Chapter 21: White Light

A corrupt and foul-smelling smell blew out as the stone slab was lifted, Shen Shi frowned, pulled Xiao Hei back a few steps, and got out of the way.

And in this empty ruin, after being blown by the hot wind of the desert, the smell quickly dissipated with the wind. After waiting by the side for a while, and confirming that the smell had been blown away by the wind, Shen Shi re-approached the dark cave that emerged from the underground and looked down carefully.

In the eye, because the sky is falling, the entrance of this black hole is illuminated a little, and it can be seen that the stone wall at the edge of the hole is quite flat, it seems to have been excavated by hand, and this black hole is in the ruins of this house, it feels a bit like the cellar of this family in ancient times or the secret room that was secretly dug out.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi groaned slightly, and then looked around, only to see that there was still silence in this ruin at this moment, except for those strange but also very quiet tall stone pillars, there was no movement. The sun in the sky looked a little wester, the sky softened, and the hottest part of the day seemed to have passed.

Shen Shi thought for a moment, stretched out his right hand and summoned a small fireball at random, and then fell lightly towards the black hole. This action was just to wait and see, so it didn't use all its strength, and the flame didn't have much power, just burned and lit up the surrounding place, and slowly fell into the dark cavern.

As the firelight lit up, Shen Shi quickly saw that this was a vertical corridor with a length and width of about three feet, but when he walked to a depth of six or seven feet, he saw the bottom, and then opened another passage opening on a side wall and extended it inside.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but decided to go down to check it out, but of course this kind of thing can't be done without bringing Xiao Hei, so he easily fished out the little black pig that was still a little lazy lying on the side, smiled, and said, "Xiao Hei, let's go down and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he jumped off without waiting for Xiao Hei to react.

This height was of course not enough for the Ning Yuan Realm cultivator, but when he jumped to the bottom of the cave, Shen Shi still smelled a little bit of the stench that rushed out not long ago, although it was obviously not as strong as the cave entrance at the beginning, but it was still obvious. Considering that this cellar-like place may have been sealed off for thousands of years, it doesn't seem too strange that there is such a stench.

Shen Shi turned this thought in his heart, put Xiao Hei on the ground, and motioned for this rough-skinned guy to walk in front.

Xiao Hei muttered, obviously a little dissatisfied with this errand, but it didn't seem to be afraid of danger or anything, but it had a keen nose and smell, and was very annoyed by the smell here.

Despite this, a man and a pig continued to walk forward, the underground passage on the stone wall was not wide or narrow, just enough for one person to walk, and it was not too long, only six or seven steps away, under the light of the fireball that Shen Shi re-summoned to his hand for lighting, in front of him, there was an obviously excavated stone room.

The stone chamber doesn't look too big, the layout is square, the ground is covered with a thick layer of dust, and there are a few rotten jars and jars and broken shelves in a few corners, which looks like a cellar in the old days.

At this moment, Xiao Hei suddenly let out a low cry, his tone was a little vigilant, and his eyes were staring at a certain place in this stone room. And Shen Shi's gaze was also looking at that place.

The fireball used for lighting swayed in the darkness of the underground stone chamber, emitting a bright light, and in the shaking of light and shadow, they also saw that there was a corpse in the corner of the stone chamber.

It looked like a humanoid skeleton lying on the ground in the corner of the stone room, its body still curled up, as if it had been in some kind of pain in its life. The corpse had almost no clothes or flesh on it, and it was supposed to have decayed and turned into dust over a long period of time. Sen Sen's white bones are lying in this darkness, which adds a bit of weirdness and makes people a little creepy.

However, whether it is Shen Shi or the little black pig, he does not look like an ordinary person who is scared with weak feet and a broken heart, and many years of experience have long made Shen Shi's heart tenacious and abnormal. It's just that at this moment, his face suddenly showed a strange look, as if he was a little shocked and a little puzzled, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly walked over and squatted down beside the corpse.

Xiao Hei slowly followed Shen Shi and stood still at his feet, and there seemed to be a bit of strange emotion in his pig eyes.

Shen Shi's gaze slowly swept over the corpse, looking at the skeleton that had even begun to turn black and gray because of too much time, from the limbs and body, it was a humanoid skeleton, but when it reached the neck, in the place where it should have been a skull, the skeleton suddenly became weird.

It didn't have a relatively round head like ordinary human beings, and the bones were protruding and weird in shape, but if you really want to talk about it in detail, it was more like some kind of animal that Shen Shi had seen in the past.

Shen Shi looked at this skeleton, especially its head, and was silent for a long time, then turned his head to look at Xiao Hei, and said softly:

"Xiao Hei, this is a demon clan. ”

※※※

For all the human races in this world, the word "demon race" is certainly not unfamiliar, even if so many years have passed since the bloody war between the demons and demons 10,000 years ago, but countless historical books record the history passed down by word of mouth, but it still makes people remember the once extremely powerful race. What's more, although the remnants of the demon clan in the past retreated to the demon realm and self-destructed the artifact to cut off the retreat, in the rest of the other realms connected to the Hongmeng main realm, there were still many relatively weak remnants of the demon clan.

For Shen Shi, the meaning of the word demon clan is completely different from that of ordinary people, after all, he had accidentally arrived in the demon world and survived there for three years.

It's just that if you just see the corpse of a demon clan, it's actually not a big deal, but don't forget the place where Shen Shi is at this moment, this is the secret realm of Wentian.

Wentian Secret Realm is a strange secret realm found and opened up by Yuan Wentian, the head of the six saints of the human race in the past, with magical changes, which contain countless chances and countless magical and strange creatures, and of course, there are many unpredictable dangers. It's just that in addition to these, as far as Shen Shi knows, the Wentian Secret Realm has been opened countless times in the past ten thousand years, but no demon clan has ever appeared in the secret realm, even if it is a demon clan that has died.

At this moment, Shen Shi's heart fluctuated, even he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment, the corpse beast head in front of him, with his years of experience in the demon world, could almost be identified at a glance as the characteristics of the demon clan, could it be said that even in the secret realm of Wentian, before the ancient years, the demon clan also existed?

Shen Shi faintly felt that something seemed to be wrong, and soon he subconsciously thought of the change when he had just entered the Wentian Secret Realm, and then he slowly stood up, a trace of uneasiness passed through his heart, and he felt that this trip to the Wentian Secret Realm seemed to have undergone some unknown and unpredictable changes outside of his imagination.

Standing in place and staring at the strange demon corpse for a while, Shen Shi calmed down and searched in this underground secret room again, but except for this demon corpse, there was nothing unusual here, it seemed to be just an ordinary and ancient cellar.

Shen Shi shook his head, and after thinking for a moment, he called out to Xiao Hei and left the cellar.

When I returned to the ground, I saw that the sun was sinking in the west, and I saw that it was about to fall below the horizon of the desert to the west, and even the sky was darkening, and it seemed that I had been delayed for a long time under this cellar. Shen Shi looked around, only to see that in this dusk and evening, this ruin was even more desolate, and all kinds of shadows that could not be seen at noon during the day were stretched very long at this time, and the tall stone pillars towered inside and outside this ruin, which seemed to be a little eerie and terrifying.

Shen Shi frowned, walked forward, Xiao Hei followed beside him, suddenly snorted, and shook his body.

A gust of wind blew, blowing up a layer of yellow sand, passing by them, and the sound of sizzling and whispering sounded and fell inside and outside the ruins, as if the inexplicable footsteps of someone added a bit of weirdness to the desolation.

The wind passed by his side, his clothes floated, and Shen Shi suddenly felt a chill.

He raised his eyebrows and stopped, for in the middle of the day, the desert was still scorching, and even the wind that blew was as uncomfortable as if it were burning, but only a few hours later, when the sun was about to set, the temperature here seemed to be dropping rapidly.

The sunset seems to be taking away all the light and heat of this land!

But I don't know why, when the darkness gradually began to fall, and a cold chill gradually enveloped the land, Shen Shi felt that this desert suddenly began to have life.

In a secluded corner near and far, some light but strange sounds began to slowly come out, like the chirping of insects and like the sound of the wind blowing through the holes, occasionally a little poignant, like the cry of an ancient spirit, but it was soon obliterated by a deeper but louder sound.

Shen Shi Huoran raised his head and looked up.

At that moment, the last rays of light on the horizon of the setting sun also disappeared, and the night in this desert finally fell.

All the tall and strange-shaped stone pillars sounded at the same time, dense and low and far-reaching, at first only a few stone pillars nearby, and gradually all the stone pillars moved, connecting one piece, forming a wave like a roar.

The night was bleak.

A moment later, Shen Shi suddenly saw that on the stone pillar closest to him, the large and hard yellow clay stone face in the upper half suddenly recessed from somewhere, and a small hole appeared.

Then, from the mouth of the cave, a palm-sized black worm slowly crawled out, all black, except for a pair of wings that turned out to be a silver-white shining color.

The insect slowly spun around in place for a few moments, as if to observe its surroundings, and after a while, it suddenly looked up, and a high-pitched and strange chirp instantly swept through the night, and almost at the same time, countless similar screams rose at the same time, surging like a tide.

The insect flapped its wings, and the silver-white light instantly covered its black body, and flew straight into the night sky and turned into a point of light, but this was only the beginning, just when Shen Shi was stunned, suddenly, in this originally dark night sky, there was a sudden thunder roar, the heavens and the earth roared, only in an instant, countless points of light lit up together in the night sky, shining brightly, turning into a brilliant and indescribably brilliant white huge light curtain, covering the entire night sky, spectacular.

Shen Shi stood under this ruin, looking up at this rare scene, stunned and speechless.
