Chapter 180 Inhuman monster
According to the expectations of the Chu people, it was almost impossible for this immortal body to have its own consciousness.

As for why there is such a clear judgment, there is no other reason, just because there are too many stitches - if the other children have monster flesh and blood sewn on their bodies, then the only successful fairy body, after experiencing the above After a hundred stitches, it can only be said that a person has been sewn into the flesh of the monster.

To be more precise, a part of a person is sewn on.

Due to the need to sew the flesh and blood of various monsters into it and to maintain a normal human form, the Chu people could only continue to reduce the original human flesh and blood on the immortal body. At the beginning, there was no problem, but they just replaced more. When some flesh and blood was put in, nothing was wrong. However, as time went by, the flesh and blood belonging to monsters became more and more seamed, and the flesh and blood belonging to humans also became less and less.

The good news is that no matter how many stitches are stitched in, there is no rejection reaction. This fairy body has shown amazing adaptability. No matter how many stitches are inserted, it will not turn into a monster.

As for the bad news...

Too much sewing.

When the man with a sinister face realized that something was wrong, at least [-]% of the immortal body had been replaced with monster flesh. After that, in order to test the limits of the immortal body, he simply sewed more Some of it went in - the limit was indeed tested. The human flesh and blood on this immortal body was less than half, but it still maintained a human posture and even maintained stable vital signs.

In the end, these Chu people still broke the final taboo.

If all the flesh and bones on the body are replaced by monster flesh and blood, even if the body itself still maintains a human posture, can it really still be considered a human?
The remnants of the Chu people didn't know. They only knew that they had finally made the most perfect immortal body. If there was any flaw, it was that the thinking of this immortal body was still a blank sheet of paper.

This is not a good thing. An immortal body with an empty body but no thoughts cannot be used to fight. But for the consciousness transfer that the Chu people are about to do, this empty mind is not a bad thing.

As long as a suitable user can be found, this immortal body will surely shine on the battlefield.

As long as a suitable user can be found.

The right people cannot afford the risks, and the people who can bear the risks are not suitable. Therefore, the plans of these survivors of the old Chu were stalled for a time.

However, at this time, the so-called immortal body, that is, this nameless child, started to move on its own.

"how is this possible?"

The man with a gloomy face showed a look of surprise for the first time.

"how did you do that?"

The remnants of the Chu people were quite puzzled by this, and they were confused for a time.

Only Du Chengfeng, who was watching from the sidelines, knew what exactly happened.

He could feel the state of the weapon and even the emotion of the weapon, so he knew more clearly that these crazy Chu people had indeed done something extraordinary - after removing the last piece of human flesh and blood, this body It was indeed in a state of near collapse. If I had to describe it, it was like a crumbling building that had its most important load-bearing pillar removed.

Without human consciousness to integrate everything in this body, can this body really survive?

can.

really can.

Indeed, the consciousness of this body has lost its unity and has collapsed into ruins, but the collapsed ruins are much more stable than the crumbling building before.

As the saying goes, we are already at the bottom, and no matter how we go, we will always go up.

Life will always find its way.

It is the consciousness born from flesh and blood itself, and it is the purest survival instinct. All this new creature wants is to live, nothing more.

It was at this time that it tasted sweet.

The Chu people made some sugar water for it to drink, and treated it like a real child - after all, it looked like a child now, with those ignorant eyes, anyone who saw it would say that he was a good child.

But it's not a child after all.

It was a human-shaped weapon made by the survivors of the Chu people.

How to transfer consciousness so that the Chu people can actually use this immortal human body is still being attempted. After all, no matter from any angle, this is a more troublesome project than making a humanoid weapon. Even if these Chu people The remnants of the people have tried their best, but they still have no clue about this matter.

However, Yu Ren would not give them that long time.

More and more Chu people were being hunted and killed. Dayu was truly exterminating the Chu people. As the population gradually declined, the Chu people had fewer and fewer resources to use.

The remaining Chu people no longer have the time or resources to conduct any further research on consciousness transfer.

Until one day, this last stronghold of the Chu people was also attacked by the Yu people.

Facing the pursuit and interception of the masters of the Yu Dynasty, these remnants of the old Chu were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back. It was not that they had not tried their best, but there were too many masters on the opposite side.

They can only move as quickly as possible. As long as people can escape, there is still hope for everything.

But some people didn't escape.

Although the person who did not escape was not necessarily a human being, in the panic, the young immortal body was not taken away immediately - and after some killings, there was only one person in this huge bunker. The toddler was the only one left alive.

But even when facing young children, those Yu soldiers still raised their weapons.

All Chu people's remnants must die. No remnant of the previous dynasty is innocent. The order they received is to kill without mercy, even if the other party is just a child.

Under the pressure of death, the inhuman child suddenly moved.

It was at this time that the Yu soldiers realized that this was probably no ordinary Chu child.

Just by meeting each other, five Yu soldiers fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, more soldiers were torn into pieces. For ordinary people, the evil spirit was extremely dangerous, but this child could easily control it, killing it. It is as easy as eating and drinking.

And when the Chu people gritted their teeth and returned, preparing to take away this most important research product, all they saw were corpses scattered on the ground, and the child sitting in a pool of blood.

This was the first time that the Chu people's remnants knew the true power of the Immortal Human Body. Their previous imaginations were still too conservative.

After all, the Chu people took it away and gave it candy as a reward. After that, these Chu people began to train it, teaching it the skills of charging into battle, and building it into a Became a real killing machine.

And in the process, the child he once was quickly grew into a teenager.

This process was extremely fast, taking less than a year. This was not the growth rate of human beings at all, but more like those monsters swallowed by evil spirits.

"It will become the pioneer general of the Chu people and the sharpest spear of the Chu people!"

At that moment, these Chu people finally saw the dawn of restoration.

As for itself, no one cared what it thought.

It is a tool that was born. Its purpose is to fight the Yu Dynasty and restore the glory of the old Chu. The tool does not need to have its own ideas, it only needs to carry out the user's orders.

But does it really not have a mind of its own?

"Have."

Du Chengfeng, who was watching from the sidelines, could clearly feel this.

Indeed, it is a human-shaped weapon made by the remnants of the Chu people, but it is not real steel after all. It will be tired from training, and will be distressed because it cannot complete the exam. If it can eat sweets, it will be happy. This is also one of the few joys in its life.

As for the remnants of the Chu people, they became its family. After all, it had never seen anyone else.

But the Chu people never thought about this. They really regarded it as a sharp weapon.

The remnants of the Chu people sent it out to kill the officials of the Yu Dynasty. Its best disguise was its bare hands. People felt that a person who didn't even have a weapon couldn't make any waves.

Until it burst out with evil spirit.

On that day, under the orders of the Chu people's survivors, the governor's mansion in Liangzhou in the northwest was razed to the ground.

This is an easy thing for it, as simple as eating and drinking.

But just as it was about to leave, someone knelt in front of it.

Those are the people of Liangzhou, and they are grateful for what it has done.

It turns out that the Yu Dynasty is not monolithic, and there are not no fights among the scholars who manipulate people's hearts - but the fight is a fight, but they are unwilling to end it personally. They are not those reckless Chu people, they are better at it. Use other people as vehicles and tools.

It is precisely because of this idea that they exploit the people. In the fish and meat village, they regard the people as milk-producing cattle and sheep.

"They want to kill you, why don't you do it?"

Facing the cries of the common people, it was quite puzzled. In its opinion, these people had hands and feet, so why didn't they fight them back themselves?

So, after noticing its doubts, people told it the story of the big tree.

The people in the story are obviously the officials of Dayu, but these useful common people have had their branches pruned and turned into useful big trees - facing the people holding swords and axes, they are used as tools. What can a big tree do?

There is nothing they can do, they can only sit and wait.

Until it appears.

People kept it and treated it warmly, just because it did what they couldn't do, and even overturned the governor's mansion that was pressing on them.

It was meant to leave, but people sent snacks.

That was the first time it tasted sweetness other than sugar.

It was softer and smoother, which made it eat a few more pieces. It was because of its greed at this moment that it already hesitated.

It was at that time that a few tall, muscular men squeezed their way out of the crowd.

"You are the stuff of great things! We are following you!"

and?
It doesn't quite understand what this heel means. Those Chu people have never taught it this, and it itself has never learned it.

But soon it understood that this was probably a literal meaning. Wherever it went, these people would follow it. Even if it returned to the Chu bunker hidden in the mountains, these people would follow it. Behind him, unwavering.

Of course, when outsiders came to the bunker, the Chu people felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. However, after knowing the whole story, these Chu people became happy.

"Have you actually learned how to bring the materials back by yourself?"

The man with the sinister face laughed.

"Just in time, I have something to try here. You go over there and get a knife and kill them all. I want to see the difference between you using a sword and using your bare hands."

This time, however, it did not move.

Chu Ren's order was absolute, it was just a tool, but at this moment, faced with the order to kill, it had the idea of ​​not wanting to kill.

"I……"

It organizes language clumsily.

"They can live."

"……Um?"

The man with a sinister face frowned. "what are you saying?"

Not only him, but more Chu people gathered around, and the tool showed a tendency to disobey the owner. This is an extremely dangerous sign and is absolutely not allowed. Obviously, the safest way at the moment is to use this tool. Dangerous tools destroyed.

It was this trace of murderous intent that was keenly sensed by it.

Aren't the Chu people its family members?Why did the family want to kill it?

It couldn't understand, and even the brain stopped thinking for a while.

But under the threat of death, its body took action one step ahead of its thinking.

Stimulated by murderous intent, its survival instinct chose to strike first.

That day, the remaining Chu people suffered huge losses. Even though they had fled with the royal family as quickly as possible, half of them still died in the killing.

And it was completely confused.

As a tool and a weapon, the purpose of its birth was to restore the glory of Da Chu. But on this day, it personally interrupted the hope of Da Chu's revival.

Having lost its direction, where should it go?

"As expected! You are born to do great things!"

The young men he brought over from Liangzhou were extremely happy, especially after seeing its invincible heroic appearance.

"Even those Chu people can't defeat you. You were born to be the emperor!"

emperor?What is that?
It is not very clear, and Chu people have not taught it this.

All it knew was that it was not a good place to stay for a long time in a place littered with corpses.

After packing some luggage, it left the place where it was raised. Losing its command, it wandered around aimlessly - of course, he could also kill people. After all, the Dayu court already knew about that time in Liangzhou. He discovered the existence of this secret weapon of the Chu people, and strictly ordered the governors' offices from all over the country to investigate it, and at the same time sent out experts to nip this danger in the bud.

But this was still meaningless. The oncoming dangers only made him stronger and stronger.

Even those scholars who manipulate people's hearts can't do anything against it. It has achieved true invincibility without any worries.

As he walked along, more and more governor's mansions were razed to the ground by him, and in the process, more and more people gathered around him, from the first few to dozens, Then hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands... And in the process, it gradually learned more and more things, and even became more and more like a real person.

It has its own joys and sorrows, as well as its own interests and hobbies. Although it cannot have parents and relatives like ordinary people, it has a group of friends from all over the world - although these friends always use "Your Majesty" to refer to it. That's what it calls it, and it doesn't change no matter how many times it says it, but it still considers these people its friends.

"I should be fighting for them."

The weapon that had lost its direction gradually had its own ideas.

Driven by this idea, he fought more and more bravely. He charged into the battle, raised the beacon smoke all over the place, destroyed the decayed Yu, routed the army of the prairie people, and even the remnants of the Chu people were defeated by him. Kill them all.

He successfully fulfilled everyone's expectations and established this huge world.

"As long as you do all this, you'll be fine, right?"

It once thought so.

However, the good times did not last long.

After all the foreign enemies were suppressed, its friends actually began to fight with each other. In its name, they attacked and killed each other. For fame, wealth, and power, they killed each other, and even once targeted it.

"Are you really human?"

Those who it once regarded as its partners and friends drew their weapons against it.

It knew the reason. In order to target it as a traitor, the remaining Chu people spread rumors about its inhuman identity. However, it never expected that just for the sake of an illusory immortality, these former friends would actually Get to this point.

In a trance, it felt that it had become the big tree in the story, and these friends who were used as timber by the Yu people in the past have now picked up axes and become tree-cutting people like those Yu people. people.

"You want the magic of immortality? Then come and kill me."

It's not a big tree.

On that day, the friends who had walked side by side with it in the past were buried together with it in the imperial mausoleum.

Of course, it is still not dead. After burying those old friends, it locked itself in the imperial mausoleum, leaving only a so-called bloodline outside, just like those who can have children. It's the same as humans - but it won't give this so-called throne to others for free. If you want to get benefits from it, you must pay a corresponding price.

Sadness is greater than the death of a heart, it will not do anything for other people.

On weekdays, it lives in this imperial mausoleum. Unable to die normally, it can only wait quietly for the passage of time.Occasionally, someone will bring some surprises and fun to it, but after seeing too much of this kind of thing, it will just be like that.The only thing that can make it happy may be sweets. Whenever it eats those desserts, it can recall the simple happiness it once had.

And in the passage of time, Du Chengfeng, who was a bystander, was once infected by this consciousness. He could be regarded as personally experiencing its long life, which was far beyond his own life memory. This was even He couldn't tell whether he was himself or it.

Until he saw his big face.

For this young man named Du Chengfeng, it was a little surprised. After all, the other party's ability to integrate different evil spirits was the same as it - and the most important thing was that, like it in the past, this person named Du Chengfeng's young man is about to turn his body into a weapon.

It doesn't really want to see this happen, just because it has experienced it. This so-called invincible road itself is a dead end.

If anyone could kill it, it hoped it would be a human being, not a monster like itself.

Yes, it had thought about dying for a long time. After completely losing its direction, it also completely lost the motivation to live - but it could not kill itself, just because the flesh and blood was not its own. When it wants to give up everything, its strong desire to survive will dominate everything it has.

So, it needs strong people.

No matter who it is, it needs a strong enough person. Only dying in a fight with all its strength is its final destination.

From beginning to end, it did not recognize the identity of this monster. It was a human being. It had worked very hard to be a human being. It looked more like a human being than anyone else. It had learned everything about human beings.

So even at the end of its life, it wants to die in battle in a human way.

This was its last vision. It was completely tired of this crazy world, and after seeing Du Chengfeng, it even thought that its wish could be realized.

However, the man named Du Chengfeng still chose to become a monster.

Indeed, as a person who has experienced it, it can understand the idea that turning into a monster can gain powerful power, and turning into a monster can have an immortal body - but this is what it doesn't want to see the most, and it doesn't want to see it anyway. The appearance of the second monster.

"Please, don't say it, don't say those words, just use human gestures to defeat me."

When he saw Du Chengfeng coming to the imperial mausoleum, his hands holding the snacks were trembling.

But what disappointed it was that the man named Du Chengfeng in front of him still said those words.

He wanted its blood just to be invulnerable.

"What's the difference between you and them?"

It inexplicably remembered the friends who had followed it in the past.

Does turning into a monster make you really powerful?

What a joke.

It itself is the strongest monster, how could it not know this?

"Since you all want something from me, then come and get it for yourselves."

So, it once again showed its monster-like appearance.

Since you want to challenge it, let's first fight these friends who followed it in the past.

If he couldn't defeat these illusions caused by longing, then it wouldn't be worth his while.

"……phantom?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but be startled when he saw this.

Those powerful shadow generals are just illusions caused by longing?

It was difficult for Du Chengfeng to accept this fact, after all, these illusions were so real.

The two shadow spears had pierced his ribs, the shadow sword had slit his throat, and the two-handed war hammer had used the momentum of the horse to hit his chest. On the head.

This wasn't just dizziness anymore, he even felt like something was breaking, which made his vision go dark.

This is the consequence of being distracted during a battle. Even if it is just for a moment, it is enough to make people die on the spot and never die again.

However, at this moment of his death, there was a warm fire surrounding him.

"You can't die. You can't die here."

A familiar voice appeared in his ears, but he couldn't tell who it was for a moment.

"You can't die, you are still young."

The voice this time was somewhat familiar to Du Chengfeng. It was Old Ruan from Ziyang Academy, but it sounded like he was young.

"You can't die here... If you die, who will carry out my hegemony?"

Something cold and hard penetrated into Du Chengfeng's body, replacing the missing bones.

"Yeah, how could I die here?"

After shaking his stiff neck and both heads, Du Chengfeng opened his eyes again.

Then he lowered his head and hit it, and stabbed the sword on the chest and abdomen of the sword-wielding shadow general in front of him.

"monster……"

On the throne, a huge giant more than ten meters high stared with anger.

"Have you given up your identity as a human?"

"Hey, you are such a person, why do you still open your mouth and curse?"

With a flick of his head, the sword-sharp Ge Blade completely opened the shadow general in front of him. Then Du Chengfeng turned his two heads and looked in the direction of the huge giant with four eyes at the same time.

"I am a human being, can't you see?"

　I finally finished it, [-] words, and I felt dizzy after writing it.

　　Another: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your encouragement and support.

　　I'm going to catch my breath, eat something, and see if I can continue outputting.
