Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 10 Daily Life in Black Devil Cave

"It seems that Junior Brother Xuankong's death was indeed caused by that Black Evil King." The old man in green clothes on the right said with hatred.

"Master, Junior Brother Xuankong's revenge must be avenged!" the old man in black on the left said gritting his teeth.

"The monster in the Black Demon Cave is becoming more and more arrogant!"

"Yesterday, your majesty's concubine was out for a walk, but she was kidnapped by the daring evildoer in the Black Evil Cave. As the protector of Donglai, we are unable to ensure peace in Donglai and protect our fellow disciples. This is really shameful."

One of the old men in yellow added with hatred.

The head of the Beast Taming Sect, Master Baiyun, a dignified old man wearing a crescent crown, said with some fear:
"Two years ago, we conquered the Black Demon Cave once, but returned without success."

"The five monsters in Kanyuan Mountain are in cahoots with each other. If one monster is in trouble, the other four will come to support it. If we attract the Demon King of Chaos, the Black Barbarian Monster, the Iron Bone Monster, the Nether Scale Monster, and the Black Evil Monster, it will be difficult to deal with them if the five monsters join forces."

“Rather than going to war, even if we manage to eliminate this Black Evil Cave, I’m afraid our Beast Taming Sect will suffer a great loss of strength!”

"Master, are we going to let these five demons continue to do evil in this Donglai Kingdom?" The old man in green had a hot temper and was extremely angry. He pressed Master Baiyun.

"My fellow brothers, don't panic. I have a plan that can cause the five monsters of Kanyuan Mountain to fall apart and kill each other. Then, my Beast Taming Sect will be able to destroy these five monsters without any effort."

"only……"

At this time, among the five old men, an old man in gray who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke and looked at Master Baiyun.

"Oh? Junior Brother Ku Mu, you can say whatever you want." The sect leader, Zhenren Baiyun, said bluntly.

"I have raised a few demon slaves and found out that the five demons of Kanyuan Mountain are not completely united."

"My plan requires the use of our sect's most precious treasure. Once that magic weapon is released, no monster will be able to refuse it!"

Withered Tree gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Junior Brother Ku Mu, do you want to use two peaches to kill three warriors? A strategy of driving a tiger to devour a wolf?" True Man Baiyun already understood what Ku Mu meant.

"Kumu, you are so bold! Do you know what consequences will be caused if that magic weapon falls into the hands of the demons?" Upon hearing the words, the old man in black, True Man Wuyun, immediately shouted loudly.

"Today, Lord Xingjun sent me an order, asking us to capture the toad monster. At the same time, he can ensure that two people from our Beast Taming Sect will be included in the immortal class." Taoist Master Baiyun suddenly said, throwing out a piece of news.

"Among the immortals?"

When everyone heard this, their hearts skipped a beat and their breathing quickened. Isn't it for the sake of ascending to the immortal world that he and other cultivators practiced so hard?

There must be one spot for the Sect Leader, and the other spot will be available to all four of them.

At this moment, even the most stubborn old man in black no longer objected.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Master, I think we should follow Junior Brother Ku Mu's idea." The old man in white gave a dry cough and spoke in support.

"The five monsters in Kanyuan Mountain have been causing trouble for a long time. If we can eradicate them, we can restore peace to the people of Donglai. It is worth taking some risks."

The old man in green groaned and agreed.

"Well, let's go back and plan it carefully. This strategy must be comprehensive!" Master Baiyun made the decision.

"promise!"

All four of them agreed.

……

The sun is rising and the morning light is breaking.

"Dang, Dang, Dang"

"I'm a little monster."

"The king asked me to patrol the mountains. I patrolled the South Mountain and the North Mountain..."

Xiao Chen, with a team of little demons under his command, swarmed out from the green mountains and lakes, beating gongs, hitting drums, holding flags, and singing songs. They skipped and jumped on the border of Heisongling and began today's mountain patrol mission.

The little demons walked along the mountain path, their eyes constantly looking around and their ears perked up to listen for any unusual sounds.

Some of the little demons used their sharp claws to dig the ground to look for clues, while some of them climbed up tall trees to look around and check for abnormal signs on Heisong Ridge. If they found anything wrong, they would report to Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen would give feedback to Qingchi as appropriate.

After completing the mountain patrol mission, Xiao Chen took his little demons to the pond in Qingchi Water Park, scooped up various grown-up fish, and loaded them onto a one-wheeled wooden cart.

After loading the carts, Xiao Chen led the little demons, supporting and pushing wheelbarrows filled with fish, to the hills of various commanders and the king to escort the aquatic products.

In the evening, Xiao Chen and the little demons gathered together, lit a bonfire, built a stove, and cooked rice.

The little demons would occasionally catch one or two foreign wild demons and lost woodcutter hunters, and they would naturally kill them directly to improve their food.

The life of the little demons in Heisongling is so busy, lively and carefree.

...It has been a month since I came to Heishongling.

Xiao Chen had become quite familiar with the Black Evil Cave, and he knew most of the little monsters in the mountains.

At this time, he had just finished patrolling the mountains and was leading a team of little demons, escorting several large carts of aquatic products from Qingshan Water Park to deliver them to each mountain one by one.

In the Black Evil Cave, when passing by the weapon treasury, Xiao Chen looked through the crack in the door at the various weapons inside. He had been salivating over the weapons for a long time, and his saliva was almost flowing.

"Cultivation, if I could get in, these would be ready-made cultivations!"

The most direct way to enter the weapon treasury is, of course, to make great contributions and ask for rewards from the Black Evil King.

But Xiao Chen had no intention of running to Donglai Kingdom to capture some human noblewoman for the king to satisfy his lust, nor did he have the patience to wait until the Black Evil Cave went to war with other forces so that he could fight hard and make military achievements.

He's been trying to find ways to take shortcuts these days.

The one guarding the weapon vault is a white bear demon with over 200 years of practice. The important places like the Black Evil Cave are all guarded by the Black Evil King's own clan confidants.

Xiao Chen had been dealing with this white bear monster for a while, and even treated it to two meals of wine. He found out that this white bear monster liked to eat herring very much, especially the fish roe of herring.

Xiao Chen took advantage of his position and sent fat black carp to the white bear demon for two consecutive days, allowing the white bear demon to eat to his heart's content. Then he deliberately left it alone for the next ten days, sending it silver carp, bighead carp and other fish, but no black carp.

Maybe it's time to close the net.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, signaling the little monsters behind him to go back first, and he tentatively greeted the white bear monster.

"Brother Jinjiao, why haven't you sent any green fish in these days?"

The white bear demon poked his head over and was a little disappointed to see that it was another silver carp. In the end, he couldn't help but scratched his head and asked Xiao Chen.

"Brother Baishan, you also know that the reproduction of black carp is not fast in this season, and the black carp is fat. Those commanders have also ordered to enjoy it." Xiao Chen looked embarrassed and said with difficulty.

"Is that so..." The white bear demon suddenly came over and asked quietly.

"I wonder if Brother Jinjiao could be kind enough to give me a few of them. I've been craving for them these past few days."

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen waved his hands repeatedly and refused righteously:
"Brother Baishan, please don't harm me. I am just a small demon patrolling the mountains. How dare I deduct the shares of the commanders? If they find out, my head will be chopped off sooner or later."

"Then... forget it."

The white bear demon shook his big round head in disappointment and sighed.

"Well, but..."

Xiao Chen groaned and changed the subject.

"But what?"

Seeing that there seemed to be hope again, the white bear monster moved its big round head closer again.

"But I still have a few in stock. They are all three feet long female herrings with lots of roe and are extremely plump. I was planning to enjoy them on my birthday."

"Gululu..."

The white bear demon swallowed his saliva when he heard this. An awkward but polite smile appeared on his big round face. He rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly:

"Brother Jinjiao, can you, can you..."

"Three. I'll give you three."

Xiao Chen stretched out his finger and made the number "three".

"Brother Jinjiao, I am so sorry."

Hearing that there were blue carp roe to eat, the white bear demon scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"Brother Baishan, as you know, my true form is a golden toad, belonging to the element of gold. I naturally like these metal weapons and treasures. Do you think you can let me in and play with them for a while?"

Xiao Chen moved closer to the white bear monster, pointed at the armory, and asked quietly.

In order to reassure the White Bear Monster and dispel his worries, Xiao Chen said, "Brother Baishan, you can watch from the side. I will never take it away. I am just playing with it."

"This."

The white bear demon seemed a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and explained: "Brother Jinjiao, it's not that I don't want to. It's just that without the king's token, no one can enter or leave this weapon treasury at will."

"Eight big female bluefin breams! Brother Baishan, eight! I will give you all my stock." Xiao Chen continued to tempt.
