First of all, let's sort out the cultivation of the original body, and by the way, familiarize yourself with the cultivation system of this world.

The cultivators of this world can be mainly divided into two categories: martial artists and spiritual masters.

Relatively speaking, the spiritual mind master has a clear advantage over the martial artist in the early stage, and can use the mental power to use the mental power weapon to fly or attack from afar, which is somewhat similar to the refining air flow of the reckless world, but it is more extreme.

It's just that if you want to become a spiritual master, you must first have a strong mental power and reach a certain standard.

This threshold directly cut off the hope of the vast majority of people to become spiritual teachers.

In contrast, the threshold for a martial artist is relatively low, as long as the physical condition is good, no matter how hard you can exercise, you have the possibility of becoming a martial artist.

Of course, this is only a possibility.

In fact, those who can really become warriors are all people who are one in a thousand, or even one in a thousand.

And the martial arts in this world are different from the martial arts that Zhou Tong has been exposed to before, they do not cultivate internal strength, do not cultivate true qi, and cultivate a kind of power called genetic origin.

The so-called gene energy is actually to absorb the energy of the universe to temper its own cells, optimize genes, and obtain more powerful power, which is somewhat similar to the external skills that Zhou Tong practiced before.

The original Chen Gu was already a junior general, so it was naturally impossible not to have his own genetic origin cultivation method.

But if it is Zhou Tong, the original exercises will not be looked down upon.

So Zhou Tong made a slight change to the 'Nine Turns Golden Body Technique' he created in the Star Transformation World according to the martial arts system here, and he quickly got started.

The original 'Nine Turns Golden Body Formula' exercise has a total of nine turns, one turn to the third turn is the acquired realm, the fourth turn to the sixth turn is the innate realm, and the seventh turn to the ninth turn is the realm of Jindan.

The revised 'Nine Turns Golden Body Technique' is based on his current junior battle general level.

The first to third turns are the level of the war general, the fourth to the sixth turn is the god of war level, and the seventh to ninth turn is the planetary realm, which is the level of the councillor above the god of war on the earth today.

With Zhou Tong's cultivation as his vision, the cultivation of the realm of war generals is naturally not a matter at all.

Stayed at home for about a month.

Zhou Tong raised his level up by one level, practiced the nine-turn method into the second turn, and reached the intermediate level of the general, and then he was out of the customs.

Although he has the cultivation realm of the deity, not to mention the mere intermediate generals, even if it is a planet, a star, or even a cosmic level, it is not more than in his eyes.

It can be said that until he reaches the cultivation realm of the Buddha-figure, he will not have any bottlenecks in his cultivation.

There is no bottleneck, but it does not mean that he can continue to improve.

After all, any cultivation method requires energy accumulation, especially an ascetic method like martial arts, which needs to be tempered over many years.

Even if there are no obstacles in realm perception, the body and energy supply must also keep up.

Remembering Gao Feng, who had contacted him before, Zhou Tong called him with a communication.

"Lao Chen, are you done with the retreat?"

As soon as the communication was connected, Gao Feng's rough voice sounded in the communication watch: "How is it, is there a breakthrough?" ”

Zhou Tong smiled lightly: "It's okay, I've been promoted by one level." ”

"Damn, you're really promoted?"

Gao Feng on the other end of the communication couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Tong carefully with a pair of eyes wide.

He didn't suspect that Zhou Tong was lying to him.

After all, everyone is a team, and in the future, they will have to fight side by side, hunting monsters together, and the strength can't be hidden at all, so there is no point in telling this kind of lie.

He thought that Zhou Tong was just talking, but he didn't expect to be promoted!

"Aren't you on my level now?"

Gao Feng asked.

He turned out to be an intermediate-level general, one level higher than Chen Gu, and now that Chen Gu wants to break through again, won't he be on the same level as him?

"Hmm."

Zhou Tong nodded, and then without waiting for Gao Feng to ask again, he preemptively said: "Old Gao, didn't you say before that the Wei family brothers got the news that there was a lone D-class monster Agni Bull in the county-level city of No. 0101?" ”

"Is the beast still there? Has anyone else picked it up? If he's still there, we'll go and get his vote. ”

"It should still be there, you also know that in our Yangzhou City, there are not many martial arts teams that can clean up D-class monsters, and there are not many people who know this news, so it is not so easy to be the first to be taken."

Gao Feng hesitated a little: "It's just that you've just been promoted, don't you need to get familiar with the strength first?" ”

"I don't need to."

Zhou Tong waved his hand: "I'm not an inexperienced rookie, and I'm slow to get familiar with it at home, so I will naturally get familiar with it after two battles in the wilderness." ”

"Okay then."

Gao Feng nodded and said, "Looking back at you Zhang Ke, I will inform the Wei family brothers, everyone is ready to prepare, medicines and weapons are ready, the day after tomorrow, we will meet in the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, and then we will set off together for the wilderness area." ”

"Okay." Zhou Tong nodded.

Hanging up the communication, Zhou Tong exhaled lightly, and a trace of expectation surged in his heart.

As I said before, although he does not lack realm understanding, but due to the current physical conditions, it is not possible to greatly improve his strength overnight.

If you want to improve as soon as possible, the most convenient way is to pick up a few more corpses of the strong.

Or hunt more monsters and make money to exchange resources as soon as possible.

But either way, it's not something that can be done in the base city, and you still have to run more to the wilderness area.

Moreover, after this month, he has already become familiar with the current vest, and he no longer has to worry about being seen by acquaintances.

…………

Two days later, the Fire Hammer team gathered at the Extreme Martial Arts Gym.

Zhou Tong also saw several of his teammates for the first time.

'Double Wind Hammer' Gao Feng, 'Double Moon Scimitar' Wei Tie, Wei Qing two brothers, and Iron Gun Zhang Ke.

Among them, the 'Double Wind Hammer' Gao Feng is the same as he is now, he is a mid-level general.

And the Wei brothers and the iron spear Zhang Ke are weaker, and they are only high-level fighters.

"Brother Chen, we're here."

Seeing Zhou Tong walking in from the outside, the iron gun Zhang Ke was the first to stand up and greet him.

The Shuangyue scimitar Wei family brother next to him just sat in his seat and shouted: "Brother Chen", even if he said hello, compared to Zhang Kelai, the intimacy was obviously a little worse.

Even if they are on the same team, there are actually differences between relatives and distances.

The iron gun Zhang Ke was recruited by Chen Gu's predecessor into the fire hammer team, so he became closer to Chen Gu.

And the 'Double Moon Scimitar' Wei family brothers were personally recruited by Gao Feng into the team, so they got closer to Gao Feng.

For Chen Gu, the vice captain, it is a little meaningless.

"Lao Chen, you actually really made the cut?"

Gao Feng strode forward, carefully sensed Zhou Tong's breath, and found that he was already at the level of an intermediate general, and he was not inferior to him in the slightest.

At this moment, the only doubt left in my heart was completely dissipated.

"What?"

The Wei brothers and Zhang Ke were both shocked, and looked at Zhou Tong with a surprised expression.

"Brother Chen, are you ............ Qualified? ”

Wei Tie, the eldest of the Wei brothers, asked in disbelief.

In fact, there has always been an invisible chain of contempt in the martial arts circle: the warriors who use cold weapons generally look down on the warriors who use hot weapons.

After all, cold weapon warriors are all about charging ahead, real swords and guns and all kinds of monsters hand-to-hand combat.

Unless the situation is critical and urgent, the hot weapon warrior is generally only responsible for hiding behind the team and putting the cold gun down, needless to say, which of the two is more difficult and dangerous.

Limited by the current level of technological development, a single thermal weapon can cause damage to monsters at the level of junior beast generals at most.

Higher-level monsters are either too fast or too strong in defense, and it is difficult to pose a deadly threat to them with thermal weapons alone, which has become the ceiling for thermal weapon warriors.

After all, the combat effectiveness of a thermoweapon warrior is mainly determined by the power of the firearm.

As far as the current level of firearms development is concerned, thermal weapon warriors generally reach the level of junior generals, and it is difficult to enter the country.

It is precisely for these reasons that the cold weapon warriors more or less look down on the hot weapon warriors in their hearts.

Even some arrogant warrior-level cold weapon warriors dare not take general-level hot weapon warriors seriously.

I always feel that even if you are better than me now, I can still continue to improve, but you can only stand still, and sooner or later I will overtake you.

The root cause is that the path of the hot weapon warrior is too narrow.

How can a person without a future be afraid?

Like the Wei family brothers, they were not very respectful to Chen Gu, the vice captain, on the one hand, it was certainly due to the influence of the favored faction.

But he didn't look down on the hot weapon warriors, and felt that his brother had more future factors than Chen Gu.

But now Chen Gu has actually broken through?

How is this possible!

Can a hot weapon warrior at the junior general level still advance? In the end, are you a cold weapon warrior, or are we cold weapon warriors!

"Brother Chen, congratulations!"

Iron gun Zhang Ke was the first to open his mouth to congratulate.

I was sincerely happy, after all, whether in the Yangzhou martial arts circle or within the Fire Hammer Squad, he was the same as Chen Gu.

The more Chen Gu is bullish, he is naturally honored.

"Congratulations Brother Chen! Congratulations to Brother Chen for the promotion. ”

The two brothers, Wei Tie and Wei Qing, also reacted and followed to congratulate.

Although Zhou Tong's breakthrough shocked them a little and their feelings were a little complicated, they were still more happy overall.

How to say that each other is also teammates who were born and died together.

The stronger Chen Gu's strength is, the stronger the strength of the entire team, and the safer and more secure it will be to go out on missions in the future.

"Brother Chen, why didn't you tell everyone earlier that such a big happy event, we should celebrate, now that you are going to the wilderness area, you let everyone know that this shouldn't be."

"It's just a small improvement, what is there to say?"

Zhou Tong waved his hand disappreciatively: "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Gao Feng: "............"

Wei Tie: "............"

Wei Qing: "............"

Chen Ke: "............"

Why didn't you find out that you were so capable of pretending to be forced before?

Beginner generals to intermediate generals, this is still called a small progress, so what is a big progress? Progressed from Warlord to Wargod?

In fact, Zhou Tong is really not pretending, what he says is true.

He is a half-step world god, and the projection descends on an avatar who has just stepped into the threshold of transcendence, isn't it normal to cultivate to advance? What is there to say?

It's a pity that no one believes it.

"Okay, Lao Chen, it's not too late for us to go to the wilderness to hunt and kill that beast, and come back to celebrate together after making money."

In the end, Gao Feng spoke, not wanting to continue this choking topic, so he changed the conversation: "Check the equipment now to see if there is anything missing, and if not, we will set off in a while." ”

"Nope."

"It's all set."

The Wei brothers and Zhang Ke replied one after another.

They don't want to dwell on it anymore.

Gao Feng is also an intermediate general, but he just feels a little choked, and these of them are a little blocked when they are not even generals.

"I'm all set, too."

Seeing a few people looking at him, Zhou Tong smiled slightly.

Gao Feng waved his hand: "Since this is the case, then let's go!" ”

"Let's go!"

At that moment, the Fire Hammer Team left the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, took a car directly to the train station, and then boarded a special train to the wilderness area.

In the sound of "booming" track friction, the heavy armored army train drove out of the station like a giant dragon, speeding out towards the outside of the base city, and soon drove out of the base city.

The scene was suddenly very different.

From time to time, hideous-looking birds and monsters can be seen flying in the sky.

The ground is also full of all kinds of monsters running in the wilderness.

Many monsters roared and attacked the speeding military column as if they had seen an enemy who did not share the sky.

However, they were all resisted by the thick armor wrapped around the outside of the military column, and their heads were broken and bleeding, only to make a futile "bang" crash.

The slight vibration caused by these ferocious impacts could be clearly felt even by Zhou Tong and others in the carriage.

You can see its madness.

It is no wonder that the vast majority of human beings are now trapped in cities, and only a few transcendent warriors dare to enter the wilderness.

In the face of the steel monsters that ran at full speed like the armored columns, these monsters still pounced on them so frantically. Even if he hit his head and bleed, and suffered heavy casualties, he still went forward.

It's like a dead man.

It's still the same for such an iron lump as an armored military column, let alone a person.

In such a sinister environment, ordinary people are afraid that as soon as they come out, they will be swallowed by monsters and there are no bones left.

However, the warriors who dare to go to the wilderness to hunt monsters are all veteran birds who have been in battle for a long time, and most of them have closed their eyes to recuperate and accumulate energy for the next trip to the wilderness.

From the day they became warriors, confrontation and fighting with monsters have become the mainstream of their lives.

Or step on the bones of monsters to become famous, and continue to climb towards the peak of martial arts.

Or die under the minions of these monsters, and lay dead in the wilderness.

This is the fate of warriors, and they are all used to it.

Only Zhou Tong looked out with interest, which was quite new to him.

These monsters are not in his eyes though.

But under the effect of evolutionary mutation, many new species were indeed born among these monsters, which he had never seen in his previous life or present life, and it was good to see how fresh they were.

…………

Wilderness area.

This is the general term for the land area outside of the base city in the human world today.

For the humans living in Base City, the Wilderness Zone is synonymous with a dead zone, filled with all kinds of monsters, from insidious and cunning to savage and rampant............

Even the weakest monster is not something that ordinary people can compete with.

Therefore, the wilderness area has become a forbidden place for ordinary people, and only warriors dare to break into it and fight all kinds of monsters.

Of course, it is not absolute.

At least the military has built a lot of military bases around the major base cities and sent a large number of troops to station.

Jin can be used as an advance base to clear out monsters, retreat can be used as a lookout post and beacon tower in the base city, and if necessary, you can also rely on these military bases to form a peripheral defense line against monsters.

Hundreds of miles east of Jiangnan Base City, there is such a military base.

"Boom~~"

The train came to a slow stop in front of the military base.

One by one, heavily armed warriors stepped off the train.

Zhou Tong looked up.

I saw that this military base was surrounded by high-walled pillboxes and layers of barbed wire, and countless heavy firepower was erected in between, obviously to guard against monsters.

Inside the military base, there is a separate area, and there is a high-speed iron tower with a height of fifty or sixty meters, which is the supply base that the military has divided for these free warriors.

After all, no matter how powerful a warrior is, he is also a human being, and it is impossible to stay awake, and in addition to fighting monsters, he also needs a place to repair and replenish.

And every warrior supply base usually builds such a lighthouse, which means that the warriors in the wilderness will light the way home.

Zhou Tong and the others rested at the supply base for a long time, and in the evening, the heavily armed fire hammer team left the supply base and entered the wilderness area.

This entry into the wilderness area, the gap between the hot weapon and the cold weapon warrior can be seen.

They are all fully armed, but Gao Feng and they are basically solved by adding a tactical backpack in addition to their personal weapons.

Only Zhou Tong carried two and a half people-high iron boxes.

One of them was armed with a heavy machine gun and a corresponding large amount of ammunition, and the other was equipped with a heavy sniper rifle.

As the only thermally armed warrior in the Fire Hammer Squad.

Chen Gu used to be in the Fire Hammer Squad to ensure the team's firepower output, and when necessary, he also had to be able to provide accurate strikes, so every time he went out to hunt in the wilderness, he had to carry two guns.

And this time, he not only carried two iron boxes, but also carried an extra broad-bladed heavy sword.

At this time, he regretted that he didn't bring his space magic weapon over, otherwise it would have saved trouble, and he wouldn't have to carry a big bag of things like now, like a snail carrying a house.

"Brother Chen, are you really going to change to cold weapons?"

After seeing the broad-bladed heavy sword on Zhou Tong's back, Wei Tie couldn't help but speak: "Thunder heavy sword, even if you subscribe for it inside the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, it will cost tens of millions, right?" You said you bought it? Really willing! ”

"If you are willing to give up, you can only get if you are willing to give."

Zhou Tong smiled half-truthfully: "Do you think my promotion this time is a fake?" To tell you the truth, my current swordsmanship is even more powerful than marksmanship. ”

"Cut!"

Several people pouted together with great tacit understanding.

I'm afraid you haven't used cold weapons to play with people for more than ten years, right? Now you're telling me that swordsmanship is better than marksmanship?

It's okay to make up a lie, if you make up a dot too!

Alas————

Zhou Tong sighed helplessly, when he told the truth, why didn't anyone believe it?

He has only been playing with a gun for more than ten years, but he has been practicing his sword for hundreds of years.

Which is better or worse?

Gao Feng shook his head and stretched out his hand in front of Zhou Tong: "Old Chen, give me one of your weapon boxes." ”

Entering the wilderness area to hunt monsters, it is normal to even bring them back and forth for hundreds or thousands of miles.

A heavy machine gun plus bullets is a weight of several hundred catties, plus the heavy sniper bullets that must be brought every time, as well as some other equipment such as high-explosive grenades, Chen Gu almost carries a weight of nearly 1,000 catties every time he goes out on a mission, which is really not something that ordinary people can carry.

So in order to ensure Chen Gu's combat effectiveness, Gao Feng would take the initiative to help share part of it every time, and this time it was the same.

"Lao Gao, then I'll trouble you."

Zhou Tong was not polite, and directly handed the one that was obviously one size larger in the two iron boxes and loaded with heavy machine guns to Gao Feng.

Although with his current mid-level general's physique, carrying a weight of 1,800 catties is nothing, even if it is a long-distance armed off-road.

But if someone asks for help, it's hard for him to refuse, right?

Good labor doesn't have to be in vain.

"Lao Chen, why is your gun heavier than before?"

Taking the box and carrying it on his back, Gao Feng couldn't help but smile slightly, and then frowned and asked.

It's not the first time he's helped Chen Gu carry a weapon box, and he's already familiar with it.

Whether this amount is right or not, you will know it immediately when you put it on your back.

"Haha, didn't I break through, I felt that the original gun was a little out of hand, so I changed to a machine gun with more firepower."

"What is ............?"

Gao Feng just wanted to ask, but suddenly heard Wei Qing, who was exploring the path in front of him, exclaim: "Come and see!" ”

"What's wrong?"

Gao Feng and the others were all taken aback, and hurriedly hurried over.

Walking along the dilapidated road under your feet, turning a corner, a tragic scene unfolded in front of everyone in the next moment.

I saw seven or eight corpses lying on the pavement of the dilapidated abandoned road, and it seemed that they were also warriors who had come to hunt in the wilderness area, but they died here.

In fact, if it was just a dead person, there would be nothing to make a fuss about.

After all, when a warrior came to the wilderness, he was originally engaged in the trade of licking blood with a knife, and he tied his head to the waistband of his trousers, and life and death were ordinary.

It is not uncommon to be hunted if you can't hunt, and it's not uncommon to be killed by monsters.

The key is the death of these people............

Some of these people have different heads, some have been beaten into sieves all over their bodies, and some have obvious fist-shaped depressions on their bodies.

Around the remains of these corpses, there are also a large number of craters and slash marks of swords.

Obviously, these did not die from monster attacks, but at the hands of humans themselves!

And these people have not been dead for long.

Otherwise, these corpses would have gone into the monster's belly, and they wouldn't have seen them.
