Killing God - Chapter 260
Chapter 260 Array Pattern
When Little Hei followed Shen Shi in the past, he had always been lazy. Apart from his closest friends and countless Lingxiao Sect disciples on Golden Rainbow Mountain, he probably couldn’t remember a few faces. However, when he was at the Soul Suppressing Abyss that day, all sorts of soul-stirring and dangerous deaths had left a deep impression on him, and Hou Sheng had once appeared at the peak of that lonely peak.
Although Little Hei hadn’t really stepped foot on that lonely peak, it stayed beside the Primordial Yin Dragon under Soul Suppressing Abyss and saw Hou Sheng’s face from the strange ball of light on the stone wall. Thus, Little Hei recognized him at first glance and was immediately shocked.
After being stunned, it soon discovered the anomaly of Hou Sheng. On the lonely peak below Soul Suppressing Abyss, Hou Sheng’s eyes had once lit up with ghost-specific flames. However, looking at it now, Hou Sheng’s eyes were filled with pain, panic, and despair. All sorts of emotions seemed to be mixed together in chaos, but there was no ghost fire among the ghosts. Moreover, if he was still a ghost, Hou Sheng’s body was clearly fleshy. Not only was it completely different from the ghosts like the skeleton ghost, but even if it was a ghost like a zombie that was barely close to him in appearance, there was still a huge gap between him and the ghost.
However, if Hou Sheng was not a ghost, there was a strange problem here. It was obvious that this person was staying in this large group of ghosts, and his time was not short. However, there were so many ghosts all over the place, but not a single ghost could see any signs of attempting to attack him. As everyone knew, almost all ghosts had an almost instinctive thirst for flesh and blood vitality from living creatures, including living humans. It was simply unimaginable for this large group of ghosts to surround a living person without attacking him.
But now, this unimaginable thing had actually happened in front of him.
Of course, Little Black’s pig head couldn’t really think through all these things in an instant like a human. However, due to its instinctive reaction, it could also see that this scene before it was extremely strange, emitting an indescribable strange aura.
After being shocked, Little Hei quickly reacted. He did not like this feeling very much, and he did not like this thing that was mixed up with those ghosts. Therefore, Little Hei directly shouted at Hou Sheng, who was trembling with fear. He gritted his teeth and let out a low, hostile roar.
As soon as Little Hei spoke, a large group of wild boars and demonic beasts immediately roared behind him. Their cries rose and fell one after another, and each pig’s expression revealed obvious hostility as they slowly surrounded him from several directions.
Hou Sheng, who was curled up on the ground and trembling in the pile of corpses, seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked around. After seeing the large herd of wild boars and demonic beasts gradually surround him, He was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he couldn’t figure out what was happening in front of him. However, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed and he fell back into a strange mess. However, perhaps out of instinct for the dangers around him, Hou Sheng suddenly jumped up from the ground, shouted loudly, turned around, and ran away.
When he suddenly jumped up from the ground, the pigs were all shocked. There were even quite a few strong and ferocious wild boars that immediately made offensive gestures. However, before any wild boars could react, they saw this strange “human” turn around and run wildly. Moreover, its speed was extremely fast, even surpassing that of ordinary demonic beasts.
Little Black was also frightened for a moment. After he reacted, he was instantly enraged. He roared angrily and chased after him. A large group of wild boars also followed him, screaming and letting go of their footsteps as they chased after Hou Sheng.
However, Hou Sheng felt that although something was wrong, it was not normal. But in this strange forest, His speed was actually getting faster and faster. The wild boars chased after him for a long time. Not only did they not catch up with him, they were actually gradually pushed back by Hou Sheng. That was to say, only Little Hei’s body speed was much faster than before since he came out of Soul Suppressing Abyss. Only then would he be able to catch up reluctantly without being left behind, but he was unable to close the gap with Hou Sheng.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Little Hei’s speed had met an enemy since he arrived at this mountain forest. He chased after them like this and ran wildly through the forest. Not long after, they left the dense forest where they had fought. Although the large herd of wild boars was slightly slower, they were still chasing closely behind them, chasing after them all the way.
After running like this for an unknown amount of time, the terrain suddenly paused and he arrived at the foot of a mountain. Hou Sheng only focused on running for the road and charged straight up the mountain. Little Hei chased after him. Just as he was about to charge up the mountain, a low roar of a beast suddenly came from an unknown place on the mountain.
The beast’s roar was deep and powerful. Although it sounded somewhat distant, its tone contained an invisible might, causing one’s heart to palpitate. Little Hei was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously stopped and looked up at the top of the mountain. A moment later, a large herd of wild boars ran over from the forest behind him and stopped beside Little Hei.
Little Hei looked around for a while, then turned around to look at the surrounding terrain. He discovered that he had unknowingly run to the edge of the dozens of mountains. In other words, when he led the pigs to take down this territory, the land boundary did not exceed this mountain peak.
Since ancient times, all the herds of pigs had lived in the mountains and forests of Mount Gaoling. This area was already large enough to accommodate all the wild boars and demonic beasts. Thus, in the past, no wild boar had ever offended or stepped on a mountain peak outside this territory.
Perhaps it was because so many wild boars and demonic beasts had suddenly gathered at the foot of the mountain, Moreover, not all of the beasts showed good intentions. This seemed to have angered the mysterious demonic beasts on this mountain peak. A low roar came from the high mountain again. However, this time, the roar carried a bit of anger, and the tone of the roar increased by a lot. There seemed to be some intense killing intent among the roars of the mysterious demonic beasts.
“Pa pa” A few voices suddenly sounded from behind, Little Hei turned around and said, However, he discovered that a few wild boars were actually unable to resist the ferocious might of the beast’s roar. His body trembled as he lay on the ground. The rest of the wild boars were also affected to some extent. It seemed that on this mountain peak was a ferocious demonic beast that surpassed all the enemies they had encountered before. Under the majestic and ferocious might, just a single roar could actually scare these wild boars and demonic beasts to paralysis.
Perhaps this was already a natural suppression. Little Hei stood in front of the herd of pigs and looked at the mountain with an unfriendly gaze. However, after hesitating for a while, it did not come strong. Instead, it muttered a few words in a low voice before retreating back to the original forest.
The wild boars heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed. They looked at the mountain peak without stopping. After these wild boars and demonic beasts gradually disappeared into the forest, the mountain peak regained its calm. No more beast roars could be heard. It was as if nothing had happened.
As for Hou Sheng, who had just rushed up the mountain peak, there was no trace of him at this moment. He didn’t know where he was anymore.

Looking at the mountain pig demonic beast that had died miserably in front of him, Shen Shi frowned and a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes. However, he did not show any signs of being too weak, nor did he turn his head away. Instead, after observing the surrounding environment, he slowly walked up.
The boar had been nailed to the tree trunk and had long since died. Blood flowed all over the ground, dyeing a large area red. Its death was very miserable. Shen Shi walked to the side of the demonic beast and looked up and down sharply. A moment later, his gaze narrowed and landed on the shocking wound on the abdomen of the mountain pig carcass, as if he had discovered something.
He slowly squatted down in front of the mountain pig. The strong smell of blood made him want to vomit, but his expression did not change. Perhaps he had been accustomed to seeing the scene of bloody slaughter since he was a teenager, making him mentally accustomed to the scene of death much more than ordinary people.
Because of the excessive loss of blood, the pork had a slightly pale white color. It looked a little creepy. In addition to the shocking open wound and the wounds inside, it was really uncomfortable. However, after looking at it for a moment, Shen Shi suddenly reached out and gently pulled the pork aside.
The light descended from behind him and shone on the boar’s body. A two-inch wide black pentagonal array pattern was engraved on the boar’s flesh and blood, reflecting it in Shen Shi’s eyes.
Shen Shi frowned even more tightly. Looking at this strange formation pattern, it didn’t seem to be particularly complicated. There were less than ten lines, but there were many twists and turns. It seemed to be similar to the talisman pattern at first glance, but Shen Shi had cultivated in the Talisman Dao for many years. He could tell that this formation pattern had nothing to do with talismans at all. Instead, it looked like a strange formation flow.
The Dao of Arrays also had a long history. Legend has it that ancient arrays were passed down from ancient times. They were mysterious, mysterious, and unfathomable, and possessed all sorts of inconceivable divine abilities. After hundreds of thousands of years, The Dao of Arrays rose and fell, To this day, However, it flourished in the human cultivation world, It had become a prominent technique. All sorts of formations with magical effects had been created by the powerful elders and geniuses one after another. Each of them had their own wondrous divine abilities, causing countless cultivators to be intoxicated by it. Even a famous sect like Lingxiao Sect had an independent and important entrance to the Formation Hall. Moreover, it was extremely powerful and could not be underestimated.
Shen Shi wasn’t too unfamiliar with the formation technique. Half of it was because he had talismans that he had cultivated since he was a child, which could be considered an extremely unusual branch of a formation. The other half was because Zhong Qingzhu had worshipped the Ling Xiao Sect’s array hall, so he usually had some contact with them. Although they were only superficial, he was still able to recognize some things.
The black five-horned formation pattern looked like a very crude small formation. Shen Shi was still unable to determine what its function was, but it would be used on a mountain pig. Moreover, the mountain pig’s death was so strange and tragic. Obviously, it was not something of the Righteous Dao.
After looking at it for a while, Shen Shi slowly stood up. After pondering for a moment, a trace of worry flashed across his face. Then, he walked over and continued walking forward.
However, just like what he was worried about in his heart, something happened. In the next two days, he actually discovered a similar scene on the other two mountains in the forest. The same array patterns, the same location, and the dead demonic beasts were all wild boars and demonic beasts.
It could be said that the first time was a coincidence, but if it happened again and again, it would not make sense.
However, why were all the dead demonic beasts pig demons?
Who would have done all these strange and unfathomable things?
When Shen Shi left the third wild boar corpse at dusk, he looked at the forest in front of him and silently pondered in his heart. There was an inexplicable trace of doubt and worry.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the mountains in front of the forest rose and fell. Outside the top of the mountain, it seemed to be the tallest mountain in the forest nearby.
The night was approaching.
