Killing God - Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Accidental Encounter
Little Hei pig’s talent in searching for spiritual herbs was peculiar, but it was indeed powerful. In just an hour or so, he had actually brought Shen Shi to find five spiritual herbs. One of them was a Tier 2 spiritual herb, the Tianshui Orchid. It was often used in refining pills and was an important ingredient in several pill formulas. It was very valuable.

In the process, This was the first time Shen Shi had fully realized the little pig’s powerful ability to search for grass. Without any warning, the little black pig suddenly noticed something. Then, it turned around and rushed into a bush of weeds or a dark cave. It found those spirit herbs in some strange corner that ordinary people would not notice.

Shen Shi was also amazed by such talent. After gathering the five spirit herbs, he kept his promise and took out a spirit crystal, giving it to the little black pig who had been circling around him, grinning and laughing foolishly. He was willing to give this spirit crystal, and he was even somewhat shocked in his heart. The value of the five spirit herbs that the little black pig found would be far more than this spirit crystal if he went back to Broken Moon City to sell them.

However … we are all good friends, so don’t think too much about this kind of thing!

Shen Shi squatted down and stuffed the spirit crystal into the little pig’s mouth. Then, he hugged its little head and gently touched it. The Little Hei pig was immediately happy. The spirit crystal in its mouth was like a child who had eaten the sweetest candy of his dreams. It looked extremely happy.

Originally, Shen Shi was curious. He had some doubts about how the Little Hei pig should eat this spirit crystal. It was impossible for him to directly swallow it like other foods, right? It was impossible to say that it was like eating spirit herbs. After all, spirit crystals were very hard, and they would break their teeth.

However, looking around, it seemed that the Little Hei pig was happily holding the spirit crystal in its mouth. It was really like a child eating candy. Its mouth moved gently, neither biting nor swallowing it. However, after observing for a while, Shen Shi suddenly discovered that the luster of the spirit crystal seemed to be slightly dimmer than before.

Shen Shi was stunned. As a cultivator, he was extremely familiar with the changes in spirit crystals. In the past, every time he used spirit crystals to cultivate and draw spirit into his body, because he lost a portion of his spirit power, the luster of spirit crystals would naturally dim a little.

And this scene in front of him seemed to be similar … Could it be that this Little Hei pig was carrying this spirit crystal and walking around happily as if nothing had happened? Was it actually doing the cultivation work of drawing spirit into its body?

Shen Shi looked at this increasingly strange little pig in disbelief. However, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the Little Hei pig seemed to be just playing happily with spirit crystals in its mouth. It did not show any signs of seriously cultivating. During this period of astonishment and hesitation, he could vaguely see that the light on the spirit crystal seemed to have dimmed slightly.

Shen Shi shook his head. Ever since the little pig ate those two pearls, the strange thing was that it couldn’t be poor, so he couldn’t care less about it. Anyway, everyone was together, so he could slowly take a closer look in the future. He immediately beckoned the Little Hei pig and continued walking forward.

According to Shen Shi’s original intention, this day had only just begun. With Little Hei Pig’s innate talent, he naturally had to continue searching for all kinds of spirit herbs. How could cultivators think that there were too many spirit herbs and spirit materials? They really couldn’t use too many spirit herbs themselves. Isn’t it great to exchange them for spirit crystals on the market?

It was just that he was looking forward to it, However, the Little Hei pig that had eaten the spirit crystal suddenly seemed to become tired and lazy. Although they were still joyfully holding spirit crystals and running around beside him, the Little Hei pig clearly showed that it had lost interest in finding spirit herbs. In the next two hours, Shen Shi and the Little Hei pig walked around the Silvermoon Lake, but not a single spirit herb was found.

This was clearly a sharp contrast to the five spiritual herbs he had found in the past two hours. Shen Shi tried to urge the little pig a few times, but the little black pig looked lazy. It seemed that the innate inertia in its bones could not be changed. After eating enough, it did not want to move …

Shen Shi also had a headache and helplessness, but he was also helpless against this exhausted and lazy little pig. In the end, he simply comforted himself. Anyway, if there were five spiritual herbs in the accounts every day, it would already be a good day, and it would be bad to be too greedy.

After thinking for a while, his mood became much better. He scolded Little Black Pig, you lazy foodie, and walked along this desolate bush with the little pig who didn’t care at all about the simple laughter he had been smiling at.

As he walked, Shen Shi’s footsteps suddenly stopped. However, he saw that the front was suddenly wide open. A vast and calm surface of water actually appeared in his line of sight. Needless to say, this was naturally Silvermoon Lake.

Shen Shi was shocked. This morning, he spent most of his mind on the little pig and didn’t pay much attention to the almost identical scenery around him. As a result, he unknowingly walked to the side of Silvermoon Lake.

According to the information he had received, The Silvermoon Lake covered an area of 1,000 mu, including a large area by the lake. It was considered a treasure land rich in all kinds of spirit herbs and many demonic beasts. Generally speaking, the surrounding areas, including the dense reeds and desolate grass, as well as some trees, were considered to be the periphery of the Silvermoon Lake, while the ones beside the lake were considered quite deep.

When they arrived at the lakeside, high-grade spirit herbs would gradually appear. However, more powerful and ferocious demonic beasts would also appear along with them. Moreover, because they were on the edge of the lake, besides some land-based demonic beasts, there would also be some strange and mysterious underwater demonic beasts that would occasionally come out to injure people, making people unable to defend against them.

It was also precisely because of this that ordinary rogue cultivators or sect disciples with lower cultivation bases usually gathered herbs outside the Silvermoon Lake for safety reasons. In fact, there weren’t many cultivators who would actually walk to the Silvermoon Lake’s edge.

However … Shen Shi looked around and saw that the lake water was as smooth as a mirror. The surroundings were peaceful and the scenery was beautiful. There were no signs of anything unusual, let alone any dangerous demonic beasts.

I haven’t seen a single demonic beast along the way today.

Shen Shi was somewhat surprised. He called out to the little pig to make it stay too far away from him. Then, with some caution, he slowly walked forward, and at the same time, he paid extra attention to his surroundings.

On the surface of this lake, There were no reeds as tall as a man, It was as if forest-like reeds were scattered along the lakeside in the direction he had been to before, At this moment, he was surrounded by a few short bushes of wild grass. However, they grew extremely luxuriant, and their heights were above his knees. In some places, they were even at the waist level. If some short demonic beasts were hiding in the bushes of wild grass, it would not be easy to discover them. Not to mention how difficult it would be to find those inconspicuous spiritual herbs if they grew in these bushes.

Farther west, on the west side, there was a dense mangrove forest that stretched from the shore to the shallow waters. It was similarly lush.

Shen Shi walked to the edge of the lake and looked into the lake with some vigilance. However, the water was clear. The sand and stones underwater in the shallow water could be seen clearly. Apart from a few leisurely swimming fish, he did not see any monsters that could pose a threat to humans.

At this point, Shen Shi finally felt relieved, but he couldn’t help but feel a little strange in his heart. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be so calm in such a deep place like Silvermoon Lake. What happened today?

Could it be that it had something to do with the unexpected actions of the Fish Dragon Sect yesterday?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sharp howl from somewhere in the distance. It was like a famous sword being unsheathed, and it sounded like a dragon’s roar. Its momentum was extraordinary, and it actually possessed the might to shake the heavens and the earth.

Even though it was so far away, Shen Shi’s heart trembled. He subconsciously turned around and saw a sword light soaring into the sky somewhere by the lake in the east. It was clear, vast, and incomparably imposing. Following it was a rumbling noise. It was as if countless people had suddenly rushed over bravely and started a chaotic battle in that place.

Shen Shi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He remembered that that direction was the depths of the reed yesterday. It seemed that the secret had indeed not been guarded.

Along with the sudden start of the chaotic battle, the place beside the Silvermoon Lake was instantly like a pot boiling, instantly chaotic, and rapidly spreading outwards.

Shen Shi felt uneasy. Just as he was thinking about whether he should be further away, he heard a series of angry shouts, shouts, and screams coming from within. At the same time, there was a faint sound of footsteps rushing over with panic and anxiety. They sounded from several different directions, like a chaotic herd of beasts rushing over.

Shen Shi’s expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to leave, Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, Looking back, he saw a few more people walking in the bushes behind him from afar. They seemed to be rogue cultivators. There were men and women, and the one walking at the end was a tall cultivator. For some reason, although it was just a glance, Shen Shi felt that the person looked a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen him in a hurry.

The rogue cultivators who walked over saw Shen Shi standing alone by the lake. He was also stunned. However, Silvermoon Lake was originally a landless place. Naturally, everyone could come. Presumably, it was also a cultivator who came here to pick herbs. Therefore, these people did not pay much attention to it. However, there was a faint hint of vigilance on their faces. After all, wandering cultivators in the wilderness did not survive easily. It was normal for them to be wary of people of unknown origins.

However, among these people, the tall cultivator who was walking at the end had an obvious look of frustration and misfortune on his face. After seeing Shen Shi, his body suddenly trembled, and his expression immediately changed. A pleasant surprise flashed across his face. At the same time, he seemed to be gnashing his teeth faintly, as if he was very angry at seeing Shen Shi.

Shen Shi naturally did not understand the gloominess of a person who had been searching for him for days, wanting to rob his family, but could not find anyone. In fact, he did not care much about those rogue cultivators. Even if it was that fellow that he seemed to be familiar with, he had never seen him before. There were people everywhere in this world, so who could still remember all of them?
