Killing God - Chapter 93
Chapter 93 Giant Ironwood Ape
After killing this Ghost Shadow Bobcats, he disposed of the prey’s corpse properly, and then put the spirit materials he obtained into the Little Ruyi Ring in his left hand. Shen Shi stood up again, calmed himself down, and began to walk into the depths of the forest again.
The fangs and fur of such a Ghost Shadow Bobcats were valuable spirit materials. The amount of spirit crystals they could exchange for was several times more than those low-grade demonic beasts that Shen Shi had painstakingly hunted down on the beach. Therefore, the higher the risk, the greater the reward.
Moreover, with the help of the talisman, Shen Shi’s consumption was much less than when he fought against those low-grade demonic beasts. This made him even more confident.
The forest was faint. The battlefield just now was quickly obscured by the forest behind him. Perhaps it was because Shen Shi deliberately chose a remote place to enter the forest, so the traces of his fellow disciples did not appear in this direction at all. It seemed that he was the only one exploring the entire forest alone.
As he gradually went deeper into the forest, he encountered more and more demonic beasts. Along the way, he killed three more demonic beasts. All of them were fierce demonic beasts of the same level as the Ghost Shadow Lynx. However, under the coordinated attacks of Shen Shi’s various talismans, they all died at his hands in the end.
Such efficiency shocked Shen Shi himself. At the same time, he could imagine how shocking this scene would be if it were to spread out in front of him. One had to know that the fellow disciples of the Qi Refining Realm who came to the Demon Island with him, Some of them had even cultivated to the higher Qi Refining Realm before him, It required several people to form a team to deal with a demonic beast of this level. Moreover, in a battle, one would have to rely on one’s physical strength to fight against one’s opponent. At most, only one person would be able to cast a spell after learning some fireball technique to accumulate momentum for half a day. After that, they would also have to step forward to participate in the battle.
After a battle, it was common to wear colorful bands on one’s body. Demonic beasts were ferocious. After all, it was not casual. Normally, teams that first arrived at Demon Island could only hunt one demonic beast. Some of their experience might increase their harvest, but compared to Shen Shi’s, it was truly a difference between heaven and earth.
He entered the forest on his own and encountered demonic beasts of the same level. With the power of the Five Elements Technique and Talisman, it was almost as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. And even now, he still had quite a bit of leeway.
Once again, Shen Shi was moved and satisfied that he had chosen such a remote place to act alone.
The Little Ruyi Ring in his left hand already contained the spirit materials of four demonic beasts. According to Shen Shi’s estimation, after returning to Qingyu Island, he would be able to exchange for at least a hundred spirit crystals. It seemed that he could still live this life, even if Zhong Qinglu’s side consumed a lot of spirit crystals.
Shen Shi thought happily in his heart. He carefully examined his own situation. After reaching the high-level of the Qi Refining Realm, the Spiritual Energy in the acupoint between his eyebrows increased greatly. In addition, the talismans he had made beforehand also made him use very little Spiritual Energy in his battle with the demonic beasts. At this moment, he had consumed less than a third of his Spiritual Energy.
If this scene were to be revealed, they would probably be stunned by the fellow disciples on the Demon Island.
From the spirit crystals alone, today’s harvest was enough. However, with Shen Shi’s good condition, even with his cautious and meticulous temperament, he couldn’t think of any reason to retreat.
If he couldn’t retreat, then of course, he would have to continue forward!
Shen Shi continued to walk in the forest. However, he was also very careful. When he arrived at a certain place in the forest, he saw that the terrain in front of him had suddenly risen. It was already at the foot of a mountain range. After pondering for a moment, Shen Shi turned around and walked to the side.
Ascending the mountain range was about to approach the mysterious Demon Catching Cave. Shen Shi did not have the thought of doing so, so he decided to just move around in the forest below the mountain.
However, even with Shen Shi’s caution and caution, and in the forest at the foot of the mountain, the dangers were also hidden in various parts of the forest. Not long after, Shen Shi, who was searching for prey in the forest, encountered a big problem.
He encountered an extremely difficult demonic beast, the Giant Ironwood Ape.
This was a gigantic demonic ape. Its strength was boundless. The gray-brown fur on its body was as tough as fine steel wood. It was difficult to injure a saber or sword. Its movements were agile and ferocious. In the demonic beast spectrum, it was the peak of Second Grade demonic beasts. Even if an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator encountered it, they had to deal with it carefully.
If Shen Shi remembered correctly, such a powerful demonic beast should have lived in the mountain range at the center of the demonic island. Today, it was unknown if this Giant Ironwood Ape had just come down the mountain to look for food, but when it encountered Shen Shi, it immediately erupted into an extremely dangerous battle.
No matter what, the Giant Ironwood Ape was definitely the strongest opponent Shen Shi had ever encountered since he cultivated. Normally speaking, a high-level Qi Refining Realm cultivator would almost die if he encountered a demonic beast of the same level as the Giant Ironwood Ape alone.
Then, at the critical moment of life and death, Shen Shi’s experience on the Demon Island over the past year had worked. Although he was also shocked by the sudden appearance of this ferocious beast, he did not lose his rationality. Instead, he immediately calmed down and took out all sorts of talismans hidden in the Little Ruyi Ring to fight against it.
At the beginning of the battle, There was no doubt that the Giant Ironwood Ape had the absolute advantage, At one point, Shen Shi was forced into a desperate situation. However, Shen Shi took advantage of his incomparably fast casting time on talismans, In a short period of time, he continuously cast a variety of spells, such as Earth Settling, Fire Barrier, Wind Swift, and so on. First, he slowed down the Giant Ironwood Ape’s speed, and then he increased his defensive agility. After drawing a distance, he immediately used three attack talismans to attack the Giant Ironwood Ape.
In this battle, This was the first time Shen Shi felt that a demonic beast of a slightly higher level had the attribute of five elements mutually reinforcing each other. The Giant Ironwood Ape actually had a trace of a wood attribute. Although it was not dense, it still had some effects. What it displayed was that the Earth Element spells would weaken its power, while the Fire Ke Mu and Fireball spells would have a more remarkable effect when they hit its body.
But if that’s the case, Shen Shi quickly discovered that this kind of demonic beast was truly unexpectedly powerful. A low-tier demonic beast can only use one or two attack spells to complete the result, However, he threw four Tier 1 spells at the Giant Ironwood Ape. Two of them were fireball spells. The Giant Ironwood Ape’s footsteps slowed down under the control of the Earth Sinking Spell, but its body was still towering. Even though the vital parts of its chest were bloody, it still struggled to pounce on him.
However, Shen Shi didn’t have anything else. The talismans he had made these past few days were quite a lot …
Therefore, he quickly threw another Earth Sinking spell at the Giant Ironwood Ape. First, he continued to slow it down, then he took out two more fireball spell talismans and activated them one by one. In two breaths, the blazing fireball continuously smashed into the Giant Ironwood Ape’s chest.
“Boom!”
Following the final furious roar, the Ironwood Giant Ape’s enormous body finally collapsed. It even smashed a small tree not far away and died in the bushes.
In the distance, Shen Shi stood there in shock. He waited for a while. After confirming that this ferocious demonic beast had truly died, he seemed to completely relax. Suddenly, he began to gasp heavily.
The dangers and difficulties of this battle were the toughest in Shen Shi’s life. At the same time, it allowed him to deeply experience how powerful the truly dangerous demonic beasts on this demonic island were. It also allowed him to put away the trace of arrogance that had faintly sprouted before.
He slowly walked over, and at the same time, he thought about it in his heart. He discovered that he had actually used thirteen talismans in order to kill this Giant Ironwood Ape …
It seemed like he was going to lose money. Shen Shi sighed lightly. However, when he saw the corpse of that powerful demonic beast, he felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.
No one had ever been able to kill such a powerful Second Grade demonic beast in the Qi Refining Realm.

After dealing with this Giant Ironwood Ape, Shen Shi did not delay any longer and immediately turned around to return to his original location.
The battle just now had greatly consumed him. It wasn’t about the spiritual energy of his physical body, but about the various talismans he had used. In one battle, he had directly consumed thirteen talismans. From another perspective, this incomparably ferocious Ironwood Giant Ape had actually been smashed to death by Shen Shi with money …
However, after this battle and the previous battles with the Ghost Shadow Bobcats and a few other demonic beasts, there were a total of twenty-four talismans that were originally hidden in Shen Shi’s Little Ruyi Ring in his right hand, and there were not many left. If he encountered such a powerful demonic beast again, Shen Shi would be helpless.
“Sigh, in the end, the power of this Tier 1 spell is still a bit small. It can be considered to be able to deal with ordinary Tier 1 demonic beasts, but it is somewhat inadequate to deal with a Tier 2 demonic beast with a strong physical body.” Shen Shi thought to himself, He recalled that in the fierce battle just now, he had cast five or six spells on the Giant Ironwood Ape’s chest before knocking it down. As for the attack spell talismans in his Little Ruyi Ring, they were basically all used up in this battle. If the Giant Ironwood Ape were to persevere a little longer, the person who would probably fall would be Shen Shi.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi couldn’t help but feel a little afraid. He touched the Little Ruyi Ring in his right hand and made up his mind. It seemed that he had underestimated his enemy too much. He thought that he could walk horizontally on the Demon Island with a dozen or twenty talismans in stock. He truly underestimated the demon beasts here. When you get back to Qingyu Island, you must be prepared more thoroughly.
Just like that, he kept thinking that he had walked all the way out of the forest. Perhaps the demonic beasts on the way here had been killed by him, so the road back was very quiet. When he walked out of the forest and looked up at the sky, it was already afternoon.
Shen Shi looked around. The calm beach was as lonely and peaceful as ever. The surroundings were still empty and empty. He didn’t think much about it and turned around to walk towards the seawall where the large ship docked.
When he returned to the ship, he discovered that he was not the first person to return. There were already seven or eight fellow disciples sitting on the deck. Some were tired and others were hanging lottery. However, their expressions were filled with excitement and joy. It seemed that these groups of people had gained something.
After Shen Shi boarded the ship, he was naturally seen by others. However, he had always acted alone on Monster Island, so no one came up to talk to him. Shen Shi naturally did not mind and walked to a remote corner to sit down alone.
They waited until dusk. Everyone returned to the ship on time. After Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai came out to inspect the ship, they didn’t say anything else and sailed back.
As the sky darkened, darkness shrouded the back of the ship, once again hiding the island in the darkness of the night.
Shen Shi looked at the increasingly blurry island shadow and suddenly thought of the Ghost Shadow Bobcats for no reason. Originally, it was reasonable that they should only appear at this time.
Why was this kind of demonic beast so abnormal?
Shen Shi stared blankly into the distance. He watched the island gradually disappear into the darkness. On the distant sea surface, the sea breeze gradually cooled down and grew larger. It seemed that a shrill and sharp howl could be heard as it quietly echoed out under the empty sky of the night.
