In the Blade

Just an ordinary earthquake could not shake Du Chengfeng's actions, and the long wall-building work was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Because the monkeys were not reliable at first, he had to build the wall by himself most of the time. In order to prevent the wall from being damaged during the construction process, the coyote was responsible for operating the bed crossbow to guard at a distance on the wall - and when he was tired, or simply wanted to take a break, he let the coyote carry the stones, and he was responsible for controlling the bed crossbow to guard.

This can ensure the safety of the construction, and at the same time ensure the intensity of their physical training.

As for when he is not building the wall, Du Chengfeng will do some of his own hobbies, such as making delicious food, or drawing blueprints - this is a new hobby he found when he was bored, to design some weapons and armor.

As for the reason, of course, it is because conventional weapons and armor are not very useful for animals.

For example, wolves cannot grasp things with their claws like monkeys, so they naturally cannot hold swords. They must bite the swords with their mouths, which will bring great burden to the cervical spine. In this case, if you want to equip the wolf with suitable weapons, you have to design them according to the wolf's body structure, such as adding blades to the claws, or simply making horns on the forehead.

Or the monkeys can't wear heavy armor, which will make the monkeys' original agility slow down. The monkeys that could jump up the tree can't even stand on the treetops after wearing copper armor. At this time, you have to consider the weight reduction of the armor. You need to use more hard skin to replace the heavy copper plate. Of course, in addition to defense, heat dissipation is also indispensable, otherwise the monkeys will suffocate to death before the fight starts after putting on the armor.

"It's all about learning."

Encountering new problems every day makes Du Chengfeng's life extremely fulfilling.

But he is fulfilled, but the coyote seems a little anxious.

"How long are you going to stay here?"

Half a year later, the coyote who finally couldn't help it finally found Du Chengfeng.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

"Indeed, I am in a hurry."

Du Chengfeng quickly pushed the coyote away.

"Please move aside. I didn't taste the food properly just now. The big one is coming."

"You..."

The coyote was speechless for a long time.

He still wanted to squat at this time. He didn't look anxious at all.

It took Du Chengfeng half an hour to come out of the toilet, which made the coyote even more unbearable. Yes, for the sake of hygiene, Du Chengfeng had nothing to do and specially built a toilet. He even forced the monkeys to learn to relieve themselves in the toilet as the monkey king.

Under the power of the stick, the monkeys who had been beaten enough quickly learned to pay attention to hygiene.

"Next time, we will let these monkeys get used to moving bricks or shooting crossbows."

After realizing that these monkeys could really learn to go to the toilet, Du Chengfeng felt that these monkeys still had great potential.

However, compared to going to the toilet, moving bricks and shooting bed crossbows are obviously too complicated for monkeys. He has been teaching for half a year, but no monkey can adapt to these two things.

"So, are you really not in a hurry?"

Coyote found Du Chengfeng again.

"It's been half a year, we have been here for half a year, do you really want to be a monkey here forever?"

"You mean, a way to get out?"

Du Chengfeng scratched his head.

"Do you have it?"

"I..."

Coyote choked on the spot.

How could he have it. If he really had a way to get out, why would he have to shut himself up here.

However, even if he didn't have a way to get out, the way to win this cave was in front of him. As long as they could eliminate all competitors and become the final winner, then this cave would be theirs, they would inherit the old man's legacy, and get everything here. At that time...

"By that time, can we get out?"

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head.

"Well, it's normal to think so... So aren't we working on it? At most, the speed is a little slow."

"Is it a little slow?"

The coyote's expression was a little subtle.

More than a little slow, their speed can be called a turtle's pace. After a month, the stone wall may not be able to move forward even one foot - at this speed, when will they be able to eliminate all competitors and control the cave itself?

Moreover, they have to face various natural disasters.

Perhaps because their actions are too contemptuous of the rules of the cave, natural disasters have become more and more frequent in recent times - at the beginning, there was only an occasional earthquake, but after two or three months, strong winds and wildfires have begun to appear frequently, and in recent times, they have been given a heavy rainstorm from time to time, making it impossible for their project to move forward.

"I can now confirm that the old man is probably not dead."

The coyote's expression became serious.

"He is using his methods to influence us, forcing us to follow his rules. Survival of the fittest. Don't forget, survival of the fittest."

"Of course I haven't forgotten, survival of the fittest."

As he said this, Du Chengfeng raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"If that old Deng doesn't know how to adapt to us, he doesn't deserve to survive. Even if he is alive, I will beat him to death."

“…”

Coyote was speechless for a long time.

So what are they here for? Didn’t they come here to inherit the old man’s cave and knowledge?

How did it suddenly become that they were going to go to war with the old man?

“Take your time, don’t rush.”

Du Chengfeng looked indifferent.

“It’s normal to have resistance when doing things, or in other words, the more the enemy opposes, the more it shows that I’m doing the right thing.”

Saying this, Du Chengfeng simply raised his hand and drew a circle around.

“Since Lao Deng wants to trap us here and force us to follow his rules, I really won’t leave!”

“Then you won’t go out?”

Coyote was already a little impatient.

“How long do you plan to stay here? Don’t you want to go out? You are outside…”

“Since you are here, make the best of it.”

Du Chengfeng even started to speak in classical Chinese.

"As for the outside world, you also said that the world is full of karma. Now that I am here, I have finished my worldly ties and can do what I want to do."

After saying this, Du Chengfeng simply continued to cook. He was a little empty-headed after just ejaculating, and he just needed a good meal.

Du Chengfeng, who yearns for a peaceful life, has always been very good at living. He also knows how to turn an unpeaceful environment into a peaceful one.

As for the coyote... this former Greedy Wolf Star Lord has now fallen into deep self-doubt. He has no place to vent his anger and passion without even encountering a battle. As for the law of the jungle, although he still maintains this idea, no matter how much he thinks about it, this idea has no place to use.

At this moment, he has no chance to hunt the weak. Their meat reserves are already extremely rich. The excess meat has been salted and even filled up several warehouses.

Of course, the warehouse was also built by Du Chengfeng. Obviously, Du Chengfeng is really going to live here for a long time.

"It doesn't matter where you live?"

Du Chengfeng thought so.

With food and drink, a stable job, and even enough things to study and learn, time began to fly fast - although there were occasional natural disasters, this became a pleasure for Du Chengfeng. How to minimize losses under the ravages of natural disasters has even become a subject worth studying, and with enough opportunities to try, Du Chengfeng never tires of it.

"Good things, all good things."

During another earthquake, Du Chengfeng felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw the warehouses and city walls that had almost no damage due to the installation of earthquake-resistant structures.

It was on this day that Du Chengfeng spent his first 100th birthday in the Stone City.

Although Du Chengfeng did not deliberately count, the coyote always remembered the days, and after calculating the time, Du Chengfeng found that he was actually 100 years old - but this 100 years was a little subtle no matter how you looked at it, just because he had been a monkey inside for much longer than he had been a human outside.

But this was nothing to Du Chengfeng. He could peek into the memory of weapons by sharpening them before, and most of those weapons had been around for a long time, so his perception of time had long been confused. Now, after his 100th birthday, he didn't even feel how old he was, but felt that he was still very young.

"It's only a hundred years old, not even half of the Southern Chen Taizu, is this considered old?"

Thinking like this, Du Chengfeng continued to work.

However, in the process, he began to pay attention to health preservation. After all, no matter how unwilling he was to accept old age, his physical weakness was still there. An old bone couldn't withstand any tossing. He didn't want to say that he had gone through all the storms, but ended up knocking his head to death when he went down the stairs.

And in the process of keeping healthy while working, his age gradually reached 500 years old.

At this time, he was no longer younger than the Southern Chen Taizu. Even if the Southern Chen Taizu was resurrected again, he could pat his chest and ask the other party to call him "big brother" - at this time, he had gradually begun to be unable to move normally, and as for working, he had long been out of luck.

However, five hundred years were enough for those monkeys and wolves to adapt to his ideas.

The armed monkeys replaced him and became the new brick movers on the construction site. Although these armed monkeys were much worse than him in terms of efficiency, they were better in number - after five hundred years of reproduction, the number of monkeys had already approached 100,000, and with sufficient nutrition and meat, the physique of these monkeys had become taller and even comparable to gorillas.

However, the increase in the number of monkeys also increased the consumption of food, and even at one time the newly built warehouse was empty.

So in the fifth century, which was also on his birthday, considering that the supplies in this cave were not unlimited after all, Du Chengfeng finally stood up tremblingly and issued an order after a long absence.

"You can eat them, but don't kill them all... Raise them if you can, and kill them for meat when they reproduce."

This order naturally caused fierce opposition from the coyotes, but facing the equally old coyotes, Du Chengfeng shook his head.

"I know what you want to say. You think that if we kill them, we will be the final winners... But that was in the past. Now, it is no longer necessary."

It was indeed unnecessary, because they didn't even need to take action at this moment. They only needed to let the armed monkeys ride the armored wolves out for a few turns, and the other animals would be exterminated as a genus.

But Du Chengfeng no longer had the intention to kill them. Such a victory, even if he took it, would be meaningless.

"There is no need to swing the knife at the weak who have no ability to resist. We are facing a stronger opponent."

Du Chengfeng raised his finger to the sky.

After that, time gradually came to the first millennium.

The Stone City at this time was no longer the look of the sentry tower in the past. The thick city walls had already spread all the way out - according to the intelligence sent by these armed monkeys, they even found the border of the world and were preparing to build the city wall fortress all the way there.

"As long as the supply line is stable, our army can be dispatched."

Under the throne filled with special pipelines, there was a monkey wearing heavy armor and as strong as a silverback gorilla, humbly bowed his head.

"When we reach the end of the world, we will definitely find you the elixir of immortality! By then, you will definitely be able to come down again..."

"It doesn't matter."

On the throne, Du Chengfeng, who was already as thin as a skeleton, shook his head gently.

"You are my hands, you are my eyes, and what you can see, I can also see... The weight of life is not about the length, but the process. It's already very good that you can do this."

"We, we..."

The giant monkey, who was as strong as a silverback gorilla, almost cried on the spot at this moment.

He actually, he was lucky enough to receive the affirmation of the Emperor of God. The Emperor of God affirmed everything they did, which was simply...

"But it's not enough."

At this time, the giant monkey suddenly saw that the finger on the throne was raised.

"You now only have breadth, and you still lack height."

As he said this, the dry finger like a skeleton pointed upwards.

The finger pointed to the dome above, pointed outside the dome, pointed to the sky high above!

"Now we can start to go higher. Go ahead and explore. Go see the scenery in the sky, see what's up there, and see what it really looks like."

"I obey your command!"

The giant monkey beat his chest fiercely.
