Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 17 [4K, please read]

"Is it the kid from Snake Neck Ridge who's here again?"

Two huge and sharp auras swept up with black wind and quickly surged over, landing on the ground and transforming into two figures:
A three-meter-tall bull demon with two horns on its head and lumps of muscle all over its body;
The other one was a black wolf demon that was over two meters tall, slightly shorter, and slender, with black hair all over its body and a black wolf head on its head.

As soon as the bull demon landed, he shouted, "It seems the lesson we taught them last time wasn't enough!"

The wolf demon said nothing as he strode towards the two bull demons who were covered in blood and desperately trying to escape for their lives in the dense forest outside the woods ahead.

At this time.

A black shadow followed closely behind and flew out from the cave at the back. When it landed, it turned into an eagle monster with a bird's head. It was the Great Drilling Golden Feather that the monsters had seen before.

In the woodland.

The monsters who were having dinner finally reacted at this time.

"Have the cubs from Snake Neck Ridge arrived?"

"Go, kill the cub!"

"Wait, I haven't finished eating yet."

"What are you going to eat? Kill all the snake cubs that have crossed the border before you eat!"

"Quick, grab your weapons!"

"It's time to earn elixirs!"

"."

One of the monsters immediately dropped the food in his hand, yelled, picked up his weapon and ran forward.

Even the monster cooks who were packing up kitchen utensils in a corner of the woods were no exception. They picked up their weapons and rushed forward.

Even the cook was on hand.

Naturally, the three Qi Hu brothers did not dare to neglect it.

The three brothers quickly dropped their food, picked up their weapons and followed the group of monsters.

As they ran, the three brothers quickly and quietly communicated with each other.

Da Jiao said anxiously: "I saw clearly, it was the Manniu brothers, they must have encountered the monster from Snake Neck Ridge!"

Qi Hu: "Of the three brothers, only two have returned, and the remaining one is likely dead."

Changya: "Damn it, this place is really dangerous. One of the three Manniu brothers died right after they arrived. Luckily, the second brother led us the wrong way and we arrived late."

The woodland is not too large.

The three brothers quickly rushed to the edge.

In front, the two leading monsters had already met two bull monsters that were covered in wounds.

"Was it the Snake Neck Ridge kid who did it?"

"Is there any leader?"

The leader bull demon with a bull head on his head spoke anxiously and asked directly as he stepped forward.

rear.

Because the original owner was not very familiar with the other leaders of Jindou Mountain except his own leader, he touched his second brother Dajiao and asked in a low voice: "Who is that leader?"

"That's the powerful leader."

Da Jiao tried his best to lower his voice and spoke as quietly as possible.

When Qi Hu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately remembered something. However, he did not speak this time. He just looked at his second brother. Da Jiao also understood the meaning of Qi Hu's eyes and nodded.

The eldest brother Changya, who was standing nearby, naturally heard the conversation between his second and third brothers.

At this time, he turned and grinned at Qi Hu.

Although the three brothers didn't say anything, their expressions made their meanings very clear.

And what kind of monster is this powerful leader?
It was the bull demon leader Niu Dali whom they had talked about before, who had tried to learn the storage skill from the big squirrel demon leader five times but failed, and got so angry that he fought with the big leader, and finally lost!
Now, this powerful leader has become a joke in the eyes of all the monsters in Jindou Mountain who know about this matter.

Of course, due to the authority of the chief monster, no one dared to mention this matter in front of him. The little monsters below didn't even dare to talk about it in public. At most, they could chat about it in private, just like the three Qi Hu brothers are doing now.

"Yes"

Arriving at his own forest and seeing his leader and a group of his fellow monsters, Manniu heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, he heard the leader's question and quickly replied with a gasp: "There is no leader. No, I didn't see the leader. It was a group of monsters from Snake Neck Ridge who attacked the three of us brothers. The three of us brothers couldn't beat them, so we had to run for our lives. My third brother couldn't escape in time..."

Manniu spoke intermittently, very emotional.

But Chief Niu Dali never likes to listen to long talks, and has no interest in listening to nonsense.

When he heard that there was no leader coming to attack from Snake Neck Ridge, he immediately interrupted and said, "Okay, this leader knows!"

talking.

Niu Dali immediately turned to look at the black wolf demon leader beside him and said, "Third brother, the leader on the other side is not here, so I will take a few of the little ones to take care of them, just in time for some wine and food!"

"Um"

Hearing Niu Dali's words, the black wolf demon nodded and said nothing.

Niu Dali turned around and pointed at the three nearest monsters one by one, saying in a gruff voice, "The boys from Snake Neck Ridge are here to bring wine and food!"

"You three, follow me!"

After saying that, Niu Dali immediately wrapped up a gust of black wind and flew towards the dense forest where the two Manniu brothers had escaped before.

The three demons who were named were stunned for a moment, then they waved their weapons, yelled and followed.

See it's nothing serious.

The leader of the Black Wolf Demon even ignored the two brothers, the Barbarian Bull, who were covered in wounds and looked pitiful. He just said a few words to the Big Wind Eagle Demon Jin Yu beside him, then turned and walked towards the cave behind him.

All the monsters immediately made way and saluted.

Looking at the black wolf demon who seemed only slightly taller than himself and whose aura seemed a little inferior to that of the previous leader Niu Dali, Qi Hu was not at all indifferent and quickly followed suit in saluting.

This person did not need his second brother to introduce him, because he was one of the few leaders that the original owner knew.

Black Wolf Demon, Wolf Three, the second leader of Jindou Mountain!
He is also the sworn brother of Heijiao, the King of Jindou Mountain, and Commander-in-Chief Niu Er.

It is precisely because the king, the first chief and the second chief are sworn brothers that the trend of sworn brotherhood among the little monsters on Jindou Mountain is so popular.

After all, among the demon race, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle.

And worshipping the strong is the nature of the little demons below.

This was also the reason why Niu Dali called the Black Wolf Demon "Third Brother" and took the initiative to go out and wipe out the monsters in Snake Neck Ridge.

This second leader is much more powerful than he looks.

Until the second leader walked away.

The Eagle Demon Da Zuan Feng Jinyu then looked at the surrounding demons and said, "With our powerful leader taking action, those demons from Snake Neck Ridge will surely die!"

"Let's go eat. After we finish eating, we still have to continue patrolling."

As he spoke, Da Zuan Feng Jin Yu looked at the two brothers of Man Niu who were covered in wounds and said, "You two come too. It's a good opportunity to tell them what happened before. You don't need to patrol anymore today. Have a good rest."

After saying that, he looked at the monster in the kitchen and said, "Cook another pot of food according to the previous amount. We need to feed our brothers so that we can kill the monster in Snake Neck Ridge."

Hear what Da Zuanfeng said.

The kitchen monsters continued to cook dinner.

The monsters returned to their previous positions and picked up the big meat bones that were dropped on the ground.

If you want to be more particular, blow on it and pat the sand on it.

Those who don’t care will just pick it up and bite it. After all, they have eaten all kinds of things before they gain intelligence.

But now.

Although all the monsters gathered together, even the two brothers Manniu came.

But he talked much less than before.

After all, they have all seen how ferocious the monsters in Snake Neck Ridge are.

The two Manniu brothers sat together, their faces heavy with sorrow, and they did not tell the surrounding monsters about their previous attack experience as Da Zuanfeng had instructed.

The three Qi Hu brothers and the other two monsters didn't ask either.

After all, they just arrived today, and their brother died on their first patrol.

They also came today, so it's inevitable that they can empathize with the situation.

Of course, not all monsters feel the same way.

At least the Changya who have a grudge against them won't.

But at this time.

Changya naturally didn't say much.

The three brothers just walked away with the food.

Changya immediately said excitedly: "I have said before that among the three brothers of Manniu, he is the most hypocritical, the second brother is the most cunning, and the youngest one, Black Bull, is the most honest and the most bullied. This is true. I heard that Black Bull has always been bullied by his two brothers!"

"Sure enough, when they encountered the monster in Snake Neck Ridge this time, they immediately abandoned the black bull and ran for their lives!"

"I guess I was right."

The hatred between monsters is direct and simple.

If there was no pressure from the King of Jindou Mountain and the restrictions of the mountain rules, Changya would have fought with the three brothers of Manniu to the death.

Therefore, Changya was naturally happy when Manniu's brother died. He didn't care how or why the brother died.

The eldest brother was happy, and Da Jiao and Qi Hu were also happy.

He would not hypocritically sympathize with Manniu and others who had lost their brothers, because they were rivals and enemies.

Qi Hu, Changya and Dajiao are one body, they advance and retreat together, and they are sworn brothers who stick together for survival.

This is true when facing benefits, and it is also true when facing dangers.

Looking at the eldest brother's excitement.

Da Jiao also said: "If the three Barbarian Bull brothers become two brothers, it will be much easier to deal with them in the future."

Changya nodded, and then continued: "The third brother is already in the middle stage. Even if the black bull didn't die this time, the three of us brothers would definitely win against the three of them. But now that the black bull is dead, it will be easier for us."

Qi Hu nodded and said, "But let's not do anything here, otherwise the leader will definitely be unhappy. After all, our current enemy is the monster from Snake Neck Ridge."

Hearing Qi Hu's words.

Both brothers nodded.

But then, everyone fell silent.

What Da Zuanfeng said when he came here before scared them.

What happened to the Manniu brothers now further confirmed what Da Zuanfeng said, that this place is very dangerous.

During their first patrol, the three Manniu brothers encountered a monster from Snake Neck Ridge and one of them died on the spot.

If they were on patrol, the same thing would naturally happen.

At this time.

A black wind suddenly howled from the dense forest outside the woods.

Inside the camp.

Qi Hu and his group of monsters immediately turned around to look.

Then the black wind fell to the ground and turned into a tall and strong bull monster, who was the leader Niu Dali who had gone to kill the monsters in Snake Neck Ridge before.

The powerful leader was seen holding the corpse of a dog demon in one hand and the corpse of a black bull demon in the other. He strode towards the cave behind the camp and shouted as he walked, "Third brother, look what I caught, a dog demon."

"Why do I think the cow in Leader Dali's hand looks familiar?"

Changya, who was gnawing on a bone, stared at Niu Dali and suddenly spoke in a low voice. However, as he spoke, his eyes suddenly widened and he said, "I remember now. That was the body of the third brother of the Manniu brothers, Black Bull. I have seen the true form of that guy before. It must be him!"

"Brother is not mistaken, it must be him"

Qi Hu then added: "Look at the expressions of Manniu and the others."

Changya and Dajiao looked over immediately after hearing the sound, and saw the two Manniu brothers with heavy, angry and complicated expressions in their eyes.

Obviously, they also recognized that the two demon corpses held in the hands of the powerful leader, one of which was the one who had previously protected their dead brother.

this moment.

Even Qi Hu felt a little sympathy for Manniu.

But more of them were not impressed by the powerful leader.

Although it is not strange for a group of monsters to eat the corpses of their own monsters, it is just like the reward banquet after a group fight between two parties.

But in this case, as soon as the little demon below dies in the battle, you, as the leader, can't wait to take the other's corpse and start eating it?
Even if you want to eat it? At least cover it up. The other party has sworn brothers. It would be bad if the little demon below saw it, right?

But the bull leader was so carefree, not at all shy and not caring at all.

Although I know that the demon world is cruel and cold.

But this Niu Dali is too cold-blooded.

"No wonder I can't learn a magical power even after trying five times!"

"After getting so angry that he was humiliated, he was killed by a big leader who was not as good as him. He really deserved it!"

At this moment, Qi Hu was probably not the only one thinking this way.

All the monsters around who recognized the corpse of the bull demon in Niu Dali's hand had more or less similar emotions towards the powerful leader.

This has nothing to do with anything else, it's just the instinct of sympathy for one's own kind.

But they are too weak.

No matter how much you think about it, you can't change anything.

But inside the camp, the group of eating and drinking monsters became even more silent.

Not long after Leader Niu Dali returned.

The three monsters that followed also came back.

It's just that they were in great spirits and kept talking.

After returning to camp.

Almost only the voices of these three demons can be heard.

"Hey, those Snake Neck Ridge brats are running for their lives when they see their leader!"

"We were a step too late and couldn't catch up with them at all."

"Otherwise, we should at least kill a few of the Snake Neck Ridge cubs this time to avenge our brothers who died before!"

"."

The noise of the three monsters made the previously dull camp a little more lively.

When the little demons finished their dinner.

The red sun sets in the sky.

In a dense bamboo forest.

It was already pitch black.

The eagle demon Da Zuan Feng Jin Yu was standing in front of a group of monsters, dividing the work.

The area of ​​Lingdi Bamboo Forest is ten times smaller than the entire Jindou Mountain.

However, the number and quality of monsters patrolled by the former are several times that of the latter.

"This place is not like the main mountain. The kids from Snake Neck Ridge love to steal our elixirs at night."

Eagle demon Jin Yu said, looking at a thin monkey demon with long arms and legs, "Mala, you three brothers, come together!"

"Yes"

The monkey demon named Maluo nodded immediately.

The eagle demon Jin Yu continued to look at a sheep demon and said, "Sharp Fang, you two brothers come together!"

The sheep demon who was named nodded and said nothing.

The monkey and sheep monsters that were named were all in the late stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm. Before, the five of them patrolled together during the day, but now they have been separated.

"As for you three."

Eagle Demon Jin Yu said as he looked at the three Qi Hu brothers and said, "Let's go together. As for the route, I will take you there first!"

Then, Jin Yu looked at the two brothers of the Barbarian Bull, whose wounds were already scabbed, and said, "You brothers should rest here tonight and continue patrolling tomorrow."

Done.

Eagle demon Jin Yu looked at the three demons and said, "You were all selected by your respective leaders. You are all very strong. Tonight is your first night of patrol. If you encounter the cubs from Snake Neck Ridge, fight them if you can. If you can't, run away and come back to inform your leaders!"

"That's it, let's go!"

Half an hour later.

In the pitch-black forest.

The three Qi Hu brothers, holding weapons, walked carefully on a beast trail overgrown with weeds and thorns.

Above the three brothers.

High on a bamboo branch.

A black eagle with shiny feathers was saying, "As long as one of the spiritual herbs in the spiritual land grows, the king will know about it. So, don't have any bad intentions, otherwise no one can save you."

"And if you keep going down this bamboo forest, you will be able to return to the place where I took you. There is a magic circle in the bamboo forest. You..."

But he didn't finish his words.

Suddenly, I felt an extreme heart palpitation and horror, and every hair on my body stood upside down.

"Run!!!"

There was no time to figure out where the danger came from. The eagle demon Da Zuan Feng Jinyu instantly let out a shrill scream, spread its wings and shot towards the dense forest like an arrow.

next second.

"Giggle."

"This little eagle is really good-looking."

A pleasant laugh sounded above the bamboo forest in the spiritual land.
