Chapter 67: The War of the Apex Predators
When the two apex predators go to war in a complete way, which of the two of them will die first?
No one knows the answer, after all, the question is too vague, saying that they are two apex predators, but they don't know anything about their tonnage, strength, fighting methods, and even combat ideas. In such ignorance, how can you judge whether these two apex predators want to win or lose?
But no matter who wins or loses, one thing is certain.
That is, the other creatures around them will surely die.
"Hee-hee-"
"Kill, kill, kill—"
It was another round of desperate fighting, and this was the first time the two sides had fought each other, or fifty times, or a hundred, anyway, no one would remember this number, and even the warring sides would not care about it.
After all, there is no room for distraction in life and death.
"Zheng—"
The blades of thirteen bone scimitars staggered with six blood-stained short blades, and both sides were unscathed for a moment.
But after a fight, neither side had any intention of turning back and fighting again.
Instead, he seized the time and killed the steppe routs in front of him.
Thirteen bone scimitars swept by, and more than a dozen grassland routs who had just gathered together had been torn to pieces by flesh and blood monster birds, and Du Chengfeng's side was more like a tiger entering a flock, with short blades between his fingers like sharp claws, and more than twenty heads were cut off in just one kill.
Not enough, not enough.
If you want to kill each other, it's not enough to rely on this accumulation.
"The next time we meet, I will definitely eat you!"
"I guess I ate you."
After the strange bird took off, Du Chengfeng also turned around, and the two sides left separately.
As it always has been.
The flesh monster bird couldn't kill Du Chengfeng, who was full of evil energy, and Du Chengfeng couldn't reach the flesh monster bird that flew into the air, which directly caused both sides to start constantly foraging for food, constantly looking for any target that could be used to kill.
As long as you kill more, you can become stronger, and you can kill that mortal enemy.
They all think so.
But as their prey, those grassland routs of the Qingyang tribe are limited after all.
"If I knew it, I wouldn't have gotten out of the field......"
In a robber stronghold hidden in the mountains, Du Chengfeng, who had come back to rest, was sighing.
It's really a pity, after all, there aren't many living people in the entire Jizhou right now - Jizhen was already killed by the grassland armor soldiers when the city was broken by Su Xiqing, and the villages and towns below had already fled south at the beginning of the war...... This was driven away by Du Chengfeng himself.
It turns out that although the swordsman named Cui Yuan is more mentally ill, his execution ability is outstanding, and if he wants to clear the field, he really beat all the swordsmen and rangers away, and no one is left.
This also directly led to the fact that even if Du Chengfeng wanted to kill a few people in the name of martial arts now, he couldn't find an opponent.
"Brother Du, what's wrong?"
Carpenter Li, who came to deliver the meal, also heard Du Chengfeng's sigh and couldn't help but play a role in comfort.
"If you say, I mean that if it really doesn't work, you should run quickly, go to the south, go to Yanzhou, if it really doesn't work, go to Jiankang, go to Jingshi...... There's always going to be someone who can deal with that monster, there's always going to be ......."
"Thinking too much."
Du Chengfeng shook his head again and again.
It's not that he hasn't thought about escaping, but at the moment, the so-called Da Chen in the south is even the border army that has been stewed by that monster - as we all know, the border army guarding the border is often the most capable team. Even the border army can't stop that monster, and they can expect to be able to stop this thing further south?
What's more, this monster can become more and more brave and stronger the more it eats.
Now is the best chance, he and the monster are no longer able to kill anyone, in other words, the monster can't continue to grow, at least for the time being.
Now, it's about speed and familiarity with their surroundings.
Whoever makes the sword on his body overwhelm the opposite side first will be the final winner.
"I'll go out and have a look, I remember there are still a few robbers' dens......"
Saying this, Du Chengfeng took the meal and took a few bites hastily.
And Carpenter Li also saw the scales that were faintly exposed between Du Chengfeng's cuffs.
"Brother Du, ...... are you?"
Carpenter Li grabbed Du Chengfeng's wrist, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"You're in this hand...... Why do you have it on your arm? ”
"Ah, it doesn't matter."
Du Chengfeng pulled down his sleeves, but didn't care much.
"If you want to defeat monsters, it is natural to become monsters...... I don't know why it's like this, but it's okay, and it feels good. ”
As he spoke, Du Chengfeng gathered evil energy, which made his eyes as red as two ghost fires in the dim cave.
"How's that, it's handsome, isn't it?"
“……”
Carpenter Li didn't feel handsome at all, it was as terrifying as if he was facing some kind of big cat.
"Oh yes, this is for you."
No longer looking at those eyes, Carpenter Li took a well-sharpened grip from behind his back.
When he got the grip, Du Chengfeng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then he took out the broken axe from the saddle bag, knocked out the sawdust inside, and installed it on the handle.
Yes, the axe is so convenient, even if the axe handle is broken, you can use it again with a new axe handle.
But it's just a matter of using it.
It may be a good tool to chop wood, but Du Chengfeng can't feel the cold air from Mobei.
Just like those two knives.
"I'd better leave it here for you."
With a sigh, Du Chengfeng still handed the axe to Carpenter Li.
Then, he picked up the two knives from his side.
The work of repairing these two war knives was done by Du Chengfeng when he came back from the attack on the Qingyang Department. The Yang clan came up with tools and made a forging workshop in the robbers' den—relying on the half-barrel water forging technique from a grassland blacksmith, he could be regarded as taking the two broken blades back.
But I don't know if it's because the craftsmanship is too simple, or because his craftsmanship is too poor, the two long knives have obviously been connected to the blades, but there is still no movement.
Even if Du Chengfeng took them out to kill people, it would be the same.
Or even worse.
It was clear that it was stained with blood as before, but the two swords became more and more dull. If it weren't for the weight in his hand that reminded him that the two war knives had not changed much, Du Chengfeng would even think that he was carrying two shoddy iron pieces.
And when it slashed at those steppe routs, these two sharp blades that could easily cut off flesh and bone broke on the spot with a sonorous sound.
It's as if the two knives are dead.
Although Du Chengfeng also felt that it was a bit inappropriate to describe the knife as "dead", the feeling that these two knives brought him was indeed a lifeless appearance.
In the past, the thick knife always wanted to cut something, and also wanted cheap wine, and the long knife of the broken horse was always entangled in the names of those awkward moves, or let Du Chengfeng read the remaining lines of poetry - Du Chengfeng once felt that this was quite a troublesome thing, the knife is a knife, and it only needs to be cut over.
But now, when he had two swords in his hand, no one would trouble him anymore.
"I ...... Get out for a bit. ”
Putting down the two combat knives, Du Chengfeng stood up.
Fortunately, after getting used to the evil qi entering the body, it doesn't matter if he uses other blades, just like the seventeen short knives on his body, although they are all ordinary goods that have not killed many people, but when he uses them, a set of close-fitting short fights is also extremely sharp.
If anything, he's killed too much.
The abnormal changes in his body, even if he didn't need to be reminded by Carpenter Li, he himself had already seen it. Obviously, the overuse of evil energy into the body is not without a cost. A large amount of evil qi poured into his body, not only turning his spirit into a tight string, but even the body itself was developing more and more in the direction of inhuman.
"So, what is this so-called sword warrior aura?"
Du Chengfeng can't quite understand what this strange power is going on now.
This thing seems to be able to enhance combat power, can make people slash with huge sword light, can make the blade swing all kinds of weird abilities, and even distort the body itself - it sounds like a magical internal force that can do anything in the legend.
But compared to the so-called magical internal force, this strange power is more ferocious and bloody.
It can even make people inhuman.
At least why Su Xiqing became like that, he finally knew, after all, he was also changing in some unknown direction right now.
"At that time, will I be as crazy as Su Xiqing?"
Du Chengfeng frowned.
I don't know, he can't think of an answer to this question.
But for now, that's not something to think about.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-"
A piercing howl resounded through the sky, and thirteen huge bone scimitars cut a large hole in the mountain in an instant.
And Du Chengfeng and Carpenter Li, as well as the Yangjiabao villagers who were hiding here, were also exposed.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee! I've found out! ”
In midair, a monster named Su Xiqing flapped its wings.
"You've saved a lot of delicious food!"
"Lao Tzu ate you first."
His hands reached into his robes, and when he came out again, there were already six more sharp knives.
Holding the sharp knife between his fingers like sharp claws, Du Chengfeng lowered his body, revealing increasingly sharp canine teeth.
Immediately after, like a hungry tiger, he flew out.
