Killing God - Chapter 226
Chapter 226 Suppress
The road stretched straight ahead. No one knew where it led to. However, on either side of the road, which was not particularly spacious, there were numerous Bloodthirsty Devil Trees. The grey branches and leaves stretched out endlessly, forming a grey forest. It seemed that as long as one stretched out their hands, they could touch these terrifying Devil Trees.
Of course, Shen Shi did not have such an inexplicable curiosity. He brought Little Hei along and carefully walked in the middle of this path, far away from these Bloodthirsty Devil Trees. However, the Bloodthirsty Tree was so close. Although the grey trees didn’t seem to have any strange movements, the pressure of silence still made people feel suffocated.
Walking on this path, he was completely focused and cautious, as if he had expended more energy than traveling through mountains and rivers. At the very least, Shen Shi had been paying full attention to the surrounding trees and didn’t dare to be distracted in the slightest.
By contrast, Little Hei, who was following behind him, seemed to be a little more relaxed. However, along the way, he walked honestly in the middle of the road and did not like to drill into the bushes beside him as usual. As he walked, Little Hei’s body suddenly froze, as if he had sensed something. He turned around and glanced at their path of arrival.
A gray mist had already spread out from the forest behind them, blocking their path of origin. Under the cloudy sky, the mist silently drifted towards them quietly and slowly. Behind the dense fog, all the scenery seemed to become somewhat hazy and blurry. Including the Bloodthirsty Devil Trees in the fog, one by one, they seemed to be swaying in the fog. Their gray and black figures were like ghosts in the Underworld’s Yellow Springs. They were vivid and could not be seen clearly.
Little Hei stared blankly for a moment. He suddenly turned around and quickened his pace. He chased after Shen Shi a few times. Perhaps it was his master’s figure that gave him some courage and dependence. Little Hei seemed to be a bit more courageous. He couldn’t help but look back.
At this moment, All of a sudden, the fog that had come from nowhere started to roll. The speed of the surging forward suddenly accelerated, Almost at the same time, It was like a shrill howl from the Nine Nether Springs. An invisible force surged in this deathly silent forest. In an instant, a grey mist rose up in the darkness of the forest around them. Even in front of them, a dense mist spread out, floating from all directions, surrounding Shen Shi and Little Hei.
Shen Shi stopped in shock before he wanted to say anything. He opened his mouth but was speechless. An icy cold aura emitted from the thick fog around him, filled with indifference and a hint of greed and desire to devour blood.
Above his head, above the forest, the dark clouds were extremely dense and lowered, as if they were within reach of the tentacles above the forest. The winds and clouds moved, and the gray and black clouds slowly churned, and a vague vortex was about to appear.
A wisp of dark red light was right above their heads. In the depths of the dark clouds, it was as if they were about to descend. It was as if a pair of eyes that had slept for thousands of years were finally about to open.

In the mountains of the high hills, beneath the valleys.
In front of a row of pitch-black caves, Outside the 108 lifelike stone statues of exotic beasts, The middle-aged Xiangshi surnamed Zhou, who had outstanding appearance, was carrying his hands behind his back. He paced back and forth in the open space with his brows knitted tightly. He would occasionally look up at the caves with a look of hesitation and contemplation on his face. Occasionally, he would reveal an expression of eagerness. However, every time he did, he would look back at the stone statues behind him. It was as if he was afraid of something and did not dare to take a step forward.
When he hastily left the second cave on the left, he didn’t know what he had encountered in the cave. It looked like he was in a sorry state. However, at this moment, he should have cleaned up his appearance a little. The dust on his face had been wiped off, and his clothes were completely new. From the looks of it, it seemed like he had changed into a new daoist robe. Only the green rod in his hand remained the same as before. It was still quietly at his hand, warm and emerald green.
At this moment, the Prime Minister was whispering to himself, He muttered, “A land of great viciousness, a land of great viciousness” As he spoke, he bent his finger and formed a few more strange magic seals. After calculating for a while, he seemed to be somewhat reluctant. After thinking for a while, he took out a very old tortoise shell from his bosom. There were a few obvious cracks at the edges, and three dark gold colored ancient coins were embedded in the depression of the tortoise shell.
The Prime Minister held the tortoise shell in his hand with a serious expression. He clasped his hands together and prayed silently for a while. Then, he flicked his finger slightly and the three ancient coins flew into the air from the tortoise shell. He gently placed the tortoise shell on the ground and stared at the ancient coins falling back to the tortoise shell with his eyes wide open.
This tortoise shell divination method had a long history, and there were countless tricks in the world. However, looking at the Xiangshi’s expression, he seemed to care about his ancient tortoise shell divination method.
Just as the ancient coin landed and was about to return to the tortoise shell, a force suddenly surged forth. One of the coins suddenly moved a little horizontally and collided with the other one that landed at the same time. With a crisp “ding” sound, the ancient coin was instantly knocked open and landed on the hard ground outside the tortoise shell. With a shocking “Garden” sound, it left and broke into two halves.
The middle-aged prime minister’s expression changed drastically. He was obviously shocked. Even his body trembled. He looked at the shattered ancient coins in astonishment and subconsciously said, “Really …”
In the next moment, his expression was gloomy as if he wanted to drip water. He gritted his teeth and flicked his sleeve. He put away the old tortoise shell and the ancient coins on the ground without any hesitation. He turned around and left.
Seeing that he was heading in the direction of the exit of the valley, the middle-aged Prime Minister actually didn’t seem to want to stay in the valley for a while longer.
It was only then that he was able to walk a few feet away. Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath his feet tremble. A strange yet unstoppable force seemed to sweep past this vast mountain range. The entire mountain range seemed to tremble slightly.
The Prime Minister suddenly turned around and stared at the majestic peak and the mysterious caves beneath it. A trace of astonishment flashed through his eyes, and he couldn’t help but whisper, “What exactly is under pressure?”
The ground trembled after the first moment. After a moment of calm, it actually attacked again. At the same time, the frequency seemed to be slowly increasing. The entire valley trembled from time to time, and it seemed as if another great earthquake was about to strike half a year ago.
The Prime Minister snorted coldly. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and prepared to walk. However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a ray of light rise into the sky from the group of 108 stone statues that had been quiet and even silent not far away.
It was a dark red light, surging like a blazing fire, rolling like a flood. The xiangshi was stunned to a halt. However, the moment the dark red light suddenly rose, this stone statue community, which seemed to have never changed since ancient times, suddenly underwent a strange change.
Rumbling sounds rang out once again. The Prime Minister felt his vision blur. After a moment, he focused his attention. He was shocked to see that all the stone statues in this group were trembling slightly and then began to move.
Yes, all the statues began to move, I don’t know what’s driving them, Such a heavy stone statue, One after another, they moved. They staggered and changed positions. At first, they seemed to be in a mess, but after a while, they discovered that the stone statues seemed to have invisible connections. It was as if … it was a game of chess. These stone statues were all chess pieces, and what was changing at this moment was the formation formed by all the chess pieces on the chessboard.
The rumbling sound grew louder and louder. The speed at which the stone statues moved and changed positions became faster and faster. It was almost dazzling. Some of the stone statues moved from the left to the right, some entered the inner layer from the periphery, some exchanged positions with the stone statues beside them, and some three, four, or even seven or eight stone statues changed positions continuously.
All the stone statues were trembling and moving, rolling like thunder, causing everyone to be dumbfounded.
The Prime Minister was clearly shocked by this shocking scene. He stared blankly, After an unknown amount of time, the change in the formation suddenly slowed down. All the stone statues gradually calmed down in their new positions. The Prime Minister’s eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. He thought for a moment, then suddenly inserted the green pole into the ground. Then, he borrowed strength from the green pole. He floated up lightly and landed on the green pole with a tap of his toe.
Condescending, Immediately, his field of vision became much broader. The panoramic view of the stone statue community fell into his eyes. After the sudden change of position, all of the stone statues formed a few circles. All of them were facing the center. At this moment, the deepest part of the original inner circle was suddenly empty, leaving only a single stone statue. That strange dark red light was emitted from this stone statue.
All of the stone statues silently surrounded the only shining stone statue, forming a mysterious and profound formation. An indescribable terrifying force emitted from their bodies, as if it had absorbed the great power of heaven and earth in a short period of time, pressing down from all directions. It was like thunder, lightning, torrential winds, and earth-shattering heaven and earth.
The dark red light instantly suppressed itself. In front of the great power of heaven and earth emitted by this formation, even though the red light was unyielding, it still seemed to be unable to resist it. After struggling with all his might, it finally dissipated.
Above the green pole, the Xiangshi’s face was somewhat pale, but his eyes were still fixated on the middle of the group of stone statues. He looked at the last stone statue that had been attacked by all the stone statues and was tightly surrounded in the center.
It was a Dark Dragon statue.

Within the Bloodthirsty Forest, dense mist filled the air. It continuously floated out from every dark corner of the forest, bringing with it cold killing intent from all directions.
It was as if they were already within reach.
Shen Shi held Little Hei tightly in his arms. The nearest fog was already three feet away, but he had no way to retreat and escape. This thick fog was so mysterious. Although he did not know what would happen, a trace of despair subconsciously flashed through Shen Shi’s heart.
However, at this moment, a mournful roar suddenly came from an unknown place in the distance. It was like an unruly demonic beast shouting wildly at the sky, as if its unwilling soul was provoking the heavens and the earth. However, that voice carried great pain, yet it quickly weakened.
Heaven and earth were heartless, cold and indifferent.
The dense fog instantly came to a halt, and then it suddenly retreated like a tidal wave, as if it had lost its strength to support itself. All of the fog disappeared before Shen Shi’s eyes.
The eerie Bloodthirsty Devil Trees revealed themselves once again, and the straight forest road appeared once again. The scene of the thick fog covering the sky just now was like a daydream, and there were no traces of waking up.
Shen Shi stood there in a daze for a long time and wiped his forehead. However, he discovered that his palms and forehead were covered in cold sweat.
In front of him, he looked up and suddenly discovered that a door had appeared a hundred feet away from the straight road.
A palace gate.
