Killing God - Chapter 234
Chapter 234 Light Screen
In the darkness, Shen Shi suddenly saw this ghostly giant exotic beast. Even though Shen Shi had always been firm in his mind and body, he couldn’t help but let out a buzz in his mind. His entire body was cold as he looked at the giant head in the flames. It was as if it would open its bloody mouth and swallow him and the little pig in the next moment.
However, the darkness was still calm, and the flames still flickered slightly. However, the giant human-faced dragon horned beast’s head did not react at all. It stood motionlessly in the darkness like a statue.
Shen Shi felt that his palms were a little cold. It was cold sweat that oozed out. He gently wiped the clothes on his side, but his gaze did not leave this exotic beast at all. After watching for a while, he gradually seemed to see some clues. Like the giant claw he had seen before, this gigantic head seemed to have existed for a long time. There were traces of decay everywhere. There was not even the slightest bit of life in it, as if it had already died for a long time.
He stared at the giant beast for a while before finally confirming that although its aura was incomparable and compared to his, it was like an ant, at least from the looks of it, it seemed that the giant beast had indeed died. This discovery caused Shen Shi to breathe a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. The enormous nervousness in his heart finally relaxed a little. Then, his heart suddenly stirred as if he had thought of something. He raised his head and looked at the giant beast head carefully,
“… So, is there really an ancient dragon like the Dark Dragon in this world?”
Shen Shi muttered. The giant beast head in front of him was almost identical to the Yin Dragon statue in the valley. Of course, other than its eyes, there was a strange phenomenon in the Yin Dragon’s eyes. However, the giant dragon’s eyes were empty. It looked like its eyes had been dug out by someone.
But who could it be that possessed such a terrifying and powerful divine ability? Not only was it able to subdue an ancient dragon like the Dark Dragon, it had also removed its eyes?
Shen Shi’s gaze swept across the Yin Dragon’s eyes. He felt that the two black holes were truly frightening. He subconsciously swallowed his saliva and turned his head.
At this moment, he suddenly saw that not far away from him, Little Black’s actions seemed a little strange. After walking to this huge cave and seeing this Primordial Yin Dragon, Xiao Hei unknowingly gradually leaned over. He did not seem to have much fear in his eyes. Instead, he revealed a somewhat strange look of longing. At this moment, he was standing under the giant head. He seemed to have hesitated for a moment before gently rubbing his head against the Yin Dragon’s skin.
The darkness was completely silent.
Shen Shi suddenly felt that the surroundings seemed to be quieter than when he had just entered. Although there was no sound, this feeling in his heart was especially clear. Everything seemed to have suddenly calmed down. He could even hear his heartbeat at this moment.
A ray of light suddenly lit up.
A gentle, bright, and dazzling glow.
The place where the light lit up was on the back of the gigantic head. Shen Shi and Little Hei saw the light almost at the same time. They looked at each other for a moment, and then walked towards the same direction.
The giant beast’s head was enormous. Just circling around it would take a long way. As he walked, when Shen Shi finally circled around the head and walked to the back, his body suddenly stiffened. Wherever his gaze touched, he discovered something shocking.
Not long ago, when he first saw the giant claw and the giant exotic beast head, he had an unconscious thought in his heart. One claw and one head were so huge. If it was really the Primordial Yin Dragon, then how terrifying and unimaginable would the body of such a giant dragon be?
Therefore, when he walked past the head and arrived at the back of the exotic beast, he was already prepared to be even more shocked. However, he never expected that what he saw would actually be such a scene.
The light of the fireball in his hand, As well as the beam of light that suddenly lit up in front of him, he saw something behind the giant beast. In his imagination, it must be an incomparably large dragon body, even if it was as tall as a mountain range, he might still be able to reluctantly accept it. However, at this moment, what he saw was a hole that was almost empty.
Behind the giant head, in the darkness, there was a place that was almost completely empty. There was no dragon’s body, no magnificence as imagined. There was only a small part of the body that was wrapped around the back of the giant beast’s head, and one could vaguely see that there was only one front claw left. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
In the darkness, a desolate and cold aura seemed to transform into a gloomy wind that quietly swept past.
④
A primordial Yin dragon with only its head and claws left?
After a long time, Shen Shi let out a long breath. The shock in his heart still hadn’t dissipated. However, although the Yin Dragon’s body was still huge, it looked a little sad now. He didn’t know what had happened to this giant dragon in the endless past. It actually caused its body to separate from its head.
Perhaps, at the moment when the head was separated, this Yin Dragon had already died, right?
Shen Shi stood there for a moment. Suddenly, he discovered that Little Hei did not stop like him. He continued to walk forward. He was already some distance away from him, and gradually approached the spot where the ball of light lit up in front of him.
Shen Shi was shocked. He hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed forward. Just as he was about to call Little Hei, he suddenly frowned and looked at the ball of light with astonishment in his eyes.
That ray of light lit up on the back of the Yin Dragon’s head. It lit up from a stone wall not too far from its head. It was warm and bright, flickering non-stop. Gradually, it formed a strange ball of light that rippled like water. It trembled slightly and twisted non-stop on the stone wall. Under the stone wall, where the light shone, one could see the flesh and remains behind the giant dragon’s head. It was precisely under this remains that a human silhouette shockingly appeared.
Yes, a figure appeared there. A person sat quietly on the ground, leaning against the remnant body of the Yin Dragon. He raised his head slightly and stared at the ball of light on the stone wall.
Shen Shi subconsciously stopped. Then, he quickly discovered that Little Hei still had no intention of stopping. On the contrary, it was very strange. He had been slowly walking forward like this, walking towards the figure.
Under the afterglow of the light, That person’s face gradually became clearer to Shen Shi. It was an old man. From the looks of it, he was very old. Even Shen Shi couldn’t judge his age. His wrinkled face was covered in gray and black markings. His skin was extremely dry, and he couldn’t even see the basic color of blood. It was as if in a short while, his face would completely turn into a dead face.
However, this person was a living person.
It was because he had a pair of eyes. Although they were also cloudy, old and lusterless, he did open his eyes and quietly sat on the ground with his back against the remnants of the dragon. Then, he stared at the ball of light on the stone wall.
Little Hei slowly walked over. The closer it got to the old man, the slower it looked. Its hesitation became more and more obvious. There was even a faint hint of fear, and it didn’t know what it was afraid of. However, the strange thing was that the old man seemed to have an inexplicable attraction that made it almost impossible for Little Hei to control himself. After a few hesitations, he was still slowly approaching carefully.
Its nose was constantly sniffing, and its two piglets’ ears were also erect to the highest point. They walked very carefully each step, and finally slowly walked to the old man’s side.
A few feet away, Shen Shi half opened his mouth, only to discover that he could not call out anything, and his heart was similarly extremely nervous.
Perhaps the little black pig’s arrival alarmed the old man. His body slightly moved, and then he turned his head. Two gazes landed on Xiao Hei’s body.
Those were two calm, empty, and indifferent gazes.
Little Hei suddenly let out a low cry of sorrow. His erected ears instantly drooped down. His two forefeet suddenly bent, but he crawled in front of the old man. Shen Shi was shocked. He almost thought that something unexpected had happened. Just as he was about to act recklessly, he discovered that Little Hei did not seem to have suffered any injuries. Not only that, but after crawling on the ground, it paused for a moment before slowly raising its head and carefully leaning over.
Then, he used his little pig head to gently rub against the old man’s thigh on the ground. At the same time, he let out another low groan.
The old man looked at the little black pig indifferently. He looked at the little black pig respectfully admiring him, but he revealed a strange intimacy. After a while, a slight change finally occurred in his turbid gaze. The indifference in his expression faded slightly, and a strange light quietly flashed past.
“Ka ka, ka ka ka …”
A low and strange sound came from the front. Shen Shi was shocked. Then, he discovered that this voice was actually coming from the old man’s body. Because the old man’s right arm was slowly being raised, and the strange cracking sound was coming from every joint of his arm. It was as if the iron armor of the door frame, which had long been rusted and stiff, was finally shaking again after countless years of dust.
The withered and aged palm slowly descended from above. Little Hei seemed to be a little scared, and his body shrunk slightly. However, in the end, he still crawled on the spot, allowing the palm to land on his head.
Then, the indifference in the old man’s eyes faded a little. Under the strange cracking sound, his palm actually gently stroked the Little Hei pig’s head a few times.
Then, the wrinkles on that extremely old face slowly wrinkled up, but he raised his eyes to look at Shen Shi.
Shen Shi exchanged glances with the old man. Suddenly, he felt as if his heart had been struck by a heavy hammer. His heart suddenly contracted. In an instant, his throat became sweet and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the remaining Spiritual Energy in his body seemed to be emptied. His Qi Sea was empty and the fireball in his palm was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
Shen Shi’s legs softened and he almost fell to the ground. It was at this moment that Little Hei, who was crawling beside the old man, suddenly let out a low snort.
The old man’s gaze slowly fell. He glanced at Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei’s body trembled and he buried his head tightly on the ground, not daring to move a single bit.
After a moment of silence, the old man finally withdrew his gaze and looked at the ball of light on the stone wall again.
In the distance, Shen Shi struggled to get up. He couldn’t help but feel horrified at the mysterious old man in his heart. However, a moment later, his gaze was suddenly attracted by the light on the stone wall.
Above the stone wall, the irregular ball of light that was swaying like a water wave became smoother and smoother after being constantly swayed and twisted. On this surface of light, faint figures and scenes could be seen.
Shen Shi didn’t dare to approach the mysterious old man. He could only stare at the ball of light from afar, and the figure reflected in the light quickly became clear. Not long after, Shen Shi saw the person inside clearly and was instantly shocked.
The scene reflected in the ball of light was exactly the same as the scene he had seen on the lonely peak in the cliff cave. At the same time, the scenery was even bigger and clearer, as if he had personally witnessed it on the lonely peak. At this moment, by the altar on the lonely peak, under the pillar of light that descended from the sky, stood four people. Under the brilliance of the light, their faces could be clearly seen. They were all characters that Shen Shi knew.
It was the Hou family couple and their son, Hou Yuanliang. There was also a slightly plump man standing slightly behind them. Shen Shi had a familiar and impressive appearance, but it was Hou Sheng.
At this moment, A few shattered magical artifacts were scattered on the ground around the altar. For some reason, the pillar of light in front of the altar was actually supported by an invisible force, revealing something that was originally undulating in the light beam. From afar, it looked like a giant scarlet egg that was as tall as a person. A strange red light lingered around the egg, as if the egg was sparkling.
Within the light screen, one could see the faces of Hou Yongchang, Sun Qin, and their sons, Hou Yuanliang, were filled with ecstasy and excitement. They stared fixedly at the giant egg in the pillar of light, as if it was the most precious and rare treasure in the world in front of them.
However, after these three people, Shen Shi suddenly saw another person who was completely opposite to the three excited Hou Clan members. The little fatty from back then, and now Hou Sheng, did not have the slightest bit of excitement on his face. He stood at the end, expressionlessly looking at the three people in front of him.
Then, in the light screen, under Shen Shi’s suddenly widened gaze, two faint ghost flames slowly ignited in the pair of expressionless eyes on Hou Sheng’s calm face.
