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

Chapter 6 Tiger Power Immortal?

"There are five great cave masters in the Liubaili Kanyuan Mountain. The Black Evil Cave of my Black Evil King is one of them, and he is in charge of the Hundred Miles Black Pine Ridge."

"We have formed an alliance with the other four caves. If one cave is in trouble, the other four caves will come to its aid."

"The leader of the five cave masters is the Demon King of Chaos in the Shuizang Cave. The demon king has a waist that is ten feet wide, is three feet tall, holds a big knife in his hand, and has practiced Taoism for a thousand years."

"The leader of the Beast Taming Sect is no match for the Devil King of Chaos, and he would never dare to come to Kanyuan Mountain to capture you. As long as you don't leave the territory of Kanyuan Mountain, you will be safe."

Hu Li rolled up a gust of evil wind and rode it forward, while introducing the situation of Kanyuan Mountain to Xiao Chen.

"Kanyuanshan, the devil of chaos? Is he so powerful?"

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this. As far as he remembered, this guy seemed to be a small minion that Sun Wukong used for training in the early days.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen sneered. He watched Journey to the West from the perspective of a monkey, so naturally he felt that the Demon King was nothing special.

But in Journey to the West, he was well-known and could fight with the monkey. In this small country, he was already a giant of the demon clan. When the little Zuanfeng from the 800-li Lion Camel Ridge came here, he would probably have to respectfully call him "Old Ancestor Zuanfeng".

Hu Li was quite fast and in less than an hour he arrived at the border of Kanyuan Mountain.

Xiao Chen looked from afar and saw that the Kanyuan Mountain was thousands of feet high, steep and endless. The mountain was filled with evil spirits, and thick clouds and fog filled the top of the mountain, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.

A group of monsters gathered in the mountains. These monsters had different shapes. Some had human faces and beast bodies, while others were hideous evil ghosts. They walked together on the mountain, and the whole mountain was filled with a strong demonic aura.

"Tiger princess, Tiger princess, I, Tiger Power, am back!"

It is true that a short absence is better than a new marriage.

When he thought about going home and reuniting with his wife, Hu Li's heart became more and more excited. He ran as fast as the wind and headed towards Heisongling.

Heisongling is located in the west of Kanyuan Mountain. There are many dark blue pine trees growing there, and caves of various sizes have been carved out on the rock walls.

"Brother Jinjiao, that is the Black Demon Cave!"

As they were about to reach Black Pine Ridge, Hu Li stretched out his tiger claws, pointed at a dark cave with a diameter of more than four meters in the middle of Black Pine Ridge in the distance, and introduced it.

Hu Li and Xiao Chen had just stepped into the territory of Heisongling.

“Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh~”

Several arrows were shot towards the vital points of the two monsters with great force, and it was obvious that they had ill intentions.

"Hmm? Hu Li, what's going on? Doesn't the monster in Hei Song Ling know you?"

Xiao Chen felt something was wrong and became alert. He drew out the Sky-Bombing Hammer behind him and knocked away several arrows with one blow. With a slightly cold expression, he looked at the five-headed lion monster that appeared in front of him.

In the middle of the five monsters was a scarred lion monster, with a demonic aura rising to the sky and a cold expression. He looked at Hu Li and the other two with sharp eyes.

Seeing this, Hu Li quickly revealed his demon form, looked at the scarred lion demon, and said excitedly with a look of joy:

"Scarface Commander, I am Ding Huli, the demon under your command! I was captured by the people from the Beast Taming Sect and I escaped."

After hearing Hu Li's explanation, the scarred lion demon's expression remained unchanged, but his mouth corners turned up, and his eyes showed a strong murderous intent. He ordered the four demons:
"Blue Hair, Black Eyes, Curly Tail, White Beard, quickly capture this spy sent by the Beast Taming Sect!"

After receiving Scarface's order, the four lion monsters, each holding a weapon, rushed towards Hu Li and Xiao Chen at an extremely fast speed.

"Hu Li, what's going on? Do you have a grudge against this lion demon?"

Xiao Chen's face was gloomy. It was obvious that the scarred man knew Hu Li. From what Hu Li said, he was once Hu Li's leader.

Even if Scarface suspected that Hu Li was a spy, according to common sense, he should have explained it carefully and interrogated him. Why did he kill him as soon as they met?
Before they could think too much, the four monsters had already rushed over and started fighting with Xiao Chen and Hu Li.

"I have no grudge against him. We used to be close friends. He often came to my house to drink."

Hu Li was also obviously confused, not knowing why his former brother wanted to kill him. Xiao Chen drew out the Red Flame Flying Sword, held the Sky-Burning Hammer, and knocked the green-haired lion monster back with one hammer, and then stabbed the green-haired lion monster with a backhanded sword.

Xiao Chen's cultivation level was comparable to that of these lion monsters, but relying on the advantages of the weapons in his hands, he was able to hold his own. If Xiao Chen had not been thinking of joining the Black Evil Cave and had some reservations in his heart, the green-haired lion monster would have probably had its lion head chopped off by Xiao Chen.

Seeing that the four lions were at a disadvantage, Scarface's eyes turned cold. He drew the big knife from his waist and was about to attack.

Hu Li finally reacted and realized that Scarface really wanted to kill him!
Hu Li gathered his energy and held his breath, letting out an angry roar. The roar echoed in the valley, low and powerful.

A few breaths later, a deer demon and a goat demon quickly ran over. The moment they saw Huli, tears welled up in their eyes.

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Third brother!"

The three demons, Huli, Deer and Sheep, hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"This tiger demon is called Hu Li, and is accompanied by a deer demon and a sheep demon. Could it be the Tiger Li Immortal, the Deer Li Immortal, and the Sheep Li Immortal from Chechi Country?"

Xiao Chen reacted and looked at the three monsters, the tiger, the deer and the sheep. The corners of his mouth twitched. Could it be such a coincidence?

In Journey to the West, the three immortals Huli, Luli and Yangli, to be honest, died a bit unjustly. They protected the people of Chechi Kingdom and ensured good weather and good harvests, and they used orthodox Taoist magic.

But Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng went to the Sanqing Temple to steal the tribute and threw the statues of the Sanqing into the toilet, insulting the Sanqing. Finally, Sun Wukong and the other two urinated on the statues of the Huli Three Immortals, which completely angered the Huli Three Immortals and made them want to fight with them.

The three Tiger Power Immortals did have some real skills in the competition, but unfortunately they lost to Sun Wukong's connections.

Following Hu Li's angry roar, other monsters in the mountain were also alarmed and they revealed their figures and gathered towards this side.

Among them was a beautiful tigress, with a few little animals with lion heads, tiger bodies and blue eyes. She stood quietly behind Scarface, looking at Huli with tears in her eyes and a complicated expression.

After Hu Li explained the reason to the Deer Demon and the Sheep Demon, the Deer Demon and the Sheep Demon became extremely angry. They stood in front of Hu Li and cursed at Scarface:
"Scarface, Brother Huli was captured, but instead of trying to rescue him, you took Sister Huji for yourself!"

"Now you want to kill my elder brother. You are so shameless and have no moral integrity. Even if we risk our lives, we will go to the king today to seek justice!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Li swept his eyes among the group of monsters, looking for his wife. When he saw the tigress standing behind Scarface, and the lions and tigers, Hu Li felt as if struck by lightning, and his face turned pale.

Being surrounded by the monsters, Scarface's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, but he still said in a cold voice:

"The Beast Taming Sect has many tricks and is extremely treacherous. Hu Li has been captured for two years. Who knows if he has been used against him? What kind of harm will he bring to Black Pine Ridge? It is better to just kill him directly."

"Hmph, Scarface, everyone in Black Pine Ridge knows your dirty thoughts. How can you win the support of the others if you bully the little monsters under your command like this? What qualifications do you have to lead the monsters? You should be stripped of your leadership!"

On a tall pine tree, a hawk demon with a strong build, wings on its back and a hooked nose scolded mercilessly. From the looks of it, it was obvious that he and Scarface were not on good terms.

"Hei Yu, don't..."

Scarface looked gloomy and was about to refute.

"Everyone, get in here!"

At this time, a majestic roar came from the Black Evil Cave.

Upon hearing this, Scarface, Eagle Monster, Tiger Power, Deer Monster and other monsters all changed their expressions slightly, stopped arguing, and walked towards the Black Evil Cave in an orderly manner.

Xiao Chen was also carried in by the lion demons. His original purpose of coming here was to seek refuge in the Black Evil Cave. Although there were some twists and turns, he had to meet the Black Evil King.
