Killing God - Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Remuneration
In the darkness of the night, the phenomenon in the horizon was exceptionally conspicuous. Almost everyone on the ship saw it, but no one knew what it was. They just watched as the dazzling sword light flew towards the Demon Island. Could it be the rescue sent by Lingxiao Sect?

Although everyone’s gazes subconsciously followed the sword light in the sky, it was obviously unrealistic to turn the bow of the ship back to Demon Island at this moment. Therefore, after a particularly long voyage tonight, the large ship returned to Qingyu Island with a trace of embarrassment.

The ship finally came to a stop, Zeng Zhibai, who was on the ship, jumped off the deck impatiently. He quickly rushed towards Qingyu Fair. He was obviously anxious to report to Wang Gen and ask him to rescue Gan Ze and Niu Xiong who were in danger. As for the third person who was in danger, Lin Hu. No matter how good-tempered Zeng Zhibai was, he wished he could just die in the Demon Catching Cave.

The Qi Refining Realm disciples on the deck looked at each other. Earlier, when they were delayed on the island, their lives were in danger. All of them were filled with righteous indignation. However, once they returned safely to Qingyu Island, it was as if there was an indescribable feeling in their hearts. The joy of returning safely did not seem to be too strong. Instead, many people frowned and looked towards the distant island from time to time.

Under the darkness of the night, everyone looked at each other speechlessly. In the end, they silently got off the boat and dispersed in the middle of the night. Shen Shi carefully hugged his harvest, a large bag of turtle eggs and an armoured armadillo’s bone armor. After glancing around, he expressionlessly walked towards White Fish Bay.

The night was dark, and the island seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber. However, after a while, a dazzling light suddenly rose up above Qingyu Island and shot straight into the nine heavens. After piercing through the sky like a bolt of lightning, it flew swiftly towards the direction of the Demon Island.

Whitefish Bay was quiet and quiet under the night sky, Only the sound of waves hitting the beach could be heard from afar in the night breeze, Shen Shi quietly carried a large bag of things back to his cave residence. When the stone door was closed behind him under the urging of the Cloud Talisman, it finally completely separated the outside world. For some reason, Shen Shi suddenly felt a sense of relaxation that he had never felt before. It was as if he had returned to a real safe haven and returned to his home.

He stood there in a daze for a while, then let out a long breath. He walked to the stone shelf at the side of the room and carefully put away the turtle egg and armadillo bone armor. Then, he sat down by the bed. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and picked up a spirit crystal to start his daily practice.

After a night passed, the sun shone on the paradise-like Green Fish Island once again.

Shen Shi didn’t go out as early as usual today, even though he had completely recovered from last night’s cultivation and didn’t feel the slightest bit tired. However, he didn’t want to go out, but someone took the initiative to find him. A few thudding sounds came from the stone door.

Shen Shi walked over in surprise and opened the stone door. He saw Sun You standing outside the door laughing.

Shen Shi was a little surprised and said, “Aren’t you supposed to go to the beast farm to work at this time of the day?”

Young friend Sun waved his hand and said, “There’s no harm in being late. What happened on the demon island last night? I heard that kid Ganze was in danger there. Tell me quickly!”

Shen Shi was shocked and said, “How did you know this so quickly?”

Sun You sneered and said, “Yesterday, there were more than twenty people on the same boat that went to the Demon Island with you, alright? Adding on Gan Ze’s identity, such a big matter has been spread all over the place. I remember that you’ve been going to the Demon Island these past few days, so hurry up and ask.”

‘”Hmm” Shen Shi pondered for a moment and didn’t conceal anything. He roughly told Yesterday what he saw and heard to Young Friend Sun. Young Friend Sun nodded slightly after hearing this and then smiled. “I seem to have some impression of Senior Brother Lin Hu. Although he was a direct disciple who cultivated to the Origin Condensation Realm in his early years, I heard that he was very unpopular among direct disciples.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the stone door that he had left unclosed after entering. He leaned closer to Shen Shi and lowered his voice. “I heard that he made a mistake three years ago and angered Senior Brother Wang Gen. That’s why he was punished from the island to the Demon Island.”

Shen Shi didn’t expect that there would be such twists and turns in the middle. After thinking for a moment, he frowned and said, “Three years ago, wasn’t that when we first entered the island?”

“Yes, but what exactly did Senior Brother Lin do and why did he offend Senior Brother Wang Gen? I don’t know. According to what you just said, he tried to curry favor with that brat Gan Ze. I’m afraid he also wanted to climb up this big tree of the Gan Clan,” Young Friend Sun nodded.

Shen Shi was silent. In his heart, he felt a bit of silence for Senior Brother Lin Hu. Let alone climbing this tree, it was obvious that Gan Ze was in danger on Demon Island. In the future, if the Gan Clan pursued this matter, it would probably not be as fruitful as Lin Hu.

However, these were the troubles of these influential families, and they had nothing to do with them. At most, they were curious. Shen Shi quickly left these things behind and greeted Sun You. He then packed up his spoils of war from yesterday and prepared to go to Qingyu Fair to exchange for spirit crystals.

Sun You originally didn’t care. When he picked up an armadillo bone armor, he even cancelled his harvest. This time, his harvest was twice as much as last time. However, when he saw Shen Shi coming out with a large bag of white turtle eggs, his eyes immediately widened.

He had worked in the beast farm for several years. Of course, he knew that the beast farm of the Spirit Beast Palace usually bought turtle eggs from disciples who went to the Demon Island. He also knew that a single turtle egg could be exchanged for a spirit crystal. This large bag of turtle eggs made him stutter, “No, no, did I see wrong? These are all black-striped turtle eggs?”

Shen Shi chuckled and said, “Exactly.”

“Aiya, I’ll go!” Sun You rushed over and scratched the big bag, looking left and right. He brought some incredible eggs and said, “So many eggs, how did you get them?”

Shen Shi recounted the incident where the armored armadillo was digging eggs on the beach yesterday. Sun You shook his head and said with envy, “Brat, your luck is too good.”

Shen Shi smiled and picked up the large bag of turtle eggs. He smiled and said, “Let’s go. We’ll head back to your beast farm and exchange these turtle eggs for spirit crystals.”

Sun You’s tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Shen Shi laughed and said, “I do this occasionally. Normally, I only get three or four spirit crystals. I also risk being injured by a demonic beast. How can I be as comfortable as you in the beast farm?”

Young friend Sun shook his head as he mumbled something.

The two of them went out to Qingyu Fair together. Shen Shi first went to the Tool Hall Shop and exchanged an armadillo bone armor for two spirit crystals. Then, he went to the beast farm with Sun You. Under Sun You’s familiar guidance, he successfully exchanged the 21 turtle eggs for 21 spirit crystals.

After bidding farewell to Sun You, who was reluctant but forced to go to work, Shen Shi walked all the way back to Qingyu Fair. At this moment, he had 23 spirit crystals in his possession. In addition, there were a few in White Fish Bay’s cave residence. He felt like he had become rich overnight. He only felt that he was walking lightly.

Fortunately, he was still cautious in the end. Aside from being overjoyed, he quickly held on to himself. After pondering for a moment on the streets of the Green Fish Market, he walked towards the dock on the south side of the island.

Normally, there would be quite a few Qi Refining Realm disciples here at this time. They would take the large ship to the Demon Island to do the demon hunting mission. However, when Shen Shi arrived at the dock, he discovered that the large ship was still docked at the seaside. The dock was empty, and there was not a single person on it. It looked rather lonely.

Shen Shi walked over and looked around. Soon, he found a wooden sign standing beside the stone embankment in front of him. There was a piece of white paper stuck on it. He walked over and took a closer look. As expected, the paper said that the matters regarding the Demon Island had been suspended recently. Junior brothers, rest assured and cultivate. When the stone embankment reopens, they will naturally notify him.

Shen Shi glanced at the large ship, shook his head slightly, and then turned around to leave.

④

Back in Qingyu Fair, She felt that she was suddenly at a loss for what to do, Three years on this island, He spent almost every day running around earning spirit crystals, From peeling shrimps in Red Clam Village to going to Demon Island to hunt demons now, he had no background and could not take on those stable and high-quality missions on the island. He could only work hard and cultivate every day. Every day seemed to repeat yesterday. It was rare for him to have such a leisurely time.

He wandered around the streets for a while and remembered what he looked like when he found a large pile of turtle eggs on the demon island yesterday. At that time, he especially wanted to have a storage magic tool that could easily store all his harvests, even if he could only use extremely crude and low-level items in the Qi Refining Realm.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Shi finally made up his mind and walked towards the Tool Hall Shop.

The bone armor of the armoured armadillos that he had sold on both occasions was in this place, so he could be considered familiar, including one of the senior apprentice-brothers Ji Liangcai who had received him on both occasions in the shop, Ji Liangcai.

Ji Liangcai was called a genius, but his talent bone frame didn’t seem to be worthy of this name. After cultivating in Qingyu Island for more than eight years, he barely managed to reach the Qi Refining Realm’s high level. Seeing that he was still far from the Yuan Condensation Realm’s great threshold, he naturally felt a little frustrated. However, he was usually quite easy-going, Receiving some new junior apprentices was also a good attitude. He was unable to cultivate, but I heard that this round of rookies had some extremely talented geniuses. In the future, they might be famous figures. Although there was little hope for a great Daoist with a divine passage and heaven-reaching techniques, it would be good if they could form a good fate right now.

Therefore, when he saw that Junior Brother Shen Shi, who had received him this morning, walked in front of him again, although he was a little surprised, he still smiled warmly and said, “What’s wrong, Junior Brother Shen? Could it be that after a while, you’ve hunted down another armadillo’s bone armor?”
