Killing God - Chapter 232
Chapter 232 Giant Claw
There are many things in the world that correspond to each other, such as the heavens and the earth, such as yin and yang, such as black and white, or the good and evil, good and bad, for which the heart works. Of course, there was no lack of light and darkness around every corner of the world.
When there was light, there was darkness. After the day was night, then the dawn was heavy. It was repeated, and the vicissitudes of life were passed like this every day. So naturally, everyone was accustomed to it. Sometimes, they would even forget about it inadvertently.
The other side of the light was darkness.
Darkness was actually a very peculiar and interesting thing. It was the other side of the light. When darkness appeared, there would definitely be no light. Therefore, to most creatures in the world, darkness meant pitch-black. There was a pair of eyes in the sky, but nothing could be seen.
Because of this, darkness sometimes deceives people’s eyes. No matter how smart a person is, they will always believe that they have seen it with their own eyes. However, as long as darkness blindfolds their eyes, they will have various illusions. For example:
A bottomless abyss.
Beneath the lonely peak, endless white bones fell into darkness by the side of the bone mountain. There was not the slightest bit of light below. It was as dark as ink and unfathomable as an abyss that led to the Nine Nether Palace.
After Shen Shi jumped down, his heart was already filled with a desire to die. All he did was not want himself and the little pig to fall into the miserable situation of being torn apart and devoured alive by countless ghosts. When he jumped out of the hole in the cliff, His body instantly descended like a stone. A great divine ability that could fly without borrowing any external force was something that only a Grand Daoist at the Origin Core Realm could possess. He was a mere nobody who had just broken through to the Origin Condensation Realm. Of course, there was no miracle that could not float in the air at this moment.
Therefore, he plainly and heavily fell into the deep darkness.
The instant before he landed in the darkness, he faintly saw a few figures appear on the lonely peak. However, he landed too fast and too far away to see the faces of those people. In the blink of an eye, darkness appeared in front of him.
Shen Shi felt miserable in his heart. He felt as if his body was falling faster and faster, It was as if the abyss beneath him was indeed a bottomless abyss. It was dark, lonely, and cold. It was as if it was surging from all directions. Suddenly, he felt his back tremble. With a loud “boom”, Chen Shi, who was hugging Little Hei, crashed into a pile of hard but scattered things.
“Hualala …”
A strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Shen Shi felt that his body had suddenly sunk into a strange place like quicksand. In addition, the momentum from falling from the sky was quite strong, and more than half of his body instantly smashed into it. However, before he could react, he felt the messy but hard “sand” around him suddenly tremble, and then collapse like an avalanche.
Countless “sand” poured down from his side in one direction at the same time. In an instant, they gathered into a huge flood in the darkness. Shen Shi felt that he was extremely tiny in this flood. He couldn’t help but be pulled down by this huge force, falling deeper and darker downwards.
He waved his hand desperately in the darkness to keep his balance or to grab something, However, everything around him seemed to be flowing. Nothing could be caught by him. He could only follow the current involuntarily. In the middle, he reached out a few times and grabbed something like a short stick. It was cold and rough, and he didn’t know what it was.
The collapse continued. The strange “quicksand” was still pouring down. Shen Shi was trapped in it for a long time. At a certain moment, he suddenly felt that the “sand” beneath him seemed to have slowed down. Then, it quickly stopped.
After Shen Shi quieted down for a while and confirmed that nothing unusual would happen again, he carefully tried to climb out of the “sand” beneath him.
The surroundings were dark, and he could not even see his fingers. Only when Shen Shi occasionally raised his head would he see a faint dot of light flickering on the extremely high dome. According to what he remembered, it should be the peak of the Lonely Peak. However, at this moment, the originally dazzling pillar of light was only slightly glowing.
Wrapped in the invisible “sand” of the surroundings, they flowed far away, Shen Shi didn’t know where he was at this moment, but judging from the light above his head, it seemed that he was still at the foot of that lonely peak. However, this lonely peak was indeed tall and steep. It was hard to imagine that there would be such a wondrous scene underground, let alone that boundless white sea of bones beneath the lonely peak …
Suddenly, Shen Shi’s body trembled slightly. In an instant, he suddenly understood what the “sand” around his body was.
It was those countless piles of bones that were like mountains and mountains.
A bone-chilling icy aura surged into Shen Shi’s heart, causing his entire body to feel a slight shivering pain. The darkness covered his eyes and he couldn’t see this sea of bones, but the fear it brought seemed to be even more ferocious.
It was at this shocking moment that Shen Shi suddenly trembled. He thought of another important matter that was no less important than this disgusting and terrifying sea of bones. His hands were empty, and there was nothing around him.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a moment of silence. Then, a loud cry pierced through the dead silence in the darkness. A voice desperately shouted,
“Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, where are you?”
④
Perhaps because he was worried in his heart, this anxiety instead diluted his initial fear. Although Shen Shi still had a chill on his body, he still desperately pushed away the surrounding white bones. The deep, strange, scalp-numbing sound of bones colliding rang out beside him, causing it to rumble for a while, and it kept rising and falling.
It was unknown where this sea of bones came from. It actually had so many bone fragments piled up. However, most of the bones were broken and scattered. Therefore, if one threw aside fear and fear, the loose bones would actually be easier to climb out of than the real quicksand. After all, the bones were bigger and harder than quicksand.
Shen Shi quickly climbed out of the pile of bones. Standing on the sea of bones, Although he was worried that Little Hei was a little anxious, However, he couldn’t help but feel glad that he had fallen from such a high place. If it weren’t for the loose bones below, even if it was a flat ground, he would have been crushed to pieces. At this moment, although there were several wounds on his body that were faintly painful, it didn’t seem to be particularly serious.
However, the most important thing right now was that Xiao Hei had disappeared.
Shen Shi looked around blankly on the pile of bones, but he could only feel the darkness in front of him. He could not even see a single shadow in the sea of bones where his fingers could not be seen. Just now, when he landed from midair, he had been hugging Xiao Hei tightly. Xiao Hei did not struggle at all. He nestled in his arms and did not move at all. However, when the collapsed bone sea flowed, Xiao Hei actually disappeared from his side at some unknown time.
Right now, what Shen Shi was most worried about was that Little Hei had been buried beneath the pile of bones in the collapse of the Bone Sea just now. This endless darkness and endless sea of bones, if this really was the most dangerous situation, let alone saving it, it would be extremely difficult for Shen Shi to even find Little Hei. There was nothing he could do about it.
However, at this moment, everything was pitch-black in front of him. Shen Shi could only call out Little Hei’s name one after another. Although he knew that shouting so loudly in the Bone Sea of Darkness was extremely unwise, and no one knew what terrifying dangers seemed to be hidden in this darkness, Shen Shi could no longer care about that much at this moment.
“Little Hei.”
“Little Hei.”
“Little Hei …”
Shouts rang out from afar in the darkness, breaking the silence here. However, Shen Shi had waited for a long time, but he had not responded.
Apart from the darkness, it was a deathly silence.
The surroundings seemed to be getting colder and colder. Darkness surrounded him from all directions. Shen Shi even had a slight illusion that something strange was quietly staring at him in the darkness beside him. There was even a faint weight and pressure in the darkness that made it difficult for him to breathe.
If this continued, there would be no need for any monsters to appear. He was afraid that he would go crazy in this lonely darkness.
Shen Shi gasped slightly and gritted his teeth, forcing himself to calm down in this lonely and cold atmosphere. After taking a deep breath, he decided that he could not just wait on the spot like this.
Thus, like a blind person, he waved his arm in the darkness in front of him a few times, and when he was sure that there was nothing left, he took a step forward. In this pitch-black darkness, he slowly groped his way forward. At the same time, he would call Little Hei every once in a while.
It was obvious that the endless skeletons could not be flat and tidy ground. Moreover, in the darkness where his fingers could not be seen, Shen Shi felt his way forward. However, it was extremely difficult for him to walk. Occasionally, his feet would slip and his body would tilt. Occasionally, he would even step on the ground and directly fall onto the pile of bones.
However, walking like this made him gradually become accustomed to his surroundings, including the sea of bones beneath his feet. He wasn’t as disgusted and fearful as before. In order to walk better, he even casually took a bone that he didn’t know what it was and used it as a walking stick to stumble along the pile of bones with some difficulty.
However, this darkness was like a deep ocean, endless, unable to see through the darkness in front of him, so he could not see the end of the road. He shouted many times, but did not receive an echo.
Shen Shi gradually became somewhat desperate. However, he was still unwilling to give up in his heart. At the same time, as he walked, he gradually felt that the pile of bones beneath his feet seemed to be constantly descending. As he walked lower and lower, the surroundings seemed to be completely silent. There really wasn’t anything else.
There were clearly so many scalp-numbing ghosts in the countless caves above the cliff, but under this sea of bones in the darkness, the Yin Qi was as dense as the Underworld Underworld. For some unknown reason, Shen Shi had walked so far, yet he had not even encountered a single ghost.
“Little Hei …”
Because his voice had shouted too many times, he had unknowingly become somewhat tired and hoarse. Even his shouting voice was somewhat powerless. Perhaps even he himself was beginning to lose hope. However, just as he was about to move forward, his body suddenly stiffened and he stopped where he was.
At that moment, he didn’t seem to dare to move at all, and even subconsciously held his breath.
In the darkness, in the deathly silence, the seemingly distant and spacious distance ahead was completely silent, as if there was nothing. However, after Shen Shi held his breath for a moment, a deep and subtle groan suddenly sounded from somewhere in the depths of the darkness.
“Boom, boom …”
Shen Shi stood there in a daze for a moment. Suddenly, an unprecedented wave of ecstasy surged into his heart. It was a strange warmth that seemed to immediately disperse the cold and loneliness in the surroundings, causing him to burst out laughing loudly. Then, he strode forward and ran towards the place where the voice came from.
“I’m here, Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, I’m here!”
The bones clattered under his feet, Sounds creepy, But at this moment, Shen Shi didn’t feel the slightest bit. Running towards the place where the sound came from, he soon heard that the sound gradually grew louder and clearer. As he struggled to run, he suddenly felt a change under his feet, but it was no longer difficult to walk. The place where he walked seemed to be flat, as if he had unknowingly run off the pile of bones.
Although the surroundings were still dark, Shen Shi’s spirits were greatly boosted. He quickly walked forward and felt his way. Little Hei’s voice was not far ahead, getting closer and closer.
Then, after walking a distance, Shen Shi’s eyes suddenly lit up.
A faint light flashed in his eyes.
Yes, in this endless darkness, there was a faint light, a faint and slightly green light.
One point, another point, then another point, specks of ghostly light, like mysterious stars in the dark night sky, lit up bit by bit in front of Shen Shi’s eyes.
The dots of light scattered in the darkness like phosphorescence. They rose from the ground and illuminated a few places nearby. They could vaguely see a shadow squatting on the ground. Looking back, it was Little Hei.
Shen Shi didn’t have time to think about what these strange dots of light were. Seeing Xiao Hei’s joy filled his heart, Xiao Hei also jumped up excitedly when he saw him.
Shen Shi took three steps and rushed over. The little pig also rushed towards him and jumped into the air. Shen Shi hugged the little pig in his arms and ruthlessly touched its head. Then, he laughed out loud.
The laughter wasn’t loud, but it was warm.
“Stupid pig, you really know how to run.” He hugged Little Hei and let out a long sigh before cursing softly.
Little Hei tilted his neck and let out a groan. Then, he turned his head to look behind him. Shen Shi smiled and said, “What did you discover? Anyway, this place is full of bones. What else can there be …”
His voice suddenly lowered, as if it had been forcefully suppressed by something. In the darkness, in the dim light, Shen Shi’s mouth slowly opened wide.
Under the specks of dim light and phosphorescence, tiny and faint rays of light, like faint rays of light from distant stars, converged and gradually illuminated something in the darkness in front of them.
It seemed to be a claw.
Three-toed branching, covered in scales, looked very similar to the legendary dragon claw, except … it was astonishingly large.
It was a huge claw. It looked like a small mountain. Just the tip of the sword in front of the claw was several times taller than Shen Shi, and the entire claw was at least several hundred feet tall. Behind that claw, there was also endless darkness, covering everything.
If a claw was already so large, then what kind of creature would possess such a claw? And how terrifying would its body be?
Looking at the mountain-like claw and the endless darkness behind it, Shen Shi felt a chill surge into his heart.
