Killing God - Chapter 393

Chapter 393 Flesh And Blood

The dust was flying, causing everything in the cave to appear somewhat blurry and unreal. Even the bright pillar of light that descended from the sky seemed to be somewhat dim at this moment. The huge hole that had suddenly collapsed was still standing there, like a terrifying mouth, devouring the numerous powerful demonic beasts not long ago.

Everything quieted down.

It was as if the bloody scene not long ago was just an illusion, but the existence of the big hole was still a cold and heartless reminder to the rest that if this was a dream, then the dream would not have awakened.

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu stood at the edge of the cave and waited for a long time. Even though the cave had fallen back into silence, no one could guarantee that there would be any unpredictable dangers in the vicinity of the cave. After all, not long ago, there was an earth-shattering scuffle in the cave.

However, after waiting for a long time, the floating dust began to gradually calm down. After the light in the cave turned bright, apart from the sound of a few remaining stones falling, everything remained silent.

The ferocious demonic beasts, the Iron Winged Black Scorpion that was about to advance to an incomparably powerful level, were fighting for it with a bloody madness as if they had suddenly solidified and disappeared from this cave.

Shen Shi took a deep breath and took a step forward.

Only then did he move. A stone not far from his feet was suddenly pushed away. The Little Hei Pig, who was hiding safely below, poked its head out and looked around. It looked as if it was relieved. Then, it jumped to Shen Shi’s feet. Beside Shen Shi, Zhong Qingzhu also noticed his actions. His expression changed slightly and he said, “Do you want to go over?”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “No matter what, we have to see what exactly happened over there. What is the situation now?”

Zhong Qingzhu remained silent for a moment and said, “Then let’s go together.”

Shen Shi glanced at her, smiled slightly, and then walked forward.

They didn’t walk very fast, and they were very careful. The ground was filled with cracks and rocks along the way. It was as if an astonishing earthquake had just occurred. The further they walked, the denser the unusually strong medicinal fragrance in the air became. However, as the entrance of the cave approached, the two of them gradually smelled a different aura.

It was the smell of blood, the smell of blood.

Seeing that he was about to reach the collapsed cave, Shen Shi suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He lowered his head and looked at the Little Hei pig at his feet, a hint of hesitation and doubt flashing through his eyes. For some reason, Little Hei, who had always been very sensitive and obsessed with the aura of spiritual herbs, had obviously had a peerless sixth grade spiritual herb, Heavenly Vermillion Fruit, after arriving at this cave. However, Little Hei’s performance had always been very calm, and even … seemed to be somewhat indifferent to that spiritual herb.

Was it because the demonic beasts guarding the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit were too powerful, or was Xiao Hei not interested in spiritual herbs like the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit?

As his mind rotated, Shen Shi frowned slightly. However, in the next moment, his footsteps had already stepped on the edge of the collapsing pit, and this sudden thought was immediately thrown aside.

Because at that moment, Zhong Qingzhu and he both trembled slightly and were shocked by the scene in the pit.

It was a large, irregular pit. The bottom of the pit was about 40 feet high from the ground of the cave, making it look very deep. At this moment, under the illumination of the pillar of light falling from the sky, what was displayed in front of Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu was a bloody and cruel scene that resembled the legendary hell of the Yellow Springs.

Blood and flesh splashed everywhere below the pit. There were practically no more intact corpses of demonic beasts. All of the flesh and blood seemed to have been shattered by a crazy force. It was as if a devil had descended upon them, cruelly killing all of their lives. Hands, limbs, broken bones, fur, and numerous pieces of flesh, blood, carapace, teeth, and claws could be seen everywhere. All of the demonic beasts that had fallen into the pit seemed to have been completely torn apart by terrifying power. The dense blood essence flowed everywhere, dyeing the bottom of the pit red, and even diluting the medicinal fragrance around the pit.

Zhong Qingzhu’s face was deathly pale. He suddenly turned around and clenched his teeth. Although he hadn’t vomited and trembled like an ordinary person, his expression was extremely ugly. In contrast, Shen Shi was calmer. Although he felt uncomfortable looking at this terrifying pit of flesh and blood, the tragic scenes he had seen over the years included three years of experience in the Demon Realm, which made him finally resist the urge to turn his head back.

After carefully looking down for a while, his gaze swept across the terrifying pit below. Shen Shi suddenly said, “Qingzhu, don’t move here. I’ll go down first.”

Zhong Qingzhu was shocked and said, “You want to go down?”

Shen Shi nodded his head and said in a deep voice, “It seems that many of the demonic beasts below exploded their own demonic pills before they died in the chaotic battle just now. In addition, there was no way to avoid the narrow cave bottom. Even the originally immortal demonic beasts were affected. In the end, they exploded their own demonic pills recklessly before they died.” “This wave of self-detonation caused all the demonic beasts to be shattered, turning into a situation like this …”

Zhong Qingzhu’s face turned a little pale again. He imagined the last scene of the mad, cruel, and tragic demonic beasts below the pit not long ago. He couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Shen Shi took a step forward and turned to look at Xiao Hei. He said, “Xiao Hei, you …” Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Hei’s tail was pinched, but he took a few steps back. He seemed to be extremely disgusted with what was underneath the pit and didn’t have the slightest intention of following Master down to examine it.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head. After a bitter smile, he thought to himself, “It’s the same down there anyway. It’s fine if Little Hei can’t get down.” So he no longer cared about it. He reached out to grab the stone beside the cave and slowly slid down against the wall of the cave.

On the ground, Zhong Qingzhu was somewhat worried. Although he did not like the situation below the pit, he still took a few steps forward. He came to the edge of the pit and watched Shen Shi slide down. He shouted,

“Stone, be careful.”

Shen Shi raised his head, smiled at her, and then continued to slide down.

④

As his body continued to descend, he was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the pit. The shocking red flowing below him was also becoming brighter and larger in his line of sight. The bloody aura in the air surged over, like an invisible wave of water, drowning over his nose and mouth.

Traces of blood splashed onto the stone wall of the pit. As his palm slipped past, it was stained with the crimson blood of one hand. Shen Shi glanced at the startling scarlet color on his hands. The corner of his eyes twitched slightly, and he continued to slide towards the bottom of the pit.

Moving slowly, he finally arrived at the bottom of the pit. Afterwards, Shen Shi discovered that he had no place to stand. The corpses of demonic beasts were everywhere. The broken pieces of flesh and blood that had exploded were mixed together, and there was a kind of ferocity that caused people to go crazy. Shen Shi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to calm his emotions. Then, he opened his eyes and stepped forward. He could not care less and directly stepped on the flesh and blood.

With a single step, his body slightly sunk, but the soles of his feet were unstable and he sunk a little bit. The dirty blood and the surrounding pieces of flesh and blood floated like swamps, like the legendary hell of the Yellow Springs.

Shen Shi shook his head. His expression was extremely ugly. As long as a normal person was in such a terrifying and disgusting place, he would never feel comfortable. However, his heart was still tough. He forcefully suppressed the nausea and disgust in his heart. He looked around and slowly walked forward. At the same time, he began to carefully investigate the situation at the bottom of the hole.

All of the demonic beasts seemed to have really died here, and almost all of them died without a complete corpse. As Shen Shi walked through the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, not only did he not see a single intact demonic beast corpse, he did not even see a decent large body fragment. All the corpses of the demonic beasts were shattered, and even he couldn’t tell that the fragments he saw were originally part of the bodies of the demonic beasts.

Shen Shi furrowed his brows tightly. Apart from this horrible and disgusting scene, there was also one very important thing. It was that such a severe shattering would very likely destroy most of the parts of these high-grade demonic beasts’ bodies that could be used as spirit materials.

He struggled through his flesh and blood, searching for the demon body spirit materials that might be useful. He carefully recalled the number of times those demon cores had self-detonated during the beast melee earlier. However, the situation at that time was too chaotic. In the end, Shen Shi could only estimate that at least a dozen demon cores had self-detonated in front of him.

More than a dozen loud noises rang out, It meant that at least a dozen Fourth Grade demonic beasts’ demonic cores had exploded, The value of this caused Shen Shi’s heart to twitch violently. However, there was nothing he could do about it. He could only sigh in his heart and continue searching in this sea of blood. He hoped that his luck would be good enough to find some demon body spirit materials or encounter one or two surviving demon cores.

However, this hope seemed to be somewhat slim. A pool of bright red blood appeared in front of him, as if there were only those terrifying flesh and blood. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Shen Shi had an impulse to leave. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw an extremely weak light flash beneath the flesh and blood in front of him.

Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He stared at the place and took a closer look. He took a big step forward, not caring about the blood-soaked flesh. His hands fluttered a few times and the light suddenly lit up. Shen Shi gently shouted and his right hand forcefully stabbed down. He grabbed onto something in the flesh and raised it up abruptly.

He straightened his body and slowly spread out his hands in front of his eyes.

Fresh blood slowly flowed through his fingers, revealing a round pearl that glowed with cyan light in the center of his palm. A faint Spiritual Energy emitted from the pearl.

Demon Core!

There were actually still demon cores left!

Shen Shi was overjoyed. This harvest was truly extraordinary. One had to know that this was at least a Fourth Grade demonic beast’s demonic core. Its value far surpassed that of ordinary spirit materials. It could even be said that with this demonic core, his risk of crossing the five hundred li invisible boundary would be enough to reward him. Right now, there was still this large hole in front of him that he hadn’t searched.

Under the ecstasy, Shen Shi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He put the demonic beast pill into Ruyi Pouch, and then turned around to continue searching through his flesh and blood. At this moment, perhaps because of a change in his mood, he even felt that this piece of flesh and blood didn’t look as terrifying and disgusting as before.

His body was searching through the flesh and blood. The situation looked strange. Apart from the sound of Shen Shi walking, there was no other movement below the pit. There were only a large number of pieces of flesh and blood.

It was only then that another faint light suddenly lit up somewhere in the pit.

However, for some reason, that ray of light silently lit up from behind Shen Shi. It flickered among a pile of bloody pools of meat, like a pair of ice-cold eyes, coldly staring at the human’s back.
