Killing God - Chapter 175
Chapter 175 Enclosure
The little black pig was like a black ball of meat. It drew a sorry arc in the air and quickly rushed towards the frightened gray tumor mouse. At the same time, it let out a few screams that seemed to be complaining in the air.
In the blink of an eye, It had already flown in front of the gray tumor mouse, Although the Grey Tumor Rat was classified as a Second Grade demonic beast in terms of combat strength, its brain wasn’t very bright. It was stunned for a moment. It subconsciously stretched out its claws to block it. At the same time, it took out its strongest attack mode and opened its mouth again. It bit towards the black ball of meat with its sharp fangs.
On the black ball of meat, Those strange pieces of gray armor slowly appeared again. covering the entire body of the Little Hei pig, The Gray Tumor Rat bit down, and its claws also grabbed onto the meat of the Little Hei pig. However, its sharp claws were now slippery, unable to break through the thick skin of the strange Little Hei pig. It powerlessly slipped to the side. As for the fangs and teeth that it had gritted down, it was almost the same result. It was helpless against such an incomparably tough pig skin.
The little black pig snorted twice. With a lift of its foot, a pig’s hoof directly smashed into the gray tumor mouse’s face. It was right in the middle of its nose. The gray tumor mouse let out a mournful cry, as if it had been hit at the vital point. Its entire body staggered and trembled slightly. It seemed that the pain was not light.
Little Black Pig landed on the ground, his spirit trembling. He looked around with high spirits and had the aura of “This pig is invincible in this world”. He howled and lowered his head to smash into this Second Grade Monster Gray Tumor Rat.
The gray tumor rats were covering their noses and jumping around, It seemed that the pain was really severe. Without checking for a moment, the side of the black pig’s stomach was firmly hit by the black pig. With a low and muffled sound, its huge body was knocked flying. When it was in midair, its eyes suddenly lit up, and then a surge of heat came, engulfing it completely.
This was the last bit of consciousness this gray tumor mouse had in this world.
Shen Shi’s fireball spell struck the head of the gray tumor mouse with incomparable accuracy. Under the support of the Heavenly Underworld Curse, the power of Shen Shi’s First Grade spell could even cause damage to Origin Condensation Realm cultivators, let alone this Second Grade demonic beast. The result was just as he had expected, the gray tumor mouse that had struck the head was killed.
The giant dog-like rat fell heavily to the ground in front of him. After rolling two laps, the Little Hei pig ran over and kicked the demonic beast with its hooves. After confirming that the enemy was dead, it hmph twice as if it was demonstrating. Then, it happily ran back to Shen Shi’s side and circled around, looking very excited and amused.
Shen Shi smiled faintly. Lowering his raised arm slightly, He didn’t cast the fireball spell with a talisman, Because with the Little Hei pig in front, Standing behind him, he suddenly felt that it was much easier than all the battles in the past. Without caring about his own safety, he felt too comfortable to cast the Five Elements Spell. He simply used his spiritual energy to cast the Fireball Spell. However, his speed was still quite fast. From beginning to end, it had been less than three breaths of time. It was already a speed that only Origin Condensation Realm cultivators could achieve.
One talisman is less than one, but the consumption of spiritual energy in one’s body can still be recovered. Under the premise of guaranteeing safety, it can be saved a little bit. Shen Shi was in a good mood after defeating this gray tumor mouse. He thought in his heart that if he followed this method, he would probably be able to deal with most low-grade demonic beasts. However, he didn’t know how thick Little Hei’s pig skin was and what level of demonic beast power he could resist.
Perhaps, a Second Grade demonic beast like the Gray Tumor Rat was about to reach its current limit, right? After all, a little higher was a Third Grade demonic beast. This was already a ferocious monster that had the chance to condense a demonic core. Its strength was also much stronger than a Second Grade demonic beast. It was almost equivalent to the Origin Condensation Realm among human cultivators.
Forget it, this kind of high-grade demonic beast should temporarily stay away. When he returned to Lingxiao Sect to train, he would one day break through to the Origin Condensation Realm. At that time, it would naturally be a new world.
However, there was another problem that troubled him. He lowered his body and hugged the little black pig. The little black pig extended its tongue and licked his palm affectionately. It looked as if he was being hugged by his master in a comfortable manner. Using his hand to gently stroke the little black pig’s body, his palm swept past its smooth but tough skin. Shen Shi frowned slightly and said softly,
“It’s obviously not Demon race yet. How could he have such a talent?”
④
Three years in the Demon Realm had allowed Shen Shi to gain a deep and clear understanding of the demons that had only existed in the rumors in the past, including some of their innate divine abilities and bloodline mutations. Apart from the legendary direct descendant of the Heaven Opening Giant God Pangu, the Demon Emperor bloodline, the majority of the other demon races could trace back to the bloodline of some demon beasts.
Of course, just as the ancient legend had it that humans came from apes, it was not a shameful thing for the demon race to possess the bloodline of demonic beasts. Even the most prideful innate divine ability of the demon race often came from these mysterious and powerful demonic beast bloodlines.
However, there was still a huge difference between Demon race and demonic beasts. The most significant thing was that those powerful innate divine abilities were awakened by their bloodlines and cultivation breakthroughs. However, only Demon race would possess them, and demonic beasts would never have such a situation.
Take the simplest example. The Stone Pig had the same bloodline as the Little Black Pig. However, the former had transformed into a demon through its bloodline and awakened a type of innate “thick armor”. In fierce battles, it could form an incomparably tough leather armor all over its body, providing powerful protection to its physical body. Ordinary swords and blades were unable to cause any damage.
As for ordinary First Grade demonic beast Stone-skinned Pigs, there was no need to mention the newborn piglets. They were extremely fragile. When they reached adulthood, Stone-skinned Pigs would naturally grow something similar to stone armor on their bodies. They could also protect themselves. They looked somewhat similar to Stone-skinned Pigs’ innate divine abilities, but that was all.
The stone-skinned pig was still the prey of many powerful demonic beasts in the Black hell Mountain Range, Those leather armors could only barely give this demonic beast another layer of protection, However, it was not particularly powerful. The thick armor of the Stone Pig after awakening was a rather powerful and practical talent. Normally, it did not appear. However, once it was used, it was sufficient to withstand most attacks of the same level. Of course, the bloodline of the Stone Pig was not strong, so the talent of the thick armor was limited to a certain extent.
In other words, the current situation of the Little Hei pig was obviously still a stone-skinned pig, at least it looked like a stone-skinned pig with a slightly abnormal bloodline, because no matter what, the little pig’s appearance did not seem to show the slightest sign of progress towards becoming a Demon race. Logically speaking, the Little Hei pig should be slowly growing out those defensive armor pieces, and it was impossible for it to have the thick armor talent that usually didn’t appear but suddenly appeared during battles. This had already broken through the boundary between Demon race and demonic beasts.
But the truth was right in front of him. The Little Hei Pig, who was rubbing against him, had returned to its harmless appearance. There were no traces of nails on its smooth skin. Shen Shi stared at it for a long time, but he still couldn’t understand the reasoning behind it. In the end, it could only be attributed to the little pig eating randomly.
“What exactly are the origins of those two beads? Why would there be such a strange reaction after eating them?” Shen Shi thought in his heart and shook his head. He thought that this was the end of it anyway. He then continued to see what the Little Hei pig looked like.
Then, he walked to the gray tumor mouse’s corpse. After examining it for a moment, he did not intend to make a move. Instead, he directly took the Little Hei pig and left. Although there were many demonic beasts that could be used as spirit materials, there were also many that did not have this purpose or contained too little spirit energy to be hunted. The Gray Tumor Rat was such a demonic beast, so Shen Shi looked at it twice and left.
With Little Hei, Shen Shi continued to go deeper into the dense reeds. Legend had it that the treasure land around Silvermoon Lake was rich in all kinds of spirit herbs. However, it was still in the wilderness, no matter how rich it was, it could not be found everywhere. Even though the Little Hei pig seemed to be exceptionally sensitive to all kinds of spirit herbs, it did not find much along the way.
Along the way, they saw that the sun had already reached the sky. They had already walked through the reeds for more than two hours, and they could faintly hear the sound of some water waves. This proved that they were already quite deep into the Silvermoon Lake’s boundary, and perhaps they had even approached a certain lake bank. However, along the way, Shen Shi and the Little Hei pig hadn’t harvested much. They only found two spiritual herbs in total, and they were also found by the Little Hei pig in some extremely concealed places with great agility.
Thinking about it, The reputation of Silvermoon Lake as a place rich in spirit herbs had long been spread. Countless loose cultivators were digging and picking herbs every day. It was only natural that the spirit herbs in the periphery of Silvermoon Lake were almost completely plucked. However, it was said that the center of Silvermoon Lake was the best treasure ground. The spirit herbs there were more abundant, producing more spirit herbs, and their grade was also higher. Naturally, their value was also greater.
However, what followed was that the demonic beasts there seemed to be even more powerful. In the past, some news of people being injured and killed had been underestimated. Rogue cultivators who had rashly gone deep into the depths of the lake had died under the claws of those powerful demonic beasts.
Shen Shi stopped and hesitated for a moment. He had originally come here to take a casual look. If he was lucky, he would pick some spiritual herbs and pass the last four days. He did not intend to grow more branches and go deeper into the depths of the lake. Right now, the place he was in seemed to be very deep in the Silvermoon Lake. Should he turn around or walk forward?
Shen Shi pondered for a moment before finally deciding that stability was the most important thing at the moment. At the very least, before returning to Lingxiao Sect, it would be best if nothing else happened. So he called for the Little Hei pig and planned to turn around and walk back.
It was just that sometimes, when he didn’t want to cause trouble, things would come to him. In the depths of the reed in front of him, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from the direction of the faint rippling sound of the lake water. Following that, a commotion broke out. A flock of water birds were startled in mid-air, mixed with several angry shouts and reprimands. It sounded like they were coming from different places at the same time.
At the same time, a thick voice rang out in front of him, echoing across the reeds. With a hint of killing intent, he said loudly,
“Fellow Daoists, quickly evade. This place is already covered by our Fish Dragon Sect. No one can blame us for being impolite if they continue to move forward.”
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He then remembered that the Fish Dragon Sect was one of the two earliest small cultivation sects he had heard of in Broken Moon City. Originally, it could be considered a tyrant here. However, ever since the arrival of the Mysterious Sword Sect, which relied on the Heavenly Sword Palace as its powerful backer, the Fish Dragon Sect’s momentum was naturally much weaker than before. Normally, it could only live with its tail between its legs.
I didn’t expect to meet him here today. I don’t know why he made this Fish Dragon Sect act so arrogantly. However, perhaps it was because most of the rootless rogue cultivators that came here, so the Fish Dragon Sect was not afraid.
Shen Shi didn’t want to interfere. Moreover, there was a cultivation sect ahead. Although it was said to be small in scale, it was still much stronger than ordinary rogue cultivators. In the end, he was still a Qi Refining Realm cultivator. Why bother provoking such a powerful enemy?
Therefore, although he was still curious about what had happened in front of him, Shen Shi still turned around and prepared to avoid it in the end.
But at this moment, The Little Hei pig at his feet suddenly raised its head. He sniffed a few times in the air, Then, there seemed to be a moment of astonishment. Then, his eyes widened instantly and he started to howl. He even began to use his hooves to dig the soil in place. He stared at the front without blinking. He ignored Shen Shi’s call for him to leave and looked extremely excited. Even his body trembled slightly, as if he could not help but rush forward in the next moment.
Shen Shi paused and stopped. He stared at the little black pig that had suddenly become excited, and a strange expression flashed across his eyes.
