Killing God - Chapter 402

Chapter 402 Regression

After resting in the camp outside Black Crow Ridge for a day, Shen Shi felt that his body had recovered quite a bit. Although his chest was still aching, the most important Qi channels around his body and the violently shocked dantian had basically recovered. From this, it could be seen that the spiritual effects of a Tier 3 Spirit Pill, the Golden Tiger Pill, could be seen.

Counting the time, there were only two days left until the end of the Black Crow Ridge Trial in the Hundred Mountains Realm. The atmosphere in the camp gradually became a little tense, and the number of trial disciples returning from the depths of the mountain range gradually increased. Occasionally, one or two figures would be seen returning from the distant mountain path.

When Shen Shi woke up this morning, he first walked around the camp. In the middle, he saw that the place where he had gone yesterday to count his harvests was filled with people. Obviously, all the returning disciples had arrived there as soon as possible. Among the counted Divine Concept disciples, there seemed to be a few more than yesterday. Wang Gen and Gan Wenqing were both present, but they didn’t see Sun Hong.

Shen Shi’s impression of the current Sun Family Patriarch was rather ordinary, and it could not be said to be disgusting. However, because of his good friend Sun You, he felt that he was always on two fronts, so he had always kept his distance.

However, this time, he didn’t see anyone. Shen Shi quickly thought of the scene he saw yesterday. He thought of Sun Heng, who seemed to be seriously injured. Then, he naturally thought of He Xiaomei, who had returned with Sun Heng.

He stood there and pondered for a moment before turning around and walking towards the rest of the female disciples in the camp. Although Lingxiao Sect rested on both sides of the camp because of the difference between men and women, it was not that the cultivators were completely unfriendly. They would not directly prohibit men and women from interacting with each other like some stupid places in the mortal world. It was because Shen Shi walked all the way to the row of rooms where the female disciples in the sect were resting without any hindrance. He then asked his fellow disciples and found the room where He Xiaomei was resting.

Back on Golden Rainbow Mountain, although he and He Xiaomei did not have a very deep friendship, they had always known each other for many years. When he was seriously injured in the mountain range, He Xiaomei also came to visit him several times. He was considered a good friend, so this time, he thought about it and came to take a look.

Walking to the door of the room, he saw that the doors and windows were tightly shut and there was no one around. It was very quiet. Shen Shi did not know if he was congratulating Xiaomei or not, so he walked forward and prepared to knock on the door. Unexpectedly, just as he raised his arm and landed on the door, he suddenly heard a burst of sobbing sound coming from the room. Furthermore, it was He Xiaomei who was crying for some unknown reason.

Shen Shi was stunned. Before he could react, another voice suddenly came from behind the door. It sounded like a deep and deep man. He lowered his voice and said something. His words were somewhat vague and Shen Shi did not hear clearly, but he seemed to be comforting He Xiaomei in a low voice. However, after a while, He Xiaomei’s sobbing did not seem to stop.

Shen Shi frowned. He was somewhat worried in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his arm again and knocked twice on the door.

“Dong dong …”

After a while, He Xiaomei’s voice came from behind the door and said, “Who is it?”

Shen Shi said, “Junior Sister Xiao Mei, this is Shen Shi. Seeing you come back yesterday, I seem to have suffered some injuries, so I came over to take a look. Are you alright?”

He Xiaomei paused for a moment and said, “I’m fine. Thank you very much.”

Shen Shi let out a “Oh” sound. He felt relieved. He thought that He Xiaomei shouldn’t have anything to do with this. Furthermore, she didn’t open the door immediately. Perhaps there was something inconvenient in the room, so he naturally didn’t intend to pry into it. He smiled and said, “That’s good. Then you can rest. I’ll go back first.”

As he spoke, he turned around and left. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a ruckus in the room behind him. It was as if He Xiaomei had an argument with someone. In the middle, someone coughed hurriedly and deeply. It sounded as if his body wasn’t too good. Shen Shi shook his head. He didn’t know what was going on inside, but since He Xiaomei didn’t seem to have any intention of letting him know, he didn’t need to explore it.

After leaving this place and returning to the front of the camp, he saw that there were a lot more people at the gate of the camp. At the same time, disciples from Lingxiao Sect were also walking back from the Black Crow Ridge one after another. It seemed that in the last two days, many people chose to turn around in advance. Unless the amount of spiritual materials he found was too small, those who were still stuck in the mountains at this time would have to face the threat of demonic beasts, as well as fellow disciples who could not prevent them from snatching them away. The danger was simply too great.

This principle was not difficult to understand, and that risk could sometimes even endanger one’s life. How could there be a truly stupid person in this world? At least in the Ling Xiao Sect, most people were smart.

There were more Divine Concept disciples sent to collect spiritual materials, including Sun Hong, who Shen Shi hadn’t seen in the morning. At this moment, he was also there. However, looking at his expression, he had always been silent and solemn, as if he wasn’t in a good mood.

Shen Shi walked to the entrance of the camp. Occasionally, he would look at the disciples approaching the camp. Occasionally, he would look at the mountain path on the Black Crow Ridge in the distance. He would carefully look at the figures coming down from there. He hoped to see his friends, Sun You, Zhong Qinglu, or Gan Ze in the crowd.

However, he didn’t see any of them until the end of the day.

At the same time, a piece of news began to spread among the Lingxiao Sect disciples in the camp. This time, the Black Crow Ridge Trial was harsh and harsh. Many of the division commanders had indeed kept their promises and did not help at all. As a result, it was said that people had already begun to die in that extremely dangerous mountain range.

④

The rumors did not say who the dead person was, or that no one knew yet. On the other hand, when a few disciples were chatting in private, they were extremely sure that more than one person had died.

Although this news hadn’t been confirmed by the sect, it undoubtedly caused the atmosphere in the camp to become more solemn. Shen Shi also started to worry slightly. However, after this night passed, tomorrow would be the last day. At that time, perhaps everyone should return. At that time, everything would be clear.

When the sky darkened, Shen Shi suddenly remembered that he didn’t seem to have seen Zhong Qingzhu during this day. He didn’t know where she had gone today. Perhaps it was also because this trial was extremely exhausting, so he rested in his room.

After nightfall, a torch was lit in the camp. The burning flames formed a bright dot of light under the Black Crow Ridge Mountain, guiding the gaze in the darkness. Even in the dead of night, there were people guarding the mountain path in the camp. As expected, on this pitch-black night, disciples of Lingxiao Sect also came back from the mountain one after another.

After dawn the next day, under the sunlight, Black Crow Ridge seemed to have awakened from its slumber. Along with the mountain breeze, the wave of disciples from Lingxiao Sect returning from this trial suddenly reached its peak.

Groups of Lingxiao Sect disciples walked back from the mountains one after another. There were all sorts of them, some with depressed expressions and many injuries, and some with Shen Wan Qi who lifted his weight as lightly as he could. Some of them were afraid and cowardly alone, while others were cronies with an imposing aura. Just like that, people kept coming back, turning the originally quiet camp into an extremely lively place.

Several Origin Core Realm Grand Daoists led by Elder Sun Ming Yang also appeared today. However, they were very tolerant and did not interfere with the disciples who had gone through the difficult trials on the Black Crow Ridge. They could vent their emotions and laugh and cry as they wished. In any case, as long as they did not make any mistakes in the most crucial part of registering and storing spirit materials, it would be fine.

The place where the spiritual materials were counted was quickly surrounded. Many disciples took out a large amount of spiritual materials, and there were quite a few precious items among them, causing one’s horizons to be greatly enlarged. Everyone in this world has their own opportunities, who can say that they will definitely be stronger than others?

However, Shen Shi’s attention was not on the side of counting the spirit materials. He was always standing near the gate of the camp waiting. However, he had not seen his friends, causing his mood to start to become somewhat anxious.

The demonic beasts on the Black Crow Ridge were not merciful people. He was also someone who had experienced it from the depths of the Black Crow Ridge. It could even be said that he had made a trip to the Gate of Hell. Thinking about the fact that his relatives weren’t by his side and that there were only three or four friends, Shen Shi really didn’t want to see any accidents happen to one of them.

He stood at the entrance of the camp for a long time, Then, around noon, he saw a person walking down the mountain path. His clothes were dirty and dirty. Even his face looked a little dark. However, his expression was filled with joy. He saw Shen Shi standing outside the gate looking at him from afar. He laughed loudly and walked over quickly. He waved his hand at Shen Shi and said,

“Stone!”

Shen Shi laughed. He shook his head and laughed loudly as he looked at Sun You, who had almost turned into a different person. Young friend Sun also looked happy. He ran over and hugged him forcefully. He smiled and said, “Good fellow, you actually came back so early. Your harvest must be pretty good! Oh right, is there any injury? It depends on your expression.”

Shen Shi didn’t even have time to answer the questions. He laughed and said, “I’m very well. I’m slightly injured, but I’m almost healed. How are you?”

“This Black Crow Ridge is of course a piece of cake for this Young Master,” Young Master Sun said as he raised his arm and made a sturdy gesture, then patted his chest and smiled, “This Black Crow Ridge is a piece of cake for this Young Master.”

Shen Shi laughed and pushed him. Then, he pointed at Wang Gen and Sun Hong, who were extremely busy, and said, “Alright, you go over and count the spirit materials first. We’ll talk later.”

Sun You nodded and smiled. Seeing that Sun You had returned safely, his expression was pretty good. Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He smiled and shook his head. He turned around to look at the distant mountain path, thinking that he didn’t know how Qing Lu was doing now.

He didn’t know if he was thinking about it, but he somehow echoed it. He turned his gaze and saw a woman walking towards him with a smile not far from the foot of the mountain path. The spring breeze blew past her face and hair like a fresh flower bud blooming for the first time. Her bright eyes were as bright as water. Not long after, she walked towards him.

She smiled, like the gentlest and most beautiful flower in the mountains and fields this season. Her eyes carried a look of relief and joy, and she looked like Shen Shi, revealing a sense of relief.

Shen Shi also laughed, nodded, and said to her,

“Are you back?”
