Vol 2 Chapter 55: Foodie

The sound of footsteps in the quiet cave passage, like stones thrown into the calm water, appeared so clear and abrupt, as if they were incompatible with the green and dark surroundings.
In the front and rear, Shen Shi did not see a figure, which made him feel a little strange. It is said that the news from the tomb has indeed been circulating for a period of time. There are many monks who are well-informed here to explore the treasure. Not to mention, but when Shen Shi arrived in the valley today, he clearly saw a lot of monks coming at the same time.
Thirty-six caves obviously reduced the density of the monks who came here, but it didn't seem to be so cold, or that the cave where I was in was just not seen by other monks, so is I the only one right now?
Shen Shi frowned, pondering in his heart, but didn't stop, he still walked slowly toward the depths of the cave with Xiao Hei.
The fairly flat passageway under the feet seemed to be moving along the ground without stopping. At the same time, before she knew it, Shen Shi also suddenly found that the surrounding caves seemed to be much wider, the green gloomy light flickering, and the depth was unpredictable. It was deep underground, and in the trance, there was a feeling as if to come to the Huangquan Underworld in the ancient legend.
In ancient legends, under the thick soil is the place of reincarnation, which is commonly known as the land of the earth. After the creatures in the world age and die, their souls enter the underworld, that is, ghosts and ghosts, and reincarnation here is rebirth. There is no end to life and death.
This myth has been circulated in the world for thousands of years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, in the realm of cultivation, there are not many monks who believe in this thing, just because what you want to cultivate is an immortality, what you want is immortality, and what you cultivate In this life, who wants to look forward to the unknown and ethereal next life?
There is another legend. In addition to the Hongmeng Lord Realm and the Dragon Realm, there is also a ghost realm among the Ten Great Heaven Realms, which is quite similar to this Huangquan Underworld, but for many years, no one has actually seen it.
Shen Shi liked to read books since he was a child. Naturally, he has read these ancient legends, so looking at the gloomy and deserted cave scene around, his expression is a little dignified, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a sudden rush from the front. There was a faint sound of water.
At this moment, he has entered this cave quite far, and he should be deep below the ground after he walked down this way. The sudden sound of water from the front suddenly surprised him, and then he thought about it, maybe it was underground. Where is the underground river?
A slightly moist breeze blew over from the darkness in front of the cave, which seemed to faintly confirm some of his speculations. The little black pig leaned close to him, Shen Shi groaned for a moment, and still whispered: " I’ve gone so far, let’s go and take a look."
The little black pig looked up at him and didn't say anything, but quickly moved on and walked forward.
It was just that they took a few steps, and suddenly their bodies shook slightly at the same time, and then stopped again, Shen Shi's face was gloomy, and the little black pig seemed to be a little nervous, and he snarled twice into the darkness ahead.
A pale, weird white shadow flashed in the darkness, vaguely like a figure, appearing half-sitting and half-leaning on a rock wall in front, and at the same time there was a weird whistling sound from the front. Came quietly.
Shen Shi held his breath, waited for a moment, and walked forward quietly with light steps. After seeing the situation of the person in front of him clearly, his face suddenly changed.
It was a person who looked like a monk, with his head hanging down on his chest and sitting with his back against the stone wall. Only half of his face could be seen from Shen Shi, but the expression of fear on his face could still be seen. . It's just that the muscles on this person's face are stiff, his eyes are wide, but there is no sound, and he has been dead for a long time.
However, what is even more frightening is that there is actually a white shadow on the corpse of the dead monk, which looks like mist and gauze, vaguely like a human figure on the upper body, but the lower body is illusory, like a ghost, which is adsorbed here. On the corpse, the irritation that was difficult to discern with the naked eye was being sucked continuously by it, and the strange pale white shadow that Shen Shi saw just now was also the shadow of this monster.
As if feeling an outsider approaching suddenly, that Bai Ying suddenly raised his head, looked at Shen Shi's side, and showed his face in front of Shen Shi's eyes.
It is a face with all facial features, but like its body, it seems to be composed of a strange white fog. The whole face can distinguish the position of the facial features, but the appearance is strangely vague, even It is impossible to tell whether it is a male or a female, and in those eye sockets, there are no eyes. Only two clusters of flames are burning faintly, revealing a fierce greed, that is an infinite desire to be angry with living things.
"Yinling!"
Shen Shi took a step back, his face sinking like water, but there was not much panic on his face. In the backhand, there was already an extra talisman in the palm of his hand.
Yinling is a kind of ghost and the most common kind of weird monster. In the realms of Hongmeng, ghosts have always been a strange and mysterious thing. Unlike monsters whose ranks are clearly defined, ghosts have not had a class judgment that clearly distinguishes their strength for a long time. This is because the totality of such monsters It’s still quite rare, and it usually only appears in places with heavy shadows, such as ancient tomb cellars for years, or shadow battlefields. Of course, if there is a place where corpses are piled up like a mountain, this kind of ghost is also It will definitely appear.
There are many types of ghosts, and they are not limited to human forms. Many monsters are powerful divine beasts and strange beasts, even after the death of giant dragons and ancient dragons. By chance, corresponding ghosts may be transformed. Of course, this condition is quite harsh. , Quite rare. Generally speaking, the most common ones are ghosts, zombies, and puppets. They are not particularly powerful, but each has its strangeness and is very troublesome to deal with. For example, a ghost like Yinling, whose body is misty and misty, including some magical powers in the Ning Yuan realm, is difficult to hit it, or even after hitting it, the damage will be greatly reduced, which is very troublesome for the monks.
However, Shen Shi saw that after the initial astonishment, his expression quickly calmed down, without any fright. When he was cultivating on Herring Island, he had already seen these ghosts on Demon Island, so he couldn't say there was any special fear. On the contrary, he still knew the weakness of ghosts like Yin Ling.
Yin Ling is not too afraid of some powerful magical powers on the Ning Yuan realm, but they are very afraid of some of the five element magic techniques, waiting if they are born to resist each other. The most obvious power of restraint is also the most powerful. Among the subordinate and five-element spells, the gold-based lightning spells, such as lightning strikes, sky thunder spells, and thunder-falling spells, are extremely restrained and harmful to all kinds of ghosts. obvious. However, it is a pity that Shen Shi hasn't had the opportunity to learn thunder spells so far. After complaining a few regrets in his heart, Shen Shi looked ahead, and his right index finger and clamped a fireball talisman, ready to activate at any time.
Among the five-shaped spells, in addition to the gold-based thunder spells that are naturally the most restrained against ghosts, the fire-based spells are also good at harming ghosts, while the remaining water, wood, and soil spells are much less effective. These experiences are from the books Shen Shi has seen in the past, and he certainly doesn't know why this is the case. Anyway, the predecessors have summed up these things, and they can't be wrong.
The Yin Ling stared at Shen Shi in his wildfire-like eyes, a mad and cruel breath gushing out, and his mouth suddenly opened, and a piercing scream was sent out. Almost at the same time, the pale Yin Ling skyrocketed. Rising up, like a cloud of pale mist, leaped towards Shen Shi.
Shen Shi stared at this group of rushing ghosts, feeling the screaming yin wind rushing on his face, but his body didn't mean to dodge, but his pupils shrank slightly.
A group of dark shadows suddenly jumped out from in front of him, and Xiao Hei unexpectedly rushed over bravely and fearlessly this time, and rushed towards the Yin Ling and his body.
The Yin Ling seemed to hesitate for a while, but perhaps because in the eyes of these ghosts, a black pig and a person belong to the category of living creatures, and there is not much difference, so its attention was quickly lost by Xiao Hei Attracted, after another scream, two groups of white mist floated up, like its two ghost claws, and grabbed Xiao Hei fiercely.
The wind was steep and violent, and the sound of breaking through the air was extremely sharp. When the Yin Ling grabbed it, let alone ordinary people, it was a powerful monster. If it was only a low-level monster of Tier 1 and Tier 2, it would also be difficult to resist. , I am afraid that there will be two more big blood holes coming out of it.
However, Xiao Hei did not see these two fierce claws, and still rushed up aggressively. The next moment, the pale white claws instantly grabbed the sides of its belly, just hearing "Pengpeng" Two muffled noises just rang from Xiao Hei's stomach.
Shen Shi's heart also jumped, and he quickly looked at Xiao Hei, and saw that Yin Ling's sharp claws suddenly bend on Xiao Hei's belly. That aggressive grasp did not even pierce the little black pig's belly. At the same time, Xiao Hei had already hit Yin Ling's chest.
Although Yin Ling looked like mist, but after all, it was not really completely ethereal. After eating this little black, the whole body that looked like white mist flew backwards, and at the same time it still seemed unable to understand this strangely thick skin. The little pig was able to block his own two catches, and screamed again in anger.
However, just when it screamed, the two groups of ghost-fire-like eyes were suddenly blocked by a hotter and brighter light. At that moment, the Yin Ling could not see anymore except for a hot and fast fireball. To anything.
Five elements spells-fireball.
A fireball about half the size of Yin Ling's head was launched by Shen Shi's swift and sensitive stimulus, reaching the Ning Yuan realm and opening up the dantian of the Jade Mansion. After gathering the spiritual power of the whole body, Shen Shi controlled the five-element technique. He has already reached another level. At this time, even if he doesn't use the spiritual power in the mysterious acupuncture point on the center of his eyebrows, just using the spiritual power in the dantian to stimulate the talisman, it takes very little time and he can cast spells at the same time. The number of times is greatly increased.
This is also one of the important reasons why Shen Shi chose the golden stone armor when choosing the first magical power.
The fireball quickly grew bigger in front of Yin Ling's eyes, and the greed and fierceness in the ghost fire quickly turned into despair. The next moment, this fireball hit Yin Ling's face.
"Bang!" A sound.
There is no fancy and strong sound.
The Yinling's body was completely knocked out, the scorching flame burned wildly, and instantly burned its head, as if there was a stern cry in the firelight, but it quickly returned to silence, but the flame went out after a while At that time, Yin Ling's head was gone.
The corners of Chen Shi's mouth twitched slightly. The damage caused by this fireball technique to the yin spirit was indeed quite obvious. It was even unexpected. For no reason, he suddenly thought of being chased by those yin spirit ghosts on the Demon Island. The appearance of fleeing embarrassed, as if vaguely still yesterday.
The cave was quiet again, Shen Shi took a deep breath, and calmed down a lot. As long as the fireball technique still hurts the ghosts here, he doesn't need to be too scared. It was just that soon, a stranger voice suddenly came from the front, groaning, it seemed difficult to tell what it was for a while, and Shen Shi's heart tightened, thinking that a new ghost appeared.
It's just that he looked forward intently, and then he was in a daze, and then his eyes slowly widened, with a strange and weird look, he said in amazement:
"No, Xiao Hei, you can even eat... Yin Ling?"
