Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 1 Reborn Toad
Dongsheng Shenzhou, Aolai Country, Huaguo Mountain.

A small pond under the Water Curtain Cave.

A golden toad looked at the motionless three-meter-high boulder on the top of the Flower-Fruit Mountain and sighed deeply:

"Three years and three years, Monkey Brother, Monkey Brother, why haven't you been born yet?"

"Toad, I've been waiting for you so long!"

"I'm just waiting for you, Monkey King, to make a scene in Heaven and give me a peach and half a pot of imperial wine."

"When I gain immortality, I will marry a bunch of beautiful wives and concubines, and live a carefree life. Wouldn't that be great?"

He is Xiao Chen. In his previous life, he was accidentally electrocuted to death while playing a game called "Black Myth: Journey to the West" and came to this world.

Since then, he has lived a life of wandering since he was a tadpole. He was surrounded by all kinds of rotten fish and shrimps all day long, and escaped from the mouths of fish countless times. If it weren't for his extraordinary bloodline, his speed and strength were different from other tadpoles, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.

The world of Journey to the West is a world of relationships, and hard work is useless. The best fate for monsters is that even the strongest ones, such as the blue lion, white elephant, and golden-haired hyena, are ultimately just mounts and toys of gods and Buddhas. Not being castrated is the greatest blessing.

Moreover, I'm afraid no one would want a toad as a mount. At least in the world of Journey to the West, there doesn't seem to be any immortals or Buddhas riding toads.

Xiao Chen, who had no golden finger and no background, just wanted to lie down. It would be a great fortune to make friends with Monkey King when he was in a humble position, take advantage of his opportunities, and get one or two peaches, half a pot of imperial wine, etc.

You know, eating a small peach can make you an immortal, and eating a big peach can make you live as long as the sun and the moon. It is the quickest way to find immortality in the world of Journey to the West.

This is much more reliable than eating Tang Monk's flesh.

Survival and reproduction are the instincts of every animal, and are engraved in their genes! Xiao Chen is no exception.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to live forever and then reproduce?
What does the journey to the west, the fighting and the killing have to do with him! If he could find immortality, live in the human world, marry a few beautiful wives and concubines, and have children, wouldn't that be a joy!
"Oh, forget it, let me practice first and endure it. I have to increase my lifespan first, or I will die of old age before Monkey King comes out."

Xiao Chen shook his head, lay on the lotus leaf, opened his big toad mouth, worshipped the moon and absorbed essence.

Toads are long-lived creatures. He is a species of golden toad and has become a demon. With some practice, it should not be a problem for him to live for two or three hundred years. He can just wait a little longer.

The moon sank to the bottom of the sea, the red sun began to rise, it was already dawn, and tonight's practice was over.

"Quack, quack, quack!"

Xiao Chen was ready to practice his fighting skills. His cheeks puffed up like two big balloons, and he blew out a ball of air, which directly smashed a bowl-sized tree beside the pond, and a group of sparrows on the tree were scared and fled in all directions.

Xiao Chen spit out a thick black poisonous mist from his mouth again, spraying it towards the flock of sparrows. The moment the sparrows came into contact with the poisonous mist, they were poisoned and fell to the ground. Xiao Chen then stretched out his long tongue, rolled up the sparrows one by one, and swallowed them into his stomach.

This is his bloodline-inherited martial arts technique called "Toad Kung Fu". In the past few years, he relied on Toad Kung Fu and his body of deadly poisons to become the master of this pond.

"Quack! Quack! Quack!"

Compared with ordinary toads, Xiao Chen's cry is full of energy, and even has a hint of the sound of golden swords colliding.

As Xiao Chen's cry died down, sounds of "quack, quack, quack..." were heard from all around the pond, full of submission.

A snow-white and beautiful female clam tiptoed onto the lotus leaf where Xiao Chen was. She moved closer to Xiao Chen, wanting to get close to him.

"Don't touch me."

Xiao Chen kicked his legs suddenly and kicked the female toad down.

In the six years of being a toad, he had to overcome many things that were unimaginable in his previous life in order to survive, such as the damp and cold nest and the ugly mosquitoes. However, he still found it difficult to overcome his preference for appearance. It was always difficult for him to go down to the ground to eat a female toad.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard from not far away, and it was quite loud.

"Hmm? Something's flying over there?"

Xiao Chen kicked up his hind legs, leaped up, and hid in the weeds of the pond at an extremely fast speed, carefully watching the movements on the shore.

You know, toads have many natural enemies in the air, such as swans, eagles, etc., all of which eat toads.

An old man with a kind face came flying on a sword and landed beside the lotus pond.

"Is he a human cultivator?"

Seeing this, Xiao Chen was even more shocked. He hid in the water and dared not move, wondering in his heart:
"The area around Huaguo Mountain is rarely visited by people. How could a human cultivator come here?"

"Strange, I clearly heard the toad croaking just now, how come it disappeared so quickly?"

There was some confusion on the white-haired old man's face.

"Never mind. It's just a matter of burning one more stick of insect-attracting incense."

The white-haired old man shook his head and said in a low voice.

As he spoke, the old man took out a three-inch short incense stick from the bag on his waist and stuck it into the ground.

The old man made hand gestures with his right hand, facing the short incense stick, and silently said in his heart:
"Insect-attracting incense! Burn!"

A ray of fire emanated from the old man's right hand, and the three-inch short incense was instantly ignited.

A strange fragrance of hookworms emanated, covering an area of ​​several dozen feet.

In an instant, all kinds of hidden poisonous insects, snakes, toads, etc. near the pond seemed to be attracted by something and swarmed towards the location of the insect-attracting fragrance.

Xiao Chen resisted for more than thirty breaths, then involuntarily jumped towards the location of the insect-attracting incense.

The old man's eyes were as sharp as torches as he carefully examined each poisonous insect. The moment he saw Xiao Chen, his face was filled with ecstasy.

"It has golden horns on its head, full warts, and its cry is like the sound of golden swords colliding. It is indeed a toad species!" "This golden toad has been practicing for more than 20 years, just enough for me to refine the Five Poisons Elixir. It's worth my thousands of miles to come to the East China Sea to search for it."

"Good Toad! I have a destiny with you."

The old man stroked his beard with satisfaction and patted the beast-taming bag at his waist. Suddenly, the beast-taming bag opened, emitting a powerful suction force, directly sucking Xiao Chen into it.

"Oh no, I've already fallen into that old man's trap!"

When Xiao Chen woke up, he found himself in a dark space. He jumped and struggled hard, but could not escape. Moreover, the more he resisted, the tighter the space became, making it difficult for him to move.

“Tigers have no intention of harming people, but people have the intention of hurting tigers.”

"Since I came to this Journey to the West world, I have never come into contact with the human race. I avoided them whenever possible. I didn't expect that I would end up falling into the hands of the human race."

"I'm afraid my life will end today!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen showed a bitter smile:

"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, it seems that you and I are not destined to be together after all."

"I wonder why this old man took me in, to satisfy his appetite?"

"Or maybe it can be used as a medicinal ingredient? I heard that some toad species do have the effect of strengthening the kidneys and tonifying the yang, but looking at this old man, he is already very old, so he probably won't be able to use it, right?"

Xiao Chen was trapped in the beast-taming bag, unable to move. He could only guess his fate with a wry smile. But no matter what, the monster would not have a good ending if it fell into the hands of humans.

Just as he was daydreaming, a few "ding, ding, ding" sounds were heard, and a crisp female prompt voice fell into Xiao Chen's mind.

A line of large golden words appeared in his mind.

"Host, I have touched the H-level control magic weapon, the Beast Taming Bag. This treasure can directly capture and subdue monsters under a hundred years old. Do you want to scan and copy it?"

……

"The host has not responded. The scanning and copying of the beast taming bag has begun."

Scan progress 1%, 2%...100%.

Copy progress 1%,…100%.

……

"The scanning and copying of the beast bag has been completed. Please select the fusion organ."

...

"The host did not respond."

……

"The beast taming bag has automatically selected stomach fusion."

Fusion progress 1%…100%.

……

"The host's stomach has been fused into this H-level control magic weapon, the beast-taming bag."

"At the same time, the host's Taoism level increases by three years."

"Warm reminder: The same magic weapon can only be copied once."

"If the host obtains three H-level magic weapons, they can be synthesized and upgraded into a G-level magic weapon."

For six years, he had always thought that he had no golden finger. At this moment, this sudden change made Xiao Chen a little stunned, and Xiao Chen looked at the equipment panel in his mind.

As I recall, this was the game equipment panel of "Black Myth: Journey to the West", which divided the magic weapons and weapons in the world of Journey to the West into many levels.

For example, an innate spiritual treasure like the banana fan is A-level, an acquired spiritual treasure like the golden hoop is B-level, C-level is an ordinary acquired spiritual treasure, and those below D are ordinary magic weapons in the mortal world.

As the clear voice fell, Xiao Chen felt a warm current flowing through his abdomen, and some wonderful changes seemed to have taken place in his stomach.

"Oh my god, I actually have a golden finger!"

"The monsters and gods in the world of Journey to the West all eat people without spitting out the bones."

"The Tao is not taught to non-humans, and the Dharma is not taught to the six ears."

"A small toad is at the bottom of the food chain in nature. It has no background, no followers, and no master. How can it survive?"

Xiao Chen was overjoyed. If he could move, he would have really wanted to cry out to the sky. He, Xiao Chen, actually also had a golden finger!
"This equipment panel is my golden finger?"

"As long as I touch a magic weapon, I can copy it and fuse it into a part of my body, and it can also enhance my cultivation!"

After Xiao Chen was overjoyed, he felt infinite resentment again, muttering:
"It's been six years. System, oh system, why didn't you give me a hint earlier?"

"Under the Water Curtain Cave, there are many treasures in the Dragon Palace. The golden hoop stick, the painted halberd, and the nine-pronged steel fork are all great treasures. If I had known I had this ability, I would have found a way to sneak into the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and copy the treasures."
