Killing God - Chapter 310
Chapter 310 See You Again
The fish blood was red. Even in the seawater, it emitted a rather strong and strange smell of blood. It was precisely because of the smell of the fish blood that it instantly alerted the surrounding sea area. Dozens of black shadows were ready to move. They stared at it like strange killers, causing one’s hair to stand on end.
Shen Shi’s mind raced. He immediately stepped down and immediately floated backwards. Almost as soon as his figure moved, several black shadows had already rushed out from the nearby stone nest and pounced towards the dead fish with incomparable speed. The black shadows quickly attracted the attention of the sea demonic beasts in the distance. For a moment, the black shadows flashed and pounced over from all directions.
Shen Shi’s heart rose to his throat. Even though he still had the Water Arrow Technique to defend himself under the water, he would not be able to deal with so many enemies all of a sudden. Just as he was shocked, he suddenly discovered that the black shadows that were close to him had all flashed past him and rushed towards the dead fish and the ball of fish blood. It was as if that was the thing that attracted them the most.
Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn’t dare to stay. He continued to retreat more than ten zhang. Seeing that it was almost safe, he stopped and turned around to take a closer look. Through the light reflected from the sea above his head, Shen Shi saw that the area was already in a mess. Most of the ferocious black shadows were large fish with different shapes, and a few of them were even exactly the same as the dead fish. It was obvious that they were of the same species.
However, at this moment, many sharp-fanged fish surrounded the dead fish. They did not have the slightest intention of being polite and opened their mouths to desperately bite the dead fish’s body. Blood rippled in the seawater. Many schools of fish were twisting and colliding, causing chaos in the seawater. It was dazzling. Not long after, the huge fish was carved up, leaving no bones left.
Shen Shi watched this scene from afar and took a deep breath in his heart. He thought to himself that the ocean was filled with danger. He didn’t dare to stay there for long, so he turned around and quickly left.
Even though he had just descended to the middle-level sea area when he was threatened, the test of the Silver Sea Anemone Pearl was still there. Naturally, Shen Shi could not retreat, so he continued to carefully search the sea area. However, after learning the lesson from the beginning, Shen Shi’s movements became much more cautious. As he walked on the seabed, he paid great attention to the cracks and caves in the rocks beneath his feet and in the surroundings. Anyone who found traces of demonic beasts in the sea, regardless of their strength, would try their best to bypass them from the side or swim straight up.
As such, Shen Shi did not alert too many Black Shadow Demonic Beasts in the following period of time. However, the underwater world was mysterious and unfathomable. The nests/cracks of some demonic beast fishes were extremely concealed, and it was almost impossible to detect them from their appearances. Therefore, Shen Shi encountered several battles.
Most of the demonic beasts attacking him were low-grade sea beasts. Although it was troublesome in general, Shen Shi managed to deal with them one by one with his Water Arrow Technique, which was more powerful in the sea. Two of the stronger demonic beasts were a bit troublesome. However, after casting a few more spells, Shen Shi managed to defeat them smoothly.
Shen Shi was originally most worried that killing these individual demonic beasts would attract other hidden sea beasts from the surroundings. But apart from the first shocking scene, Although he had no choice but to kill the demonic beasts attacking him in the next few battles, the impact seemed to be much slighter. There were no more large groups of demonic beasts swarming towards him. Sometimes, only one or two sea beasts could smell the stench of blood and snatch food from him. At the very least, not a single one of them could do so.
Shen Shi did not quite understand the reason for this difference. Could it be that there were many demonic beasts in the sea in the sea that had just descended? In that case, he would be unlucky enough to step into the demonic beast nest this time.
He muttered in his heart. At the same time, he paid attention to his surroundings. While guarding against the demonic beasts in the sea, he was also carefully searching for the silver sea anemone. To be exact, he was looking for the silver coral.
Silver coral is a rare species of coral in the sea. Its most famous feature is its silvery-white color. It emits a faint silver light on sunny days. It is very beautiful. In this relatively dim sea area, if there were silver-colored corals, they would be more eye-catching. Thus, although Shen Shi was prepared for the scarcity of such corals in his heart, he did not think that it would be too difficult to find them.
However, as he walked through the middle level of the Coral Sea, an hour had unknowingly passed. In the middle of it, he didn’t even see a single silver coral.
This situation was far beyond Shen Shi’s expectations. Unexpectedly, silver corals were so rare. Shen Shi even suspected that there were no such corals in this sea area. Otherwise, why had he searched such a large area in such a long time? He had only fought against the low-grade sea demonic beasts ten times, but he still hadn’t seen the silvery corals.
Gradually, his heart began to become somewhat anxious. Shen Shi frowned. Even his aura became a little thicker. However, at this moment, perhaps it was a coincidence or as if the heavens sensed his mood. In front of him, beneath a seabed stone wall, a light suddenly flashed in a cave that was more than two feet tall.
Shen Shi saw the light at a glance. His body trembled, and he was immediately overjoyed. This was the first time he had seen something shining in this sea area. Furthermore, the luster was close to a silver-white color.
Without any hesitation, he hurriedly walked towards the cave. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly felt a faint darkness overhead. It was as if a shadow had swept past his head, and at the same time, a stream of water was echoing in the sea.
Shen Shi looked up and said, He was immediately shocked. Above his head, in the seawater that was more than thirty meters tall, A human-shaped figure appeared at some unknown time. He stretched out his hand and slid his feet lightly. There was not the slightest hindrance in the vast sea. There was only one sentence that could be described as swimming like a fish in water. On the back of the figure’s waist, there was a red clam shell that looked like it was born on her body.
Shen Shi was suddenly stunned. This scene in front of him seemed familiar to him. It was as if a certain scene in the depths of his memory had floated again. The girl from the Red Clam Demon race who had laughed with him a few years ago.
At this moment, the swimming woman seemed to have sensed something. She suddenly looked down. Then, she turned around and swam down like an elegant and beautiful fish towards the place where Chen Shi was standing on the seabed.
Bright and gentle light descended from the sky, shining on the surface of the sea and refracting into the water. Beams of light fell from behind her. At that moment, it was as if all the light surrounded her figure, making her look exceptionally bright and beautiful. A string of bubbles floated in the water, shining with rainbow light. Her delicate white palm pushed away the waves of water. Within the light, she gently landed. Above Shen Shi’s head, her face gradually appeared. She was no more than a few feet away from him.
His eyes met and he saw their appearances.
One glance seemed to have passed through several years, and one glance seemed to have seen the youth of the past.
She was still vaguely familiar with the outline. A trace of astonishment appeared on her beautiful face. Then, she suddenly laughed out loud. With surprise and sincere joy, she opened her mouth and said,
“Stone?”
The voice was somewhat deep, accompanied by a strange buzzing feeling. It should be caused by the seawater beside the two of them. However, for some unknown reason, she was actually able to speak in the water. However, at this moment, Shen Shi was similarly overjoyed. He laughed out loud and said,
“Hai Xing?”
After saying that, he was shocked, but he immediately discovered that he could actually speak underwater with the water repellent spell. This action obviously shocked Starfish. She carefully looked at Shen Shi, and then reached out her hand to gently touch his chest.
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment. He did not evade. Sure enough, Hai Xing did not have any malicious intentions. He only pressed down on his chest with some curiosity. Afterwards, he seemed to understand something. He smiled and said, “So you learned the Water Rejection Technique.”
Shen Shi was stunned and asked curiously, “How did you know this?”
Starfish slowly descended to the bottom of the sea and stood in front of him. It had been several years since she had seen him. The demon girl from back then had already grown up and had a tall and picturesque figure. If it weren’t for the red clam shell on her back, she would have been a stunning beauty in the human race. She smiled and said, “Of course I know. This spell was passed down from our ancestors.”
Shen Shi was stunned. He couldn’t react for a moment. Didn’t Demon race never know the Five Elements Technique? However, he immediately remembered that when he cultivated the Water Rejection Technique that day, he really felt that this technique was somewhat different from the ordinary Five Elements Technique. It was even unable to be categorized into any of the five elements of the Golden Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Elements. Perhaps this was also the reason?
Shen Shi was just about to ask Hai Xing about the origin of this water repellency technique, At the same time, why did he learn from Elder Pu? Hai Xing seemed to be very happy to meet Shen Shi in the Coral Sea in a few years. He floated around him like a fish and smiled, “Shi Shi, are you tall? By the way, what are you doing in the Coral Sea?”
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly told Hai Xing about his search for the Silver Sea Anemone Pearl and its background. Then, he looked at the beautiful Demon race girl with some expectation and said, “Hai Xing, do you know where there is a Silver Sea Anemone in this sea area?”
Hai Xing laughed. The light in the sea landed on her face as if it had turned into tender crystals. Then she nodded and smiled, “I’ll take you there.”
Shen Shi was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded. Suddenly, he remembered that there was a flash of light in the nearby cave he had just seen. He hurriedly pulled Hai Xing, who was about to turn around, and pointed at the cave. Just as he was about to speak, Hai Xing laughed out loud and shook his head.
“Ah!” Shen Shi said, “Isn’t that right? I saw a light just now.”
Hai Xing casually picked up a small rock from the ground and threw it into the cave. When the rock had just smashed into the cave/door, a bright light suddenly flashed. Seven or eight gray antennae suddenly rushed out, grabbed the rock, and then quickly retracted back.
Shen Shi was shocked, and then he heard Hai Xing beside him say, “That’s a lighting octopus.”
Shen Shi was silent and somewhat embarrassed. However, a moment later, he suddenly felt a hand stretch out and grabbed his right hand. Then, a wave of water suddenly surged up. It was Hai Xing who held his arm and swam into the sea. Then, the bright and beautiful red clam shell behind him opened and closed, and the two of them immediately rushed out.
“Let’s go …”
Her laughter echoed in the water, like an extremely beautiful elf in the water, innocent and beautiful, just like back then.
