Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 75: The strength has increased greatly, and the car is late and in danger!
The summer clouds are dispersing,
A cool breeze blows.

When the last bit of heat in late summer disappears with a cool rain.

The Jindou Mountain Range has also ushered in another autumn.

early morning.

There was still a chill in the air.

East of the main mountain,

The edge of the cliff.

Inside a spacious cave with an unobstructed gate.

Waves of warmth were coming from the cave.

Not far from the open door of the cave, there was a large fire pit with a burning firewood.

Above the firewood pit, there was a large wooden frame, on which hung a large cooking pot. In the pot, a delicious soup made from a mixture of purple wild onions, green wild vegetables, and red fruits began to boil with a rich aroma.

Next to the big fire pit.

A short, slightly blurry human figure was busy in front of a cooking pot, constantly adding seasonings to the pot that was beginning to boil.

Behind the cave.

deep.

On a cloud bed padded with animal skins.

There sat a tall figure, his entire body shrouded, surrounded, and surrounded by endless strands of black spiritual energy.

At this time.

The black spiritual power suddenly stopped circling and sank into the five orifices of the tall figure.

immediately.

The monster with a tiger head and a human body wrapped in animal skin woke up from meditation and opened his eyes.

"call"

A long, hot breath was exhaled.

The tiger demon sniffed the fragrance in the air.

Thoughts moved slightly.

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

This tiger monster is naturally Qi Hu who traveled through time.

In addition to the fragrance, I can smell the fresh scent of grass, trees and soil in the air.

Qi Hu couldn't help but sigh.

It's autumn again.

More than twenty years had passed since the autumn when he first traveled through time.

Twenty years
How many twenty years can one have in life?
Of course, this is for the human race who had a short lifespan in his previous life, and for him in his previous life.

For him now.

Twenty years doesn’t seem like a long time.

He meditated, practiced his magical powers, and had a drink with his two sworn brothers and other leaders and colleagues of the Jindou Mountain. He just spent his time like that.

Of course, there is no need to mention the twists and turns, they are just embellishments.

However, compared to others, you may gradually forget your past life.

But for Qi Hu.

Although every time I think of my past life and recall everything about it, it gradually begins to feel like a long time ago.

But the memories, fragments and images of past lives in my mind are becoming clearer and clearer.

He will not forget, and dare not forget.

He was afraid that if he forgot his past life, he would forget the poor but happy cowherd, horse and fisherman, and forget his true self.

"call"

He let out a breath.

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

Qi Hu shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

[Realm: Late Spiritual Realm (0.14%)]

【Soul: 1.2】

[Kung Fu: Moon Yin Qi Eating Method (Minor Success) (98.16%); Kan Si Praying for Rain Method (Proficient) (0.1%)]

【神通：敛息（大成）（2.45%）；颊囊（小成）（73.16%）；隐遁（小成）（11.43%）；虎啸（小成）（4.93%）；伥鬼（小成）（0.12%）；定身（熟练）（27.12%）；灵巧（熟练）（19.88%）；地行（熟练）（13.21%）；假蜕（熟练）（9.35%）；巨力（熟练）（3.28%）；淬骨（熟练）（2.21%）；践踏（熟练）（1.66%）】

【.】

Looking at the data in front of me and the words behind the realm column.

Qi Hu's face was calm.

Unlike ten years ago, when he was promoted from the early stage of the Spiritual Realm to the middle stage, the progress bar was stuck at 99.99%, and there was no progress at all for more than half a month.

In the past ten years, except for occasionally when he practiced for too long and felt bored, he would go to the big guys with long teeth and horns and the big snake-eating bones to lead his colleagues for a drink.

The rest of the time, he basically stayed quietly in the cave and practiced meditation.

Ten years of training, plus the large amount of blood from monster corpses that he had earned, were all used up.

This combination of internal and external factors also steadily improved his own cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of the spiritual realm, and just a few days ago, he seamlessly and smoothly advanced to the late stage of the spiritual realm.

There are no longer the obscure obstacles like those in the previous promotion from the early stage to the middle stage.

In this regard.

Qi Hu was also very clear in his mind.

The reason why he was able to break through the small bottleneck in the mid-term and advance to the late stage so smoothly.

That should be related to his trip to the human world ten years ago, where he visited the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang and the Kingdom of Chechi.

That trip back.

He clearly felt that he had undergone significant changes in his own cultivation, fighting, spirit, knowledge and vision.

He can feel it himself.

Now, the reward for the several months of journey is in the form of cultivation.

It can be regarded as the end of all hardships.

Of course, there are hardships, twists and turns, and dangers encountered during the journey.
Only Qi Hu knows.

But it's all worth it.

Now he has advanced to the late stage of spiritual realm.

The entire Jindou Mountain lineage, that is, the original Jindou Mountain lineage, among the six leaders.
In the past ten years, in addition to the big leaders Niu Er, Da Ge, Man Gu, Shi She and Qi Hu, another leader was born. He was a rat demon named Hu Zichang.

Yes, it was more than 20 years ago, when Shejing Ridge had not yet been destroyed and Qi Hu was still working as a cook in the Lingdi Bamboo Forest.

The rat demon who helped him in the kitchen had a long beard.

Three years ago, the other party broke through the Qi Ling realm and advanced to the Tong Ling realm, becoming the sixth leader monster of the Jindou Mountain's direct lineage.

Among the six leaders.

Qi Hu’s cultivation level has now caught up with the leader Niu Er.

However, the title of the big leader is only known among the direct lineage of Jindou Mountain.

The monsters in Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge would not recognize it.

Because there are two leaders in the late spiritual realm in Black Wolf Valley, and there is also one in Black Bear Ridge.

The three monsters from Jindou Mountain, Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge were very obedient and honest in front of the king.

But they competed with each other in private.

When the generals in Yuandan realm cannot take action.

The Jindou Mountain lineage, which has the fewest leader monsters, naturally suffers the most.

Among them, the Black Wolf Valley, which initially had nine monster leaders and two leaders in the late spiritual realm, seemed to have the most advantage.

Black Bear Ridge, which has ten leaders, is slightly inferior.

There were only five leaders at the beginning. Even with the rat demon with a long beard who was promoted later, there were only six leaders in the Jindou Mountain, which was apparently the weakest.

However, because they are the direct descendants of Jindou Mountain and they also destroyed Snake Neck Ridge, they are also the earliest Jindou Mountain monsters to follow the One-horned Rhinoceros King and are the most powerful.

therefore.

The direct descendants of the monsters in Jindou Mountain look down on the monsters in Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge, saying that they are surrenderists and cowards.

The people from Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge also cursed Jindou Mountain for having to rely on the king, and without the king they couldn't even defeat Snake Neck Ridge.

There were also constant quarrels between the Black Wolf Valley and the Black Bear Ridge because of the little demon picking elixirs, because of the differences in the hills, and because of the old scores between the two sides before they surrendered and joined the Golden Pouch Mountain.

In short.

The three generals above refused to give in or ease the tension, and some even added fuel to the fire.

The conflicts between the monsters under the command of the three generals became increasingly fierce.

The little demons fight with each other too often.

From time to time, the leader monster can also do some fighting.

This also caught the attention of the One-horned Rhinoceros King, who had been hiding in the Jindou Cave, drinking, eating meat, and playing with banshees.

It’s just that the One-horned Rhinoceros King doesn’t want to cause trouble or expand.

But it doesn't mean that the three generals under his command can play the game of reconciliation.

He just wanted to watch the fun.

After all, if you eat too much wine and eat too much meat and play with the banshees too much, it will inevitably become boring.

then.

The One-horned Rhinoceros King gave an order.

The three generals quickly came up with a plan.

It’s all about competition and fighting!

Let the monsters from the three small hills who have conflicts with each other fight in public until the other side admits defeat, regardless of life or death.

Not only the little monsters below have to go up, but even the leader has to go up.

This is how Qi Hu got the 1.2 soul powers in the soul bar in front of him.

It was the autumn five years ago.

Now five years have passed.

The second three-way monster competition is just around the corner.

Qi Hu's advancement to the late stage of the spiritual realm will greatly enhance the prestige of the Jindou Mountain's direct lineage.

And if a monster causes trouble for him this time, monsters of the same level as those in Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge will have to appear.

Back to the topic. Under the realm column.

The source of 1.2 of the 0.9 soul powers came from the first competition five years ago, when Qi Hu came out because the little monster below was beaten and killed a leader monster in the middle stage of the spiritual realm from the Black Wolf Valley.

That competition came out.

Qi Hu knew that Jindou Mountain, Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge had not completely stopped fighting, they had just changed their way of fighting.

Under the soul power column.

Over the years, the "Moon Yin Eating Qi Method" has finally reached its peak.

There was no change in the "Kansi True Method of Praying for Rain", and Qi Hu did not try it rashly.

As for the supernatural power column below.

The changes are quite big.

Because in the past ten years, in addition to practicing meditation, Qi Hu spent the most time and effort practicing these supernatural powers.

All magical powers have a certain degree of growth.

Of course, the emphasis is different.

For magical powers like "Breath Containment", "Cheek Pouch", "Invisibility" and "Tiger Roar", the progress is above minor success. There is a certain increase, but not much.

The cheek pouches did grow quite a bit, but because they were used so frequently, there was no need for deliberate practice.

And the magical power of "ghosts".
Qi Hu deliberately improved his proficiency to the minor success stage.

In addition, his cultivation has greatly increased and he has been promoted to the later stage.

He is now able to command both Hongye, a female snake demon's lackey in the middle stage of the leader's life, and Xiong Er, a lackey in the early stage of the leader's life, at the same time, which makes it much easier than it was ten years ago.

The four new magical powers, "Immobilization", "Agility", "Earth Walking" and "False Metamorphosis", which he acquired ten years ago, have been the focus of his practice in the past ten years, and he has now mastered them to a proficient level.

There are also three magical powers, "Giant Strength", "Bone Tempering" and "Trampling", which have been obtained for a long time but have a lower priority.
Qi Hudu specially spent some time to master them all to the proficient stage.

It can be said.

Compared to ten years ago when Snake Neck Ridge was conquered, Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge surrendered one after another, and the four new magical powers were acquired.

Qi Hu's current strength has increased a lot.

In addition, there is the precious Frost Axe in his storage magic. "Frost" is the name given to the axe by Qi Hu, and the precious "Zhenling" gold seal.

Now if there was a Yuandan realm monster in front of him.

He even dared to try stroking the other's tiger whiskers.

Qi Hu's current body, which had a beast head and a human body, and was half a demon, had also broken through four meters in height, reaching about four meters and twenty-three.

He is taller than the direct descendants of Jindou Mountain, and the big leader Niu Er, who is under the command of General Hei, is even taller than Niu Er, who is four meters tall. He is on par with the only deer monster leader in the late spiritual realm under the command of General Lao Wen of Black Bear Ridge, who is also the tallest half-demon leader among all the monster leaders in Jindou Mountain.

Moreover, the deer demon relied on the huge antlers on his head.

Let’s talk about real height!
Qi Hu is obviously better now.

But these changes.

Except Qi Hu himself.

And the One-horned Rhinoceros King in the Golden Gourd Cave must know about it. After all, nothing in the entire Golden Gourd Mountain can be hidden from the One-horned Rhinoceros, unless the other party does not want to know and has no interest.

As for General Heijiao, although he doesn’t live on the main mountain now, he lives next to the main mountain.

Qi Hu had no idea whether he knew about it or not.

Except for these two.

The other monsters definitely don’t know.

Because since advancing to the late stage five days ago.

Qi Hu has never left the cave and has been practicing steadily in the cave.

In order to avoid being disturbed during the promotion, Qi Hu had specifically instructed his elder and second brothers not to come here unless it was important.

It had been ten days since they last came here.

Therefore, the news that Qi Hu had been promoted to the late stage of leader had not yet spread.

I carefully looked over the data panel in front of me.

Qi Hu immediately stood up.

"Master, I cooked soup today."

Seeing Qi Hu coming, the ghost Liu Bin quickly said enthusiastically: "It will taste better after a while."

Compared to ten years ago.

Liu Bin, who had turned into a ghost, had no trace of changes on his face, and his appearance and age were exactly the same as when he was frightened to death.

"kindness"

Qi Hu nodded, walked to the fire pit and sat down.

Waiting for the soup to cook in the pot.

I also quietly thought about what to do next.

The first and most important thing is the fighting competition scheduled by the three generals every five years.

The second time happened to be this fall.

He still needs to ask for the exact date.

Because he hasn't communicated with other leader monsters for almost two months.

It's time to go out for a walk.

As for the rest.

There is nothing much to do on the mountain.

As for outside the mountain, there is only Chechi Kingdom.

However, he left a ghost monk named Fa Ming in the Chechi Kingdom. He had been extending the life of the ghost monk and knew that the monk was alive and well.

The ghost also often sent him messages.

It has not rained in Chechi Country for nearly two months.

But because the weather in that place is always dry, it is not uncommon for there to be no rain for a month or two.

Qi Hu didn't care too much.

“I smell something.”

"That kid Liu Bin must be cooking something good again."

"Second brother, we came at the perfect time. Hehe, we are in for a treat."

At this time, a sound came from far outside the cave.

Qi Hu smiled when he heard the voice, and he came at the right time.

Soon.

The footsteps of Longfang and Bighorn were heard just outside the cave.

Go into the cave.

Looking at Qi Hu sitting in front of the fire pit.

Changya's smiling face suddenly froze, and he said, "Third brother, why do I think you are taller than before? What do you think, second brother?"

Da Jiao nodded immediately: "It is higher, a lot higher!"

"kindness"

Hearing what his elder and second brothers said, Qi Hu smiled and nodded: "There has been a small breakthrough recently."

“A small breakthrough.”

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Changya Dajiao was shocked, and then he immediately said happily: "Third brother, you have advanced?"

They had heard the third brother mention promotion and later stages before.

Although they had no idea about Third Brother's cultivation level, since he had almost made it clear, they could naturally guess it.

"kindness"

Under the expectant gaze of Changya Dajiao, Qi Hu nodded again.

Suddenly.

There were ghostly howlings and wolves cheering in the cave.

It wasn't until the henchman Liu Bin said the soup was ready that things calmed down a little.

And this time.

Changya and Dajiao also explained the reason why they came to see Qi Hu today.

"Three months later?"

"When the first snow of this winter falls?"

Hearing his elder brother's words, Qi Hu was surprised and asked, "Didn't you say it was autumn before? The same as five years ago?"

Changya immediately shook his head: "I don't know about that. Anyway, the big leader told me and the second brother that this is what he told us to tell you, the third brother."

"I see."

Qi Hu nodded and didn't care much.

Now that he has advanced to the late stage, three months earlier or later won't make much difference, so he said, "Then the eldest and second brothers should start making arrangements for the roster for the competition in three months."

Changya said immediately: "We will."

When a big pot of soup is finished.

Qi Hu also learned about the situation of the monster group below in recent months from his elder and second brothers.

I know the time of this year's competition.

He was in no hurry to go out.

Nothing happened anyway.

It would be better to continue practicing in the cave and consolidate your cultivation at the same time.

in this way.

More than two months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of autumn.

The weather is getting colder and the wind is howling.

The leaden clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker.

The first snow of the year is just around the corner.

One evening.

Qi Hu, who was sitting on the cloud bed in the cave meditating, suddenly felt something in his heart.

He forcibly interrupted his cultivation and suddenly opened his eyes.

Because just now, he received a message from Fa Ming, the ghost who stayed behind in Che Chi Kingdom: three powerful monsters from Che Chi Kingdom entered the city!
