In the Blade

At the beginning, Du Chengfeng didn't understand what the coyote wanted to express, but after recalling the story the other party had just told, Du Chengfeng suddenly realized the problem.

The coyote was originally a human, but now it has become a wolf. You must know that from beginning to end, only the old man has told the other party about the wolf, which means...

"You can't change back?"

Du Chengfeng tried to make a judgment.

"Did the old man fix your form?"

"It's more troublesome."

The coyote's face was also a little ugly.

"I can change back, I can become a human at any time, but I think there is nothing wrong with my current appearance, or in other words, this is what I should look like... You should understand what you said, right? Whether it is race, form, or external appearance, is it really important to us?"

"Important, and not important."

Du Chengfeng originally wanted to say that this kind of thing is of course important, but he changed his words temporarily when the words came to his lips.

Although he has always insisted on his human identity, he knows in his heart that it is hard to say that he is a normal human in his current state of being a lump of iron without any internal organs. He can actually understand what the coyote wants to express. Being as strong as them, they have long been qualified to freely choose their existence posture and no longer need to stick to their previous form.

Not only the form, but even the race can be re-selected. The coyote is a good example. It is obvious that it has taken the initiative to change from a human to a wolf.

"But it still can't be too ugly. For example, if the body is made of a ball of feces... that's a bit too much."

"Although what you said is right, can you change to a cleaner way of describing it?"

Even if the coyote is as calm as a mountain, it can't hold back a little when facing Du Chengfeng's jumpy description.

"But since you can say such words, you should understand what this is all about."

"..."

Du Chengfeng nodded slowly.

Being so strong, they no longer need to stick to their previous forms. They are fully capable of choosing a more suitable posture for themselves. Just like Du Chengfeng, if he tries to hold up his body, he may still be able to live like a normal person, or just hold up his body again and return to the huge posture of more than two meters.

But he still likes to use this less than three feet steel body. This extremely solid body is strong enough and can fully transmit power when taking action. Using this posture as a daily posture can also allow him to ignore most sneak attacks.

In the final analysis, he chose this posture based on his own understanding.

And this coyote... The situation is the same as his in theory.

The reason why it is the same in theory is naturally because it is completely different in reality. Obviously, although this coyote also thinks that the wolf posture is the most suitable for him, this so-called suitability and cognition are deliberately guided by others.

If the story of this coyote really exists, it means that the old man in the story only used a few words to have a profound impact on this coyote, and it has even continued to this day.

This is also the most outrageous part. This influence has continued to this day.

Du Chengfeng didn't know the age of this coyote, but he at least knew that before the Chen Dynasty was the Yu Dynasty, and before the Yu Dynasty was the Great Chu. There has never been any great scene in the past thousands of years. In other words, this great scene is obviously the dynasty before the Chu people, and the age of this coyote is probably not small - a long time means a long experience. This coyote will always encounter some things that can affect him more, always get some newer inspirations, and always get some better and more suitable forms for himself.

There are too many postures that are stronger than wolves. Even if they just turn into animals, the other party can completely turn into a lion or a tiger.

But this coyote still looks like a coyote, without any change.

This is enough to show what level of influence the old man has on this coyote.

Just through this scaly claw, Du Chengfeng can vaguely glimpse what kind of unreasonable and terrifying person this coyote encountered at the beginning.

Such means, such skills... He had never seen them, let alone heard of them! He couldn't even think of them!

"You don't look very well."

The coyote on the side spoke up.

"I told you that this kind of thing would scare you. After all, even I, after thinking about these things, felt a little... Fortunately, he might be dead."

"You also said that it's just a possibility."

Du Chengfeng was not so optimistic. He was ready for the battle.

After understanding all this, Du Chengfeng realized what the coyote just said about "perspective" meant - this is not necessarily a way to deal with things, but more likely a perspective to look at the world.

Just like the coyote in front of him, is the other party's understanding of "the survival of the fittest" really what he realized from the fight?

Or, does this perspective itself actually come from the old man who was fishing at the beginning?

This exploration may be more dangerous than he expected.

The unknown is terrifying, and Du Chengfeng even thought of retreating.

Retreat and rest, this reason is very justified, after all, they came too hastily, and even flew all the way here when they talked about this matter. They are not ready yet, or they have not made any preparations.

But do they really need to make any preparations?

The so-called preparations are all self-deceptions, just reasons to delay facing them. You must know that with the strength of the two of them, they can face any risks at any time. After all, everyone has fought all the way through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and their enemies will not give them any preparation time.

So after understanding this, the only thing left to do is to make a choice.

Is it to choose to turn back and enjoy the so-called peace, or to face the unknown danger.

"Is there really a choice for this kind of thing?"

When the two choices were in front of him, Du Chengfeng realized that even this choice seemed unnecessary.

It was impossible for him to retreat, just like in Jibei, he could not retreat and enjoy the false peace.

In fact, he has always had only one way, that is, to move forward, and forward again.

No matter what is waiting for him ahead.

"Anyway, let's go and have a look first."

After exhaling a breath of turbid air, when Du Chengfeng looked at the coyote beside him again, the feeling of being suppressed before was no longer so strong.

After all, this coyote also has his own fears, his own worries, and even his own retreats - just like this time he was specially selected to help. This kind of preparatory behavior can be said to be cautious, but it also exposes the fear hidden deep in the coyote's heart.

After all, this coyote is not a god who has made every plan, nor is he a master who is strong enough to ignore everything. Like him, this coyote will also be afraid and cowardly.

The difference between them doesn't seem to be that big.

"Let's go."

This time, it was Du Chengfeng who flew out first.

And the coyote looked at Du Chengfeng with a little more surprise in his eyes.

"It seems that I have found a good helper."

The coyote flew all the way to Du Chengfeng's side.

"You can understand the horror of that old man, but you can recover so quickly... If I were still young, I would really want to fight you."

"It's not too late now."

Du Chengfeng grinned.

"How about practicing now?"

"Forget it, I also said that I was young."

Coyote shook his head and sighed.

"I won't fight you now... After all, we still have things to do."

Saying this, Coyote stopped.

"We're here."

What appeared in front of Du Chengfeng and Coyote was a hole that looked ordinary, just like the other holes hanging in the sky in the distance. This hole also shone with light. From a distance, it was as bright as the stars hanging in the sky - but this hole was really a bit too ordinary, so ordinary that even Du Chengfeng frowned.

Du Chengfeng still remembered that when he saw the coyote's cave just now, he could already feel the smell of the grass and trees before he entered. After the coyote changed the environment of the cave, he could feel the cold air emanating from the cave even from a distance.

But now, he has come close to the new cave in front of him and is almost about to step in.

He still didn't feel anything.

"Is it restrained on purpose?"

Du Chengfeng looked at the empty cave in front of him.

"Or..."

"Normally, the smell here is closer to water."

The coyote explained.

"I have only seen it from a distance. He never allowed me to enter his cave. After all, caves are very private places. They can even be said to show the thoughts of the owner, so..."

"You can enter mine, right?"

Du Chengfeng was immediately unhappy.

"Why didn't you tell me about this big thing earlier?"

"Didn't you enter my cave first? I think this is a necessary step before cooperation. We have seen each other's ideas, which can be regarded as another form of honesty... Besides, this is not what I want to say."

The coyote was quite dissatisfied with Du Chengfeng's interruption, but he continued.

"What I want to say is that it is because his cave suddenly has no breath, so I think he should be dead, but I can't confirm it without seeing the body..."

"So you are ready to take the risk to touch his cave?"

Du Chengfeng suddenly found that this coyote seemed to be more courageous than him.

"What if he is really not dead?"

"If he is not dead, there is nothing to say."

The coyote narrowed his eyes.

"I can't live under his shadow all my life. Some things must be faced."

The coyote did not show any ferocious expression, and he still spoke with a calm look.

But in Du Chengfeng's eyes, the coyote at the moment was more fierce and cruel than any powerful enemy he had ever seen.

It seems that this former general chose the wolf as his external form for a reason.

It is not a tiger lurking in the shadows, nor a lion running on the grassland.

It is a wolf wandering in the midnight, with green eyes, ready to pounce and bite at any time.

"Then... go in?"

Du Chengfeng waved to the coyote.

"Together?"

"Go in."

After the words fell, the coyote and Du Chengfeng stepped into the deadly empty cave.

There was a bright light in the empty cave, but when Du Chengfeng stepped in, his vision suddenly became pitch black. If it were someone else, they might not feel anything wrong, but for Du Chengfeng, this was extremely incredible.

It was because Du Chengfeng's eyes were actually more like decorations.

After all, his entire body had lost its internal organs and turned into a piece of iron, and his head was no exception. His facial features, even his brain, had long been turned into a piece of iron when he was smashed by the three mountains. Although he had molded a set of decent facial features for himself to look good, this set of facial features could only be used normally.

The way he really collected information from the outside world was not through his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and tongue. How much could these things detect? What really brought him information was the specially trained ability to perceive the surrounding environment.

His power is his tentacles, and the feedback force will explain everything. Any slight movement cannot escape this perception of power.

But now, his perception suddenly can't detect anything.

Yes, nothing, nothing up in the sky, nothing down on the ground, nothing around, even the coyote that just came in with him has disappeared.

"What's going on?"

Du Chengfeng immediately sweated a little.

He couldn't think that this was just the first step into the cave, and he had already plunged into the trap.

This trap is so dangerous, just because he doesn't even know how to break it. The road behind him disappeared, and there was nothingness above, below, left and right - you know, when he was swallowed by the snake demon, he could at least step on the ground, but now... where is he?

"Isn't I sucked into a black hole or something like that?"

Du Chengfeng subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He really couldn't stand this dangerous fighting style.

But immediately, Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Just because, his hand seemed not to be raised.

"What's going on? Where is my hand?"

Du Chengfeng was stunned. How could his hand be gone?

If his hand couldn't move, what about his legs? What about his body? Which parts of him could move?

"Move! Move!"

Du Chengfeng struggled hard, trying to regain control of his body.

It was at this time that he suddenly felt that the surrounding environment also moved with him.

No, it was not just a feeling, but it really moved. The movement became more and more intense and powerful, and with this movement, Du Chengfeng even faintly saw the existence of light!

"Go first!"

Although he didn't know what the situation was at the moment, he seemed to have no other place to go except the place where the light was.

Maybe the direction of the light could bring him some new information, or maybe...

"Puff——"

Accompanied by a sound of water, Du Chengfeng saw the light again.

Not only was there light, he also felt his hands and feet again. Although his hands and feet were still very weak, Du Chengfeng could still barely support himself and look around.

It was this turn that made Du Chengfeng dumbfounded on the spot.

"Who... are you?"

Looking at the two still weak big monkeys in front of him, Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded.

"Who... am I?"

Du Chengfeng looked at his hands, but only saw a pair of furry monkey paws.

"Where am I?"

Du Chengfeng raised his head, but only saw endless towering trees.

"What's wrong with me?"

Du Chengfeng lowered his head, but saw a section of umbilical cord still connected to his belly.

A big monkey caught him and then bit off the umbilical cord.

It was at this time that Du Chengfeng realized what he had just experienced.

He was born.
