Killing God - Chapter 442

Chapter 442 White Light

A rotten stench blew out as the stone slab was lifted. Shen Shi frowned and pulled Little Hei back a few steps, making way for the limelight.

In this empty ruins, after being blown by the hot wind in the desert, the smell quickly dissipated with the wind. After waiting by the side for a while and confirming that the smell had been blown away by the wind, Shen Shi approached the dark cave underground again and looked down carefully.

At the entrance, as the sky fell, The vicinity of the entrance of the black hole was somewhat illuminated. It could be seen that the stone walls at the edge of the hole were fairly flat, as if they had been dug up manually. In addition, the black hole was in the ruins of this room. It felt a bit like the cellar of this family in ancient times, or a secret room secretly dug out.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi pondered for a moment and then looked around. At this moment, the ruins were still silent. Apart from the strange but also very quiet tall stone pillars, there was no sound of movement. The sun in the sky looked a little westerly, and the sky softened. The hottest time of the day seemed to have passed.

Shen Shi thought for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and casually summoned a small fireball. Then, he lightly fell into the black hole. This action was only for the sake of observing, so he did not use all of his strength. The flames did not have any power either. Instead, they lit up the surrounding area and slowly fell into the dark cave.

As the flames lit up, Shen Shi quickly saw that this was a vertical tunnel that was about three feet long and three feet wide. However, when it descended to a depth of six or seven feet, it was convenient to see the bottom. Then, another tunnel opening was opened on one side wall and extended inside.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but he still decided to go down and check it out. However, of course, he had to bring Xiao Hei along for this kind of thing. Therefore, he conveniently pulled over the little black pig that was still lying lazily on the side. He smiled and said, “Xiao Hei, let’s go down and take a look.”

Without waiting for Little Hei to react, he jumped down.

This height was of course insignificant to Origin Condensation Realm cultivators. However, when he jumped to the bottom of the cave, Shen Shi could still smell the stench that had rushed out not long ago. Although it was obviously not as strong as the cave entrance at the beginning, it was still very obvious. Thinking about this cellar-like place, perhaps it had been sealed for thousands of years, it didn’t seem too strange to have such a stench.

Shen Shi thought of this and placed Little Hei on the ground, signaling for this thick-skinned fellow to walk in front.

Little Hei muttered. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with this job. However, it didn’t seem to be afraid of danger or anything. Instead, it had a keen nose and a keen sense of smell. It was very annoyed by the stench here.

Even so, one man and one pig continued to walk forward. The underground passage on the stone wall was neither wide nor narrow. It was just enough for one person to walk. Furthermore, it was not long. It had only walked six or seven steps. Under the illumination of the fireball that Shen Shi had summoned out to illuminate his hand, a stone room that was obviously dug out appeared before his eyes.

The stone room didn’t look very big, and the layout was square. The ground was covered in a thick layer of dust. There were several rotten jars and broken shelves in several corners. It really looked like a cellar of the old man’s house.

At this moment, Little Hei suddenly shouted in a low voice, his voice carrying a hint of vigilance and vigilance as he stared at a certain place in the stone room. Shen Shi’s gaze was also looking at that place.

The fireball that was used to illuminate the underground stone room was swaying in the darkness, emitting a bright light. As the light shook, they saw a corpse at the same time in the corner of the stone room.

It looked like a human-shaped skeleton, lying on the ground in a corner of the stone room. Its body was still curled up together. Judging from its twisted appearance, it seemed as if it was experiencing some sort of pain before its death. The corpse had almost no clothes or flesh on it, and it had probably rotted into dust over a long period of time. The dense white bones lying in the darkness were even more bizarre, making one’s hair stand on end.

However, neither Shen Shi nor Little Hei Pigs had the appearance of being frightened to the point where their feet were weak and their hearts were shattered. Years of experience had long since made Shen Shi’s temperament exceptionally tough. However, at this moment, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face, as if he was shocked and puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly walked over and squatted down beside the corpse.

Little Hei slowly followed Shen Shi and stood at his feet. There seemed to be some strange emotions in the eyes of a pair of pigs.

Shen Shi’s gaze slowly swept over the corpse. He looked at the bone that had begun to turn black and grey for too long. From its four limbs to its body, it was a human-shaped skeleton. However, when it reached its neck, the skeleton that was supposed to be a skull suddenly became strange.

It wasn’t like an ordinary human with a relatively round head. From the looks of it, the protruding skeleton had a strange shape. If one were to go into detail, it was more like some kind of animal that Shen Shi had seen in the past.

Shen Shi looked at the skeleton, especially its head, and was silent for a long time. Then, he turned to look at Little Hei and said softly,

“Xiao Hei, this is a demon.”

To all the humans in this world, the word “Demon race” was no stranger. Even though it had been so many years since the human-demon bloody battle 10,000 years ago, the oral history recorded in countless historical books still allowed people to remember the formerly incomparably powerful race. Moreover, even though the remaining elites of Demon race had retreated back to the Demon Realm and destroyed their divine artifacts to cut off their path of retreat, there were still quite a few relatively weak Demon race tribes that survived in the other realms that were connected to the Primordial Chaos Main Realm.

To Shen Shi, the meaning of the word Demon race was completely different from that of an ordinary person. After all, he had accidentally arrived at the Demon Realm and had struggled to survive there for three years.

However, if he only saw the corpse of a demon, it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, don’t forget where Shen Shi was right now. This was the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm.

The Heaven Seeking Secret Realm was a mysterious secret realm that Yuan Wentian, the head of the six human saints of the past, had found and opened up. It was a mysterious change. It contained countless opportunities, countless mysterious creatures, and of course, many unfathomable dangers. However, apart from this, according to Shen Shi’s knowledge, the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm had been opened countless times in the past ten thousand years, yet no demon race had ever appeared in the secret realm, not even a dead demon race.

At this moment, the depths of Shen Shi’s heart fluctuated. Even he himself couldn’t tell what kind of mood he was feeling at this moment. With his years of experience in the Demon Realm, he could tell that this corpse beast-headed person was a demon race character that was extremely clear. Could it be that even in the Heaven Seeking Secret Realm, the demon race had existed before the ancient times?

Shen Shi faintly felt that something was wrong. Soon, he subconsciously recalled the strange change that happened when he first entered Wentian Secret Realm. Then, he slowly stood up, and a trace of unease flashed through his heart. He felt that this trip to Wentian Secret Realm seemed to have undergone an unknown and unpredictable change beyond his imagination.

Shen Shi stood there and stared at the strange demon corpse for a while. Then, he calmed down and searched the underground secret room. However, apart from this demon corpse, there was nothing unusual about this place. It seemed to be an ordinary and ancient cellar.

Shen Shi shook his head. After pondering for a moment, he called out to Little Hei and left the cellar.

When he returned to the ground, he saw the sun setting in the west. He saw that he was about to land on the horizon of the western desert. Even the sky darkened. It seemed that he had wasted a lot of time under this cellar. Shen Shi looked around. At dusk, the ruins were even more desolate. All sorts of shadows that could not be seen at noon were drawn out for a long time, and the tall stone pillars that stood inside and outside the ruins seemed to be somewhat sinister and terrifying.

Shen Shi frowned and walked forward. Xiao Hei followed him and suddenly snapped his nose, shaking his body.

A gust of wind blew by, and a layer of yellow sand blew past them. A soft hissing sound resounded and fell from the ruins, as if the sound of someone’s inexplicable footsteps had added something strange to the desolation.

As the wind blew by, his clothes floated, and Shen Shi suddenly felt a trace of coldness.

He raised his eyebrows and stopped. Just in the daytime, the desert was still scorching hot. Even the wind seemed to burn uncomfortably. But only a few hours later, when the sun was about to set, the temperature here seemed to be rapidly dropping.

The setting sun seemed to be taking away all the light and heat from this land!

However, for some reason, when darkness gradually began to descend and a cold and gloomy aura gradually enveloped this land, Shen Shi felt that there was suddenly a chance for life in this desert.

In a secluded corner far and near, some soft but strange sounds began to come from the distance. It was like the sound of insects blowing through a hole like the sound of wind. Occasionally, it was a bit mournful, like the cry of an ancient soul. However, it was soon obliterated by a deeper but louder sound.

Shen Shi suddenly raised his head and looked up.

At that moment, the last ray of light from the setting sun on the horizon also disappeared. The night in this desert finally descended.

At the same time, strange sounds rang out from all the tall and large stone pillars. They were densely packed and deep. At first, they were only a few stone pillars nearby. Gradually, all of the stone pillars began to move. They joined together and formed a wave-like whistling sound.

The night was miserable.

Moments later, Shen Shi suddenly saw that on the nearest stone pillar, the large and hard yellow clay stone surface on the upper half of the pillar suddenly sunk in from somewhere, revealing a small hole.

Then, a black insect the size of a palm slowly crawled out of the cave entrance. Its entire body was pitch black, and only its pair of wings were actually silver-white and shiny.

The insect slowly spun around a few times, as if it had observed its surroundings. After a while, it suddenly raised its head and let out a sharp, high-pitched, and strange cry. It instantly swept through the night. Almost at the same time, countless similar screams rose at the same time, surging like a tide.

The insect flapped its wings, The silver light instantly obscured its black body. It flew straight into the night sky and turned into a dot of light. However, this was only the beginning, Just as Shen Shi was shocked, suddenly, thunder rang out in the originally pitch-black night sky. In an instant, countless dots of light lit up in the night sky. They shone brightly and transformed into an incomparably brilliant and indescribably large white light screen that covered the entire sky. It was extremely spectacular.

Shen Shi stood under the ruins and looked up at this rare scene. He was stunned and speechless.
