Killing God - Chapter 235
Chapter 235 Skeleton
The two balls of ghost fire were faintly lit. Within the strange light screen on the stone wall, Hou Sheng’s change was actually so clear. Shen Shi even felt as if he was standing beside him and witnessing all of this with his own eyes.
In front of Hou Sheng, At this moment, he was still immersed in obvious ecstasy. Although Shen Shi did not know what they were up to, he could guess that this huge egg was probably the final goal of the Hou Clan’s expedition. He looked at their expressions and stared fixedly at the mysterious egg that was rising and falling in the pillar of light.
Within the light screen, under the illumination of that beam of light, The four people on Lonely Peak, including Hou Sheng, who was standing at the end, did not look neat. There were many places where they were in a sorry state. It should not be easy for them to get here. Adding on the large group of people when they left, only the four of them were left. Although the others did not see them, it was likely that they would be doomed in such a fierce place.
Within the pillar of light, the crack that had been opened was constantly twisting, Slowly getting bigger, At this moment, Shen Shi could clearly see a strange crystal-like stone floating in the void. About the length of his palm, It was pure black, It was deep and translucent, but within the bright radiance of the surroundings, it constantly emitted bursts of strange black light. It was incompatible with the light that descended from the sky. It was also this strange black crystal that seemed to emit some strange power. It forcefully opened the cracks in the light and gradually revealed the giant scarlet egg inside.
Seeing that the giant egg was gradually revealed, the ecstasy on the faces of the Hou couple and Hou Yuanliang grew even more intense. They took two steps forward together and did not notice the strange look on Hou Sheng’s face.
After a while, the giant egg was about to reveal itself, and the Hou couple could touch it with their hands.
Suddenly, a deep sigh sounded out in the originally dark cave. Shen Shi was shocked. He turned around and found that the sigh came from the old man who had been silent from the beginning. He looked as if he was getting older, the wrinkles on his face were deeper, and even his gaze was dimmer.
However, Shen Shi suddenly noticed that the old man’s gaze had suddenly moved away from the light screen and slowly sunk a little. Shen Shi followed his gaze and was suddenly stunned. He discovered that there seemed to be something white next to the stone wall beneath the light screen.
He couldn’t help but take a few steps forward. He opened his eyes wide and looked at it. Then, he discovered that it was actually a skeleton sitting on the ground with its back against a stone wall. It sat silently in the darkness. The cave was already dark, so Shen Shi had not noticed it earlier.
After experiencing the endless bones in the sea of bones, Seeing such a mere skeleton, Even in the darkness it does look a little gloomy, However, Shen Shi still didn’t feel any special fear. On the contrary, he was somewhat surprised. When he entered this huge cave, he had carefully observed his surroundings. Apart from the remains of the Yin Dragon, there were no foreign objects. Even though the skeletons outside the cave were endless like mountains and seas, there was no trace of them in the cave.
Therefore, the skeleton that suddenly appeared was exceptionally abrupt and dazzling. Shen Shi couldn’t help but take a closer look. Judging from the size of the skeleton, this skeleton clearly looked like a human, and its size wasn’t big. It seemed to be smaller than Shen Shi’s, and it even gave off a slim feeling.
However, after a few glances, After all, it was still a dead thing. Although it looked strange in this cave, the scene on the screen was clearly the key. Shen Shi quickly turned his gaze back and saw that the gap in the pillar of light had finally opened to the point where it could allow one person to step into it. Hou Yongchang and Sun Qin, who were standing at the front, walked forward at almost the same time.
The sigh in his ear seemed to be echoing. Shen Shi did not quite understand the attitude of the old man who sat with his back against the Yin Dragon as he watched this scene. Because from beginning to end, apart from the sigh, the old man had been silently watching, except for occasionally looking at the silent skeleton beneath the light screen.
Seeing that the figure on Lonely Peak was about to step into the pillar of light, the old man’s body suddenly moved. Under Shen Shi’s gaze, his right hand slowly rose again.
Shen Shi didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt a little nervous.
Suddenly, the pillar of light on Lonely Peak suddenly shone brightly. A bright and gentle light fell from the unknown part of the dome like a waterfall. In an instant, the light shone brightly, immediately suppressing half of the black light that opened the gap.
Hou Yongchang and Sun Qin paled in shock. Hurriedly stopping, He almost touched the light that was falling down, His face instantly turned pale with shock. However, it was clear that the black crystal in the air was not an extraordinary object. Although it was instantly suppressed and trembled, it quickly calmed down. The black light twinkled around it. A moment later, it forcefully resisted the pressure that was like thunder. In midair, the gap opened by the black light and the bright light scattered out froze.
Then, Shen Shi suddenly discovered that the two ghost flames in Hou Sheng’s eyes had suddenly extinguished and disappeared.

Beneath the lonely peak, in the dark cave, the old man did not seem to have changed at all. He was still very old and withered. Little Hei was still lying motionless beside him, looking a little strange. Shen Shi was the only one standing three meters away. He looked at the light screen for a moment, then at the old man. He seemed to have comprehended something, but his brows furrowed, as if there were still some things he couldn’t understand.
It was at this moment that Shen Shi suddenly heard an unbelievable voice amidst the darkness and silence.
“Pa pa, pa pa …”
A crisp sound suddenly echoed in this cave. It sounded like … a knock on the door.
However, Shen Shi clearly remembered that along the way, this dark cave was incomparably large, but where would there be any doors? However, the strange knock on the door reverberated so clearly in the cave, A moment later, when the knock on the door paused, a gentle, pleasant and gentle female voice smiled like a silver bell. Then, from the entrance of the cave, in the deep darkness, came her voice,
“Open the door, open the door. Old Dragon, stop sleeping. The guests are coming.”
Shen Shi abruptly turned around and looked around. However, at the entrance of the cave, there was no light in the darkness, but there was no shadow at all. He turned around and subconsciously looked at the mysterious old man again. The sudden appearance of the woman’s voice and her words echoed in his ears.
The old dragon opened the door? Where’s the door? Who was the old dragon?
However, the haggard expression on the old man’s face didn’t seem to change at all, nor did his body show any intention of moving. Even his right hand, which had waved a moment ago, unknowingly fell to the ground beside him again.
After that, there seemed to be a moment of silence in the cave.
A moment later, the mysterious female voice outside the cave seemed to chuckle and said, “Alright, since you don’t open the door, I’ll go in myself.”
Shen Shi was shocked. He hurriedly looked at the entrance of the cave. After waiting for a while, the darkness was still deep and silent. There was no sign of a human figure appearing. Just as he was feeling surprised, he suddenly heard a strange rumbling sound coming from the cave behind him.
Shen Shi’s heart suddenly sank. He turned around and looked. At the same time, his pupils contracted slightly. Under the light screen on the stone wall, the only skeleton sitting quietly with its back against the stone wall suddenly began to move.
Two dark green ghost fires lit up from its black eyes. Afterwards, the skeleton slowly stood up, as if it had suddenly gained life. It even shook its neck after standing up. It seemed to have lowered its head for too long, and its neck felt a little sore.
Then, it raised its head to look at the old man with the dragon’s body on its back. Its white mandible stretched out for a moment and it walked towards him.
From beginning to end, the skeleton didn’t even look at Shen Shi.
Ka ka sound slowly rang out. It was a strange sound coming from the skeletal joints of the skeleton. It sounded a little creepy. However, the old man’s expression did not change at all as he watched this ghost slowly walk in front of him. His gaze was still as indifferent as before.
Not long after, the skeleton walked in front of the old man and looked down at him. The shadow covered the old man’s head and face. After pausing for a moment, the ghost flames in the two balls of eyes flashed for a moment, and its gaze landed on Little Hei, who was lying beside the old man.
For some reason, Little Black Pig, who didn’t seem to be afraid of the countless ferocious ghosts that Shen Shi had encountered in the Ancient Dragon Suppressing Palace, suddenly seemed to be scared to death. His entire body trembled violently, and he curled up desperately, as if he wished he could dive into the ground completely.
Suddenly, a withered and aged hand appeared from mid-air and landed on its head. With a gentle touch, Little Hei’s body froze for a moment, and as if he had received some comfort, he quickly calmed down.
Although the skeleton wasn’t big, its aura wasn’t that terrifying and ferocious. After staring at Little Hei for only a short moment, it didn’t know why it frightened Little Hei to death. However, it didn’t seem to care much about the Little Hei pig either. Instead, it raised its head and its jaw slightly moved. The gentle female voice that had appeared not long ago came out of its mouth again,
“It’s interesting that such an inferior demonic beast actually has a trace of your bloodline.”
The voice was still gentle and pleasant to the ear, but it came from the mouth of the eerie and terrifying white skeleton, and it was exceptionally frightening.
The old man looked at the skeleton with a dim gaze. After a while, a voice that was similarly old and slightly distant came from his mouth. He slowly said,
“What do you want?”
The skeleton, or “female” skeleton, waved its white bone arm. It seemed to be helpless, but it also seemed to be somewhat complacent. “Come and play chess,” it said with a “smile.” After pausing for a moment, he continued, “You’ve been fighting me for millions of years in a game of chess. Now that you’ve finished your last few moves, how can you not finish it?”
