Killing God - Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Yin Spirit
The fog was everywhere, as if it covered the sky and covered the sun. It flooded the entire forest like a tide. Countless demonic beasts ran out from all corners of the forest, rushing forward crazily, desperately trying to get away from the strange fog.

Shen Shi had never seen so many demonic beasts suddenly appear in front of him in his life. At this moment, a fragile human was standing in the tide of demonic beasts, yet nothing had happened. Not a single one of those demonic beasts had ever looked at him seriously.

A cold and gloomy wind blew over. The temperature in the forest seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, Behind the fleeing demonic beasts, The strange fog kept wriggling as if it were alive, It spread forward, Occasionally, a few demonic beasts that were slower to escape would be caught up by the fog. He immediately let out a mournful roar. However, as the fog rolled upwards, the mysterious shadows hidden in the fog instantly swarmed over. After releasing a terrifying howl and biting sound, the sound of the entangled demonic beasts quickly drowned out. Soon, they were drowned in the fog, and then their figures were no longer visible.

As this terrifying scene appeared in front of him, The strange figures that were originally concealed in the mist also revealed some clues. At first glance, they were almost translucent. The upper half of their bodies looked like human figures, but the lower half floated in mid-air. At the same time, their faces were blurry and their facial features were ferocious. Their eyes were two deep black holes that emitted deep red light.

As he turned his head to look, an icy and violent aura surged over like a tide, as if he had a strong hatred for creatures, wanting to destroy all living beings.

Shen Shi wasn’t dumbfounded for long. In fact, he quickly recognized the identity of these terrifying monsters in front of him.

Yin Spirit!

A terrifying monster among ghosts that absorbs the Yang Qi of living creatures to make a living.

There was only one place on the demon island where ghosts could be found, That was the Demon Catching Cave. Back then, when the ancestors of the High Firmament Sect opened the Six Bluefish Islands, they discovered some ghosts that were native to the island. However, they believed that fighting with ghosts would be beneficial to the future rookies as well. Therefore, they tolerated some ghosts surviving on the island.

Compared to demonic beasts, ghosts were usually even more bizarre. Even cultivators were difficult to deal with. Therefore, Lingxiao Sect had once placed restrictions on the demonic island, sealing all ghosts in the Demonic Catching Cave deep within the island. Only high-level disciples who had reached a certain level of confidence in their dao would enter the Demonic Catching Cave.

This had been the case for hundreds of years, and no ghost had ever escaped from the Demon Catching Cave.

However, the reality in front of him had clearly overturned the news that Shen Shi had heard before. After seeing an incomparably strong demonic beast being engulfed by the thick fog and dying without any strength to fight back, he turned around and ran without the slightest hesitation.

It was impossible not to run. This ghost mist was truly too strange. No matter how ferocious a demonic beast looked at it, it did not have the slightest bit of resistance in front of the mist. Shen Shi asked himself if he was too far off. If he did not run now, he would be waiting for death.

However, he only turned around and ran for a few steps, only to discover that something was amiss. This mist suddenly rose up and continuously surged in from many parts of the forest. The only direction without the mist was the direction in which the numerous demonic beasts were fleeing for their lives, but …

That was the direction that led to the deepest part of Demon Island, to climb a mountain range.

In that instant, Thousands of thoughts flashed through Shen Shi’s mind. He had always been cautious on this demon island, Even if the Taoist priest entered the forest to hunt a higher level demonic beast, He often noticed that they weren’t close to the depths of the demon island. Normally, they were also far away from the mountain ranges. Because according to the information he had received before coming here, the most dangerous place on the demon island was the Demon Catching Cave. The demon beasts in those mountain ranges were generally harder to deal with than the demon beasts in the outer forest.

After running for a while like this, Shen Shi could already see the gradually rising terrain at the foot of the mountain, and beside him were still numerous demonic beasts fleeing for their lives and panicking, and behind him was the strange fog that was constantly chasing after people and stealing their souls.

In the cold and gloomy wind, sinister ghost cries rose and fell one after another, as if those ghosts that originally didn’t have intelligence were laughing sinisterly, chasing after delicious food. Once they were entangled in the mist, they would be instantly drowned by countless ghosts and turn into a shriveled corpse.

The gloomy ghost cries seemed to be right beside his ears, cold sweat dripping down his face. His heart was beating so fast that it seemed as if it was about to jump out of his chest. Shen Shi had no choice but to retreat. After taking a final glance at the increasingly dense and terrifying ghost mist behind him, he gritted his teeth and desperately thought of rushing up the mountain range ahead.

When he rushed up the hillside, Shen Shi accidentally raised his head to look at the sky above the forest. He saw that there was no place covered by the ghost mist. The sky seemed to be normal. However, more than half of the day seemed to have passed, and it was faintly approaching dusk.

He didn’t dare to turn around. Although he didn’t know how to return to the safe ship, he could only flee to the quiet and mysterious depths of the Demon Island.

The sky gradually darkened. Gui Shuyun was quietly meditating outside the pill refining stone room behind the Bright Furnace Palace on Bluefish Island. However, she suddenly felt something. She suddenly raised her head and looked at the room in the middle of the row of pill refining stone rooms.

After a while, the door to the stone room slowly opened and accompanied by heavy footsteps, Zhong Qinglu walked out. There was an unconcealable sense of exhaustion on her face. After all, concocting a Tier 2 Origin Cultivation Pill was completely different from concocting a Tier 1 Spirit Pill. The amount of effort she spent was also heaven and earth different from the amount of energy she consumed to concoct an alchemist.

This was Zhong Qinglu’s ninth attempt to refine an Origin Cultivation Pill, using a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivation technique.

Gui Shuyun had already stood up and greeted him. At the same time, he carefully looked at Zhong Qing’s expression and whispered, “Junior Sister Zhong, are you alright?”

Zhong Qinglu looked at her and slowly nodded. Then, she smiled.

Gui Shuyun stared at the girl. His expression slowly changed. From his initial concern and anxiety, he was stunned. In the end, he was even surprised and even surprised. He said, “You, are you …”

Zhong Qinglu walked to her side and revealed a gratified smile in her tiredness. Then, she took out a small jade bottle from her bosom and handed it to Gui Shuyun.

Gui Shuyun immediately opened the cork of the bottle after taking it. He first glanced at it, Then, she took a deep breath of the fragrance of the spirit medicine that surged out of the bottle. A moment later, she seemed to have finally confirmed it. A heartfelt smile came from the bottom of her heart. She hugged Zhong Qinglu and smiled excitedly, “Congratulations, Junior Sister Zhong. In more than a hundred years, you are still the first rookie disciple to refine the Origin Cultivation Pill in the Qi Refining Realm!”

Zhong Qinglu smiled and didn’t say anything. Looking at it, he was extremely exhausted. However, the joy on her face came from the depths of her heart. Gui Shuyun, who was beside her, was extremely excited. After returning this bottle of Origin Cultivation Pill to Zhong Qinglu, he pulled her out and kept saying those words. It was all to the effect that Junior Sister Zhong had once again refined a Spirit Pill. Her talent in refining pills had already been fully revealed. In the future, all the elders in the Pill Hall would definitely take care of you. The glorious future of the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation was already imminent.

Zhong Qinglu smiled along the way. It seemed that she was also a little excited. However, when she heard Senior Sister chattering beside her, she suddenly thought of another person in her heart for some reason.

Perhaps that person is still on the Demon Island right now. Could he be fighting with a demonic beast?

If he came back and found out that I had already cultivated the Origin Cultivation Pill, would he laugh out loud, would he be extremely proud and praise himself for his good taste?

Looking at the sky, it was almost dusk. He must be coming back soon, right?

The corner of Zhong Qinglu’s mouth curled up slightly, as if the heavy burden of a thousand kilograms had been exhausted. Even the exhaustion on her body seemed to have lessened a bit, and she quickened her pace a few steps and walked out.

Should he know earlier? Or suspend his appetite again?

Perhaps, wait for him at the dock and let him be the first to know about this news?

One thought after another lingered in the girl’s heart as she walked out of the Bright Furnace Hall with a smile.

Monster Island, on the seawall.

The sky gradually darkened. It was already dusk. The setting sun set on the distant sea level. The weak afterglow illuminated a few dark clouds. It was the final sunset.

The wind blew.

The waves on the surface of the sea gradually grew larger, and the movements of the large ship that was docked beside the seawall also grew a little louder. The sound of the sea waves seemed to surge from all directions, and they forcefully slammed against the sturdy surface of the seawall, causing pale waves to splatter out.

Several figures stood on the deck. The two people at the front were Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai. Both of their faces were gloomy as they stared at the demon island in front of them, which was getting darker and darker in the twilight.

Right at this moment, three figures suddenly appeared at the end of the forest in front of him and strode over from the forest. Almost at the same time, the Qi Refining Realm disciples standing on the deck behind Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai let out a sigh of relief. Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai looked at each other and their expressions became much better.

The three figures quickly walked past the seawall and boarded the ship. When they saw a bunch of people on the deck, they looked at themselves. Their faces were filled with embarrassment. They cupped their fists and smiled apologetically, “I made the two senior brothers and sisters worry. We were delayed for a while because we wanted to kill a black wind bear. Fortunately, we managed to catch up.”

“It’s actually the Black Wind Bear. Looks like the three of you have gained quite a bit today.”

A trace of complacency flashed across the leader’s face, but he still said politely, “No, no, it’s just ordinary.” As he said that, he turned to Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai and said, “Senior Sister Xu, Senior Brother Zeng, we have returned. There are more delays. We can set sail now.”

However, after saying this for a long time, he did not receive any reply. This person was somewhat surprised. He raised his head and saw Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai frowning. He turned to look at the Demon Island again. Their expressions had turned gloomy again at some unknown time, and it seemed that their expressions were even uglier than before.

“What’s the matter?” He looked around in astonishment. Someone whispered to him, “There’s still a junior brother who hasn’t returned.”

Time passed quietly like this. Twilight had already passed, and the setting sun was setting in the west. The waves on the sea were getting bigger and bigger. The darkness finally began to descend on this mysterious demon island.

However, Shen Shi still hadn’t returned.

The whole ship was silent.
