Killing God - Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Corpse King
The sound of water was faint. It came from the depths of the illusory darkness in front of him. When he first heard it, he seemed to be not far away. However, as he walked, the sound of water seemed to become blurry again. After a while, it became clearer and clearer. Just like this, people were unable to distinguish between the distance and the distance. It was extremely strange. The path beneath his feet continued to extend into the depths of the ground.

Shen Shi could no longer determine how far he had gone after entering the cave. The only thing he knew was that he was already deep underground. The silence in the empty cave passageway made him a little nervous. However, Shen Shi remembered a similar experience. When he was still young, he and Zhong Qingyu Island accidentally fell into that dark cave during the storm in Qingzhu.

I wonder if it’s because of this experience, So when faced with this strange cave that was as gloomy as the Underworld, Shen Shi’s mood was quite calm. He even thought of Zhong Qingzhu. He thought of the ten days that the two of them had struggled to survive in the hopeless situation of the Heaven Pit. Then, he remembered inexplicably how she had returned this time. Outside the Cloud Mountain Hall of the Book Hall, she stood under the shade of the tree and smiled, waved and shouted at him.

A trace of warmth seemed to flash through his heart. The few friends he had when he was young did not seem to have changed much, whether it was Zhong Qingzhu, Zhong Qinglu, or Sun You.

Not far ahead, Little Hei suddenly stopped and let out a low snort.

Shen Shi raised his eyebrows and walked over. Very quickly, he saw a person lying motionlessly on the ground in the dark green light beneath the rock wall in front of him.

Little Hei raised his head and looked at Shen Shi. Shen Shi was silent for a moment, then walked over and gently raised his foot against the person. Under the dark light, the person’s body seemed to stiffen as he rolled over, revealing a stiff and twisted face. His skin was pale and his expression was terrified, but he had already died a long time ago.

Shen Shi frowned. His expression was somewhat solemn. This kind of corpse was already the sixth he had seen along the way, As for ghosts like the ghosts he had encountered before, he had encountered two more. However, because the Five Elements Spell he used restrained ghosts and was much more powerful than ordinary spells, In addition, there was a thick-skinned Little Hei in front of him, so when facing ghosts, Shen Shi was able to deal with it very easily. After finding the right opportunity, he used only one fireball technique to easily kill the two ghosts behind him.

On the other hand, after killing the Yin Spirit, perhaps because Little Black had acted strangely when absorbing the Yin Spirit Essence for the first time, Shen Shi had always paid attention to it. However, Little Black did not do anything unusual. The strange haze in his left eye did not appear again, as if the previous strange behavior was just a flash in the pan.

Almost all of the six dead people they saw along the way were cultivators, presumably people who came to this great tomb to explore and search for treasures. Although Shen Shi was able to deal with the ghosts in the cave so far, as the number of corpses he saw gradually increased, the frequency of the ghosts appearing seemed to have increased. It was obvious that the danger ahead had begun to gradually increase.

Perhaps, shouldn’t we continue adventuring?

Just as he was hesitating in his heart, Little Hei, who was beside him, suddenly felt something. He suddenly raised his head and looked ahead. He snorted as if he was shouting at Shen Shi before running forward.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, a flash of light flashing across his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still followed.

After walking a few more feet, the surrounding caves didn’t seem to have changed much except for the fact that they looked much wider than before. However, Shen Shi suddenly smelled a strong and choking aura.

It was a strong smell of blood.

Little Black seemed to be somewhat uneasy in front of him as he roared in a low voice.

Shen Shi glanced at it and his expression gradually darkened. Then, he raised his head to look at the deep darkness in front of him. After taking a deep breath, he took another step forward.

The strange sound of water that had once come and gone suddenly became clear. In the depths of this quiet cave, it was like a small river flowing quietly. Occasionally, water would splash, or the water would smash against the stones below the surface of the water, making a rumbling sound.

An increasingly moist breeze blew over from the depths of the shadows in front of him. The smell of blood in the air became even more intense as Shen Shi continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, the cave passageway in front of his eyes that had always been seemingly immutable suddenly disappeared. The dark green light emitted from the stone wall dissipated and was replaced by a huge and strange underground hole. The top of the hole was about ten zhang high from the ground, and it was about fifty acres in size. Shen Shi saw the river.

It was a river that he had never seen or even imagined.

A red river floating off the ground.

The red river water flowed down from the darkness at the top of the cave like blood. However, for some unknown reason, the surging water did not pour down like an ordinary waterfall. Instead, it was as gentle as a stream. It floated off the ground like that and slowly flowed through the air.

Hua Hua Shui said, A faint wave appeared in front of Shen Shi, making him almost unable to believe his eyes. He could only see the strange red river water. It even turned in the air, like an invisible river in midair, restricting the red river water to flow steadily into the depths of the darkness in the distance.

Shen Shi even saw a fish in the river water. However, the fish’s appearance made his hair stand on end. Apart from the fish that occasionally swam in the river water, the entire piece of skin and flesh in the middle of the fish was completely missing. Only one bone was connected to it. However, it was precisely in this strange river water that these bone fish swam like living creatures, shaking their heads and tails.

Because there was no light from the dark green light just now, this huge cave was darker than before. However, near the floating red river, perhaps it was because the strange red light emitted from the red river itself lit up the nearby empty space, allowing people to see some of the surroundings.

Shen Shi held his breath. The stench of blood was unbearable, He even suspected that the water in the strange red river was blood. According to ancient legends, there was a river of blood in the Underworld of Yellow Springs. There were countless fierce insects and snakes there, and it was difficult for immortals to cross it. Only a bridge of helplessness could cross the river of blood. Only those who could cross the bridge could enter the Underworld Yellow Springs and enter Samsara.

However, although the Suspended Red River in front of him was strange, it was still very different from the legendary Underworld Blood River. Although the strange bone fish in the river were terrifying, they did not seem to have attacked any living creatures in the outside world.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi felt a little relieved. However, he became even more vigilant and cautious. At this point, it was clear that they were beginning to dig deeper and deeper into the underground tomb, Although he hadn’t discovered anything up until now, seeing such a strange river, there probably wasn’t anything good here. Moreover, he couldn’t figure out where the strong smell of blood came from. Could it really be from that red river?

He slowly took a few more steps forward. Nothing happened. The dark red light on the red river descended, causing the faces of him and the little black pig to look a little eerie. Suddenly, at this moment, Xiao Hei’s body suddenly paused. He seemed to be facing a great enemy. He widened his eyes and looked at the shadows and darkness below the floating red river. He gritted his teeth and made a ferocious appearance. At the same time, he let out an angry roar.

Shen Shi’s heart trembled. A fireball talisman was already silently held in his right palm. Then, he swiftly turned around and faced the darkness.

A strange sound came from the darkness. It sounded creepy, as if some monster was eating flesh and blood. Shen Shi’s pupils shrank slightly and he took a few steps forward, while the Little Hei pig walked in front of him.

A red light fell from the red river above his head, gradually illuminating the darkness. After seeing the scene clearly, Shen Shi’s face suddenly turned pale.

There were actually dozens of corpses piled up there. From the looks of it, they were all cultivators who had come here to take risks. However, at this moment, all of them had died. The corpses had been randomly piled up in one place, forming a small hill of corpses that caused one’s scalp to go numb. At this moment, a gigantic figure that was at least twice the height of an ordinary person was leaning over the mountain of corpses and devouring the flesh and blood of the corpses. Under the red light, it could be seen that this corpse was actually a gigantic zombie with green fangs and skin and flesh like iron. Its two gigantic arms were made of iron, and it was easy to tear apart its flesh and blood. His eyes were like copper bells, and two of them were burning fiercely. They were much brighter than the ghosts that Shen Shi had encountered before.

Shen Shi sucked in a breath of cold air, took a step back, and said in a low voice,

“Corpse King!”

Zombies were also one of the more common types of mysterious and strange ghosts. Legend has it that corpses turned into mutated corpses after death. They ate flesh and blood, had little intelligence, and were usually extremely powerful but clumsy. If one of the many zombies had the chance to absorb the essence of the Ghost Spirit Yin Fiend, it was possible for them to transform into another type of zombie that was exceptionally powerful. This was the Corpse King.

However, Shen Shi immediately frowned. His gaze subconsciously swept across the surroundings, but a trace of doubt flashed across it. He read a lot of books and knew a little about these common ghosts. Corpse Kings weren’t very common. If they appeared, they would definitely be a place with deep Yin Fiends. At the same time, there were many ordinary zombies in the surroundings who allowed them to do whatever they wanted. They had never heard of a Corpse King appearing alone.

However, under the red river, there was clearly only this lonely Corpse King in the shadows. There were no other ordinary zombies. As for the ghosts he had carefully picked up and fought before, The surroundings were also nowhere to be seen. However, this was not a strange place for Shen Shi. There were many types of ghosts, and they never lived in harmony with each other. It was common for them to fight each other. Zombies and yin spirits were two types of ghosts that were incompatible with fire and water. With this Corpse King around, it was perfectly normal for there to be no yin spirits around.

Shen Shi’s gaze subconsciously landed on the strange red river in the sky. The blood-red river water was floating in the air and slowly flowing. This place was filled with strangeness. It seemed that even ghosts, which were already strange, seemed to be affected by some unknown power.

At this moment, Little Hei, who was standing in front of him, seemed a little nervous towards the Corpse King, but his hostility was even greater. He let out an even angrier roar, which finally alerted the Corpse King who was immersed in flesh and blood. On the Corpse Mountain, the ghost slowly raised its head and looked over.

The two burning ghost flames reflected the shadows of Shen Shi and Little Pig, flickering non-stop.
