Killing God - Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Exception
Whoosh!

A crisp howl resounded across the beach, followed by an angry and painful bird cry. A moment later, a large gray bird half a human tall fell from mid-air and heavily fell onto the sand. Blood flowed out. After twitching a few times in the pool of blood, it died.

On the beach five feet away from this low-grade demonic beast, Shen Shi let out a long sigh of relief. His originally grave expression relaxed. Then he looked up at the sky. It was already noon, and the sun was shining. It was the hottest time of the day.

Unknowingly, He had already struggled for several hours on this demon island. He had followed the beach on the outskirts of this demon island and killed four armoured armadillos. In the end, he had encountered a wind bird. At the same time, he had also consumed a Qi Nourishing Pill. Therefore, his spiritual energy had recovered much faster than before, so he was not forced to return to the large ship and wait for a day.

Compared to the relatively heavy armoured armadillo, a low-grade demonic beast like the Wind Bird was inferior in strength to the armadillo, but it was much stronger in agility and speed. After Shen Shi practiced water archery, This was the first time he had fought against such a fast demonic beast, I wasn’t used to it at first, Very quickly, he was approached by the Wind Bird and encountered several dangerous situations. Fortunately, he was also at the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm. His physical body was barely able to withstand the attack of the Wind Bird. After a few tossing and turning, he saw a flaw and released a long-accumulated water archery technique. In a cautious state, he accurately hit the heart of the Wind Bird and struck it fatally.

Even so, Shen Shi looked somewhat miserable at the moment. His hair and clothes were in a mess, and there were several large cuts. These were naturally due to the sharp claws of the Wind Bird. There was even a flesh cut on his cheek. Although it was not long, it looked rather terrifying when blood flowed down his cheeks.

Standing on the spot, he calmed down. Shen Shi carefully examined his entire body and confirmed that there were no other injuries other than some external injuries. Only then did he feel relieved. As for the scratched wound on his face, he did not care too much. Demonic beasts like the Wind Bird were not poisonous. Other than the pain from the wound, he did not need to worry about anything else.

Walking to the Wind Bird’s side, he sized up the corpse of the Wind Bird, and then reached out to flip through the back of the Wind Bird. Within the soft and tough feathers on his tentacles, he quickly found three feathers that were different from the surrounding colors. They weren’t the gray color of the Wind Bird’s entire body, but a much brighter bright yellow color.

This was the place where the spiritual energy of the Wind Bird gathered the most, and it was also the most valuable spiritual material produced by the Wind Bird. It was called the Wind Bird Yellow Feather. After returning to Qingyu Island, each yellow feather could be exchanged for three spirit crystals.

In this way, the Wind Bird would receive nine spirit crystals in return. In addition to the four armoured armadillos he had killed earlier, Shen Shi had earned seventeen spirit crystals on this demon island in just half a day. The reward could be said to be generous. Even compared to some senior Qi Refining Realm martial brothers, it was better.

In fact, Shen Shi was indeed a different kind of person. One had to know that the newbies on Blue Fish Island of the Ling Xiao Sect, including the old disciples who hadn’t broken through to the Origin Condensation Realm in previous years, almost all of them had to reach the high-level Qi Refining Realm before they had the ability to hunt demons on Demon Island. Moreover, most of them had formed teams.

It wasn’t that everyone wasn’t strong enough, Normally, Most of them had reached a higher level of physical strength after reaching a higher level of the Qi Refining Realm. Only after blocking the attacks of demonic beasts would they dare to go to Demon Island. Furthermore, the Five Elements Spell Technique was not completely uncultivated. However, most people would need a long time to cultivate the Five Elements Spell Technique. Ten breaths and nine breaths were common. Those who could painstakingly cultivate to eight breaths or even seven breaths to cast a spell technique could already be considered exceptionally talented in the Five Elements Spell Technique.

After such a long casting time, it was obvious that he couldn’t face the demonic beasts alone. He could only find a companion to travel with. In battle, he had his companion stand in front of him and cast a spell from afar. This was the most efficient method. As for someone like Shen Shi, because of the mysterious consequences of the Heart Cleansing Curse, his casting speed was almost the same as that of an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator who had opened up the Jade Mansion’s Qi Sea, but it was impossible for any of them to do so.

Shen Shi took off three yellow feathers and put them into the Little Ruyi Ring on his left hand with satisfaction. At this moment, there were already four armoured armadillos’ bone armor inside. The harvest could not be said to be lacking. Unfortunately, he did not encounter the armoured armadillos digging the black-striped turtle’s nest on the beach today …

Shen Shi thought greedily. He felt that it was ridiculous. How could he have such good luck every day? He smiled and stood up. In the blink of an eye, he looked around. At this moment, the Spiritual Energy he had recovered after consuming a Qi Nourishing Pill had consumed a lot in the battle. The Spiritual Energy between his eyebrows was only enough to cast the last water archery.

Should we continue to search for prey, or should we stop here today?

Shen Shi touched the Little Ruyi Ring on his hand. He was a little hesitant. Normally speaking, this reward was enough. It wouldn’t be a waste of a day to turn around, but …

“Boom!”

Just as he was pondering, a dull and loud noise suddenly sounded. Following that, a beast roar came from the depths of the forest in front of him, causing Shen Shi to jump in fright.

Was it some powerful demonic beast that had arrived nearby?

Shen Shi’s first reaction was like this. He was well aware that although his water archery technique had a small success, he could only deal with these low-level demonic beasts on the edge of the island by himself. The demonic beasts that were slightly deeper into the island were much more ferocious and powerful than these Armadillo Wind Birds. With his current mid-Qi Refinement Realm, he was indeed unable to deal with them.

He turned around and left. Although the unknown demonic beast in the forest hadn’t appeared yet, it was better not to run into it. However, after he took a few quick steps, he suddenly heard a loud shout from the forest, which made him stop.

That was clearly a human voice. It sounded like it was fighting with some kind of demonic beast. And now, there was only one human on this demonic island apart from Shen Shi himself.

Shen Shi stared at the depths of the forest, his brows furrowed, but after pondering for a moment, he still turned around and left.

On the way back, nothing unexpected happened. Shen Shi returned safely to the large ship that was docked at the seaside. The moment he boarded the deck, he subconsciously turned his eyes to look around. The ship was empty and Gan Ze had not returned yet.

Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai also disappeared. It was unknown if they were hiding somewhere to cultivate. Shen Shi did not look for them either. Instead, he found a place to sit on the deck and looked out of the boat from time to time. He saw that the Demon Island was silent, but no one appeared.

Time passed quietly. The blazing sun shone on the island. An hour later, a sudden commotion came from the forest on the demon island. Shen Shi stood up and supported the ship’s side. Gan Ze slowly walked out from the depths of the forest after a flash of silhouettes.

He looked very tired, His face was also slightly pale, as if it was due to exhaustion. Even walking seemed to be somewhat empty. He walked all the way from the seawall and boarded the ship. Then, he sat on the deck with his buttocks against the ship’s side, gasping for breath. First, he glanced at Shen Shi, and then his expression slowly relaxed.

Shen Shi quickly noticed that Ganze had put down two items beside him. One was a large black fur, and the other was a pair of sharp and slender fangs. He stared at the two items for a while, then looked up at Ganze. Ganze was just about to catch his breath, so he also looked up at him.

The two of them looked at each other in midair for a moment. Shen Shi smiled first and said, “Have you worked hard?”

Gan Ze smiled. His expression was a little tired, but his spirits looked pretty good. He smiled and said, “Not bad. Uh, what’s that on your face?”

Shen Shi stretched out his hand to gently touch the wound on his cheek and said, “It’s nothing that was caught by the Wind Bird.”

Gan Ze glanced at him and nodded. Then, he saw that Shen Shi’s surroundings seemed to be empty-handed. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Today … is your luck bad?”

Shen Shi smiled. He extended his left hand and handed it to Gan Ze not far away. He showed him the little Ruyi Ring. Gan Ze’s eyes lit up when he glanced at it. He suddenly said, “Little Ruyi Ring, I actually forgot this … I have to get one next time.”

Shen Shi smiled and nodded. He glanced at the two spirit materials beside him and said, “Could this be the Ghost Shadow Bobcats?”

Gan Ze was stunned for a moment before looking at Shen Shi with a serious gaze. “Exactly. Could it be that you’ve seen this kind of demonic beast before?” He said.

Shen Shi smiled and said, “I’ve seen it once before, right?” As he said that, he looked up at Gan Ze with admiration in his eyes. “You’re even more powerful than I thought. You actually killed a Ghost Shadow Bobcats by yourself.”

The Ghost Shadow Bobcats were on the level, Actually, it was still a First Grade demonic beast, He was on the same level as the Wind Bird and the Armored Armadillo, but both were First Grade demonic beasts. The Ghost Shadow Bobcats were far stronger than the Wind Bird and the Armored Armadillo. Whether it was in terms of strength, speed, or ferocity, they were all First Grade demonic beasts. Shen Shi dared to fight the Wind Bird and the Armored Armadillo alone, but if he encountered the Ghost Shadow Bobcats, it would be extremely dangerous.

In the past, Shen Shi had seen other high-ranking senior brothers and sisters hunt this kind of demonic beast, but they all hunted in groups. It was indeed unheard of for Gan Ze to kill the Ghost Shadow Bobcats alone like today. It could be seen that this person before him was truly famous. Under his fame, he truly possessed extraordinary strength.

On the other hand, Gan Ze did not seem to be very pleased with himself. After chatting with Shen Shi for a while, it seemed that because the battle with the Ghost Shadow Bobcats had indeed consumed him a lot of strength, he closed his eyes and rested there.

Shen Shi looked at his exhausted expression. He didn’t bother, Walking quietly to the side, As the sky darkened and the sun set, Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai suddenly walked out of the ship like ghosts. Seeing Gan Ze and Shen Shi safely return to the ship, the two of them seemed to be relieved. Afterwards, their gazes fell on Gan Ze, especially glancing at the furs and fangs beside him. There was a trace of surprise on their faces.

However, even so, they did not say anything else. They only turned around and left. Very quickly, the ship got up and sailed back.

On the other hand, Shen Shi stood up silently and looked at the gradually disappearing demon island from the deck. At this moment when the setting sun was setting, the island regained its calm, as if it was about to fall into a deep slumber. However, when the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Shen Shi’s face at dusk, an inexplicable look of doubt flashed across his face, and his gaze towards the demon island was also somewhat deep.

If he remembered correctly, demonic beasts like the Ghost Shadow Bobcats were naturally hot and yin-loving. They usually came out at dusk to look for food, rarely appearing at noon.

But today, this Ghost Shadow Lynx that Ganze killed seems to be somewhat different …
