I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 23: Gathering Demons
  I saw a huge lion's head turning into fireworks and streaking across the night sky.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan was delighted and hurried to the fireworks place.

After traveling for about ten miles, Zhang Yuan came to a small oasis.

This oasis is not big, and the auras of many monsters coming and going shroud the place. The pressure of powerful monsters makes many beasts, insects, and birds avoid it.

In addition to patrols, there are also people keeping watch and setting fires. Although the number of people is not large, it is still a complete camp.

In the center of the oasis, there is a huge flag with the word "Chasing the Wind" written on it.

"who?"

Before Zhang Yuan could lower the demonic wind, he saw two demons rising into the sky, and the momentum of the fourth-level demons caused the clouds to disperse.

Zhang Yuan took out the token from his waist and said coldly: "I am the boss!"

On Shituoling, in addition to cultivation level, it also depends on position.

Although these two monsters are at the fourth level and are obviously higher in cultivation than Zhang Yuan, they are just ordinary monster soldiers under Captain Zhuifeng, while Zhang Yuan is the chief Zhuifeng and ranks higher than the captain.

Considering his special relationship with the green-haired lion monster, even Captain Zhui Feng has to give him some slack.

After checking the waist tags, the two monsters returned the waist tags with respectful expressions, stretched out their hands to greet them, and said, "Colonel Black Killer has been back for a long time, and our Captain Chasing Feng is still outside. Please go into the camp to rest!"

Zhang Yuan nodded indifferently and walked towards the small oasis under the leadership of the two monsters.

There is a clear division of labor in the camp, and all the monsters are busy with their own affairs.

Soon, Zhang Yuan arrived at the core area.

In addition to Hei Sha, there is also a sixth-level ordinary captain here, who is talking to Hei Sha.

As soon as he saw Zhang Yuan, Hei Sha stood up quickly and loudly said with joy on his face: "I said Brother Zong Zuanfeng must be safe and sound. Look, isn't he back?"

The captain beside him also quickly stood up to greet him.

"Thank you Captain Black Kill for your concern."

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he knew that Heisha had been thinking about him.

After all, a long time has passed since the breakup, and it was outside Shituoling's sphere of influence.

When Hei Sha heard this, he looked guilty and said, "Zong Zuofeng, I can't help you!"

"After we separated at noon, I went after a few fifth-level monsters. After killing them, I turned back to look for you. Who knew that I could not find you even though I searched the desert."

"As for the three little Zuofengs under your command, since I arrived a little late, one of them had already been killed. I chased him for dozens of miles and caught and killed his murderer. I avenged him. This is That little Zuanfeng’s relic.”

With that said, Hei Sha handed Zhang Yuan a piece of Xiao Zhuanfeng's waist badge and several other artifacts.

"Later, I took two little Zuofeng and searched for traces of you everywhere in the desert. Unfortunately, I never found you. I only found a few traces of battles. Later, Captain Zhuifeng issued a summons, but we didn't find any traces of you. The only way is to evacuate and wait here. I'm so sorry for you! Brother Zou Feng!"

Heisha didn't dare to offend Zhang Yuan, so he opened his mouth to explain.

The two little Zhuanfeng also got the news of Zhang Yuan's return and came to the fire.

Seeing Zhang Yuan looking at them, the two demons nodded, testifying to Heisha. "Brother Black Killer is interested, and I will remember your kindness." Zhang Yuan said, "After we separated before, I went to find the weakest water snake spirit. I originally thought that I would be able to kill him with a certainty, but I didn't expect him. I had a secret treasure from the Ten Thousand Snake Islands with me, and I suffered a loss. With the gift from the great king, I was able to turn the corner and kill the snake demon. But I also suffered some injuries, so I found a place to hide and recuperate."

Only Zhang Yuan knew about the sixth-level middle-aged beautiful woman possessing the water snake spirit.

As for the gifts mentioned by Zhang Yuan, they did not dare to go to the king to check.

In a few words, Zhang Yuan told half-truths and half-false stories about his own experience, and dealt with the two monsters.

There are many monsters with high cultivation levels in the camp, but the highest-status monsters are only Zhang Yuan and three others, so the three of them are sitting next to the fire. As for the other monsters, they are busy with their own things.

While Zhang Yuan was chatting with Hei Sha and others, three more fireworks flashed in the sky.

I saw a gust of wind blowing by. Colonel Zhuifeng, with a slightly pale face and tattered armor, appeared in the small oasis.

Captain Zhui Feng first glanced at the monsters present and then smiled at Zhang Yuan.

No one dares to ignore Zhang Yuan, who has a sworn relationship with the king.

Hei Sha later trained as a demon and was promoted to captain, but captain Zhuifeng was an old man from Shituoling.

He still clearly remembered that before Zhang Yuan had enlightenment, there were several monsters who bullied him for being stupid and teamed up to defraud him of his spiritual stones. As a result, when the king found out, he executed these monsters in Lingchi, and their souls were destroyed.

Therefore, even if he is Captain Zhui Feng, he is not willing to offend Zhang Yuan.

Therefore, he smiled as soon as he saw Zhang Yuan.

"The seven demon gathering orders have passed. Monsters that do not arrive on time will be dealt with according to military law!" Colonel Zhuifeng said coldly.

The lion head fireworks that Zhang Yuan saw before were the demon gathering orders of Shituoling. Monsters that did not return after seven demon gathering orders were issued will be punished.

After a brief chat, Colonel Zhui Feng said: "The remnants of Wan Shezhou have been basically wiped out. Tomorrow we will return to Shituoling with all the captures. I will not treat you badly and share it with you. Fifty percent, not a single thing will be missing.”

The captain Zhuifeng and the other captain were ordered to hunt down the remnants of Wan Shezhou. Now that the mission was completed, they naturally had to return quickly to resume their duties.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan looked at Hei Sha and said, "I still have to do the things that the king has told me, so I won't go back with Brother Zhui Feng."

After that, Zhang Yuan took out the five magic weapons he got from the water snake spirit, as well as some genius treasures, and gave them to Captain Zhui Feng.

As for some of the things that the middle-aged beautiful woman gave to Zhang Yuan, he hid them in the Wanling Dharma Realm and did not hand them over.

As Zhang Yuan took out the magic weapons and supplies, Hei Sha and the two Xiao Zuanfeng also took out what they had captured in this battle.

The enemies pursued this time are the core remnants of Wan Shezhou. They carry tens of thousands of years of information about Wan Snake Continent, and naturally have a lot of magic weapons and treasures on them.

In an instant, more than 20 magic weapons and more than 30 magic weapons were placed in front of the demons.

Among them, the two little Zhuanfeng only harvested three or four magic weapons and about ten magic weapons, while Hei Sha got more than twenty magic weapons and about twenty magic weapons.

Of course, most of these magic weapons are ordinary magic weapons, and there are only a few of the best ones.

"These are all the things I've been waiting for, and I'll give them to Brother Zhui Feng to take back to Shituoling! This time I met Brother Zhui Feng and got an unexpected harvest on the way. I should give something in return, so be it! We only need 40%, you can take it 10% of it will be used as our thank you fee!”
