Killing God - Chapter 387
Chapter 387 Warning
Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu stopped at the same time. They looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other’s eyes. Shen Shi was stunned, “This voice … Could it be that Iron Winged Black Scorpion?”
Zhong Qingzhu frowned and pondered for a moment. His expression became somewhat ugly. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, “Probably not.”
If it wasn’t the Iron-winged Black Scorpion, then at least another demonic beast had entered the hidden cave. Furthermore, just from the low roar of the demonic beast, it was likely that the demonic beast’s grade would not be too low. Perhaps it would at least be a demonic beast above rank four.
Shen Shi looked in the direction of the cave and saw that there were trees and ancient vines everywhere around the cave. It was so natural that he could hardly see any traces of the cave entrance. If it wasn’t for Zhong Qingzhu’s familiarity, it would have been difficult for him to discover it even if he had passed by nearby. Previously, Zhong Qingzhu had clearly explained the situation here. Because of the existence of the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit and the Iron-winged Black Scorpion, there were no other spiritual herbs or demonic beasts around this cave.
There were no spiritual herbs growing near the cave. Most likely, it was because the precious and rare Tier 6 spiritual herbs, Heaven and Vermillion Fruits, were born with good fortune and absorbed all the spiritual energy of the earth veins within a hundred feet of the cave. As a result, the other spiritual herbs were unable to grow at all. As for the demonic beasts that didn’t dare to approach, it was naturally the incomparably tyrannical power of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion. The strength of a Tier 5 demonic beast was enough to become the overlord of one side.
However, it was clear that other demonic beasts had entered the cave. So, what had happened in the cave during Zhong Qingzhu’s absence?
“Could it be that the Iron-winged Black Scorpion has died from serious injuries? That’s why the other demonic beasts dared to enter the cave?” Shen Shi couldn’t help but ask Zhong Qingzhu in a low voice.
Zhong Qingzhu’s body trembled as well. A green aura flashed across his face. If that was the case, then the two treasures that had come over this time would probably be in danger. The Heavenly Vermillion Fruit would naturally be eaten by other demonic beasts. As a Tier 5 demonic beast, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion was naturally extremely ferocious in front of it. However, whether it was its demonic core or body, it was a great nourishment to other demonic beasts after its death, and it was unlikely that it would escape the beast’s kiss.
However, after pondering for a moment, Shen Shi shook his head and said, “Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be. According to what you said before, even though the Iron-winged Black Scorpion is seriously injured, it still stays close to the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit. This means that the Tier 6 Spirit Herb will definitely be of great benefit to it.” The reason why we didn’t swallow it immediately must be because of something we don’t know. However, if the Iron-winged Black Scorpion really encounters a critical moment of life and death, I think it will definitely not leave this spiritual medicine empty and remain indifferent. And if it eats the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit, with the peerless medicinal power of this Tier 6 Spirit Herb, it might even be able to upgrade it to a higher rank, then it will definitely not die. “So …” He paused for a moment and said to Zhong Qingzhu, “In my opinion, most likely, the Vermillion Fruit and the Iron Winged Black Scorpion were still in the cave that day. However, something must have happened in this cave, so it attracted other demonic beasts to peep into the cave.”
Zhong Qingzhu’s expression slowed down slightly. It seemed that she valued the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit and the Iron Winged Black Scorpion very much in her heart. Hearing this, she pondered for a moment before raising her head to look at Shen Shi. There was a hint of inquiry in her eyes. She said softly, “Shi Shi, do you think we should go in next?”
Shen Shi remained silent for a long time. Judging from the current situation, there must have been other high-grade demonic beasts entering this secret cave. Furthermore, the number and types of demonic beasts were unknown. However, there was no doubt that this cave was much more dangerous than previously thought.
With his cautious temperament, he was hesitant to rashly enter the cave before he could figure out the situation. However, when he looked up and saw Zhong Qingzhu’s expression, he sighed in his heart and said, “Do you want to enter?”
Zhong Qingzhu seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then he gritted his teeth and said, “Stone, everything in this cave is a peerless treasure that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Even if an Origin Core Realm Daoist sees it, he will definitely make a move. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great opportunity.” “We’ve cultivated for many years, so it’s hard to say whether we’ll have another chance like this in the future. I … want to go in.”
When she said the last few words, her face was slightly pale, but her expression was firm and resolute. She did not seem to have the slightest intention of wavering. After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Shen Shi’s face, and her eyes revealed a trace of longing and expectation.
Shen Shi was silent for a while. After a while, he seemed to want to say something. However, facing Zhong Qingzhu’s gaze, the corner of his mouth twitched. He wanted to say something but was hesitant. Then, he nodded and his expression calmed down. He said,
“Alright, let’s go together.”
Zhong Qingzhu seemed to be stunned for a moment. Although this seemed to be an answer that she longed for in her heart, when she truly heard what Shen Shi said, she still seemed to be greatly shocked in her heart.
Should we go together …
No matter how dangerous it was, life and death were uncertain.
Are we going together like this?
The mountain breeze blew through the forest. The branches and leaves swayed gently. Under the shadow of the green vines, the familiar man walked over and stood beside him.
The wind blew past the hair on his temples, causing him to feel a slight chill. Perhaps it was a little itchy, deep in the corner of his eyes.
She suddenly looked up at the sky.
Take a deep breath.
Let the sudden excitement and rapid heartbeat quietly calm down a bit, let oneself never be impulsive, don’t be like a silly girl’s eyes like moist.
He stood beside him, within reach of his tentacles. At this moment, that figure looked so generous, as if he hadn’t left for many years. In a trance, it was as if he had returned to the Immortal Worshipping Rock back then, and it was as if he was in that infinite darkness underground ice-cold cave.
Will there be a trace of warmth when he is around?
She lowered her head slowly and stared deeply at him. Her gaze seemed to be filled with tenderness, and she was silent and deep in this lonely and empty mountain.
In his gaze, he only saw the man turn his head and smile at her warmly. He said,
“Alright, let’s go?”
“Yes.” She agreed in a low voice.

“Apart from the formations that I originally wanted to use to deal with the Iron Winged Black Scorpion, I will also set up an Illusory Formation. “This formation itself does not have the ability to attack or defend, but it can disturb the perceptual gazes of other humans or demonic beasts around us. As long as the difference in cultivation realms is not too great or there are other special treasures, and we intentionally conceal our aura and are separated by a certain distance, we should not be discovered.”
As the two made up their minds to start carefully groping their way to the cave, Zhong Qingzhu whispered to Shen Shi, After hearing this, Shen Shi nodded slightly. He had heard of the Void Illusion Formation before, It was said that it was a very difficult formation in the Dao of Arrays. Because it had no offensive or defensive effects, it could only conceal its movements under limited conditions. Furthermore, there were also many restrictions. For example, the formation was fixed somewhere and could not be moved. It was easy for people with extremely high cultivation realms to discover it. There were also some sensitive and special magic treasures that were easy to target. Therefore, there were not many people who had cultivated it.
However, he didn’t expect that Zhong Qingzhu would actually learn this formation. On the other hand, Shen Shi was slightly impressed by her. With his rich experience, he naturally knew that some ordinary things would actually exert great effects at certain times. For example, he had once learned an ordinary Tier 1 spell that looked like a chicken rib-the Fire Barrier Spell. In the Ancient Dragon Palace of Gaoling Mountain Town, when thousands of ghosts were crazily chasing after him and Little Hei in the narrow passageway, if it weren’t for the fact that this spell had constantly delayed the ghost’s footsteps, he would have long since become a ghost spirit under Soul Suppressing Abyss.
Similarly, there was also the Wind Bending Technique. Similarly, it did not have the ability to attack or defend. However, at certain times, the effect of the Wind Bending Technique was unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi thought of a few scenarios in his heart. Of course, the situation in the cave was still unknown and it was hard to say anything. However, Shen Shi still felt a little more confident. He turned around and smiled at Zhong Qingzhu before nodding.
Zhong Qingzhu met his gaze and did not say anything. His expression was also calm, only a pair of clear eyes filled with clear eyes like water.
Not long after, the two of them arrived outside the cave.
After carefully observing the surroundings of the cave entrance and confirming that there were no hidden demonic beasts around, their gazes landed on the cave entrance. He pulled open a few thick vines that had fallen from the towering trees. Looking at the entrance of the cave, which was as tall as two people, the light could only find the outermost part of the cave, and the deeper part was a gloomy patch of darkness.
Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu exchanged a glance. A moment later, Zhong Qingzhu nodded gently, his expression resolute without the slightest hesitation.
Shen Shi turned around and pondered for a moment, but he first picked up Little Hei and whispered to him, “Little Hei, this cave may be very dangerous. Don’t run around with us later, even if you … hmm, smell some spiritual herb fragrance. Do you understand?”
Little Hei looked up at Shen Shi, tilted his head and thought for a moment before nodding his head.
“Apart from that,” Shen Shi continued to say to it, “your nose spirit, walk in front of us. If you find any demonic beasts blocking your way, quickly tell me.”
Little Hei snorted twice. He didn’t seem nervous, at least it was much easier than the two people beside him.
Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Zhong Qingzhu and said, “Then let’s go in.”
Zhong Qingzhu took a deep breath and said, “Alright.”
The green vines rose and fell again. The two figures relaxed their footsteps and slowly stepped into this mysterious and unknown cave. In front of them, Little Hei’s figure was the first to sink into the darkness.
…
“Hmph hmph hmph!”
When the vines at the entrance of the cave were still swaying, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu’s figures had just stepped into the darkness, and they felt that only a moment had passed. In this deserted mountain forest, the entrance of the cave suddenly remembered Little Hei’s sudden and hurried snort.
