047 Free Heart!
(I followed my brothers' advice. It's not cold. I went to the hospital today to get water for a day. It's much better. Now the first update is available, and there will be a second update later. Thank you for your concern!)
"Break this cage?"
Hearing the words, Zhou Feng and others also turned their eyes to the cage with their shackles.
The cage is very simple. It looks like the ancient prison in the Celestial Empire. It is made of a kind of black wood. Judging from the incomplete texture on the wood and the small holes bitten by insects and ants, the wood does not seem to be very strong. So at this moment, Zhou Feng and others couldn't help feeling a trace of doubt in their hearts.
Is there anything strange about this kind of cage that seems to be broken with one punch?
Thinking of this, Zhou Feng also narrowed his eyes slightly, then took a deep breath, turned his right hand into a silver blade, and cut into the wooden cage fiercely.
Poo!
The wooden cage is indeed much harder than it looks. Even if Zhou Feng has used 80% of his strength to cut down, he still failed to completely cut off the black cage in front of him, but only half of it was deeply stuck in it.
"It's okay. A few more times should be able to cut off this cage."
Although there was no knife to cut off the cage, Zhou Feng did not have any depression on his face. Instead, his eyes lit up, and then he was ready to pull out the sharp blade of his right hand and continue to attack the cage in front of him. But at the moment when he was about to pull out the sharp blade of his right hand, the black wood stuck with the sharp blade unexpectedly bloomed a dark black light, and with the shining of the dark black light, the black cage, which was originally full of broken wormholes, seemed to be transformed, and also emitted a shiny metallic luster. . It seems that at this moment, this black wood is no longer wood, but some kind of tough metal.
With the transformation of the cage, Zhou Feng also felt a strong repulsive force coming from the black cage, which made his body shake and directly back a few steps back, and the sharp blade that was originally stuck in the cage was naturally pulled back by him.
"How could this happen?"
Looking at the cage that was intact and emitting metallic luster, Zhou Feng's pupils suddenly shrank, and then suddenly waved the sharp blade in his hand and chopped on the cage again. However, this time the situation was completely different from just now. With a fierce roar, the sharp blade that Zhou Feng chopped on the cage was also bounced back heavily, and he himself was hurt by the anti-earthquake force, and his heart was stuffy and almost vomited blood.
"It's impossible. Why has this cage become so tough!"
After taking a deep breath, Zhou Feng healed his shock injury, and then turned his eyes to the cage like black iron.
He has used almost 90% of his strength with the knife just now. He is confident that even a strong man in the middle level of the main god does not dare to resist, but why can this cage block his attack undamaged and shock himself?
Thinking of this, Zhou Feng's eyes couldn't help becoming solemn, and then he turned his head and looked at his teammates in other cells.
However, to his expectation, the cage in front of everyone is a little different from his at this moment. Some people's cages look rotten, but some people's cages are made of intact black wood, which looks extremely tough. After discovering this, Zhou Feng couldn't help frowning again and began to recall what he had just said.
"To test our hearts, does the toughness of this cage have nothing to do with strength, but only to our hearts?"
Looking back on Ying's words, Zhou Feng seemed to have found some answers, but he was still a little uncertain. However, at this moment, a soft sound of broken wood suddenly came to his ears, and then the cheers of Zeng Yurou also sounded: "Yeah, I'm out!"
Looking at Zeng Yurou standing outside the cage and a piece of rotten wood under her feet, everyone couldn't help showing a trace of astonishment on their faces. No one expected that the first person to break this cage would be the weakest little Lori in the Snake Tooth Team.
"Yes, I didn't expect you to break the prison of sin in such a short time. It's really beyond my expectation."
Looking at Zeng Yurou standing outside the prison cheering, a gentle smile suddenly flashed in his eyes. Then he nodded, walked to Zeng Yurou and said, "You have the power of the gods, but you can still maintain a pure heart. Child, you are really good."
"Pure heart?"
Hearing what Ying Yu said to Zeng Yurou, Zhou Feng's mind also suddenly recalled the scene that had just happened. At first, the cage in front of him was as rotten and fragile as the cage that trapped Zeng Yurou, but when he cut it off with a knife, it became extremely tough, so it seemed that the key to breaking the cage was not relying on strength, but the power of the soul.
Thinking of this, Zhou Feng also took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, approached the cage, put his hands on the cold cage, and began to feel it seriously.
Sure enough, when his hands touched the cage, he could faintly feel that a wonderful and obscure force was rapidly spreading from the cold cage to his body, or his memory. With the spread of the invisible force, familiar scenes began to flash in his mind.
And these scenes, without exception, are all pictures of him killing the enemy or slaughtering innocent people. The clearest of them is his memory of using the virus to turn YN and RB into dead countries.
Although these pictures are just his memory, at this moment, under the action of the obscure force, it seems to have become a strange force, and permeates into the black cage along those forces. With the penetration of this strange power, the already dark and cold cage suddenly became more dark and cold, and even exuded a piercing chill behind, as if what Zhou Feng was holding in his hand at this moment was not a piece of black wood or black iron, but a piece of ice.
"It turned out that the guilt in my heart for those innocent dead cast this cold and hard cage..."
After a moment, Zhou Feng finally opened his eyes and sighed heavily.
Although he is decisive and can even be called a murderer, after all, he is a human and retains human nature in his heart, so he will inevitably feel a trace of guilt when he kills some innocent people. Although this guilt was so weak that he couldn't even notice it himself, it was real and deeply buried in his heart.
And this means is to draw out the guilt in his heart and then integrate into the cage. That is to say, the stronger the guilt in his heart, the tougher the cage will be. It is also because of this that Zhou Feng, who is murderous, will encounter the extremely tough prison, while Zeng Yurou, who is pure-minded, broke through the cage surrounding him and passed the first test with just one blow.
Other people are the same as Zhou Feng. The guilt in their hearts has forged the cage in front of them. If they can't overcome the "heart demon" in their hearts, no matter how strong their fighting power is, it will be difficult to break the shackles of their hearts and regain their freedom.
"Huh..."
Thinking of this, Zhou Feng took a long breath again, then closed his eyes and sat on the ground cross-legged.
To be honest, although the cage in front of him is extremely strong, he may not be able to break the cage by all means. After all, he not only has the power to break all the isolation, but also has an almost omnipotent main god system as an auxiliary. However, at this moment, he would rather stay here for a little more time and overcome his "heart demon" than regain his freedom with external power.
After all, it is their own hearts that trap them, not their external forces. Even if he can use external force to free his body, his heart will always be entangled by this negative emotion, which is rarely detached. And for a strong man, without a truly free heart, he can't reach the highest point in any case.
And when others saw Zhou Feng's movements, they also understood it one after another. They sat down cross-legged like Zhou Feng and fell into meditation.
A battle about freedom of the heart has finally begun!
