Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 31 Heehee [4.7K]

early morning.

It was just getting dark.

Jindou Mountain, the sacred bamboo forest, the edge of the camp.

Several wooden houses area.

In the wooden house closest to the outside.

A tiger demon with a huge and mighty tiger head, a strong body, well-proportioned muscles, and a half-demon body. Black air is rising around the tiger demon, and he is immersed in practicing meditation.

At this time.

The rising black air quickly sank into the tiger monster's body.

Then, the tiger demon woke up from his training and opened his eyes.

"call"

The tiger demon let out a long breath, feeling the spiritual power surging in his body, feeling unprecedented comfort and lightness throughout his body, and unprecedented strength contained in his limbs and bones.

The tiger demon was very satisfied.

Then, his mind moved slightly.

Virtual ink writing emitting a pale white light began to appear before our eyes.

The one who has a digital panel and is a tiger monster, naturally it must be Qi Hu.

Since more than a month and a half ago.

The battle of Shejingling's invasion of Jindou Mountain ended with Jindou Mountain suffering heavy losses.

Qi Hu, his elder brother, second brother and a group of little demons, followed their leader Man Gu and the snake-eating leader to the bamboo forest of Lingdi to station and patrol.

When he first arrived at the Lingdi Camp, he was tempted by the excellent working conditions promised by the leader Man Gu Tou.

Qi Hu volunteered and was successfully appointed as the camp's cook.

Therefore, thanks to his good cooking skills, he lived a much more comfortable and leisurely life as a monster than his elder and second brothers.

Like now.

Qi Hu had just woken up after a night of meditation.

His sworn elder brother Changya and second elder brother Dajiao were still patrolling the mountains in the spiritual land and had not returned yet.

[Realm: Late Spiritual Awakening Realm (0.11%)]

【Soul: 0】

[Kung Fu: Moon Yin Qi Eating Method (Proficient) (11.25%)]

[Magic Powers: Tiger Roar (Proficient) (3.5%); Bone Tempering (Entry Level) (2.5%); Trampling (Entry Level) (1.7%); Cheek Pouch (Entry Level) (30.3%)]

【.】

Looking at the data that keeps appearing in front of me.

Watching the changes behind the realm bar.

Qi Hu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Finally, we are in the late stage too."

For a while,
Qi Hu's mind quickly recalled all his experiences since he came to this world.

The total time of about two months was not long, but the dangers, twists and turns, ups and downs he experienced during that time really made him feel that it was more thrilling and exciting than the experiences of more than 20 years in his previous life!
They all feel longer!
Now, he has finally cultivated from the lowest level, the early stage of the Spirit Qiming Realm, to the late stage of the Spirit Qiming Realm, and has climbed up a little bit.

Although still a low-level demon.

But this step has already surpassed too many little monsters in the monster clan.

At least a month and a half ago, three quarters of the monsters that died on Jindou Mountain did not survive Qi Hu.

After waking up, I recalled a little.

Qi Hu didn't think any more about it.

His eyes returned to the data panel in front of him.

He is now in the late stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm.

If you can go one step further, you will reach the spiritual realm and become a leader!

The realm of leader!
Its most representative abilities are the ability to fly and to completely transform into a human form, and its strength far exceeds that of monsters below the psychic realm.

Even on Jindou Mountain, the leader-level monsters are the absolute backbone of the monster group, and they can control the life and death of a large number of small monsters with a single thought.

Just thinking about it makes him feel excited and expectant.

However, he has just advanced to the late stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm, and there is still some distance before he can reach perfection in this realm, which will take longer than the previous two months.

Qi Hu thought about it for a moment and calmed down.

Look at the data in front of you again.

The soul bar is still zero.

Ever since the last time the accumulated soul power was used to strengthen the "Moon Yin Eating Air Method".

He no longer had any monsters to kill, nor any soul power to earn.

After the last battle, the monsters from Snake Neck Ridge have not invaded the sacred bamboo forest for nearly two months, and it is unknown how long this situation will last.

Keep looking down.

Since the "Moon Yin Eating Air Method" behind the skills column was strengthened to the proficient stage, the experience value growth rate has slowed down significantly.

In the initial stage, practicing meditation for a whole night can at least increase your concentration a little bit or more.

Now I have only achieved a little after practicing meditation for a few days.

You should know that Qi Hu now spends much more time practicing and meditating every day than before.

However, Qi Hu felt lucky to be able to get this data panel.

No matter how slowly the data changes, he just feels that it is his luck and does not have any complaints at all.

Moreover, the "Lunar Yin Food Breathing Method" is something that you will use for your entire life, so how slow can the experience bar increase?

The lifespan of demons far exceeds that of humans.

Qi Hu, who is now in the late stage of the Qi Ling realm, has probably already lived much longer than he did in his previous life.

However, although the lifespan of the demon race is long, too many of them do not even live to see the day of their death.

Look down again.

There are certain changes in the four magical powers in the magical power column, but the changes are not big.

Over the past month, Qi Hu has been focusing on practicing meditation and improving his cultivation.

Because cultivation is the foundation.

If one's cultivation and spiritual power are not enough, no matter how many supernatural powers one knows, it is like a tree without roots and water without a source.

After all, without enough spiritual power, everything is in vain.

As for learning new magical powers.

Qi Hu doesn’t have that much capital now.

The three brothers ate up all the monster blood food they earned in the previous battle, otherwise they would not have been able to advance to the later stage one after another. It was all thanks to the blood food.

At the same time, Qi Hu didn't want to curry favor with other monsters.

Once he is promoted to leader, it will be much simpler and more convenient, and there will be no extra cost.

Moreover, he is now in the late stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm, only one step away from the leader realm.

I carefully reviewed my panel data.

Qi Hu then dispersed the panel.

He has something important to do today.

At this time in the past, he was practicing.

But today, he is going hunting.

With the size of the storage space in his and his kitchen assistant Toad Monster's big belly, a full belly of mortal beasts can last for about three days.

So, every three days.

Qi Hu would get up early and go out hunting with his big belly.

Today too.

He stood up and picked up the large gourd kettle hanging nearby.

Qi Hu gulped down a big gulp.

Then he stirred the fire pit in the middle of the wooden house that was about to go out, and added some firewood to prevent it from going out before his eldest and second brothers returned from patrolling the mountains.

It was almost late autumn, and the temperature dropped sharply at night. It was at least much colder than Qi Hu remembered when the original owner was in the main mountain last year. This was probably because it was located in this bamboo forest.

On cold nights, there was a fire pit for warmth, and the three brothers gathered around it to eat and chat, which was quite comfortable.

Simply tidied up.

Qi Hu loosened the deerskin under him.

Compared to himself yesterday before the promotion, he felt that he should be taller, stronger, and a little bigger.

Among a group of monsters, the bigger you are, the stronger you are. Only when you are strong can you gain the awe and respect of other monsters.

Qi Hu would certainly not deliberately become smaller or anything like that.

Of course, if you reach the level of cultivation like the king, your strength does not need to be judged by appearance.

Re-tie the deerskin around your crotch.

Qi Hu picked up the broken sword beside him and walked out of the wooden house.

He closed the wooden door casually, and then he saw his assistant in the kitchen, the toad monster with a big belly, walking towards him with a yawn.

"Longtail, what are you doing?"

Seeing Qi Hu approaching, the Toad Demon swallowed the yawn that was about to burst out, looked at Qi Hu with surprise and said, "Grown taller again?"

As he spoke, Dadu walked to Qi Hu's side and put his hands on his head and Qi Hu's waist.

Looking at the extent of the other party's gestures, Qi Hu estimated that he should be about two meters and five centimeters tall now, catching up with the height of his elder brother Chang Ya when he was in the middle stage of the Qi Ling realm.

As for why it was before.

Because Qi Hu has advanced to the late stage of Changya half a month ahead of him, his height is now two meters eighty-nine, almost three meters.

His talent is truly amazing. As for the second brother, Da Jiao, he is also in the late stage of cultivation, and his height is about 2.23 meters.

It is shorter than Qi Hu and Chang Ya, but it is already very tall among the monsters.

A large number of monsters in the late stage of Qi Ling realm are much smaller than Da Jiao.

For example, the toad monster in front of him, Big Belly, was in the late stage of the Qi Ling realm a few years ago, and was only about 1.56 meters tall.

Even so, he is not the shortest among the monsters, there are even shorter ones.

"kindness"

Seeing the envy in the Toad Monster's big belly almost overflowing the screen, Qi Hu didn't care and nodded, "Let's go. We have caught all the beasts around these days. We have to go to a farther place today."

As Qi Hu said this, he carried the big iron knife and walked out of the camp.

The toad demon Dadu followed quickly with a short-handled axe in his hand.

Out of the campground.

The two demons chatted for a while.

At this time, the Toad Demon Dadu suddenly said, "Brother Changwei, do you know? When Lao Bai and his group were patrolling at night yesterday, they said they found the cubs from Snake Neck Ridge!"

The Lao Bai mentioned by Dadu is a sheep demon in the late Qi Ling realm. Like Qi Hu's sworn elder and second brothers, he is one of the three groups of patrolling demons.

The patrol times of the three groups of monsters will change and swap at regular intervals and will not remain unchanged.

Qi Hu was not surprised that Dadu changed his words and called him brother, but he was surprised by what Dadu just said. He immediately turned his head and looked down at Dadu beside him and asked, "The cub from Snake Neck Ridge has appeared? Are you sure you heard it right?"

"No."

Dadu shook his head and said, "Lao Bai told us himself. He said he saw the monster from Snake Neck Ridge in the opposite forest, but those kids didn't cross the border. They ran away as soon as they saw Lao Bai and his men."

I heard that the monster in Snake Neck Ridge did not cross the border.

Qi Hu didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy for a moment.

Be happy! If the monsters from Snake Neck Ridge never cross the border, the monsters from Jindou Mountain stationed in the camp will be much more stable and safe, and he can continue to live such a peaceful life.

Although the practice is a bit slow.

They will be unhappy, right? If the monsters from Snake Neck Ridge cross the border, then the monsters stationed there will have something to do. After all, it is the consensus of all the monsters in Jindou Mountain to retaliate against Snake Neck Ridge, and they will definitely retaliate fiercely when the time comes.

But if this happened, he and his elder and second brothers would definitely be in much more danger.

However, with danger comes reward, and this is how they can get the monster's corpse and blood food again.

With blood food, their cultivation efficiency can be doubled.

Otherwise, if they practiced meditation slowly and step by step, they would be far from reaching perfection in the late stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm, and even sooner would they reach the leader position in the Spiritual Communication Realm.

All sorts of things flashed through my mind quickly.

Qi Hu immediately asked: "Did they tell the leader?"

The Toad Demon nodded: "They said they have already told the leader."

Qi Hu was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said: "Then we have to be careful next time."

Speaking of it.

Qi Hu suddenly stopped and walked to a thorn bush full of red and ripe raspberries. He broke off a branch with the most raspberries and ate them while walking, saying, "Let's go."

Seeing Qi Hu's actions, the toad demon Dadu also followed suit and immediately picked a branch. He followed Qi Hu while eating and walked towards the depths of the southern bamboo forest.

"Big belly."

At this time, Qi Hu, who had been silent for a long time while eating raspberries, suddenly spoke up: "Why do you think we must be on guard against the cubs from Snake Neck Ridge? Why can we only passively wait for them to cross the border and cannot go over to retaliate against them?"

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Dadu fell silent. After a while, he looked at Qi Hu and said, "Maybe it's because we have spiritual land and they don't?"

"probably."

Hearing Dadu's answer, Qi Hu smiled.

However, he knew in his heart that what Dadu said was only part of the reason, and the main reason was that they lost the last battle at Jindou Mountain.

Otherwise it's the same as before.

The monsters stationed in the spiritual land of Jindou Mountain were annoyed by the frequent attacks from Snake Neck Ridge to steal the spiritual medicine, so they counterattacked in groups and killed them.

However, although the toad monster Dadu is very familiar with him, they are not sworn brothers like Changya and Dajiao.

Some things are hard to talk about.

“Try it here”

At this time, after looking around, Qi Hu took out the magical beast flute given to him by the Barbarian Bone Leader and began to play it.

"woo"

A low flute sound began to sound and continued to spread in all directions.

A good while.

Finally, a fat hare jumped out from the lush grass around, and a snake as thick as an adult's arm swam out.

"Give me that snake"

Looking at the toad monster's big belly putting the hare into it and then trying to put the snake into it, Qi Hu suddenly spoke.

With this animal flute, it is normal for Qi Hu to abuse his power for personal gain, and the same goes for Dadu.

Dadu immediately handed the snake to Qi Hu.

After Qi Hu put away the snake, he continued walking towards the south with his big belly.

There used to be many mortal beasts in this spiritual land, but because of the last battle, a large number of them fled.

Although the number of mortal beasts has recovered somewhat in the past two months.

But because Qi Hu brought his big belly to catch beasts too frequently, the number of ordinary beasts still active in the spiritual land decreased.

Although ordinary beasts have no intelligence, they can sense some dangers.

In addition, the control range of Qi Hu's animal flute is limited, which has made it difficult for the two chefs to hunt recently.

It’s just that the territory of Jindou Mountain was disturbed too much by the previous battle, resulting in a shortage of ordinary beasts.

Qi Hu and Dadu had to move as close as possible to the territory of Shejing Ridge.

There are obviously more ordinary beasts over there than here.

But today Qi Hu and Dadu were not very lucky. After playing the flute several times, they only caught a few beasts.

then.

Qi Hu thought of a way. He walked with his big belly at the edge of the bamboo forest in the spiritual place and started playing the flute.

"woo"

Looking at a deer and a leopard coming towards the Snake Neck Ridge forest, the Toad Demon Dadu's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Brother Changwei, there are indeed a lot of beasts on the other side!"

"This way, we can go back just by coming a few more times."

Dadu said this as he rushed forward excitedly, and right there on the Snake Neck Ridge territory, he quickly killed the deer and leopard and put them into the storage space.

"hope so"

Qi Hu laughed and the two monsters continued to move forward.

I just don’t know if it’s the BUFF that Dadu mentioned, or if the two monsters are just unlucky today.

Next.

A few small animals were caught, but no large beasts such as deer, bears, cows, horses, etc. were seen.

"Brother Longtail, this won't work."

At this time, the Toad Demon Dadu looked at the sky and said, "If this continues, we will not have enough time to cook today's food. How about we go to Snake Neck Ridge to catch some? I saw a herd of deer in the forest far away over there before."

Hearing Dadu's words, Qi Hu was a little surprised and asked, "How dare you think of going to the Snake Neck Ridge to catch prey?"

Dadu: "Why should we be afraid? We have been here for so long, and we can't see any Snake Ridge cubs. We just need to be careful. Besides, if we don't go back, it will be too late to eat, and the leader will definitely blame us."

Qi Hu had the same idea. When he heard Dadu's words, he said without any further ado, "Let's go!"

talking.

The two monsters immediately walked carefully towards the Snake Neck Ridge area on the opposite side.

soon.

Qi Hu and the other man stopped in a patch of overgrown weeds and began to blow the animal flutes.

"woo"

The sound of animal flutes continued to spread.

soon.

A common wild bull came over with confused eyes.

The toad demon's big belly was immediately overjoyed. Without saying a word, he immediately went forward to kill the bison and put the food in.

Then he returned to Qi Hu and whispered excitedly: "Brother Changwei, one more cow will be enough!"

Dadu was right this time.

Not long after.

Another ordinary beast, a bison, came over.

Dadu went forward to kill him, and then Qi Hu went to collect the items, because the other party’s storage ability was full.

"Long Tail Brother"

There would definitely be enough food for the next three days, but there were many beasts here. Dadu knew that Qi Hu's storage ability was not full, so he was a little reluctant and asked, "Should we catch some more?"

"No!"

Qi Hu packed up the bison corpse and immediately shook his head: "This is not our territory. It's dangerous to stay here for too long. Let's go!"

Say it.

Qi Hu turned and left.

Dadu was reluctant but had no choice but to follow obediently.

But the two of them didn't take more than a few steps.

A voice suddenly rang out: "I was wondering why there were animal flute sounds here, it turns out they are two little monsters from Jindou Mountain, they are really brave!"

"whee."
