Killing God - Chapter 51
Chapter 51 Cave
Rumbling sounds echoed throughout the world. The boundless might of heaven and earth seemed to show some clues at this moment. Faced with such a terrifying might, mortals were like ants, pitiful and helpless in the rolling waves.
Big trees and stones tumbled down one after another, struggling to flip over in the torrent of the sea water. The huge waves in the small bay were monstrous, like a giant demonic beast descending here, about to tear everything apart.
Shen Shi desperately ran towards the cave. The terrifying rumbling sound of water was already behind him, even beneath his feet. At this moment, there were already water stains everywhere.
In the wind and rain, the sound of breathing seemed to be drowned out. At the critical moment of life and death, who would be distracted from recalling the past? The huge waves roared, and if they were a step slower, they might die here.
Near, near, near again …
Whether it was the cave ahead or the terrifying waves behind him.
The waves were rolling, and the water vapor seemed to be rolling in his ears. His clothes were completely wet, as if it was going to be swept away by the big waves in the next moment. The black cave was also very close to him. Shen Shi suddenly shouted. He used all of his strength and jumped forward. With a scream from Zhong Qingzhu, he staggered towards the cave. Finally, he was in danger and barely managed to get into the cave.
The stone wall was hard and dark. When they fell on the hard rock in the cave, they heard an incomparably loud collision sound behind them. It was a monstrous wave that heavily smashed into the mountain wall. At that moment, it was as if the entire cliff wall was trembling and shaking.
Perhaps all living things would be shattered into powder under the impact of this terrifying force.
However, before the two of them could regain their senses, Shen Shi heard Zhong Qingzhu’s shrill scream,
“Water! Water, water rushed in …”
Shen Shi abruptly turned his head. However, darkness suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Immediately after, he felt a huge wave of lightning and flint pounding towards his face. His body instantly lightened, and then he completely lost control. A powerful current carried him into the depths of the cave.
In the chaos, it was as if heaven and earth were spinning. His body was constantly rolling. In the darkness, he was still holding onto that soft palm. At some unknown time, the girl had also turned her hand over. She was like a life-saving straw, tightly holding onto him and refusing to let go.
However, the current was so swift that it was compressed by the narrow stone wall after rushing into the cave. The force was even more shocking. The two of them were completely unable to control their bodies. In just a short moment, they were brought far away by the violent current. However, this inconspicuous cave was actually very deep. The water flowed straight into it for a long time without a bottom. The two of them were knocked into the hard stone wall in the darkness by the water. They were covered in bruises and bones were not sure if they had broken.
There were only two palms. They were tightly clutching at the critical moment of life and death. In the icy cold water, it was as if only the other party was the only warm and pitiful support. However, under this terrifying power that was like the heavens and the earth shattering, people were like ants and their bodies were like duckweed. Finally, before their minds gradually blurred, they separated their palms and disappeared.
With a muffled bang, Shen Shi, who had already fallen into despair, even though he was struggling to breathe in the water, finally fainted and was unconscious after being heavily smashed into a hard stone wall again.

Bluefish Concentrated Pavilion Sun Hall.
At this time, the entire Qingyu Island was already drowned by the storm. Dark clouds were lowered, thunder rumbled, and the calm Vastsea seemed to be venting all of its anger that it had gathered for a long time. The violent winds tightened for a while, and heavy rain poured down, dyeing the heavens and the earth into a gray color.
The tall and sturdy Wang Gen stood in the study room, staring at the blurry world outside the window. He hadn’t moved for a long time, and even his eyes that were looking at an unknown place in the distance seemed to gradually become blurry.
A strong wind blew over, carrying rain that filled the sky. It lingered outside the window, but every time it wanted to rush into the window and wet his entire body, an invisible force would form a wall, gently blocking him from taking a step forward.
“Pa pa pa pa” Someone knocked lightly on the door outside the room. Wang Gen withdrew his gaze from afar and silently said, “Come in.”
“Squeak!” The door of the study room was pushed open. The person who entered was a tall man dressed as a disciple of the High Firmament Sect. He was the one who went to post the notice with another short junior brother a while ago. Wang Gen turned around and looked at him. He nodded and said, “Junior Brother Zheng is here. Sit down.”
This disciple of the High Firmament Sect, who he called Junior Brother Zheng, was called Zheng Zhe. He had always been close to Wang Gen, and was Wang Gen’s right hand man in charge of the affairs on Green Fish Island. He was also called Wang Gen’s right hand man along with Kang Chen.
The two of them had a good relationship, so Zheng Zhe and Wang Gen were relatively casual when they were alone. He nodded and agreed, then walked to the side and sat down.
Wang Gen closed the window and shut the storm outside. Then, he turned around and sat down in front of Zheng Zhe and said, “How is it going?”
“The storm sign has been put up, Then I ran a few more important places, The array hall, pill hall, mine, demon cave, and beast farm of Spirit Beast Hall were all personally there to take a look. They also warned the junior brothers stationed there to not relax. After all, the rookies who just arrived this year had only been on the island for more than ten days. They probably hadn’t seen the storms of the Vast Seas before, so it would be bad if they accidentally encountered any accidents. ”
Wang Gen nodded and said, “Indeed, you are careful. I am naturally relieved.” After saying that, he paused for a moment, then said, “Have you all gathered the number of people at the entrances of the hall?”
Zheng Zhe said, “Most of the heads have been counted. There are no gaps. Only the array hall that I went to first. Because I was sending people to Caibei Beach to call the rookies’ disciples to turn around, it was one after another. I was in a hurry to go to other places to check, so I left first. However, the two junior brothers on duty at the array hall are both sincere and cautious people. There shouldn’t be any mistakes.”
Wang Gen smiled and said, “That should be the case. After all, most of the rookie disciples picking up shells over there are disciples from aristocratic families. If anything happens to any one of them, it might be a lot of trouble. Zhong and Xu are also from aristocratic families. I’m sure they know this very well.”
Zheng Zhe coughed and didn’t answer.
Wang Gen glanced at him and didn’t say anything else. The study seemed to have quieted down. The sound of the wind and rain outside the room was eager and wild, as if it had gradually penetrated through.
After a while, Zheng Zhe said, “Senior Brother, it has been several days since Kang Chen went to Jinhong Mountain. He hasn’t returned yet. Could it be that he has really been detained and punished?”
Wang Gen’s eyes lit up. After a while, he slowly shook his head and said, “I didn’t know that Junior Brother Kang is the sect master’s beloved disciple. He and Senior Brother Du call him Daoist Huaiyuan’s two jades. I’m sure that he wouldn’t be punished too heavily even if he was wrong.”
Zheng Zhe nodded as if he was relieved, but the corner of his eyes seemed to look at Wang Gen inadvertently. A moment later, Wang Gen seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Zheng Zhe and asked, “Oh right, what did Junior Brother Lin say about the notice of disappearance?”
Zheng Zhe shook his head and said, “I’ve asked him many times, but Junior Brother Lin insisted that he had indeed posted the notice this morning. There’s no way he could have made a mistake.”
Wang Gen snorted coldly and said, “Then why did it disappear afterwards?”
Zheng Zhe smiled bitterly and said, “I asked him the same question. Junior Brother Lin was stunned and couldn’t answer. He just insisted that he had posted it and said that someone might have intentionally harmed him.”
Wang Gen frowned and said, “Nonsense, who would harm him?”
Zheng Zhe shrugged.
Wang Gen remained silent for a moment and said, “The rookies have entered the island. I have just taken over the affairs of Qingyu Island. There are many things that I have to deal with. I don’t have the time to argue with him. Go back and tell him that he must be serious next time. If he is so impetuous and misbehaves, I won’t let him off a second time.”
Zheng Zhe nodded and said, “Yes, I will explain it to Junior Brother Lin.”
Wang Gen thought for a moment and then said, “You should go to the Array Hall later to make sure that they have counted all the newbies. If the truth turns out to be unsightly, I’m afraid I’ll eat them up in front of the sect’s elders soon after the newbies enter the island.”
Zheng Zhe nodded and agreed. Then he stood up and said, “Since that’s the case, I might as well go to the Array Hall now. Senior Brother, just wait for my news.”
Wang Gen also stood up and gently patted Zheng Zhe’s shoulder, saying, “Thank you Junior Brother.”
Zheng Zhe grinned and walked out of the study without any courtesy. As the door closed behind him, Wang Gen walked to the window again and slowly pushed it open.
Seeing this storm that filled the sky, it was like sobbing and complaining. Within the rain and rain, the vast expanse actually covered the majestic green mountain.
Wang Gen silently looked into the distance, looking at the blurry shadow behind the heavy rain curtain. He was stunned, as if he was deep in thought.

In the darkness, Shen Shi let out a painful snort and slowly woke up from his fainting.
Living or dead, this thought came to his mind the first time he opened his eyes. When it entered his eyes, there was a deep darkness, as if he could not see any light. It made him feel as if he had fallen into the underworld of hell in a trance.
A moment later, Suddenly, dozens of places all over his body started to ache, Shen Shi instantly shuddered in the darkness. At the same time, he also woke up from his shock. This pain was so real, and there were so many injuries on his body. It must have been caused by the impact of the water on the hard stone wall just now. It seemed like he had somehow escaped a calamity and managed to survive by luck.
However, the surroundings were completely dark, and he didn’t know where he was. Shen Shi felt pain everywhere, as well as a faint chill coming from his body.
He sucked in a breath of cold air, He calmed down and sat up reluctantly. Then, he stretched out his hand in the darkness. The tentacles were ice-cold, as if he had touched a puddle of water. Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He casually moved his body and felt around for a while. Sure enough, he found that the surroundings were filled with shallow water about a foot deep. It was as if he had been washed into a small pond or on the shore.
Shen Shi didn’t dare to randomly move in the darkness for a moment. After all, the surroundings were unfamiliar. He didn’t know where it was, and if there would be anything dangerous. He just sat there motionlessly. For a moment, he didn’t care about sitting in the water and felt somewhat uncomfortable. He began to try his best to recall the situation before he fainted.
Moments later, he thought of another important matter. He wasn’t the only one who fell into such a desperate situation and was swallowed up by the huge waves and rushed into the cave.
Where’s Zhong Qingzhu?
