Killing God - Chapter 222
Chapter 222 Corpse Moss
Shen Shi was shocked. He immediately bullied his body forward. At the same time, he flipped his wrist and in the blink of an eye, a scorching fireball flew out, directly hitting the Corpse King’s face.
This time, Shen Shi used a talisman. After he broke through to the Origin Condensation Realm, At this moment, the benefits of the Five Elements Technique finally appeared. His hands almost didn’t stop. At the same time, he used both of his hands together. As the talismans instantly appeared in his hands and burned, fireballs appeared in his left and right hands at almost uninterrupted speeds. They formed a torrent of fireballs in midair and charged towards the Corpse King with imposing momentum.
After the Corpse King poisoned Little Hei, he roared angrily and wanted to chase after the hateful black pig and crush it. However, in the blink of an eye, he saw the fireball charging towards him. He had no choice but to take a step back and use his arm to block the fireball.
However, in the next moment, before it could even catch its breath, the Corpse King discovered that a few fireballs had arrived one after another like bead crossbows, rumbling loudly. The one who turned around and sprayed poison just now, It was the Corpse Qi that the Corpse King had cultivated for many years, Extremely poisonous, But to others, it’s a poisonous thing, The Corpse King was a precious essence. This time, he was forced to use a trump card. The Corpse King was also heavily injured in origin energy. His originally stiff body movements were much slower now. After blocking the first few fireballs, the Corpse King staggered. In addition, Shen Shi’s casting speed was astonishingly fast. In the end, he was smashed into his face by three fireballs in succession.
The Corpse King let out three muffled thuds in succession. His roar was filled with pain. His enormous body staggered backwards, his hands covering his face. He could vaguely see that even the ghost flames in his eyes had dimmed a lot.
Shen Shi used the fireball technique to force the Corpse King back. For a moment, he couldn’t care less about how injured the Corpse King was. He hurriedly took the opportunity to rush to Xiao Hei’s side and grabbed Xiao Hei’s hind legs and dragged him back.
Just two steps away, Suddenly, a vague mutter came from Little Hei in his hand. Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly turned around and saw that the black gas had dissipated. Little Hei’s pig head was revealed again. His eyes were somewhat blank and dull, as if he couldn’t distinguish the situation clearly. He stared blankly at the surroundings.
Shen Shi grabbed Little Hei in front of him, shook his body a few times, and said anxiously, “Little Hei, Little Hei?”
Little Hei was quick-witted, and his body trembled for a moment. Then, he looked at Shen Shi and let out a “wuwu” sound, as if he had responded to Shen Shi’s call.
Shen Shi frowned slightly. However, when he heard his voice and looked at Little Hei’s appearance, he didn’t seem to have any signs of poisoning. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, it was a strange moment in his heart when he saw that Little Hei’s expression had suddenly twisted and his eyes rolled.
Shen Shi was shocked again. Just as he was worried about whether this was the time for the poison to break out, he saw that Little Hei’s expression was strange for a moment. Then, he let out a “Uh” sound. From the looks of it, it seemed that … it seemed like he had burped a little.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. Little Hei shook his head. He seemed to have completely returned to normal. At the same time, his mouth actually pouted twice, as if he was still feeling endless.
Just as they were glaring at each other, a loud noise suddenly came from the front. Shen Shi and Xiao Hei turned around at the same time and saw that the Corpse King’s face was charred black. Even his fierce facial features seemed to have been slightly tilted by the power of Shen Shi’s fireballs earlier. However, they turned around and ran towards the Corpse Mountain with large strides.
Shen Shi sneered and stood up. At this moment, the outcome of this battle was already clear. Although he did not know why the Corpse King’s housekeeper’s poison gas was actually ineffective against Little Hei, since the situation was like this, how could he not take advantage of this opportunity to beat down a dog?
“Go!”
Shen Shi pointed at the Corpse King, and Little Hei seemed to be more active than his master. After he regained consciousness, even before Shen Shi gave the order, Little Hei had already rushed out and headed straight for the Corpse King.
When the Corpse King heard the commotion behind him, he took large strides and looked back. He saw that Little Hei was rushing towards him. However, a moment later, a ball of fire lit up again and it was Shen Shi who activated another fireball spell to shoot towards him.
In this battle, the Corpse King had really suffered a lot under this fireball technique. At this moment, he subconsciously felt a bit afraid. He turned around and ran away, as if he had a premonition that he might not be able to defeat these two sinister and cunning enemies.
However, in order to avoid the fireball technique, the Corpse King had no choice but to step aside. His speed instantly stopped. When he took another big step back to the Corpse Mountain, his feet suddenly stiffened. He lowered his head and saw that the ankle of his hind leg had actually been bitten by the black pig without any courtesy.
Although Little Hei’s body looked almost out of proportion to the size of the Corpse King, But the power that burst forth from Little Hei’s tiny body, However, it was also not to be underestimated. The pig clenched its teeth and pulled back with a low roar. Just as the Corpse King was running forward, its entire body lost its balance. After a strange cry, the Corpse King’s entire body fell down like a falling golden mountain and a falling jade pillar.
Shen Shi rushed over from behind. After witnessing this scene with his own eyes, The ferocious Corpse King suffered such a setback. It seemed that he was also vicious. He roared angrily and was about to sit up and fight to the death. However, as soon as he raised his head, his vision suddenly darkened. A powerful pig’s hoof heavily imprinted itself on his forehead. With a loud “dong” sound, his fanged head, which was already in a state of utter mess, was knocked to the ground.
Shen Shi walked over amidst the Corpse King’s roars and cries of pain. Looking at Little Hei, who was arrogantly standing on the corpse king’s chest, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile and said, “That’s right.” As he spoke, a fireball slowly lit up in his hand.
Little Hei snorted proudly twice. The Corpse King beneath his feet seemed to have fainted. An unknown amount of black liquid flowed out from his mouth and nose. It was obvious that he had lost consciousness after being heavily injured in the head. However, relying on his instinct, the Corpse King still let out a low roar and waved his claws weakly in an attempt to tear something apart.
Shen Shi stood in front of the Corpse King and looked down at it from above. He flipped his wrist and the fireball spell struck down, striking the Corpse King’s face once again without any fancy whatsoever.
“Roar …”
With a hoarse roar, the Corpse King’s head suddenly snapped backwards and landed heavily on the ground. At the same time, his body twitched. After a moment, he finally stiffened and stopped.
④
On the Corpse King’s ugly and ferocious face, the two balls of ghost flames in his eyes slowly extinguished. As for this underground cave, it seemed to have regained its calm with the death of this ghost. Shen Shi even felt that even the thick smell of blood from before was much lighter.
However, Shen Shi did not know whether this feeling was real or whether he had gradually gotten used to this aura after standing here for a long time. After staring at the Corpse King for a while and confirming that the ghost was no longer alive, he finally let out a sigh of relief. After a moment of silence, he turned around and looked around again.
In the red light, The mountain of corpses piled up by the corpses of cultivators still looked terrifying and terrifying in the shadows. The twisted and strange red river above his head seemed to be completely unaffected by the outside world. It was still flowing quietly, including the strange bone fish in the bright red river water. It seemed to be ignoring the changes in the outside world, and was still swimming in the river water on its own.
Amidst the red light, everything here was exceptionally strange.
Shen Shi swept his gaze over and stood silently for a while, as if he was pondering something. Then, his gaze returned to the Corpse King’s body, which was already lying stiff on the ground, and he squatted down.
His gaze swept across the ghost’s body, and he frowned slightly, as if he was recalling something.
“If I remember correctly, there should be something on this Corpse King’s body …”
He reached out half of his hand and suddenly retracted it. After thinking for a while, he took out a small box from his Ruyi bag, and at the same time, a small knife appeared in his right hand.
The blade shone brightly under the red light. Seeing that it was only a few inches long, Shen Shi carefully flipped the hilt of the blade on the Corpse King’s left arm. Soon, he discovered that there was a layer of grayish brown powder on the inside of the upper arm that was faintly emitting a trace of miserable green powder that adhered to the corpse king’s arm’s flesh.
A trace of joy flashed across Shen Shi’s face as he nodded slightly. Then, he carefully used the blade to gently scrape off the thin layer of fine powder and landed in the small box. There wasn’t much fine powder on this arm. It looked like it was only the size of half a palm, and there was only an extremely thin layer that fell off. However, with just a few blows, the blade of the knife had already turned a little black.
Shen Shi glanced at the knife in his hand. There was no change in his expression. He frowned slightly and continued to search the Corpse King’s body. Soon, he found similar pieces of fine powder on the Corpse King’s right arm, left leg, back and abdomen. The area was not too large and the amount was not large. However, after Shen Shi carefully scratched it, the small box was finally filled with such fine powder.
After taking out all the fine powder that was grayish brown and slightly miserable green, Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up, covered the small box and carefully put it back into the Ruyi bag. He then glanced at the knife in his hand. The entire blade of the knife was already black.
He shook his head. This type of zombie ghost that had been refined for a long time usually had poison on its body. Cultivators were fine, and if mortals were contaminated with it, they would almost certainly die. He casually tossed the knife to the corpse of the Corpse King and took two steps to the side.
The strange fine powder he had just scraped was a spirit material that only grew on ghosts that had been refined in the Yin Fiend Grounds for a long time. Its name was “Corpse Moss”. It was very rare, and it was highly toxic in nature. However, it was something necessary for certain pill formulas. It was ranked third in the Primordial Chaos Pharmacopoeia, and because its source was rare, it was extremely expensive on the market.
From Shen Shi’s point of view, perhaps it was because this Corpse King ghost had been refined for a long time, and the quality of the corpse moss he took from his body was extremely good. Just this half-small box of corpse moss was worth at least five hundred spirit crystals. With this item, the harvest from this trip could already be said to be worthwhile.
Shen Shi pondered for a moment. He thought to himself that the ghost he had encountered was already so powerful. If it wasn’t for the Five Elements Technique he had learned and the Little Hei Pig seemingly restraining this ghost, he might have died here. Looking at the corpses of dozens of cultivators on the Corpse Mountain, his heart would have retreated a little.
There were many shadows ahead, Danger is unfathomable, Shen Shi shook his head. In the end, he decided that he couldn’t take any more risks, Just as he was about to summon the little pig to leave the cave, Suddenly, Little Hei pig ran to the left side of the mountain. It seemed to be under a mountain wall. With a flash of red light, he could see a few large stones piled up there. Other than that, there was nothing unusual about it. On the right side of the mountain, more than ten zhang away, a deep tunnel appeared. It seemed to lead to the deeper parts of the cave.
Shen Shi frowned and said, “Little Hei, let’s go.”
Xiao Hei turned around and looked at him. Suddenly, he cried out, “Hmph hmph hmph hmph.” At the same time, he sniffed the stones for a while before raising a pig’s foot and knocking on one of the stones a few times.
Shen Shi was stunned. He seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly walked over. When he stopped beside Little Hei, Little Hei let out a low cry.
Shen Shi’s expression looked a little strange. He silently looked at the little pig, then his gaze landed on the ordinary stones in front of him. After a moment of silence, he looked at the little pig and said softly,
“Hou family?”
The little pig nodded
