Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hoof

Shen Shi was taken aback, his gaze swept over the dead black bugs, and finally quickly landed on those nets. At a glance, the appearance of these large webs is very similar to the ordinary spider webs in daily life, of course, the area is much larger, originally at first glance, it felt that the color was yellowish and similar to hemp rope, but after taking a closer look, Shen Shi found that those were actually a strange material that he had never seen before, the yellow-brown color was round and flexible, each web thread was the size of a finger, and there were obvious knots at many edges, obviously someone deliberately used these silk threads to weave a large web with a very fine mesh.

There seems to be a lot of moist water in these strange nets, which look very viscous and can be seen everywhere, and those dead black worms are firmly stuck to these nets after touching these slimes, and can no longer escape.

Shen Shi's face suddenly changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and the expression on his face immediately became a little complicated, as if he was a little surprised and a little vigilant.

If he remembered correctly, in the history of the Wentian Secret Realm for so many years, there were countless opportunities in the secret realm, countless heavenly dangers, and all kinds of dangers, including all kinds of unbelievable powerful demon beasts, but ...... In all the records and legends related to this secret realm, there is a well-known common sense:

There is no one in the Heavenly Secret Realm.

The people mentioned here include not only the human race like Shen Shi, but also other races with intelligence such as the demon race.

No matter how powerful the demon beasts are, it is possible to see them, but no one has ever appeared in the secret realm, except for these elite disciples of the Four Righteous Famous Sects who have entered the secret realm trial.

But Shen Shi looked at the big nets in front of him at the moment, but there was a wave in his heart, and he was shocked, these big nets were obviously specially woven by someone, which was completely different from the handwriting of ordinary demon beasts. Why did this trip to the Secret Realm of Asking Heavens suddenly become so weird, and so many things appeared that were different from the past?

Something must be wrong.

Shen Shi stood in place, staring at the nets and thinking for a while, and suddenly he raised his head suddenly, he had been cautious along the way and did not want to spend more spiritual power in an unfamiliar environment, but he directly took out the snow-pouring short sword that was as bright as autumn water from the Ruyi bag on his waist.

"Blackie, come here. Shen Shi shouted, Xiao Hei ran over, he grabbed the little black pig, and then took a deep breath, urging the sword technique, only to see a spiritual light lit up, from this forest straight to the sky.

The sun is scorching, and the temperature in the desert at this time is gradually getting hotter, and even the occasional wind seems to be steaming. Shen Shi Edgeworth flew directly from this forest to the sky above this oasis, and then looked down from a high place.

Things are a little weird and strange, at this time, Shen Shi feels that the most important thing is to take a closer look at what this oasis is all about, or if there are any dangers hidden in it.

When viewed from a high vantage point in the air, the view is naturally different, and you will immediately see this oasis in full view.

This is an oasis that is not too big, with an area of only about ten acres, of which behind the forest that Shen Shi just walked into, there is a lake that occupies more than half of the place. The water of the lake is clear, the surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, and the trees grow along the shore, which looks very peaceful and quiet, but except for these trees, there seems to be no animals.

In addition, around this oasis, there is a vast and endless yellow sand, at least in the range that Shen Shi can see now, this oasis is like a green pearl, dotted in this desolate desert, which is particularly eye-catching.

After looking at it for a while, I saw that this oasis seemed to be very quiet inside and out, and there was nothing abnormal and dangerous, and at the same time, the surrounding desert was also no different from other places I saw along the way, everything seemed to be calm and normal, although Shen Shi was still a little puzzled in his heart, but he was still relieved, and as soon as his body sank, he was ready to fall back to the ground, after all, his Dao Xing realm was only the middle level of Ning Yuan, and the loss of spiritual power to keep the sword flying was not small.

It was just at this moment that the corner of his eye accidentally swept over the lake, but he saw a ripple suddenly appear on the surface of the originally calm lake, as if something in the lake had swam near the surface of the water.

Shen Shi's heart moved, turned around, and slowly leaned over there.

It was only when he quietly flew to a place near the periphery of the lake that he saw a long jaw stretched out from the other side of the lake in the rippling water, and after biting it into the air a few times, the body of the animal under the water floated, and it looked like a crocodile-like monster five or six feet long.

The crocodile-like demon beast didn't notice Shen Shi in the distance, it seemed to be a little leisurely and lazy, slowly swam to the shore of the lake, and then walked out of the water and lay on the shore of the water's edge. The sun was shining overhead, and the crocodile monster seemed to be basking in the sun, although the sunlight in this desert was so scorching, it didn't seem to care to this monster.

Although this crocodile-like monster that suddenly appeared looked a little terrifying and hideous, its movements were a little lazy, and there was no conflict with the quiet environment of the surrounding lake and woods. It's just that at this moment, in this seemingly peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, suddenly, on a piece of dirt just three feet away from this crocodile demon beast, a piece of soil was suddenly lifted, and two tall figures jumped out of the ground in an instant.

With a roar like the howl of a wild beast, the two figures rushed directly towards the crocodile demon beast, and seemed to have a long-handled weapon in their hands, and stabbed at the demon beast fiercely.

This sudden shock, the position is so close, the originally leisurely and lazy crocodile demon beast obviously did not react, only almost instinctively just looked up to look, was approached by the two figures, and then the two looked like spears, "dong dong" twice, directly broke the flesh and blood, inserted into its body.

The force was so ferocious that it pierced the crocodile monster's body almost instantly, almost pinning it to the ground.

"Whew......"

An earth-shattering roar burst out from the mouth of the crocodile demon beast, and the sudden attack was already seriously injured, and the severe pain that had been seriously injured ignited its anger and ferocity almost instantly. The huge body spun around, only to hear a clatter, one of the two spears inserted into its body had broken directly, and the other spear inserted into its chest was still trembling violently.

The huge crocodile tail flicked it directly, and with a "bang" it sent a person close to it flying, while another tall figure pounced on its back, and then roared like a beast, and took out another short blade and stabbed the crocodile monster in the back.

In the blink of an eye, the back of this demon beast was already bleeding, and the spear still penetrated its body, making it hurt its heart and lungs every time it twisted its body, and the blood gushed out like a spring, even staining the surface of the nearby water red.

However, this demon beast is obviously extremely fierce, at this dangerous moment, it seems to have even inspired the brute in its bones, roared wildly, its body twisted wildly, and with a "snap", accompanied by blood splashing, it actually broke the second spear again.

With that almost irresistible force, the figure that was originally riding on its back was suddenly thrown out involuntarily and fell heavily to the ground, and the sound of pain suddenly sounded.

The crocodile monster beast roared in the sky, covered in blood like a demon, and pounced on the two people in a furious manner, the two people didn't seem to expect this crocodile demon beast to be so powerful, but they were not intimidated, they still gritted their teeth and persevered, and retreated.

But one of them was careless for a while, and he didn't see a tree root under his feet, and when he retreated, he tripped and fell backwards with a scream, and was instantly chased by the terrible crocodile monster, opened his bloody mouth, and bit straight down. Seeing that a tragedy was about to happen, the other person next to him rushed over in shock, but it was too late, and he could only let out a desperate howl.

"Boom!"

A blazing fireball suddenly rushed down from mid-air, hitting the crocodile demon beast's wide-open mouth with incomparable accuracy, straight into the throat.

The huge body of the crocodile demon beast seemed to be suddenly stopped, and after a while, it suddenly roared and rolled backwards, while in front, Shen Shi slowly fell, with a bit of solemnity on his face.

This sudden help made the two people overjoyed, but at this moment, they didn't bother to thank Shen Shi, and the two of them coincidentally pounced on the crocodile demon beast and fought together.

The demon beast, which was already seriously injured, was directly hit into the throat by Shen Shi's powerful fireball technique, and at this moment it was already defeated, and it was powerless to resist under the attack of those two, and tried to escape back into the lake in the middle, but was quickly intercepted by the two experienced people, and finally had to swallow the last breath under the fierce attack of the opponent.

On the shore of the lake, there was a mess, and this battle completely shattered the original calm of this oasis.

After Shen Shi made a move at a critical time, he didn't make another move, but stood in place and looked at the two people, with a complicated look on his face. When the two figures finally killed the crocodile demon beast completely, they breathed a sigh of relief, and when they turned around to look at Shen Shi together, their faces and appearances finally appeared clearly in front of Shen Shi's eyes.

Shen Shi's pupils contracted violently.

The two people in front of him were on the left, with a monkey head and a burly figure, with strange patterns painted on their faces and arms, which looked like totems, and the other was a human wolf head, shorter than his companions, and there were no patterns on his hands.

"Demon Clan......" Shen Shi's throat seemed to suddenly become a little dry, staring at these two people, and slowly spit out these two words.

The two glanced at each other, and then the monkey-headed demon clan took a step forward, showing a little gratitude on his face, but at the same time, he looked at Shen Shi in his eyes, and he was also a little vigilant, and said, "We are the iron monkey of the Blood Fang Clan, the mountain wolf, who are you?"

The corners of Shen Shi's mouth twitched, looking at this monkey-headed demon clan, his heart suddenly swept over the face of an old monkey demon in the past, and his heart ached. Just when he wanted to say something, his eyes swept over the mountain wolf beside the iron monkey, and suddenly his gaze froze, but it fell on one of the hand of the mountain wolf, and he didn't move away for a long time, and his eyes showed a little consternation.

The wolf-headed demon clan named Mountain Wolf looked similar to the iron monkey on his face, and his figure was very similar to that of ordinary demon clans, but in addition to the wolf-shaped head, the palm of his left hand was actually a hoof.

Shen Shi stared at that hand, as if he had seen something incredible, and seemed to be completely stunned.
