Killing God - Chapter 396

Chapter 396 Heart Language

Deep in the mountains, in the middle of the night, a cold moon hung high in the sky. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling down on this desolate mountain top.

At the peak of the hill, boulders could be seen everywhere. The trees were slightly sparse, and the cold night wind blew past. The shadows of the trees swayed and jumped like ghosts, emitting a gloomy aura. Shen Shi closed his eyes tightly. His face was pale as he lay on the edge of a boulder on the top of the mountain. He was still unconscious. Not far from him, Little Hei stood at the side and carefully and vigilantly looked at the dark mountain forest around him. He seemed to be a little nervous and anxious.

A gust of mountain wind blew past and touched Little Hei’s hair. It suddenly turned its head to look at Shen Shi. Shen Shi’s body seemed to tremble slightly from the cold, but it quickly returned to its original calm and stopped moving.

Little Hei was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly ran over. His nose sniffed around Shen Shi’s neck for a while. Seeing that he did not react, he waited for a while and tried to use his little pig’s head to arch Shen Shi’s face. Shen Shi’s head tilted to the side, but there was still no sign of waking up.

After a moment of silence, Little Hei did not try anything else. Instead, he slowly laid down on the ground beside Shen Shi, leaning against his body, seemingly to keep warm, and also to cover up the darkness of the night for him.

After such a desolate night, under the cold moonlight, the mountain forest swayed like waves of shadows that only appeared in the darkness, wave after wave, never stopping.

Suddenly, Little Hei’s nose twitched, and the mountain wind blew by its side, as if it had brought a strange aura into the wind. The Little Hei pig suddenly looked a little nervous. It suddenly stood up and turned around to stare at the bottom of the mountain. It looked at the darkness of the shadows, where even the moonlight could not shine.

The night became colder and colder. The mountain forest was like a ghost shouting towards the night sky in the night breeze. It carried a bone-chilling aura as it continuously surged over. The strange aura in the wind gradually became stronger and clearer.

That’s the smell of blood.

It was as if he had walked through the Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood, stained with the smell of endless blood. It was so intense that it seemed to stimulate the darkness of the night, causing the originally cold and calm night to churn. It was like a shocking wave, like a tidal wave, becoming so terrifying.

Little Black stared at the darkness that seemed to be dancing wildly at this moment. He stood in front of Shen Shi, motionless, without the slightest intention of retreating and flinching.

After a while, in the deepest part of the darkness, there was a soft sound of footsteps. In the middle, there seemed to be some breathing. A slender figure walked out of the darkness quietly. It was Zhong Qingzhu.

The moonlight landed on her body like water. Her pale yet clear and beautiful face, for some reason, did not possess the beautiful aura of an ancient legendary Moon Palace fairy. Instead, at this moment, her figure seemed to have merged with the miserable night, appearing exceptionally dazzling and terrifying.

It was because at this moment, Zhong Qingzhu’s body was stained with traces of blood from head to toe. Blood stains were everywhere, as if he had just walked out of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood. The stench of blood was so intense that even she couldn’t stand it.

Along the way, her face was as pale as paper, and her body seemed to tremble unsteadily. On the contrary, when Little Hei saw her figure, although he did not overjoyed and rushed forward, he could tell that he was relieved.

Zhong Qingzhu slowly walked over. His robe was dazzling with blood red. At the edge of his sleeves, he could even see a drop or two of blood slowly dripping down, dyeing a patch of soil at his feet red. Looking back at the path she had taken, she could vaguely see fading blood-colored footprints.

Zhong Qingzhu walked over and looked at Little Hei, who was standing in front of him. Then, her gaze landed on Shen Shi, who was still lying unconscious on the ground. Looking at that similarly pale face, there was a hint of concern in her eyes.

However, after a while, she suddenly frowned, as if her body was a little unwell and she seemed to have thought of something. Her gaze swept across the blood-red color on her body, and her face suddenly turned pale. Then, she suddenly rushed to the side, even startling Little Hei. She jumped to the side, and then looked at Zhong Qingzhu with a puzzled gaze.

The woman who was covered in bloodstains in the cold night was pouncing on a nearby boulder. Her body was tense and she bent over to the ground. There was no more blood on her face. She suddenly started to vomit violently.

Her entire body was trembling, as if she was surrounded by endless nightmares, or as if she was in the most terrible nightmare, unable to wake up. She was wailing in pain and retching. In that violent tremor, the corner of her eyes seemed to have faint tears of water vapor.

After a long time, Zhong Qingzhu slowly calmed down. After gasping for breath and resting for a while, he finally looked calm before turning around and walking back.

The night breeze blew by, and the bloody aura on her body was still as strong as before, causing Little Hei to feel a little uncomfortable. He let out a low snort.

Zhong Qingzhu stopped on Xiao Hei’s body and glanced at it. Xiao Hei muttered to himself, but in the end, he moved aside.

The corners of Zhong Qingzhu’s pale face twitched slightly. She looked like she was smiling. She crouched down, extended her hand, and touched Little Hei’s head.

Perhaps because the inexplicable stench of blood on her body was a little too strong, or perhaps because of some other reason, Little Hei seemed to have some resistance to Zhong Qingzhu’s palm. He took a small step back, but he quickly stopped. Zhong Qingzhu’s fair palm landed on its head, touched its smooth fur a few times, and then said softly,

“Little Hei, I know that you and Shitou are the best. You’ve been watching him, haven’t you?”

Little Hei snorted twice.

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and walked to Shen Shi’s side. He didn’t care about the rubble and dirt on the ground and sat down casually like that. She looked at the unconscious man and his familiar face. She didn’t say anything for a long time and just stared at him with such a deep gaze.

It seemed that this was the first time in all these years that he had been so meticulous.

The moonlight was like water, illuminating the outline of his eyebrows. The scenes of the past were either ancient or profound. The memories buried deep in his heart surged like flowing water. On this cold night, his face seemed to slowly overlap with the past.

She slowly stretched out her hand. Her fingertips suddenly trembled slightly. She looked at his face and wanted to gently caress it. What kind of temperature would the skin on his face be?

However, just as her fingers were about to approach Shen Shi’s cheek, she suddenly saw traces of blood between her palm and her originally fair and slender fingers. Zhong Qingzhu seemed to be stunned for a moment. After stopping in mid-air for a moment, she slowly withdrew her palm.

At this time, Little Black, who was already lying on the ground beside Shen Shi, raised his head to look at Zhong Qingzhu and tilted his head.

Zhong Qingzhu sat quietly beside Shen Shi. She seemed to be deep in thought, but also looked at him purely. From her gradually recovering calm face, she could not see any more peculiar expressions. After a while, she suddenly shouted,

“Little Hei.”

Little Black’s mouth moved. After a while, he revealed half of the unknown spiritual herb roots that he had bitten half of.

“Do you not like me?” Zhong Qingzhu turned around and said softly with a calm tone and even a faint smile.

Little Black’s ears twitched, but he didn’t react at all.

Zhong Qingzhu didn’t seem to care, or perhaps she didn’t seem to care too much about Little Black’s reaction. After she finished her sentence, she slowly raised her head and looked at the cold night and the cold moon above the sky. The night wind blew coldly past the ends of her hair on her temples.

“Actually, it’s not strange. Ever since I was young, no one has liked me.”

“My biological father wanted to sell me for a few liquor gambling stakes. I went to the Zhong family, served tea and water, and worked in the kitchen pigsty, but I was often scolded. I ate less, dressed less, and splashed cold water on my face when it was freezing. I often thought, ‘Why is this happening?'”

‘”Later, I followed Sister Qinglu to serve her. The situation would be better. However, Sister Qinglu didn’t seem to like me very much at that time. Oh right, you know what, Little Hei?” Zhong Qingzhu slowly turned around and smiled. His voice was gentle but deep. “You know, Big Sister Qinglu’s temper wasn’t very good when she was young. It’s different from the charming and gentle look she has now. When she was angry in the past, she used to vent her anger on me. Look,” he said.

She stretched out her hand and gently touched her fair and soft cheeks. She said gently, “See, Blackie, she used to slap me here when I was a child. She slapped me, slapped me in the face …”

Little Black didn’t know if he understood. He was still lying on the ground, quietly chewing on the grass roots in his mouth. Occasionally, he would glance at Zhong Qingzhu. However, he might have stayed together for a long time. It seemed that it was much more natural for him to be beside Zhong Qingzhu.

Zhong Qingzhu did not look at Little Hei anymore. She only raised her head and stared blankly at the brilliant cold moon in the night sky. After a while, she said faintly, “I don’t know why they don’t like me, but it doesn’t matter. Those things aren’t important anymore.”

The bright cold moon was reflected in her eyes, like a white flame burning coldly.

“As long as you stand at the highest place like the moon, you won’t be afraid of anything. You don’t have to worry anymore, right?”

She smiled and said.

The night was dark, and the moonlight shone on the top of the mountain. Shen Shi’s eyelids moved a few times before he slowly woke up.

Little Hei was the first to notice his movements and immediately jumped up. He looked very happy and laughed as he leaned over to lick Shen Shi’s face. Shen Shi only felt a burst of exhaustion and dizziness. It took a while for him to recover. Then, he looked past Little Hei and saw Zhong Qingzhu sitting beside him, covered in blood. He looked like he had not slept all night. At this moment, he was smiling as he looked over and said, “Are you awake?”

Shen Shi smiled and looked around with some confusion. “I’m fine, but … where is this? And why is there so much blood on your body?” He said.

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said, “This is the top of the cave. I brought you up yesterday. As for the blood on my body, I went down to the cave and searched everywhere … All the pieces of flesh and blood were stained.”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He looked at Zhong Qingzhu and said in shock, “That place is so filthy. You’re just a girl …”

Zhong Qingzhu’s face looked a little pale again, but she forced a smile and shook her head. “It’s fine, I can still bear it.”

As she spoke, she took the Ruyi bag and said, In front of Shen Shi, he poured out a bunch of items of different sizes. It looked like they were all parts of various demonic beasts that could be used as spirit materials. At the same time, he said, “I found these spirit materials last night. No matter what, those demonic beasts that died in that cave were all high-grade demonic beasts. Therefore, these demonic beasts’ spirit materials should also be valuable.” Apart from that … ”

She paused for a moment, her gaze solemn for a moment. Then, she reached out and took out three smooth and round Origin Pills filled with Spiritual Energy from Ruyi Bag. They were all Demonic Beast Inner Pills. She gently placed them on top of the pile of Spiritual Materials and whispered at the same time,

“I also found three intact demon cores among those pieces of flesh and blood.”
