Killing God - Chapter 38
Chapter 38 Slaughter
The old man from the Red Clam Clan smiled heartily. Under the gaze of many youths, he bent down and lifted the lid of a bamboo cage. He reached in and grabbed it directly. When he came out again, a green prawn about the size of a child’s arm had already appeared in his hand.
The surrounding youths immediately cried out in alarm, Such a huge shrimp, For the first time in their lives, Especially when this shrimp looks different, Not to mention its enormous size, the skull was also extremely strange. It looked like a fanged and fierce ghost face. In addition, it was incomparably lively. Shrimp claws and shrimp legs struggled and danced with all their might. The sharp and ear-piercing “squeaky” sounds in their mouths were even more savage. Some of the timid teenagers didn’t even dare to look at it.
The old man smiled and turned to look at the shrimp in his hand. “This thing is called the Ghost-Faced Shrimp. All you have to do is slaughter the shrimp and peel it to get meat,” he said. As he spoke, he casually picked up a bright blade hanging by the side of the bamboo cage, seemingly wanting to demonstrate it in front of many teenagers. However, the old man seemed to have thought of something and glanced at the ghost-faced shrimp in his hand, a trace of disgust flashing across his face.
She rolled her eyes. The two clam shells on the old man’s body also seemed to flap twice. The old man put down the knife in his hand and casually tossed it backwards. An adult red clam man standing behind him subconsciously caught it. He did not know what it meant and was just about to ask when he saw the village chief of the red clam stuffing the ghost-faced shrimp into his hand with a smile. At the same time, he said,
“Sea urchin, kill this Ghost-Faced Shrimp and let everyone from the High Firmament Sect see what to do!”
The red clam clansman named sea urchin had a bitter expression on his face. Just as he was about to refuse, the village chief glared at him and angrily said, “You’re not going to kill him, are you?”
“I’ll kill, I’ll kill,” the sea urchin said with a sad face.
After saying that, the sea urchin took a few dejected steps forward and squatted down on the ground in front of the group of youths. Then, it shouted loudly, “Everyone, look clearly. I will only do it this time, only this time!”
With that, he threw the Ghost-Faced Shrimp onto the ground and stepped on it with one foot. Although the legs of the Ghost-Faced Shrimp struggled desperately, it was still unable to move after being stepped on by the sea urchin, exposing its entire abdomen. The sea urchin raised the sharp knife with a frown and said, “This Ghost-Faced Shrimp’s shell is hard and cannot be opened from its back. All you have to do is kill this thing first …” Before he could finish speaking, his hand raised the knife and the sharp and bright blade seemed to cut through a dazzling light in mid-air and pierced directly into the neck of the Ghost-Faced Shrimp.
“Ah!” A few soft screams, From the crowd of teenagers, The Ghost-Faced Shrimp let out a shrill, dying howl with a hint of fear. Blood splattered everywhere in an instant. The amount of blood was so abundant that it was spilled everywhere. Even the sea urchin was stained with a lot of blood. What was even stranger was that the blood color of the Ghost-Faced Shrimp was actually blue.
Half of the sea urchin’s body was stained with blue blood. It looked as if his face was about to die. However, the movements of his hands did not stop. He pulled out his knife with a face full of misfortune and continued,
“Kill this Ghost-Faced Shrimp first, and it won’t struggle around. Then watch carefully. There’s a small crack at the edge of the hard shell below its abdomen …” He angrily turned the blade, It directly stabbed into the abdomen of the Ghost-Faced Shrimp. Instantly, waves of blue dirty blood sprayed out from the shrimp. Then, it slowly cut through the cracks. Soon, the shrimp shell was peeled open, revealing the white and tender shrimp meat inside.
Only at this moment did the sea urchin’s complexion improve. It seemed that this white and tender shrimp meat had healed his mood quite a bit. He threw down the saber handle in his hand and peeled off the shrimp shell. He grabbed the white and tender shrimp meat with his hand and pulled it hard. He immediately took out the shrimp meat and stood up to show it to the youths, saying, “This is what we want.”
After saying that, the sea urchin lowered its head bitterly and looked at its own blue and stained blood appearance. It sighed and retreated back. When it passed by the village chief of the red clam, it looked even more worried as if its parents had died.
The Village Chief of the Red Clam Village could not see, He laughed, As if nothing had happened, She also took the shrimp meat from the sea urchin, “Everyone, take a good look. We have the simplest shrimp here. All you need to do is take out a hundred pieces of such shrimp meat and give it to ‘Hai Xing’.” He pointed at the shy red clam girl standing behind him and smiled. “A hundred pieces of shrimp meat can be exchanged for a spirit crystal. This deal is worth it!”

“Vomit!”
Suddenly, a strange voice came from the crowd. Everyone turned their heads and saw a young girl with a pale face. She bent down and ran to the side to retch. It was He Xiaomei.
Shen Shi, Sun You, and Jiang Hongguang were all shocked. Although the scene of the Red Mussels killing shrimp was a bit bloody just now, He Xiaomei’s reaction was so intense that it was beyond the expectations of the three youths.
Just as they were about to console him, they heard that the surroundings seemed to be contagious. At that moment, a few girls looked similar to He Xiaomei and began to feel nauseous.
It didn’t seem like a big deal for a person to overreact, but the crowd’s appearance immediately made the atmosphere a little strange. Some teenagers who didn’t seem to have any reaction at all now had ugly expressions. Looking at the pool of blue stained blood and the remains of the Ghost-Faced Shrimp that had been thrown aside, they seemed to have a creepy smell.
He Xiaomei retched for a while, but she didn’t really spit anything out. However, her face was pale to the point of being frightening. She gasped for breath for a long time and bitterly smiled at Shen Shi and the others around her. “No, I can’t. I was afraid of these things when I was young. I can’t take it anymore. It’s better to go back to White Crane Hall and take a look at the other missions.”
Without waiting for Shen Shi and the others to react, he quickly walked out of the village.
Shen Shi and the others looked at each other. Jiang Hongguang hesitated for a moment, then looked at He Xiaomei’s back, who had already arrived at the entrance of the village, and said, “I don’t think this mission is too good. I’ll go first.”
After saying that, He Xiaomei also left this place quickly. Seeing that his back figure had caught up to He Xiaomei and was walking side by side with her, he had a look of concern on his face. He Xiaomei seemed to be comforting her. He Xiaomei looked at him and nodded casually, as if she had not recovered from the stimulation just now.
Young friend Sun looked at Shen Shi and said, “Shen Shi, what do you say?”
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment. His gaze swept across the pool of dirty blood on the ground. After a moment of silence, he said softly, “I want to see it again.”
Sun You was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he was a little surprised by Shen Shi’s choice. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded and said, “Then I’ll accompany you to take a look. Anyway, there’s no good mission for you to return to White Crane Hall now.”
Shen Shi nodded and turned to the side.
The dozen or so youths who were originally gathered here looked a little unnatural after the bloody scene of slaughtering shrimp and harvesting meat. Their curiosity and confidence had lessened a lot. After a while, a few girls in the crowd turned around and left first. Then, five or six boys seemed to be uncomfortable with this kind of thing. After discussing it together for a while, they gradually left the village.
Seeing the teenagers quietly walk away one after another, the faces of the Red Clam clansmen standing under the altar that worshipped the strange sea beast statue turned ugly. The old village chief’s face gradually stopped smiling.
Right now, there were only five teenagers left, including Shen Shi and Sun You. Shen Shi looked to the side and was suddenly stunned. Not far away, he saw a familiar face. It was surprisingly Hou Sheng who had clashed with him the day he entered the sect.
Little fatty Hou Sheng clearly saw Shen Shi standing there as well. At first, he was surprised, but then he glared at him angrily. It seemed that his dissatisfaction with Shen Shi had not lessened in the slightest.
Shen Shi snorted. He turned around and didn’t look at him. He felt that it was meaningless in his heart.
The head of the Red Clam Village saw that there were still five teenagers left in the end. He did not intend to leave immediately. His expression immediately relaxed as if he had let out a long sigh. He hurriedly walked over with a smile and said, “Little friends, you are indeed wise people. This job is not really difficult. You really can’t find a second thing on Blue Fish Island that is so easy to earn spirit crystals. Believe me …”
Before he could finish his words, someone seemed to be unable to bear it. Suddenly, a figure flashed past and jumped into the sea. Then, he struggled desperately in the water to wash the blue stained blood on his body. At the same time, he complained loudly without any hesitation,
“It stinks, it stinks, it stinks …”
The red clam old man’s smile stiffened, and then he laughed loudly. He waved his hand as if nothing had happened. Then, he stretched out a finger to attract the five youths’ gazes again. He chuckled and said, “A hundred pieces of shrimp meat will be exchanged for a spirit crystal!”
“Pa pa pa pa pa …”
The five large bamboo cages were moved out of nowhere by the Red Mussels. On the beach, There was also a sharp shrimp slaying knife hanging beside each bamboo cage, After that, the Red Mussels dispersed. Only the girl named Hai Xing stayed behind. However, it was clear that she hated Ghost-Faced Shrimp very much. Although she stayed, she was still standing far away from the five cages of Ghost-Faced Shrimp. The bright red shell of the clam flapped slightly on her waist, causing her cheeks to be extremely charming.
The five youths looked at each other and slowly walked to the beach. One of them stood in front of a cage of Ghost-Faced Shrimp. The sound of the tides in the sea and the sound of the bamboo cage could not help but make one’s heart tremble.
For a time, the five of them did not squat down to catch the ghost-faced shrimp in the bamboo cage. After a long time, it seemed that the little fatty Hou Sheng was the bravest. He gritted his teeth and suddenly lifted the lid of the bamboo cage. He reached out to catch the shrimp. Unexpectedly, not long after he reached in, he heard him scream miserably,
“Aiya!”
The youths beside him were all shocked. They saw Hou Sheng jump and flee. As he waved his arm, a Ghost-Faced Shrimp’s shrimp claw grabbed his finger. It really hurt a lot.
The red clam girl behind him, Hai Xing, looked shocked. She hurriedly ran over and said, “Be careful. Catch the back shell of the Ghost-Faced Shrimp, so that it won’t catch her …”
Hou Sheng shook off the Ghost-Faced Shrimp with great difficulty. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “Then you should have said it earlier!”
Hai Xing blushed. He lowered his head and whispered, “I, I didn’t expect that you wouldn’t understand …”
The youths rolled their eyes. When Hou Sheng looked at the ghost-faced shrimp again, He couldn’t help but feel a little scared, But at this moment, Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from the side. Everyone turned around and saw Shen Shi standing at the side of a bamboo cage. He had already grabbed a Ghost-Faced Shrimp from the bamboo cage. The shrimp’s leg was waving in front of him desperately. Its face looked extremely ferocious and horrifying. At the same time, it let out an extremely shrill scream.
Young Friend Sun felt a little flustered when he saw this. Just as he was thinking about whether he should go back and tell Shen Shi that he didn’t want it anymore, he decided to go back and change his mission. However, he suddenly felt that Shen Shi’s gaze suddenly became a little strange at this moment.
The friend he had only known for a few days had an unexpectedly calm expression on his face. He looked calmly at the Ghost-Faced Shrimp in front of him, but for some reason, the Ghost-Faced Shrimp suddenly struggled even more violently, dancing and screaming as if it was about to penetrate into a person’s bones.
A moment later, Under the gaze of a few youths, Shen Shi suddenly threw the Ghost-Faced Shrimp to the ground. Just like what the sea urchin had done before, he stepped on it. He expressionlessly raised the blade in his hand and raised it. The bright saber light flashed through the air like a reflection of the youth’s face. With a “pu” sound, it directly pierced into the neck of the Ghost-Faced Shrimp.
“Hiss …”
A sharp scream rang out as large clumps of blue dirty blood sprayed out in an instant. It cracked like a tidal wave in midair, splashing onto Shen Shi’s face, causing a bloody aura to immediately permeate the surroundings.
