Vol 3 Chapter 21: White light

Chapter 21 White Light
A foul smell blew out as the stone slab was lifted. Shen Shi frowned and pulled Xiao Hei back a few steps to let the limelight out.
In this empty ruin, after being blown by the hot wind in the desert, the smell quickly dissipated with the wind. After waiting for a while, after confirming that the smell had been blown away by the wind, Shen Shi re-closed to the dark cave that emerged underground and looked down carefully.
In the eye, because of the falling sky, the vicinity of the black hole's entrance is illuminated. It can be seen that the stone wall at the edge of the entrance is still flat and seems to have been manually excavated. In addition, the black hole is in the ruins of this house. In the house, it felt a bit like the cellar of this family in ancient times or a secret room secretly dug out.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi pondered a little, then looked around, and saw that there was still silence in the ruins at this moment, except for the strange but also very quiet tall stone pillars, there was no movement or silence. The sun in the sky looked a little westward, the sky softened, and the hottest time of the day seemed to have passed.
Shen Shi thought for a while, stretched out his right hand to summon a small fireball at random, and then fell lightly into the black hole. This move was just to wait and see, so he didn't use his full strength, and the flame was not powerful, but it burned to light up a surrounding area, and slowly fell into the dark cave.
As the fire lit up, Shen Shi quickly saw that this was a vertical corridor with a length of about three feet, but when descending to a depth of six or seven feet, it was easy to see the bottom, and then on one side wall, another An opening was opened, extending inward.
Shen Shi hesitated for a while, and decided to go down and check it out, but of course he had to bring Xiao Hei with this kind of thing, so he took the little black pig who was still a little lazy on the side and smiled. : "Xiao Hei, let's go down and have a look."
With that said, he didn't wait for Xiao Hei to react, so he jumped down.
This height is certainly not enough for the Ning Yuan realm cultivator, but when he jumped to the bottom of the cave, Shen Shi still smelled a bit of the smell that rushed out not long ago, although it was obviously not as strong as the entrance of the cave, but still obviously. Think about this place like a cellar, maybe it has been closed for thousands of years, then it doesn't seem too strange to have this smell.
Shen Shi turned this thought in his mind, and placed Xiao Hei on the ground, motioning this rough-skinned guy to go ahead.
Xiao Hei grumbled in his mouth, obviously dissatisfied with the errand, but it didn't seem to be afraid of danger or something, but his nose had a keen sense of smell, and he was very annoyed by the smell here.
Even so, one person and one pig continued to walk forward. The underground passage on the stone wall was not wide nor narrow, just enough to accommodate one person, and it was not too long. Only after walking six or seven steps in Shenshi Recalling the fireball in his hand to illuminate, in front of his eyes, there appeared a stone chamber that was obviously excavated.
The stone room doesn’t look big, and the layout is square. The ground is covered with a thick layer of dust. There are many rotten altars, pots, and broken shelves in several corners. It is indeed a cellar in the old home.
At this moment, Xiao Hei suddenly yelled in a low voice, with some vigilance in his tone, staring at somewhere in the stone chamber. And Shen Shi's gaze was also looking at that place.
The fireball used for lighting swayed in the darkness of this underground stone room, emitting a bright light. In the shaking and shaking of light and shadow, they also saw a corpse in the corner of the stone room.
It seemed that it was a human-shaped skeleton lying on the ground in the corner of the stone room, with the body still curled up. From the twisted appearance, it seemed that he was going through some pain during his lifetime. There is almost no clothing or flesh on this corpse, and it seems to have been decayed and turned into dust for a long time. Lying in this darkness, the white bones were even more weird and creepy.
However, neither Shen Shi nor Little Black Pig had the appearance of frightening their feet and tears like ordinary people. Years of experience had long made Shen Shi's mind very tough. But at this moment, his face suddenly showed a strange look, which seemed to be shocked and doubtful. After hesitating for a while, he slowly walked over and squatted beside the corpse. Down.
Xiao Hei slowly followed Shen Shi and stood at his feet, a pair of pig eyes also seemed to have strange emotions.
Shen Shi's gaze slowly swept over the corpse, looking at the skeleton that had even started to turn black and gray because of the long time. From the limbs to the body, it was a human-shaped skeleton, but when it reached the neck, In the place where it was supposed to be a skull, the skeleton suddenly became weird.
It's not like an ordinary human race with a relatively round head. Looking at the protruding bones, the shape is weird. If you really want to elaborate, it is more like some kind of animal that Shen Shi has seen in the day.
Shen Shi looked at this skeleton, especially its head, for a long time, then turned his head and glanced at Xiao Hei, and said softly:
"Xiao Hei, this is a monster."
※※※
For all the human races in this world, the word "demon race" is certainly not unfamiliar. Even though so many years have passed since the battle between humans and monsters 10,000 years ago, countless history books record oral history, but it is still remembered. Lived in the once powerful race. What's more, although the remaining elites of the demon race retreated to the demon world and destroyed their artifacts to cut off their retreat, there are still many relatively weak demon tribes remaining in the other worlds connected to the Hongmeng main world.
For Shen Shi, the meaning of the two words Yaozu is completely different from ordinary people. After all, he accidentally arrived in the Demon Realm and survived there for three years.
It's just that if you just see the corpse of a demon clan, it's not a big deal, but don't forget where Shen Shi is at the moment, this is Wentian secret realm.
Wentian Secret Realm is a strange secret realm found and opened up by Wentian, the head of the six holy sages of the human race in the past. Mysterious changes include countless opportunities and countless mysterious and strange creatures, and of course there are many unpredictable dangers. Except for these, as far as Shen Shi knows, the Wentian secret realm has been opened countless times over the past tens of thousands of years, but there has never been a demon race in the secret realm, even if it is a dead demon race.
At this moment, Shen Shi's heart was ups and downs, and even he himself couldn't tell exactly what he was feeling at the moment. The corpse and beast head in front of him, based on his experience in the demon world for several years, can almost be recognized at a glance. The characteristics of the monster clan that are not clear, can it be said that even in the Wentian secret realm, the monster clan had existed before the ancient years?
Shen Shi faintly felt that something was wrong, and soon he subconsciously thought of the abnormal change when he just entered the Wentian Secret Realm, and then he slowly stood up, and a trace of anxiety passed through his heart. During this trip to the Wentian Secret Realm, it seemed that something unknown and unpredictable had happened beyond my imagination.
Standing in place and staring at the strange corpse of the monster race for a while, Shen Shi calmed his mind and searched in this underground secret room, but apart from this sentence of the corpse of the monster race, there was nothing unusual here. The place seems to be just a plain old cellar.
Shen Shi shook his head, and after thinking for a moment, he called to Xiao Hei and left the cellar.
When he returned to the ground, the sun was sinking. Seeing that it was about to fall to the horizon of the western desert, even the sky was dimmed. It seemed that there had been a lot of time under this cellar before. Shen Shi looked around, and saw that in this twilight evening, the ruins were even more desolate. The various shadows that were invisible at noon in the day were all stretched very long at this time, and the tall ones The stone pillars stand inside and outside the ruins, and they seem to be a bit gloomy.
Shen Shi frowned and walked forward, Xiao Hei followed him, and suddenly he shook his nose and shook his body.
A gust of wind blows, blowing a layer of yellow sand, passing by them, hissing soft sounds, inside and outside the ruins, sounded and low, as if someone's inexplicable footsteps added a few more in the desolation Points weird.
When the wind passed by his body and his clothes floated, Shen Shi suddenly felt a chill.
He raised his brows and stopped. In the daytime, the desert was still hot, and even the wind blowing through seemed to burn as uncomfortably uncomfortable. However, after only a few hours, the sun looked terrible. When it was about to fall, the temperature here seemed to be dropping rapidly.
The setting sun seems to be taking away all the light and heat from this land!
But I don't know why, when darkness gradually began to fall, and a cloud of coldness gradually enveloped this land, Shen Shi felt that this desert suddenly began to have vitality.
In the quiet place of unknown corners far and near, some faint but weird sounds began to come slowly, like the sound of insects and wind blowing through holes, occasionally a bit stern, like the call sign of an ancient soul, but soon It was annihilated by a lower but huge sound.
Shen Shi suddenly raised his head and looked up.
At that moment, the last light of the setting sun on the horizon also disappeared, and the dark night in this desert finally came.
All the tall, odd-shaped stone pillars sounded strange sounds at the same time, densely dense and deep and far-reaching. At first, it was just a few stone pillars nearby. Gradually, all the stone pillars moved and connected, forming a wave of howling.
The night is sad.
After a while, Shen Shi suddenly saw that on the stone pillar closest to him, in the large and hard yellow clay stone face in the upper half, suddenly dented in somewhere, and a small hole appeared.
Then, from the hole, a black worm the size of a palm slowly crawled out. The whole body was pitch black, and only one pair of wings turned out to be silvery and shiny.
The bug slowly turned around in place a few times, seeming to observe its surroundings, and then suddenly raised its head after a while, and a sharp, high-pitched and weird chirp passed across the night, almost at the same time, countless Similar screams sounded at the same time, surging like waves.
The worm fluttered its wings, the silver-white brilliance instantly obscured its black body, and it flew straight into the night sky and turned into a spot of light. However, this was only the beginning. When Shen Shi was shocked, suddenly, In this originally dark night sky, there was a sudden thunder and a roar of heaven and earth. Only in an instant, countless points of light lit up in the night sky, shining brightly, and turned into a brilliant and incomparable glory. The huge white light curtain covered the entire night sky, which was extremely spectacular.
Standing under the ruins, Shen Shi looked up at this rare scene, speechless.
