Beast Throne

Chapter 1 Miserable

A certain desert hinterland in the northwest.

Since there are historical records here, it has been an endless desert. Except for the yellow sand all over the sky and the raging wind, there is no life here.But at this time, a young man was trekking hard in the desert against the wind and sand.

"Damn, why haven't we arrived yet?" The man was driving while looking at the indicator in his hand. The instrument was positioned by satellite. One of the active red dots represented himself, and the other green dot was his destination.

The man's name is Wu Tong, and he is one of the top scientists in China, specializing in nuclear power.After graduating from university, he was directly recruited by the Ministry of Defense into the country's most secret nuclear bomb research department.During the nuclear test a year ago, Wu Tong discovered a strange thing.There should be no life in this desert, but when the nuclear bomb exploded, the life detector suddenly showed signs of life appearing in the center of the explosion, and then disappeared from the instrument.

Wu Tong's colleagues naturally didn't believe it, or maybe it was just a problem with the life detector, but Wu Tong didn't think so. The person who made the life detector was also his friend. There couldn't be a problem. Life suddenly appeared, but suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons.After that, Wu Tong consulted a large number of classics and unofficial historical records, and finally came to a conclusion that this desert was not always a barren land. In ancient times, it was once the habitat of some kind of creature. The evolution of the dragon eventually became the mythical beast in people's legends - Phoenix.

This speculation makes Wu Tong's heart restless. Scientific research is only his job, and his real interest is all kinds of myths and legends. It is precisely to enter the state secret department to access all kinds of confidential documents that have been blocked. , and now, he finally waited for the opportunity.

Just do what he said, Wu Tong resigned from his job in the Ministry of National Defense regardless of the leader's persuasion, spent a year making a set of protective clothing and instruments, and stepped into this barren land.

Seeing the green dot getting closer and closer on the instrument, Wu Tong began to feel uncontrollable excitement. "I can find it, I can find it." Wu Tong kept shouting to cheer himself up.Today is already the fifth day he has entered the desert. According to the plan, if there is no harvest today, he must return, because the fuel is insufficient.However, according to the instructions on the instrument, the place where the signs of life appeared should be in front.

After driving for about an hour, Wu Tong suddenly stepped on the brake, and when he arrived, he really found it.Not far ahead, in the middle of the desert, there is a book standing.Wu Tong could hardly believe that there was a tree in this vast desert, and it was a tall tree full of branches and leaves, which was already a miracle in itself.

Wu Tong got out of the car and walked under the tree, hugging the tree with trembling hands.There was incredible energy in this tree, and this was his first reaction.The leaves of this tree are not green, but golden like the sun, and the trunk feels warm to the touch, as if it is burning inside.

"Is it? Why?" Wu Tong was thinking. According to his speculation, this is the birthplace of the Phoenix, but why is there a tree?Suddenly, Wu Tong thought of an allusion - Fengqi Wutong.

"Could it be so?" Wu Tong thought of a possibility. People say that the phoenix rests on the phoenix tree. Of course, the phoenix refers to the phoenix, but the sycamore tree is not the sycamore tree on the side of the road.Since the phoenix is ​​a legendary beast, why can't the sycamore tree be another kind of sacred tree? This strange tree in front of me should be the real sycamore tree.

"It's really destined." Wu Tong smiled. He is an orphan, but he is a happy orphan. The director of the small orphanage is a very kind old man. He used all kinds of trees to kill the nameless children. name.When I arrived in Wutong, I happened to use the name of the sycamore tree, and later changed it to Wutong for the convenience of integrating into society.Could this be the guidance from the heavens, guiding him, Wu Tong, to discover the real Wutong?

But just as Wu Tong returned to the car and took out his camera to take pictures, a small black spot appeared in the sky above the land where he was.Wu Tong looked up reflexively, and the camera in his hand suddenly slipped.

He is too familiar with this thing. He participated in the experimental launch of this thing at this time last year. That's right, this is a nuclear bomb, a nuclear bomb that is about to explode!
Wu Tong's mind went blank, and he ran towards the sycamore tree.He doesn't regret it, what is the meaning of life is an unanswered question, but Wu Tong found this sycamore tree, the legendary phoenix's habitat tree, he felt that it was enough, and his life was satisfied.Now even if it is reduced to ashes, he will not regret it.

"Boom!" A terrifying mushroom cloud rose, and after the smoke and dust fell, the desert returned to calm, leaving nothing at the center of the explosion.

His head hurt so much, Wu Tong opened his eyes.It was pitch black all around, and he seemed to be in a very small space.Wu Tong felt it. It was a place about two feet wide and less than one foot high. It was probably made of some kind of wood. The space was filled with fragrance, as if there were a lot of spices in it.

"Damn it, what kind of place is this? Shouldn't I be blown to ashes by a nuclear bomb?" Wu Tong pushed up, trying to figure out where he was?Suddenly, Wu Tong trembled, and a lot of information flooded into his mind.

Transmigrated, actually transmigrated!
The extra information in his mind told Wu Tong that the owner of this body was called Su Yu, who was the fourth prince of the Tianyang Empire on the origin continent, but he was an insignificant figure.Because Su Yu's mother is not a noble lady, but a small court lady, Su Yu is just the product of emperor Suborai's drunken sex, and the royal family of Tianyang Empire does not recognize Su Yu's status as a prince at all.

The most frustrating thing is that Su Yu can't practice. When he was 12 years old, he took a medicine called Jueyuan Pill by mistake, and has been disabled since then. But why did the very difficult-to-refined Jueyuan Pill appear in the harem? There is no way to verify it.After that, Su Yu hid. He knew that someone was unwilling to let him grow up smoothly, and he was powerless to resist. He just wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace.

But Su Yu ignored his mother. A mother would often do unexpected things for her children.Not long ago, it was Su Yu's 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. Su Yu's always weak mother broke into the meeting hall of Emperor Suborai, begging Su Lai to host the coming-of-age ceremony for Su Yu and give Su Yu the status of a prince.

But the face-saving Su Bolai was furious, and ordered thirty punishments on the spot.Su Yu's mother's thin body couldn't bear this kind of torture at all. When Su Yu arrived, she only saw bright red blood and her dying mother.

Su Yu's mother looked at her son with eyes full of love, pain, despair and encouragement, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, and died forever.

Su Yu went crazy, and after a month of madness, he finally collapsed in his room and followed his mother.

Wu Tong wiped the corners of his eyes. After occupying this body, his memory and Su Yu's memory overlapped, and they were no longer separated from each other. Su Yu's experience was Wu Tong's experience. The eyes of Su Yu's mother before she died were deeply shocked. Wu Tong.

"Hey, brother, you can go at ease. Since I occupy your body, I will definitely avenge you." Wu Tong swore secretly, but a voice came in from outside the dark space, interrupting Wu Tong thoughts.Wu Tong tried his best to put his ear on the wooden board. It seemed that someone was saying something. It took Wu Tong a while to get used to the unfamiliar language before he could hear it clearly.

"Great God of Light, please appease this poor child's soul. Rest in peace, Amen."

Rest in peace, rest in what?Who shall rest in peace?Wu Tong was confused.At this time, another rough voice came in: "Hey, poor, I'm only 16 years old. Brothers, help me and send His Highness the last journey. Don't forget to collect the ashes later, and take them to Modo town."

"Captain, why aren't you buried in the imperial tomb." Another voice asked.

"What do you care about so much, Modo Town is the hometown of His Highness's mother. If it's me... if it's me, I'd like to go back too."

Wait, small and confined space, spices, last journey, ashes, returning to hometown, rest in peace, these are connected.

"Damn it!" Wu Tong finally realized that this place turned out to be a coffin.Su Yu died, of course he had to be put into the coffin, and the cremation should start now.

"Hey, hey, wait, I'm still alive, let me go out, man, I'm not dead yet..." Wu Tong frantically knocked on the wooden board, but I don't know what kind of wood this heavy wooden board is made of. Excellent.No matter how wild Wu Tong was inside, the people outside didn't feel it.

The familiar heat wave invaded again, and the fiery flames instantly submerged the coffin. "Double killing in one day, can anyone be more miserable than me!" Wu Tong's shout came from the raging fire.

But at this moment, the flame that should have been gradually extinguished became more and more intense, and the flame also changed from orange to blood red, and then turned into a dazzling golden yellow like the sun, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, even the flames specially used for incineration The steel furnaces in which the ashes were collected from the bodies also began to melt.The guards around were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what was going on.They were supposed to stay here until the burning was over, but the scorching air was too much for them to bear.

"What are you waiting for, run away." The captain of the guard felt that the iron armor on his body was about to melt, and finally gave an order, and escaped first, followed by other guards.

The captain's order was correct. Not long after they escaped, a violent explosion occurred at the place where the coffin was located.Later, according to the surviving guards, the scene turned into a sea of ​​flames, and a hideous mushroom cloud that no one had ever seen rose in the sky, and the entire burning site was turned into ashes.
