Chapter 634 I Don't Want to Be Human in My Next Life

"No need, you just need to do your own thing," Chen Guan said.

Gao Weiqiang nodded and left, thinking to himself, "If I can do my job well, then I can't just behead one enemy general."

Chen Guan had no idea what Gao Weiqiang was thinking and assumed that Gao Weiqiang had understood what he was saying.

I chatted with Gao Weiqiang for a while and found out about his recent progress in cultivation.

With the support of Chen Guan's abundant rare and precious materials, Gao Weiqiang had already reached the sixth level of awakening some time ago, and now he is at level 58. It won't be long before he reaches level 60.

Gao Weiqiang's secret technique has also been changed to a unique secret technique called "The Solitary Heart Technique".

This was chosen by Gao Weiqiang himself. At that time, Chen Guan gave him a secret method from the Great Xia King's treasury to choose from, and he picked this one unique item.

After watching it, Chen also felt that this secret method was very suitable for him.

The Lonely Heart Technique is quite peculiar; the lonelier a person is, the faster they can master it.

Gao Weiqiang is not a talkative person, so the two quickly ran out of things to talk about.

Gao Weiqiang continued sharpening his knife, while Chen Guan sat to the side, drinking tea and watching him.

Chen Guan also knows how to sharpen knives, so he thinks Gao Weiqiang's knife-sharpening is quite special.

Sharpening a knife aims for sharpness, but not all knives strive for absolute sharpness.

Especially for knives used on the battlefield, the sharper the better is not necessarily true.

The sharper the knife, the thinner the blade, and the easier it is to break.

Therefore, the knives used on the battlefield are mainly for slashing, and the blades are relatively thick, with only the tip being slightly thinner.

No matter how much you pursue a sharp knife, you can only leave a cutting edge of 20 to 30 degrees at most. When sharpening a knife, you need to keep the blade at a certain angle to the whetstone.

However, Gao Weiqiang doesn't sharpen knives like that. He places the entire blade against the whetstone, thinning the entire blade each time he sharpens it.

His dagger-like blade had been sharpened to be thinner than a sheet of paper, but he was still not satisfied and continued to sharpen it.

Chen Guan watched quietly, and only got up to leave when he remembered he had other things to do.

When he left, Gao Weiqiang was still sharpening his knife.

With preparations nearly complete, Chen Guan used the Great Xia King's treasury to arm the Ziyang Legion, now expanded to 412 men, almost to the teeth.

All soldiers are equipped with a full set of top-tier gear and pets, and all sorts of secret techniques are in place, plus a combo attack.

It wasn't that Chen Guan couldn't find more combined attack techniques, but rather that he didn't have the time to practice so many. Moreover, most combined attack techniques required talent or special duties, and were not suitable for all soldiers.

The talents of the Ziyang Legion are quite diverse, and their Destiny Stars are not uniform. Fortunately, most of them are cavalrymen or related to them.

Therefore, Chen Guan chose a relatively common combined attack technique for them to practice. This combined attack technique, called "Charge," only requires three simple secret techniques to combine, making it relatively easy to learn and easy to use.

This is the most suitable combo attack that Chen Guan can find right now; he'll think of something else later.

After all, the team is too small, and the combined attack can't achieve a particularly strong effect.

"If I win this battle, I will be able to secure a place for myself within the cave." Chen Guan thought that after he conquered a vast territory, he would bring Ji Nanhong over, point to the boundless land stretching from city to city, and tell her, "My beloved consort, this is the empire I have conquered for you. Spend it as you please."

However, he should still splurge and fight for the Heavenly Court Army, as it is the official army, making things much easier and allowing him to obtain resources that local forces cannot. With the Heavenly Court Army's status, he can freely enter the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens, and the Ten Great Families would have no reason to make things difficult for the Heavenly Court Army's master.

Ziyang City flew through the air, constantly approaching the direction of the Dumb City.

……

In the city of the mute people today, most of the buildings have collapsed, and most people can only find shelter among the ruins.

Most of them looked like skin and bones, almost deformed.

In the City of the Mute, no one has had a full meal in a long time, let alone the resources to cultivate.

Many practitioners' cultivation and vital energy show signs of regressing instead of progressing.

A man looked at his wife, who had become so thin that she was unrecognizable, his eyes filled with sorrow, pity, and deep self-reproach.

His wife became pregnant unexpectedly. Under normal circumstances, they could have returned to China to give birth to the child.

But here, they cannot give birth to a child, otherwise the child will become a demon.

Even if they wanted a demon child, they couldn't give birth to the child here, because such a child would still die, and in even greater agony.

Today, the City of Mute is a forbidden zone for life, a living hell.

“Child…you’ve come at the wrong time…this isn’t the human world…we can’t let you be born in hell…” The man stared at his wife’s belly, slowly raised his hand, but hesitated to bring it down.

That was his child; how could he bear to kill him before he was even born?

But he had no choice, he had no other options.

Being born is a more cruel choice than dying.

The man's hand trembled, but he still slowly reached towards his wife's belly.

"No..." The wife, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them, grabbed her husband's hands, and looked at him with pleading eyes, her eyes now dry of tears. "There's still time," she said. "There are still several months until my due date. As long as we can leave the secret realm before then, we can give birth to him..."

"We only have a few months left... No one can guarantee whether we'll live for more than a few days..." The husband closed his eyes in anguish.

“Then there’s no need. We’re going to die sooner or later anyway,” the wife said.

The husband sighed. As the baby grew, it would compete more for his wife's nutrients, but they had no food to eat, so where would they get nutrients for his wife?

In the end, the man chose to let go. Life was already hopeless, and there was only hell ahead. So the three of them would go to hell together.

"boom!"

A beam of light exploded in the sky, bombarding the temporarily activated city defense shield, causing it to flicker and sway as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

The demons launched another attack, the seventeenth in the past three days. The city's defensive shield had been breached multiple times and was running out of energy, making it practically useless.

The man embraced his wife, sat amidst the ruins, and stared blankly at the light bursting in the sky.

The wife leaned against her husband's chest, closed her eyes, and a dried tear rolled down her cheek: "In the next life... let's not be human..."
