Killing God - Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Excuse Me
As one of the many Qi Refining Realm disciples who had come to Demon Island on this day, The only Dao Cultivator was only an Intermediate Qi Refining Realm cultivator. Shen Shi had also returned the earliest. Apparently, those senior brothers and sisters were far more durable than him. That was why he had waited on this ship for a long time. It was almost dusk when he saw someone walk out of the dense forest on Demon Island.

After the first batch of people returned, it was as if they had made an agreement. One after another, people came out of the demon island and returned to the boat. Shen Shi sat at the side and quietly looked at these senior brothers and sisters. He discovered that they rarely traveled alone. Even the two of them were rare. Most of the time, they saw several people accompanying each other.

On the faces of these Qi Refining Realm disciples who went deep into the Demon Island, Most of them had an unconcealable sense of exhaustion, However, at the same time, they had brought back quite a few spoils of war. Shen Shi looked carefully for a while and discovered that most of them were within the fifty-five types of spirit materials. However, it seemed that their value should be between ten and thirty spirit crystals. As for those spirit materials that could be exchanged for fifty spirit crystals or more, none of them were considered high-grade spirit materials.

However, aside from a few people who didn’t seem to be getting good harvests, most of the Qi Refining Realm disciples still had a satisfied smile on their faces. They were also chatting happily with each other, or looking at the spirit materials they had harvested and discussing with each other with smiles on their faces.

At dusk, under the setting sun, the afterglow of the setting sun covered the deck of the ship with a faint yellowish glow, reflecting every face with a satisfied or somewhat depressed expression. Shen Shi smiled. Suddenly, he felt that this kind of life seemed to be very good. Even earlier today, he had faced ferocious demonic beasts.

As the last batch of Qi Refining disciples finally rushed back before dark, a group of four, including the beautiful disciple Chen Tang who had been taken advantage of by Lin Hu during the day, the ship finally slowly lifted the anchor and turned to sail in the direction of Qingyu Island.

On the deck, the last group of people who came back seemed to be very familiar with each other. They were familiar with most of the people who came back earlier, especially that beauty Chen Tang. She seemed to have a faint intention of being the center of the crowd. Many male disciples surrounded her to greet her warmth.

Chen Tang and the others also chatted with the crowd while smiling. At the same time, they showed off the spirit materials they had harvested here. However, there weren’t many items. From a distance, it seemed like there was only one item from Shen Shi’s side. However, a moment later, the deck was in a commotion. At the same time, several people shouted,

“This thing … could it be the rhino horn of the Earth Spirit Consonance?”

“You can even hunt the ‘Consonance Horn’. Senior Sister Chen, you guys are too powerful!”

…

Hearing this wave of discussion, Shen Shi, who was sitting in a remote corner, was also shocked. He couldn’t help but stand up and take two steps forward. He looked carefully. Sure enough, in the crack of the crowd, he saw Senior Sister Chen Tang holding a large brown horn on her fair palm. It was about three meters long. It looked thick and heavy. The horn shone with a faint brilliance. It looked like a pair of spirit materials that were not ordinary.

Shen Shi stared at the rhinoceros horn for a while. He was also slightly surprised. This rhinoceros horn was a unique item of a demonic beast called Earth Rhinoceros on the demonic island. It was extremely rare. It was ranked very high among the 55 spirit materials on the Demon Catching List, but this rhinoceros horn could be exchanged for up to 140 spirit crystals.

However, although the Spirit Consonance Horn was expensive, the Earth Spirit Consonance was a Second Grade demonic beast. It was extremely ferocious. Although it hadn’t reached the Third Grade demonic beast realm that had condensed the demonic core, its strength was boundless and incomparably ferocious. It had always been considered one of the most difficult demonic beasts to deal with on island. To think that Chen Tang and the others would actually be able to kill such a ferocious demonic beast.

For a moment, everyone around exclaimed in admiration and praise. Chen Tang and the other three male disciples were all smiling, and they were obviously very satisfied with their harvest.

One hundred and forty spirit crystals! Shen Shi’s eyes shone as he looked at the Consonance Horn from the side. He was filled with envy, and the ship sailed into the depths of the sea in such a joyful and gentle atmosphere.

The day passed quietly, Shen Shi stood back at the side of the ship on the deck and accidentally turned around to look at the demon island. He saw that the huge island was gradually fading into darkness in the twilight, as if it was about to fall into a quiet slumber. Only a few faint roars of beasts from the depths of the island reminded people that every late night was the most dangerous time for the demon island.

When they returned to Green Fish Island, it was already dark. After everyone got off the boat, they dispersed. Shen Shi carried two pieces of armoured armadillos’ bone armor and walked all the way back to White Fish Bay.

The bay under the night was peaceful and quiet. The waves surged in the boundless darkness, gently surging onto the beach and quietly retreating. Above him, there were starlight and broken clouds that illuminated the path beneath his feet, guiding Shen Shi all the way back to his cave.

The two battles with the armoured armadillo in the daytime had exhausted his eyebrows’ spiritual energy. However, after a full day’s rest on the ship, his spiritual energy had completely recovered by this time, and his spirit was not bad either. After opening the stone door and placing the two pieces of bone armor on the stone platform at the side of the cave, Shen Shi pondered for a moment. Finally, he turned around and left the cave. Instead, he walked back along the road until he arrived in front of the “A 48” stone room, which was seven caves away from him.

Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu, two sisters of the Zhong Clan, Living in the two caves right in front of him, Even though we’re here in Qingyu Island, In the past three years, he had known them, but Shen Shi had never entered their cave. Moreover, of the two young girls, he was naturally better off with Zhong Qingzhu, who had a good temper and a gentle temperament. As for Zhong Qinglu, who had a bad temper and a sharp mouth, she would usually satirize him. Shen Shi had always been somewhat respectful and distant.

However, he didn’t expect that he would actually stand in front of Zhong Qinglu’s door tonight.

Alright, who told her that she actually had some ability to refine pills!

Shen Shi thought in his heart. He reached out and patted the stone door of Zhong Qinglu’s cave a few times. “Bang! Bang!” The sound echoed in the night sky. It was deep but unexpectedly clear. It seemed that it had spread far, far, far, far, far away, which shocked Shen Shi himself.

After a while, the outside and inside of the stone door were completely silent, without any reaction.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He raised his head to look at the sky. Although it was not yet late at night, it was already late at night. Logically speaking, most people should be in their caves at this time. However, he suddenly remembered that he had accidentally met Zhong Qinglu on the beach a few days ago, late at night. Could it be that this woman actually had a strange habit of wandering around in the middle of the night …

With this thought in his heart, Shen Shi hesitated for a moment. He still raised his head and patted the stone door a few more times. He thought to himself that if he did not react this time, he would have to go back first. He would come back to find Zhong Qinglu tomorrow during the day.

“Bang!”

Shen Shi was shocked. He turned around and looked around. Everything around him was as usual, as if nothing strange had happened. Just as he was surprised, he heard a rumbling sound and the stone door in front of him suddenly opened.

Shen Shi took a step back, feeling somewhat nervous in his heart. He looked at the stone door in front of him and saw a figure standing behind it.

Shen Shi laughed dryly and said, “Junior Sister Zhong, I have the audacity to disturb you. I came here to ask you … eh?”

His voice suddenly stopped. He stared at the girl in front of him with his eyes wide open. He was speechless for a moment.

Standing behind the door was naturally the owner of the cave, Zhong Qinglu. Her figure was slender and beautiful, and she was a familiar figure. However, at this moment, half of her slightly plump white face was dyed with black grey. Her face was half black and half white, and it was extremely strange and somewhat funny.

Zhong Qinglu stood coldly at the door, her bright eyes staring straight at Shen Shi, causing him to feel a little anxious. After a while, she heard Zhong Qinglu coldly say, “What are you doing here?”

Shen Shi laughed dryly. He wanted to move his gaze away, but he couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Zhong Qinglu’s strange face and said, “I heard that you recently refined a batch of Qi Nourishing Pills. I thought …”

Zhong Qinglu stared at him with a hostile gaze. For some reason, that gaze made Shen Shi feel much sharper than usual. It was like a knife, unable to speak for a moment.

A moment later, Zhong Qinglu gritted her teeth and said, “I refined the Qi Nourishing Pill. What does it have to do with you?”

“Uh” Shen Shi really didn’t know how to respond. Normally, although he also knew that Zhong Qinglu had a bad temper, she seemed to be in a strange rage tonight. Every word she said made him feel the urge to turn around and leave.

However, everyone had arrived and stood in front of Zhong Qinglu’s stone room. Shen Shi sighed in his heart. He wanted to finish speaking clearly. Even if Zhong Qinglu had a strange temper and did not dump him, it would not be too late to leave. After all, he was still very eager for that Qi Nourishing Pill in his heart.

“Junior Sister Zhong, I wanted to buy some Qi Nourishing Pills from you.”

Zhong Qinglu stared at him for a while. Without saying a word, However, the expression in his eyes and face was extremely hard to see. It seemed as if she could charge out and kick Shen Shi’s leg in the next moment, causing Shen Shi to feel a little scared. However, Zhong Qinglu did not do so in the end. On the contrary, she suddenly moved aside and pointed at the stone room behind her with a frosty expression. “There’s the Qi Nourishing Pill you wanted,” she said.

Shen Shi was stunned. Zhong Qinglu didn’t react for a moment. Her gaze followed the direction of her finger and looked into the stone room. She was immediately shocked. There was a two-foot pill furnace on the ground in the middle of the cave. It was not big and should be the smallest pill furnace in the pill hall. It was usually specially used by new disciples to learn pill refining.

However, at this moment, the pill furnace was in a miserable state. Not to mention, there were several obvious cracks on the furnace’s body. The ground was covered in black ash. From the half-oblique furnace entrance, several black round objects rolled onto the ground, and a burnt stench floated around it.

“This” Shen Shi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and sweat faintly appeared on his forehead.
