Chapter 179 Humanoid Weapon
There is a world of difference between people and weapons.

Compared with weapons made of gold and iron, flesh and blood are too fragile. They don’t even use gold or iron, just sharp wood. As long as they are stronger, they can easily pierce flesh and blood. This is why people need to use weapons. We use blades to fight, on the one hand, the weapons are more useful than the human body, and on the other hand, because compared to the fragile human body, the collision loss of the weapons is always more acceptable.

But weapons like weapons are not without their shortcomings.

"Three more of our men were captured."

Outside the prison, a muscular man with a round waist was frowning.

"The daggers they were carrying were found when they were being transferred, and those dog breeds asked people to take them down... These wild dogs are so vicious!"

"If you are caught by a wild dog, you will die. Even if you don't die, you will become a traitor in order to survive."

In front of the majestic man, a man with a sinister face shook his head repeatedly.

"Don't underestimate our enemies, they know exactly how to target us... So are you still against me doing that now?"

"You... forget it, that's fine."

Saying this, the two men turned their heads at the same time and looked into the cage.

Facing the gazes of the two men, Du Chengfeng felt cold all over. Those eyes were not looking at humans, but more like looking at an object.

Or rather, some kind of consumable.

The conversation between the two men did not mean to avoid him. It was obvious that in the eyes of these two men, the body he felt at the moment, as well as the other children in the cage, were just objects like tables, chairs and benches. No one would doubt whether an oil lamp could eavesdrop, not to mention that all the children, including him, were indeed like objects, just lying there, unable to even say a word.

However, it is precisely because of this that Du Chengfeng heard more ulterior news from this perspective.

Those two men, as well as other people outside the prison, who lived here were all remnants of the old Chu. After the rise of the Yu Dynasty and the decline of the old Chu, the scholars of Dayu began a thorough investigation of the remnants of the previous dynasty. Chase and kill them, never give them the slightest chance - as for the method of chasing and killing, this is not difficult, as long as you target the source of the Chu people's power.

So, after those scholars reached a consensus, this emerging Yu began to ban swords.

Except for the officials of the imperial court, civilians are not allowed to hide weapons privately. If there is any violation, the remnants of the previous court will be punished.

Although on a large scale, this ban has attracted a lot of criticism, at least in terms of results, this ban has accurately hit the Achilles heel of the survivors of the old Chu - they cannot carry fierce weapons, and their strength is There is a high probability that they will go there, but it is impossible for them to actually take action with troops, just because what those scholars want is to force out these remnants of the old Chu who are hiding among the people.

Either fight to the death, and then be completely destroyed under the encirclement and suppression of a group of masters, or give up the weapon, give up your own strength and persistence, lose that otherworldly ability, and completely obliterate everyone.

This is the path that the Yu Dynasty left for the Chu people. No matter which path they choose, it means the complete destruction of the old Chu.

However, the scholars of the Yu Dynasty still missed one point.

The unwilling remnants of the old Chu took a third path that went beyond common sense itself.

The children in this cage now are an attempt at this path. The survivors of the old Chu who had no way to go finally turned their attention to what those ancestors had never done - that is, tempering the body with evil spirit. By himself, he transformed flesh and blood into weapons, completely breaking through the limits of flesh and blood, thereby realizing the secret method of ascending to heaven and ascending to immortality.

"After all, our predecessors have done it. The Overlord Halberd they created can even be hidden in the body of the host. This is enough to prove that whether it is the weapon, the human body, or even the evil spirit itself, there are too many things that we have not touched. field."

The man with a gloomy face once said his lofty ideals in front of the cage. Likewise, these words did not mean to avoid the children in the cage.

Because it is not necessary.

The children in the cage are as silent as death, including the perspective that Du Chengfeng is experiencing right now, that is Nanchen Taizu himself - of course, this child may not be called Nanchen Taizu at the moment, he has no name, and he doesn't even have a number. No.

Just because there are too few children in cages.

The number of people was too small, and getting smaller and smaller. After all, evil spirits are extremely dangerous for adults, not to mention young children. But soon, Du Chengfeng knew that these children might not only be It looks so simple on the surface.

They're not even human beings.

It didn't mean the treatment, but that they couldn't be counted as human beings in the literal sense. It wasn't until Du Chengfeng watched the Nanchen Taizu being carried into the execution room that he realized how heartbreaking things these Chu people had done.

As we all know, when people go crazy under the guidance of evil spirits, they will most likely turn into inhuman and ferocious monsters. However, it is these ferocious monsters who only know how to kill, but they can be nourished by evil spirits without any burden. Growing all the way - and Chu people, who have made the most use of evil spirits, naturally discovered this.

So after countless failed attempts, the crazy Chu people turned their attention to these monsters.

Since it is difficult for the human body to directly bear the crazy evil, what about the monster's body?

Under the guidance of this idea, the crazy Chu people sewed the children in the cage.

Yes, sewing. In fact, each of these children with human appearance has some flesh and blood from monsters sewn on their bodies. After the sewing is completed, the Chu people will try to activate it using secret methods, so that These stitched children really put their crazy flesh and blood to use.

“A strong will can change everything.”

These Chu survivors firmly believe in this, after all, this is their last hope.

But a firm will cannot completely change everything, especially this kind of overly deviant attempt. The children in the cage who were sewn with monster flesh and blood either fell to the ground like corpses, or turned into twisted and crazy monsters. ——However, it was the appearance of these monsters that made Chu people more and more confident.

"At least a few can survive."

After killing the twisted monsters the children had turned into, the survivors of the old Chu continued to sew the flesh and blood of these monsters onto the new children.

After all, the environment is harsh, and they, the remnants of the old Chu who are hiding in the dark, have access to less and less materials. Now they can use the waste if they can, and they can't waste it no matter what.

Even from the perspective of a bystander, Du Chengfeng couldn't stand it. The behavior of these remnants of the old Chu was too crazy and even beyond the scope of human understanding.

No wonder those scholars of the Yu Dynasty wanted to drive out these remnants of the old Chu. These remnants of the old Chu were so crazy. Their methods and actions were simply outrageous. Even Du Chengfeng, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but want to kill people. .

Then his hands really moved.

The ultimate madness brought knowledge beyond the reach of ordinary people. Those remnants of the old Chu actually made activated bodies that could move normally - and the only child who could still maintain a human posture after being transplanted with monster flesh and blood, It was Taizu Nanchen himself.This was the first time Chu people succeeded.

Of course, if it was just an example, the Chu people would not be sure, so they used the same technique to transplant the monster's flesh and blood to more people - but those adult warriors who were far more powerful than children all failed the operation. , without exception, either turned into a madman who lost his mind on the spot, or turned into one of those inhuman monsters.

In order to deal with these monsters, the Chu people spent a lot of money, which made them even more exhausted.

The flesh and blood of these monsters were also transplanted into this only activated body.

To the Chu people's surprise, this only activated body showed extremely high adaptability when faced with monster flesh and blood.No matter how much monster flesh and blood is transplanted, this activated body can easily absorb and accommodate it, and then turn it into a part of the body.

"Could it be that we made a mistake?"

The deviation in the experimental results once confused the Chu people. They were not very clear about what variables caused this situation.

Faced with this question, the Chu people chose to look through the notes of their predecessors.

Those are records that only the old Chu royal family is qualified to keep, just because the things recorded in them are too crazy. They are all the experimental records of the former Chu Dynasty in order to study evil spirits. They are left over from the former Chu Empire, and are filled with blood. The crystallization of wisdom.

After looking through the notes left by their predecessors, the survivors of the old Chu felt that they had found the key.

"Consciousness! Consciousness is the key to everything!"

That day, Du Chengfeng saw the man with a sinister face looking crazy.

Originally, the Chu people's plan was to use children as hosts for the monster's flesh and blood, simply because even if the larvae turned into monsters, their destructive power would be within control. However, due to some strange combination of circumstances, they crashed into A certain key - compared with the complex thoughts of adults, children's thinking is simple and direct, and the younger the child, the more blank a piece of paper his thinking is.

But it is this blank sheet of thinking that unites the evil spirits of those weapons.

This is something that adults cannot do. Adults have all kinds of desires, ideas, and wants. But it is precisely because of the existence of these ideas that it is easier for them to Lose yourself in the face of evil spirits, or power.

However, children don't.

Children do not know how to use evil spirits, or even what evil spirits are.

This prevents evil spirits from infecting them.

"Ah this..."

After coming to the conclusion, the Chu people were confused.

Theoretically, they succeeded, but in practice, this success was meaningless - indeed, under this crazy research, they really did the impossible and really built something that could A body that perfectly carries evil spirits, but the question is, how can they use this research result to fight against the rising danger?

It seems that they can't do it. They can only make a piece of fine steel by holding on to death, but can they smash it with this piece of fine steel and directly kill the enemy?
Obviously not.

The revitalized body was indeed successful, but the child could not be taken out to fight Dayu. This made the Chu people dejected for a time - but after spending so much experimental results, it was impossible to just throw them in the dungeon in vain. That was an even greater loss for the Chu people who were already unable to make ends meet.

"So, let's cultivate him into a weapon."

After much thought, the man with a gloomy face finally made a decision.

This was naturally opposed by the Chu people's remnants. After all, this kind of thing was not only deviant, but also a betrayal of the Chu people's culture - you must know that the Chu people have always picked up their own weapons to fight the enemy. Bearing blood, trauma, and even the lives of enemies to grow, and the current use of people as weapons... What is the difference between those Yu scholars who manipulate people's hearts?
"Otherwise? Are we going to let our hard work go to waste?"

Facing the accusations from everyone, the man with a sinister face roared loudly.

"How much hard work we have put in to cultivate such a real immortal body, do we want our hard work to be in vain? Do you know how many people died and how much blood was shed in this process? Do you want to let theirs Blood shed in vain?”

Of course, this man with a sinister face didn't just roar, he also gave corresponding solutions.

“A strong will can change everything.”

The man with a gloomy face mentioned that sentence again.

This is the core research result of the old Chu Empire, and it is also the most valuable experience left by the old Chu Empire - so, since a firm will can change everything, does it mean that the body itself is not that important?

"First cultivate this immortal human body to confirm its stability. When it is truly confirmed that there is no problem, you can transplant the consciousness into it."

This was the solution given by the man with a gloomy face.

Driven by consciousness, wielding this rare immortal body like a weapon does not violate the customs of the Chu people, but also makes use of this immortal body.

Then the problem lies here.

Who will perform this consciousness stripping?

Logically speaking, those who are qualified to use the Immortal Human Body must be the Chu royal family, but considering the danger, this is obviously not feasible - the sinister man also thought about doing it himself, but as the organizer of all this, he I need to host the entire experiment, so naturally I can’t attend.As for the others... this is using the immortal body, who has the qualifications to do so?

But it was during this difficult selection process that another accident happened.

This sewn fairy body actually has its own consciousness.
