Killing God - Chapter 224

Chapter 224 Blood Devouring Devil Tree
When the red wave descended from the sky and swept over Shen Shi like thunder, Shen Shi felt that the world in front of him had instantly sunk into a bloody red color. It was as if his body could no longer be controlled by him, and he couldn’t help but be carried into the ground by the intense water currents. Then, it was endless darkness.

In the darkness, He had been knocked against the stone wall many times by the water. In his panic, he suddenly heard Little Hei’s scream from the water not far away. Shen Shi subconsciously shouted towards that direction. At the same time, he stretched out his arm recklessly. After hitting Little Hei a few times in the water, he miraculously grabbed one of his feet and dragged it over.

Little Black was obviously at a loss for what to do with this sudden change, appearing somewhat frightened. However, after being caught in Shen Shi’s embrace, Little Black immediately quieted down, as if leaning against Shen Shi’s side, its fear dissipated a lot.

This torrent rumbled forward. The current was extremely fast, and it was getting faster and faster. Shen Shi gradually couldn’t hold on to the current and his consciousness began to blur. However, his hands were still tightly hugging Little Hei’s body. Perhaps in this dangerous and dark world, he and Little Hei were the only objects of peace of mind for each other.

When he finally couldn’t hold on in the darkness and felt that his last consciousness would dissipate, he vaguely saw a faint light, a gentle and faint light, shining in the depths of the darkness in front of the surging waves of water.

Then, he didn’t know anything.

The sound of ticking sounds seemed to come from afar, but it seemed to fall into his ears, coming and going, crisp and rhythmic.

Shen Shi’s body twitched slightly and he gradually regained consciousness. However, before he opened his eyes, he felt a burst of pain coming from all over his body. It was as if dozens of people were beating him up with sticks at the same time.

He couldn’t help but grin slightly and suck in a breath of cold air. Then, he opened his eyes. When he entered his eyes, he was immediately stunned.

Because he saw the sky.

It was a gloomy sky filled with gray clouds. Although the light was dim, it was a fake sky.

Shen Shi looked at the sky blankly. He couldn’t regain his senses for a moment because he clearly remembered that he was in the depths of the Gaoling Mountain Range before being washed away by the current. The direction of the current was clearly towards the darker and deeper underground. How could he see the sky?

After thinking for a while, he couldn’t understand what was going on. Shen Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly. At this moment, he heard a sudden sound of water coming from not far away. He turned around and saw Little Hei, and at the same time, he saw where he was standing.

This seemed to be a swamp-like place. It was about an acre in size. The water was lush with grass and clear water. The surface of the water was shallow, and one could even see mud and rocks underwater. There were also some small fish the size of fingers swimming in a pleasant manner. For some unknown reason, Shen Shi was currently lying in this swamp-like pond.

He sat up and immediately splashed with water. He discovered that his entire body was completely soaked. Not far from him, Little Hei seemed to have woken up earlier than Shen Shi. He jumped up and down in the water. Countless splashes of water splashed all the way to Shen Shi’s side. He dawdled and looked very affectionate.

Shen Shi smiled and nodded to it. No matter what, even if he didn’t know where he was at the moment, as long as he had Little Hei by his side, it would always make people feel more comfortable. He then stood up and discovered that apart from some flesh and skin injuries, he did not seem to have suffered any more injuries. His heart felt a little relieved.

Standing in the middle of the pond wet, Shen Shi looked around. Around the pond, there was a grey-black forest. The reason for that was because all the trees around the pond were the same strange grey-black tree. Not only were the branches and trunks of the trees this color, but even the leaves they grew were grey-black.

This strange grey tree grew densely around the pond. Only in the north direction, it seemed to be the exit of the pond. A four to five foot wide waterway slowly flowed out from there. Both sides of the waterway were also covered with this kind of grey-black forest.

Shen Shi stared at the grey trees around the pond for a while. His expression was somewhat uncertain. A moment later, he suddenly bent down and stretched his hands below the water. Little Hei, who was beside him, could not figure out what his master wanted to do. He looked at him in surprise.

Shen Shi calmly looked at the water. He slightly folded his hands. After a while, a small fish from the pond swam over. Shen Shi’s hands suddenly closed and water splashed down from the gap between his palms. The small fish began to jump in his palms.

Shen Shi carefully grabbed the small fish. After staring at it for a moment, he suddenly raised his hand and threw it towards the edge of the pond. The small fish drew an arc in midair and soon landed on the trunk of a grey tree.

Chad’s free little fish struggled desperately. It seemed to be panicking. It twisted its body and wanted to jump back into the pond. However, for some reason, the little fish that should have fallen suddenly stiffened. It did not fall from the tree trunk. The scene looked rather strange, as if … this little fish was stuck by something.

Fishy didn’t die or get hurt, It could not break free from the side of the tree trunk, Therefore, the little fish was still struggling desperately, but at this moment, the grey tree actually let out a strange chuckle. Several branches slowly fell down from above, and the grey leaves on the branches of the tree tips stuck to the tree trunk one by one. In this way, under Shen Shi’s gaze, they covered the little fish’s figure.

A moment later, the little fish that was still bouncing around not long ago disappeared like this. And now, looking around, this grey-black forest that was dense and deep in darkness suddenly became so gloomy.

Shen Shi’s expression slowly turned ugly. He withdrew his gaze from the strange tree and said softly,

“Blood Devouring Tree.”

④

The Blood Devouring Tree was born in another world, not owned by the Primordial Chaos Main World. Its nature was heavy and hard, and its entire body was profound black. It was not afraid of droughts or floods, but it loved to eat flesh and blood. It nourished its body with the essence of flesh and blood. It was an extremely rare magical tree that could hunt living demonic beasts and even human cultivators.

In the past, when Shen Shi was reading a book, he had seen records of this kind of magical tree in a miscellaneous journal. It mentioned that the Bloodthirsty Tree was very strange, If any living creature were to come near the tree, the Blood Devouring Tree would secrete a strange slime to firmly stick to its prey and devour it. It was said that some low-grade demonic beasts would undoubtedly die if they encountered this kind of demonic tree. As for human cultivators, there weren’t many records. However, the article speculated that if Origin Condensation Realm cultivators encountered this strange demonic tree, they would probably find it difficult to deal with.

But in the records of this dreadful bloodthirsty tree, It was clear that they only grew in some extremely remote alien realms, and most of them were in some desolate jungles. It was rare not to mention that even if they occasionally discovered them, there was only one that grew alone. It was as if the bloodthirsty forest that Shen Shi had seen now was something he had never heard of before.

Seeing the fate of the little fish just now, and recalling the written records about the Blood Devouring Tree that he had read before, Shen Shi immediately felt a chill pour down his spine. Yet, this small pond was surrounded by so many strange Blood Devouring Tree. It really made his scalp go numb.

The sky was still gloomy. The gray-black forest beneath the clouds was quiet and silent. It seemed that not even light could penetrate through it. There was only endless darkness. Shen Shi even faintly felt that something strange was quietly and coldly looking at him in the darkness of the forest.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Shi withdrew his gaze from the bloodthirsty forest with some difficulty. He called out to Little Hei softly and then looked around. He walked towards the exit of the pond, which was also the only way out.

As for the magical trees near the shore, he didn’t want to go there at all, not even the slightest bit.

The water rippled under his feet, causing ripples to appear in the original pond. Shen Shi carefully looked at the surrounding situation and suddenly thought of a question. With so many bloodthirsty trees, how did they usually survive and grow when they saw how tall and dense they were?

He didn’t know if it was because of this bloodthirsty forest, but he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something strange around him. After carefully examining his surroundings, Shen Shi discovered that besides some small swimming fish in the pond, there was no longer any aura of life around him.

There were no bird cries, no beast roars, not even the most ordinary bug cries. There was a deathly silence everywhere, as if all the life had disappeared here, or was completely sucked dry by this grey-black forest.

The corner of Shen Shi’s eyes twitched slightly. He walked more and more carefully. He only walked in the middle of the waterway and didn’t want to get close to the shore at all. However, the waterway at the exit was only four to five feet wide at most. The bloodthirsty trees on both sides of the river grew densely, and some branches were even very close to the waterside.

As they walked, there was still no end in front of them. However, everywhere they looked, this waterway flowed calmly and slowly. The bloodthirsty trees on both sides of the waterway seemed to have no end in sight, and they continued to extend.

With the sound of water, even Xiao Hei seemed to have sensed something, appearing exceptionally honest as he quietly followed at Shen Shi’s feet.

Just as Shen Shi was at a loss as to how he should leave this bizarre and extremely dangerous bloodthirsty forest, the waterway in front of him suddenly turned and an open space suddenly appeared.

Shen Shi’s spirits instantly trembled. He quickly took a few steps and discovered that another pond of similar size had appeared in front of him. The only difference was that although there were also those strange bloodthirsty forests right in front of the pond, there was an additional road in the forest that stretched straight ahead. It was unknown where it led to.

At the very front of the forest road was an arch in front of the pond. It seemed to have some handwriting on it, but it was now blurry. Beneath the archway, there was a stone pier in the middle of the road. The spikes on the stone pier were uneven and uneven. It looked like a statue or something that had been placed here before, but after a long time, only the broken stone pedestal remained.

Although he didn’t know where this path led to, Shen Shi subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. Walking through these demonic trees that could be devoured at any moment, the pressure on people was truly great.

He led Xiao Hei through the pond and onto the ground. He turned around and looked behind him. The water waves gradually calmed down. There seemed to be no traces left along the way.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but he bent down and whispered to Little Hei, “Can you smell the scent of the Hou Clan here?”

Little Hei shook his head in confusion.
