Killing God - Chapter 389

Chapter 389 Fruit Petals

In the shadows of darkness, there was a faint breathing sound

It was as if there was a faint heartbeat.

Her body quieted down, standing in front of him no longer trembling, her soft lips pressed against his palm, a strange gentle feeling quietly came. In the shadows, the horrible roar of the beasts in front of them seemed to have suddenly become far away.

A faint fragrance came from her body. Shen Shi was absent-minded for a moment. Then, he woke up and lowered his voice to the minimum. He whispered in her ear,

“Are you feeling better?”

Zhong Qingzhu did not say anything, but nodded gently. Shen Shi immediately discovered that his hand was still covering her mouth and he hurriedly released it. However, for some reason, he suddenly felt that this action was somewhat familiar. When he met those Beast Alliance cultivators who were chasing him back in Floating Cloud City, he dragged her to the side in order to save her. It seemed that he had done the same thing.

In his mind, Ling Chunni’s charming smile flashed by. After a moment of silence, Shen Shi took a step back slightly, a little further away from Zhong Qingzhu’s body.

Zhong Qingzhu turned around and looked at Shen Shi. In the darkness, the man’s face was somewhat hazy and blurry in the shadows. Whether it was his current expression or the change in his gaze, it made people unable to see clearly. However, the aura of his body and the firm embrace not long ago seemed as if the gentle leaning was still in their hearts.

She lowered her head slightly. Suddenly, she felt a burst of unexplained heat on her cheeks. Her heart was lost and she suddenly felt a little happy. However, after a while, she still managed to calm down and hide all her thoughts. She said softly,

“I’m fine now … Thank you very much.”

“Yes.”

In the shadows ahead, Shen Shi responded in a low voice. However, he didn’t say anything more, causing Zhong Qingzhu to be slightly disappointed. However, she quickly threw away this loss and said, “Stone, there are so many high-grade demonic beasts here. We definitely can’t beat them. What should we do?”

Shen Shi glanced at the light in the middle of the cave. The warriors roared and confronted each other, Looking at the numerous high-grade demonic beasts that seemed to be on the verge of a great battle, he was also dumbfounded. However, he had witnessed many life and death trials over the years. He still maintained a bit of rationality and calmness. After pondering for a moment, he pulled Zhong Qingzhu back a few steps and stuck to the stone wall of the cave behind him, trying to stay as far away from those demonic beasts as possible.

“Set up a Void Illusion Formation here first.” Shen Shi whispered, “These high-grade demonic beasts don’t seem to have noticed us for the time being. However, with so many demonic beasts, there might be sensitive mutants among them. Let’s first use the Void Illusion Formation to conceal our tracks and see what the situation is like.”

Zhong Qingzhu nodded, seeming to have no objection. After that, she first glanced at the distant demonic beasts and confirmed that none of them had noticed the movement beside the cave under the extremely tense confrontation over there. Then, she stretched out her hand and began to retrieve things from the Ruyi bag on her waist.

At the edge of the cave, it was already very difficult for the light to shine. It was almost pitch black, so even though Shen Shi was standing very close to Zhong Qingzhu, he could not clearly see what she was taking out. However, it should be all kinds of magical objects and array discs needed to set up the array.

After taking out these magical items, Zhong Qingzhu took a deep breath in the darkness. Then, he waved his arm and Yang Zhen began to shake. Unknown artifacts silently flew out from her hand and landed. The distance between them was different, forming an irregular circle around their bodies.

After throwing out eleven or twelve artifacts, Zhong Qingzhu paused for a moment, then took a step back. Together with Shen Shi, they were close to the somewhat cold stone wall. In her hand, a candle-like light flashed through the shadows and then disappeared.

Everything seemed to have not changed.

The darkness was still there, and the shadows were dim. It looked even more gloomy than before. However, the two figures that were originally faintly visible suddenly disappeared, as if nothing had been left behind.

It was as if the darkness in the depths of the shadows had suddenly become somewhat thicker, and there was nothing else.

Amidst the roar, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion, surrounded by many high-grade demonic beasts, suddenly turned around and looked in a certain direction in the cave as if it had sensed something after roaring fiercely and angrily.

However, the pressure from the numerous powerful demonic beasts in front of him seemed to be extremely great. Thus, after a moment, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion moved away from its strange compound eyes and returned to the depths of the light. It roared and threatened again in front of it.

④

After the Void Illusion Formation was completed, Shen Shi suddenly felt a faint Spiritual Energy pervading not far away from him, separating him from the surrounding darkness. However, at first glance, the surrounding darkness still seemed to be one, and there was not the slightest change.

Xiao Hei, who was standing at his feet, seemed to be a little uneasy. Shen Shi snorted a few times and quickly comforted it. However, Zhu Qingzhu stood beside him and said, “The formation is complete. As long as the demonic beasts over there are not too close, or if we make too much noise here, and if we are in this dark shadow, our movements are even more secret, we should not be able to discover us.”

Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked around. He felt the faint Spiritual Energy Formation. He smiled and said, “The Dao of the Formation is indeed mysterious and mysterious.”

Zhong Qingzhu glanced at him in the darkness and said, “I’m just peeking at the path of the door. The formations are difficult and there will be many great formations in the future. I heard that many of the ancestors of the sect are immersed in this white-headed poor scripture. In the end, not many people really learned the Dao.”

Shen Shi said, “You are so smart and talented. You will definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future.”

Zhong Qingzhu was silent. His eyes were clear and clear as he looked at his face, which was somewhat blurry because of the darkness. However, at this moment, a strange voice that was somewhat out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere suddenly came from the side of the herd in the distance, amidst a burst of furious roars and confrontations.

“Pa!”

It was a crisp and resounding sound, as if something had suddenly cracked open.

All of the demonic beasts, including Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu, who were hiding in the dark shadows at the edge of the cave, instantly turned their heads to look.

The voice came from the brightest part of the light.

Under the pillar of light, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion was tightly guarding the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit.

On the stem of the emerald-green leaf, the only red fruit on the top was wrapped in five purple petals. At this moment, one of the petals suddenly loosened, exploded, and spread outwards.

As the purple petals split apart, An extremely strong fragrance instantly spread out and floated in every corner of the cave. Even though Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were standing so far away from the edge of the cave, they could still clearly smell the strange fragrance. Furthermore, when the fragrance entered their noses, they felt refreshed and refreshed.

They looked at each other in horror. In the center of the cave in the distance, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion’s body clearly trembled. However, the one with the greatest reaction was the high-grade demonic beast surrounded by the bright pillar of light.

“Roar …”

In an instant, the nearly twenty high-grade demonic beasts in the surroundings seemed to have been greatly stimulated. They roared out in unison. That aura was like mountains and seas, and it was like a sea of blood. It swept through the interior and exterior of the cave. It was so powerful that both Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu felt a burst of chest tightness subconsciously.

Along with these roars, the already tense atmosphere in the cave suddenly tensed up. From almost all directions, ferocious and robust high-grade demonic beasts began to move towards the pillar of light and approach.

Thanks to the bright pillars of light that descended from the sky in the cave, the blurry figures that were originally hovering in the surroundings gradually became clearer. Shen Shi looked from afar. His expression became even uglier. The demonic beasts that appeared over there were indeed similar to what he had expected. They were almost all Tier 4 demonic beasts of Qing Yishui, Dark Wind Wolves, Profound Armored Beasts, Yuan Shattering Laziness, and even rarer Green Thunder Lion Kings. They were all high-tier demonic beasts with powerful combat strength. There were even a few strange-looking demonic beasts that didn’t even recognize Shen Shi.

Looking at the large number of high-grade demonic beasts roaring from afar, even though they were far away, the corner of Shen Shi’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch. A chill arose from behind him. In the face of such a formation, not to mention an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator like him, even a Divine Concept expert would have to flee. Perhaps only an Origin Core Realm Dao Art expert would have the power to fight.

From afar, his scalp felt numb. The Iron-winged Black Scorpion that was the first to bear the brunt, lying in the pillar of light guarding the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit, was even more unaware of the pressure it was under at this moment.

The Iron-winged Black Scorpion seemed to have fallen into a rage as it watched the roars of its surroundings rise and fall. Many demonic beasts seemed to finally be unable to endure the situation. It began to slowly advance from all directions. A shrill howl suddenly sounded, as if it intended to intimidate the beasts once again.

However, under the enticement of the strange fragrance emitted from the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit, the demonic beasts that were originally intimidated by the might of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion seemed to have been stimulated by the savagery in the depths of their bloodline. They did not concede as they did before. Instead, they kept on probing and approaching, looking somewhat unable to endure it.

Moments later, a Dark Wind Wolf with a body as tall as a dozen feet and a body as hard as steel behind the Iron Winged Black Scorpion finally couldn’t hold back the desire in its heart. It roared angrily and was the first to soar into the sky and pounce towards the Iron Winged Black Scorpion.

The surrounding beasts were in a commotion. Their auras seemed to ignite instantly. It was as if a ball of flame had been poured into a bucket of boiling oil. In an instant, roars rang out in all directions. It was as if a chaotic battle was about to erupt. Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream pierced through all of the space. The enormous Iron-winged Black Scorpion turned around with a thunderous roar. The giant scorpion tail that had been curled up behind its body suddenly straightened up and pierced straight into the air like lightning.

The Dark Wind Wolf’s roar instantly turned into a mournful cry, filled with despair. Its body seemed to still want to rotate in midair. However, the scorpion tail was like a ghost chasing after its soul. Lightning and flint suddenly pierced through the Dark Wind Wolf’s copper-skinned iron bones, leaving nothing behind. With a muffled bang, the huge body of the beast was forcefully pierced through by the scorpion tail.

Terrifying and shrill cries of despair echoed throughout the cave, causing one’s hair to stand on end. The excited beasts in the surroundings also abruptly stopped in their tracks.

With a “pa pa pa” sound, the scorpion tail slowly retracted.

The Dark Wind Wolf, whose body had been pierced through, fell heavily to the ground and kept twitching. At the same time, the wounds of the Fourth Grade Demonic Beast began to rapidly turn black and rot. Puddles of yellowish blood flowed out from its flesh and blood. Not long after, the wolf’s head fell and it actually died.

At this moment, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion looked like a god in this cave. It was terrifying and incomparably powerful. Its cold compound eyes coldly swept across the surrounding demonic beasts, and its mouth emitted an ear-piercing scream. However, for some unknown reason, Shen Shi suddenly had a strange feeling. It seemed that the body of the most powerful Class 5 demonic beast was slightly weaker than before.
