Killing God - Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Tranquility
“There may be a storm today. The villagers didn’t go fishing early in the morning. Although there are still some stocks of ghost-faced shrimp, they can only hide in the house when the storm comes. They can’t do anything else,” Starfish said as he raised his head to look at the clear blue sky.

Shen Shi was stunned. A moment later, he lifted his head to look at the cloudless sky. It was clear and translucent, and he couldn’t even see any white clouds. It was simply a sunny day. He pointed to the sky above his head and said to Hai Xing in disbelief, “Do you think it’s going to rain or wind in this weather?”

Hai Xing nodded and said, “Yes, and it will be very stormy later. You should go back early. It’s best to go back to the cave and not wander outside, especially along the coast.”

Seeing Hai Xing’s calm expression, Shen Shi couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. Could it be that what she said was true, and there would be a storm coming soon? However, at this moment, the sky was incomparably clear, and the sun was shining brightly. There was no sign of rain or wind at all.

Starfish didn’t dawdle with him. He came out today to inform Shen Shi that he didn’t bring any other shrimp cages, sharp knives, or sea bowls. He waved his hand at Shen Shi at this time and jumped back to Red Clam Village.

Shen Shi stood there for a moment, then looked up at the sky and muttered, “Who would believe that there would be a storm in this kind of weather?”

However, even so, Starfish made it clear that he had already made up his mind. Let me tell you something and you’ll stay where you are. Shen Shi was also helpless. He couldn’t rush to the Red Clam Village to search for the shrimp cage and then carelessly peel the shrimp for them, right?

Shen Shi ran over excitedly to prepare for a big fight, and then found that he couldn’t do anything for a seemingly unreliable reason. Shen Shi now deeply understood what it meant to take advantage of this and return with disappointment. After laughing bitterly in his heart for the bad start of his spirit crystal earning career, he could only turn around and leave.

On the way back to the Green Fish Market, the sky was still blue and cloudless. In the distance, the sound of waves washing the beach could be vaguely heard. However, as Shen Shi walked, he felt that his surroundings seemed to be quieter than usual.

He raised his head and looked around. After thinking for a moment, he discovered that the trees in the surrounding woods had been silent since an unknown time. On ordinary islands, the sea breeze was constant all year round, and they would often shake and make long-winded noises.

“It’s still raining heavily. Even the wind has stopped now!”

Shen Shi harrumphed angrily and became even more unconvinced by what Starfish said just now.

After returning to Qingyu Fair, Shen Shi only took a few steps. He discovered that the situation in Qingyu Fair seemed to be slightly different from usual. There seemed to be a lot fewer fellow disciples walking along the road, and many shops were closed. This also made his original intention to take this opportunity to visit the shops frustrated once again.

Why is everything not going well today?

However, looking at the way everyone was avoiding, could it be that what Hai Xing said was really possible?

Shen Shi muttered in his heart. He frowned and walked along the streets of Qingyu Fair. He arrived at the intersection of the two roads leading to Morning Star Hall and White Crane Hall. This was the liveliest place for herring gathering. There was a wooden board erected in the middle of the street. Occasionally, notices would be posted on it to announce some important matters to everyone.

Normally, because Shen Shi went to the remote Red Clam Village, he did not pass through this place. However, if it was really as Hai Xing had said, there would be a storm today and there would be no risk of going to the coast, there would definitely be a warning on the wooden token here. However, when he walked under the wooden token and looked at it, he saw that there was nothing on it.

“I told you, if something really happened, an announcement would have been posted here long ago.” Shen Shi immediately felt relieved. Since Lingxiao Sect didn’t warn him about the inexplicable storm, he naturally didn’t have much of a problem. At the same time, he secretly shook his head at the fuss in Red Clam Village.

Since there was nothing going on here, Shen Shi did not think of returning to the cave immediately. After all, he was unable to cultivate early in the morning. After pondering for a moment, Shen Shi decided to go to Sun You’s Spirit Beast Hall to take a look. In any case, he had said several times that he wanted to see him, but he hadn’t come. He could just go and see him himself when he was free today.

Shen Shi’s intentions were set, so he turned around and walked forward. The main entrances of the Ling Xiao Sect all had their own halls on Bluefish Island. The place where Sun You fed the beasts was naturally the Spirit Beast Hall. However, Shen Shi had been on Bluefish Island for many days. Apart from cultivating in the cave residence and going to Red Clam Village to peel shrimps all day long, he had never been to any other places. Of course, Ling Xiao had roughly marked some of the important locations on Bluefish Island. However, first, he hadn’t seen them for a few days, and secondly, Shen Shi hadn’t seriously memorized the address of the Spirit Beast Palace. For a moment, he felt that his memories were a bit blurry, so he could only rely on his rough impression to move forward. He planned to ask for help when he encountered someone on the way.

Not long after he left, two other disciples of the High Firmament Sect suddenly walked over from the deserted streets. They looked at the older senior apprentice-brothers, one tall and one short. At this moment, the tall one was frowning and said angrily to the short man, “Could it be that you were lazy and didn’t stick it on?”

The short disciple said with a grieved expression, “Senior Brother, I really came over early in the morning to post that notice.”

The two of them walked all the way to the wooden token. The tall man sneered and looked at the naked wooden token. “What about the thing you put up?” He said.

The short Lingxiao Sect disciple remained silent for a moment and smiled bitterly, “Perhaps … perhaps it was blown away by the wind?”

The tall senior apprentice-brother spat. At this moment, the surroundings were slightly dull. The streets were empty, but there wasn’t even a trace of wind. He said, “Where did the wind come from? Where can it go?”

The short man was so dejected and speechless by Senior Brother’s words that he reluctantly pasted a piece of white paper under his ribs onto the wooden token. This time, he was tightly pasted and didn’t dare to be careless.

Looking at him behaving honestly, Senior Brother Gao’s expression became better. He snorted and said, “Normally, I would tell you to be more down-to-earth in your work. Fortunately, I was on duty today and discovered it early. Otherwise, if Senior Brother Kang Chen sees this mistake, he would directly tell Senior Brother Wang Gen and punish you to the Sixth Island for a month’s hard work before coming back.”

The short junior apprentice-brother shrank his head. He seemed to be very afraid of the coolie work on the “Sixth Island” that senior apprentice-brother was talking about. The tall senior apprentice-brother glanced at the wooden tablet and thought for a moment before saying, “This announcement was posted a little late. I wonder if something will happen.”

The short junior brother thought for a moment and said, “Actually, nothing big will happen. Right now, the new junior brothers are all supervised by senior brothers. There are also senior brothers watching over all the important mission sites. Anyone who has been on this island for five years can’t be used to this storm. Even if we give them a subsidy notice, they still know how to dodge it.”

The tall senior brother nodded his head and said, “Well, it should be the same. Although the Vastsea Storm is ferocious, the island has been prepared for many years and most of it is fine. That is to say, the formation hall needs to collect spirit materials and send some rookies to pick up five-colored shells on the ebbing beach. If they can’t retreat, it will be a bit dangerous.” “However, there are also a few senior brothers guarding the formation hall, so there should be no harm in doing so.”

As he said that, his expression suddenly turned serious. He stared at the shorter junior brother who seemed to be at ease beside him and said, “Even so, you made a mistake today. Remember not to make such a mistake again in the future!”

The short junior brother nodded honestly and said, “I see, senior brother.” “Fortunately, Senior Brother Kang isn’t here these few days. Oh right, Senior Brother, do you know where Senior Brother Kang Chen went?”

The tall Lingxiao Sect disciple hesitated for a moment and said, “I heard that he made some mistakes on Golden Rainbow Mountain. He angered the Sect Leader and was detained.”

“Ah?” This was clearly the first time the short disciple had heard of this matter, and he was so shocked that he was speechless. The tall senior apprentice-brother glanced at him. He turned around and walked away. The short disciple followed behind him and muttered to himself for a while. He didn’t know if he was worried about Senior Brother Kang Chen or if he was talking about himself. After a while, he couldn’t help but look back at the wooden token and murmured, “Damn it, I really posted the notice on it early in the morning …”

Shen Shi walked all the way. He originally thought that if he encountered a passing senior brother or a fellow disciple who knew the address of the Spirit Beast Hall, he would ask them how to get there. Unexpectedly, he had walked a long way from that wooden token. For some reason, he had originally felt that there were a few people walking around in the Green Fish Market in Shanghai, but at this time, he actually didn’t encounter any of them.

“Where are everyone going? Are they all returning to their caves to cultivate in seclusion?” Shen Shi looked at his surroundings in confusion. He hesitated for a moment. He thought that Qingyu Fair had at least taken this path. Moreover, there were only a few important paths that led to Qingyu Fair. The chances of him taking the wrong path weren’t high, so he finally continued to walk forward.

Along the way, relying on Ling Xiao’s brief memories, Young Friend Sun’s beast feeding place should be located at the foot of a mountain on Green Fish Island on the western side of the island, close to the seaside, where he circled a large area, mainly raising low-grade spirit beasts.

“The west …” As Shen Shi walked out of Qingyu Fair, Seeing that there were actually two roads leading to the west, One was to the south and the other was to the north. It was not clear for a moment. However, after carefully looking into the distance, he discovered that the road to the south seemed to lead to a certain beach. However, it was somewhat far away and could not be seen clearly. The path to the north was smaller, and it winded towards a small hill in the northwest.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Shi decided to go southwest.

At the same time, in a beast farm at the foot of a mountain on Bluefish Island, Young Friend Sun frowned and tried his best to hold his breath. At the same time, he was dragging a large turtle to a cage on the high ground far away from the beast farm with a face full of misfortune.

The big turtle shell was black and had lines. From the looks of it, it was several times larger than an ordinary sea turtle. It could reach Sun You’s chest when standing upright. It was a low-grade spirit beast raised by the Spirit Beast Palace in Qingyu Island called the Black-striped Turtle. The turtle shell it carried was a very useful spirit material, so the number of spirit beasts raised in the Spirit Beast Palace wasn’t small.

Young Friend Sun grinned as he finally managed to drag the turtle to the cage on the high ground. He then looked up at the sky and saw that the sky above his head was still azure. However, there seemed to be a faint shadow in the distance from the sea level.

“It stinks! Why does a sea turtle like you stink so much!”

Sun You smelled the stench coming from his body and glared hatefully at the big turtle in the cage. The big turtle had been dragged all the way by him and had already shrunk its limbs and head into its hard shell. At this moment, it was secretly looking at this person in the hard shell and cursing. Suddenly, a voice came from the side,

“Ha, Second Brother, what are you complaining about here?” Before he could finish speaking, a handsome youth with a straight face walked out from another corner of the beast field. He walked to Young Friend Sun’s side and looked at him. Suddenly, a look of concern appeared on his face. He said,

“Eh, Second Brother, your expression isn’t too good. Isn’t it too hard to cultivate? Oh right, didn’t father give you a piece of Red Sleeved Agarwood before coming here? That thing is very calming and beneficial to your fatigue after cultivating. Don’t forget to use it.”

Young friend Sun’s hand, which was originally on the edge of the beast cage, suddenly tightened.
