Killing God - Chapter 394

Chapter 394 Black Egg

Above the pit, Zhong Qingzhu resisted the discomfort in his heart. He looked down and saw Shen Shi walking in the sea of corpses. He looked like he was looking for something in the flesh of a demonic beast. He couldn’t help but feel a little disgusted. After pausing for a moment, he raised his voice and shouted,

“Shitou, did you find anything?”

Shen Shi stood upright and raised his head to smile upwards. Although the bloody scene around him and the blood stains on his body made his smile look a little strange, he could still tell that his expression was much more relaxed than before. He smiled at Zhong Qingzhu and said,

“Not bad luck. I found a demon pill. It’s too dirty down here. I’ll look for it again. You can rest on it for a while.”

Zhong Qingzhu’s face revealed joy. No matter what, obtaining a Fourth Grade demonic beast’s demonic core was definitely a great harvest. He immediately waved his hand and agreed, “Alright, but you have to be careful.” As she spoke, she seemed to have remembered something. She shouted to Shen Shi, “Oh right, Stone, take a closer look at the corpse of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion. That demonic beast has advanced from Tier 5 to Tier 6. Perhaps it has some high-grade spirit materials on it.”

Shen Shi agreed from afar, but after looking at the broken pieces of meat that were flowing with blood everywhere, he subconsciously smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Zhong Qingzhu retracted his gaze and let out a long breath. It seemed that the demonic beasts below had perished together in that chaotic battle. They were all shattered to pieces. At least for now, they seemed to be safe. However, she felt a chill run down her spine whenever she thought of the crazy battle in the cave not long ago, as well as the self-destructing demonic beast pills that seemed to crumble after all the high-grade demonic beasts landed in the cave.

This time, she was truly on the verge of death. As long as there was a slight mistake, she and Shen Shi would almost certainly die in the surroundings of so many tyrannical demonic beasts.

She sighed in her heart. She stood up and took two steps back. In the blink of an eye, she saw Little Hei lying on the ground not far away, looking lazy. She had an unknown spiritual herb in her mouth and was chewing on it. A moment later, Little Hei seemed to have sensed Zhong Qingzhu’s gaze as well. He raised his eyes to look at her, but there weren’t any superfluous movements or expressions on his face.

All along, Zhong Qingzhu’s relationship with the Little Hei pig beside Shen Shi had been very calm. Even though he had barely fought side by side during the siege of the Beast Alliance, he did not think that Little Hei would be any closer to him afterwards. However, in her heart, she didn’t really care about this. Moreover, seeing Little Hei at this time, for some reason, Zhong Qingzhu thought of another charming woman somewhere in Floating Cloud City.

Her expression dimmed slightly. She silently turned her gaze away and looked at the surrounding cave environment. Last time, because the Iron-winged Black Scorpion was guarding the Heavenly Vermillion Fruit, she had never really checked the situation here. Just as she was thinking about whether she should take this opportunity to look around, a deep groan suddenly came from beside her.

Zhong Qingzhu looked around in surprise, only to find that Little Hei, who had just looked lazy, suddenly stood up from the ground. He snorted softly, his eyes filled with confusion, hesitation, and nervousness. After a moment of hesitation, he took a step towards the edge of the pit.

Zhong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment. His bright eyes turned and his brows furrowed slightly. Then, his gaze descended into the large pit that was a distance away.

The smell of blood in the air was still strong.

④

Under the pit, Shen Shi rummaged around for a while. He opened up quite a few pieces of flesh and blood, stained with quite a few dirty pools of blood. However, he did not find the most important and precious demon pills. Instead, he found three or two pieces of flesh and blood that seemed to be barely enough to be used as spirit materials. It could be considered a small harvest. Therefore, he put them into Ruyi Bag first.

Standing upright and looking around, Shen Shi once again sized up the hole he was in. Suddenly, he discovered that there were many obvious traces of hard objects being excavated on the stone walls around the collapsed hole. Some of the large stones on the stone walls were even directly cut apart from it. The traces of the fractures were very conspicuous.

If only the ground had collapsed, there shouldn’t be such a sign, right? It seemed like something had been dug here before. Shen Shi was silent for a moment. He couldn’t understand for a moment. Then, his gaze landed at the bottom of the pit. He looked at the countless flesh and blood pools around him and discovered that he had probably only found less than 20% of this place.

Perhaps there was still hope of finding a well-preserved demon core under the other pieces of flesh and blood. Thinking of this, Shen Shi’s spirits lifted. He turned around and raised his foot, wanting to continue walking forward.

However, at this moment, the corner of his eyes suddenly flickered beneath the flesh and blood of a certain place beside him.

Shen Shi’s body instantly stopped. He suddenly turned around and stared at the piece of flesh and blood. However, the light seemed to be an illusion. It actually flashed and there was no movement.

He stared over there for a while, but didn’t find any more abnormal phenomena. After hesitating for a moment, he frowned and slowly turned around, wondering if he was mistaken? However, after pondering on the spot for a moment, Shen Shi turned around again and walked towards the direction where the faint light flashed.

Wasn’t there something strange? Wasn’t there a mistake or was there really some treasure hidden there? Wouldn’t it be easy to find out if he went over and searched for it?

After taking a few steps forward, the pieces of flesh and blood flowed at his feet in a greasy and disgusting manner. Very quickly, they approached the spot where the light had lit up just now. The place where the light had lit up just now was close to the side wall at the bottom of the hole. It was at this moment that Shen Shi suddenly saw a faint and slightly cold light shining beneath a large piece of meat over there.

Suddenly, he was overjoyed. At the same time, he suddenly heard Xiao Hei groan somewhere above his head, somewhere above the pit. His voice seemed to contain a hint of nervousness.

Shen Shi’s heart suddenly trembled for no reason. A chill instantly assaulted him. It was as if all the bloody aura in the lightning flint had suddenly disappeared. In his line of sight, there was only that icy cold light left.

The chunk of meat trembled slightly, as if it had caused the other blood pools in the surroundings to shatter. It was like a wave in a river of blood that began to flip slightly. Then, that ray of light suddenly lit up, and the pool of blood surged rapidly and even fiercely. A strange and shrill scream that was like a child’s cry suddenly arose.

Iron Winged Black Scorpion!

This demonic beast was actually still alive!

Shen Shi’s body trembled, and his first reaction was to retreat. With the Origin Condensation Realm’s Dao Cultivation Realm, it was almost impossible for him to defeat such an incomparably powerful demonic beast. However, the distance between the two was too short. Just as he retreated, he saw a bloody red color surging in front of him. In an instant, a large area of flesh and blood rushed over like a bloody wall. At the same time, he saw the body of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion.

In other words, the remnant body of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion.

At first glance, Shen Shi didn’t even recognize this demonic beast immediately. Obviously, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion didn’t know why it was able to survive that terrifying melee earlier, but it was also severely injured.

The originally enormous body of the demonic beast was almost completely blown away. To be exact, most of the body of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion had been shattered and turned into a part of this pile of dirty blood fragments. At this moment, the Iron-winged Black Scorpion in front of Shen Shi only had two thirds of its head and a small body below its neck. There was also a huge chelating limb barely connected to it. Other than that, the other parts of its body had completely disappeared.

It was hard to imagine that a demonic beast could survive such a heavy injury after losing more than half of its body and even having its head cut off. However, the ice-cold compound eyes that had been opened shockingly proved that the extremely powerful demonic beast was still struggling to die.

A cold killing intent covered the sky and earth. Shen Shi retreated in shock. The Iron-winged Black Scorpion, which only had a damaged body, seemed to want to attack. However, it immediately gave up this attempt after its claws slightly moved. Instead, it suddenly opened its mouth and a dazzling ball of clear light flew out and directly collided with Shen Shi.

Demon Core!

The Iron Winged Black Scorpion’s demon core!

A Tier 5 demonic beast might even have advanced to Tier 6 demonic beast’s demonic core, and it launched an extremely powerful attack at Shen Shi.

In an instant, the entire sea of blood and flesh seemed to be churning. All sounds were completely extinguished, leaving behind only that scorching and bright light.

Shen Shi shouted loudly and crazily retreated. However, the ball of light was so fast that it was already in front of him in the blink of an eye. There was no way to retreat, no way to avoid it. And before that aura could reach his body, it seemed as if it had already crushed his sternum and sent his heart flying out of his chest.

Shen Shi had no doubt that once this terrifying demon core struck his body, his fate would be to transform into a portion of the countless pieces of flesh and blood below. The horrible state of being shattered was right in front of his eyes.

At this juncture of life and death, He could no longer care less. He roared angrily and a golden light suddenly burst out from his body. In an instant, a golden dragon armor suddenly appeared, covering his entire body. It looked like he was a war god who was running madly. In the next moment, the demonic core of the Iron-winged Black Scorpion struck his body.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, the demon core flew backwards. The golden dragon armor on Shen Shi’s body instantly shattered, turning into golden powder that directly shattered and dissipated. At the same time, an ear-piercing sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Shen Shi let out a muffled snort. His body trembled, and his entire body was sent flying. In midair, he saw that his face was already pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

When the blood seemed to cover the sky and the earth before his eyes, He could vaguely see through the blurry blood color that a small hole had appeared not far behind the Iron-winged Black Scorpion’s body that was covered in flesh and blood. There was a black object that was incompatible with the environment of the surrounding dirty flesh and blood.

From afar, it looked like an egg.

A pure black egg.

Shortly after, Shen Shi’s head abruptly tilted to the other side, and his body flew out like a broken kite. Seeing that someone had fainted, his unconscious body fiercely smashed into the stone wall of the pit in the distance. Then, he fell heavily and fell into the dirty pieces of flesh and blood.
