Killing God - Chapter 441

Chapter 441 Stone Forest
In front of the sand dune, in the boundless desert, a strange stone pillar suddenly appeared. The stone pillar closest to Shen Shi was about thirty zhang away from him, not far from the sand dune. From afar, the stone pillars over there looked very strange. Although they looked different in size, they were almost the size of two large pillars, with a small shape in the middle.

After carefully examining the surroundings for a while, Shen Shi looked around and saw that in the nearby desert, apart from the strange stone pillars that suddenly appeared, there were no other unusual things. There was a patch of yellow sand everywhere. So after pondering for a moment, he brought Little Hei over to the pillars.

This distance wasn’t too far. After descending the sand dune, he quickly walked to the periphery of the stone pillars. However, Shen Shi was still a bit careful. In this Wentian Secret Realm, everything seemed to be a bit strange. Perhaps, some dangerous things would appear at some point.

As he approached, he saw these strange-looking stone pillars more clearly. Shen Shi immediately discovered that the stone pillars that stood in this desert seemed to be made of yellow clay. The upper surface of these pillars was potholed and had short but sharp stone thorns. The stone pillars weren’t small, usually at least two people tall. Strangely enough, the bottom was like a pile of dirt, and the middle suddenly shrunk, turning into a ball in the upper half. The surface of the sphere was dry and hard, and there were few cracks and holes, but there were obvious traces of sand erosion in many places.

At this moment, the sun was blazing in the sky, Looks like it’s the hottest time of day, The temperature in this desert was incomparably scorching. Even cultivators like Shen Shi felt a little uncomfortable. The clay pillars exposed to the sun did not seem to have the slightest bit of vitality. They could not see any pattern from far or near, so they quietly stood in this desert.

Shen Shi frowned and looked to the left and right. There seemed to be a large number of stone pillars that stretched all the way to the depths of the desert. These stone pillars had strange shapes that he had never seen before. Most importantly, the yellow clay-like objects on these stone pillars were clearly different from ordinary stones, and they were also different from the fine sand that was everywhere around them. However, in the vast desert in front of him, other than sand or sand, nothing else could be seen in the surroundings except for these stone pillars.

Could it be that something from an ancient era thousands of years ago has been passed down by this desert to this day?

Shen Shi shook his head. After pondering for a moment, he continued walking into the stone pillar forest.

The tall stone pillars stood silently. The fierce sunlight seemed to carry a trace of fierceness, evaporating all the life here. They could not even find a slightly cooler place. For some reason, as Shen Shi walked, he felt uncomfortable, as if he was being peeped at in the dark.

Shen Shi’s footsteps paused slightly. His gaze swept across the surroundings, only to see that the stone pillar was silent and motionless. He lowered his head and looked at Xiao Hei. He saw that Xiao Hei also looked a little listless. No matter what kind of creature it was, even if it possessed a powerful demonic beast bloodline, it would not feel comfortable in such a hot and dry desert or in the sun. However, apart from that, Little Black didn’t seem to have any other unusual features.

Shen Shi thought for a moment before continuing forward. As he continued to move forward, he gradually reached the depths of the stone forest. The surrounding stone pillars began to grow taller and taller. There were even large stone pillars that were thirty to forty feet tall. However, the taller the stone pillars, the wider the distance between them. Clearly, there would only be one tallest stone pillar in an area, and the rest would be smaller ones.

However, apart from this, Shen Shi still hadn’t discovered anything.

There were no plants, no animals, no life, not even a single insect. Only these mysterious stone forests, high or low, stood alone and silently in this desert that was blazing with the sun.

Shen Shi walked past a stone pillar and suddenly stopped. He first sized up the stone pillar in front of him. It wasn’t particularly tall, and even the lower half of the pile was close to two people tall. The earth-yellow surface was covered in hard sand, and one could see that it was a stone thorn everywhere.

Shen Shi stared at the stone pillar for a moment, then extended his hand and carefully touched it.

The tentacles felt rough and hard, and there was a trace of boiling heat.

Shen Shi frowned and retracted his hand. He was somewhat surprised. It was unknown if the surface of these stone pillars had been exposed to the sun for too long, so the temperature on the surface of the stone pillars was somewhat frighteningly high.

After standing there and pondering for a moment, Shen Shi still didn’t seem to have any clue. He could only continue walking forward. However, he had only walked a dozen steps this time. Suddenly, his body trembled, and his gaze condensed slightly as he looked ahead.

In the depths of this strange and silent stone pillar, he suddenly saw an earthen wall.

Yes, a broken earth wall that had long since turned unsightly, and could barely be seen, stood alone behind a stone pillar in front of him.

Shen Shi’s spirits were instantly lifted. This was the second thing he saw after descending into this desert, apart from these strange stone pillars. Moreover, the earth wall was clearly made by intelligent races. Even though the earth wall had long since been weathered and broken, as long as he could find traces left behind by his predecessors, it would still be good. Moreover, if it was really the architectural ruins created by the predecessors, then it shouldn’t be just that. Perhaps there would be more discoveries.

He greeted Little Black, who was following behind him, with a look of joy on his face. Then, he quickly walked forward. Little Black raised his head to look at him, muttered twice, and then listlessly ran over with him.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Shi arrived at the side of the earthen wall. This earthen wall was incomparably broken, leaving behind only a small fault. The highest point was only two feet tall, and both sides of the wall had long been covered by yellow sand, emitting an indescribable desolate aura. Shen Shi tried to gently pat the wall, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he felt that his subordinates were lighter. A large piece of the wall had actually turned into dust of varying sizes and fell down.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. The extent of the damage to the earth wall was even greater than he had imagined. It seemed that it had been destroyed for countless years. As soon as he walked past the wall, he discovered that there were indeed other similar ruins behind the wall. They began to rise and fall in this stone pillar forest, and it seemed that they were not small in scale and distributed over a large area.

Could it be an ancient village?

Shen Shi’s spirits surged as he walked forward. The broken earth walls appeared in front of him one after another, and there was an ancient and desolate aura in the yellow sand. However, apart from the ruins and the beams of the doors and windows that could barely be seen, he still did not find any signs of life, nor did he find any traces of anyone living here.

Everything seemed to have been annihilated with the passage of time. Even the remnants of the ruins didn’t seem to be long before they were mercilessly swallowed up by this desert.

At the same time, within the ruins of this ancient village, Shen Shi discovered that those strange stone pillars were still densely packed within. There seemed to be even more dense stone pillars of all sizes than the outer perimeter of the stone forest. Many stone pillars were directly born in the ruined courtyards of certain houses, and even stood up from the damaged houses.

This scene gave people a strange and abrupt feeling. There was something wrong with it. Shen Shi frowned slightly, as if he had subconsciously relaxed his footsteps and quietly walked through the ruins. The tall stone pillars were not far away from him, but it gave him the feeling, especially in this ruins, that this ancient village was drowned by these strange stone pillars.

It was as if a sharp blade had pierced into his body!

There was a creepy illusion.

In front of him, he suddenly saw a ruins. It looked slightly more complete and tall than the ruins around him, but it was also broken. At most, the remnants of the earth wall were a little higher, and the houses inside were still a little bit taller.

Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat as he walked towards the room. Little Hei followed at his feet. He suddenly looked up at the blazing sun. The sun had slowly moved a little westward. The sky was still bright, but it seemed to be softer. The surrounding temperature had also dropped slightly.

The door of this ruined house had long disappeared without a trace. Shen Shi directly walked in through a small gap in the dilapidated earthen wall. Looking at the outline of the surrounding ruins, it seemed that there was a sizeable courtyard here earlier, and the houses in front of him were quite sizeable. If it was back then, the owner of this house should be considered someone with some status in this village.

Shen Shi observed the left and right, then walked towards the direction of the house. Most of the houses in the ruins had been weathered and collapsed. Only the largest house in the middle looked at the three earthen walls, but the roof had long since disappeared.

Walking up a staircase or a pile of dirt, Shen Shi walked into the room. Everywhere his gaze touched, there was fine sand everywhere. However, just a little bit further inside, he discovered that there was still half a table lying on the ground. There was a masonry-like pile of dirt that seemed to be a bit like a stove, but it was also possible that it was just a simple stone rack. In short, it was hard to tell.

Apart from that, there were no traces of any other creatures. Shen Shi shook his head and turned around to walk out. However, at this moment, Little Hei, who had followed him into the room, suddenly shrugged his nose. Then, he trotted to the side of the pile of dirt. After sniffing around for a few times, he shouted at Shen Shi.

Shen Shi raised his eyebrows and quickly walked over. He carefully sized up the seemingly unshocking pile of dirt. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly stretched out his hands and pushed open the sand layer.

After busy working for a while, when the yellow sand was blown away, in front of Shen Shi and Little Hei, a mottled and worn stone slab was revealed on the ground of the ruins. From the looks of it, it was unknown how many years had passed, and it was filled with traces of roughness.

Shen Shi looked at them and suddenly stretched out his hand to exert strength. He shouted in a low voice. With a low and muffled sound, the stone slab responded with a “boom”. Then, a black hole appeared in front of the two of them.
