Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 151 Am I Me?
Pei Xia felt like she had pulled over a long bench.

He sat on the bench, waiting silently.

Not long after, the spider arrived.

She shuffled to Pei Xia's side on eight feet and then sat down on the bench.

Pei Xia subconsciously reached out to touch her wine gourd, but couldn't find it, so she could only say, "There's nothing to offer."

The spider shook its head: "It's okay, I'm not hungry anymore."

"Huh? Haven't you been hungry for a long time?"

"Yes, it must be at least several hundred years ago."

"Tsk, high-level demonic beasts can really hold their liquor. Why aren't you hungry yet?"

The spider scratched its head and thought for a moment: "It's probably dead."

Pei Xia quickly waved her hand: "Nonsense, why isn't Changsun Yu here to sit and chat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle male voice came from behind him: "I'm here, I'm here."

Pei Xia turned his head and saw Changsun Yu leaning against something with his legs dangling, waving at him with a smile.

Changsun Yu smiled and said, "I've always been here; it's just that you're not."

Before Pei Xia could think further, the spider beside her sighed and continued her previous words: "Sigh, I originally thought that being the only one left was a stroke of luck, but in the end I was still going to die. Living these extra hundreds of years feels like a dream."

"Dream? What dream?"

"You don't know? You don't know you came to kill me?"

The spider's eight eyes rolled back in unison: "It's that...that...oh no, I had just become a demon beast back then, and my intelligence hadn't been developed yet, so I can't remember clearly."

"Tch~" Pei Xia and Changsun Yu said in unison, expressing their disdain.

Spider was a little embarrassed, and a blush seemed to appear on her dark head: "Anyway, a lot of very smart people got together to research some new gadget, saying that it can make smart people even smarter."

"What's this about smart people being smarter...?" Pei Xia looked at her expressionlessly: "Can't you be more specific?"

The spider bent its four front legs and propped them on its obsidian-like abdomen, declaring confidently, "I am a spider, and I cannot explain myself."

"Anyway, it was very difficult. They captured many people and animals, and locked us up in places with abundant spiritual energy, turning us into monsters, and then killing us one by one..."

"Fewer and fewer survived. Later, it seemed they succeeded. After their success, they killed some more, but not all of them."

"Some people left, some people stayed, and eventually they all died, leaving only us monsters."

"We couldn't leave the underground palace, so we could only eat each other. Eventually, I was the only one left. I had nothing left to eat, so I just had to endure it."

No wonder she was so weak.

Pei Xia nodded, but then thought, "Hey, don't you still have so many demon crystal cores? Those things are very nourishing, and they can also replenish spiritual energy."

When this was mentioned, the spider's dark face showed a very serious expression: "That's not edible."

"Why not?"

"It's for the little spider."

Pei Xia tilted her head: "Huh?"

The spider sat on the bench, seemingly finding it difficult to talk about these private matters. She twirled her legs incessantly, saying, "It's just... my little spider."

She said, "I used to be able to lay many little spiders, hundreds of them, but now my body is too weak, and I can only lay one egg. I want to leave all those demon crystals and inner cores to her. There is no spiritual power in the underground palace. Without these demon crystals and inner cores, she will not have the chance to become a demon beast, let alone develop intelligence. She will only live a muddled life."

Pei Xia asked her seriously, "If you turn into a monster, you still won't be able to get out, will you?"

"..." The spider was silent for a moment, then stretched out its long leg and punched Pei Xia in the chest. "Mind your own business, we spiders' business."

Pei Xia indeed fell silent. He sat on the bench, looking up at the enormous tumor that stretched towards the sky in the distance.

The calamity was displaying an unprecedented vitality, with the human brains repeatedly swelling and bulging, as if trying to stretch open the fleshy crevices.

The computing power enveloped countless strange cries, compressed into a roaring tidal wave that swept through consciousness, with giant waves crashing joyfully against the barrier that had finally been breached.

Pei Xia sighed regretfully, reached out and patted the spider's shoulder, the part of its body protruding below its head.

He said, "But aren't you a spider?"

The spider paused for a moment, then became furious: "How can I not be a spider? Look at my legs, look at my body, look at my head, and I even have a spinneret next to my rear end for spinning silk!"

Pei Xia didn't argue with her, but simply told her seriously, "First of all, spiders can't sit on stools."

Sure enough, the spider fell off the stool.

"Secondly, spiders don't blush."

There are no blood vessels in her face.

"And spiders can't speak human language."

Eight long legs stomped on the void, and the enormous monster slowly turned around, its eight eyes staring at Pei Xia, its bloody mouth opening to emit a low and hoarse howl.

Pei Xia knew what she was talking about.

He reached out and patted the spider's head: "You are not a spider, you are a wisp of a calamity-wielding creature tainted by the fire of the earth's veins, you are a part of Ru Tao."

After saying that, he didn't forget to turn to look at Changsun Yu: "Including you, you are not Changsun Yu."

Perhaps due to the different ideologies they were influenced by, Changsun Yu's inner fire seemed more human. He even shrugged and asked Pei Xia with a smile, "Yes, I'm not human, so are you?"

If you are, how come you are here, and how come you see me, see the spider?

On the summit of Qingfeng, the roar of Changsun Yu as he lay dying still echoed in my ears.

How do you know you are you?

Pei Xia wasn't fixated on proving anything to him, and of course, given his current state, he couldn't prove anything anyway.

However, his thinking remained clear, and his judgment remained accurate: "If you want to know if I'm human, it's simple, just wait."

Because the spider is here.

This means that the heart fire belonging to this demonic beast has flowed into Pei Xia's mind.

Ru Tao's power can offset the effects of the Calamity Pig to some extent. Before this, Pei Xia had just crossed the edge of losing control, and now, the influx of another Heart Fire will strengthen his defenses in time.

If Pei Xia is indeed Pei Xia, then as the inner fire stabilizes in his sea of ​​consciousness, he will naturally gradually regain control of his body.

He can only hope that this period of time won't be too long.

……

The evil spirit in her mind was uncontrollably attracting Ru Tao.

A crimson fire was raging from Pei Xia's mouth and nose, flowing into his mind.

This power will strengthen the solidity of his consciousness, allowing him to more effectively resist the monster's erosion.

The fire elemental power it contained made the flames flowing in his eyes even more intense.

The flesh on his right arm burst open with fissures, but instead of blood, golden-red flames burst forth from within.

He stared at the spider monster's eight eyes, which finally revealed fear, and his condescending face showed undisguised ferocity: "Die, you beast!"

The golden-red flames erupted instantly, and a surging heat wave burst forth, instantly burning the monster's head and rising from the bottom up to the dome!
