Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 104: Fate’s choice, hope’s disappointment, and head falling off!

The drinking lasted from day to night.

When Qi Hu walked out of the Jindou Cave.

It was already late at night, in the early hours of the morning.

It was snowing heavily.

Standing in the snow, Qi Hu was not in a hurry to refine the alcohol in his body. While feeling the cool snowflakes blowing on his face, he was also feeling the pleasure of being slightly drunk.

"General Qi is in a good mood."

At this moment, a laugh came from behind.

Qi Hu tilted his head slightly and saw that the person coming was the wolf demon Broken Tooth who had maintained the appearance of a human like him, so he asked, "General Broken Tooth, what's the matter?"

"nothing."

Broken Tooth smiled and shook his head: "It's just that I saw General Qi's majesty today, and I really admire him."

Hearing the words of the wolf demon beside him.

Qi Hu smiled.

Although the atmosphere among the Yuandan monsters drinking in the Jindou Cave at the back was pretty good just now, they were just pretending in front of the king.

After all, there is the grudge between Broken Tooth and Black Horn.

In the entire Jindou Mountain, except for the little monsters, any leading monster who has a little understanding of the current situation of Jindou Mountain knows it.

Now, the newly promoted general Qi Hu had a big fight with his former superior Hei Jiao. If the king had not intervened, Hei Jiao would have had his head chopped off and would have entered reincarnation long ago.

In other words, the wild boar demon Lao Wen of Black Bear Ridge is a little more stable and has a similar relationship with the other generals.

As for breaking the teeth of this wolf demon.

Qi Hu knew very well that this guy had forcibly snatched back the low-grade magical sword that he had won during the competition that year.

Although the king made the decision later and the magic sword was back in his hands, it still shows how shameless this guy Duan Ya is.

Although he wanted to kill Heijiao as soon as possible, he didn't want to have any unnecessary involvement with this guy.

However, they both had a common enemy, Black Horn, and the other party was polite at this time, so he said: "It's nothing, it's just that the opponent is not as good as him. If it were General Broken Tooth, he would be able to do it easily."

As soon as Qi Hu said this.

In the Jindou Cave at the back, Heijiao and Laowen were seen walking out one after another.

The conversation between Qi Hu and Duan Ya was not concealed.

Such a distance.

Old Wen and Black Horn heard it clearly.

“It’s easy to do.”

After leaving the Jindou Cave, Heijiao no longer needed to maintain his dignity as before. His expression instantly turned cold. Looking at Qi Shanjun and Duan Ya who were standing side by side, he snorted coldly and rode away on the black wind.

The wild boar demon Lao Wen didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly to Qi Hu who was looking at him, and then he rode away on the black mist.

See the protagonist Black Horn leave.

Duan Ya immediately lost interest, and after saying a few words to Qi Hu, he also left on the black cloud.

This is what happened.

Qi Hu lost all thoughts and instantly refined the alcohol, then flew towards the east of the main mountain on a cloud.

Quickly flew to the edge of the eastern cliff.

He saw that the entrance of the cave where he used to live was already covered with snow.

The cave was also littered with fallen leaves and dead branches.

Obviously, in the past ten years since he and his elder and second brothers left, no other monsters dared to live in this cave.

Qi Hu landed and walked into the cave. With a wave of his hand, a strong wind blew up, quickly blowing away the dust, dead branches and leaves in the cave.

Not long after.

A bonfire was lit again in this cave that had been uninhabited for more than ten years.

Watching the flames burning quietly in front of me.

Qi Hu sat in front of the fire pit and began to recall what happened in the Jindou Cave during the day.

He refused the offer from the Unicorn to compensate him with Snake Neck Ridge today, and although his idea of ​​attacking Red Head Mountain which was across the river from Snake Neck Ridge was a sudden idea, the more he thought about it now, the better it seemed to him.

Because in this way, he can not only save Snake and other monster leaders who once had a good relationship with him.

He is still very nostalgic.

At the same time, this will also help him accumulate a group of subordinates.

After all, he has now condensed the demon pill and become a great demon in the Yuandan realm. Although it is good to be the national teacher in Chechi Kingdom now, after completing the mission of Zhang Tianshi, he will definitely have to leave Chechi Kingdom and find a mountain to practice.

Even though he doesn't need it, his elder brother and second brother do.

Although the Chechi Kingdom lived a comfortable and peaceful life, due to its location, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, other blood food, spiritual medicine and the like were obviously much inferior to those in the deep mountains and dense forests.

Therefore, Qi Hu is now dividing some of the leaders under Heijiao in order to build up his team.

As for the choice to attack Red Head Mountain, it was not a random choice. First of all, although the mountain is located opposite the Snake Neck Ridge, there is an Angry River and a large valley in the middle. The distance to Golden Gourd Mountain is not as close as the Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge.

When they met the team of pilgrims in the future, the one-horned rhinoceros could just pat his butt and leave, but the bunch of little monsters in the entire Golden Gourd Mountain could not escape.

Choosing to stay away from Jindou Mountain will also make it easier to escape with your monsters.

Another reason was that when Qi Hu was coming back from Chechi Kingdom, he passed by the territory of Hongtou Mountain and was chased by the mountain king, a Yuandan realm musk deer demon, and there was some personal vengeance.

In addition, the scenery of Hongtou Mountain is beautiful, so we chose that place.

Since he didn't plan to leave Jindou Mountain directly and didn't want to alienate his relationship with the One-horned Rhinoceros, it was necessary to do this.

After all, he is now a Yuandan and is considered a big monster. It is not a good idea for him to stay in this main mountain.

After quietly reviewing what happened during the day and carefully sorting out the next plan.

Qi Hu sat in front of the fire pit and closed his eyes to rest.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning.

It was just getting dark.

The foot of the main mountain has become lively.

A large number of monsters gathered in the valley at the foot of the mountain, making a lot of noise.

The tall and strong Man Gu, with a huge bull head and a group of small monsters behind him, came down from the peak next to the main mountain. When he saw a familiar figure among the monsters at the foot of the main mountain, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stepped forward and said, "Snake Eater, you are here too."

"yes."

The sparrow demon snake took its eyes off Niu Er and Da Ge who were not far away, nodded and said, "The general has ordered us to come."

talking.

Snake suddenly came closer and said, "Man Gu, tell me honestly, what happened yesterday? They said Qi Shanjun came back? And he had a fight with our general?"

Hearing what his old friend said, Man Gu was silent for a moment, then nodded seriously and said, "This is true. Changwei Qishanjun became a general, and when he came back he cursed our general and ended up fighting with him."

At this point, Man Gu approached Snake and whispered, "Our general lost."

Hearing this, Snake's eyes widened instantly, and he turned to look at Man Gu, somewhat incredulously saying, "Are you telling the truth?"

Man Gu nodded: "How dare I say that? Many monsters saw it at the time, and it was the king who intervened in the end."

Hearing such explosive news.

Snake's heart suddenly began to boil.

Although he knew that Qi Shanjun would surely achieve more than his fellow leaders in the future, he never expected that such a short time had passed and the other party had already become a general!
Not only did he become a general, he actually got beaten by his own General Black Horn as soon as he came back, and he won!

For him, who had finally advanced from the early stage of the spiritual realm to the middle stage after more than 60 years of hard work, this was simply a fantasy and was beyond his comprehension.

However, he was always calm and composed, so he suppressed his thoughts and immediately asked again, "What was that voice that cursed our general before?"

Man Gu: "It also belongs to Qi Shanjun."

Among another group of monsters.

The big squirrel demon withdrew his gaze from above the main mountain, walked closer to the big leader Niu Er, and asked, "Is what those little demons said true? Qi Shanjun has become a general?"

Niu Er nodded: "It's all true."

Hear this.

The big one was silent.

Another place.

The rat demon leader with a rat head and a long beard was talking to two demon leaders, a weasel and a toad.

"Brother Hu."

The leader with the toad-like hair looked at the bearded man and said, "I heard that you had a good relationship with the new general yesterday. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, the bearded man's beard quirked up and he said, "Of course. General Qi Shanjun taught me how to cook. Do you think we are familiar with each other?"

The voice just fell.

Hu Zichang saw a large group of white clouds moving rapidly from the mountain to the valley above his head.

He immediately reached out and wiped his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the white cloud had flown to the middle of the valley, and a tall human figure in a black robe appeared above it.

"That is?"

The bearded man looked at the figure stepping on the white clouds in confusion, and asked subconsciously, "When did human cultivators appear on the mountain?"
But the Toad Demon who had just asked him a question immediately replied excitedly: "That's the new general who defeated our general yesterday!"

Beard length: “.”

When Qi Hu stepped on the white clouds and came to the valley where monsters gathered at the foot of the main mountain, he found that the black-horned guy was not there.

But that guy has always been very concerned about his reputation, so it is normal that such a thing as dividing the leaders under his command and slapping him in the face did not happen, because the monsters under his command have arrived anyway.

Qi Hu quickly scanned the entire place and discovered that except for the leaders and colleagues he had known before, who were all still alive and had arrived, there were also two more leader monsters, who should have been promoted during the ten years since he was away.

Just as Qi Hu was scanning all the monsters in the room.

Niu Er, Da Ge and other leaders quickly confirmed that this was his former colleague who had shocked the entire Jindou Mountain as soon as he returned to the mountain. Now he was General Qi Shanjun, so they all flew over immediately.

soon.

"Meet the general!"

The leaders, led by Niu Er, flew to the new general and saluted in unison, saying, "Greetings, General."

Looking at the group of former colleagues and monsters in front of him.

Qi Hu smiled and said, "It's good to see that you are all still here. How about it? You didn't recognize me for a moment, right?"

Hearing Qi Hu's words.

The leaders who knew Qi Hu breathed a sigh of relief. The demon race is absolutely based on strength!

The huge gap between Yuandan Realm and Tongling Realm.

When they stand in front of Qi Hu, who has a more powerful aura and a higher level of life, they will instinctively feel nervous and afraid.

At this time, Qi Hu's comfort was heard.

Only the bravest Man Gu dared to open his mouth and said with a smile: "The general has indeed changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize him."

"It's only been seventeen or eighteen years, less than twenty years since we last met, and he has condensed his Yuandan and become a general!"

"Not only has he become a general, he can even defeat his own general Black Horn!"

“How can this change be big?”

All the leaders complained in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything more.

Even though they were very familiar with Qi Shanjun in the past, Qi Shanjun was no longer on the same level as them.

Qi Hu looked at the people in front of him who were obviously reserved and nervous. Even Man Gu had just spoken with a respectful tone. He knew that they were different from his elder and second brothers after all.

Of course, he didn't care either.

This time he just wanted to recruit a few more leaders from Black Horn to join his team.

Know they are nervous.

Qi Hu stopped talking about other things and started asking some questions directly.

Not long after.

He knew then that not only the two leaders, the weasel and the toad, had been promoted during the years he was away, but a wild boar demon leader had been promoted before, but that wild boar demon had died in the previous valley competition.

Hear the news.

Plus the eldest and second brothers who had made breakthroughs before.

Qi Hu understood in his heart that the valley competition was indeed a good way to eliminate and train monsters.

After some understanding.

Qi Hu bared his fangs, and his aura suddenly increased. He then looked at the leaders in front of him, his face calm, and said in a calm voice: "This general has obtained the king's permission, and will attack the Red Head Mountain in the south in the near future."

"It is also the general's intention to summon you this time."

"I think you all know that this general has just returned to the mountain and has no demons to use."

"I summoned you here to ask if any of you are willing to follow me and serve as my vanguard in the expedition to Hongtou Mountain."

Looking ahead, there was a tall figure in a black robe, standing on the unique white clouds, with his hands behind his back.

He felt the other person's figure was larger, more powerful, and more imposing than his own general.

The vast amount of information contained in the other party's calm and majestic voice immediately made the leaders and monsters in front of them become agitated.

What does it mean to attack other hills or other forces?
That means elixir, blood food, and improvement in cultivation!
But the new general also made it clear that only those who are willing to follow him will have this opportunity.

However, this also means betraying his current general Blackhorn.
For a while.

All the leading monsters fell silent.

Watch this scene.

Qi Hu was not surprised. When he said he wanted to select some men from Heijiao's subordinates, he really meant it, instead of forcing any leader to come over.

He just needs to be willing to follow him voluntarily and actively.

After all, if I follow him this time, it can basically be regarded as saving my life and escaping the disaster of the future pilgrim.

How could Qi Hu use force to save his own life? He should respect the fate of others.

But he could probably guess what they were thinking at the moment, so he said: "You don't have to worry about Black Horn, he doesn't dare to do anything to you."

I heard Qi Hu's words were so disrespectful to his own general.

Snake, who always had a good vision, completely lost his last bit of worry. He immediately stepped forward, knelt on the black cloud at his feet, and bowed deeply, saying: "I am willing to follow the general. I hope the general will grant my wish!"

"it is good"

Seeing Snake Food being the first to stand up, Qi Hu smiled. Before on the mountain, Snake Food had always followed his lead. If Snake Food really refused to follow him this time, he would definitely be disappointed.

Now it is proven that he was not mistaken about the monster.

Snake's first surrender immediately stimulated the remaining monster leaders.

soon.

The second one stood up.

The rat demon with a long beard also stepped forward and knelt down to salute: "I am also willing to follow the general, I hope the general will grant my wish!"

"it is good"

Qi Hu nodded and smiled again. He still had a very good impression of Hu Zichang. He felt very relieved to see him join the army this time.

at this time.

Qi Hu suddenly felt a huge breath coming. He turned around and saw the bull demon Heijiao flying quickly from the neighboring forest to the foot of the mountain, and its momentum enveloped the valley.

"Humph"

Qi Hu snorted coldly, immediately suppressed his momentum, then looked at Hei Jiao and sneered: "Why, you can't afford to lose?"

"Humph!"

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Heijiao's face suddenly turned dark. He didn't say anything, just snorted coldly, then turned and flew towards the main mountain.

Seeing the two generals fighting like this.

The big guy no longer hesitated, stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, saying: "I am willing to follow the general, I hope the general will grant my wish!"

"it is good"

Seeing the big guy also stand up, Qi Huhu felt more relieved.

But then, no more leader monsters stood up.

Qi Hu glanced at the remaining leaders in front of him. Seeing Man Gu lowering his head and not moving, he was not disappointed. He just looked at the three demons who had joined him, the snake-eating, the long-bearded, and the big one, and said, "You will know in the future how correct your choice today was."

"Next, you will stay in the main mountain with your subordinates and wait for my orders."

"Yes!"

The three leading monsters saluted in unison.

Qi Hu nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and flew towards the top of the main mountain.

Watch the white cloud quickly move away.

Man Gu looked at the happy expressions on the faces of the three Snake Eaters in front of him, and for a moment he regretted not standing up.

He just felt Qi Shanjun's gaze lingering on him, and it should be that he wanted him to stand out like a snake.

However, he was a bull demon, and the general had always been very kind and caring to him.

It was from the moment he was promoted to leader.
He couldn't betray the General now.

Taking a deep breath, Man Gu sighed inwardly: "I hope I won't regret it in the future."

Three days later.

early morning.

The foot of the main mountain.

The monsters gather.

The squirrel monster is big, the sparrow monster eats snakes, and the rat monster has a long beard. The three monster leaders are wearing armor and holding weapons and standing in front.

At the back, there were nearly 150 little demons densely packed with weapons of various types.

In the air ahead.

On a pure white cloud, the newly promoted general Qi Hu, dressed in a black robe and with a dignified face, waved his hand.

Around the group of monsters below, a large amount of white clouds immediately grew and gathered rapidly, covering all the monsters.

immediately.

Qi Hu, with more than 150 monsters under his command, rode on a huge cloud and flew quickly towards the south.

This behavior consumes one's own demonic power and brings along all the little demons.

Black Horn, Broken Tooth and Old Wen, who were standing in the air around the main mountain, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qi Hu naturally had no idea what his three colleagues in the rear were thinking.

He and his little demons flew quickly across the Snake Neck Ridge and the Angry River, and landed directly at the foot of the mountain below the Red Head Mountain.

Looking at the group of monsters flying into the sky for the first time, they were full of curiosity and excitement.

With a wave of his hand, Qi Hu added several layers of BUFFs that meant excitement, bloodthirstiness, and bellicosity to the group of monsters in front of him, and then raised his hand to point to the mountains ahead.

"kill!"

The three leaders, the big one, the snake eater, and the bearded man, immediately understood, brandished their weapons, and shouted, "Kill!"

Between the roars.

The third leader was the first to rush out.

At this time, the little demons were already in an extremely excited and frantic state. They roared and howled, waving their weapons and rushing madly towards the forest ahead.

"Who dares to invade my forest?"

At this moment, an angry voice quickly came from the forest ahead.

Looking at the yellow figure that quickly appeared above the Red Head Mountains.

Qi Hu grinned and immediately went forward to meet him.

Huang Cheng, the deer monster, was startled when he saw the white cloud and the human-like figure flying towards him. However, when he saw the group of monsters that had already rushed into his forest, he immediately growled at the flying figure, "Who are you? How dare you invade my forest!"

"Roar!"

But he did not receive a reply from the other party. Instead, he received a tiger roar that shook the entire forest.

For an instant.

The deer monster Huang Cheng's face suddenly changed, and his whole body suddenly glowed with yellow light, but he still felt something and was about to fight back.

The next moment.

The black-robed figure in front of him disappeared instantly.

"Certainly!"

When a huge, strange and completely irresistible force attacked from behind, trapping the deer monster Huang Cheng in an instant, unable to move at all, Huang Cheng's face was already filled with horror!
"It's over!"

This thought just popped into my mind.

Huang Cheng felt as if the world in front of him was turned upside down, but then he reacted: "Oh, it turns out that my head fell off"
