Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 170 The Second Consciousness

"Crimson...!"

The giant snake submerged in the sea of ​​blood neighed in anger and fear.

It doesn't seem to have much wisdom, but those two words seem to awaken the memory buried in its instinct.

make it repeat.

Boom!

The huge snake body rolled violently in the sea of ​​blood, with a great momentum, like thunderclaps, waves of blood hundreds of meters high were set off, washed over the submerged buildings of the gods, and aroused brilliant light.

hum!
A majestic golden mountain suddenly descended over the sea of ​​blood.

The melodious and solemn chants echoed in the sky, surrounded by holy and pure white angels with wings on their backs.

Pieces of feathers shrouded in brilliance fall in mid-air, making people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze, and the whole body seems to be shining with warm sun.

The coming of the sacred mountain immediately caused waves in the sea of ​​blood. On the magnificent and magnificent buildings, the brilliance bloomed with the sacred mountain, and the golden light rippling like water waves enveloped the entire sea of ​​blood!
Only, the crimson palace supported by the sky-reaching blood pillar is always high above.

Like a throne that never falls.

overlooking,

The sea of ​​blood is like a tide.

Cheng Shen, who was in the process of evolution, couldn't even see this scene.

That faint red light enveloped him, as if isolating him in another world.

Neither the blood wave from the giant snake nor the coming of the golden mountain could affect him.

of course.

His tiny figure, compared to this endless sea area with many waves, is as insignificant as the sand.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
……

The huge heartbeat echoed in Cheng Shen's chest, like a volcano that was brewing thunder and was about to erupt.

The fiery blood flowed through his body, making his whole body red and steaming, like a boiled prawn, blue and black blood vessels floated under his body surface, and were covered by fine snake scales, and so on. .

Cheng Shen could only feel that all the muscles in his body seemed to be active, wriggling under the skin like big snakes.

And in this process,
The blood in his body has gone through new and old cycles again and again.

Every time, the replaced old blood would condense into a blood cocoon next to his heart.

And this blood cocoon is getting bigger and bigger, and its color is getting darker.

until the ninth time.

The whole blood cocoon has been condensed into the size of a fist, and the whole body is dark, but the surface is densely covered with deep red patterns like spider webs.

Like a beautifully carved work of art.

It is juxtaposed with the heart, extending out a series of bifurcated and densely branched details, which are connected to every blood vessel in Cheng Shen's body, like a second heart, constantly sending out scarlet and dazzling blood.

dong dong!

dong dong!

……

Cheng Shen's heart beat again and again.

It is connected twice.

The blood cocoon slowly shrinks and expands, as if imitating the operation of the heart.

And it serves the same function as the heart.

"Two hearts?"

A trace of doubt arose in Cheng Shen's bewilderment.

Is this the change brought about by the spirit warrior's advancement to perfection?

Although he is relatively proficient in using the professional ability of the spirit warrior, he has not explored much about the profession itself, and he doesn't know much about it.

but.

He has been aware of it.

The main core ability of the spirit warrior is actually only the bright red form.

As for the soul form, it is more like an incidental skill comprehended after mastering the bright red form...

after all.

The scarlet form is the fusion of one's own physical powers into one.

But among them, only the three basic attributes of physique, strength, and agility are included.

And doesn't the stripped spirit form a soul form?
So.

Compared with the bright red form, the soul form has great defects, although it can concentrate on enhancing one's own mental strength.

But extremely fragile.

Broken when touched.

There are not many life-saving means in the bright red form.

Of course, Cheng Shen prefers that the potential of the soul form is not weaker than that of the bright red form.

It's just not fully exploited for some reason.

Think about it too...

I'm afraid there won't be any crimson inheritors who will get cheating talent like energy control.

Will use the soul form as a powerful means of combat.

Cheng Shen's thoughts gradually drifted.

Then come back to God.

The main source of power in the bright red form is his heart, and now having one more means that his power will be doubled.

This is naturally a good thing.

Available soon.

Cheng Shen sensed something unusual.

In the blood cocoon like a finely carved work of art, a ray of spiritual fluctuations actually emanated.

clear.

stable.

There was no clear thinking conveyed in that mental fluctuation, only ignorance and novelty.

Like a baby who just opened his eyes and looked at the whole world.

Cheng Shen felt a chill.

Just came here once.

Now again? !
And this consciousness still comes from Crimson's own inheritance!

He didn't perceive any malice from that mental fluctuation, but he had the experience of a giant snake trying to occupy his body.

How could he not be vigilant?
At this time.

Cheng Shen also found out.

The original awareness of the giant snake condensed in his body has not been completely wiped out, but has been deeply hidden.

If it wasn't for the spiritual power unintentionally emitted from the blood cocoon to touch it.

He's probably not aware of it yet.

Letting a monster that looks like a god and is full of malice towards him have residual consciousness in his body, just thinking about this kind of thing makes Cheng Shen terrified!
"No matter what you are... all disappear to me!"

Cheng Shen felt cold in his heart.

Suddenly.

He wanted to mobilize his spiritual consciousness to crush those two consciousnesses.

Although one of these two strands of consciousness comes from Crimson and the other from the giant snake, they are both extremely weak at the moment.

But when Cheng Shen was about to directly crush the consciousness in the blood cocoon.

He suddenly felt a strong palpitation.

The throbbing comes from itself.

It seems that obliterating the consciousness in the blood cocoon will bring him great harm, and this harm will directly affect his evolution process...

"Is this thing really the key to breaking through perfection..."

Cheng Shen's thoughts sank.

He thought of the spirit-possessed warrior who appeared in front of him back then.

It is one body and two souls.

Therefore, it can display the abilities of the bright red form and the soul form at the same time without mastering the secret skills such as the Demon Soul Thousand Body.

Now it seems.

That's where the secret comes from.

Breaking through to perfection, a second consciousness will condense in his body!
Although, the newborn consciousness condensed in the blood cocoon may not necessarily be harmful to him, it can be said that it is a twin.

It is a state of being that is even closer than conjoined twins.

But what Cheng Shen couldn't tolerate was that this strand of consciousness was completely independent of his control.

Who can bear another autonomous mind living in their own body?

but.

Erase this strand of thinking.

It means that he will no longer be able to embark on the path of Crimson inheritance.

This is the price?
Is this also the price?
Cheng Shen always believed that all the gifts he got from the system had a corresponding price, but the price has not yet been paid.

And now.

He finally had to face one of the costs and make a choice.

It is to move on and get used to the change of one twin.

Or stop there and find another way to become stronger?

"What if... I don't choose either path?!"

The idea suddenly sprouted.

Cheng Shen's consciousness sank into the blood-red body again, and he could feel that the consciousness in the blood cocoon was condensing and growing, and maybe it would eventually be born like a baby, sharing the authority of the body with him.

Not only is this strand of consciousness completely independent, it also controls the power of another heart.

Equivalent to having half of his body control.

if.

Later, the two disagreed.

Cheng Shen will even "separately act" during the battle!

He no longer hesitated.

Immediately, he mobilized the ray of consciousness that he had fused into his physical body at the beginning, and touched the blood cocoon.

Since, he couldn't prevent the birth of consciousness in the blood cocoon.

Why not take full control of it!

This kind of method would not have been imagined if Cheng Shen hadn't mastered the Demon Soul Thousand Body.

But since he already has the experience of distracted control, he is naturally familiar with it.

moment.

The ray of consciousness that merged into the blood cocoon disappeared, and he lost contact with Cheng Shen.

He suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his consciousness.

It was as if the soul had been torn apart.

In fact.

The impact of being devoured on him is equivalent to the damage to the soul.

Cheng Shen didn't care about the tearing feeling, and quietly experienced the changes in the blood cocoon.

That consciousness became stronger after devouring his consciousness.

Can be hidden.

It also made Cheng Shen feel a familiar wave emanating from it.

efficient!

Cheng Shen's spirit was greatly lifted, and immediately another branch of consciousness was formed, which melted towards the blood cocoon.

But right now.

The giant snake consciousness hidden in his body that he had ignored suddenly sprang out, it condensed into a small gray snake, and the scarlet bright eyes revealed confusion, as if it was lured out by the power of division.

It opens its mouth.

He actually swallowed that wisp of consciousness in one gulp!
"Hiss...you want it too?"

Cheng Shen's face twitched in pain, and he gasped, his tone inexplicable.

"Okay, I'll give it all to you!"

He said generously.

immediately.

Cheng Shen directly separated more than a dozen branches of consciousness from his consciousness, and dispersed towards them like a gossamer.

This is an extremely risky behavior.

Whether it is the blood cocoon or the consciousness of the giant snake, it is a manifestation of spiritual energy.

It's like Cheng Shen can increase his spirit by using soul crystals.

The consciousness he divided can also nourish and strengthen them.

Let them grow faster.

Once they grow enough to rival his main consciousness, in the best case, three consciousnesses will coexist in his body at the same time!
This is a hundred times more critical than the original situation of twins in one body.

After all, one of them is the giant snake whose consciousness is the suspected god, and it is likely to be backlashed by the other party and become the carrier of the giant snake's resurrection.

He does so.

Naturally, there is a certain reliance.

Demon Soul Thousand Body itself is a skill to control consciousness.

Moreover, those consciousnesses swallowed by blood cocoons and giant snakes will not be digested by them quickly.

Even if Cheng Shen wants to absorb a strange spiritual body, he must first purify the resentment and consciousness remnants in it!
But they are not in a hurry for meat and vegetables, and they will devour them directly without refusing to come!

This leads to.

Cheng Shen's separated consciousness will always have some residues in their bodies.

It was also because he sensed the remaining mental fluctuations in the blood cocoon.

To make this choice!

of course.

This is still a certain risk.

Cheng Shen wanted to ensure that the mental fluctuations remaining in their bodies were strong enough to surpass their own consciousness, and this required him to keep feeding blood cocoons and giant snakes in order to leave enough remnants of consciousness in their bodies.

if.

They are now self-aware.

It is completely possible to hide after devouring his consciousness.

Digest quietly.

In that way, Cheng Shen's sense of feeding was completely in vain, and it became the spiritual food for strengthening the opponent.

But thankfully.

The blood cocoon was born.

The serpent is confused.

Neither has yet developed a clear awareness of self-discrimination.

and so.

Visitors are not rejected.

Cheng Shen's originally huge consciousness quickly shrank by a full circle.

A first-level demon soul can separate one hundred points of consciousness, and he directly fed half of it to the blood cocoon and the giant snake.

The consciousness in the blood cocoon is so vigorous that it is almost about to be born.

The little gray snake also swelled to the thickness of a little finger, as if a thick tendon was entrenched in his body.

"It's time to harvest..."

Cheng Shen thought very weakly.

Being continuously devoured, this kind of blow seemed to tear his soul into two halves.

That pain.

Can be imagined.

Fortunately, it's all worth it.

Cheng Shen could feel that the mental fluctuations left in his blood cocoon and giant snake had become two bombs that could be detonated at any time.

"boom!"

He simulated the sound of bombs roaring in his mouth.

of course.

Neither the blood cocoon nor the little snake exploded.

But the consciousness in their bodies was overwhelmed, crushed, and took the initiative by Cheng Shen's residual spirit in an instant!
Immediately.

Two wonderful spiritual links feed back in the depths of Cheng Shen's consciousness.

The blood cocoon was still beating slowly with the rhythm of the heart, and the little gray snake lay obediently in front of Cheng Shen.

"Success."

Cheng Shen couldn't stop the joy on his face.

If he wanted, he could fuse the blood cocoon and the little snake's consciousness into one at any time.

Get back strong.

It will even be stronger than the previous peak state.

And this also means that the only disadvantage of the spirit-possessed warrior breaking through to the perfect level has been completely eliminated by him.

At this time.

On the surface of Cheng Shen's body, the snake scales with a metallic texture had been completely shaped and no longer appeared frequently, and his muscles, which seemed to have been born with strange activity, also began to shrink, condensing into rock-like tendons.

Zheng!
As he swung his arms, the scales rubbed against each other, and there was a clanging sound of gold and iron.

For a moment, Cheng Shen thought he had evolved into an iron man!
"It is a special ability obtained by absorbing life crystal nuclei."

Cheng Shen was taken aback.

Then remembered.

The evolution of the spirit-possessed warrior will not have such an impact. These scales covering the body surface are all additional effects from the life crystal nucleus.

He hadn't had time to take a closer look.

suddenly.

There was a soft ringing in my ears.

click!
On the surface of the blood cocoon, the dark shell covered with complicated patterns suddenly burst into a fine crack.

This crack quickly spread to both ends, and in the blink of an eye, the blood cocoon was divided into two halves.

Click!

There was a louder voice than before.

It was a red, illusory slender tentacle, like a drifting light band, protruding from the inside of the blood cocoon, breaking through the broken outer wall.

"how come……"

Cheng Shen couldn't help frowning, seeing the figure behind the tentacles breaking out of the shell, his expression became inexplicably serious.

"How could such an ugly thing be born..."
