Destiny is ashes

Chapter 604 Qu Tong (15)

Deep in the fortress area.

The most advanced Tianji armor was covered with ash and dried blood, making the silver process carapace look mottled and rusty. Qu Yong wiped its joints with a wet rag, gently as if treating a daughter who died early, to prevent it from getting stuck in the battle later.

"head."

There was a burst of hurried footsteps, and the door opened. A man with an eye missing and half of his head dented spoke with an iron skull on top of an iron sheet: "We have received an order from above to capture a man alive. It's a kid. We have to set off now."

"I know."

Qu Tong didn't even raise his eyelids. He was concentrating on wiping the Tianji armor that was stained with too much blood. His messy hair and beard made him look like a savage, a tramp, a beggar and a madman, but not a cultivator, not a cultivator who could control the Tianji armor and had achieved great success in his cultivation.

Tie Skull hadn't left yet. Although he had lost half of his head, he was still the smartest person under Qu Tong. He said impatiently, "Boss, don't be perfunctory. The enemy team can even kill that automatic puppet. We must go all out."

"We have bombs in our heads. If you don't obey, you will die! Hurry up and leave, otherwise we will all die!"

Tie Skull had never respected him because he was a formation master. Although Qu Tong was the most advanced cultivator in this group of robbers, he joined the group halfway. He was a celestial cultivator who would consume the most resources in the group. Without the protection of a formation master, he would not survive for half a year.

Of course, during these six months, he had enough time to kill everyone, and the gang was also afraid that he would become possessed and crazy, so they made him the leader, and the group lived together in this way with a superficial harmony but a spiritual disharmony.

But the life of the people in the wilderness is never long-lasting, let alone the robbery cultivators.

A few months ago, a group of people came from nowhere and captured them all like an eagle catching chicks. At the same time, several other robbery gangs in the surrounding area were also captured. When a group of old acquaintances looked at each other in silence, a three-meter-tall immortal monk appeared and forcefully installed soul chips and soul curses on all of them. A single thought could corrode the soul and explode the brain, making them unable to be reborn forever.

Next, this group of mysterious people assigned them a series of tasks and gave them unprecedentedly good equipment, including Tianji armor, military weapons, heavy sword boxes, various missiles, rockets and self-propelled weapons. They, a group of lowly villains who lived in the stinking ditches in the wilderness, instantly became the people with the strongest military force in the surrounding wilderness.

But after all, it's just a stray dog.

Qu Tong still remembers his joy when he got the Tianji Armor, which was the thing he had been seeking for so long but could not get. But soon, he found out that these things did not belong to him. To those mysterious forces, the lives of these people were nothing more than their property. They would only spend the effort to arm them in order to achieve their goals.

In the past few months, they have been blocking all teams traveling to and from the vicinity of Beihu Lake. As the teams they attacked became more and more sophisticated and powerful, Qu Tong's heart grew colder.

——There is no one who can survive after offending so many forces, and the same goes for the forces.

They are going to be abandoned, or rather, they are destined to die, it is just a matter of sooner or later.

But he didn't want to die.

I especially don't want to die under their control.

Even if he died, Qu Tong only wanted to die under his own will. That mysterious big force, those [people in the city]...

They had once again taken his soul.

While wiping the Tianji Armor, Qu Tong recalled that sixteen years ago, he defeated his uncle at a tribal ceremony. At that time, he was only fourteen years old, but he had already reached the third level of Qi training and was proficient in magic. The elders were no match for him.

Geniuses can also emerge in the wilderness, and Qu Tong is one of them. He has been smart since he was young, and he can draw inferences from what he has learned. He feels happy when he sees the magic. Those runes and numbers that other people need to patiently force themselves to read, he feels extremely sweet when reading them. Unraveling a puzzled idea is a hundred times more refreshing than making love.

"Let's go to the city."

The relationships among the small tribes are very close. Qu Tong's brothers admire and worship him, and his uncles and parents are looking forward to him. The wilderness really needs a genius to lead the tribe to survive, but they are greedy and selfless. They hope that Qu Tong will grow up and become a high-level Qi Refining master, reach the peak, or even become a Foundation Establishment monk.

Then... they will no longer be a tribe, but can build towns, or make some achievements, give up some freedoms, and become residents of the safe zone.

Qu Tong didn't have any big ambitions. He just wanted to stay in the tribe, become the leader of the tribe, lead everyone to live a good life, plant more fields, raise more chickens and catch more fish, and just live his life like this.

But his uncle and father advised him not to do so.

"With your ability, you should go to the city."

They advised earnestly: "I know your qualifications may not be considered important in the city, but even if you learn a little bit and come back, it will be a great thing for our tribe. If we can build some connections in the city in the future, it will be of great benefit. Just like the Kuteng Village next door, we can sell the bitter cold vines we raise to the city every year. That is a stable income, which can support more monks and purchase more weapons."

Qu Tong was convinced.

So he came to the safe zone with the expectations of the entire tribe, and went to Xuanye City, where he studied hard and worked hard, and studied quietly in the metropolis with bright lights and colorful neon lights.

Because he had no household registration, he could not really become a student of a certain college, but even those audited courses, those extracurricular tutoring classes, and those free public knowledge were enough for Qu Tong to stand out. He eventually joined a wilderness exploration company and with their support broke through the high-level Qi Refining level.

But he was still too young, too...stupid.

With the support of the company, Qu Tong became a transcendent monk - although his transcendence rate was less than 15%, he had indeed embarked on this path.

But it was not until then that he realized that becoming a transcendent monk meant being completely controlled by the company.

The meridians and flesh of the Evergreen Wood are combined into one. The oldest ancestor of this spiritual plant is even the [Sky-Qingjianmu] at the source of the Dao Court in the oldest and most long-standing legend before the Tianyuan Realm was opened up. It has infinite potential and can grow with people. Even if one loses his body, he can be reborn as long as a new body is forged with Evergreen Wood and spiritual iron.

According to legend, there was a guardian deity in the Dao Court. Due to various reasons, he gave up his original body and the body was rebuilt by the Heavenly Venerable using lotus roots. This is the source of inspiration for the current Yuhua Dao.
