Killing God - Chapter 447_END
Chapter 447 Opportunity
Entering this stone room, he saw that although this was where the Blood Fang Tribe’s Clan Chief lived, Shen Shi did not see anything particularly beautiful or exquisite in the room. Rocks could be seen everywhere, including some stone arks, stone shelves, and other daily necessities. It seemed that the Blood Fang Tribe was used to living in this wilderness and was accustomed to using local materials.
The room was quite spacious, but there weren’t any people on the first floor. Iron Monkey didn’t have any strange expressions on his face. He seemed to have expected this. He brought Shen Shi to the side of the room, where there was a stone staircase leading to the second floor. After walking all the way up, there was a corridor in front of them. There was not even a guardrail. If one looked carelessly, they might fall directly. However, judging from the bodies of the Iron Monkeys and the Bloodfanged Monstrous Clans, it didn’t seem like they would have much trouble falling from such a high altitude.
At this point, Iron Monkey’s expression became a little solemn. He brought Shen Shi to the middle of the corridor. There was a gate. He walked over and stood at the door. Iron Monkey raised his voice and bowed to the inside. He said,
“Patriarch, we’re back.”
Shen Shi followed behind Tie Hou. He stood at the door and looked inside. He saw that the stone house on the second floor was very bright and brightly lit, because this stone house was very strange. There were only three walls.
To be exact, apart from the stone walls on the left and right of the gate, it was completely empty on the north side of the tribe. With a single glance, they could see a vast expanse of wilderness in the north, and their view was excellent.
In this stone house, there was a person sitting with his back facing them, that was, facing the wilderness in the north. When he heard the voice of the iron monkey, he turned around and looked over.
Shen Shi’s gaze immediately fell on this person. That person was an ox-headed demon. His eyes were very large, but both his gaze and body looked like an old man from the past. Above his head, a pair of horns were coiled around his head. However, one of the horns had been broken in half. It was unknown if it was caused by injuries sustained when he was young.
This seemed to be the chief of the Blood Fang Tribe. Shen Shi had already known from the mouth of the Iron Monkey that after successive generations of patriarchs took office, they would obtain the title of “Blood Fang”. Seeing Iron Monkey respectfully walk forward to salute, Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, then slightly bent over and said, “Greetings, Blood Fang Clan Chief.”
The Blood Fang Patriarch naturally saw Shen Shi as well. He was slightly surprised by this stranger and his appearance was clearly quite different from that of the people in the tribe. He sized Shen Shi up and down for a while, and then asked Tie Hou, “Tie Hou, he is …”
Tie Hou hurriedly took a step forward and roughly explained what happened to Shen Shi from beginning to end. Finally, he said, “I think we haven’t seen outsiders here for many years, so we decided to invite him over as a guest. Please take a look.”
The Blood Fang Patriarch’s expression eased up a little. He nodded slightly and said, “I see.” After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Shen Shi and said, “This guest, you said to Iron Monkey, are you from the Ghost Wizard Tribe?”
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat and he said, “Yes. Could it be that the Patriarch has heard of my tribe?” As he spoke, he stared fixedly at the Ox-Head Patriarch, hoping to see some clues from his face.
However, the Blood Fang Clan’s Clan Chief pondered for a moment before shaking his head. He didn’t seem to have any impression of the Ghost Wizard Clan that Shen Shi had mentioned. He said, “I’ve never heard of it.”
Shen Shi remained silent for a moment, not knowing what to say. Then, the Blood Fang Clan’s Clan Chief began to question Shen Shi. It could be seen that he was very curious about Shen Shi’s origin and even his clan identity. Perhaps it was because the Blood Fang Clan had lived alone in this wilderness for too long.
When the Blood Tooth Patriarch asked where Shen Shi came from, Of course, Shen Shi can’t say that I’m a disciple of the Four Righteous Famous Clans, Ling Xiao Sect, who came from the secret realm passageway opened by the Ancient Mang Mirage Pearl. Therefore, after pondering for a moment, he said that he came from the far south. The reason he traveled so far was because he was born to travel and explore. He accidentally accidentally entered that great desert. Finally, he met Iron Monkey and Mountain Wolf in that oasis.
The Bloodfang Clan Chief was shocked. He couldn’t help but ask about the situation in Shen Shi’s hometown. The Bloodfang Clan’s area of activity was so large. According to what the Iron Monkey told Shen Shi, they had never left that desert. The furthest distance was the oasis they met last time.
Shen Shi’s mind spun, and he immediately began to describe the situation regarding his “hometown”. However, he spoke of these seemingly illusory things very smoothly and naturally, because in reality, what he was talking about at this time was the matter at the Black hell Mountain in the Demon Realm.
Beneath the enormous mountain range, on the vast land, there lived a large number of demon tribes, strong and weak, each surviving and developing. Occasionally, there would be tribal strife and bloody wars between the tribes. In order to see how these Bloodfang Tribes reacted to the outside world, Shen Shi even called out the names of many tribes in the Demon Realm one by one.
The White Monkey Tribe, the Stone Pig Tribe, the Blood Wolf Tribe, the Spirit Cat Tribe, the Illusory Fox Tribe, the Giant Bear, the Flower Leopard, and the Red Tiger … Of course, the two most powerful tribes were also included, the Azure Snake Tribe and the Black Phoenix Tribe.
As the Blood Fang Clan Chief listened, his bull eyes widened, and his curiosity grew unabated. Even the Iron Monkey, who was sitting beside him, revealed a look of surprise and yearning. However, when Shen Shi saw the expressions of these two people, he was obviously extremely shocked. However, he did not have any unusual reactions towards the names of those tribes.
It seemed that they truly did not understand the situation of the demons outside, and did not know anything about the real demons.
For some reason, Shen Shi’s voice slowly lowered.
After listening to what Shen Shi said, the Blood Fang Clan’s Clan Chief remained silent for a long time before finally sighing. “So … there are actually so many people of the same clan outside the desert. We thought that for many years, only we could survive here under the protection of the Dragon God.”
Shen Shi took the opportunity to ask about the situation of the Bloodfang Tribe. Perhaps it was because of what Shen Shi had said earlier that the Bloodfang Tribe’s Clan Chief’s mood stirred. He had unknowingly treated this young man as one of his own and was much less wary. Therefore, he had told Shen Shi about the Bloodfang Tribe.
Although most of it was the same as what the Iron Monkey Mountain Wolf had said before, as the Patriarch, he naturally knew more about it. Thus, Shen Shi finally learned about the ancient legends of the Blood Fang Tribe. It was said that there was a heaven-shaking battle between gods and devils in ancient times, causing heaven and earth to collapse and poison the earth. The dragon wilderness was originally a fertile land with plentiful water plants, but it was contaminated by the blood of the Abyss Devils and turned into this desolate place.
The final result of the battle was that the omnipotent Dragon God defeated the evil devil and suppressed it forever. The only survivors of the earth-shattering battle had formed the Bloodfang Tribe. Under the protection of the Dragon God, they settled down in this wilderness and guarded the gates for the Dragon God to suppress the devil forever.
Listening to this ancient legend, Shen Shi wasn’t too surprised. Whether it was the human race or the demon race, there were similar myths in history. He had heard of them before. It was just that the protagonists changed their supporting roles, and the plot of the story was similar. However, when he heard this, he was suddenly stunned. He looked at the Blood Fang Patriarch in astonishment and said, “Guard the demon?”
The Blood Fang Patriarch smiled faintly. He stood up and beckoned for Shen Shi to walk over. Then, he walked with him to the north of the empty room. He saw a vast expanse of land in front of him. The world was gray and the wilderness seemed to stretch endlessly to the end of the world within his line of sight.
The Bloodfang Clan’s Clan Chief stretched out his hand and pointed at the endless wilderness in the north. He calmly said, “That demon was suppressed in the depths of the dragon wilderness. Our mission as a Blood Fang Clan is to guard this place and not allow anyone to enter.”

When he came down from the stone house, Shen Shi’s mood was somewhat complicated. Just now, the Blood Fang Clan’s Clan Chief had already invited him to be a guest in this tribe. He also had Iron Monkey inform the other Blood Fang Clansmen that Shen Shi was a rare guest.
This was naturally an acknowledgement of Shen Shi’s identity. Thus, after the Iron Monkey told the other Blood Fang tribesmen about this, most of the Bloodfang tribe’s demons immediately became much friendlier to Shen Shi. Some of the demon children even ran over and stood beside Shen Shi curiously watching.
Apart from that, the Blood Fang Clan’s Clan Chief even directly allocated a small stone house for Shen Shi to live in. Although the stone house was at the edge of the tribal camp and had not been occupied for a long time, the kindness of the house could still be clearly seen. However, Shen Shi was somewhat hesitant in his heart, because he had entered this Heaven Seeking Secret Realm in order to find an opportunity that would allow him to cultivate even higher. Currently, this Bloodfang Tribe was mysterious and strange, which made him very curious. However, seeing that the demons in this tribe weren’t particularly powerful, and he didn’t feel or discover anything special in the campsite.
Perhaps this was just an ordinary demon tribe in the unpredictable Heaven Seeking Secret Realm?
Perhaps he should leave this place and continue searching for his own fortune?
Shen Shi’s mood was somewhat conflicted. As he left the chief’s stone house with the Iron Monkey, He accidentally discovered something he had overlooked before, The entire Bloodfang tribal camp was made up of stone houses. There were no walls or fences around the camp that could defend against foreign objects. Only in the northern part of the camp, with the patriarch’s stone house as the center, there was a half-man-tall stone wall that extended several dozen feet from each side.
The stone wall looked old and shabby, After experiencing the wind and frost, and short, It was as if anyone in the Blood Fang Tribe, even a child, They could easily cross over, but after observing Shen Shi’s journey back and forth, he discovered that the entire Bloodfang Tribe included curious and active children. Not a single one of them would approach the broken wall, let alone cross that invisible line and take a step towards the north of the tribal camp.
He inadvertently glanced into the depths of the vast wilderness to the north of the dragon wilderness. Everything seemed to be ordinary, no different from the scenery he had seen on his way here. Shen Shi curled his lips in his heart. He wondered if this legend was true, but with the strength of the Bloodfang Tribe, how could they guard the legendary demon that was as powerful as heaven defying? Or perhaps even that demon was actually extremely weak …
Thinking of this, Shen Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He wondered why he really took this matter seriously. This was clearly just an ancient legend of an ordinary demon tribe. It seemed that it was not appropriate for him to stay here for a long time. He should set off early to search for opportunities.
However, just as he thought of the word “lucky” in his heart, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Then, as if a ball of flame had suddenly burned in his heart, he couldn’t help but think:
Perhaps … could the legendary demon be some kind of lucky chance?
