Killing God - Chapter 258
Chapter 258 Dead Pig
Continuing northward from the collapsed ruins, there was almost no path left to walk. In the past, this was a remote mountain range. Even some loose cultivators who picked herbs and hunted rarely went deep into the broadest forest in the mountain range.
Shen Shi walked through the forest. The forest without mountain paths was deep and difficult to travel, but this did not discourage him. He walked all the way to the mountains and rivers. He walked alone in this open forest.
Thus, after walking for three days, he had already crossed five or six mountain tops and entered this forest. In the first days, he would occasionally see traces of cultivators at the edge of this forest. However, at this moment, all traces of the others had completely disappeared. It seemed that he was the only one left in this forest.
After a careful search of the nearby woods, Shen Shi was once again disappointed to discover that the mountain top he was on did not have anything he wanted to find. In fact, as he walked deeper and deeper into the forest, Shen Shi could vaguely feel that something was amiss. Although everything in the forest seemed to be very calm, including the demonic beasts here, he had seen many large and small demonic beasts from beginning to end. However, Shen Shi found that he had never seen wild boars and demonic beasts before.
Not a single one.
For some reason, the most common pig-like demonic beasts in the wild forest of the Primordial Chaos Realms suddenly seemed to have disappeared from the forests of the Gaoling Mountain Range, disappearing without a trace.
Perhaps this had something to do with the rumors about the black pig?
Shen Shi frowned and walked down the mountain, heading towards another mountain. A cultivator’s physique far surpasses that of a mortal, Ordinary people worked very hard walking in this primeval forest, However, it would be much easier for cultivators. However, as the saying goes, seeing dead horses running in the mountains, this mountain range continued to rise and fall. If Shen Shi wanted to go from the current mountain peak to the mountain in front of him, he had to first descend a high mountain, cross a deep valley, then look at the river that he had to trek across the mountains, and then start climbing. It was really troublesome.
So at this point, Like most people, Shen Shi would envy those cultivators who possessed the ability to fly. Of course, the most satisfying and lofty among them was the Grand Daoist of the Origin Core Realm. They were all great cultivators with Dao Arts that could penetrate the heavens. When they reached that realm, they could directly fly through the air without using any magical artifacts. It could be said that they were extremely carefree and carefree.
Under the Origin Core Realm, Whether it was a Divine Concept cultivator or an Origin Condensation cultivator, If fortune coincided with fortune or wealth, there would be some rare flying magical artifacts that infused spiritual energy into them to catch the spiritual energy of magical artifacts. They could almost fly as well. However, each person’s cultivation level was different. Some of them could fly for a very long time, while others could only fly for a certain distance. However, even so, he could at least fly directly from this mountain to that mountain. There was no need to mention the convenience and speed.
Shen Shi thought to himself. He walked all the way down the mountain. It was only when he was about to reach the mountainside that a shrill scream suddenly came from the depths of the forest in front of him. His voice was loud and mournful, filled with pain and despair. Hearing this, he could not tell which demonic beast had been killed and howled in despair. However, after a slight tremor, Shen Shi felt that this miserable howl seemed to be a bit like the miserable scream of a pig-type demonic beast.
The corner of Shen Shi’s eyes twitched slightly. He immediately stopped. In the blink of an eye, he looked at the mountain in front of a deep valley. However, there were also dense woods over there. Everything seemed to be covered by green branches and leaves. He couldn’t see what was happening on that mountain clearly.
Even if Shen Shi was an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator, it would take him at least half a day to reach the mountain through the valley below. Looking at the distance between the mountains, there was a feeling that they were very close to each other.
Shen Shi’s mind raced, and the shrill scream from earlier kept echoing in his mind. For some unknown reason, his heart was somewhat anxious. At this moment, he suddenly saw a stone beam extending horizontally not far from the hillside.
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He took a step forward and ran there. Not long after, he ran to the stone beam and looked carefully. Indeed, it was a huge mountain rock that flew out of the sky, forming a dangerous cliff hanging out of the mountain. It was almost twenty zhang away.
Walking to the stone beam of the dangerous cliff, there was no forest to block it. Below his feet was a hundred feet deep valley. Immediately, a strong mountain wind blew past the mountain. It was as if he had the illusion that he would be blown up by the mountain wind and fall to the cliff in the next moment.
More than twenty zhang away from the end of the stone beam was the mountain opposite. However, there were no similar protruding rocks or mountains in the corresponding location of the mountain. From the looks of it, it was filled with verdant trees.
The distance of more than twenty zhang was so far away. However, Shen Shi stood on the stone beam and stared at the mountain range in front of him. His eyes suddenly lit up.
The mountain breeze blew past. The miserable scream from earlier seemed to have been blown away by the wind. It dissipated into the mountains. The forest was silent, as if nothing had happened. Only a faint hint of killing intent remained on the top of the mountain.
Shen Shi’s expression was solemn. He no longer hesitated. After taking a deep breath, he took a final look at the distance between the stone beam and the mountain in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly and he slowly extended his right hand.
A strand of azure energy slowly rose up, then circled around to form a slender vortex, slowly spinning in his palm.
Five Elements Technique-Wind Riding Technique.
Amongst the three Tier 2 spells he was cultivating, the Wind-controlling Spell was the most difficult and the last. However, compared to the Heavenly Lightning Strike and Wild Flame Spell, the speed of the Wind-controlling Spell was astonishingly fast. Perhaps this was because the Wind-controlling Spell basically didn’t have any offensive power, so the Spiritual Energy was more free and agile.
Shen Shi glanced at the cyclone in his hand. Then, he withdrew his right hand and placed it behind him. He gritted his teeth and strode forward on the stone beam. His pace was fast, and the mountain wind blew even faster. Seeing the stone beam getting narrower and thinner in front of him, the valley suddenly appeared in front of him.
Shen Shi suddenly leapt into the air and jumped out of the stone beam.
Behind him, the azure cyclone instantly roared out from his palm, transforming into an inconceivable ball of hurricane wolves that directly lifted Shen Shi’s body in midair and violently flew forward.
It was hard to say what kind of feeling that was. Shen Shi only felt the strong wind rushing towards his face like a knife. The green forest in front of him was rapidly growing larger. In the howling of the strong wind, he seemed like a bird soaring in the air. He directly rushed through the void of the valley and crashed into the forest opposite him.
In midair, his body stood upright, but a golden light suddenly lit up from his body. Although it looked a little blurry, it looked like a golden armor. There was even a faint shadow of a golden dragon circling around.
Afterwards, his entire body crashed into the forest like a stone. After a loud explosion, he directly broke two small trees and rolled away from the ground for more than ten zhang before stopping.
As a rare technique, the Wind Riding Technique did have many limitations. It was far from being able to fly freely in the sky with the aid of flying spirit artifacts. Once it was cast, it would be like an arrow that left the string, unable to turn its head. It could be said to be rude and reckless. However, when Shen Shi gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, he checked his body and found that there were only a few scratches on his body that weren’t serious. He felt that this Wind Riding Technique was really the right choice.
The Yuan Condensation Realm cultivator’s body was tough and powerful. In addition, he was also slightly prepared. He even activated the golden stone armor divine ability in mid-air. Oh, perhaps the Dao Art divine ability that should be called the Golden Dragon Armor was more appropriate. Under the protection of this divine ability, this seemingly incomparably ferocious collision force was endured by Shen Shi as if nothing had happened.
Standing in the forest, Shen Shi was sure that he had indeed leapt over and was safe and sound. His first reaction was to be overjoyed. Before this, he had cultivated these divine abilities separately. However, when he saw this situation by chance, he had the courage to try it out. However, the effect was truly beyond his expectations. With such experience today, there was far too much room for the Wind Riding Technique to be used in the future.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He then looked around and saw that the forest here did not seem to be much different from other places. The place he had just bumped into was a mess. However, when the mountain wind blew past, Shen Shi suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.
Shen Shi’s expression darkened slightly. After pondering for a moment, he walked towards the direction where the bloody aura floated.
④
At the same time, on the other side of the mountain, there were three figures walking in the forest. One of them was actually the Mountain Bear Hall cultivator Xie Feiguang, whom Shen Shi had seen in Gaoling City that day. Looking at them, it seemed that they were heading deeper into the vast mountain forest.
As he walked, Xie Feiguang, who was at the forefront of the three of them, suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at the mountain peak with a look of surprise on his face.
The two people next to him quickly discovered that he was the same. One of them said, “What’s wrong?”
Xie Feiguang frowned and hesitated for a moment. “I think I heard something strange from behind the mountain. Did you hear it?”
The other two men were stunned for a moment, but then they shook their heads together and said, “No.”
Xie Feiguang remained silent for a moment, then smiled and said, “This old man from the mountains and forests, it’s really unbearable to walk for so long. Forget it, maybe I heard wrong, let’s continue walking.”
The other two men looked at him and nodded expressionlessly. Thus, the three of them continued to walk in this forest, heading towards the depths of the unfathomable mountain forest in the distance like three silent wild beasts, quietly advancing.
④
On the other side of the mountain forest, Shen Shi stopped and walked in the forest. He carefully identified the trace of blood aura that was still floating in the forest. However, his sense of smell was clearly far from Little Hei’s, so it took him a lot of effort to find it. After about half an hour, he finally found a general location and walked to a forest on the hillside.
At this point, The stench of blood intensified. Shen Shi calmed down and carefully walked forward. He circled a few large trees and walked a bit further in the dimly lit forest. Suddenly, a clearing appeared in front of him. The smell of blood in the air was so thick that it seemed like it was about to turn into steam. A wisp of crimson blood burst out in front of him.
Shen Shi subconsciously held his breath almost instantly. His pupils contracted and he stood there. He looked at the trunk of a large tree in the open space in front of him. A pig was directly nailed to the tree with its four limbs. Then, it used a sharp blade to rip open its stomach. Blood flowed all over its organs, and its head tilted to the side. It was already dead.
Looking at this pitifully dead mountain pig demonic beast, an icy cold aura seemed to slowly rise from the soles of his feet and spread throughout Shen Shi’s body.
