Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 303 Demons and Monsters Unleash Their Wrath and Launch a Surrounding Effort
While the three demon lords were still discussing how to deal with Sun Wukong in the Thunderstruck Mountains, news arrived that Thorn Ridge had been utterly destroyed.

The Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon King's eyes flashed with three parts shock, three parts rage, and four parts disbelief. He grabbed the demon who had come to deliver the message and roared:
"How is this possible?! There are nine demon immortals and eight thousand demon followers in Thorn Ridge, and the whole mountain is covered with Bone-Eating Thorns. Even if the enemy launched a surprise attack, it's impossible for it to fall so quickly!!"

The demon said:

"The messenger said that it was the former Marshal Tianpeng who set up the formation and sent down divine lightning. The Bone-Corroding Thorn, which was originally impervious to water and fire, was ignited when it was struck. In addition, a strong wind arose, and the entire mountain range was thrown into chaos in an instant."

"Marshal Tianpeng?" the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon said angrily, "Wasn't it said that only Sun Wukong was leading more than three thousand heavenly soldiers?"

The demon said:

"It's absolutely true!"

"Not only Zhu Wuneng, but even their master, the Demon Muscle Monk, went. He personally led a group of heavenly soldiers to charge into battle, and almost every one of his heavenly soldiers was carrying a magic spear that could kill a transformed demon."

"The brothers on Thorn Ridge could not withstand the attack and suffered heavy casualties."

"The Naked Ghost King was killed by Sun Wukong with a single blow, and the four old thieves, including the Apricot Fairy and her family, surrendered immediately."

"They even took Tang Sanzang and his disciples...and emptied the secret chamber of all its treasures!"

"Even that bald thief Tang Xuanci went?" King Si was extremely shocked. "How dare he? Huh? Who lent him the courage?"

"Aaaaaaah, damn it—!!!!!"

The Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon King flew into a rage, shoving his subordinate away and shouting:
"We'll settle things here before we go to Baoxiang Kingdom to capture that bald thief, but unexpectedly he's come to us on his own initiative."

"Then why don't we go back immediately, wipe them out, capture Tang Xuanci, and exchange the Golden Elixir with the old Buddha?"

"Go, immediately fetch my spiked club and golden cymbal."

"Wait a moment, Your Majesty!"

The Bull Demon King stopped him, and said thoughtfully:

"In my opinion, the unusual movements of the Heavenly Army these past few days suggest that they may be planning a counterattack."

"Upon closer reflection, could it be a ploy by the Ministry of War to send Tang Xuanci deep into enemy territory to cause trouble in our rear?"

"The great formation in this mountain range has not yet been repaired. If we go back now, once the Ministry of War learns of this, Tianyou and Huaguang will definitely lead a large army to attack the mountain immediately, and they will probably spare no effort to take back this place."

King Si said:

“Brother Niu is right. They are only three thousand men, and they are already surrounded.”

"Why should we go back in person? We can simply send another capable person to gather all the big and small demon kings over there and surround and wipe them out together."

Even if we can't kill Sun Wukong, we can still wipe out the others!

Upon hearing this, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon suppressed his anger and sat back down in his chair.

Soon, the three demon leaders sent messengers to the eighteen major and minor demon kings, instructing all the demon mountains and rivers in the rear to be on high alert and to report immediately upon discovering any trace of the Independent Regiment.

At the same time, they also planned to mobilize hundreds of mountains and a total of 130,000 demons, carrying magical treasures such as the "Banana Leaf Fan" and the "Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle", led by the five sworn brothers of the Bull Demon King, to gather from all sides and begin to encircle and annihilate the Independent Regiment!
……

After the Independent Regiment finished off the job at Thorn Ridge, they immediately set up a diversionary tactic under the command of Deputy Commander Pig, and then sped westward for three hundred miles, setting up camp in a desolate and treacherous place devoid of any spiritual energy and filled only with miasma.

Well known.

For ordinary people, working 996 (9am-9pm, 6 days a week) will shorten their lifespan; running ten kilometers at once could lead to sudden death. The same applies to cultivators; if they constantly engage in fierce battles using magic, their spiritual energy and true essence cannot be replenished in time, and their lifespan may be a billion times shorter than that of programmers.

Therefore, in the battles of the immortal realm, spiritual veins must be used as battlegrounds, or the quantity and quality of elixirs must be maintained, resulting in huge expenses.

However, the Independent Regiment only had three thousand men, while Tang Xuanci was already showing signs of becoming the richest man in the Three Realms. In addition, he repeatedly emphasized that "if something can be solved with a gun, don't bother with it." Therefore, there was no spiritual vein to set up camp, and they could afford to wait it out in the short to medium term!
Soon, Tang Xuanci distributed the pills he had just purchased for free from Thorn Ridge according to their consumption—the mage company received the most, while the artillery company received less—allowing the entire regiment to rest and recuperate quickly.

Also known as the cooks, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang cooked several demons and evil immortals with the highest nitrogen content, and ate them with some soldiers and generals who needed to eat meat to temper their bodies, along with wine.

Then, he grabbed the monkey and, with the most surprising discovery of the battle in mind, excitedly ran to the camp where the four old tree spirits were imprisoned.

It turned out that while plundering the Xuanke Laboratory in Thorn Ridge, Beaker saw a crystalline treasure being researched and suddenly told Tang Xuanci that this thing might help achieve controlled nuclear fusion and mass production of the Nine Yang Divine Bomb. He suggested that Tang Xuanci keep the person in charge of the laboratory and ask him about it.

Upon seeing Tang Xuanci and the monkey, the four experts in metaphysics were both surprised and frightened. They dared not conceal anything and immediately told them that the unfinished magic weapon was called "Snowflake Gathering Cauldron".

Because it is crystal clear and has a layered microstructure inside, it looks like a snowflake at first glance.

Its function is to continuously strengthen and refract the beam of light, finally condensing it into a single point, generating a smelting power comparable to the Six Ding Divine Fire.

Hence the name.

However, the Snowflake Gathering Cauldron is only half completed as envisioned so far, and many problems still need to be solved before it can be truly realized.

However, Tang Xuanci had no intention of making a broken cauldron for alchemy and weapon crafting. After calculating that the manufacturing cost of this thing was significantly lower than that of the Nine Yang Divine Bullet, and that it was possible to achieve mass production, he immediately ordered people to move all the relevant equipment from the laboratory over so that the four experts could demonstrate it.

The four tree spirits looked at each other, seemingly exchanging knowing glances. Then they heard the Eighteen Impartial Justices speak:
"It is truly an honor for the four of us to be able to exchange scientific ideas with the holy monk in person."

"However... the most crucial snow crystal structure in condensing this 'Snowflake Gathering Cauldron' is extremely fine, and it was created by my youngest daughter, Xing'er, the adopted daughter of the three of them. It was only done with the help of her supernatural powers."

"I wonder if we could summon her to demonstrate for the holy monk?"

Tang Xuanci didn't think much of it and sent the monkeys to bring the people over, but he had to be careful that they didn't try anything funny.

The monkey raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Which one is your daughter, the youngest one?"

"No, it's the one in the pink and white dress. The youngest-looking one is Fuyun Sou's concubine, hehe."

"Oh, the biggest one."

The monkey snorted coldly and said directly to the guard at the tent entrance:

"Go and bring her here. With me, Old Sun, here, these demons won't be able to pull any tricks!"

Upon hearing this, the four tree spirits repeatedly said they dared not, and patiently explained to Tang Xuanci that they were truly forced by the anti-demon, begging the holy monk to have mercy and spare their lives, promising to serve the holy monk and the Heavenly Court in the future to atone for their sins!
Tang Xuanci neither agreed nor disagreed.

A moment later, the garrison commander, following behind the deputy commander, brought back a female demon fairy.

What do you think she looks like?
DDDDDDDDDDDD
Her almond-shaped eyes shone with wisdom and a deep, dark light; the sound of her jade pendants mingled with the fragrance of orchids and musk.
If not for the thorns concealing her jade bones, who would believe that a fairy maiden emerged from the demon mountain?
Out of 10, I'd give it a 9.5. No wonder the deputy commander had no interest in military affairs and had gone straight into the prisoner-of-war camp.

Tang Xuanci glanced at his second disciple, speechless, thinking to himself that this fellow was really good at fighting and his troop deployment was superb, so why did he become so useless when it came to women?
The other party is already a prisoner, why bother fawning over them?

Even if they don't want to act recklessly, there are a million reasons to convince them.
