Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 73: Monkey head as wine, what a monster, what magical powers!
"Great success."

Watching the changes on the data panel in front of me.

Qi Hu then closed his eyes, secretly feeling the changes in the magical power "Breath Containment" in his mind.

A good while.

Then I opened my eyes.

"call"

He let out a breath.

Qi Hu was extremely satisfied.

The magical power of "retaining breath" has reached perfection.

The next time he goes to Chechi Kingdom, he will definitely not be as embarrassed as last time.

Although there is still a progress bar after the "Breath Containment" magical power has been promoted to the "Great Accomplishment" stage, it means that there is still room for improvement and to deeper and higher levels.

But Qi Hu temporarily stopped thinking about the higher level of "concealing one's breath".

It took him five points of soul power to go from minor success to major success. He didn't know how many more soul power points he would need to strengthen it further in the major success stage.

At this stage, "Restraining Breath" is already very powerful for him.

It feels great to just strengthen it temporarily.

But looking at the soul bar in front of him, the soul power that he had accumulated for so long was emptied in an instant, leaving only a pitiful 0.3 soul power points.

He couldn't help but sigh and started saving money again.

However, the sense of accomplishment and security that comes from becoming stronger little by little outweighs everything.

The melancholy feeling of having all my savings emptied out was crushed in an instant.

After carefully looking at the data representing his attributes and abilities.

Qi Hu then dispersed the panel.

Look up.

In front of the fire pit.

After busying himself around the fire pit, the ghost Liu Bin set up a cooking pot and did something unknown.

Qi Hu ignored him.

It was morning.

There is still some time before the evening party.

He planned to practice to pass the time.

He sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and practiced the "Moon Yin Eating Qi Method".

Soon, black spiritual power emerged from all around him, completely wrapping his body and rising around him.

Black spiritual power surrounds its body, with white spiritual power bursting and flickering from time to time. The black and white are alternating, very eye-catching and solemn.

When Qi Hu opened his eyes again.

It was already evening, dark and gloomy, and the cold wind was howling.

Inside the cave.

But the fragrance is everywhere.

"Master, you are awake."

Seeing Qi Hu wake up, the ghost Liu Bin was overjoyed and said, "I saw a lot of yams on the cliff outside, so I picked some and brought them back to cook a pot of soup for the master."

“Can you still recognize yams?”

Qi Hu was a little surprised to hear what the evil ghost Liu Bin said.

The ghost Liu Bin immediately smiled and said, "I only know those yams that can be used to make soup and eat. When I was working as a handyman in a restaurant, I dug those yams and sold them."

"Then I'll try it."

Qi Hu stood up, sniffed the fragrance filling the cave, and walked to the fire pit and the cooking pot. He took the big bowl handed to him by the ghost Liu Bin, took a look, and found that it was cooked with some roots, bones and meat. It tasted quite fragrant.

One entrance.

The broth has a mellow taste, with a hint of sweetness and a light medicinal flavor, it is really good.

"kindness"

"good."

I drank half a pot in a row.

Qi Hu put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Drink the rest when you come back. Come on, I'll take you to the monster banquet."

Say it.

Qi Hu waved his hand and took away the evil ghost Liu Bin.

Then he strode out of the cave.

The sky was dark, the wind was cold and the sky was covered with thick leaden clouds, which was a sign that it was going to snow.

before crossing.

Qi Hu is from the south, and there is no snow in the winter in his city.

But since coming here.

At first, it was quite rare to see snow.

But now, I've become accustomed to it.

Because here, once winter comes, there will be continuous snow and wind, which can last until the next spring.

Qi Hu rode the black cloud towards the top of the mountain.

The noisy sounds coming from the top of the mountain can be heard from far away.

There are now more than 200 monsters in Jindou Mountain alone. Add in Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge, and there will be even more monsters under his command.

He estimated that the three parties combined had at least seven or eight hundred monsters, and it was possible that there were thousands of them. After all, the battles between Black Bear Ridge and Black Wolf Valley were not as frequent as those between Golden Gourd Mountain and Snake Neck Ridge.

With so many monsters gathering together to dine and eat, the scene was absolutely lively.

that's the truth.

It has not yet reached the top of the mountain, but is close to the mountainside.

Qi Hu saw a large number of little demons busy in the forest.

Those who dig the stove, collect firewood, make fire, peel skins, remove organs, chop meat, and chat with each other
A large number of little monsters stretched from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, which also opened Qi Hu's eyes.

Fortunately, this main mountain is majestic and huge enough, otherwise so many monsters would not be able to show their abilities.

He simply flew over the forest for a long time.

After getting a glimpse of the whole picture, Qi Hu flew to the top of the mountain, found where his elder and second brothers were, which was also the place where the little monsters under his command gathered, and landed there.

"Leader."

"Leader."

"Third brother."

"Third brother."

The busy monsters around immediately shouted happily when they saw Qi Hu.

"Nothing happened, right?"

After glancing around, Qi Hu looked at the big-horned creature with long teeth and spoke.

Qi Hu basically left all the trivial matters to his elder and second brothers.

It's the same this time.

The big leader Niu Er is in charge of this banquet, and Changya Dajiao will represent him and directly liaise with Niu Er.

With Qi Hu behind them, no one would underestimate the two men, Chang Ya and Da Jiao.

"fine."

The eldest brother Changya immediately smiled and said, "Since we went up the mountain, ever since we heard that the king would hold a banquet, we have been looking forward to it. I finally waited for it tonight, hehe."

“That’s it.”

Qi Hu smiled and said, "Brother, don't expect too much. At the beginning of tonight, there will be some blood food, but later it will be all beast meat. The wine is also limited, so don't even think about having a good time. It's better than what you and I usually have."

Hearing Qi Hu say this, Chang Ya of course believed it.

If you think about it carefully, ever since the third brother became the leader, his and the second brother's living conditions have taken a sharp turn for the better. Not only do they not have to perform tasks like other little monsters, they can also often eat monster blood food, and now they can even drink alcohol often, which is the wine that only leaders are qualified to drink, and it is bought from the human kingdom.

This was something he had never dared to think about before. Even this banquet in front of him was something he had been thinking about day and night and looking forward to, but now after hearing what his third brother said, he felt that it was just like that, not as good as when he usually ate and drank with his third brother.

"Will not"

Hearing what his third brother said, Changya shook his head and laughed: "No matter whether it's good or bad, at least there's something to eat, it's a good deal, hehe"

"That's true"

Hearing Changya's words, Qi Hu immediately laughed and said, "Brother, this is a great idea, but there are so many monsters eating together this time, it's more lively than ever before."

"Third brother."

At this time, Da Jiao came over and said, "Why are there so many monsters over there? We heard they are from Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge. Why are they here too?"

The Black Wolf Valley and the Black Bear Demon have been approved to join the Golden Dou Mountain. Qi Hu asked directly: "Do you remember the sound we heard this morning?"

"Remember."

Big Horn and Long Fang nodded immediately.

Qi Hu: "The kings of Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge came to surrender to our king. The king has agreed. Now they are also monsters of our Jindou Mountain, so they can come to our banquet."

"You can tell the younger ones below about this. Don't be hostile to them, but don't be afraid of them either."

“If there’s a conflict, just deal with it.”

"Notify me when you're done."

Hearing what his third brother said, Chang Ya immediately laughed and said, "I will."

He simply talked to his elder and second brothers about some things, and then looked at the situation of the monsters under his command.

Qi Hu then flew towards the top of the mountain.

Forest on the edge of the mountain top.

The two leaders, Da Ge and Man Gu, have already arrived and are standing together chatting.

rear.

In the open space outside Jindou Cave.

Several little demons were busy there, using cross-sections sawed directly from the trunk of the giant tree as wooden tables and placing them directly on the spacious open space. There were as many as twenty or thirty of them.

The four long wooden tables placed above a number of simple wooden tables are much more formal. They were all bought from the human kingdom.

The wooden table at the top is the largest and longest, and it must belong to the One-Horned Rhinoceros King.

The three cards below are smaller and correspond to the three generals.

"Qishan Jun"

“Long tail.”

When Qi Hu arrived, Da Ge and Man Gu immediately greeted him.

Niu Er and Shi She are not here, they must be busy at this time.

With more monsters from Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge, they probably won’t stop until the banquet starts.

"How about it."

Qi Hu asked as soon as he landed: "Have you seen our colleagues from Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge?"

“They are all over there.”

Man Gu pointed to a forest below and said, "We will probably come together soon."

Qi Hu looked in the direction of Man Gu's finger and said again: "We are the only five leaders now. They should have more than us, right?"

The big guy nodded: "Of course, they don't have the same hatred as we had with Snake Neck Ridge before, and they haven't fought as many battles with Snake Neck Ridge as we did. I just don't know how many there are exactly?"

Man Gu smiled and said, "That's easy, we'll know when they get here."

The three demons were chatting.

Time passed quickly.

Soon.

The sky became completely dark.

But tonight.

The forest was brightly lit and noisy.

Outside the Jindou Cave not far away.

There are simple wooden tables in the middle.

On the open space on both sides, several large fire pits were dug and simple stoves were built. On top of each stove was a large grill, and on top of each grill was a bloody monster that had been plucked, skinned, and gutted.

In front of each stove and grill, there are dozens of little demons busy working.

At this time.

The silhouette of the snake-eating creature flew over from afar.

Qi Hu San Yao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately asked, "How is it going?" The Snake said, "Almost done."

Not long after he finished speaking.

The big leader Niu Er has also arrived.

Soon.

Two groups of monsters flew up from the forest below.

There are nine in one group, ten in another group
Each monster was wearing iron armor and had a powerful aura that far surpassed that of ordinary monsters. They were obviously leaders in the spiritual realm.

"That group is from Black Wolf Valley"

Niu Er pointed at the group of nine monsters and said to his colleague beside him, then looked at the other group of ten: "That group is from Black Bear Ridge."

As expected, there were nine leaders in Black Wolf Valley and ten in Black Bear Ridge.

There are far more than the five leaders of Jindou Mountain.

The two groups of leading monsters flew to the top of the mountain and gathered together, with no intention of approaching to chat.

The five leaders of Jindou Mountain, who thought they had higher status, naturally would not take the initiative to step forward.

A group of leading monsters were waiting in the forest at the edge of the mountain top.

In the middle banquet area.

The little demons on both sides began to serve the roasted blood food to the table one after another.

But the king and the general did not come.

Naturally, the leaders did not dare to come to the table.

Didn't have to wait long.

Three figures walked out of the Jindou Cave. They were the three generals.

At last.

The One-horned Rhinoceros King, who had a single horn on his forehead and was tall in stature, also came out.

Seeing that the big leader Niu Er was indifferent.

Qi Hu took a step forward and immediately saluted, saying, "Your Majesty!"

He saluted.

Beside him, the leaders of the Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge immediately followed suit and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

"well."

The unicorn looked at Qi Hu, the tiger demon who was leading the group and performing outstandingly, and then glanced at the other leading demons, and said with a cheerful smile: "Everyone, please take a seat."

talking.

The one-horned rhinoceros strode to the top table and sat down.

The king sat down.

The three generals then walked to their respective seats and sat down.

The generals sat down.

Only then did the leading monsters dare to step forward.

As a native of Jindou Mountain, Heijiao is the first general, and his drinking table is also in a separate row, opposite to Duanya and Lao Wen.

Qi Hu and Niu Er walked directly to the wooden table below their general and sat down.

There are many leaders in Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge, so we can only sit together.

The order of seats at the table also indicates status.

this time.

Qi Hu sat directly below the big leader Niu Er, and above Da Ge and Man Gu.

Just as the monsters were sitting down.

The entrance of Jindou Cave.

Another group of beautiful female demons walked out, some of them were tall, some were plump, some were petite, and some were coquettish. There were five of them in total.

The three strange female demons were probably contributed by the two generals from Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge.

The unicorn did not eat alone, and ordered two female demons.

Let the remaining three female demons accompany his three generals, just one for each general.

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

The three generals saluted in unison.

Hei Jiao then called out, "Bring some wine."

The dinner party began.

After all the monsters toasted the king, they began to drink.

Qi Hu grabbed the round thing and started biting it, but as he was biting it, he suddenly felt something was wrong. After taking a closer look, he found out that it was a monkey head.

"The more you drink, the more you will have."

This sentence suddenly popped up in his mind. Qi Hu laughed and shook his head, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

in the following time.

The banquet went on as usual.

Qi Hu didn't do anything surprising.

But logically speaking.

In addition to toasting the King and General Black Horn, he also wants to toast the two generals from Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge.

But his own general hated them both.

Qi Hu naturally wouldn't ask for trouble.

The remaining time.

Nothing unexpected happened at the banquet.

However, the little demons who were having a meal in the forest below cheered loudly.

It turned out that some little demons started fighting while drinking.

then.

All the little demons who started a fight were captured and taken to the open space next to the banquet venue on the top of the mountain and ordered to continue fighting there.

The little demon who was rewarded with wine naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only continue fighting.

The One-horned Rhinoceros King, the three generals and a group of leaders were enjoying the fight between the little monsters while drinking.

Because the two little demons who were asked to fight had to fight until one of them was completely unable to resist.

then.

The banquet lasted until the early hours of the morning.

There were six little demons who were beaten to death.

The big monsters on the top of the mountain were delighted.

But the little demons below didn't dare to fight anymore.

The cocktail party lasted until dawn the next day at the hour of Yin, when it began to gradually disperse.

When Qi Hu returned to his cave on the cliff.

It's already morning time.

Five days after the banquet.

The sky rarely clears up.

General Black Horn did not lead the group of monsters to migrate to Snake Neck Ridge as he had said before.

Qi Hu didn't care either.

Take advantage of the nice weather.

In a nearby forest covered with thick snow, he summoned all the little demons under his command.

Just like ten years ago, he set up a big pot, but this time there were two.

There were large pieces of meat being cooked in the pot, along with plenty of side dishes and spices. When the mountain breeze blew, the aroma spread for miles, tempting the little demons below to drool.

Yes.

Ten years have passed since I last learned supernatural powers.

Qi Hu is preparing to collect new magical powers.

This time, the henchman Liu Bin was the chef, with Changya and Dajiao helping him.

Qi Hu looked at the monsters below.

He originally had more than sixty monsters under his command. Six or seven of them died during the battle at Snake Neck Ridge, and another one was killed at the banquet five days ago.

Yes, among the five little demons who were killed at the previous banquet, one was under Qi Hu’s command.

There were only about fifty left.

Qi Hu stood at the top, his eyes swept across the monsters below, and his eyes quickly set his sights on one of them, so he pointed and said, "That short guy, the one in full armor, is you, come up!"

The little demon that was targeted was not tall, only five feet, about one meter forty-five, but he was covered in armor, the dark kind, especially the two back armors, which were extremely thick and could definitely withstand the blows of ordinary iron weapons.

This little demon looked a bit like the cockroach demon he had once glimpsed, but its color, appearance, and the antennae on its head all indicated that this little demon was not a cockroach.

Another unknown monster.
Often these little monsters would bring some surprises. Qi Hu had already gained experience by choosing magical powers.

Watching the little demon covered in black approaching with excitement and nervousness.

Qi Hu immediately smelled a bad odor.

Most monsters have a smell, but most of them have a fishy smell.

Qi Hu had long been accustomed to it.

But the little demon in front of him is different. The smell on him is more like the smell of poop and shit.

Yes, it smells like shit.

Qi Hu had a very sharp sense of smell and he smelled it immediately.

"What kind of monster are you?"

When Xiao Yao walked up to him nervously, Qi Hu opened his mouth and asked.

"Small. Small is."

The little demon, who was covered in black armor, looked nervous and stuttered a little.

But before he could finish his words, a little demon below immediately started to shout, "Leader, he is a dung pusher."

“He is a dung pusher.”

“He is a “shit-stewed bull.”

Qi Hu finally heard the continuous booing of the little demons below, combined with the appearance of the little demons in front of him.

He quickly realized that the little monster was actually a dung beetle, a dung beetle that had turned into a spirit!

The booing made the little demon in front of him even more nervous.

Qi Hu then raised his hand, and the little demons below immediately quieted down. The little demon in front of him finally told his race, and he said his name was "Zhiguniu".

Qi Hu didn’t understand what a squeaky cow was, but he knew that this little monster was a dung beetle.

"Come on, relax."

This kind of monster is quite rare, and Qi Hu is very curious about its innate magical powers, so he gently gives guidance.

When it comes to learning magical powers, the dung beetle demon, who has reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm, naturally understands it.

soon.

Qi Hu placed his hand on the shoulder of the little demon in front of him and used his spiritual sense to feel it.

After a few breaths.

Qi Hu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Freeze."

"Immobilization Technique!"

When Qi Hu realized that the little demon had a natural ability, which was exactly the same as his own immobilization technique, he immediately learned it.

Watching the virtual prompt data flashing before my eyes.

Qi Hu's mood suddenly improved, and he looked at the little demon in front of him and said gently: "What's your name?"

"Report to the leader"

The dung beetle demon immediately said excitedly: "Little one. Little one is called Black Face."

“Black face.”

Qi Hu smiled and nodded: "This is a good name, let's go and eat meat."

"Yes"

The dung beetle called Black-faced ran over excitedly.

Qi Hu was secretly feeling the power of his newfound "immobilization" ability.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in my mind. This little dung beetle demon has become a demon with a black face. I don’t know if he still likes to eat poop.
