Killing God

Nothing happened along the way, the big boat safely returned to Herring Island, and under the night, everyone dispersed. .

Shen Shi went back to the cave alone, practiced as usual, rested, and on the next day, went to the herring market to exchange the gains of the day for spirit crystal rewards, although the spirit crystal income did not feel good after being in the Ruyi ring. What, but Shen Shi still sent out a sense of satisfaction from his heart, he was in a good mood, and he even walked a lot more briskly along the way, until he returned to the cave in Baiyu Bay, and saw a figure standing beside him. the door.

Zhong Qinglu turned her head and saw him coming, and waved to him expressionlessly.

Shen Shi's heart skipped a beat, he gave a dry laugh, and walked over.

The two looked at each other, Shen Shi scratched his head and said, "Morning."

Zhong Qinglu said lightly, "Morning."

After finishing these two extremely simple greetings, the two of them didn't say anything more. Suddenly, they seemed to be in a weird cold atmosphere. A colleague who happened to pass by here saw this scene, and they all voted Curious and strange eyes.

Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu quickly noticed the strangeness around them, Zhong Qinglu frowned, and Shen Shi whispered: "Let's go in and talk about it."

Zhong Qinglu nodded, and Shen Shi stepped forward to open the stone door with a cloud talisman, and the two entered the stone room of the cave mansion. After Shen Shi was relieved, before he could think about what to say, Zhong Qinglu had already Looking straight at him with a straight face, even the voice seemed a little cold, and said: "Yesterday, I failed in alchemy."

"..." Shen Shi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he got to his mouth, he found that he didn't seem to know what to say, and seeing Zhong Qinglu's indifference, he didn't seem to care about it , but the two white palms hanging by the sides were clenched into fists at some point, and even the knuckles of the fingers looked a little pale.

Shen Shi sighed softly, but finally didn't say anything, took out ten spirit crystals from the wishful ring, smiled, handed them to her, and said: "This is the reward I got from going to Demon Island yesterday. .”

Zhong Qinglu glanced at the sparkling spirit crystals on his palm, and then his eyes fell on Shen Shi's face. After one night, of course the wound no longer bleeds, but the bruised scars are still somewhat shocking.

Zhong Qinglu's lips seemed to tremble slightly, but her hand was still hanging by her side, and for some reason she didn't reach out to take it.

Shen Shi glanced at her, took a step forward, stuffed the ten spirit crystals into her hands, and then said with a smile: "Take it quickly, or I'll say I promise you with your body again."

A trace of blush flashed across Zhong Qinglu's cheeks, as if her courage returned to her body, she gave Shen Shi a hard look, and Shen Shi nodded to her without saying anything.

Zhong Qinglu suddenly turned around and strode towards the door, at the same time, she seemed to be gritting her teeth and said loudly: "Just wait, I will show you my skills sooner or later!"

Shen Shi shook his head behind her and gave a wry smile.

In this transaction, or a gamble, at least now, it seems that Shen Shi is still in a situation where he has lost miserably, and he does not wish to admit defeat. Although he feels sorry for those spirit crystals who lost the bet, he is still able to accept it. , At the same time, I am comforting myself with the vision that the future may be good.

The days are still passing day by day. Although it is the Dao of Immortal Cultivation and the Spiritual Realm of Immortal Mountain, in general, the life on Herring Island has been passed for a long time, and it is still a bit boring.Everyone is working hard for the dream of cultivating immortals, for the somewhat illusory dream of becoming a fairy, and working hard every day for those small shiny stones, doing things and practicing.

After Ling Xiaozong revised the rules of Yao Island, the number of Qi Refining disciples who went to Yao Island to catch monsters suddenly decreased a lot. In the first few times, only Shen Shi and Gan Ze went there.However, as the days passed, more and more high-level disciples of Qi refining realm came to Yao Island, but it is obvious that compared with the calmness of the past, when everyone boarded Yao Island, they are not so energetic now. up.

Conceited in life and death, and do what we can, these are the words Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibo have personally [***] treated everyone who boarded the boat and landed on the island. While speaking, their attitudes were clear and firm, the big boat is safe, they They will ensure that everyone is safe, but after disembarking, even if they are dying on the seawall under the boat, they will definitely stand by and watch.

Such strict rules can even be said to be unprecedentedly strict, making every Qi-refinement realm disciple here trembling, so the monster targets they choose are generally lower in strength than the prey they hunted in the past One or two grades, as for the area of ​​the most core monster hunting cave in the depths of the demon island, almost no one dares to go there.

As a result, the area around Yaodao became much more lively than before, and many high-level disciples of the Qi Refining Realm who would never come here would come and go here from time to time, which indirectly affected Shen Shi. Although there are still few people who can take a fancy to the lowest-level monsters such as armored armadillos and windbirds, several people pass by and see them, and often kill them easily...

As a result, Shen Shi's harvest has decreased a bit, but in general, because there are many monsters on Yao Island, he can still hunt low-level monsters as long as he walks farther along the beach, so it's not a big deal. special trouble.And as the days passed, the situation on Yao Island seemed to be the same as before. Those high-level disciples of the Qi Refining Realm gradually became more courageous and began to go deep into the depths of Yao Island. More and more disciples went to Demon Island.

Soon, the number of people on that big boat increased from only two people, Shen Shi and Gan Ze, to sixteen or seventeen. Although it was a little less than when the number was the largest before, it was almost back to its most prosperous time. .And on the demon island, Shen Shi also found that in his "territory", the original harassment had disappeared, and those brothers and sisters had gone deep into the demon island again, and they no longer looked down on these cheap things on the periphery.

The only difference from the past is that Gan Ze's treatment on the boat seems to be quite different from the past. There is no such situation as before and after being surrounded by stars and the moon. On the contrary, many people look at him in a strange way , there is a feeling of avoiding him, and not many people will come to his side.

But because there were only two people on the same boat in the first few days, Shen Shi and Gan Ze gradually became acquainted, and they usually chatted when they met each other. Nice guy.

This kind of life seems to be going on quietly, including the abnormality of the ghostly lynx that Shen Shi once thought about in his heart, and there is no other similar sign, it seems that it is just a coincidence, everything is very Normal, just like before.

But one month later, at noon on a certain day, a mournful cry came from the depths of the dense forest, shaking the entire Demon Island, and immediately shaking everyone on Herring Island.

The first Qi Refining Realm disciple who died under the claws of a monster appeared.

※※※

The person who died was named Sha Zijin, a high-ranking disciple of the Qi Refining Realm, who joined the Lingxiao Sect earlier than Shen Shi and other new disciples.Shen Shi has also seen this person on weekdays, and he has some impressions of him, because he is one of the four-person team headed by Chen Tang, and he is also considered a member of the small circle who went to the demon island to hunt monsters. He is well-known, and he can be regarded as a recognized master of monster hunting.

But it was just such a person who died on Demon Island at such a noon without warning. When his body was dragged back to the boat by his companion with red eyes, everyone on the boat fell silent.

The body was bloody, with scratches and bite marks all over the body, most of which were on the upper body, and even a small half of the face had been lost, it looked really horrible.

Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai appeared on the deck as soon as the screams came out. Although everyone could see the anxious expressions on their faces, they still did not disembark after all, but just stood on the deck like this Go up, silently waiting for Chen Tang and others to bring Sha Zijin's body back.

Shen Shi stood in the crowd, looking at the corpse, silent. When he accidentally turned his eyes away, he found that Gan Ze was also standing not far from him at some point, staring there silently.

As if feeling Shen Shi's gaze, Gan Ze turned his head to look at him, Shen Shi's lips moved, and said softly: "Be careful in the future."

Gan Ze nodded, lowered his voice, and said, "You too."

The next day, the number of people going to Demon Island dropped by two-thirds.

※※※

For Sha Zijin's accidental death, Ling Xiaozong did not give any explanation here, and in fact no more explanation is needed.

Today's Yao Island, the rules have already made it clear that every Qi Refining Realm disciple who goes to Yao Island actually understands in his heart that it is walking a tightrope between life and death.It's just that before Sha Zijin's death, everyone didn't have a particularly clear understanding. They always thought that the monsters on Yao Island were nothing more than that, and they could easily deal with them in the past. Could it be that they couldn't kill the same opponents now?

In the past, how many dangerous monsters were defeated and killed by everyone, and the price was at most only a little more serious injury, there has never been a real death.

until this time...

After this happened, friends around Shen Shi came to visit one after another, and many of them persuaded him, including Sun You and Zhong Qingzhu, especially Zhong Qingzhu. It seemed that Sha Zijin's accidental death gave her Not a small stimulus made her very worried about Shen Shi's safety, she tried to persuade Shen Shi not to go to Yao Island several times, her words were very anxious, especially for Shen Shi who had to go to Yao Island in order to earn spirit crystals Behavior is very sad.

Shen Shi managed to persuade her, and he also felt that Zhong Qingzhu's reaction seemed a little too big, but since the adventure in the storm [***] three years ago, he has become somewhat close to Zhong Qingzhu , so I patiently persuaded her.In comparison, another girl surnamed Zhong, Zhong Qinglu, showed somewhat weird emotions.

After hearing the news that people would die when going to Demon Island, Zhong Qinglu also came to Shen Shi's cave, but after seeing Shen Shi, Zhong Qinglu just looked at him for a while, but didn't say a word of persuasion for a long time. After leaving ten spirit crystals, he turned around and left, making Shen Shi depressed for a while.

Everyone is here to cultivate and become immortal, not to risk your life; you go to Yao Island to earn spirit crystals to practice better, and it is not to risk your life; or it is difficult to cultivate immortals, and there will be times when you need to risk your life in the future. But wouldn't it be better to fight for your life in the future when you have all kinds of spiritual channel skills in your body?At least the confidence is greater, this is not the only way to earn spirit crystals, why risk your life to go to Demon Island?

As a result, the number of people going to Demon Island is decreasing day by day, and the deck of the big ship is getting more lonely every day.

Finally on a certain day, Shen Shi boarded the boat, looked around, and found that there were only him and Gan Ze left on the huge deck.
