Killing God - Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Luck
After walking past the long seawall, Shen Shi followed behind the twenty plus high-level Qi Refining Realm disciples and watched them walk towards the depths of the Demon Island without hesitation. At first, Gan Ze seemed to have some hesitation. He once looked at the beaches on the left and right. He didn’t know if it was his first time coming to Demon Island, but now he was looking around. However, Lin Hu, who had been accompanying him all this while, carelessly brought him into the depths of Demon Island. It was as if the heavens had fallen and I was helping you.

Shen Shi looked over there from afar and shook his head. He sighed with admiration that after his life was different from his own, he still obediently followed the previous path and walked towards the beach on the right side alone.

Although this was the second time he had come to Demon Island, Shen Shi still seemed to be a little nervous. As he walked on the beach, he carefully looked at the surrounding situation, especially at the edge of the dense forest. Any movement of wind and grass in the dense vegetation there could cause a demonic beast to jump out.

The waves gently surged onto the beach not far away. The clear sea water was covered in white water, and a few shells appeared in the sand. Everything seemed to be so calm.

The sound of water, the sound of wind, and the faint howls of mournful beasts coming from the depths of the distant Demon Island seemed to be the only sound left in the world. Shen Shi walked slowly and spared the bay he had come to last time. He saw an armored armadillo digging something on the beach with a single glance.

He immediately stopped. Then, his first reaction was not to attack the demonic beast, but to carefully look around. Only when he was sure that there was only such a demonic beast in his surroundings did he feel relieved.

With his current abilities, water archery was the only method he could rely on. Although the body brought about by a middle-level Qi Refining Realm cultivator was much stronger than an ordinary person’s, it was still too early to fight a demonic beast head on. At the very least, he had to cultivate to a high-level Qi Refining Realm cultivator. Perhaps, he would only be able to fight against such a low-level demonic beast.

The armoured armadillo buried itself in digging, as if it was looking for food. It didn’t know what was buried in the sand that would make it so interested, and it looked like it couldn’t wait.

Shen Shi was somewhat puzzled, but he still carefully leaned over. At the same time, he held his breath and slowly raised his palm. The water archery technique had already begun to slowly circulate.

The demonic beast had always had a keen sense of hearing. The armoured armadillo quickly noticed that something was amiss in its surroundings. It immediately raised its head from the sand and saw Shen Shi leaning over. Its eyes immediately revealed a ferocious light as it let out a low roar.

Shen Shi stopped and looked at the pile of sand beneath the armoured armadillo. However, it was obscured by the sand and the armoured armadillo’s body. In a hurry, he could not see it clearly. He could only vaguely see some round white shadows. However, in the next moment, the armoured armadillo, who seemed to be enraged by Shen Shi, rushed over with a roar.

Shen Shi’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the figure of the armored armadillo charging over. A transparent stream of water had already appeared in his right palm.

The tidal waves of the sea seemed to have suddenly disappeared into the distance. Everything in the world quieted down. At this moment, all he could feel was this ferocious demonic beast.

Its eyes revealed a ferocious light. In the blink of an eye, it had already rushed in front of Shen Shi. With a loud roar, it flew over. At this moment, Shen Shi waved his wrist and the water archery technique he had prepared for a long time shot out. It accurately and decisively rushed into the demonic beast’s throat.

The armored armadillo let out a painful roar as its massive and heavy body fell from mid-air. Its thick claws covered its throat and screamed as it rolled on the ground.

Shen Shi took two steps back and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

The Armored Armadillo didn’t struggle for much longer and quickly died without moving. Shen Shi waited patiently for a while before slowly walking over. After confirming that the demonic beast was indeed dead, he wasn’t in a hurry to peel off the bone armor. Instead, he left the demonic beast’s side and quickly walked to the cave the Armored Armadillo had dug on the beach and looked down.

A demonic beast like the Armored Armadillo was born to be an expert in digging holes. Especially its two thick and powerful forelimbs, it could quickly and forcefully dig out a large hole in the flat ground. The sand on the beach in front of Shen Shi was soft and soft, not to mention the armoured armadillo. Therefore, what was displayed in front of Shen Shi was a huge pit that was over three feet wide. The sand was scattered around the pit in a messy manner. The bottom of the pit was still sand, but under some loose piles of sand, there was still some white.

Shen Shi squatted down and looked carefully. Then, he jumped into the pit and dug up some sand with his hands. A moment later, a few large white eggs appeared in front of him. Each of them was about the size of an adult’s palm, making it look very shocking.

Shen Shi picked up a big egg with both hands and took it to his eyes for a closer look. He pondered for a moment before revealing a smile at the corner of his mouth. He said to himself, “Good luck.”

If he remembered correctly, these large white eggs were the eggs of a low-grade demonic beast, the Black-striped Turtle. They were also ranked among the fifty-five spirit materials in the demon hunt mission. As for the use of these turtle eggs, they weren’t used for consuming spirit materials. Instead, they were purchased from the Spirit Beast Palace. After buying these turtle eggs back, they would use secret methods to hatch them and then raise them. When the black-striped turtle grew up, the hard turtle shell would be a very good spirit material.

However, Black-striped Turtles were sea turtles. They lived in the deep sea most of the time. Although they could be raised on the beast farm, it was against the nature of Black-striped Turtles. Therefore, Black-striped Turtles in the beast farm had been hard to lay eggs for many years. Amongst the six Bluefish Islands, only the beaches around the demon island were the spawning grounds for wild black-striped turtles. In order to replenish the number of black-striped turtles in the beast farm, the Spirit Beast Palace had given this mission.

Shen Shi’s neighbor, Sun You, He had worked in the beast farm of the Spirit Beast Palace for the past three years, One of his daily tasks was to “serve” these black-striped turtles. Shen Shi had heard him complain many times that these black-striped turtles were dirty and smelly. However, Shen Shi felt that these turtle eggs were extremely beautiful. After bringing these turtle eggs back to Qingyu Island, one turtle egg could go to the Spirit Beast Hall to exchange for a spirit crystal.

The white flowers in front of him seemed to Shen Shi as if they had turned into sparkling spirit crystals. For a moment, his spirits surged and he began to dig vigorously.

The sand flew everywhere, revealing more and more turtle eggs. Shen Shi carefully carried out the turtle eggs that were buried deep in the sand. Black-striped turtles lay their eggs in the middle of the night. They were buried deep and very secretive. If it weren’t for the iron-armored armadillo, a demonic beast that naturally loved to eat turtle eggs, most people wouldn’t have noticed it.

After a cup of tea, Shen Shi finally dug out all the turtle eggs in this nest. After a while, there were a total of twenty-one turtle eggs, piled up into a large pile. It made people happy to see them.

However, Shen Shi didn’t have anything to load with such a large pile of turtle eggs. After thinking for a moment, he directly took off the clothes of the Ling Xiao Sect disciples on his body, tied a knot and made a simple and crude bundle, and put the large pile of turtle eggs inside.

With this luck, he would be able to obtain twenty-one Spirit Crystals when he went out!

Shen Shi was really in a good mood. He even snorted twice, then took out his dagger and took off the armoured armadillo’s bone armor. A smile bloomed on his face.

If he was so lucky every day, it seemed like he would have to go to the Treasure Hall to ask his fellow apprentice-brothers if there were any low-grade magical artifacts that could hold anything. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a burden to carry such a large pile of things?

Adding on the reward of the armoured armadillo bone armor, Shen Shi had obtained 23 spirit crystals in his first battle today. The reward was not ungenerous. Looking at the pile of spoils in front of him, Shen Shi raised his head to look at the beach in front of him. After a moment of hesitation, he finally made up his mind. He picked up the spoils and walked back to the ship.

Let’s call it a day.

First, he was lucky to find the eggs of the black-striped turtle today. The reward was several times higher than usual. Second, these turtle eggs were really inconvenient to transport and were fragile. It was also inappropriate for him to go hunting for demons on the beach. Who knew if a few more demon beasts would come and eat these turtle eggs?

If a demonic beast really came to steal an egg, it wouldn’t be a turtle egg but a spirit crystal!

At this moment, Shen Shi incomparably hoped that he would have a storage magic tool. Although the legendary Cosmos Sacks and Xumi Bracelets could hold large quantities of items, All of them required at least an Origin Condensation Realm realm to be used, However, under those magic treasures, there were still some simple and crude magic tools. He had seen many loose cultivators buy them on the Heavenly First Floor in the past. They could be used at the Qi Refining Realm, and the effects were very ordinary. At most, they could only contain items the size of a gunny sack. However, it should be enough for him now.

He carefully picked up the turtle eggs and dragged the armoured armadillo’s bone armor with his other hand. Shen Shi looked like a laborer moving house and turned around.

At this moment, it was less than an hour before he got off the ship.

Therefore, when he returned to the ship, the deck was empty as expected. Even the cabin didn’t move at all. Lin Hu, who was usually too lazy to move, probably went to Monster Island to pay his respects because of Gan Ze’s sudden arrival today.

Shen Shi was also happy to be calm. He randomly found a place to sit on the deck and carefully placed those turtle eggs beside him. Then, he patiently waited. He touched his chest with his hand. The jade bottle containing the two Qi Nourishing Pills was still there. It could be considered that he had saved the cost of eating the Spirit Nourishing Pills today.

Shen Shi’s mood became even better.

The sound of waves rang out as the clouds and winds blew. The calm time quietly passed. Shen Shi waited on the boat for a day. When it was close to dusk in the afternoon, people in the depths of the Demon Island finally began to turn back to the boat one after another.

These Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters who went deeper into the Demon Island had tired expressions on their faces. Obviously, fighting against the even more ferocious demonic beasts in the depths of the Demon Island was not a small burden for them. However, seeing the expressions of most of them, they were still somewhat relieved, and presumably, their harvest was not small either.

When these people returned to the deck, some of them noticed Shen Shi and saw the turtle eggs beside Shen Shi with sharp eyes. For a moment, many people revealed expressions of surprise and envy as they laughed and scolded him,

“Good boy, good luck.”

“Even the eggs of the black-striped turtle can be found. Take this nest. Be obedient, the reward for returning isn’t any worse than ours.”

“Don’t be stupid. Our reward is divided among a few people. He alone has more spirit crystals than us …”

Amidst the discussion, Shen Shi looked a little embarrassed and smiled at them. Fortunately, they were from the same sect. These senior brothers and sisters did not seem to be bad people. After teasing them for a while, they quieted down and patiently waited for the people behind them to return.

The sky gradually darkened. Almost everyone had returned, including Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai, two Elemental Condensation Realm senior brothers. However, for some reason, as the setting sun on the horizon slowly descended onto the surface of the sea, the moment darkness was about to fall, Shen Shi suddenly noticed that everyone’s expressions were beginning to turn ugly.

He stood up and looked around. Suddenly, he was shocked to discover that only Gan Ze and Lin Hu, who accompanied him deep into the Demon Island, hadn’t returned.
