Killing God - Chapter 240

Chapter 240 Hidden Dragon Mark
Far away from the Ghost Sea, Shen Shi climbed up the steps and stepped on the Light Staircase. Holding the True Dragon Blood in his arms, he walked step by step towards the peak of Lonely Peak.

The residual green light in front of him descended from the sky dome. It was like ten thousand pillars of light that covered the sky and covered the sun. Everything in front of him was dyed a strange jade green. Only on the altar at the peak of Lonely Peak, there was still a wisp of white light remaining.

The light staircase beneath his feet was unexpectedly sturdy. There was no shaking or instability on his feet. However, this strange light staircase was transparent. After walking to a high place, one would occasionally look down and feel dizzy. It was as if in the next moment, he would fall from the sky and fall to pieces.

The shrill howls of ghosts continued to echo in every corner of the Soul Suppressing Abyss. Shen Shi suddenly had a strange illusion in his heart. It was as if he was the only living person left in the entire world, and everything around him was the world of ghosts.

The Dead Spirit swept across the earth, causing the heavens and earth to collapse. The Primordial Chaos Continent split open into boundless cracks, reaching the bottom of the Nine Nether Underworld’s Yellow Springs.

Apart from being ice-cold, it was still ice-cold. It was as if there was no longer a trace of life in this world. All that was left was the violent howls and slaughter of ghost souls.

He even felt his heart freeze, A sense of despair surged into his heart. Living without love, perhaps, it would be better to die … Suddenly, a warm and mellow warmth surged into his chest, instantly dispelling the inexplicable chill. Shen Shi’s body trembled and he woke up from his shock, only to discover that he had already floated a foot outside the light staircase. He was only half a step away from falling down.

This shock was truly extraordinary. Shen Shi’s body couldn’t help but shake. He hurriedly retracted his footsteps and staggered. He knelt on the edge of the light staircase with both his hands and feet, barely maintaining his balance.

He was panting heavily, his soul still in shock. He didn’t know why he had suddenly fallen into such a terrifying illusion just now. Moreover, this strange illusion had come silently without any warning. It was truly creepy. After pausing for a while, he subconsciously lowered his head and looked into his embrace. The drop of dragon blood was still lying calmly between his arms. The warmth from the drop of blood was precisely the familiar smell.

Evidently, it was this drop of dragon blood that saved his life just now. It seemed to have condensed the essence of the ancient dragon’s dragon blood. It was indeed effective against the ghosts here. No wonder the Yin Dragon was able to subdue this witch-ghost back then.

Shen Shi calmed down. After his mood calmed down a little, he silently gritted his teeth and looked up at the peak of the Lonely Peak. Then, he continued to walk forward.

The dragon’s blood continued to shine with red light. Waves of warmth came from the blood droplets. Between the huge abyss and the towering lonely peak, the tiny figure walked step by step, looking so lonely.

“Shaman ghost to Ming Sha and metamorphosis, most like Yin Sha Qi, to restore the dao is the best way. But now that the Underworld Fiend had been destroyed, it was absolutely impossible for it to return to its former peak state. At most, it could only devour the essence of flesh and blood to make up for it and recover its vitality. However, voodoo ghosts were not the same as ordinary ghosts. Flesh and blood weren’t very compatible with them. At most, they could help them recover 50% of their original cultivation. It would be almost useless in the future. ”

“However, the True Dragon Blood is different. It is the only flesh and blood essence in this world that can greatly nourish voodoo ghosts. Once it hears about it, it will definitely not let go.”

The old dragon’s deep and aged voice seemed to be echoing in Shen Shi’s ears as he climbed up the stairs. That whisper in the dark cave was the first time the two of them had ever talked in their lives, yet they had inexplicably entrusted such an important task to him.

Perhaps, in the end, the old dragon’s oil had dried up.

Perhaps, there was no other way.

Perhaps, he was just looking at Little Black with pleasure.

Shen Shi did not quite understand the ancient dragon’s intentions. However, he could clearly hear the meaning behind those words. Furthermore, he did know that in the Soul Suppressing Abyss surrounded by thousands of ghost souls, apart from listening to the old dragon’s words and risking his life, he truly had no better choice.

Even if this method looked so dangerous, it was still so unimaginable.

Yes, the way the old dragon told Shen Shi in his ear made people even have an unreal feeling:

“Take out the dragon blood and climb the Lonely Peak. After you think of a way to get close to the altar, there will be a skeleton pattern. That is the pattern of a voodoo ghost. However, if you look closely at the left eye of the skeleton, you will find that there are slight jagged teeth on the inside of the eye socket. It looks like a long-standing crack, but in reality, it is an extremely hidden dragon pattern.”

“That’s the last thing I did back then.”

“All you have to do is touch this drop of dragon blood onto that hidden dragon mark, and if it is the true body of a voodoo ghost, that is, the scarlet egg that is still on the altar, then you will undoubtedly die.”

“Voodoo Ghost is naturally suspicious and cunning. Although he probably doesn’t know about my arrangement, it is indeed dangerous and difficult for a mortal like you to accomplish this. Whether or not you can succeed depends on the will of the heavens.”

The deep voice was like a tidal wave in Shen Shi’s heart, surging repeatedly over and over again. It was precisely in this deep footsteps that he finally slowly walked through this light staircase and stepped onto the peak of this lonely peak for the first time.

The miserable green light here seemed to be weaker than the one under Soul Suppressing Abyss. It was probably because the white light that remained was entangled with the green light. The slight neutralization caused the pressure on the invisible Death Spirit Yin Qi to ease slightly. In front of the altar at the top, there were four people, three of whom were dead. It was the Hou couple and their son, Hou Yuanliang, who had already been sucked out of their flesh and blood, and had died miserably.

On the other hand, there was another person standing on the side … It couldn’t be said to be a human, right? That was Hou Sheng. He stood there quietly, his head lowered, his eyes dull, as if he didn’t respond to any sounds from the outside world, and the two ghost flames in his eyes had also disappeared at some unknown time.

Shen Shi glanced at the three dead people on the ground and then at Hou Sheng, who was standing on the side of the mountain. For a moment, he truly felt as if he was in another world. However, at this moment, after all, it was not the time to sigh with emotion. He did not have the heart to touch these things. Soon, he moved his gaze away and looked at the most conspicuous place on the peak of Lonely Peak.

It was an altar, a sacrificial altar that had once “confined” the voodoo ghost’s true body.

The bright white pillars of light that were originally hanging down, At this moment, it was completely suppressed by the black light emitted by the black crystal. It was scattered in a messy state. Only a few thin and weak lights continued to descend tenaciously. It seemed as if it was still determined to complete the mission entrusted to it by its former master. However, from the looks of it, it gave off a feeling of desolation and desolation.

The skeleton that had walked up earlier had already stepped onto the altar and stood in front of the scarlet egg.

In front of it, the scarlet egg seemed to become excited. Countless strange antennae appeared on its surface, trembling and wriggling slightly in midair as it slowly floated towards the white skeleton of the skeleton.

The skeleton grinned in horror, as if laughing in a low voice. It even used its hand to gently and carefully stroke the surface of the egg, as if it was a lover who had been separated for many years. Then, it turned around and the ghost fire in its eyes suddenly lit up. An inexplicable howl burst out from the giant egg. The speed of its twisting increased tens of times in an instant, and its shape suddenly swayed like a wave of water, like mud, attaching itself to the skeleton.

Shen Shi hugged the dragon blood and stared blankly at this bizarre scene. He was astonished to see that when the mud from the crimson eggs pounced on the skeleton skeleton, a wave of white smoke hissed and the white hard bones were corroded in an instant.

However, the skeleton allowed its bones to gradually be devoured by the “soft mud” and remained motionless. At the same time, the ghost fire in its eyes coldly looked at Shen Shi and the drop of dragon blood in its arms.

With a single glance, Wu Gui’s eyes seemed to be inseparable from the drop of blood.

“Giant, Dragon, True, Blood …”

Shen Shi slowly spat out these four words from the skeleton’s mouth. For some reason, his voice seemed to tremble slightly. It was quite different from the conversation he had with the old dragon at Soul Suppressing Abyss. It even made people feel a little painful.

Perhaps it was because of the strange thing that was happening on its body. The “soft mud” created by the scarlet eggs had already devoured most of the skeletons, leaving only half of its chest and neck and head unsubmerged. However, the skeleton didn’t seem to care at all and only stared at the drop of dragon blood in Shen Shi’s hand.

“Take, pass, come” The skeleton said word by word, looking down at Shen Shi condescendingly.

The corner of Shen Shi’s eyes twitched slightly. He felt that his heartbeat had suddenly accelerated by a lot. However, there wasn’t any change on his face. He even lowered his head slightly as if he was afraid. Then, he respectfully and carefully held the true blood of the giant dragon and walked forward.

The distance between the altar and him wasn’t too far. Seeing that it was only a dozen or so steps away, Shen Shi walked forward step by step. He only felt that his heart was beating faster with every step he took.

The skeleton stood coldly on the altar, allowing the strange mud to burn and corrode its skeleton as it watched Shen Shi slowly walk over.

Finally, Shen Shi walked to the altar.

This process was so simple and smooth that Shen Shi couldn’t believe it. He had originally thought of thousands of possibilities in his heart, including the worst result of being snatched away by a witch ghost the moment he reached the peak of Lonely Peak. He had thought about it in his heart, but he had never expected that he would actually reach the altar so easily.

At this moment, there seemed to be only one final step left before the old dragon could tell him what to do.

He suddenly let out a splash, reverence and fear on his face. He knelt down before the altar and lowered his head. He shouted with a trembling voice, “The Magus King is here. I, I offer my dragon blood and beg for my life …”

As he spoke, his eyes instantly lit up as he looked towards the altar, searching for the skeletal pattern and the last hidden dragon pattern.

However, his body suddenly stiffened. His eyes seemed to freeze in an instant, carrying a bit of astonishment and disbelief. This was because in front of him, there was indeed a fist-sized skeletal pattern on the stone surface in front of the altar.

However, it was not just one, but ten skeletal patterns that were arranged in a row and separated by a few inches.

Ten skeletal patterns …

Ten skeletal patterns that looked exactly the same …

At this moment, Shen Shi was completely stunned. His mind was blank. At the same time, the cold voice of the Shaman Ghost came from above the altar. Furthermore, this time, the voice had returned to its original state and no longer felt like it was trembling. Every single word seemed to emit a deathly aura that enveloped Shen Shi’s body.

“Bring the dragon blood!”
