Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 33 Luck【4K】

Looking at the old man in a straw raincoat who appeared out of nowhere and was fishing with a bamboo pole.

Qi Hu's pupils shrank suddenly, but he reacted immediately and bowed again, saying: "I, the little demon, thank you for saving my life, old immortal."

"okay."

“Just remember it.”

The old man in the straw raincoat spoke without turning his head, waving his hand and saying, "Go, don't disturb my fish."

"Yes"

Qi Hu suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and bowed again very honestly.

Although the old man didn't tell him how to leave.

He still had some guesses, so after paying his respects, he immediately turned around and walked towards the back.

Walk step by step through the green grass swaying in the breeze.

etc.
Grass swaying?

Where does the wind come from?
Even now Qi Hu couldn't feel a trace of wind, but he could remember.

As soon as the old man appeared, the surrounding world began to move and come alive.

He immediately turned his head to look again.

There was no old man in straw raincoat and straw hat by the river just now; it was completely empty.

Even though the scene he just saw with the old man seemed like a dream.

But the dream was too real.

Qi Hu didn't dare to show any disrespect, nor did he dare to stay any longer. He turned around and walked step by step towards the dark forest ahead.

Not long after.

Qi Hu, limping, walked to the edge of the dark forest and green grassland and stopped.

This time he did not look back, but looked at the wound on his injured calf. The wound was still hideous, but it had formed a blood scab and was no longer bleeding. The entire foot from the calf down was stained blood.

Then he felt that his spiritual and physical strength had only slightly recovered.

Qi Hu's mind moved slightly, and a small piece of Polygonatum sibiricum, which looked like wild ginger, bright yellow in color and exuded a medicinal fragrance, immediately appeared in his hand.

This is a four-year-old magical medicine Polygonatum sibiricum, one of the three magical medicines in Qi Hu's storage magic "cheek pouch", and it was also obtained by the eldest and second brothers while patrolling the mountains.

Before this, Qi Hu had never eaten any elixir because it was too precious.

But there is no way now.

He didn't know whether the female snake demon leader of Snake Neck Ridge would be waiting for him outside when he went out.

But the old man spoke, and he had to go out.

But since the old man brought him in and saved his life, he wouldn't let him go out and meet the female snake demon leader.

But despite this, he still had to be as prepared as possible.

After all, he is still in the territory of Snake Neck Ridge.

After carefully examining the elixir in his hand, Qi Hu opened his mouth and stuffed the Polygonatum odoratum into it.

"kindness"

“The taste is not good.”

"But the spiritual energy is so rich that it's like eating a block of spiritual energy."

Qi Hu finally tasted the elixir.

Although the taste is not that great, the effect is really great!

Feeling the spiritual energy that had been exhausted in the body quickly replenishing.

Qi Hu couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder the elixir is so precious. Just based on the fact that it can be swallowed directly to quickly replenish spiritual power, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most precious thing in the world.

Even blood food, which is also known as a walking elixir, is inferior to it.

Although blood food also contains spiritual power, the spiritual power in the blood food comes from the blood-eating monster itself. The spiritual power will have certain attributes of the original monster and is slightly complex. After eating it, it needs to be refined through the practice of martial arts before it can completely belong to you.

However, the spiritual power in it cannot be as pure as that in spiritual medicine and cannot be directly replenished and used.

I feel that the condition inside my body has improved a lot.

Qi Hu didn't dare to delay any longer. He took a deep breath and stepped into the forest.

For an instant.

The surrounding world suddenly changed.

Qi Hu was already in the vast mountain forest.

Looking at the surrounding mountains and forests, the ground was deeply plowed to destroy the weeds and thorns, the sand and soil were turned up, there were small deep pits that were pierced by the huge force, and there were also the inconspicuous spots of bright red blood scattered on the ground.

Qi Hu reacted immediately. This was the battlefield where he had struggled hard to survive the fight against the female snake demon leader of Snake Neck Ridge!
This is still the territory of Snake Neck Ridge, and it is still the same location as before.

However, the female snake demon leader disappeared.

Qi Hu reacted quickly and immediately bent down and hid behind a towering tree. He carefully looked around and after confirming the location of the sacred bamboo forest in his own Jindou Mountain, he transformed into his true form as a big tiger.

Then he walked quickly and quietly towards the direction of the sacred bamboo forest.

This time.

Qi Hu walked and stopped from time to time. Once he noticed any unusual noises outside and the risk of being discovered, he would immediately stop and hide.

that's it.

It won't take long.

Qi Hu touched the edge of his own spiritual land, then stepped into the towering bamboo forest and headed towards the camp deep in the spiritual land.

Just when Qi Hu fled back to the Jindou Mountain territory.

Above the Jindou Mountain Range.

On a white cloud, a middle-aged Taoist priest in a blue robe with a golden streak and holding a whisk was looking at the tiger demon in the bamboo forest below and said expressionlessly, "It is a little demon with some luck. Let's see if it can be used."

Qi Hu naturally didn't know that he was being watched by the gods above the spiritual land.

After returning to the bamboo forest of Jindou Mountain, he walked towards the camp deep in the forest without stopping.

"Third brother."

"Third brother."

Suddenly, he heard shouting coming from the forest ahead.

He was very familiar with that voice, it was the voice of his eldest brother Changya and his second brother Dajiao.

It was already past noon.

The feeding time has passed.

My eldest and second brothers must not have noticed that I came out to look for them.

Realizing this, Qi Hu's originally tense nerves couldn't help but relax a little, and his heart suddenly felt a little warm. He immediately walked quickly towards the sound.

"Second brother, where did third brother and the others go?"

The elephant demon Longfang waved the axe in his hand, cutting the grass and trees in front of him, and spoke anxiously.

"Today is the day when my third brother and the toad demon Dadu went out hunting. The two of them disappeared together. They must have gone somewhere to hunt."

At this point, the deer demon Big Horn frowned and said, "But in the past, Third Brother and his companions never delayed cooking and feeding. Now it's past noon and they haven't come back yet. Either they went too far to hunt, or something happened!"

"And with Third Brother's intelligence, he would definitely not forget the cooking time. I guess something must have happened to them!"

Hearing what his second brother said, Changya's face became even more anxious and he said, "Hey, I don't know what happened to my third brother. The kids in Snake Neck Ridge didn't respond, and the leader and the others refused to help us look for him."

"Why would the leader help us find our third brother?"

Hearing his elder brother's anxious and somewhat out-of-control words, Da Jiao shook his head and said, "They."

But the words are not finished yet.

I saw a huge white-browed tiger with a body length of nearly eight meters, with bright orange and black stripes all over its body, walking out from the tall weeds in the distance ahead. It looked ferocious and majestic.

"Why does this guy look a bit like my third brother?"

Looking at the big tiger appearing in the distance, Changya couldn't help but murmur subconsciously.

On the side, Da Jiao saw the big tiger and said with great joy: "Third brother, I finally found you!"

"Third brother."

Hearing the excited voice of the second brother beside him, Changya also reacted immediately. The guy who was walking over didn't look like the third brother at all. He was the third brother, just a lot bigger. "Third brother!"

"Third brother."

The two brothers immediately stepped forward. Changya looked at Qi Hu, who had transformed back into a half-demon, and said, "Where have you been? You haven't cooked lunch yet, and the leader is already angry."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Da Jiao, who was cautious and careful by nature, immediately noticed the abnormality on Qi Hu's foot and immediately said, "Third brother, what happened to you? Why is your foot injured like this?"

After hearing what the second brother said, Chang Ya immediately saw Qi Hu's injured foot and immediately asked anxiously: "Who did this? How dare you hurt the third brother!"

Facing the concern of two brothers.

Qi Hu shook his head and said, "Let's go back first, and we'll talk while we walk."

on the way back.

Qi Hu began to tell the story of how he and the toad demon Dadu accidentally stepped into the territory of Snake Neck Ridge while hunting and encountered the female snake demon leader of Snake Neck Ridge.

Apart from being rescued by the mysterious old man in straw raincoat and fishing, Qi Hu even told the story of his advancement to the late stage of Qi Ling Realm last night.

Anyway, there is nothing to hide and it cannot be hidden.

However, he said that the two people entered Snake Neck Ridge intentionally but accidentally.

In this way, when he appeared in front of the two leaders, he was right.

When the two brothers heard that Qi Hu had advanced to the late stage of the Qi Ling Realm, they were happy but not surprised, after all, it had been mentioned before.

However, Qi Hu and the toad demon Dadu mistakenly entered the territory of Snake Neck Ridge and encountered the leader of Snake Neck Ridge, the snake demon. In the end, they were able to escape with their lives from the snake demon leader.

This really shocked Changya and Dajiao.

But at this time, my third brother was in a terrible state and was seriously injured, so it was not easy to ask more questions.

Dajiao immediately became concerned about the situation of the Toad Demon that he had not heard of just now, and asked, "Third brother, where is that big belly? How is he now?"

"Big belly."

Hearing his second brother mention the Toad Demon, Qi Hu shook his head: "The situation was too critical at the time. I didn't have time to think too much. I could only try my best to escape. How could I care about anything else?"

"But I almost didn't manage to escape from the snake demon leader. I'm afraid Dadu has been captured a long time ago."

"As for now, I don't know."

He is telling the truth.

The situation was so urgent.

If it weren't for the mysterious old man in the straw raincoat who saved him, he himself didn't know what would have happened to him now.

However, considering that his foot was already injured when he was rescued by the old man, if it weren't for the old man, he estimated that he would most likely not have been able to escape. Now he might have fallen into the hands of the snake demon leader just like Dadu.

"Third brother, then..."

Changya wanted to ask something else.

However, Da Jiao saw the tired look of the third brother and interrupted the eldest brother and said, "Go back first and talk to the leader first."

After being interrupted by the second brother, Changya finally reacted and said nothing more.

The three brothers headed towards the camp together.

Half an hour later.

The three brothers finally returned to the camp.

The monsters in the camp who had not yet taken their turn to patrol heard that the cook Qi Hu had returned and surrounded him.

The two leaders, Man Gu and Snake Eater, who lived in the cave behind the camp, also came out quickly.

Qi Hu stepped forward and told him everything he had said before in front of his elder and second brothers, and also showed the injury on his calf.

After listening to Qi Hu's words.

The snake-eating leader frowned slightly and said, "It seems that the big belly must have been captured by the snake demon."

"Humph"

The Bone Leader snorted coldly and said gloomily, "If the king hadn't told us not to cause trouble, I would have taught those kids from Snake Neck Ridge a lesson!"

Done.

Man Gu turned his head to look at Qi Hu who was standing beside him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Changwei, you are pretty good! I know who that snake demon woman is, she is quite powerful. You are really smart to escape from her!"

"I remember you were only in the early stage a few months ago, but now you are in the late stage, which is very good. Leader, I am very optimistic about you."

"But the little toad has been caught by Snake Neck Ridge, and there are no other cooks here, so you have to cook today."

As he spoke, Man Gu pointed to the monsters watching nearby and said, "Pick one and I'll be your assistant."

Guessing this would happen, Qi Hu had thought of asking his eldest and second brothers to help him and naturally take Dadu's place.

But before he could open his mouth, a monster beside him said, "Chief, I watch them cook every day, I can help!"

The one who made the noise was a rat demon named Hu Zichang.

After the last battle, except for the three brothers Qi Hu who had experience in patrolling the territory, and they themselves were subordinates of Lord Man Gu, they were able to come to the spiritual land again.

The other little demons that came over were all in the late stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm.

Therefore, the rat demon's beard is as long as the toad demon's big belly, and it is also the late stage of the Qi Ling realm.

This was also because the rat demon often came to watch and help when Qi Hu and the toad demon were cooking.

So the monster asked himself and recommended himself.

Qi Hu really didn't know what to say for a moment.

Man Guts Leader had also noticed the figure of the rat demon helping out at the stove before. The other party's words at this time were just what he wanted, so he nodded and said, "Then it's you, what's your name?"

"Report to the leader"

The rat demon immediately replied, "My name is Hu Zichang."

"kindness"

Man Gu nodded: "Then it's you, Hu Zi is long, from now on you will help Chang Wei and listen to his orders. Also, you don't have to patrol the mountains anymore."

Man Gu looked at Qi Hu again and said, "Cook something for them first, and then get some food to go with the wine. The hearts, livers and organs from last time will be good. Hurry up."

Done.

The two leaders, Man Gu and Shi Snake, turned and walked towards the cave behind.

Qi Hu greeted the rat demon with a long beard.

Then he walked towards the stove.

soon.

Come to the stove.

Qi Hu casually threw out the bull demon that he had captured from the Snake Neck Ridge, and said, "Bearded man, you've seen this before. Dig up this bull, don't take its intestines, but don't throw away its heart, liver and internal organs. Do you know how to do it? I don't need to teach you, do you?"

"no, I'm fine."

The rat demon with a long beard answered immediately and started to operate skillfully with his hands.

He used to come to help often in order to learn secretly so that he could become a cook in the future.

Although he had thought before that if the toad monster got big, he could become a cook.

But he really didn't expect that something would actually happen to Dadu, and so quickly.

As for why he didn't want to think of the tiger demon Changwei Ga, it was naturally because that guy's cooking skills were too high and he thought he could not compare with him.

If the other party died, he would not be able to make such a delicious soup. What's more, if the tiger demon died, he would have no place to learn the tiger demon's cooking skills.

Now, not only did he become a cook, but he also didn't have to patrol the mountains anymore. It was simply great.

Qi Hu naturally didn't know that the rat demon's hands were busy and his mind was constantly wandering.

He just sat there and kept giving orders.

More than half an hour later.

A big pot of beef bone soup is hot from the oven.

Just as a group of monsters were lining up to be fed.

Several monsters covered in blood rushed into the camp, yelling, "Captain, the monsters from Snake Neck Ridge are breaking in!"

"Captain, the monsters from Snake Neck Ridge have broken in."
