Killing God - Chapter 443

Chapter 443 Strange Web

The light in that instant was so bright and dazzling that Shen Shi couldn’t even react immediately. He just stared at the magnificent white light screen that suddenly appeared in the black night. This time, the night was like day. Everything seemed to have no way of hiding under the brilliant light.

Suddenly, Little Hei let out a low roar at his feet, bringing with it some anxiety. Shen Shi’s body trembled and he immediately regained his senses. A moment later, his gaze swept across the tall stone pillars around him again, and when he saw them standing upright as if they had drowned the ruins of this ancient village, a chill suddenly arose in Shen Shi’s heart.

A strange and gloomy buzzing sound suddenly came from the enormous radiance in the sky. Under the intense light, within the entire desolate and lifeless ruins, only Shen Shi and the Little Hei Pig stood there, appearing so abrupt and dazzling.

In an instant, the huge screen of light seemed to tremble for a moment, and then a large ball of light turned into a silver-white beam of light and flew towards Shen Shi. Shen Shi saw it clearly. It was actually countless palm-sized black insects that he had seen before, surging towards him like a flood.

Shen Shi was shocked. He immediately turned around and ran away. The huge swarm of insects in front of him was clearly a strange species that he had never heard of before in Wentian Secret Realm. Looking at the overwhelming might, Shen Shi was not even in the mood to fight with the swarm of insects for a moment. However, there was no place for him to hide in this desolate ruins. Just as he was panicking, Shen Shi suddenly saw Little Hei rushing over before him. He sprinted a few steps and immediately ran back to the entrance of the cellar and jumped down.

Shen Shi’s eyes instantly lit up. At this moment, he flew over. At the same time, he heard a strange buzzing sound sweeping through the sky. A brilliant and dazzling light rumbled over, as if a cold wind had already rushed not far behind him.

Shen Shi shouted and jumped into the cellar. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and grabbed onto the thick stone slab at the entrance. With a “bang”, he covered it with his back hand.

“Pa pa pa pa pa …”

In an instant, the sound of a collision was like a violent storm, crazily smashing into that extremely thick stone slab, causing one’s hair to stand on end. Beneath the cellar, it was once again sunk into darkness. There was no light, only low breathing sounds rising and falling in the darkness. One was Shen Shi, and the other was Little Hei.

They stood in the corridor below the entrance and raised their heads to look at the stone slab above. Although the stone slab had already been covered, no one knew if it could stop those strange and unknown insects. However, as time passed, the sound of the collision outside became slower and slower. It gradually weakened and soon became silent.

Shen Shi listened attentively for a while and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Although those strange insects looked incredibly powerful, it seemed that a single insect did not have any intelligence. Even if the only thing blocking them was a hard stone slab covering the ground, they did not seem to have any good ideas.

For the time being, it was considered safe. After pondering for a moment, Shen Shi brought Little Hei back to the cellar. At this moment, there was no light in the cellar. Of course, it was pitch black. Shen Shi was also worried that if there was any leakage here, it would be bad if he lit the fireball and was discovered by those strange insects outside. Therefore, he gave up this thought and took Little Hei to sit down at the entrance of the cellar.

Looking back on the day, If I’m not mistaken, those strange insects that inhabit the tall stone pillars should be strange creatures that hide in the daytime and emerge at night. Therefore, I still have to wait here for this night to pass. If these strange insects disappear when the sun rises tomorrow, then it might be possible to safely leave this ruins.

The pitch-black cellar was completely silent. Especially when the strange sounds above his head gradually disappeared from the ground, the underground secret room became even quieter. Shen Shi raised his head to look at the darkness in front of him. At the end of the stone room in that direction, there should still be a corpse of Demon race that had long since died.

Although he knew in his heart that it was a corpse that had been dead for countless years, However, thinking of living in the same room as a corpse at this extremely quiet time was still not something that made people feel comfortable. The darkness in front of them covered everything, and they could not even see their fingers. For some reason, it was as if the originally empty cellar had suddenly become somewhat dangerous.

Fortunately, at this moment, a low grunt came from Shen Shi’s side. It was Little Hei’s voice. It sounded as if it was not afraid of the surrounding environment. It was even somewhat impatient. It approached Shen Shi’s feet and rubbed his ankle with its head.

Shen Shi let out a long breath. For some reason, his heart relaxed a lot. He reached out and picked up the little pig. He gently touched the fur on its back and said, “Little Hei, we’ll wait here all night. We’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”

Little Hei seemed to have raised his head to look at him. Perhaps the darkness was too dense, or perhaps it was an illusion. For a moment, Shen Shi felt as if he had seen two of Little Hei’s eyes. One was slightly bright with a three-colored light, while the other was gray and silent. However, the darkness quickly surged over and covered everything.

Little Hei lowered his head again, put his head on his chest, and then fell asleep quietly.

Time quietly passed in silence. Shen Shi’s body suddenly trembled, but he woke up from his sleep. When he woke up, he was stunned and somewhat confused. Originally, he was sitting in such a dangerous place. He should have been sleepless all night, but for some reason, he fell asleep quietly in the silence last night.

It wasn’t just him, Xiao Hei was also the same. Up until now, he was still lying on the ground beside him, his head resting on his calf as he fell asleep.

Could this be a suitable place to sleep? Shen Shi secretly cursed in his heart. According to the habit he had cultivated for many years, although he was still in the cellar, he should wake up at dawn in the early morning. Shen Shi shook his head and stood up. He also woke Little Hei up. The lazy pig looked a little heartless. It opened its mouth and yawned. It sounded like it had not slept enough.

Shen Shi said angrily, “Stop sleeping. Let’s go out and take a peek and see if we can leave.”

As he spoke, he walked out of the corridor. Little Hei listened and followed.

Shen Shi was also a little nervous when he returned to the passageway at the entrance of the cellar. He grabbed the two stone walls and let Little Hei lie on his shoulders. He easily climbed to the stone slab at the entrance, but he did not open it immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment.

Were those insects creatures that came out of the daytime or at night? Could it be that they were mistaken?

After a while, he tilted his head slightly and whispered, “Little Hei, is there any movement outside?”

Not far above his head was the rough and thick stone slab. The Little Hei pig raised its head and sniffed, as if it had listened for a while, and then shook its head.

Shen Shi took a deep breath and no longer hesitated. He exerted strength in his hand and gently pushed open a crack in the stone slab.

A gentle light shone down from the crack, and the fresh air turned into a breeze that blew on their faces.

It was neither cold nor hot, and it even carried a faint moist aura that was rarely seen in the desert.

Everything was peaceful and quiet.

Shen Shi’s spirits were lifted. He stretched out his hand and pushed open the stone slab forcefully. He jumped out of the cave entrance. Sure enough, it was dawn, and a red sun was slowly sticking out from the east. The ruins of the village under the dawn seemed to have quieted down once more. All the strange insects that were dancing in the sky with silver light disappeared, leaving behind only a desolate expanse of yellow sand.

Shen Shi raised his head and looked at the tall stone pillars that had once again become lifeless. His pupils contracted slightly, but he did not dare to approach them anymore. He immediately brought Little Hei out of the ruins of the abandoned village and left the strange stone forest far away, heading towards the depths of the desert in another direction.

After a few miles away from those strange pillars, Shen Shi slowed down. His mood relaxed a little, Although the scene in front of him had returned to the dull scene of the sand dunes that rose and fell yesterday, compared to the desolate stone forest and ruins, such a scene was still more reassuring. Thinking of this, Shen Shi didn’t even feel that there was anything hateful about the sun that was rising above his head and making the desert hotter and hotter at the same time.

After walking for another ten kilometers, the ruins of the stone forest behind him had long since disappeared into the yellow sand. In front of him, Shen Shi suddenly saw a wisp of green, faintly disappearing into the yellow sand in front of him.

“Hmm? Could it be that there is an oasis here?” Although Shen Shi had never been to such desert places to explore in the past, he had seen some common knowledge about the desert from the scrolls. He knew that in the extremely hot desert, if there were clear springs and green trees, they would usually become oases. Those were rare paradises of life in the desert.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi’s spirits were also a little excited. He walked towards the faint oasis. No matter what, it looked better than walking in the boundless desert.

Not long after, he approached the green forest. Sure enough, he saw a forest of green trees ahead. Through the dense green branches and leaves, he could vaguely see a pool of water behind him. It looked exactly like the oasis recorded in the scroll.

After staying in this desolate desert for a long time, when he saw the green numbers, he immediately felt a pleasant sensation. Shen Shi hurriedly walked towards the forest. At the same time, he noticed that the edges of the oasis seemed to be very neat, showing a straight long line, separated from the yellow sand.

Seeing this scene at the edge of the forest, Shen Shi’s body paused for a moment. He felt a little puzzled. Although the scrolls did not mention anything about the edge of the oasis in the past, such a neat edge still seemed a little strange.

After pondering for a while, he still walked deeper into the forest. The faint sound of water came from the pool of water behind the forest, like the melodious and moist sound of a wind bell.

Shen Shi took two steps forward. Suddenly, his gaze narrowed. He saw several large nets in the middle of the forest that looked like they were woven from thick yellow ropes. They were knotted between the tall trees, and there was something on the nets. Upon closer inspection, Shen Shi inhaled a breath of cold air.

There were at least dozens of strange black insects stuck to each of the nets. It was exactly the kind he saw last night, but at this moment, it seemed that they had all lost their lives and were hanging in the eyes of the nets just like that.
