However, by this time, the Human Pig Project had already been launched. Capturing such a powerful being with infinite resurrection capabilities would not be so easy. The only option was to try turning him into a human pig during the battle.
If the opponent can commit suicide even without hands or feet, then there's no way to fight them. But at least the five we captured before didn't have that ability, otherwise they would have committed suicide and returned to the city long ago.
Hao Jiu has basically figured out the situation of the target system. This system is likely a new system that is less than five years old, but it has unlimited potential, its supernatural powers are very practical, and it is also very powerful.
First of all, there's the feature of infinite resurrection. Although these people have become emotionless and speechless robots, they become more powerful the more they die.
Secondly, even if they don't die, they can still increase their strength, which is why Hao Jiu had Liu Yan and An Jingsi guard them together. Otherwise, if those guys woke up after increasing their strength, An Jingsi would most likely be done for.
Furthermore, the target host also seems to have some special abilities to remotely assist these summoned warriors, which Hao Jiu calls summoner skills.
At that moment, in the small room where Li Cunxin and the others were being held, a flash of white light suddenly appeared on Shi Jingsi's body, and then he abruptly opened his eyes and jumped up, the ropes binding him falling off at the same time!
"Not good!" Liu Yan didn't expect that despite all the precautions he had taken, an accident still occurred. He knew that the ropes binding them were magical artifacts, and the bones of these five people had already been crushed!
Just as An Jingsi was about to kill him with the Yuwang Spear, two bolts of lightning suddenly struck down from above. Both he and Liu Yan were struck by the lightning, and although it was not fatal, they were both in a state of dizziness.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Jingsi brought his five fingers together and used a lightning-fast hand chop to kill Shi Jiantang, who was standing next to him, and then killed three other people in succession.
But by this time, Liu Yan and An Jingsi had regained their senses. Liu Yan used the Overlord's Shave Step to rush over and knock Shi Jingsi away, successfully saving Li Cunxin and the other two.
An Jingsi also wielded the Yuwang Spear and attacked. Killing Shi Jingsi would allow him to revive, but if he didn't kill him, Shi Jingsi might commit suicide, and the other three people might also be killed, leaving none of them alive.
After being knocked away, Shi Jingsi didn't linger and immediately broke through the window to escape!
"I'll go after them! You stay here and keep watch. Kill whoever wakes up!" Liu Yan said, already drawing his halberd and chasing after them.
After Shi Jingsi escaped outside, he grabbed a rake from the yard and launched a surprise attack on Liu Yan—a counterattack, using a rake to grab him.
Liu Yan wouldn't take farm tools seriously. Did he think his protective aura was fake? Even if the rake hit him on the head, he would be completely unharmed, and it might even shatter the rake.
However, the rake in Shi Jingsi's hand was much sturdier than he had imagined. Not only did it not break when it collided with the halberd, but it also caused Liu Yan a burning pain.
Clang clang clang...
boom!
A bolt of lightning struck Liu Yan on the head, but this time Liu Yan did not feel dizzy, only pain.
This injury was nothing more than a scratch to Liu Yan, but the problem was that Shi Jingsi's attack speed was much faster and his strength was much greater than before he was captured. Liu Yan was unable to kill him for a while.
An Jingsi wanted to go out and help, but she was afraid that the three people in the room would cause trouble again.
Jinyang, the royal palace.
Xiang Zhuang and his men retreated swiftly, quickly creating distance between themselves and the enemy.
Swish, swish, swish...
An invisible sword aura flew across the sky, limbs and arms were severed, and six human pigs fell to the ground!
The first step of the Human Pig Project was completed. The powerful energy attack succeeded, and all six enemy soldiers, including Li Yuanba, were turned into limbless human pigs, just like Lady Qi!
In the hot spring, a handsome man wielding a silver spear stabbed the newly resurrected Shi Jiantang to death. "I underestimated them, but defeating me won't be so easy!"
Chapter 485 Instant Kill
Whether it's a human pig or a human stick, Hao Jiu doesn't believe that simply cutting off the limbs of Li Yuanba and the others will subdue them.
Sure enough, before the six human stumps had fully hit the ground, they lit up with white light one after another, and the severed limbs and weapons disappeared instantly. When the white light dissipated, they were reattached to their respective bodies.
That's not all. A spherical shield appeared on Li Yuanba and the others, and their weapons were faintly crackling with electricity.
"Again!" As Hao Jiu spoke, Xiang Zhuang and the others once again manipulated invisible sword energy to slash at Li Yuanba and the others.
This time, however, they failed to sever the limbs of the six people again; they only managed to destroy the spherical shield.
Li Yuanba and the others roared and charged forward, intending to engage Xiang Zhuang and the others in hand-to-hand combat again. However, Xiang Zhuang and the others used Moon Step to fly into the sky. Being able to fly is definitely a major advantage in lower planes.
However, Li Yuanba rushed to Ji Bu's feet and swung his hammer just like before!
Bang!
This hammer blow was so powerful and heavy that it knocked Ji Bu down from the sky!
Before Ji Bu could figure out what was happening, he fell from the sky. The others were in a similar situation; they dodged the first blow but were also knocked down by subsequent attacks.
Hao Jiu cursed under his breath, "It seems the enemy can ignore aerial combat. Let's use hit-and-run tactics and avoid a direct confrontation for now! Xiang Zhuang, have you spotted that guy?"
"I think I felt it just now, but it disappeared immediately, so I'm not sure." Xiang Zhuang had just fought the Wu brothers with a few blows, but they all made him feel like he was going to vomit blood. It seemed that the more force he used, the greater the backlash he received. However, when he attacked with domineering energy sword qi from a distance, there was no such backlash.
"Who cares where we fight? Let's all charge over there!" Hao Jiu couldn't use the system radar, so he had to use other methods to determine the target's location. Only by killing the target system's host could this battle truly end.
Li Yuanba and his group were strong, but it wasn't enough to keep Xiang Zhuang and the others occupied. One Overlord Moon-Shaving Step was enough to break free from the battle, and another was enough to create distance. After several such attempts, they managed to shake off the six men.
Then, Li Yuanba swung his golden hammer and smashed it to death... quickly killing the other five people, and then smashing himself to death as well!
Hao Jiu's lips twitched violently. This way of returning to the city is really environmentally friendly, convenient, and fast...
On the other hand, the battle between Liu Yan and Shi Jingsi had reached a fever pitch. Shi Jingsi's strength had increased significantly, and he could now beat Liu Yan until he vomited blood even with a broken stick in his hand.
Liu Yan also discovered that the reason he vomited blood was mainly due to the backlash he received from attacking his opponent, which was very frustrating. Shi Jingsi also had recovery methods and could occasionally unleash a few bolts of lightning. It would be difficult for Liu Yan to kill him, and even more difficult to capture him.
If Liu Yan could improve his strength again, or if An Jingsi could come and lend a hand, things would probably be much easier.
But why miss such a good opportunity to fight?
Thinking of this, Liu Yan also became determined. He would either succeed or die trying, and he used all the domineering energy in his body to attack, even if it meant that he would be covered in wounds from the backlash.
Shi Jingsi's speed has increased significantly, and he is also a 'robot' without any pain or emotion, which is why he has been able to fight Liu Yan until now, and even gain the upper hand.
However, Liu Yan fought desperately, becoming even more explosive and faster, which Shi Jingsi couldn't keep up with. As a result, both of them coughed up blood...
Inside the room, An Jingsi grew increasingly anxious. Just then, Hao Jiu spoke.
"An Jingsi, the decisive moment has arrived. Immediately open the system shop; there are still four array plates inside. Just do this..."
In fact, to ensure complete safety, array plates were placed at the four corners of the courtyard where these people in a vegetative state were being watched. These array plates could form transparent protective shields to block outside attacks and prevent anyone from coming to rescue or assassinate them.
The problem turned out to be that the formation itself malfunctioned, rendering the external setup useless.
Fortunately, Hao Jiu had a backup plan. These four array plates could also create a small barrier to isolate most of the attacks from the outside.
At the hot spring center, Li Yuanba and the others had just been resurrected when the roof was gone.
That handsome guy with the gleaming silver spear who's never actually fought looks like the host!
"As expected, it's here! Kill!" Xiang Zhuang instantly conjured an invisible greatsword and slashed down, while Ji Bu and the others also unleashed their ultimate moves to destroy the city.
With all four generals working together, although they can't unleash the full power of the Overlord card, their combined strength is still comparable to the Overlord's might during the card recording.
This attack instantly leveled the entire palace, including Li Yuanba, leaving no trace of him. Only the handsome young general managed to escape unscathed by creating a cracked light shield.
"Oh, this must be Luo Cheng, right? The system certainly knows how to choose its host." Hao Jiu smiled slightly. The hardest thing for Xiang Yu's men when they went on missions was identifying their target, and now they had found one.
"Who are you people?! How can you be so strong?!" Host Luo Cheng roared.
However, his answer was the terrifying secret technique of the Three-Sword Style! The Great Three Thousand Great World!
Xiang Sheng had just smashed the palace roof with his first strike, and then immediately slashed at Luo Cheng with his second. Why waste words with him? The sooner the better.
boom!
Luo Cheng's protective shield shattered instantly, and he was decapitated in an instant, dead!
Just then, Li Yuanba, Yuwen Chengdu, and the others, who had just been instantly killed by Xiang Zhuang and his group, were resurrected and pounced on Xiang Sheng.
"Die!" Li Yuanba was the fastest, and his twin hammers slammed into Xiang Sheng's head like a meteor striking the moon!
It broke...
It turns out that this was just an afterimage left behind by Xiang Sheng!
Yuwen Chengdu and the others were a little slower, and before they could even touch the afterimage, they were once again bombarded and killed by Xiang Zhuang and the others with their ultimate moves!
At this moment, a golden light flashed on Luo Cheng's corpse, and Luo Cheng was resurrected. The host can also be resurrected after death!
Hao Jiu licked his lips. "I'm definitely taking this system module!"
"Time-space teleportation!" Luo Cheng dared not be careless at this moment. He didn't even know which one was the enemy's host, or whether several systems were coming to besiege him together.
In short, if we don't run now, it's not just being crazy, it's being stupid!
"Where do you think you're going?" Hao Jiu had just activated the dimensional blockade. Although it couldn't cover the entire dimensional plane when it was first activated, it was enough to cover this palace.
This was also the result of Hao Jiu's later experiments. Unless the other party runs out of the area controlled by the dimensional lock at an extremely fast speed and then teleports, the teleportation will definitely fail.
"Yes, plane, lock. You can't escape." Even in despair, the cube system's voice remained emotionless and electronic.
"Then I'll fight you to the death... Ah!" Luo Cheng's head flew high again. He finally understood that these people hadn't used their full strength when they fought Li Yuanba and the others!
Hao Jiu smiled slightly, "Four little tyrants plus a little Zoro can't handle you, you little rascal? Twenty throwing knives in formation, full power! Instant kill!"
Swish, swish, swish...
"since……"
Chapter 486 Pesticides
Hao Jiu had long suspected that this system was somewhat similar to the mobile game "Honor of Kings," and it turned out to be true.
There's an important piece of information hidden here: the game Honor of Kings has only been around for five years, so this system is from the same era as Hao Jiu's system—a cute, newbie system indeed.
However, this system didn't retain complete memories and emotions, and it spoke rather slowly. Well, in the end, it tried to self-destruct, but it died right after saying the word 'self'.
The cube crystal is fragile, perhaps imitating the moment of shattering at the end of the game, but there is no explosion, as a dead system cannot self-destruct.
Once the target system crashed, Li Yuanba and his men, including Shi Jingsi, Li Cunxin, and others on the other side, all disappeared, along with their weapons.
Therefore, those people were not truly resurrected; they simply became game characters. Once the game ended, regardless of winning or losing, they would all return to dust.
Hao Jiu found some module fragments among a large pile of pieces, and then pieced them together like building blocks. After absorbing them, he was able to gain most of the functions.
"Resurrection, resurrection, I want the resurrection function!" Hao Jiu roared inwardly.
Although this might be a fake resurrection, it's really useful. You can use it as a summoning skill. I won't even mention Li Cunxin's level. The heroes of Sui and Tang are quite strong. It's good for things like mine detection. It's much better than summoning that dumb goblin.
Hao Jiu's main goal is the module, so he didn't pay much attention to energy, since he wouldn't have much anyway, and his energy reserves didn't seem to change much.
There weren't any good items, after all, that guy was a newbie system and had lost most of his self, so he could only earn energy in a proper way.
