He then asked,
“I didn’t expect that there were so many human cultivators. No wonder they were so strong. However, I heard in the countryside that amongst the strongest cultivators of the human race, what kind of Origin Core Realm Grand Daoist is he? That kind of person is said to have a lot of divine abilities, He paused for a moment and secretly glanced at the old white monkey. A few more wings appeared in his eyes. He sighed in his heart and whispered to the Black Lizard, “There must only be one or two such people, right?”
The Black Lizard looked at Shen Shi in astonishment. Suddenly, it laughed and said, “Looks like you really came from some country.”
Shen Shi smiled and gently nodded. He did not say anything. At this moment, the Old Bai Monkey was staring at the Black Lizard. It did not know when its hands were tightly clenched together, as if it was extremely nervous.
The Black Lizard thought for a moment. Shaking his head, he said, “you ‘re wrong, Although I’m not too sure how many powerful characters in the Origin Core Realm there are in the human race, However, I’ve heard of it before. As long as there are decent sects of some scale in the human race, there will usually be Origin Core Realm experts. As for those exceptionally powerful sects, er, they seem to be called the Four Great Families or the Four Righteous Families. In short, there are dozens of Origin Core Realm cultivators in a sect like this. “If you really count it, there are probably hundreds of such Origin Core Realm cultivators in the human race. How strong do you think the human race is? How can we afford to provoke them?”
The old white monkey’s face turned pale at the beginning of his words. When he heard the last words, especially the words of several hundred Origin Core Realm cultivators, his body trembled violently like thunder. For some reason, his body suddenly trembled. He staggered and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shen Shi and Shi Zhu, who were standing beside him, were both shocked. They hurriedly went up to support him. Old Bai Monkey’s body was soft, as if he had lost all his strength. His eyes were empty, as if he had lost his life. Shen Shi was shocked, and he hurriedly shouted loudly. He and Shi Zhu laid Old Bai Monkey flat on the ground and rubbed his chest one by one. After a long while, Old Bai Monkey slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Black Lizard beside him was also shocked by the divine Old Bai Monkey and muttered somewhat inexplicably, “As for you, just a few words and you were so shocked.” As he spoke, he turned around and saw that he was impatient to pay attention to these strange Demon race again, urging the Gray Lizard Warriors to move forward loudly.
The old white monkey lay on the ground. Its eyes were empty and its lips trembled. It slowly turned around and looked at Shen Shi. It reached out with its withered hand and grabbed Shen Shi’s hand. It seemed like it had a thousand words to say, but it didn’t say a word for a long time.
A hint of bitterness surged in Shen Shi’s heart. He folded his hands together and held the Old Bai Monkey’s hand in his palm.
The old white monkey stared at him with a hoarse voice. It was as if it was choking with sobs. It was as if the dream of a lifetime had been shattered in this strange forest today and dissipated in the wind. His hoarse voice sounded like he was laughing and crying. He stared at Shen Shi, each word like a groan, “Hundreds … Hundreds …”
Shen Shi tightened his grip on his hand and remained silent. Then, he gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely.
The old white monkey slowly turned its head and looked at the sky. There were only a few small cracks in the sky that were blocked by the dense leaves of books. It was as if in the years to come, the demon race’s heavy fate and narrow living space would remain unnoticed.
“Hundreds of … Heavenly Yao-like human cultivators …”
Every single word seemed to take away a trace of Old Bai Monkey’s vitality. Each word was even more desperate than the previous words. Every word was like this old monkey demon desperately asking the heavens.
“Why, why is this happening? Why is the aura and luck of the human race so strong?”
“What about the demon race? What about the demon race …”
“What should we do …”
“Heavenly Yao Royal Court … Demon Emperor … Heavenly Yao … Ah … Flying Rainbow Realm … Dark Underworld Tower …”
Shen Shi listened to the old white monkey’s words, but he discovered that he was gradually unable to choose his words. He began to speak nonsense. Looking at his mind, it seemed that the impact was too great. There were faint signs of madness in his heart. He was shocked, and he also regretted it. If he had known that this reality had hit the old white monkey so badly, he might as well just hide it from him.
However, it was useless to regret at this point in time. Shen Shi frowned and suddenly heavily slapped the Old Bai Monkey. With a loud slap, Shi Zhu was startled. He protected the Old Bai Monkey and looked at Shen Shi in confusion.
The old white monkey’s body trembled, as if it had suddenly woken up from a dream, but its entire body seemed to have suffered a severe injury to its vitality.
Shen Shi relaxed a little, but he was still worried. He whispered, “Old monkey, don’t go crazy! They … what are these Grey Lizard Tribes? Do you believe everything they say?”
The old white monkey lay in silence. After a long while, its face turned ashen and it sighed. It sat up and exchanged glances with Shen Shi. Neither of them spoke, but each of them moved their gazes away.
How could the two of them not know whether what the Black Lizard said was true or false?
The few of them sat in this strange forest for a long time. Just as Shen Shi was about to persuade the Old Bai Monkey to leave, they suddenly heard a loud laugh coming from afar. The sound shook the forest, and it was like a flood that surged and surged, causing people to feel awe subconsciously.
After the laughter, there was a hint of arrogance and disdain. A man’s voice echoed above the forest, echoing between heaven and earth.
“Despicable reptiles, we’ve finally found your lair. From now on, all of you raise your clans and dig out spirit crystals for us, ‘Xuanjian Sect’!”
