Killing God - Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Demon Cave
“Hu, hu, hu, hu …”

Heavy breathing sounds accompanied by panicked footsteps echoed in the dense forest. Shen Shi’s heart seemed to sink like the boundless darkness around him at this moment. Dozens of feet behind him was a mist that emitted a strange green light in the darkness. It was especially dazzling in this dark night where one could not even see one’s fingers. The yin wind howled, and countless gloomy shadows chased after the ghost mist.

Many of the demonic beasts had already scattered, and those that could escape had already fled with all their might. Many of the demonic beasts that were slower were caught up by the sudden appearance of the ghost mist, and died miserably in the ghost mist. Shen Shi relied on his body strength, which was considered to be strong after cultivating to a high-level Qi Refining Realm. With the help of the terrain, he was able to identify the direction and escape with his life, barely surviving until now.

However, as night fell, there was no light in the forest of the Monster Island Mountain Range except for the specks of ghost flames in the ghost mist. At this moment, Shen Shi was completely unable to discern the direction. He just subconsciously wanted to leave the ghost mist behind him and flee forward desperately.

As for where he had fled to and where he was, he had no idea.

But even so, His heart was filled with despair. Staying alone on this demon island in the dark was an extremely dangerous thing. Moreover, ghosts had suddenly appeared. The many demon beasts that had fled with him before had disappeared at some point. In the vast darkness, it was as if he was the only one left, fleeing helplessly and alone.

The mournful cries of ghosts and the icy cold wind seemed to be getting closer and closer.

On several occasions, under his panic, Shen Shi almost crashed into a tree trunk in the forest. At this moment, he was practically like a blind man in the forest. Only by borrowing the speck of ghost fire behind him could he barely see some shadows.

However, from dusk until now, Shen Shi’s stamina had gradually been exhausted as he chased after and escaped. Despair filled his heart. Was it really going to end here?

Suddenly, he didn’t pay attention to his feet as he stumbled and ran desperately. With one step, his entire body tilted. It was as if he had accidentally run to the edge of a cliff or a hillside. In the darkness, he couldn’t see any difference from the surrounding terrain. After a slip, he involuntarily tumbled down and fell.

At this moment, he had almost exhausted all of his strength and no longer had the strength to control his body. He felt as if the sky was spinning around him in the darkness. His body no longer looked like his own. He just rolled down like a stone, constantly colliding with the hard ground and the rocks that appeared from time to time. Everything in his body was painful, as if he was about to collapse.

This uncontrollable tumble was extremely fast. After a while, Shen Shi felt his body suddenly tremble in his blank mind. It was as if he had fallen from a hillside and heavily smashed into a hard object. He immediately felt a golden star appearing in his eyes and an incomparably sharp pain. At the same time, his throat sweetened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out a moment later.

This collision wasn’t light. Even though Shen Shi’s physical strength was far stronger than a mortal’s, he still felt that he couldn’t withstand it. He lay on the ground for a long time, dizzy and dizzy before slowly recovering his strength.

Using his hand to support the ground, Shen Shi struggled to get up. He turned around and looked around. The surroundings were filled with darkness. However, it seemed that the sudden fall from a hill or cliff had temporarily moved away from the ghost mist that was like chasing souls. At least, there were no specks of ghosts nearby at this moment.

Without the ghost mist that covered the sky, the night sky above his head was also unblocked. Shen Shi raised his head and looked at the sky. There were dark clouds. Although it was also a dark night without stars and moons, it was still a little faint. After his eyes adapted to this environment, he could vaguely see something.

Of course, this place was still on the Demon Island. As for where he was on the Demon Island, Shen Shi had lost all sense of direction. However, relying on his instincts, Shen Shi felt that he was probably in the depths of the Demon Island, or even close to the mysterious Demon Catching Cave.

After all, the path to the outskirts of Demon Island had been blocked by the ghost mist from the start. Shen Shi had no choice but to go up the mountain range and desperately flee into the depths of Demon Island. Even though he knew very well that this was merely drinking poison to quench his thirst, how could he care so much at the critical moment of life and death?

After calming himself down, Shen Shi felt that his entire body was a little weak, but he still carefully stood up and opened his eyes wide to look around. In the blurry darkness, only a few sparse trees could be vaguely seen. It seemed that they had already left the forest. In addition, there were many black shadows of various sizes standing nearby in the darkness. They were all of different sizes and tall, as if they were all strangely shaped stones.

Everything was quiet, and in the darkness, it was as if only his own breathing was left.

Countless legends about the demon island, including how ferocious the demon beasts would appear in the dark night and what strange and unfathomable ghosts there were in the demon hunting cave. Many messy thoughts surged through his mind like a flood at this moment.

Shen Shi felt his heart beating very quickly.

The darkness in the surroundings seemed to be about to freeze. The cold night wind blew over from unknown places, slicing into his face like a knife.

Suddenly, a mournful ghost cry sounded from afar. A hint of ghostly light lit up and carried a wisp of strange green in the darkness. Shen Shi’s body trembled. Not long after, ghostly lights gradually lit up like ghost flames. Ghost cries rose and fell one after another. In this night, ghost mist appeared again.

Shen Shi’s face was pale and he gritted his teeth. Looking at the ghost mist, he was surprised to see it floating in this direction. Naturally, he could no longer stay where he was. Otherwise, he would only die. Therefore, Shen Shi forcefully endured the pain on his body and immediately turned around to run in another direction. Although there was still darkness ahead, as long as he stayed away from the ghost mist, there might still be a chance of survival.

Unlike before, in the middle of the woods, There was some faint light, so this time Shen Shi’s speed was actually slightly faster than before. However, he had only bypassed a few giant rocks when he suddenly discovered that a towering mountain wall had appeared in front of his eyes. Under the mountain wall, with that faint light, Shen Shi saw a pitch-black cave.

An ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart. In the next moment, he subconsciously raised his head and looked to the left of the cave. Sure enough, he saw a stone tablet there. There were some traces of words on it that he could not see clearly in the dark.

Shen Shi walked over blankly. His palm brushed past the ice-cold stone tablet. The rough and deep marks on the surface of the stone flashed across his palm. He closed his eyes slightly and when he opened them again, he was already in a state of despair.

Demon Catching Cave.

These three words were on the stone tablet.

The Bluefish Island was peaceful and peaceful under the night. Under the breeze and waves, even though it was a gloomy night, it still made people feel that the night was gentle and peaceful.

By this time, most of the people on Qingyu Island had already returned to their caves. The bustling Qingyu Fair, including the seaside roads, could no longer be seen. Even the dock on the south side of Qingyu Island was empty. For a long time, only disciples of the Qi Refining Realm who had gone to the Demon Island would come here. Moreover, they had long since become accustomed to leaving early and returning late. On the quiet dock, everything seemed to be normal, and they were quietly waiting for the return of those who had gone to the Demon Island to explore.

Zhong Qinglu was a little annoyed and somewhat anxious.

She felt that she was really stupid.

Didn’t he just refine a batch of Origin Cultivation Pills? Why did he come here like a fool? Er, no, refining the Origin Cultivation Pill is very impressive. He is the first disciple in Lingxiao Sect to successfully refine a second-grade spirit pill like the Origin Cultivation Pill in the Qi Refining Realm in more than a hundred years. As long as this news spread tomorrow, it will definitely cause a sensation in the Pill Hall and even the entire sect. Even compared to that Gan Ze, he is not inferior!

Therefore, why did he come here?

Zhong Qinglu clenched her hands tightly. In the palm of her hand, the white jade bottle was smooth and moist. Inside was five newly baked Origin Cultivation Pills.

‘”Forget it, I’m just looking at him pitifully. When he failed to refine pills eight times in a row, he forced a smile every time he gave me a spirit crystal. Do you think I wouldn’t be able to tell? Today, I’m just going to throw this bottle of spirit pills to him in person. Hmph, then his face will definitely be very beautiful!”

Zhong Qinglu let out a light breath and thought in her heart. Her expression and mood suddenly became much better. There was even a trace of a smile on her lips.

That’s right, I don’t have any strange thoughts. It’s just that that fellow is too pitiful. Every time he is pressed down by the pill refining spirit crystal, he is unable to breathe. That’s why he came over and threw this bottle of new medicine to him. Let him know that it wasn’t in vain to give me the spirit crystal!

Hu …

Zhong Qinglu nodded and stood in a dark corner some distance away from the dock. She continued to wait. Although Xin Yi had already tried to convince her, Zhong Qinglu still felt that she did not need to stand outside. Otherwise, if others saw her, wouldn’t it be a bit hard to explain? If any idiot were to talk nonsense about what he was interested in or what he was interested in, it would really make people speechless.

That’s it. Stay here and wait for him to return. When he is alone, go out and call for him. Then throw this bottle of Origin Cultivation Pills into his hands and turn around and leave!

Let’s see how he reacts!

Hehe, Zhong Qinglu’s gaze was floating on the distant sea surface. Suddenly, her expression changed, and a trace of nervousness flashed across her face.

A blurry shadow of a lone sail slowly appeared on the surface of the sea in the middle of the night, heading towards the dock.

Zhong Qinglu took a deep breath. Suddenly, she felt a strange and indescribable emotion in her heart. She seemed to be in a hurry, as if she was looking forward to it. In the end, she felt a little nervous.

What happened tonight? An uneasy expression. Zhong Qinglu felt that she hated her mood and shook her head.

Not long after, the ship quickly docked in the wind. Then, Zhong Qinglu took two steps forward and looked over. A moment later, two senior apprentice-brothers and senior apprentice-sisters, who were obviously at the Origin Condensation Realm, quickly flew off the ship. Without stopping, they immediately flew into the depths of the island. Behind them, seven or eight disciples of the Qi Refinement Realm slowly walked out of the ship.

Everyone’s expression was very strange. There was not the slightest bit of joy in harvesting. Instead, their expressions were solemn and gloomy. There was no sign of any conversation between them.

When Zhong Qinglu saw this, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. However, she did not come to wait for them. She quickly turned her gaze to look behind them.

Then … there was the empty deck and ship, and no one got off the ship.

It was empty, and there was no one else.

In the darkness, Zhong Qinglu was suddenly stunned. She seemed to take a step forward in disbelief. Then, in an instant, her face was as pale as snow.
