Killing God - Chapter 233
Chapter 233 Yin Dragon
Under the darkness of the abyss, there was actually such a huge claw on the endless sea of bones. It truly made one’s hair stand on end. Looking at the huge claw that stood in front of him like a small mountain, it was hard for Shen Shi to imagine what kind of terrifying creature the owner of this claw would be.
Little Hei moved in his arms. Shen Shi glanced at it, released his arm, and Little Hei jumped onto the ground. Before Shen Shi found it, The Little Hei pig seemed to be close to the claw. Although he didn’t know how it got here, he could clearly see that Little Hei was also a little afraid of the claw. However, other than that, it seemed to have a different appearance from usual. Although it was a little afraid, it still kept staring at the giant claw.
It was just that he had almost died from the countless ghosts surrounding him, and then he had fallen into this dark and gloomy abyss of the Bone Sea. No one could possibly maintain the mentality of a peaceful day.
Shen Shi did not pay much attention to Little Hei’s appearance. After calming down a bit, he gradually discovered that there was something unusual about this giant claw outside of its enormous body by borrowing the faint phosphorescence here.
The most obvious thing was that this giant claw seemed to be very, very old. The claws were divided into three toes and had scales on them. However, under the dim light, one could vaguely see that the scales on the giant claws had peeled off, revealing grayish-brown skin and flesh that looked very dry. There was almost no luster on them, as if they had reached the point where the oil was running out of light.
The hardest and most terrifying of the three fingernails of the giant claw was no longer intact. One of the fingernails on the left had even completely fallen off, leaving only a bare piece of skin and flesh. The fingernail on the right was still there, but only half of it was left. There were several obvious cracks on it. By contrast, Of the three toes on the giant claw, Only the middle toe of the swordsmanship nail appeared to be relatively intact. It was four to five people tall and had a wide upper and lower tip. It followed the giant claw steadily onto the ground. The sharpest part of the fingernail directly stabbed into the ground, as if the incomparably hard rock surface was just incomparably fragile tofu to this claw.
Shen Shi stood there for a long time, staring at the giant claw. However, the claw in the darkness remained motionless, as if it had merged with the darkness.
Perhaps, the owner of this giant claw, some unknown beast in the depths of the darkness that must be terrifying to this day, had already died?
Shen Shi couldn’t help but think like this in his heart, or rather, he was filled with anticipation. However, it was impossible for him to always stand like this. He gritted his teeth and greeted Little Hei softly. Then, he boldly walked towards the giant claw slowly.
The mountain-tall shadow was right in front of him. The closer he approached, the clearer Shen Shi felt the enormity of this giant claw and the silent pressure. In front of this unknown and terrifying creature, he couldn’t help but feel like an ant. However, perhaps this giant beast had truly died. As Shen Shi walked in, even if he slowly walked to the side of the giant claw, this giant claw did not have any abnormal reaction.
Finally, Shen Shi stood beside the giant claw. Looking at the grayish-brown dried skin and flesh in front of him, he paused for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he extended his hand and gently groped around the edge of the giant claw.
At the tentacle, a rough feeling came back from his palm and fingers. Shen Shi looked to the side in the blink of an eye and found that there was still a piece of scales covering his skin and flesh not far away. He walked over and gently touched it.
Just a single scale, It looked like Shen Shi was the size of a person. After touching it with his palm, Shen Shi could clearly feel that this place seemed to be much smoother, but at the same time, that sense of hardness also followed. Shen Shi’s heart tightened. He thought to himself, if this giant beast was at its peak, its entire body would be covered in such indestructible scales, coupled with its unparalleled power, what would be its enemy in this world?
Shen Shi carefully recalled the beast miscellaneous notes he had read in the past in his mind. In the end, he discovered that no known ferocious demonic beast was comparable to the giant beast he saw at this moment, and those with such qualifications seemed to be all those divine beasts from the legendary Primeval Era or even the era when the Pangu Giant God had created heaven and earth.
In those legends, dragons were also an important branch of divine beasts.
“Is it a dragon?” Shen Shi’s heart trembled as he muttered to himself in a low voice. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the Yin Dragon statue he had seen twice on his way here.
At this moment, Little Hei, who was not far from him, suddenly snorted. Shen Shi turned his head to look at it. He saw Little Hei begin to walk towards the back of the giant claw. Shen Shi frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then glanced at the terrifying but silent giant claw. Finally, he followed behind him and slowly walked into the deeper darkness with Little Hei.
Shortly after he walked over, At the edge of the sea of bones not too far away from this giant claw, Suddenly, a strange light shone. From the darkness, it looked like a ball of ghost fire. Following that, similar ghost fires suddenly lit up from nowhere, either under the sea of bones, at the edge of the pile of bones, or even directly in the depths of the pile of bones.
In all directions, countless ghosts and flames appeared without the slightest warning in the previous silence. They slowly gathered in the darkness and surrounded him with covetous gazes.
However, at this strange moment, when the countless ghost flames were silently approaching, as if they were extremely fierce, the silent giant claw suddenly seemed to move slightly.
In just a tiny moment, it was the middle toe of the giant claw that was still intact. It raised slightly, revealing its fingernails that had stabbed into the ground and lifted them out of the ground.
In an instant, there was a sudden explosion in the darkness. Countless ghost fires suddenly stiffened at that moment. In a moment, all of the ghost fires had actually turned around and fled. They even ran with a bit of madness. They desperately turned around and ran. The light was constantly extinguishing bit by bit, as if they were desperately trying to hide their traces.
In just a short moment, the countless ghosts and flames that were originally threatening disappeared like ants fleeing in a hurry. Only endless darkness and seemingly eternal deathly silence remained.
The giant claw regained its calm, and its middle toe fell silently. The ground was like tofu, and its fingernails were stabbed into it. After that, there was no movement at all.

Perhaps it was because the huge body of the giant claw blocked the faint glow of the phosphorescence flame. When he reached the place behind the giant claw, Shen Shi felt that his vision was darker than before. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped Little Hei. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his right hand and a Spiritual Energy slowly passed through his Qi Meridian from the nearly dried up Qi Sea. A moment later, a ball of fire lit up from his palm.
When he fell from the precipice, he had almost exhausted his spiritual energy because he had continuously used the Fire Barrier Technique to stop the ghost in the passageway of the Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace, so he had no choice but to grope his way forward. However, after this period of time, although there was no special meditation reply, the spiritual energy in his body had recovered a little bit, barely enough to release a fireball spell. If it was only maintained in the palm of his hand and not released, the duration would still be a little longer.
The fire lit up. He immediately forced back the darkness around him. This was the first time he had seen the scene beneath the Dark Abyss. It was actually similar to what he had expected. On one side of his body was the giant claw. The hard rock ground beneath his feet, and not far away was the skeleton made up of countless densely white bones. It made one’s hair stand on end.
However, Shen Shi had been scrambling in this sea of bones for a long time. This fear was much weaker. Shen Shi glanced at the sea of bones, then he withdrew his gaze and looked ahead.
The giant claw was right beside him. Behind him were the limbs that connected the giant claw. They were similarly enormous. However, under the illumination of the fire, Shen Shi could only see a small portion of the “mountain peak”. Then, he discovered that he had unknowingly arrived at the bottom of a precipice.
In front of his eyes, an incomparably large hole appeared. Shen Shi could not see where the hole was, and the giant claws and limbs were protruding from the hole.
The corner of Shen Shi’s eyes twitched slightly, and he subconsciously took a step back, wondering if this cave could be the nest of such a giant beast?
For a moment, he even had the intention to turn around and leave. Facing this terrifying creature that was almost impossible for human beings to resist, it was really difficult for people to have the courage to stand in front of it. However, Shen Shi quickly managed to control himself. After all, under this dark and deathly silent abyss, he had almost no way out.
Little Hei, who was standing in front of him, whispered twice before taking another step forward and walking towards the giant cave.
Shen Shi silently stared at Little Hei before slowly following behind.
The cave was extremely large. It was so large that Shen Shi almost felt that it was not a cave at all. There was no wind around it, but for some reason, Shen Shi still felt a chill run down his spine.
The footsteps quietly echoed in the darkness. The flame in his palm lit up a few places, forming a bright but faint ball of light that slowly moved forward in the boundless darkness.
After walking about thirty to forty zhang inwards, Shen Shi felt as if his heartbeat was beginning to beat faster and faster. The flames suddenly jumped, and a strange shadow seemed to shake in front of him.
Then, he saw a mouth.
An enormous, fanged mouth.
Shen Shi was shocked. He took a step back. The flame trembled and raised a bit. Although the light was weaker, the illumination became much bigger. It was precisely as the flames swept past that he saw a person in the darkness in front of Shen Shi. To be exact, it was a human face.
He had all five facial features. He looked like an old man with wrinkles all over his face. He was incomparably old. However, his face was actually so huge that it looked twice as tall as the giant claw outside the cave. The only difference was that his face did not seem to be alive at all. His skin and flesh were dried up, and two enormous horns that resembled dragon horns strangely grew on his forehead.
In the end, Shen Shi’s gaze landed on the eyes on this person’s face.
There were two black holes, empty.
