Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 74: Spring breeze and autumn rain, ten long years!
I resisted the urge to ask the dung beetle monster in person.

Qi Hu felt the "immobilization" ability he had just acquired again, and felt more and more satisfied.

Just like ten years ago.

Today, Heimian gave him a good start.

I hope there will be a few more useful magical powers next time.

Last time, several magical powers including "Breath Containment", "Invisibility" and "Great Strength" were revealed.

He is not greedy and does not seek to do more than last time.

As long as it's about the same as last time, he'll be satisfied.

Keep your mind at bay.

Qi Hu looked at the group of monsters in front of him again.

And seeing that the black-faced "dung-pushing bug" was asked his name by the leader, it was obviously a signal that he was valued and appreciated.

You should know that the little monsters whose names the king asked ten years ago, such as the lizard monster with long tail, the tiger monster with sharp teeth, and the toad monster with big eyes, were all like this.

Moreover, there are not many secrets hidden within the monster group. You have to know that the monsters have all kinds of strange talents and abilities. It is not uncommon for them to be able to eavesdrop or have exceptional hearing abilities.

Because of his background, Heimian smelled strongly of shit and feces, and was often ostracized.

At this time, he saw that he was appreciated by the leader.

All the monsters suddenly became agitated.

They immediately stretched their necks, expecting to be hit by the leader.

These particularly eager little demons were those who were not selected ten years ago and later joined Qi Hu's army.

As for the batch from ten years ago, although some of them died, most of them are still alive today. They know that the leader will not choose them again, but are looking forward to the two pots of delicious meat.

It's like a divine song from a bad movie.

The more bizarre the monster looks, the easier it seems to be to use magical powers.

This impression came into my mind.

Qi Hu swept his eyes over the little monsters in front of him and immediately selected one that was short, with a small head, a pointed mouth, and a huge, hideous, thorny armor on its back.

Although this monster looks a bit strange.

But after careful observation, Qi Hu still found out that the little monster walking in front of him was a hedgehog spirit.

The first dung beetle was created.

Although this hedgehog monster was still a little nervous, he was much better than the dung beetle Black Face before. At least he was not so nervous that he stuttered.

"Relax."

“Relax your mind and body”

Qi Hu spoke gently, and the hedgehog monster immediately did as he was told.

With Qi Hu's current cultivation ability, as long as he wants, he can now add BUFFs to his words, such as charm, stimulation, anger, and other BUFFs, as long as he spends some spiritual power.

Qi Hu's spiritual sense quickly penetrated into the hedgehog monster's body, searching for the location of its innate magical powers.

soon.

Find out where his supernatural powers lie and what they are capable of.

Qi Hu frowned slightly and gave up studying.

The magical power of this hedgehog monster is related to the thorns on its back. Although he could learn it, he gave up decisively because he thought it would not be of much use.

"Go ahead."

Take back your consciousness.

Qi Hu waved his hand.

The hedgehog demon felt a sense of loss as he was not asked his name and was not appreciated by the leader.

But fortunately there was still meat to eat, so he bowed and immediately ran to the side.

Qi Hu then looked at the group of monsters again.

This time, he set his eyes on a bull monster. The monster had white hair all over its body, as if it had albinism. It was actually a white bull, and it stood out among the other black monsters.

"That bull demon, the white-haired one"

Qi Hu looked at the bull demon who was looking around and shouted, "It's you!"

I don’t know if Jindou Mountain is related to cows.

This place gave birth to many wild beasts, various kinds of cattle, and correspondingly many bull monsters.

If we count all the monsters in Jindou Mountain, the number of bull monsters is definitely the largest.

Looking at the bull demon approaching.

Qi Hu spoke gently.

He started as a lowly demon and worked his way up to where he is today. He knows how nervous these demons feel when facing him.

soon.

The exploration of magical power is over.

Knowing that the magical power of the white-haired bull monster in front of him was related to its hooves, any monster with hooves can use it, but he uses claws, so naturally he can't use it.

He waved his hand.

The white-haired bull demon walked to the big pot not far away with a look of disappointment and lined up in front of it.

Qi Hu looked at the next monster.

The fourth monster.

It is a monster with a body shape somewhat similar to Qi Hu's original form, with a beast's head and a human body, but its head is more like a cat than a tiger. It has gray-brown hair all over its body, a slightly smaller body, and two tufts of extra black hair on the tips of its ears are conspicuous.

This is clearly a big mountain cat, but it has a scientific name that is easier to understand, called "lynx".

Because elixirs are hard to find, it is difficult for ordinary beasts to become demons.

Therefore, there are very few monster groups that are composed of only one type of monster, such as all tiger monsters or all wolf monsters.
But it's too little.

Because it is not conducive to the growth of the monster group.

Think about the entire Jindou Mountain, excluding the Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge which have joined now, the number of tiger monsters is no more than ten, only about six or seven, including Qi Hu.

It is conceivable that it is extremely difficult for a group of monsters of this single species to grow stronger.

Unless it is cultivated deliberately.

It's like deliberately capturing a bunch of ordinary beasts and tigers, and then feeding them elixirs, so as to mass-produce the same type of monsters.

But that wouldn't be necessary.

First, the elixir is precious, and second, it is difficult for the little demon to break through.

Even if you mass-produce a hundred ordinary beasts of the same type, not all of them will eventually break through and become a monster leader.

This is really not worth it.

Of course, there are some big monsters who don’t care, but that’s another story, they are exceptions.

Closer to home.

Facing the only tiger demon leader in the entire Jindou Mountain, who is quite famous and in the limelight.

When the little lynx monster faced Qi Hu at such a close distance, he naturally felt excitement, nervousness, admiration, and other complex emotions.

Looking at the lynx kitten in front of me.

Big Cat Qi Hu's tone was as gentle as ever.

Not long after.

[You have learned the magical power "Dexterity"]

A virtual prompt data flashed before my eyes.

Qi Hu raised his big hand that was placed on the lynx monster's shoulder, then lowered his head to look at the lynx monster in front of him, smiled gently and said, "What's your name?"

"Report to the leader, sir."

When the leader asked his name, the lynx demon was so excited that he almost called the leader "king". He quickly said respectfully: "My name is Heimao."

"Black hair."

Hearing the name, Qi Hu glanced at the two tufts of long black hair on the lynx's ears, and understood what was going on. He smiled and said, "I've remembered it, come over and eat some meat."

What he said about remembering was not empty talk.

He would really tell his eldest brother Changya and second brother Dajiao, who were in charge of the monster group below him, to take care of these little monsters from whom he had learned magical powers.

Just like those ones ten years ago.

These little demons can make him remember their names and leave an impression on him.

Qi Hu is equivalent to their background and thigh. In the future, as Qi Hu's cultivation level becomes higher and his strength becomes stronger, the background thighs of these little monsters will become stronger.

This is something that other little demons can’t even ask for.

"Yes, leader!"

When the lynx demon Heimao heard the leader say that he remembered his name, his heart began to pound and he left in great excitement.

Qi Hu, however, was secretly feeling the new magical power he had just acquired.

"dexterity".
The literal ability is like a magical power, which means that after using it, the body will be more flexible, agile, and responsive.

Auxiliary magical power, although the name does not seem too conspicuous, its function is practical and powerful. With long-term blessing, the combat power will be even greater. It is a truly good magical power.

Sure enough, today the weather is good, the mood is good, and the luck is even better
Qi Hu was really happy that he had obtained two powerful magical powers with just four little demons.

Next.
Next.
Next.
But then five or six monsters came one after another.

His innate supernatural powers are either inappropriate or limited, so he looks down on them.

Qi Hu was not discouraged. He had already obtained two powerful magical powers, and his expectations for today had been achieved.

The rest is equivalent to a blind box, and it’s a surprise when you open it.

Next.
Next.
The twenty-fifth time he looked at the group of monsters below.

At this time, Qi Hu took a fancy to a black, round monster. It had a round head and a round body. Its black and inconspicuous body made him not notice it at first.

"That bald guy with small, round eyes is you."

The body is also not tall, with a round head, small eyes, and smooth black skin. You can tell at a glance that it is slimy.
Look at the little demon coming this time.

Qi Hu soon discovered the origin of this little monster. It was an earthworm also known as the earthworm and the ground dragon. The earthworm had become a spirit!
"Leader."

Walking quickly to Qi Hu, the little earthworm demon spoke respectfully with a nervous expression.

"Relax"

Without saying much, Qi Hu spoke gently and raised his hand to place it on Xiao Yao's shoulder.

Not long after.

[You have learned the magical power "Earth Walking"]

Looking at the virtual prompt data appearing in front of me.

Qi Hu suppressed the joy in his heart, raised his hand on the earthworm monster's shoulder, and smiled gently, "What's your name?"

"Report to the leader!"

The earthworm demon, who thought that he was not favored by the leader, immediately said excitedly: "My name is Meimao!"

“No hair.”

Even though Qi Hu was used to hearing a lot of strange names, he was stunned when he heard the name of the earthworm monster in front of him, but he reacted immediately, looked at the naked, slimy little monster, nodded, but it was hairless, and then smiled and said: "This leader has remembered it, go eat meat"

"Yes, leader!"

The earthworm monster Meimao was excited and walked away with his head held high.

Qi Hu immediately began to feel the magical power "Earth Walking" that he had just acquired.

"Earth moves".
As the name suggests, the magical power can move flexibly underground and on the earth.

Auxiliary magical power, very effective for escaping and exploring.
What a magical power!
Another great magical power!
After carefully checking the "Earth Walking" magical power.

Qi Hu suddenly thought of a rumored spell: "Earth Walking".

I don't know how big the difference is between that earth-walking technique and my current "earth-walking" magical power. Surprises again and again.

This raised Qi Hu's threshold a lot, and he felt relatively calmer.

Of course, I still feel happy and joyful in my heart.

Next.
Next.
Time passed by minute by minute.

Another dozen monsters and dozens of magical powers flashed past his eyes.

Qi Hu remained calm as he watched a short little demon with dark eyes, covered with tiny hard scales like armor, and a long thick tail walking up to him.

"Hey, it's actually a lizard demon."

Qi Hu was a little surprised when he recognized the monster coming towards him.

This kind of monster is rare. He has seen a long-tailed one before, and now there is one more under his command. It seems that he really pays too little attention to the little monsters under his command.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

If there were only a dozen or twenty little demons, he would still be able to pay attention to them.

But now there are fifty or sixty
There are too few leaders in Jindou Mountain, resulting in each leader having far more little monsters under his command than before.

If Qi Hu manages it carefully, he will naturally manage it well and pay attention to it one by one.

But that would come at the cost of slowing down his cultivation and the speed at which his cultivation level would improve.

His current status is entirely due to his cultivation strength.

Of course he would not do such a thing as throwing away sesame seeds to pick up watermelons.

This is also the reason why he handed over all the trivial matters that a leader needs to be responsible for to his two elder brothers.

Of course, this may affect the practice of the eldest and second brothers.

But Qi Hu is also doing his best to take care of his two sworn brothers. They will definitely not suffer any loss, and he also enjoys managing the monster group on behalf of his third brother.

No matter how small a right is, it is still a right.

And power is something that no ordinary monster can resist.

Not all monsters can be as clear-headed as Qi Hu, who has lived two lives.

The first lizard demon contributed to him the magical power of "seclusion".

As for the second one coming towards me.

Qi Hu was looking forward to it.

“Relax and unwind.”

Qi Hu patiently repeated his instructions to the little demon in front of him, and as usual, he raised his hand and placed it on the little lizard demon's shoulder.

Soon.

A puzzled look appeared on Qi Hu's face.

[You have learned the magical power "Fake Shedding"]

The virtual prompt data flashed before my eyes.

Qi Hu suppressed his thoughts, raised his hand, looked at the lizard demon in front of him and said gently: "What's your name?"

"I was appreciated by the leader!"

"I've also been appreciated by the leader!"

The surprise came too suddenly, and the lizard was immediately excited and ecstatic. He suppressed his excitement and said respectfully, "My name is Jialin!"

"Jia Ling."

Qi Hu was stunned when he heard it, but then he realized that the little guy was talking about armor scales, but he couldn't help but smiled and said, "This leader has remembered it. Let's go eat meat."

"Yes, leader!"

The lizard demon Jialin left.

Qi Hu was a little uneasy in his heart, not because of Jia Ling, but because of the magical power of "fake metamorphosis" he had obtained this time.

"Fake shedding".
It can allow Qi Hu to differentiate into a figure that is exactly the same as himself, with the same shape, appearance, aura, and power, everything is the same, it is a copy.

However, this figure can only be used to bluff and deceive people!
Because this "fake shell" has no attack capability and doesn't even have a physical entity. Once it is attacked, it will immediately disappear.

This magical power has no ability to attack, save life, or escape.

But it is very special. If used properly, it will definitely have miraculous effects and be of great use.

Feel the power of "fake shedding".

Qi Hu was so happy that there was no need for him to say more. Even though he was now able to hide his emotions, he couldn't hide the slightly raised corners of his mouth. He was so happy.

The solitude didn’t last long.

Qi Hu calmed down and looked at the remaining monsters again.

"That bear monster, come up."

When the warm ball of light in the eastern sky slowly moves directly overhead.

Qi Hu finally finished checking the last monster.

The remaining seven or eight little monsters failed to bring any surprises.

But Qi Hu was already satisfied.

"Immobilization", "Agility", "Earth-walking", "Pretend to shed".
He had acquired these four magical powers today, even if they were only entry-level ones now, they would greatly increase his strength.

happy!

happy!

Still damn happy!
I suppressed my itch and wanted to try out my magical powers right now.

Qi Hu looked at the remaining group of little demons who had followed him ten years ago and had already checked their magical powers and said, "Let's all go eat meat."

immediately.

He looked at the long-toothed big-horned man who was already queuing up to get meat and said, "Big brother, second brother, there is enough meat today. Cook as much as they can eat!"

"Ooh!"

"Long live the leader!"

"Long live the leader!"

"."

As soon as Qi Hu finished speaking, the monsters became excited and noisy, some even shouted "Long live!"

Qi Hu didn't care. He waved his hand, turned around and strode towards the cave on the edge of the cliff.

Hear what my third brother said.

There was no impatience on the faces of Changya and Dajiao. They knew that the third brother would definitely make a big harvest this time, so they shouted loudly: "You guys are so lucky. You are the one who followed my third brother, your leader!"

"Otherwise don't even think about eating meat like this!"

“Did You Know”

Changya pointed at the busy ghost Liu Bin and said, "His cooking skills have even been praised by our king. You guys are blessed."

"You better be more obedient in the future"

"Don't make me angry all the time."

The sound of Changya scolding the little demon continued to come from behind.

Qi Hu smiled.

He strode into the cave.

Sat on the soft bed at the back.

When Qi Hu raised his hand, two blurry figures, one white and one black, appeared out of thin air.

The white one is Hongye, the female snake demon leader with a human head and a snake body and a plump chest. She has fair skin and looks even more beautiful than when she was alive.

The black one is the bear demon leader Xiong Er, who has a bear head and a human body covered with black hair.

This was Qi Hu’s biggest haul during his previous attack on Snake Ridge, two leader-level minions.

However, at this time, Xiong Er's figure was blurry and much fainter than Hongye's.

Obviously much weaker.

"Owner."

As soon as the female snake demon Hongye came out, she started to flirt with him in a coquettish voice, but when she turned her head and looked at the bear demon beside her, she immediately smiled and said, "Xiong Er, do you know what we are now?"

The ghost is originally the transformed soul of the original body that was killed, so it inherits everything from the previous life.

Xiong Er recognized Hongye beside him and knew his current situation. He ignored his former colleague Hongye and just knelt down to greet Qi Hu: "Master."

Qi Hu didn't say anything. He opened his mouth and spit out a large amount of spiritual power onto the bear demon's minions in front of him.

Xiong Er immediately felt his own strength increase and he felt much more comfortable. He knew that this was a gift from his master, so he kowtowed and said, "Thank you, master."

"Thank you, Master"

Qi Hu didn't say anything either, but just exhaled another breath of spiritual power, which sprayed on the leader of the evil spirits, Xiong Er.

The third bite.
The fourth bite.
Until Xiong Er's figure became clear enough to be almost the same as the regular Liu Bin.

Qi Hu, whose face turned slightly pale, then stopped.

The stronger the ghost was when he was alive, the more spiritual power he needed.

Qi Hu couldn't supply spiritual power to two leader-level ghosts at the same time, so he could only provide for them like this on a daily basis.

Fortunately, the ghost was not summoned, so it consumed very little spiritual energy.

If he provides for them in advance, when the battle comes, he will be able to control the two leaders' minions, and together with himself, he will have the strength of three leaders.

Below the great demon in Yuandan realm.

I believe that ordinary psychic realm leader monsters will never be able to compete with him.

"Owner."

At this time, the female snake demon Hongye at the side saw that Xiong Er's figure was now clearer than her own, and she couldn't help but scream in a coquettish voice.

Qi Hu was too lazy to waste time talking to Hong Ye, who was as sticky as a piece of taffy, and just sprayed one at her directly.

The surrender of Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge.

The territory of Jindou Mountain expanded significantly.

But the One-Horned Rhinoceros King had no intention of continuing to expand.

The monsters in the Jindou Mountain, who had just conquered the Snake Neck Ridge and were in high spirits, had no choice but to calm down.

The first general, Hei Jiao, seemed to be afraid that Broken Tooth of Black Wolf Valley and Old Wen of Black Bear Ridge would compete with him for favor, so he did not move to Shejing Ridge as he had said to Qi Hu before. Instead, he sent his sworn brother Niu Er to manage Shejing Ridge.

He himself stayed in the main mountain of Jindou Mountain, competing with Duan Ya and Lao Wen who often came to see the king.

Three generals, three groups of monsters with harmonious faces but discordant hearts.
There were some undercurrents in the days that followed.

But with the pressure from the One-horned Rhinoceros King, the situation remained basically stable.

Qi Hu returned to his previous peaceful life.

All the trivial matters were left to the eldest and second brothers.

He hid in the cave and concentrated on practicing his magical powers, meditating, and improving his cultivation.

The days passed like this.

Time never changes according to human will.

Spring breeze and autumn rain.

Winter and summer clouds.

Blossom.

Yunjuan Yunshu.

blink of an eye,

That's ten years.
