Killing God

When the red wave descended from the sky and swept Shen Shi in unstoppably like a rush of thunder, Shen Shi felt that the world in front of him instantly fell into a blood red, and then he seemed to be unable to be controlled by himself anymore. Yuji was carried by the fierce water and crashed into the ground, and then there was endless darkness.

In the darkness where he couldn't see his five fingers, he was hit by the water several times in succession. In panic, he suddenly heard Xiao Hei's hiss in the water not far away, and Shen Shi subconsciously yelled towards him. At the same time, he stretched out his arms desperately. After a few hits in the water, he magically grabbed Xiao Hei's foot and dragged it over.

Xiao Hei was obviously at a loss at this sudden abnormality, and looked a little frightened, but after being caught by Shen Shi and held in his arms, Xiao Hei suddenly became quiet, as if he was leaning against Shen Shi's side. The mind dissipated a lot.

This torrent rushed forward, and the current was extremely fast, and it was getting faster and faster. Shen Shi gradually drifted along with the current and was a little unsupported. His consciousness began to blur, but he was holding Xiao Hei's body tightly in his hands. Perhaps in this danger and yet again In the dark world, he and Xiao Hei are the only objects to be at ease with each other.

When he finally couldn't support it in the darkness, and only felt that the last consciousness in the spinning of the sky would also dissipate, he vaguely saw in front of the rushing water waves, somewhere in the depths of darkness, there was a faint light, a soft light. , Faint light.

Then, he didn't know anything.

※※※

The ticking sound seemed to be coming from afar, but it seemed to fall to my ears, suddenly far and near, crisp and rhythmic.

Shen Shi's body twitched slightly and gradually regained consciousness, but before he opened his eyes, he felt a sudden soreness from all over his body, as if dozens of people were hitting hard with a stick at the same time. He had a meal.

He couldn't help grinning slightly, took a breath, then opened his eyes, and he was instantly stunned when he entered the eyes.

Because he saw the sky.

It was a gloomy sky where gray clouds gathered. Although the light was a little dim, it was like a fake sky.

Shen Shi looked at the sky blankly, and he couldn't recover for a while, because he clearly remembered that he was in the depths of the Gaoling Mountains before being washed away by the current, and the direction of the current rushing was obviously going further. When the darkness is deeper and deeper underground, how can I see the sky?

After thinking for a while, I couldn’t figure out what was going on. Shen Shi also shook his head and gave a wry smile. Just at this moment, he heard a sudden splash of water not far from his side, and turned his head to look. Seeing Xiao Hei, he also saw clearly where he was at the moment.

This seems to be a swamp-like place, a pond about an acre size, with lush grass, clear water, and the surface of the water is clear. You can even see the mud and stones under the water, and there are some small fish the size of fingers that cannot be named. Swim around in comfort. For some reason, Shen Shi fell into this swamp-like pond at this moment.

He sat up, with a sudden sound of splashing water, and found that his whole body was completely wet, and not far from him, Xiao Hei seemed to wake up earlier than Shen Shi and ran over in the water. , There were countless water splashes all the way, and he leaned close to Shen Shi's side, dangling, very affectionate.

Shen Shi smiled and nodded to it. Anyway, even if you don't know where you are at the moment, as long as Xiao Hei is with him, this will always make people feel more comfortable. He immediately stood up tentatively, and found that except for some physical injuries from the collision, he didn't seem to have suffered any more injuries, and he felt a little relieved.

Standing wet in the middle of the pond, Shen Shi looked around, and saw that there was a gray-black forest around the pond. The reason for this was that all the trees around the pond were of the same kind of weirdness. Gray-black strange trees, not only the trunks and branches are of this color, even the leaves that grow out of them are gray-black.

This strange gray tree is densely covered around the pond, only in the direction to the north, it seems to be the exit of the pond, a four or five feet wide waterway flows slowly from there, and both sides of the waterway are also covered. This kind of gray-black forest.

Chen Shi stared at the gray trees around the pond for a while, his face was a bit cloudy, and after a while, he suddenly leaned down and stretched his hands under the water. Xiao Hei beside him couldn't figure out what his master wanted to do. What, gave him a surprised look.

Shen Shi looked at the water calmly, with his hands slightly closed. After a while, a small fish in the pond swam over. Shen Shi clasped his hands and lifted it out of the water, splashing water from between his palms. , The little fish began to jump up in his palm.

Shen Shi carefully grabbed the little fish. After staring for a while, he suddenly raised his hand and threw it towards the edge of the pond. The little fish drew an arc in mid-air and quickly landed on the trunk of a gray tree. .

The free fish of Chad struggled desperately, looking panicked, twisting his body to jump back to the pond, but for some reason, the body of the little fish that should have fallen suddenly stiffened and did not fall from the tree trunk. Luo, the scene looked quite strange, as if... this little fish was stuck by something.

The little fish didn’t die or suffered any harm. It just leaned on the side of the tree trunk and couldn’t break free. So the little fish was still struggling desperately, but at this moment, the gray tree made a giggle. With a strange sound, a few branches slowly fell from above, and the gray leaves of the branches of the treetops were pasted on the trunks, so that under Shen Shi's gaze, the figure of the little fish was covered.

After a while, the little fish that was still bouncing not long ago disappeared like this, and when I looked around at this time, this gray-black dense and dark forest suddenly seemed so gloomy.

Shen Shi's face also slowly became difficult to look, and he retracted his gaze from the strange tree, with a bit of arduousness, and said softly:

"Blood-eater."

※※※

The blood-devouring tree was born in another realm, not owned by the main realm of Hongmeng. Its nature is gray and hard, and the body is dark and dark. It is not afraid of droughts and floods, but is addicted to flesh and blood. Demon trees of monsters and even human monks.

In the past, when Shen Shi was reading a book, he had seen this kind of magic tree record in a miscellaneous article. It mentioned that the blood-devouring tree was very strange. If a living thing was contaminated near this tree, the blood-devouring tree would secrete a strange kind. The mucus firmly sticks to the prey, and then swallows it. Some low-level monsters encounter this kind of magic tree. It is said that they will undoubtedly die. As for the human monks, there are not many records, but the article speculates that if the Ning Yuan realm monks encounter this weirdness I am afraid that it is difficult to cope with the magic tree.

However, in the records, this fearsome blood-eating tree only grows in some extremely remote alien worlds, and most of them are in some inaccessible wild jungles. It is rare to say nothing, even if found occasionally. There was a tree growing alone, like the blood-eating woods that Shen Shi saw at this moment, but he had never heard of it.

Seeing the fate of the little fish just now, and thinking about the written records about the blood-devouring tree that I had read before, Chen Shi suddenly felt that a chill was coming across his body, but this small pond was affected by so many weird Surrounded by blood-eating trees, it really makes your scalp numb.

The sky is still gloomy, and the gray-black forest under the clouds is quiet and silent. It seems that even light can't penetrate in, and some are just endless darkness. Shen Shi even faintly felt that in the darkness of the forest, something strange seemed to be looking at him quietly and coldly.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Shi withdrew his gaze from the blood-eating forest with some difficulty, whispered to Xiao Hei, then raised his eyes and walked towards the exit of the pond which was the only way out.

As for the magic trees near the shore, he didn't want to pass by at all, even a single bit.

The water splashed and rippled under his feet, and a circle of ripples appeared in the original pond. Chen Shi carefully looked at the surrounding situation, and suddenly thought of a question. There are so many blood-eating trees. The trees are so tall and dense, how do they usually survive and grow?

I don’t know if it’s because of this blood-eating forest. He suddenly felt that there seemed to be something strange around him. After carefully looking around, Chen Shi found that besides some small fish swimming in the pond, he was surrounded by others. There is no breath of creatures.

No birds, no roars of beasts, not even the most common and ordinary insects, there is a dead silence everywhere, as if all the anger has disappeared here, or it is completely sucked by this gray-black forest. Did it.

The corner of Chen Shi's eyes twitched slightly, and he became more careful when he walked. He only walked in the middle of the water channel, and didn't want to get close to the shore of the water at all, but the water channel at this exit was only four or five feet wide at most, and the blood-eating trees on both sides It grows densely, and some branches are even very close to the water.

As I walked, I can't see the end in front, but as far as I can see, the waterway flows calmly and slowly, and the blood-eating trees on both sides of the bank seem to be endless, extending forever.

With the sound of water splashing, even Xiao Hei seemed to have noticed something at this moment. He appeared to be extremely honest and quietly followed Shen Shi's feet.

Just as Shen Shi was a little at a loss, not knowing how to leave this strange and dangerous blood-devouring forest, in front of him, the waterway suddenly turned, but suddenly an open space appeared.

Shen Shi's spirits suddenly trembled, and he walked a few steps quickly, and found that another pool of similar size appeared in front of him. The difference is that this time, although the front of the pool is also those strange blood-eating forests, but in Lin Lin There was an extra road in between, extending straight forward, without knowing where to lead.

And at the very front of this forest road, on the open space in front of the pond, an archway was erected. There seemed to be some writing on it, but it was now blurred. Under the archway, in the middle of the road, there is a stone pier. The stones on it are sharp and jagged. It looks like something like a statue originally placed here, but after a long period of time, only left is left. Under the remaining broken stone seat.

Although he doesn't know where this road leads, Shen Shi subconsciously breathes a sigh of relief when he sees this scene. Walking in these magic forests that may be swallowed at any time, the pressure on people is really great.

He led Xiao Hei across the pond and onto the ground, then turned and glanced behind him, only to see that the water waves gradually calmed down, and there seemed to be no trace left along the way.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but leaned over to Xiao Hei and asked in a soft voice, "Can you smell the scent of those waiting family members here?"

Xiao Hei shook his head blankly.
