Killing God - Chapter 266
Chapter 266 Mi Gu
After walking through the forest and arriving at the foot of the mountain peak, Shen Shi raised his head and saw that the mountain peak was tall and steep. There were many monstrous cliffs that abruptly emerged. Half of the mountain was covered with emerald green trees, while the other half was completely dark gray hard rocks. It seemed a bit incompatible.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at the mountain range for a while, Shen Shi frowned and said to Little Black, “What are you doing here?”
Little Hei shook his head at the top of the mountain and shouted twice. Shen Shitou scratched his head and didn’t quite understand. However, he suddenly thought of something else. He walked over to Little Hei and squatted down. He carefully sized up the Little Hei pig up and down.
Little Hei was somewhat nervous. He stared at Shen Shi and subconsciously took a step back.
Shen Shi smiled. Then, his gaze fell on the pair of snow-white fangs growing out of Little Hei’s mouth. He curled his lips and stretched out his hand to touch them. He said, “The last time I was in Soul Suppressing Abyss, I clearly didn’t have them. Why did you turn from a domestic pig into a wild pig this time?”
Little Black snorted and shook his head in anger. He shook his head upwards, seemingly extremely arrogant, as if I looked down on you.
Shen Shi wasn’t angry either. He smiled and carried Little Hei over. Then, he looked at it and whispered, “There’s something I’ve wanted to ask you for a long time.”
Little Hei’s eyelids suddenly twitched.
Shen Shi said seriously, “Yesterday, when I saved you, the ground suddenly appeared one spirit herb after another for no reason. What was going on?”
Xiao Hei widened his eyes and looked at Shen Shi without moving or saying a word.
Shen Shi snorted and said, “Don’t pretend to be dead, hurry up and say it!”
Little Hei remained indifferent. He waved his butt and jumped out of his hand. Then, he walked forward. Shen Shi followed behind him and questioned him for a long time. However, Little Hei still had a look of not getting any oil or salt in. It was obvious that he was incomparably determined to protect his food.
Shen Shi rolled his eyes. He took out a spirit crystal from his bosom and handed it to Little Hei. He smiled and said, “Do you want it?”
Little Hei’s gaze was fixed on him, and he was about to pounce forward. Shen Shi quickly put it away, and then said to the little pig seriously, “Give me the spirit herbs in exchange, oh …” He thought for a moment, then continued,
“One for ten spiritual herbs!”
Little Hei pouted and swallowed a little saliva. Then, he snorted, looked at Shen Shi with contempt, and shook his head before leaving.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment before muttering, “This fellow seems to be a bit smarter after turning into a wild boar …”

One man and one pig went up the hill from the foot of the mountain, Along the way, Shen Shi surrounded Xiao Hei and talked nonsense. He tried his best to figure out this mysterious secret on Xiao Hei’s body, or he wanted to know how many spiritual herbs this fellow had hidden. Helplessly, Xiao Hei was extremely wary of this and refused to give him any moisture. He just took half of the spiritual herbs that he did not know how to produce and walked leisurely in front of him.
Shen Shi was also depressed in the end. Scratching his head, he thought that the days ahead would be long anyway and he would figure it out. As Little Hei walked, his nose suddenly moved as if he could smell something. Then, the pig head took a look into the depths of a nearby forest and rushed over. Its movements were extremely agile.
Shen Shi was shocked. He hurriedly followed him. Then, he saw Xiao Hei running under a big tree in the forest. He looked around for a moment and took out a large gray-colored mushroom from the root of a tree.
Shen Shi stared at the mushroom. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He hurriedly rushed over and snatched the azure mushroom from the little pig’s mouth. After observing it carefully for a while, he was pleasantly surprised and said, “Void Origin Mushroom!”
In the Primordial Chaos Pharmacopoeia, the Void Origin Mushroom was a high-grade third-grade spirit herb, and its value was extremely high. However, what made Shen Shi even happier was that this rare third-grade spirit herb was precisely the main ingredient of the six third-grade spirit pill recipes that Zhong Qinglu had given him back then, and it was the most important spirit material necessary to refine the Primordial Spirit Pill.
Before this, although he had paid more attention to it, the main ingredients of the six pill formulas were all rare and precious third-grade spirit herbs. It was truly difficult to find them. He never expected that he would find one in this mountain today.
He was overjoyed, but Xiao Hei was a little anxious. He jumped around beside him, pushing and squeezing, trying to reach the Void Origin Mushroom with his head tilted upwards, as if he was reluctant to part with this treasure.
Shen Shi laughed heartily. He hugged Xiao Hei’s neck and sat down. He smiled and said, “Good Xiao Hei, I have a use for this mushroom. Let me have it first.”
Little Hei hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph.
As he spoke, he directly stuffed the spirit crystal in his hand into Little Hei’s mouth. Little Hei was stunned for a moment, and then his mouth closed. He immediately became happy. It seemed that he really liked this spirit crystal. He happily stopped pestering Shen Shi and began to walk forward.
Shen Shi laughed loudly. He thought to himself that a single spirit crystal could be exchanged for this third-grade spirit herb. He really made a lot of money. He was very pleased with himself. He put the Void Origin Mushroom into his Ruyi bag and followed Xiao Hei. However, after taking a few steps, he was suddenly stunned. He thought of something and raised his eyebrows.
“Hello, Little Hei?” Shen Shi shouted from behind, “No, it’s not right. The front is on your mountain territory. We’ve walked for so long and passed through so many forest peaks. Why haven’t you found spiritual herbs before? Yet, you found them here?”
Little Hei’s mouth was filled with spirit crystals as he chewed contentedly, pretending not to hear anything.
Shen Shi quickly walked to its side and smiled, “Stinking pig, to be honest, did you sweep away all the spiritual herbs on those dozens of mountains during your time as the Mountain King?”
Little Hei staggered and coughed. He seemed to have choked on the spirit crystal in his mouth, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Shen Shi stood behind it, staring at the black pig with a dumbfounded expression, but he was speechless for a moment.

Along the way, Shen Shi followed Little Hei halfway up the mountain. He discovered that the trees on the mountain had obviously started to sparse, revealing large patches of bare rocks that emitted a desolate aura. It was completely different from the vigorous appearance of the mountain forest.
Shen Shi turned around and looked around. He saw that the mountain ahead was getting steeper and steeper. There wasn’t anything worth paying attention to. He couldn’t help but ask Little Black, “Little Hei, what exactly are we doing here?”
Little Hei naturally couldn’t answer his question clearly without speaking. He only snorted and signaled for Shen Shi to follow him. Then, he continued walking up the mountain. Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and could only follow him. As he walked, he looked at the increasingly desolate rocks in the surrounding mountains. Shen Shi did not see any animal shadows. In fact, even the weeds and trees were gradually extinct.
Apart from rocks, It looked like a lifeless mountain, However, for some reason, Little Hei had been persisting in walking up the mountain. As Shen Shi walked, he recalled it for a moment. He suddenly realized that after he went up the mountain, he did not see any large demonic beasts. Even in that mountain forest, other than some small birds and rats, he did not see any other wild beasts.
Here, this mountain seemed to have a unique feeling.
Shen Shi’s expression gradually became somewhat solemn. He took a few steps to catch up with Little Hei. Just as he was about to speak, Little Hei suddenly stopped. He looked ahead and let out a low roar.
Shen Shi followed its gaze and said, His expression instantly changed slightly. There was a line of heavenly rift under a cliff in front of him. Inside, there seemed to be a valley. However, there were many milky white silk ribbons with gray dots all over the wall of the rift. From the looks of it, it was somewhat similar to the spider silk he usually saw.
A few strange roars seemed to come from the deep valley behind the cliff rift.
Shen Shi stared at the crack for a while, his eyes flashing. A moment later, he suddenly patted Little Hei to indicate that he would follow him. Then, he really turned around and walked towards the other side of the cliff.
This place was filled with strange rocks and cliffs, but for cultivators with Dao Cultivators, climbing these cliffs was not too difficult. Shen Shi climbed up this cliff, and even had the strength to pull Little Hei’s hands and feet and use the land together.
When he reached the top of the cliff, he felt his vision suddenly widen. He was already standing at the top of the mountain, but there was a huge valley surrounded by rock walls. The strange, tough, and thick white spider silk he had seen before was everywhere, crisscrossing and covering every corner of the valley.
And in the middle of the valley, in the middle of the spider web, Surprisingly, there was a gigantic black spider lying on the ground. It lowered its head and didn’t move, as if it was sleeping. Under the spider webs around it, there seemed to be many small spiders that were much smaller but were still ten to twenty times larger than ordinary spiders crawling rapidly. The number of small spiders was so large that it seemed impossible to count them all at once.
Shen Shi’s body trembled slightly, and his face revealed a look of astonishment. He whispered, “‘Iron Wolf King Spider’? There is actually such a Tier 4 demonic beast here?”
The giant spider that suddenly appeared in the valley in front of him, with Shen Shi’s previous experience and knowledge, quickly recognized its origin. It was a powerful demonic beast that was shockingly ranked fourth among the demonic beast ranks. There were a total of rank seven demonic beasts. The highest rank seven demonic beasts were even rank six demonic beasts. Legend has it that they were already powerful monsters that could compare to ancient divine beasts. However, it seemed that these ferocious beasts had long disappeared in the Primordial Chaos Realm and were said to have perished in this world. Even if there were occasional rumors that such a high-grade divine-like monster appeared, it would still refer to a desolate desolate land that was rarely visited by humans or even cultivators, so it was simply difficult to confirm.
The most powerful monster that could be seen was a Tier 4 or Tier 5 monster.
Demonic beasts could condense demonic pills at the Third Grade. When they reached the Fourth Grade, they would definitely condense demonic pills of different species. Their strength was much stronger than ordinary demonic beasts. One had to know that demonic pills were similar to Origin Core Realm cultivators of the human race. Many of their basic magical power divine abilities were derived from this magical demonic pill.
It could even be said that demonic beasts with or without demonic cores were actually two completely incomparable species.
Demonic beasts with demonic cores were usually strong enough to crush ordinary Origin Condensation Realm cultivators. Perhaps only Divine Will Realm cultivators could fight. At this moment, the Iron Wolf King Spider that Shen Shi saw was an extremely powerful demonic beast. It must have already formed demonic cores in its body. However, he never imagined that it would actually be seen in this mountain.
Among the human cultivators, Yao Dan was one of the most precious spirit materials, If a mature Fourth Grade or higher demonic beast was discovered, it would attract many cultivators and even some great cultivators to fight for the pills. Thus, over the years, high-grade demonic beasts had long been annihilated in the densely populated region of the human race. Only desolate and remote places could they appear.
Shen Shi withdrew his gaze from the Iron Wolf King Spider and glanced at Little Hei beside him. He smiled bitterly and said,
“Little Hei, this guy below is very powerful. We can’t beat him.”
