Killing God - Chapter 218
Chapter 218 Foodie
The sound of footsteps stepping on the quiet passageway of the cave was like pebbles thrown into the calm water. It was so clear and abrupt, as if it did not fit in with the dark green of the surroundings.
Front and rear, Shen Shi didn’t even see a human figure, which made him feel strange. Logically speaking, the news from this tomb had indeed spread for a period of time. There were a large number of well-informed cultivators who came here to explore for treasures. The people who entered earlier didn’t say anything, but when Shen Shi arrived at this valley today, he clearly saw many cultivators who had come at the same time.
The thirty-six caves had obviously thinned out the density of the cultivators that had come here, but it didn’t seem to be as cold as this. Or perhaps, the other cultivators in the cave that he was in just happened to miss it, so he was the only one right now?
Shen Shi frowned and pondered in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop. He continued to walk slowly towards the depths of the cave with Little Hei.
The passageway beneath his feet was fairly flat. It seemed to be constantly moving downwards. At the same time, Shen Shi unknowingly discovered that the surrounding caves seemed to be much wider. Dark green light flickered, and it was unfathomable. It was also deep underground. In his trance, he felt as if he had come to the Underworld of Yellow Springs, an ancient legend.
According to ancient legends, beneath the thick earth was the place of reincarnation, commonly known as the Underworld Earth. After the creatures of this world aged and died, their souls would all enter the Underworld. They would become ghosts and ghosts, and once they entered reincarnation, they would be reincarnated. Life and death, reincarnation.
This legend had been passed down in the world for tens of thousands of years and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, there weren’t many cultivators in the cultivation world who believed in this thing. It was only because they cultivated to seek immortality, to seek immortality, to ascend to the Immortal realm, and to cultivate this life. Who would be willing to place their hopes on the unknown and faint afterlife?
There was another legend. Apart from the Primordial Chaos Master Realm and the Dragon Realm, there was also a place known as the Ghost Realm. It was quite similar to the Underworld of Yellow Springs. However, no one had actually seen it for many years.
Shen Shi liked to read books since he was young. Naturally, he had read all these ancient legends. Therefore, when he looked at the gloomy and deserted cave scene around him, his expression was somewhat solemn. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a faint sound of water coming from ahead.
At this moment, he had already entered this cave quite far. Considering that he had walked all the way down, he should be deep below the ground. The sudden sound of water coming from ahead shocked him instantly. Then, he thought, could it be a place like the underground river?
A slightly moist breeze blew over from the darkness in front of the cave. It seemed to vaguely confirm some of his speculations. The Little Hei pig was leaning closer to him. After pondering for a moment, Shen Shi whispered, “We’ve already walked this far. Let’s go take a look.”
Little Black Piggy looked up at him without any expression, but he quickly continued to walk forward.
However, they had only taken a few steps when their bodies suddenly trembled slightly at the same time. They stopped again. Shen Shi’s expression was gloomy, and the Little Hei Pig seemed to be a little nervous as it roared at the darkness in front of them twice.
A strange pale white figure flashed in the darkness. It seemed as if a figure had appeared half-seated and half-leaning against a rock wall in front of him. At the same time, an extremely strange and faint sound of chattering could be heard coming from the front.
Shen Shi held his breath. After waiting for a moment, he walked forward quietly and saw the situation of the person in front of him. His expression immediately changed.
It was a person who looked like a cultivator. His head was hanging down on his chest, and he was sitting with his back against the stone wall. From Shen Shi, only half of his face could be seen, but one could still see the expression of fear on his face. However, the muscles on this person’s face were stiff, his eyes were wide open, but there was no sign of him. He had already died for a long time.
But what was even more frightening was that, On the corpse of this dead cultivator, There was actually a white silhouette that looked like a veil of mist. It faintly resembled the human form of the upper half of its body, but its lower half was illusory, like a ghost. It was absorbing strands of indiscernible vitality from the corpse. The strange pale white silhouette that Shen Shi saw earlier was also the silhouette of this monster.
Seemingly sensing another outsider approaching, the white shadow suddenly raised its head and looked towards Shen Shi. At the same time, it also revealed its face in front of Shen Shi.
It was a facial expression, But like its body, It seemed to be made up of a strange white mist, The entire face looked like it could discern the five facial features, but its appearance was so strange that it was extremely blurry that it could not even distinguish whether it was a man or a woman. Moreover, there were no eyes in that pair of eyes. Only two balls of dark flames were burning faintly, revealing a fierce greed. That was an infinite desire to be angry with living creatures.
“Yin Spirit!”
Shen Shi took a step back. His face was as heavy as water, but there wasn’t much panic on his face. A talisman had quietly appeared in his palm.
Yin Spirit was one of the ghosts, and it was also the most common kind of strange monster. In the Primordial Chaos Realms, Ghosts have always been a strange and mysterious thing, Unlike demonic beasts with distinct levels, For a long time, ghosts did not have a clear grade judgement to distinguish strength. This was because this type of monster was still quite rare in general. Usually, it would only appear in places with extremely dense Yin Qi, such as the ancient tomb cellar, or the Yin Ground Battlefield. Of course, if there was a place where corpses piled up like mountains, this type of ghost would definitely appear.
There are many kinds of ghosts, and not limited to human form, Many demonic beasts were powerful divine beasts and even after the death of the ancient dragon, By chance, it was possible for ghosts to form. Of course, these conditions were rather harsh and rare. Usually, ghosts, zombies, puppets, and other ghosts were the most common. They weren’t particularly powerful, but each of them had its own peculiarities. It was very troublesome to deal with. For example, ghosts like Yin Spirit’s body was like white mist. Even some divine abilities in the Origin Condensation Realm were difficult to hit. Or perhaps, after hitting it, for some reason, the damage would be greatly reduced, causing a headache for cultivators.
However, when Shen Shi saw that after the initial shock, his expression quickly calmed down, and there was no fear on his face. Back when he was cultivating in Qingyu Island, he had already seen these ghosts on Demon Island. Therefore, there was nothing to fear. On the contrary, he knew the weakness of ghosts like the Yin Spirit in his heart.
The Yin Spirits weren’t too afraid of some powerful divine abilities in the Origin Condensation Realm, but they were very afraid of some of the Five Elements Spells. The most obvious and powerful method of restraint was the subordinate and five-element lightning techniques, such as lightning strikes, heavenly lightning techniques, lightning falling techniques, and so on. They were extremely restrained against all sorts of ghosts, and their damage was also the most obvious. Unfortunately, Shen Shi still hadn’t had the chance to learn lightning magic. After complaining in his heart for a while, Shen Shi looked ahead and his right index finger grabbed a fireball magic talisman, ready to activate it at any time.
Apart from the Metal Lightning Technique, which naturally restrained ghosts, the Fire Technique’s damage to ghosts was not bad, while the remaining Water, Wood, and Earth spells were much less effective. These experiences were all from Shen Shi’s books in the past. Of course, he did not know why it was like this. In any case, the predecessors had already summarized these things, so it was absolutely not wrong.
The Yin Spirit stared at Shen Shi like a ghost fire. A crazy and cruel aura spurted out. It suddenly opened its mouth and let out an ear-piercing scream. Almost at the same time, the pale Yin Spirit soared into the sky like a miserable white mist, pouncing towards Shen Shi.
Shen Shi stared at the pouncing Yin Spirit and felt the mournful and gloomy wind blowing towards his face. However, his body did not have any intention of dodging it. Instead, his pupils contracted slightly.
A black shadow suddenly jumped out from before him. This time, Little Black dashed forward bravely and fearlessly, pouncing towards the Yin Spirit and his body.
The ghost seemed to hesitate for a moment. However, perhaps it was because in the eyes of these ghosts, a black pig and a human belonged to the category of living creatures. There was not much difference, so its attention was quickly attracted to Little Hei. After letting out another scream, two clumps of white mist floated up, like its two ghost claws, fiercely grabbing onto Little Hei’s body.
The wind was strong, and the sound of air breaking was incomparably sharp. Not to mention an ordinary person being unable to resist, this Yin Spirit was a demonic beast with a tyrannical body. If it was only a low-grade First and Second Grade demonic beast, it would also be difficult to resist. With a single grab, two large bloody holes would probably appear.
However, Little Black ignored the two fierce claws and continued to charge forward aggressively. In the next moment, the pale white claws instantly grabbed onto both sides of its abdomen. Only two muffled sounds could be heard from Little Black’s stomach.
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly looked at Little Black. He saw the Yin Spirit’s sharp claws suddenly bend around Little Black’s belly. That aggressive grab actually did not pierce through Little Black’s belly. At the same time, Little Black’s head had already smashed into Little Black’s chest.
Although the Yin Spirit looked like a fog, it was still not completely illusory. After being hit by Little Hei, its entire body flew backwards like a white fog. At the same time, it still seemed to be unable to understand that this extraordinarily thick pig was actually able to block its two claws. In shock and anger, it screamed again.
However, just as it was howling, a scorching and bright light suddenly blocked its two ghost-like eyes. At that moment, apart from a scorching and sensitive fireball, the Yin Spirit could no longer see anything else.
Five Elements Technique-Fireball Technique.
There were fireballs about half the size of a ghost’s head, Shen Shi’s incomparably quick-witted provocation shot towards him. After reaching the Origin Condensation Realm and opening up the Jade Manor Dantian, After gathering all the spiritual energy in his body, Shen Shi had already reached a new level in the control of the Five Elements Spell Technique. Even if he didn’t use the spiritual energy in the mysterious aperture between his eyebrows, just using the spiritual energy in his dantian to activate the talisman would take him very little time. At the same time, the number of times he could cast the spell would greatly increase.
This was also one of the important reasons why Shen Shi chose the Golden Stone Armor when he chose his first divine ability.
The fireball quickly grew larger in front of the ghost. The greed and viciousness in the ghost fire quickly turned into despair. In the next moment, the fireball hit the ghost’s face.
“Bang!” With a loud shout.
A sturdy sound without any fancy whatsoever.
The Dark Spirit’s body was sent flying. The burning flames burned wildly, instantly burning its head. In the flames, there seemed to be a shrill cry, but it quickly returned to silence. However, when the flames extinguished, the Dark Spirit’s head had already disappeared.
The corner of Shen Shi’s mouth twitched slightly. The damage this fireball technique had done to the Phantasms was indeed quite obvious. It was even beyond his expectations. Without any reason, he suddenly remembered the appearance of being chased by those Phantasms on the Demon Island and fleeing in a sorry state. It was as if it was still vaguely yesterday.
The cave became quiet again. Shen Shi took a deep breath and calmed down a lot. As long as the fireball technique still had a strong impact on the ghosts here, he didn’t need to be too afraid. However, very quickly, an even weirder voice suddenly came from the front. It snorted. For a moment, it seemed difficult to tell what it was. Shen Shi’s heart tightened as he thought that a new ghost had appeared.
However, when he looked forward with rapt attention, he was immediately stunned. Then, his eyes slowly widened, with a strange expression that was somewhat inconceivable. He said in astonishment,
“Really, Little Hei, you can even eat … ghosts?”
