Killing God

After walking to the shore, a few steps are the archway that resembles a mountain gate and the stone pier erected in the middle of the road. . Looking at this location, if the stone pier statue was still there in the past, if you want to go through this archway to the road in the forest, you must go around both sides of the stone pier, but I don’t know what it is. .

Shen Shi glanced over the stone pier, and then landed on the forest road ahead. At this moment, he did not know where he was, and surrounded by mysterious blood-eating forests, the road in front of him seemed to be the only choice. .

He was about to walk forward, but as he took two steps forward and looked at the side of the stone pier, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that a piece of debris was randomly discarded on the ground behind the stone pier. The crack is old, but there are obvious traces of artificial chiseling, which looks like a part of a stone sculpture.

Shen Shi's heart moved, and his footsteps stopped immediately. After a while, he walked over and picked up the remnant stone. I took a closer look and found that the remnant stone was about the size of a human head. The stone quality was quite peculiar, with hidden patterns that seemed to be natural. The stone thorns in several broken places seemed to be abrupt, and it seemed that there were still traces of sudden fragmentation. .

Shen Shi looked over and over in his hand for a while, gestured, and then his eyes fell on the stone pier beside him. Unexpectedly, he found that the stone pier seemed to be very similar to the remnant stone.

He thought for a while, and he simply took a step closer and fiddled with the remnant stone on the stone pier. Put it here and there. After a while, he suddenly felt that the stone in his hand sank, but it was about two feet behind the stone pier. The ruler is quietly inserted, and the gap is just right, as if it should be in this position originally.

Shen Shi took a step back and took a look at the stone pier. There was an extra stone placed on it. It didn't seem to change the broken appearance of the stone pier, but it seemed to be much more comfortable than before, but the surroundings were still empty. It was empty, as if it was a blank left by the years.

Shen Shi subconsciously glanced at the surrounding ground, but apart from this remnant, there was no similar stone on the ground. Perhaps the remaining statue parts were long gone.

Shen Shi shrugged and didn't care. Anyway, he was just casual, and he was about to move forward, but at this moment, Xiao Hei suddenly hummed aside.

Shen Shi turned his head and looked, only to see Xiao Hei ran to the side of the road somehow. There was a bush of weeds about a few feet wide, and then the gray trunk of the Blood Devouring Tree. Shen Shi was nervous, and hurriedly called: "Xiao Hei, come here, don't lean too close to that tree."

Xiao Hei didn't mean to come over, but hummed a few times at the wild grass, as if it meant something.

Shen Shi was taken aback, and walked over, standing at Xiao Hei's position and looking into the wild grass, he was stunned for a moment, and saw seven or eight pieces of broken stones lying in the green grass. The strange shapes vary in size, but looking at the material, they all seem to be exactly the same as the stones on the stone pier.

Shen Shi glanced at Xiao Hei at his feet, and Xiao Hei also looked up at him.

The man did not speak, the pig did not bark.

The atmosphere seemed to froze suddenly, and it felt a little strange.

After a while, Shen Shi nodded and said, "Try it."

Xiao Hei seemed a little happy at once, he hummed twice, and wanted to drill into the grass. Who knows that he just moved, he was caught by Shen Shi and threw it aside, glared at it, and said, "Stand not move."

Xiao Hei grumbled twice in his mouth, and seemed to roll his eyes.

Shen Shi raised his head and looked at the Blood Devouring Tree behind the bushes, estimated the distance, and then leaned down cautiously, looking at the remnants in the bushes, reaching out his hand to grab the nearest stone, leaving a corner of his eye. Paying attention to the magic tree in front, his body is taut, and once there is any change in the magic tree over there, he is ready to run away.

However, the Blood Devouring Demon Tree over there did not change anything. Shen Shi successfully got the remnant stone in front of him. This time, he gestured for the stone, which seemed to be larger than the previous remnant stone, and walked back. I went to the stone pier and tried to place it again. After a while, it happened to be a place where the seams were inserted.

Shen Shi's spirit was refreshed, and he turned around again, using the same method several times, carefully picking up all the remaining rocks in the wild grass one by one, from beginning to end, even if he was closest to him. The blood-devouring devil trees are only three or four feet away, but those devil trees still seem to have nothing unusual. This situation is somewhat different from the records he has seen in the books on miscellaneous objects in the past, because according to the text of those scrolls, it seems that the blood-devouring tree will often attack living creatures close to it at a certain distance. Of course, this so-called certain distance is not clearly recorded in the scroll, so Shen Shi thought that perhaps the Blood Devouring Demon Tree only attacks flesh and blood creatures that are very close to them.

After moving all the broken stones back to the stone pier, Xiao Hei followed, bumping around these residual stones here, smelling there, and occasionally hitting a certain stone with pig's feet on it. It seems Looks very interested. While Shen Shi looked left and right, holding the remaining stones in the gap on the stone pier, comparing them one by one, trying to put them back on the stone pier one by one.

With his movements, pieces of remnants gradually returned to their positions on the stone piers, and the remnants bite each other, staggered, and gradually merged into one place. A dilapidated and broken statue gradually became like this little by little. Formation is just those cracks and flaking cavities that can be seen everywhere, like telling how many years this unknown stone statue has gone through, how many vicissitudes of life have been through, and then after unknown many years, in this quiet and gloomy sky Next, just like this quietly reunited quietly.

The forest is still very quiet, no sound of living creatures has ever been heard, it is as quiet as death; and the hazy sky over the forest, somehow, the clouds gradually thicken, making the sky more and more gloomy.

The wind and clouds are rolling, but there is a sense of silence, invisible and colorless, as if from the sky, from all directions, slowly condensing.

※※※

All the remnants returned one by one. In the end, only the largest one was left. It looked about the same size as Xiao Hei's head, with prominent edges and corners. Look at the rest of the stone and look at the rested stone statue, only the last head. Most of the parts are missing.

This should be it.

Shen Shi hugged the last remnant stone, feeling a little laborious for some reason, it seems that this stone is a bit heavier than the other remnants, but after all, he is a Taoist in the Ning Yuan realm, so this weight is not difficult. To him, it was just that he was still a little strange for a while, so at this moment he did not notice the abnormal shape of the surrounding clouds gradually gathering in the sky above his head.

When he put the last remaining stone on the stone pier for a few last times, he found the angle and put it down. He only heard a faint chucking sound between the stone cracks, the stone statue in front of him. Finally it was completely regrouped.

Although at first glance, the stone statue is still damaged, and there are visible holes and bleak traces of peeling everywhere, but in general, the stone statue is still once again, showing the shape it once had before Shen Shi's eyes.

Riding in the clouds and stepping on the fog, the snake has dragon horns on its body, and its fangs and giant eyes are looking at the world, like jealous and indifferent, and the meaning is hard to understand. Shen Shi stepped back two steps and took a close look at the stone statue with broken traces everywhere. After a while, he suddenly stunned, but found that he was a little familiar.

Xiao Hei, who was beside him, also came over, seemingly curious, and raised his two front feet on the stone pier, and brought the pig's head close to the newly piled stone statue and looked left and right.

Shen Shi's gaze swept across Xiao Hei's body, and a strange feeling of inexplicability passed in his heart. After a while, he said:

"It turns out that this stone statue is also a Yin dragon."

Yes, judging from the appearance of this stone statue, although many places are damaged, and even the dragon horns on the head part of the stone statue are broken and can’t be found, from the overall point of view, after the restoration of the stone statue, it is the same as before. The Yinlong stone statue seen in the valley in the Gaoling Mountains is clearly almost exactly the same.

Xiao Hei jumped back with a snap, walked to Shen Shi's side, and looked back at the Yinlong stone statue that was once shattered and now barely restored, and fell silent.

Shen Shi silently stared at the Yinlong stone statue for a moment, shook his head slightly, let out a sigh of relief, and whispered: "Okay, let's go."

After speaking, he raised his foot and walked forward, passing by the broken Yinlong stone statue, and walking on the straight forest road that seemed to bring a bit of gloom.

Xiao Hei followed behind him, but when he passed by the stone statue, it seemed that he couldn't help but looked up again. It was probably because of the light. Xiao Hei suddenly found that he was under the gradually gloomy sky. , On the head of this broken Yinlong stone statue, at the position of two strange dragon eyes, suddenly a shimmer light flashed.

Xiao Hei was startled suddenly, and his steps subconsciously paused, but when he looked closer, he found that the stone statue still seemed to be the same as before, still in a broken and cold appearance, without the slightest anger.

Ahead, Shen Shi yelled from a distance, Xiao Hei hurriedly hummed and agreed, and after thinking about it, he finally didn't pay attention to the stone statue anymore, and ran and chased Shen Shi quickly.

The sky was gloomy, and the dark clouds became thicker and thicker. I don't know when, a little breeze started to blow in this strange blood-eating forest. Those terrifying blood-eating trees swayed their branches and leaves slightly in the breeze, trembling silently.

And in the deepest silence, when the figures of Shen Shi and the little black pig walked away on the forest road, they suddenly drifted out from the deepest part of the darkness in the blood-devouring woods. There was a thick fog.

A thick gray and icy fog quietly spread, covering the road lightly, and the fog seems to be innocent wherever it passes, but apart from the blood-chewing trees, some green grasses that were once green are silent. , Quickly withered and fallen, as if all the anger was robbed in an instant.

The fog was diffused, thicker and thicker, and farther and farther away. Gradually, even the stone statue was a little blurry, and from the depths of the fog, a strange sound suddenly came, and through the dim light, you can see it. There were amazing changes on the stone statue.

Pieces of remnants seemed to be trembling slightly. The cracks in the stones that had once shattered leaned against each other and made a creaking sound, and then they were blended together like this.

The cracks in the stone disappeared bit by bit, and the cracks that once spread all over the stone statue seemed to be erased bit by bit by an invisible but powerful force. In the mist, a brand-new stone statue seemed to be slowly reborn, and a strange one. At this time, the light slowly lit and extinguished from the stone statue. Looking at that direction, it was the dragon eye of the Yinlong stone statue.

The wind seems to be getting stronger.

The fog seems to be getting thicker.

In the endless and silent blood-devouring woods, there is no sound, there are only countless magic trees in the dark corner, in the wind and fog, trembling slightly.
