When two apex predators go to war, who will die first?
No one knows the answer to this. After all, the question is too vague. They are said to be two apex predators, but their tonnage, strength, fighting methods, and even fighting ideas are not known at all. How can one judge whether these two apex predators are willing to win or lose without knowing anything about it?
But no matter who wins or loses, one thing is certain.
That is, all other creatures around them will definitely die.
“Ehehehehehe——”
"Kill, kill, kill, kill—"
It was another round of desperate fighting. This was the unknown number of times the two sides had fought, maybe fifty times, or a hundred times. Anyway, no one would remember this number, not even each other. Will care about this.
After all, there is no room for distraction in a life-and-death fight.
"Zheng——"
The blades of thirteen bone scimitars and six short blades stained with blood passed by each other, and both sides were unscathed for a moment.
But after a hard fight, neither side had the intention to look back and fight again.
Instead, seize the time and kill the defeated soldiers on the grassland in front of you.
Thirteen bone scimitars swept past, and a dozen grassland soldiers who had just gathered to hug were torn into pieces by the flesh-and-blood monster birds. Du Chengfeng's side was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, with the short blade clamped between his fingers. The space was like sharp claws, and in just one killing, more than twenty heads were cut off.
Not enough, not enough.
If you want to kill the opponent, just relying on this accumulation is not enough.
"Next time we meet, I will definitely eat you!"
"I should have eaten you."
After the strange bird took off, Du Chengfeng also turned around and both parties left.
As it always has been.
The flesh-and-blood monster bird couldn't kill Du Chengfeng, who was full of evil spirits, and Du Chengfeng couldn't reach the flesh-and-blood monster bird flying into the air. This 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 will become stronger and you can kill the enemy of life and death.
They all think so.
But as their prey, those Qingyang tribe's grassland rout troops are limited after all.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have cleared the venue..."
In a bandit stronghold hidden in the mountains, Du Chengfeng was sighing after returning to rest.
It is indeed a pity. After all, there are not many living people in the entire Jizhou area at the moment. Ji Town was killed by the prairie warriors long ago when He Xiqing captured the city, and the villages and towns below were also killed long ago. At the beginning of the war, they had already fled south. As for the swordsmen and rangers left behind by Governor Liu as a civilian resistance force... these were driven away by Du Chengfeng himself. .
Facts have proved that although the swordsman named Cui Yuan has a psychopathic idea, his execution ability is outstanding. When asked to clear the field, he really beat away all the swordsmen and rangers, leaving no one behind. .
This directly resulted in Du Chengfeng being unable to find an opponent even if he wanted to kill a few people in the name of martial arts competition.
"Brother Du, what's wrong?"
Carpenter Li, who came to deliver the meal, also heard Du Chengfeng's sigh and couldn't help but comfort him.
"If it doesn't work, I mean if it doesn't work, you should run to the south, go to Yanzhou. If it doesn't work, go to Jiankang, go to the capital... There will always be someone who can deal with that monster, there will always be... …”
"Thinking too much."
Du Chengfeng shook his head repeatedly.
It's not that he hasn't thought about escaping, but right now the so-called Dachen in the south has even the border troops stewed by the monster - as we all know, the border troops guarding the border are often the most capable team. Even the border troops can't stop that monster, how can we expect that the people further south can stop it?
What's more, this monster can become braver and stronger as it fights and eats more.
Now is the best opportunity. Neither he nor the monster can kill anyone. In other words, the monster can no longer continue to grow at least for the time being.
Now, what the two sides are competing for is speed and familiarity with the surrounding environment.
Whoever manages to overwhelm the opponent with the weapons on his body first will be the final winner.
"I'll go out and take a look. I remember there are several robber dens..."
With that said, Du Chengfeng took the food and took a few hasty bites.
Carpenter Li also saw the faintly exposed scales between Du Chengfeng's sleeves.
"Brother Du, what are you..."
Carpenter Li grabbed Du Chengfeng's wrist. He couldn't believe what he saw.
"How come you have it on your hand...and on your arm?"
"Ah, it doesn't matter."
Du Chengfeng pulled down his sleeves but didn't pay much attention.
"If you want to defeat monsters, it's natural to become a monster... Although I don't know why I became like this, but it's okay. It feels pretty good."
As he spoke, Du Chengfeng gathered evil energy, which made his eyes as red as two will-o'-the-wisps in the dark cave.
"How's it going? He's handsome, isn't he?"
"..."
Carpenter Li didn't feel handsome at all. It was as terrifying as facing some kind of big cat.
"Oh, by the way, this is for you."
No longer looking at those eyes, Carpenter Li took out a well-cut handle from behind.
After getting the handle, Du Chengfeng's eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he took out the broken ax head from the saddle bag, knocked out the sawdust inside, and placed it on the handle.
Yes, the ax is so convenient. Even if the ax handle is broken, you can still use it by replacing it with another ax handle.
But it’s just a matter of continuing to use it.
It might be a good tool for chopping wood, but Du Chengfeng could no longer feel the cold air coming from Mobei.
Just like those two combat knives.
"It's better to leave it here with you."
With a sigh, Du Chengfeng handed the ax to Carpenter Li.
Then, he picked up the two swords from his side.
Du Chengfeng had been repairing the two swords since he came back from the attack on the Qingyang Division. The Yang clan members got their tools and set up a forging workshop in the bandit's den. With the half-bucket of water forging skills from a certain prairie blacksmith, he was able to reconnect the two broken blades. go back.
But whether it was because the craftsmanship was too crude or because his skills were poor, there was still no movement even though the two long knives had been connected to their blades.
Even if Du Chengfeng uses them to kill people, it will be the same.
Or even worse.
They were obviously stained with blood as before, but these two swords became more and more dull. If the weight in his hands hadn't reminded him that the two swords had not changed much, Du Chengfeng would have even thought that he was carrying two pieces of crudely made iron.
But when they struck the defeated soldiers on the grassland, the two sharp blades that could easily cut off bones and flesh broke with a clang on the spot.
It's like these two knives are dead.
Although Du Chengfeng also felt that using "death" to describe knives was a bit inappropriate, the feeling these two knives gave him was indeed lifeless.
In the past, the thick and heavy sword would always want to cut something, and also want cheap wine, while the horse-breaking sword would always struggle with the names of the awkward moves, or ask Du Chengfeng to read the remaining lines of the poem. ——Du Chengfeng once thought this was quite troublesome. A knife is a knife, he just needs to cut through it.
But now, when he holds two swords in his hands, no one will bother him anymore.
"I go out for a while."
Putting down the two swords, Du Chengfeng stood up.
Fortunately, after adapting to the evil spirit entering his body, it didn't matter if he used other weapons. Just like the seventeen short knives on his body, although they were ordinary goods that had not killed many people, when he used them, they were all powerful. The close-fitting short game is also extremely sharp.
If there was any problem, it was that he killed too many people.
Even if Carpenter Li didn't need to remind him of the changes in his body, he would have seen it himself. Obviously, excessive use of evil spirits into the body is not without cost. A large amount of evil energy poured into his body, not only turning his spirit into a tight string, but even his body itself was developing more and more in an inhuman direction.
"So, what exactly is this so-called sword evil spirit?"
Du Chengfeng still can't quite understand what this weird power is all about.
This thing seems to be able to enhance combat effectiveness, allow people to slash with huge blades of light, allow the weapons to exert various weird abilities, and even cause distortions in the body itself - it sounds like it can do anything in the legend The magical inner power is equally omnipotent.
But compared to the so-called magical internal power, this weird power is more vicious and bloody.
It can even turn people into inhumans.
At least he finally knew why He Xiqing became like that. After all, he was also changing in some unknown direction.
"At that time, will I be as crazy as He Xiqing?"
Du Chengfeng frowned.
He didn't know, he couldn't think of an answer to this question.
But right now, this is not something that needs to be considered.
"Ehehehehe——"
The ear-piercing howl resounded through the sky, and thirteen huge bone scimitars dug a large hole into the mountain in an instant.
Du Chengfeng, Li Carpenter, and the Yangjiabao villagers hiding here were also exposed.
"Hey hee hee hee! I discovered it!"
In mid-air, a monster named He Xiqing flapped its wings.
"You saved a lot of delicious food!"
"I'll eat you first."
He put his hands into his outer robe, and when he came out, he already had six sharp knives.
Holding the sharp knife between his fingers like sharp claws, Du Chengfeng lowered his body, revealing his increasingly sharp canine teeth.
Then, like a hungry tiger, it swooped out.
