Killing God - Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Enter A Cave
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He stopped and subconsciously looked at the Little Hei pig.

He was with Little Hei day and night, For such a long time, Of course, he had noticed and witnessed the peculiarities that had once appeared in Little Hei’s eyes a few times, However, that strange expression often flashed by and rarely appeared in the ordinary world. Even if it happened once, it did not seem to affect the surroundings. Therefore, Shen Shi gradually forgot about this matter and only took it as a manifestation of the bloodline abnormality of the stone-skinned pig in Little Hei’s body.

He just stood in front of the Yin Dragon Stone Statue, However, Shen Shi discovered that the ancient divine dragon’s dragon eyes were somewhat similar to Little Hei’s. This instantly caused a storm in Shen Shi’s heart. According to what the Prime Minister surnamed Zhou said, the Yin Dragon was one of the three ancient dragons, equivalent to the legendary ancestor of the dragon race. Naturally, its divine ability was undeniable.

However, a moment later, Shen Shi frowned again. The Little Hei pig’s eyes were very clear and calm at this moment. There was nothing strange about them, so they could not be compared with each other. However, Shen Shi recalled the abnormal pig eyes he had seen a few times in his memory. After comparing them with the dragon eyes on the Yin Dragon Stone Statue, he discovered that there was still a difference between the two.

The three-colored light and gray haze that occasionally appeared in Little Black’s eyes were far from being comparable to the majestic and arrogant dragon eyes that were displayed on the stone statue. The two of them only looked somewhat alike in appearance, but their divine intents were like the heavens, and they were utterly incomparable.

Perhaps it was just an unexpected coincidence?

Shen Shi remained silent for a moment and shook his head slightly. He thought that other people didn’t know about Xiao Hei’s background, but he was very clear about it. He had personally witnessed the birth of this little black pig on the first day of his arrival in the Demon Realm back then. The bloodline of the stone-skinned pig couldn’t be mistaken. How could it be related to some Primordial Yin Dragon?

Even if the bloodline of a demonic beast returned to ancient times, it would still be impossible for an ancient dragon to return to the body of a pig, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Shi also smiled bitterly and self-deprecatingly. It was still because he had thought too much. Then, he threw away this obviously unrealistic idea and greeted Little Hei. He brought him all the way out of the stone statue community in the middle of the valley to the cliff at the end of the valley.

The thirty-six caves in the black cave were lined up and stood side by side on the stone wall. The light could only illuminate a small part of the cave entrance, and even deeper into the cave was a gloomy darkness that led to nowhere.

Shen Shi’s gaze swept across the numerous caves. He hesitated in his heart. At this moment, new cultivators were rushing over from the valley. Many of them were also in a similar situation. They didn’t know which cave the passage was, but after hesitating, most of them chose one of the caves and walked in with some caution.

The secluded valley was located on the dark side of the mountains. Normally, sunlight rarely appeared. On the other hand, cold mountain winds blew by from time to time, causing people to feel a chill on their bodies. Not to mention the statues in the valley, it was clearly the scene of the ancient tomb cemetery, adding a bit of gloomy chill to it for no reason.

Looking at the dark entrances, the surrounding cultivators walked into the caves with hope on their faces. Afterwards, there seemed to be no sound, and no one came out of the caves for a long time. Perhaps it was because the depths of the cave were very vast, or perhaps they had really found buried treasures, but for some reason, Shen Shi felt that the numerous entrances to the cave looked like icy cold eyes, staring coldly at everyone in the valley. And after the entrance, no one knew what would happen.

However, cultivators’ minds were always focused on perseverance. If they didn’t move forward just because they were worried about unknown dangers, then they wouldn’t be able to continue on the difficult path of cultivation. Therefore, although Shen Shi was hesitant in his heart, he did not give up on this idea. Instead, he slowly walked through the entrances of these caves, carefully observing them, and at the same time, constantly pondering in his heart.

However, the caves on the stone wall looked almost the same. Although it was impossible to say that every cave entrance was exactly the same, generally speaking, there wasn’t anything particularly outstanding or conspicuous. It was really hard to decide which cave to choose.

Just as Shen Shi hesitated for a while, he said, Just like those cultivators before, he could not simply choose one to go in and take a look. If it was really dangerous, then he would retreat. Suddenly, Xiao Hei stopped at his feet. He seemed to hesitate for a moment. After gently sniffing for a while, he snorted at Shen Shi twice.

Shen Shi frowned and looked at it.

Little Hei looked ahead. Shen Shi followed his gaze and saw that there was a cave that looked no different from his surroundings. He looked at the ninth cave entrance from the right.

Shen Shi squatted down, touched Little Hei’s head, and whispered, “You smell it?”

Little Hei didn’t seem to be particularly sure. He even hesitated a little. He tilted his head and thought for a moment. He actually started to sniff around and slowly approached the entrance of the cave.

Shen Shi sighed and stood up. Countless cultivators had come to this secluded valley these past few days. There were also countless people entering and leaving these caves. To be able to distinguish the auras of those people from the Hou Clan in such a chaotic atmosphere was truly a bit difficult, even if Little Hei possessed exceptionally sharp and peculiar abilities.

Walking to the entrance of the cave, Shen Shi quickly felt a cold wind blowing out from the depths of the cave. It was as if his body was soaked in cold water, and a chill seemed to rise from every part of his skin. Although with his current Origin Condensation Realm Dao Cultivation Realm, it wasn’t a problem for him to resist this little bit of cold Yin Qi, Shen Shi still frowned slightly.

The Yin Qi here seemed to be even more intense than in an ordinary cemetery.

However, on second thought, this tomb had been buried here for more than a few years. After accumulating for a long time, it was normal for the Yin Qi to be heavier. After pondering for a moment, Shen Shi nodded and said to Pig Little Hei, “Let’s go inside this cave entrance. If we can find it, then we’ll be fine.”

After saying that, Little Black Piggy walked away first. He raised his head and looked blankly at his master. He then looked at the darkness at the entrance of the cave. He seemed to hesitate a little. However, when he saw Shen Shi enter the cave, Little Black finally let out two groans and followed him. Soon, the figures of one man and one pig disappeared into the depths of the cave’s shadow.

Outside the entrance of the cave behind them, another figure walked over. He was wearing a daoist robe with wide sleeves and a handsome appearance. It was the Prime Minister surnamed Zhou. His expression was calm as his gaze swept across the 36 cave entrances. He then narrowed his eyes slightly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the tall and majestic mountain peak.

Gao Feng was like a sword, piercing straight into the sky. The mountains rose and fell, and the valleys and valleys were below. The Prime Minister’s gaze swept past, revealing a thoughtful expression. He raised his eyebrows and whispered to himself, “Are the mountains and valleys of the Gaoling Mountains seventy-two?”

As he spoke, his sleeves moved slightly, and he could vaguely see his fingers bend and stretch, as if he was calculating something.

After a while, a bright light flashed in his eyes. He stroked his beard and said, “Hmm? Could it be the ancient secret technique ‘Netherworld Soul Suppressing Lock’? If that’s the case, this place might really be a bit extraordinary …”

He frowned slightly, as if he was pondering something. He withdrew his gaze from the distant mountain peak and returned to the entrances of the caves. His eyes shone brightly. A moment later, his gaze suddenly turned to the second entrance on the left.

“Heavens!”

He spat out an unclear word. In the next moment, his gaze suddenly jumped again. He looked at the seventeenth cave entrance on the left, and then said,

“Earth!”

Then, his eyes flashed and his gaze suddenly turned. He tilted slightly and looked at the sixth cave entrance on the right. He said,

“Die!”

His gaze flickered as he looked at the ninth cave entrance on the right and said,

“Live!”

He looked at the eleventh cave entrance on the right and said,

“Break!”

He looked at the eighth hole on the left and said,

“Hide!”

As he spoke, he seemed to want to continue to read and say these inexplicable words. Suddenly, he was stunned. His gaze slowly turned back. A trace of surprise appeared on his face as he looked at the ninth cave entrance on the right side of the row of caves once again.

After a while, he suddenly laughed, shook his head and smiled,

“This little friend’s luck seems pretty good. However, is it really luck …”

The Prime Minister stood there and pondered for a moment. Then, he turned around and calmly walked towards the second entrance on the left side of the cave. Then, he walked in.

④

After entering the cave, Shen Shi quickly felt his eyes darken. The light seemed to be blocked off from the entrance of the cave. However, he soon discovered that there was a faint dark green light on the stone wall of the cave. He could not see it from the brightly lit area outside the cave. Only when he was in the abdomen did he realize that the cave was filled with this strange light, allowing him to barely see the surrounding scenery.

Looking over roughly, There didn’t seem to be many traces of man-made excavation in the cave, The stone walls around the cave could not be considered smooth and smooth. There were many sharp and strange-shaped stones that abruptly appeared. However, the path beneath his feet was fairly smooth. After walking for a while, under the dim green light shining on the surrounding stone walls, Shen Shi suddenly felt that the surroundings had suddenly quieted down. Other than himself, there seemed to be no one else.

In the vast cave, it was as if he was the only person left. Even the shadow behind him looked twisted and sinister in the dark green light. In the darkness, it gave people the strange illusion of being in the legendary hell of the Yellow Springs, causing people to be shocked.

Fortunately, at this moment, a grunt sounded at his feet, dispelling the suffocating silence. A familiar figure ran to Shen Shi’s feet, dispelling the unexplained loneliness and loneliness, bringing some warmth.

Shen Shi smiled and bent down to touch Little Hei’s head. Little Hei Pig looked up at him and grinned. Then, he rubbed his head against Shen Shi’s palm.

Shen Shi stood up once again and looked forward. He saw a deep coldness in front of him, and a faint darkness in the deeper depths. The road beneath his feet began to tilt downwards obviously, as if the place that this cave led to was deep underground.

Was the place in front of him the legendary tomb that contained treasures, or was it the terrifying hell of the Yellow Springs?

Shen Shi smiled and said to Little Hei, “Let’s continue.”

“Hmph.” Little Black whispered, as if he had agreed straightforwardly.

Shen Shi lightly kicked its butt and said with a smile,

“Then you go ahead, I’ll cut off the rear!”

“Oh, coax …”

This time, the little black pig snorted in dissatisfaction.
