Chapter 40 Returning Home in Glory [4.5K, please read on]

"call"

The wind whistled past my ears.

Qi Hu was speeding over the Jindou Mountain forest on a cloud formed by black mist, and he was suddenly excited: Is this what it feels like to fly?

In his previous life, Qi Hu suffered from acrophobia.

But at this moment, he was controlling the clouds under his feet and flying freely above the towering and vast mountains, but there was nothing unusual.

Qi Hu had already understood the general idea at this time. It should be the difference between the feeling of being uncontrollable and controllable.

In my previous life, my fear of heights was uncontrollable. If the height was a little higher, I would experience a series of symptoms such as timidity, dizziness, and weak legs.

Now, the clouds under my feet are at my will.

Even if he fell down now, he could quickly create mist under his feet again, condense into clouds and fly up.

This was all thanks to the half an hour of flying practice he had spent before.

Speaking of this.

Looking at the snow-capped mountains and forests passing by rapidly below.

Qi Hu was still quite proud in his heart.

He had seen the appearances of several leaders on Jindou Mountain while flying, whether it was Man Gu, the commander-in-chief Niu Er, the squirrel monster Da Ge, or the already killed Niu Dali and several other leader monsters.

To sum up the flying posture and speed of each one, it cannot be said to be ugly, it can only be said that they are flying.

It only took Qi Hu less than an hour to learn and quickly master the technique and fly flexibly and freely.

In addition to the talent that Qi Hu may possess, there should also be factors related to his true nature.

The clouds follow the dragon and the wind follows the tiger.

Looking at the mountains flying by like a passing show under my feet.

At this moment, Qi Hu felt that he had never felt so happy since he came to this world.

of course.

This is in Jindou Mountain, on our own territory.

Otherwise, Qi Hu would never be so bold as to fly out of the forest and travel over it.

Otherwise, it would have been discovered by other monsters long ago.

Qi Hu hurried on his way.

About half an hour.

Only about half the time as before.

A lush and huge bamboo forest, also covered with a thick layer of white snow, appeared in sight.

Qi Hu then turned around and flew straight down the forest.

Stepping on black fog.

Qi Hu flew quickly towards the camp deep in the bamboo forest spiritual land.

Not long after.

Then I saw a large area of ​​forest that was obviously empty in the distance ahead.

The camp where I had lived for more than three years was getting closer and closer.

Qi Hu couldn't help but think that when he appeared in the camp like this, it would probably scare all the monsters in the camp.

Whether it was the group of patrolling monsters, the two kitchen helpers, the two leaders of the Barbarian Bone Snake, and his sworn brothers, the eldest brother Changya and the second brother Dajiao.

Qi Hu was already impatient to see their expressions when they discovered that he had broken through and become the leader.

I'm looking forward to it.

Qi Hu suddenly realized something and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Show off your talents in public, return home in glory, return home in honor
In a similar situation, everyone would feel excited, thrilled, and expectant, basically the same.

As expected, I used to be a vulgar person, and now I am a vulgar monster.

but.

Qi Hu likes this way of pretending.

It's just that he seemed to have returned a little too early.

When he landed in front of the camp, not only was he surrounded and envied, he didn't even see a single monster in the camp.

Qi Hu, who has lived here for three years, certainly knows what the situation is.

It is only the morning hour now.

The monster patrolling the mountains has not come back yet, and the other monsters, including their two kitchen helpers, are either sleeping or practicing meditation. It is still too early for them to get up and prepare for food.

The two leaders in the cave behind the camp.
Just thought of this.

Qi Hu saw two figures, one big and one small, rushing out from two caves at the back.

"Where did this monster come from? How dare you break into the sacred place of Jindou Mountain!"

The voice arrives before the body arrives.

The loud shout of the Barbarian Bone Leader instantly resounded throughout the entire camp.

Looking at the two figures rushing towards him.

Qi Hu didn't say anything, he just stood at the entrance of the camp, watching the arrival of the two monster leaders who were quite familiar to him with a calm expression.

"Which one are you?"

The bull demon leader named Man Gu, who had double horns on his head and was tall and strong, landed in front of the tiger demon leader opposite him and shouted, "But just as he opened his mouth and before he finished speaking, he saw that the tiger demon leader in front of him looked familiar, and was very similar to his own tiger demon brother who was an excellent cook in his own kitchen."

He was stunned for a moment, but the other party's aura and momentum could not deceive the monster at all. It was clearly a leader monster of the same level as himself, and they were both in the early stage of the spiritual realm.

This immediately made Man Gu confused. His younger brother was the demon in the late stage of Qi Ling Realm, but who was the one in front of him?

Man Gu was confused.

The leader of the sparrow demon snakes standing nearby looked suspicious and asked, "Are you Longtail?"

"Longtail!"

When Man Gu heard what his friend Snake said, he was suddenly shocked: No way!
Although he admitted that the tiger demon in front of him looked very similar to the long-tailed boy, the boy was only in the late stage of the Qi Ling realm, and had only been promoted not long ago, only two or three years ago.

How is it possible to break through and become a leader so quickly! ?
Qi Hu naturally didn't know what the Man Gutou leader was thinking, but he saw the confusion in the eyes of the two leaders and grinned, "It's me, I just came back from the main mountain."

"it's me."

“I just came back from the main mountain”

Listening to the self-admission of the tiger demon who was standing at the entrance of the camp. He was three meters tall and strong, with beautiful muscles, a tiger head and a big brain, and his whole body had a huge aura and amazing momentum.

At this moment, not only Man Gu and Shi She were shocked.

The crowd around were just awakened by the loud shout of the Barbarian Bone Leader, and the monsters that appeared in the camp at this time were even more shocked.

"Are you Longtail?"

"Why are you so sudden?"

The Bone Leader finally reacted, his eyes widened as he spoke, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt something was wrong and immediately changed his words: "Have you made a breakthrough?"

"right"

Qi Hu nodded and smiled, "It happened this morning, on the main mountain."

Hear Qi Hu admit it.

Even though the snake-eating leader usually had a cold personality, his face was full of surprise and astonishment at this moment.

The extroverted leader Man Guts standing nearby had a look of shock and astonishment on his face.

He endured nearly fifty years in the late stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm before he luckily broke through and became the leader.

Changwei became a leader in just two or three years. Is this the talent that the king mentioned? Is there still justice in this world?
Not to mention that the two leaders facing each other were seriously shocked by Qi Hu.

The monsters around were so frightened that they started to make a fuss and jumped up.

"Is that Longtail?"

"That leader is Longtail?"

"The leader is our cook, Longtail?"

"He has a long beard. Is that your boss?"

"White Mouth, when did your boss become the leader? Wasn't he the same as us yesterday?"

"How would I know? Brother Long Tail said he had something to do yesterday, so he let me and Brother Beard share the food. If you don't believe me, ask him."

"Brother Changwei only said that he had to go out for something yesterday. How could we know that he would become the leader as soon as he went out!"

"I remember that Changwei was only in the late stage not long ago? Two or three years?"

"Shh, he's the leader now, you better watch your words"

"You've become a leader in just two or three years? Oh my god!"

"Now that he's the leader, will he still cook for us? I like the broth he cooks."

"Are you dreaming? Changwei is the leader now. Do you know what a leader is? Just like our Barbarian Bone Leader and Snake Leader. Do you think these two leaders will cook for you?"

"My God, it only took two or three years for her to become the leader. I've been here for seven years and I still don't understand."

"Your seven years is nothing. I've been in the late stage for fifteen years. There's no way they can be the same. I don't know how they broke through!" "It's a pity that Changya and Dajiao went to patrol the mountains. Otherwise, they would be so happy now that they knew their sworn brother had become the leader!"

"I really envy Changya and Dajiao. Now no one dares to bully them anymore."

"."

For a moment, all the monsters were shocked, envious, jealous, and noisy.

"Congratulations, Nagao."

After being surprised, the snake-eating leader reacted the fastest and smiled at Qi Hu.

"That's right."

Man Gu also came back to his senses at this time, reached out and patted Qi Hu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Changwei, you are the same as us now."

"You two elder brothers and I don't need to be so polite."

Qi Hu also laughed and said, "But I am not called Changwei anymore, I am called Qi Shanjun."

"Qishan Jun"

Hearing Qi Hu's new name, Shishe nodded and said nothing.

Man Gu just shook his head and said, "What kind of name is that? It's not as good as Changwei."

Qi Hu just smiled and said, "It's okay once you get used to it."

When he first came here, he had the idea of ​​changing his name.

It was just that I was too weak at that time and couldn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Now that he has become the leader and has a certain status among the monster group, it is just right to change his name.

Qi was Qi Hu's original surname in his previous life;

Shanjun, in the previous life, also meant tiger.

Qi Hu thought about it carefully and decided that calling him by his real name from his previous life would definitely not work.

This combination is simple and clear, and sounds good.

As for whether the word "Sanjun" would attract the attention of other monsters or make the king disgusted or something.

With Qi Hu's current understanding of the monsters and demons, there is no need to worry.

Because apart from the king, this term is relatively broad among the monster clan, with some panaceas and some special adjectives.

You don't need to worry about the rest.

Although ordinary beasts can awaken their spiritual intelligence and transform into demons, their IQ is said to be comparable to that of ordinary humans.

actually not.

Because monsters are influenced by their true appearance, bloodline, nature and other aspects, in reality, only a small number of monsters can have the same IQ as adults after their spiritual intelligence is awakened.

The IQ of most monsters is lower than that of adults, which is equivalent to the different IQs of children of different age groups.

Plus, reading and writing don’t exist.

Therefore, as long as you don’t call yourself “king” or something like that, no one will care what you call yourself.

As long as you are brave enough, you can name yourself the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, or even the name of a heavenly deity like Buddha among the monsters, as long as you dare!
"Qishan Jun"

Man Gu called out the name awkwardly, and immediately said in disgust: "Forget it, I'll just call you Changwei. Although you were under my and Snake's command before, now that you have broken through and become one of us, we have to call each other brothers. You just called me and Snake brother, so we two brothers will treat you to a drink today."

"Walk"

Although I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, Leader Man Gutuo would treat me to a drink.

But Qi Hu did not refuse.

He had just broken through and advanced to the spiritual realm, leaping over to the level of a leader monster. Naturally, he needed to know some things about monsters at this level.

What's more, the two leaders, Man Gu and Shi Snake, are the monster leaders that Qi Hu is most familiar with. They are friendly to him, so he is naturally willing to make friends with them.

"Then I won't be polite."

Hearing Man Gu's invitation, Qi Hu smiled.

"Walk"

Man Gu grabbed Qi Hu's shoulder and walked towards the cave behind.

The three leaders walked to the stove. Man Gu immediately looked at the rat demon Hu Zichang and the crow demon Bai Zui behind the stove and told them to prepare some side dishes.

As a result, the two guys were dumbfounded when they heard the order, and then looked at Qi Hu cautiously.

Because all the food and drinks were prepared by Qi Hu in the past, and they were small in quantity but rich in flavor. They had never touched them before, and Qi Hu didn't let them touch them, so it would be really a blind guess for them to try it now.

So Qi Hu had no choice but to say, "Let me do it. They can't make it. You two brothers, just prepare the wine and wait."

As the leader, Qi Hu did it himself, so Man Gu was naturally more satisfied and shouted loudly for Qi Hu to drink with peace of mind.

A good while.

Under the increasingly respectful gazes of the Rat Demon and the Crow Demon, Qi Hu prepared a large plate of wine and food and walked towards the cave behind.

soon.

Qi Hu sat down in front of a wide and flat stone in Man Gu's cave, with a wine jar half a person's height placed next to it.

Looking at the wine jar that he had never seen before, with the red word "wine" pasted on it.

Qi Hu knew in his heart that this wine must have come from the human world.

"Come on, Brother Longtail."

Man Gu picked up the large wine jar and poured three full bowls of wine. He raised the bowl and said, "Cheers to you for becoming one of us today. Let's drink one first!"

As he said that, he poured it directly into his mouth.

Qi Hu looked at the clear wine in the bowl, which still exuded a faint aroma of wine.

I couldn't help but feel emotional for a moment.

Wine is a very precious thing among the monsters. If small monsters want to drink it, they can only brew it themselves, except for the rewards from the big monsters above.

Qi Hu remembered that the fox demon Big Eyes tried to use half a bag of fruit wine to brew himself, so he asked the three brothers to do the job.

Now, looking at the attitude of Man Gu beside him, this wine is obviously ordinary for him.

Watch as Man Gu and Shi She drank it all in one gulp.

Qi Hu didn't hesitate any longer. He brought it to his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.

Just put down the wine bowl.

At this time, the sparrow demon snake on the opposite side asked: "Qishan Jun, you came back from the main mountain, you should have seen the king, right?"

Qi Hu nodded: "Yes, the king also asked me to bring you some words."

talking.

Qi Hu told the two Barbarian Bone Snakes what King Black Horn had said.

Snake Food nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "Then Qi Shanjun is going to the main mountain next?"

Qi Hu nodded: "Yes, the king asked me to go to the main mountain tomorrow to introduce me."

Speaking of it.

Qi Hu immediately thought of something, raised his wine bowl, looked at Man Gu and said, "Brother Man Gu, I have something to ask of you."

Hearing Qi Hu's serious words, Man Gu immediately said, "Brother Changwei, go ahead."

Qi Hu: "Brother, you know that I have two sworn brothers. This time when I go to the main mountain, the king will definitely give me a task. Maybe I will be like the two brothers. Therefore, I want to take the two brothers with me. Then even if there is a task, it will be easier to get started. I hope you can accommodate me."

“I thought it was a big deal.”

After listening to Qi Hu, Man Gu raised his bowl and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter. Brother Changwei can take them away at any time. Snake and I know what Brother Changwei is capable of. I just hope that we will not break off contact in the future."

"Come on, do it"

“Definitely not.”

Qi Hu put down the wine bowl, wiped the wine stains from his mouth and smiled: "I have always been grateful to Brother Man Gu. Three years ago, when the king was away and the monsters from Snake Neck Ridge were about to attack our main mountain, it was Brother Man Gu who spoke for me in front of the chieftain."

Inside the cave.

The two leaders, Qi Hu and Man Gu Snake, were eating and drinking happily.

In front of the camp.

Longfang, Bighorn and several other monsters walked into the camp with tired faces.

Just entered the camp.

Several monsters who were chatting and waiting for food to be released immediately rushed forward, grabbed the arms of Changya and Dajiao and said excitedly: "Changya, Dajiao, your third brother has become the leader!"

"Yes, I'm the leader now!"

"What leader?"

When the elephant demon Changya heard what the two demons said, he raised his hand to shake them off and frowned, saying, "Fuck you, what the hell are you two talking about?"

"I mean, your third brother Changwei is now the leader!"

"That's right, your third brother has become the leader, and he is drinking with the Bone Chief and the Snake Chief in there now!"

This time, Changya finally heard clearly and realized what the two demons were talking about. He reacted quickly and grabbed the monkey demon in front of him and brought him to him. Eye to eye, nose to nose, he said word by word: "What do you think has become of my third brother?"
