Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 97: Reborn, the world is bright and the future is bright!
"This way."

On one side of the river with surging waves, there is vast expanse of snow.

On the river bank, among the lush aquatic plants, weeds and thorns, one or two soft voices could be heard from time to time.

But I can only hear the sound but not see its form.

More than half an hour later.

At the edge of a bend in the turbulent river, in front of a half-dried cave along the riverbank, close to the river.

Three figures with tiger heads, deer heads and elephant heads appeared.

They were the three Qi Hu brothers.

“This is it”

Qi Hu said this and was the first to take the lead and walk in.

This cave is slightly smaller than the previous underground cave. The taller Qi Hu and the eldest brother Changya can only bend down and lower their heads, but the shortest one, Dajiao, can walk straight in without any problem.

The space inside the cave is a little small, but it can still accommodate the three brothers without any problem.

The three brothers adapted to the unfamiliar environment in the wild as if it were their own home.

No discomfort.

Because it is close to the water, the cave is somewhat humid.

Changya immediately prepared to go out to find some straw and dry firewood to make a fire.

But Qi Hu stopped him and said, "The Black Horn must be frantically looking for us at this time, let's start the fire later."

The words fell.

Changya stopped walking immediately, turned around and looked at Qi Hu, who was in a mess, with blood on the corner of his mouth. He was obviously injured. He said in a low voice: "Third brother, it's my fault that I can't help you."

"So is my second brother."

Hearing his eldest brother's words, Da Jiao also sighed and said, "Third brother has always been the one taking care of me all these years. Second brother feels really guilty."

Hear what my two brothers said.

Qi Hu's heart suddenly warmed up, and he smiled and said, "We are all brothers, it's too formal to say these things. I still remember when we first started, wasn't I also relying on my eldest brother and second brother to take care of me?"

"It was on Jindou Mountain. Over the years, it was my elder brother and second brother who helped me look after and manage the monsters below, so I could concentrate on my cultivation."

"We are all brothers, please don't say such things again in the future, otherwise I will be really unhappy."

Hearing Qi Hu's words.

Changya and Dajiao's expressions relaxed a little.

Changya then walked over to Qi Hu and sat down, asking, "Before this, before my third brother returned to the mountain, General Heijiao had always praised my third brother. During the several gatherings, he also asked when my third brother would return. How come he now regards my third brother and us as enemies?"

"Third brother, just tell me directly, otherwise I will definitely not be in the mood to do anything else tonight."

Hearing what his eldest brother said, Da Jiao who was sitting next to him also sat over.

He didn't say anything, but just looked at Qi Hu. Like his elder brother, he obviously wanted to know too.

Hearing this, Qi Hu smiled.

He had not intended to hide it from his elder and second brothers, but the matter was a bit long, and he had originally planned to tell them later. Now that the black horn had come to kill him, his elder and second brothers should have known about it, so he said, "This matter is very long, but it is also very simple."

As he spoke, Qi Hu spread out his big hands, and a ball of faint white demonic power immediately appeared in front of Changya Dajiao.

Qi Hu then said, "Brother, aren't you curious about why my cloud changed from black to white? That's why. Can you tell anything, brother?"

"This is."

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Changya Dajiao immediately looked carefully. Apart from noticing that the magic power in the third brother's hand was completely different in color from their magic power, there seemed to be no other difference.

Changya frowned and said: "Third brother, this demon power is white, and it seems to be cleaner."

Upon hearing the voice, Qi Hu looked at his second brother.

Da Jiao frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly said, "I agree with my eldest brother. Third brother's power is indeed different from ours."

It wasn't surprising to hear both of my sworn brothers express their surprise, but neither of them hit the nail on the head.

Although the eldest brother Changya is now in the spiritual realm, it is still too short a time and he has not learned much.

As for the second brother Da Jiao, although he is smarter than the average little demon and loves to think, his cultivation is too low and his vision and knowledge are even smaller.

It’s normal not to know, or not to be able to think of that key point.

Because it is still too early and far away for them to need to change their skills.

So Qi Hu said directly: "Because the skills are different."

Hearing Qi Hu's words.

Changya and Dajiao's faces were suddenly filled with confusion, doubt, sudden enlightenment, and finally, they showed expressions that seemed to understand but not quite.

Qi Hu continued: "The Black Horn saw that I had changed my technique, so he wanted to force me to hand it over. That's why he was chasing you and me."

Changya reacted at this time and immediately said, "Is this the reason why the third brother took the eldest brother and the second brother to leave the mountain in a hurry?"

"kindness"

Qi Hu nodded, and then said: "As for my martial arts, it was a reward I got after an unexpected opportunity outside, and after going through untold hardships. This is also the reason why I went out several times."

"Don't say that I can't pass on this skill, and I can't take it away either!"

"Even if it can be transmitted, Black Horn can't do it!"

"If he can't do anything to me, he will definitely do something to you. This is why I must take my elder brother and second brother away from Jindou Mountain."

"I just didn't expect that the black horn thief was still determined to do it."

He was telling the truth. Ever since he encountered the black horn when he returned to the mountain a few days ago, although the other party asked a lot of questions, he did not show any intention of coveting his skills, nor did he show any hostility or malice.

But out of caution, after meeting the unicorn and getting permission, he immediately ran away with his elder and second brothers!
To be honest, he thought he was being cautious and careful enough.

However, he never expected that Black Horn was thinking about him so deeply.

He even hid with his elder and second brothers for three days, but they still couldn't escape the other party and were finally hit.

In this regard, Qi Hu could only say that he underestimated the value of his own skills. Besides the dangers in the world, the final problem was his own.

Now thinking back, after he became the State Master of Chechi State, completed the task assigned by Zhang Tianshi, was rewarded with martial arts, slept with a fox spirit at the Yuandan level, prayed for rain for Chechi State for a year, greatly alleviated the drought in Chechi State, and finally received unprecedented gratitude and praise, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Yes, although he was cautious on the way back to the mountain, there were no problems with the series of operations after returning to the mountain.

But he still felt that he was a little bit floating before today
Because you are not cautious enough!
If he was cautious enough, he should not have taken the road to the west leading to the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang, because he knew it was safe here, and Heijiao knew the same.

He and his older brother would definitely not be able to outrun the other side.

If he was careful enough, he should not have only rested in the underground cave for three days, but should have hidden for at least three to five months, or even half a year or a year, so that the black horn would completely give up.

Instead of hiding for a few days, you are confident that you are safe.

The world is dangerous!

He doesn't understand it deeply enough.

This experience taught him a profound lesson!
The cost was not small, but fortunately no serious injuries were sustained.

At the same time, he remembered Heijiao deeply. When he achieved the Yuandan realm, he would definitely settle the score with Heijiao. If he did not die at the hands of Sun Wukong, he would send him off personally.

"Third brother, isn't it said on the mountain that you are valued by the king?"

At this time, Da Jiao couldn't help but say, "How dare Hei Jiao deal with Third Brother?"

"The king values ​​you."

Hearing what Da Jiao said, Qi Hu shook his head softly: "It's just like you and me watching those tiny ants carrying food, and we saw one of the bigger ones, or the stronger ones, or the ones that looked smarter, and rewarded it with a piece of meat."

"You and I are like ants in our eyes in the eyes of monsters like the king. It's the same principle."

"In the final analysis, it's because we are too weak, and being weak is a sin!"

After hearing this, Longfang and Bighorn fell silent.

Qi Hu smiled and said, "No matter how hard it is, it's all over. From now on, we brothers will go to Chechi Country to practice, and we don't need to be controlled by anyone. When we become great monsters in the future, we can come back to seek revenge. It's no big deal!"

"Third brother, what you said makes sense!"

Changya nodded immediately and said firmly: "We brothers will work together and come back to kill him in the future. Then we will let Black Horn have a taste of what he suffered today."

After chatting and laughing for a while.

The three brothers' mood immediately improved a lot.

At this time, Da Jiao picked up a large fish scale from the cave entrance, and found more fish scales in the damp cave. He then turned around and said, "Third brother, this cave can't be the home of a fish monster, right?"

When Changya heard about the fish demon, he immediately became interested and stepped forward to take the large fish scale and looked at it. He immediately laughed and said, "It's even better if it belongs to the fish demon. If he dares to come ashore and deliver the meat to us, we can just kill him and eat the meat."

Qi Hu also took the fish fillet and looked at it. He smelled the fish scales and realized it was just a small demon, so he didn't care.

Just like Changya said, if a fish monster really comes to the door, just kill it and eat the meat.

Just as the three Qi Hu brothers were quickly calming down.

Over the narrow valley.

A tall and strong bull demon with two horns on his head and dark skin was riding the rolling black wind in the sky, trying his best to look down at the dense and lush forests, weeds, and patches of thorn bushes below, sweeping his mind over them.

This was naturally General Jindoushan, the bull demon Heijiao who had been running wild and showing off his power in the territory of the rabbit demon Hongyan not far away. He estimated that the tiger demon Qishanjun and his brothers Changya and the deer demon should have run over here and hid, so he chased after them.

But he kept finding the answers from noon till evening.

The sky went from bright to dark, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.

Apart from finding a large number of mortal beasts and some scattered small demons, he was unable to find the two brothers with long teeth. As for the tiger demon, he didn't even see a hair.

He was sure that the three brothers must be hiding, because this area was the border of the territories of several monsters and it was a no-man's land. It was also the survival place for some scattered monsters. It was perfect for them to hide here. No wonder the tiger monster had hidden here before.

But Noire is very patient.

He didn't have any clues before, but he spent days and nights searching.

Now that we are almost catching the tiger monster, we are naturally more confident and patient.

He was determined to obtain the martial arts from the tiger demon and would not give up until he got it!
So, he began to use his divine sense to search the mountains and forests below inch by inch in a dragnet-like manner.

And this search lasted a whole month.

A month later.

East of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom.

On one side are the vast and verdant highest peaks and above the highest tree crowns.

Heijiao, a middle-aged, dark-skinned, tall and strong man with an ordinary appearance, stood on the top of the tree canopy, looking at the vast forest below, and at the safest road out of the Jindou Mountain Range, his eyes were a little confused.

Ever since the day when he was disturbed by the rabbit demon Hongyan and the tiger demon Qi Shanjun ran away, he has been searching until now.

It's been a full month.

However, there was still no trace of the tiger demon, and the three brothers seemed to have disappeared.

But Hei Jiao knew that they must be hiding.

Unfortunately, he was not strong enough to be as arrogant as the rabbit monster Red Eyes and he dared to directly enter the other party's territory to search.

However, he was helpless against some monster territories that were equal to him or in the late Yuandan realm and more powerful.

If it were any other matter, with his king around, Hei Jiao would definitely not be afraid.

But he would rather his own king not know about the capture of the tiger demon Qi Shanjun, so how could he dare to show off his power in the king's name?

Therefore, after searching the rabbit monster Red Eye, the lawless valley, and the territory of a rat monster nearby, Heijiao failed to find the three brothers of the tiger monster Qi Shanjun, so he waited at this exit.

Because if the tiger demon wants to get out, it must pass through here. As for other places, they are too dangerous. He believes that the tiger demon will never dare to leave.

Just like he blocked the tiger demon's way a month ago.

He trusts his own judgment.

Just like he believed that the tiger demon must be hiding somewhere and must not have come out yet.

And he also planned to wait.

"Tiger demon, I don't believe you won't come out"

"You definitely won't be able to escape this time!"

His eyes instantly became determined, Heijiao glanced at the road he came from in the distance, then jumped down and quickly flew into the forest below.

Just when Heijiao was waiting at the intersection of the forest east of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, ready to wait and see.

East of Jindou Mountain.

Among the vast and endless mountains.

There is a valley with high cliffs, thick rocks and jagged rocks.

A tall tiger demon was sitting in front of a small pond, holding a simple fishing rod made of bamboo, and fishing with his eyes closed.

On the side, a tall and strong elephant monster with a shorter stature was sitting beside it, chewing the bloody flesh of a dead deer in its arms, but its eyes were constantly looking towards the hidden cave hidden behind the lush thorn bushes a little further away on the opposite side.

At this moment, there was a slight touch on the fishing rod and line.

The tiger demon, who had his eyes closed to rest, immediately opened his eyes, picked up the fishing rod, and caught a small fish that was no longer than an adult's finger.

The tiger demon then said, "Open your mouth."

The elephant monster next to him immediately opened its bloody mouth.

The tiger demon swung the fishing rod, and the small fish flew into the elephant demon's big mouth with incredible accuracy.

The elephant demon smacked his lips, spit out the fishhook, and couldn't help but say, "Third brother, when will the second brother be able to break through? It's been two days! I broke through in one night, so he won't have any accidents, right?"

Hearing what the elephant demon said, the tiger demon simply hung a bit of bloody venison on the fishhook he bought from the human world, and said calmly: "It's okay, just wait, and the breakthrough will come naturally when it's time. Don't you understand the character of the second brother?"

As he spoke, the tiger demon threw the fishing hook with venison on it into the small pond again.

After being told this by the tiger demon.

The elephant demon sighed, turned around, looked at the tiger demon and said, "Third brother, this fish is tasty, but there is too little meat. Why don't you catch a few more?"

But the tiger demon ignored him and just continued to close his eyes and fish quietly.

These tiger monster and elephant monster are naturally the two brothers Qi Hu and Chang Ya.

More than half a month ago.

The three Qi Hu brothers hid in a cave by the river for ten days.

Ten days later.

Realize that Black Horn is likely still waiting on the road leading to the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang.

Qi Hu resolutely took his elder and second brothers and headed east to Chechi State, which was the route he took to return to the mountain before.

Although it is dangerous, Qi Hu would rather go east than be waited for by Heijiao.

then.

The three Qi Hu brothers began their long and circuitous journey.

For safety reasons, whenever Qi Hu sensed any serious danger, he would immediately take his brothers to take a detour.

Although it took more than half a month to cover only one-third of the distance to Tongtian River, it was still incredibly slow.

It only took Qi Hu half a month to return to the mountain.

But they were safe at last, and all three brothers made it through safely.

It must be the experiences during this period that have made the three brothers grow a lot.

three days ago.

The second brother Da Jiao felt that the opportunity for a breakthrough had arrived, so he began to practice in seclusion.

Qi Hu and Chang Ya were guarding outside.

This guard lasted for two days.

Qi Hu had some free time so he started fishing for small fish.

Long teeth chewing raw deer.

Time passed slowly.

After eating the venison, Changya waited for a long time for no fish, so he lay down and fell asleep.

Qi Hu remained calm and continued fishing.

As the sky gradually darkened.

at this time.

A huge spiritual energy suddenly came out from the cave opposite, scaring away a large number of beasts and birds.

For an instant.

Qi Hu, who had his eyes closed to rest, suddenly opened them, and Chang Ya, who was sleeping soundly, was immediately awakened.

The two brothers ran towards the cave opposite.

But when they arrived in front of the cave.

Qi Hu stopped immediately and stopped his elder brother Chang Ya who wanted to rush in.

I waited outside the cave for a long time.

Then he saw Da Jiao, who was obviously bigger, walking out. Looking at Qi Hu and Chang Ya at the entrance of the cave, his eyes suddenly turned red and tears instantly welled up in his eyes. He couldn't help crying, "Third brother, eldest brother, I have made a breakthrough!"

"I finally broke through!"

"woo"

After the words fell, Da Jiao could no longer hold back, covered his mouth, and choked with sobs.
Qi Hu and Chang Ya looked at each other and said nothing. They just walked forward, patted Da Jiao's shoulder, and stood quietly by.

Two months later.

The edge of Tongtian River.

A huge white cloud broke out of the vast mountains and rushed towards the broad river.
