Douluo Heavens Upgrade

A vast cosmic plane, within the plane of Confucianism and Taoism

Shengyuan Continent, the border land of Wu Kingdom

During the Qingming Festival, weeds have long grown on the ancient roads, and a gentle breeze brings a faint smell of blood.

Among the weeds not far away, the remaining rain washed the ground. A group of people gathered together nervously, and on the ground among them, a handsome-looking young man was lying on the ground.

"Mumu, wake up, wake up quickly!"

The boy looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, his body was very thin, and there was a wound on his abdomen. Even after a simple bandage, there was still a trace of blood oozing out.

Beside the young man and others, there was also a corpse lying on the ground.

But the corpse was not a human being, but a wolf monster.

There were broken trees, branches and leaves all around, as well as traces of the battle on the ground.

Obviously, a fierce battle took place here before.

"Boss, what should we do? We can't just watch the wood die."

Among the people surrounding the young man, the leader was a burly man with a solemn and solemn look on his face.

It seemed that he had been hesitating and struggling for a long time in his eyes, and finally made up his mind.

"Let's go and send the wood back to the pass."

The burly man made up his mind, even if he would face jail if he went back this time, he would have no regrets.

"Ok?"

With a gentle murmur, the young man beneath him opened his eyes, and the energy and blood on his face recovered somewhat.

"The wood is awake, awake."

"Boss, Mu Mu is awake."

"........."

The group of people breathed a sigh of relief, and the seriousness and solemnity they had just now receded a bit.

"What's wrong with me?"

There was no light in his eyes, and he stared blankly at the people in front of him. Memories that seemed to have been sleeping for a long time flooded into his mind.

His name is Chen Mu, and he is an ordinary soldier on the border of Wu Kingdom. Because he was responsible for peripheral reconnaissance and security, he was injured when he encountered a wolf demon.

"Boss."

After taking a look at the burly man in front of him, Chen Mu said softly, and at the same time slowly stood up from the ground.

The man on the side quickly took action and supported Chen Mu.

"You kid, you're not dead yet, okay!"

He patted Chen Mu on the shoulder. The huge force caused Chen Mu's small body to shake, which involved the wound on his abdomen.

Glancing down, he saw that the hideous wound was still oozing with traces of blood, and Chen Mu gritted his teeth in pain.

"Can you still resist?"

Seeing Chen Mu's painful expression, the big man was a little worried.

"Boss, don't worry, you won't die."

He endured the pain and grinned. He had been through a lot. It was just an injury like this. He could bear it.

"Well, okay, monkey, take care of the body and let's go back."

After taking a look around, he gave an order. The burly man supported Chen Mu, and the group headed toward the depths of the weeds.

In a place where weeds are overgrown, a simple temporary residence has long been cleared in the grass that is as tall as a person.

There were no simple tents, only simple traces of fires, and some water storage equipment and sundries.

Chen Mu glanced at it, and a familiar feeling came to his heart.

He and others are just spies on the outer border of Wu Kingdom, and they are responsible for investigating the areas outside the border.

The danger involved is self-evident.

The group of people cleaned up briefly, and soon, a man named Monkey came back from the nearby weeds.

Although the man is called a monkey, he is not as skinny as Chen Mu. On the contrary, the man is tall and his strength is only lower than that of a big man.

Just because the man acts calmly, thinks quickly, and is as shrewd as a monkey, so everyone calls him a monkey.

"Boss, it's taken care of."

The monkey nodded to the burly man and said something.

The body of the wolf demon was not brought back, only a leg of the wolf demon was brought back.

A few people are responsible for peripheral security. They can only go back during a fixed time. The rest of the time, they need to patrol the vast wasteland.

"Take care of this and patch up the wood today."

The big man had a smile on his face. This time he was on guard and encountered a wolf demon. This was a real military achievement, and no one died.

It deserves a good celebration.

Several people not far away were dealing with it, while Chen Mu was lying on the grass, lost in thought.

This familiar scene, the time when he was injured and unconscious, seemed like a dream to him.

He dreamed that he had become a cultivator who could fly across the sky, cut off rivers with his wave of hands, destroy stars with one sword, and shine incomparably.

"Haha, it seems like it's really a dream."

I clenched my fists, and a feeling of weakness came over me. It was incomparable to what I had felt in my dream.

"Here, wood, mend it."

The burly man came over and handed a piece of wolf monster meat in his hand. In the wasteland, although it was dangerous, you could also eat things that were not available in the country.

Chen Mu took it and took a bite. The meat was delicious. After entering the mouth, more life essence poured into his body, slowly recovering Chen Mu's injuries.

This is a strange world, where there are humans, but there are also demons.

Humans and demons are always fighting with each other.

It's just that the mainstream of the battle is not between them, but between the great saints of the demon race and the various schools of thought of the human race.

It is said that the saints in this world can create heaven and earth and crush the void with their palms.

However, Chen Mu had never seen them before, and he didn't know what the difference was between those saints and what he saw in his dreams.

…………

Time flies, and three years fly by.

On the border of Wu Kingdom, rows of elite soldiers wearing black armor escorted carriages. All carriages were magnificent and filled with scholarly atmosphere.

When a group of people arrived at the border gate, the carriage stopped. On top of the leader's carriage, an old man got down. The old man had fair hair and a childish face, and was energetic. He raised his head slightly, looked at the majestic border gate, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Years have passed by, and I never thought I would have the opportunity to come back today."

He murmured in his mouth, and in the carriage behind him, a group of hurried teenagers got off the carriage and walked over.

The teenagers glanced around, their eyes squinting, even more carelessly and disdainfully.

"Tatata..."

The sound of rapid footsteps arrived, and a man wearing dark armor walked over from the border area.

The man walked with a vigorous and steady pace, and his whole body was filled with an intimidating aura.

"Disciple meets teacher!"

The man came straight over and bowed respectfully to the white-haired old man.

"No, get up quickly."

The white-haired old man chuckled, stretched out his hand, and caught the other person's bow.

"You have already become a great scholar, how can you kneel down and worship again?"

The white-haired old man scolded, while the man beside him also laughed.

"Teacher, what's the reason you came here?"

The man straightened his clothes, looked at his teacher in front of him, and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, this is your Majesty's wish. These are recent talents. You can make arrangements for them."

He handed an imperial edict to the man. This was a secret edict, and the man didn't know it beforehand.

After taking a look at the contents of the secret decree, the man felt a chill in his heart.

However, after taking a look at his teacher's calm and composed expression, he also made a decision.

"Come here, arrange your soldiers and escort these people out of the customs."
