During the Dayan Dynasty, the Songyun Mountains were steep and complex.

A team was walking along the mountain path.

The hot sunlight couldn't penetrate through the dense foliage, and the temperature was cool.

"What is the sect doing recently? They just sent more than 20 people back last month, and within a month, they all died!"

"I heard those little guys died miserably!"

"Okay... don't talk so much nonsense, just do whatever the sect wants us to do!"

A few big men in black clothes at the front of the team were talking quietly.

Behind them, there were more than a dozen boys and girls with dirty hair and unkempt faces, numb expressions, and their hands were still in chains.

Taman is one of them.

"All those who were captured are dead?!"

"Sure enough, the house leaked and it rained all night... Even if I was hit by a car in my previous life, I am still so unlucky after time travel, falling directly into the hands of these guys."

Taman sighed silently in his heart.

In his previous life, he encountered an accident and accidentally traveled to a young man in this ancient world.

But as soon as he traveled through time, he fell into the hands of these men in black.

After hearing some news these days, he knew that these men in black should come from a certain sect and specialized in robbing young men and women.

As for why they were taken back to the sect...

Taman didn't know, but it was definitely not a good thing.

"No, we must find a way to escape quickly."

Taman observed the surrounding environment and thought about how to escape.

Once you return to the sect among these people, it will be even more difficult to escape.

"Three people in front...and four more behind...the leader is the most troublesome."

Taman glanced at the figure at the end of the team inadvertently.

It was a tall and thin man in black with a gloomy look.

This man rarely spoke, like a poisonous snake silently spying on Taman and the others.

Taman once saw this man in black chop a calf-sized wild boar into two pieces with one blow.

Snapped!

A slap hit Taman hard on the face.

The right side of his face instantly became red and swollen, with a red handprint clearly visible.

"Boy, if I catch you moving your head around again, I will break your limbs and throw you into the old forest, where you will be bitten to death by wild beasts!"

A scarred man said viciously.

Taman lowered his head silently, not daring to speak.

"Let's go." The leader in black said.

"Did you hear that? Get out of here quickly!"

The scarred man kicked Taman hard again!

He rolled over twice on the ground, with many scratches on his body.

But Taman could only stand up silently and continue walking forward without saying a word.

A dozen boys and girls who had the same fate as Taman were watching all this with numb eyes, as motionless as dead people.

After experiencing a series of tortures, they have long been rendered insensitive, and their hearts are filled with despair, like zombies.

Since they couldn't take the official road, they had to climb the Songyun Mountains, a mountainous area.

At night, the leader in black finally asked the people in front to stop and start setting up camp.

After dark, there are too many poisonous insects and beasts in the forest, which is very dangerous.

Several fires were lit, and Taman and others gathered around, eating extremely hard dry food and swallowing slowly.

The dry food was so stiff that their teeth were so loose that they could only bite off a small piece.

But Taman was still eating.

If they wanted to escape, they must maintain their strength.

The seven or eight ferocious men were drinking and eating meat outside.

"It's a pity that we haven't discovered what the soul fuel is yet..." Taman leaned silently against the cold and rough tree,

Close your eyes.

His soul sank into his own heart.

In Taman's perception, his heart turned into an ancient and mysterious red furnace!

This red furnace is surrounded by nine lifelike fire dragons, and its surface is engraved with many ancient gods and demons with teeth and claws, making it mysterious and vast.

When Taman traveled through time, he found that his heart had become like this.

He also received some mysterious messages in his head and knew what the red furnace was used for.

"The living furnace can forge different parts of the host's body, strengthening and upgrading them!"

But Taman couldn't use this living furnace.

At this moment, an illusory panel appeared in his eyes.

[Host: Taman.]

[Soul Fuel: 0]

Yes, opening the living furnace requires this so-called soul fuel.

But these days in time travel, he has been closely watched. Even if he glances at his surroundings, he will be beaten severely. He has no idea what this soul fuel is.

"Brother ...are you okay?"

A little girl of eight or nine years old with a dirty face came to Taman and asked with some distress.

"Taman, I'm fine." Taman touched the little girl's head.

The little girl, like him, had no idea where she was taken from.

Unlike those teenagers who were tortured to the point of numbness and indifference, Taman found that there was still light in this little girl's eyes.

"Brother, this is the life-saving charm my mother left for me.

It won't hurt so much if you wear it."

Xiao reluctantly took out a yellow talisman but finally put it in Taman's hand.

All the valuable things they had on them had been taken away long ago, which meant that the talisman paper was worthless, so Xiao kept it.

Taman smiled and was about to return the yellow talisman to Xiao, but he was shocked to find out.

This yellow talisman exuded a cool aura, constantly entering his body.

After a while, the cold breath slowly disappeared.

The yellow talisman paper in his hand also turned into fly ash and dissipated.

Taman hurriedly signaled Xiao to be quiet.

"Xiao, you must never talk to anyone about this matter, you know?"

Xiao nodded in understanding.

Taman sank his mind into the living furnace again.

Look at the virtual panel.

[Host: Taman.]

[Soul Fuel: 100]

"I didn't expect that the life-saving charm Xiao gave me actually contains mysterious power, and it can be turned into soul fuel."

Taman became excited.

He began to study how to use this soul fuel.

"I want to upgrade my right hand!"

Taman chose to send out a mental message.

[Ordinary right hand: The right hand of an ordinary person has little strength and little explosive power.]

[Evaluation: Too lazy to evaluate]

[Grade: inferior quality]

[Soul fuel required for exercise upgrade: 10]

[Upgrade?]

Taman chose to upgrade without hesitation!

At this time, he saw that the red furnace seemed to be activated, surging with an ancient mysterious power!

One of the nine surrounding fire dragons also suddenly spurted out a stream of red flames.

Taman felt in a daze that his right hand was undergoing some kind of change!

He returned to reality and shook his fist.

"This kind of power... is even stronger than my previous life!"

In his previous life, Taman was a famous boxer, proficient in fighting skills, and the power of a punch once reached 400 kilograms!

Now, when his right hand was upgraded, he found that the power of his right fist was amazing, and the muscles were full of amazing explosive power!

In comparison, the left hand that has not been upgraded seems weak and weak.

"I still have ninety points of soul fuel! I can upgrade every part of my body!"

Taman's eyes flashed with violence and ferocity, as crazy as a wild beast.

He clearly remembered the torture he had endured these days.

However, now is not the time to show your fangs.

You need to sharpen your fangs to be even sharper and more deadly.

After quietly glancing at the big men who were playing guessing games loudly, Taman once again sank his mind into the living furnace.
