Killing God - Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Mountain Forest
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He looked at the way Zhong Qinglu stared at him, but for a moment, he didn’t know what to say. If he really wanted to go into detail, he had taken several adventures because of the fact that he was in a dilemma with spirit crystals in his cultivation. As for the private transaction he had with Zhong Qinglu when he was a teenager, it was merely adding a hundred pounds to his burden, making the pressure even heavier.

He asked himself, even without Yu Zhong Qing Lu’s trade back then and without the support of his family, he would still go to the Demon Island to take risks and hunt for more spirit crystals in order to earn more spirit crystals faster. Therefore, at this moment, Zhong Qinglu’s words had a faint hint of self-blame, but Shen Shi was somewhat ashamed. After hesitating for a moment, he bitterly smiled and said,

“You think too much. In fact, I was going to Demon Island regardless of whether I had a deal with you or not. Have you forgotten how many times I went to Demon Island when we reached a deal?”

Zhong Qinglu seemed to recall it for a moment. Then, her complexion turned slightly better. Without waiting for her to continue, Shen Shi said, “And look, even if I’m in danger this time, I actually heard that there might be …”

Halfway through his words, Shen Shi’s body suddenly trembled. He seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at the surrounding stone chambers and saw that there were only himself and Zhong Qinglu in the cave. The other furnishings were all in familiar positions as usual. However, when he looked at them, it was as if a familiar figure was missing from this cave.

His face suddenly turned a little pale. He turned to Zhong Qinglu with some difficulty and asked in a bitter voice, “You said that it has been seven days since the accident at Mount Gao Ling. Then … what about Xiao Hei? Where is it? Is it alright?”

Zhong Qinglu fell silent. After a moment, she whispered, “I heard Senior Brother Du say that when I found you in that mountain, I saw you faint on the ground. There were either corpses or ghosts nearby, but I didn’t see the Little Hei pig you raised. I guess …”

She glanced at Shen Shi’s shocked expression, sighed in her heart, and did not continue. At that moment, Shen Shi felt a muffled sound in his mind. It was as if something closest and most important had fallen to the ground. There was no reaction for a moment. He just stared blankly at the empty cave and didn’t say a word.

Within the mountains, there were secluded woods.

The dense trees grew and flourished. From the valley to the mountains, they formed a vast forest. In the forest deep within the mountain range, it had always been a place where human cultivators rarely traveled. It was also the residence of all kinds of wild beasts and demonic beasts.

Over the years, vines and thorns grew everywhere in the forest where towering ancient trees could be seen. All sorts of creatures struggled with each other and lived together. It was only natural for the weak to eat the strong here.

Then one day, a Little Hei pig walked over.

It was said to be small, but in fact, its body was already one lap larger than before. Although it looked smaller than an adult pig-type demonic beast, coupled with the pair of snow-white fangs that Little Hei had just grown recently, it already had a somewhat ferocious aura.

But along the way, Little Hei, I wonder if I was used to being tired and lazy with Shen Shi in the past, He looked lazy, There was a half of the stalk of a spirit herb in his mouth that he didn’t know what its name was, Take a few steps and chew, His expression was leisurely. Occasionally, he would stop to scratch the trunk of a tree, or simply sit down and scratch his neck with his hind leg hooves. After feeling comfortable, he continued to walk forward lazily. It was as if he did not feel the nervousness of being in an unfamiliar place, and beasts and demonic beasts would occasionally roam around here.

Looking at its appearance, the fur on its body was still black and shiny, but some places were already stained with dust. It was unknown how it had spent the past few days alone in this strange mountain forest, but it seemed that at least until now, this Little Hei pig did not seem to have encountered much trouble.

This forest was really big, stretching to several valleys. Little Hei was walking in the forest, not knowing where he should go. In the first day or two, it had tried to find Shen Shi’s aura through various methods. However, after that earth-shattering earthquake, the two of them completely lost contact. No matter how Little Hei searched, there was no news of Shen Shi.

By now, Little Hei had begun to slowly accept the reality that he might have to live alone in this mountain forest. Although he was somewhat lonely, somewhat depressed, and somewhat longing for Shen Shi, perhaps it was his nature that Little Hei wasn’t too addicted to sadness.

Luckily, because there were few people in this forest, there were many kinds of spiritual herbs. Although they weren’t so exaggerated that they could be seen everywhere, Xiao Hei quickly solved his food problem with his exceptionally keen sense of smell of spiritual herbs in the past few days.

Take a casual walk, you don’t need to expend too much effort to find some spiritual herbs hidden in the corner of the forest, and then you can continue to live leisurely. It seems that this day is actually quite easy.

Little Black opened his mouth and yawned loudly. He felt somewhat tired. In these past few days, he had either eaten or slept every day, or wandered aimlessly. The days were very simple. However, when it came to sleeping, Xiao Hei looked up at the tall and upright trees above his head. The thick branches were in the air, and he sighed for no reason.

In the past, when he followed Shen Shi, every time he spent the night in the wilderness, Shen Shi would bring him up to the tree to sleep. However, he was left alone now. He clumsily tried a few times, but was unable to climb up.

Little Hei looked at the lofty branches and suddenly felt a little depressed. He grunted twice, as if he had complained a few times, but the trace of drowsiness from earlier had disappeared unknowingly. Little Hei hesitated for a moment before continuing to walk forward.

In the clearing beneath the trees, weeds and moss grew together with various thorns and vines, competing for a small space to grow. Little Hei ignored the spikes and leaves beneath his feet as he walked. Suddenly, his body paused. He raised his head and sniffed twice in the air. His eyes revealed a hint of joy as he took a step forward.

Bypassing a large rock in front of him, Xiao Hei quickly found a strange spiritual herb with a slightly blue body in a crevice in the north of the rock under the shade of the tree. It was about a foot tall, and a beautiful sapphire-blue flower blossomed at the top.

Little Black immediately laughed happily. He threw the half of the grass stalk to the ground and ran over to grab the two front hooves randomly. Then, he bit the spirit herb with his mouth and forcefully pulled out the entire blue spirit herb. For a moment, the surrounding fragrance was refreshing and the smell was intoxicating. Clearly, this blue spirit herb was absolutely extraordinary.

Little Hei grinned. He looked very happy. He even couldn’t help but lick the spiritual herb with his tongue. He looked satisfied. However, his gaze immediately fell on the half of the stem of the spiritual herb. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly turned around and looked around. There was silence in the forest. Other than him, there was no trace of any shadow beast.

Little Black waited for a moment. After confirming that no one was there, he suddenly lowered his head and let his forehead approach the blue spiritual herb on the ground. In that instant, a strange red light suddenly flashed in the middle of his forehead between the black and shiny fur on the pig’s head. Then, the spiritual herb on the ground actually disappeared out of thin air.

Little Black raised his head and shook his head. He grinned and smiled again. He looked very satisfied. Then, he bit the half of the stalk of spiritual grass on the ground again and returned to his languid and leisurely appearance. He even walked forward with an inexplicable sense of playfulness.

Oh, a little black pig with an unruly demeanor and a spirit herb in its mouth …

But this time, after a while, However, his footsteps suddenly stopped. For the first time, he revealed a hint of vigilance in his leisurely and lazy expression. He stopped and looked ahead. Suddenly, a few low roars came from the depths of the forest in front of him. A moment later, a flash of light suddenly flashed. It was the refraction of the light from the forest on a sharp fang.

Behind the dense bushes of thorns and weeds, Suddenly, he slowly separated to both sides. Under the vigilant gaze of the Little Hei pig, an extremely strong grey wild boar demonic beast walked out. Its entire body was gray, and its fangs were sharp like swords. It looked more than twice the size of Little Hei. The strong Kong Wu was even more powerful than Little Hei. At this moment, he was looking at the weak Little Hei pig with a sinister and fierce gaze.

As for the movements in the weeds, they didn’t stop. As the sound of footsteps continued, four more similar pig demonic beasts walked out from behind the wild boar demonic beast. They looked slightly shorter than the previous one, but they were still much taller than Blackie.

If Shen Shi was here, he would quickly recognize that this was a pig-type demonic beast called the “grey earth pig”. It was considered a distant relative of the stone-skinned pig in the Demon Realm back then. There were a large number of them in the Gaoling Mountain Range, and it could be considered a low-grade but powerful and fierce demonic beast.

The five grey pigs gathered around Little Hei with ill intentions and surrounded him. The giant grey pigs roared fiercely at Little Hei before charging at Little Hei.

With a howl, the birds nearby in the forest were startled.

“This is your Ruyi bag. Put it away first.” Within the Golden Rainbow Mountain Shen Shi’s cave residence, Zhong Qinglu looked at the confused Shen Shi, sighed softly in her heart, and then changed the topic.

Shen Shi sat in a daze for a moment. He raised his head and smiled bitterly. He looked at the Ruyi Bag in Zhong Qinglu’s hand and took it over. He only caressed the soft body of the Ruyi Bag with his fingers, but his heart was filled with bitterness.

Zhong Qinglu said, “This Ruyi bag was left behind by Senior Brother Du. When I sent you back that day, Senior Brother Du was very honest. He took out your Cloud Talisman from this Ruyi bag and opened the cave in front of us. He told us not to move anything else, so don’t worry, the things inside have always been intact.”

Shen Shi nodded. His mind was still somewhat uncertain, Normally, the silhouette of Little Hei would always flash past his eyes. However, it was useless for him to know so much in the end, Why don’t you hurry up and recover from your injuries, He tried his best to find some hope in Gaoling Mountain. However, even he knew that this hope was too slim. After all, how vast the Gaoling Mountain Range was and where to find a small black pig. Moreover, the collapse that day was so intense. Whether Little Hei could escape from the Soul Suppressing Abyss was also a question.

However, no matter what he thought, he couldn’t accept the possibility of Little Hei dying. Perhaps … after returning from the Demon Realm, only Little Hei was left with him, while the Old Bai Monkey and the Stone Pig were separated by Yin and Yang forever.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the inexplicable pain in his heart. He casually put his Spiritual Sense into the Ruyi Pouch. After scanning it, he was suddenly stunned. This pouch was indeed as Zhong Qinglu said earlier, there were quite a few items in it.

However, the problem was that there were indeed quite a few original items, but at this moment, there were two more items in the Ruyi Bag.

The blade of a broken sword and a small piece of black stone crystal looked ordinary and ordinary. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation. They were like useless debris on the roadside. They were not eye catching at all.

However, Shen Shi’s heart stirred up in an instant. Of course, he knew the origins of these two items, but the question was, how did they end up in his Ruyi bag?

He vaguely remembered that at the Soul Suppressing Abyss that day, the fragment of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword had stabbed into his stomach with the black crystal. That was why the drop of dragon blood entered his dantian Qi Sea, and he couldn’t remember it very clearly afterwards.

Perhaps, when he opened his eyes again and saw ghosts surging towards him, he stuffed them into Ruyi’s bag in panic?

Was this the instinctive reaction of a poor man who was greedy for money … Shen Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
