I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 44: Hunting for Demons in the Crypt
  One reason is that this is a matter assigned by the green-haired lion monster. Taking care of this matter shows that he is loyal and everything is centered on him.

The second reason is that although Zhang Yuan knows how to cook, he doesn’t know how to cook! And these dishes are all famous dishes that are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Without a certain foundation of cooking skills, it is difficult to make them.

The captured chefs all have superb cooking skills and will then copy the recipes he provided.

As long as these chefs can reproduce the dishes on the menu, Zhang Yuan will be confident to conquer the green-haired lion monster and other demon kings.

After all, these famous dishes are not only novel, but also taste great!
  Zhang Yuan put away the recipes with satisfaction and began to restore his demon power.

In his plan, now that he has a fragment of the Chaos Bell that is very involved, and has received some inheritance from the Demon Court, the best way out now is to use the big tree of the three demon kings in Shituoling to protect him, and at the same time In the name of serving Shituoling, he will continue to strengthen himself and gather more luck for the demon clan.

Slowly exhaling a breath, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes and saw Yuan Ling coiled beside him obediently.

Perhaps he was the only living being she had ever seen, and due to the influence of some objects left behind by his mother, Yuan Ling was very dependent on Zhang Yuan and vaguely regarded Zhang Yuan as his father.

"Good boy, little Yuanling, after you have strengthened your muscles and bones, I will teach you how to practice."

Zhang Yuan has already received many demon court inheritances, so it is not a problem on how to cultivate and guide Yuanling.

Zhang Yuan believes that with the inheritance of these demon courts, Yuan Ling's future achievements will never be lower than those of the powerful direct disciples of Taoism and Buddhism.

After his demon power was full, Zhang Yuan left the Wanling Dharma Realm and continued on his way.

As he got closer to his destination, Zhang Yuan also began to pay attention to his own condition. Once his demon power was consumed by more than 40%, he would stop and meditate to recover.

Walking and stopping along the way, when Zhang Yuan arrived at his destination, the sky was bright.

What you can see is a desolate mountainous area with large tracts of cacti, one of the few plants here.

But the most eye-catching thing is a large crack that is hundreds of meters wide and more than ten miles long. It is quite deep inside and is a huge underground cave.

Hidden inside is the person he is looking for!
  After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan took out the green leaves given by the land of Qingmu Forest. With the magic power, the green leaves immediately began to burn, and the weak divine power lingering on them slowly dissipated and merged into the land under his feet.

Not long after, an old man with an old face and dark beard and thick hair emerged from the ground.

This old man who vaguely resembles Polygonum multiflorum is the earth god here!

Under the rule of Heaven, the lands of mountain gods in many places are all local monsters who are successful in spiritual practice and have great merits and destiny. After inspection, these monsters will be given the status of gods and become the lowest level gods of Heaven, managing a place for Heaven. .

However, the treatment is very poor, and coupled with the restrictions of the divine position, it is difficult to advance in strength. If you are unlucky, you will often be bullied by the strong.

All people and monsters who have some cultivation skills will call upon the mountain gods to send them to the land.

Like the land of the mountain god in Shituoling, you need to go to the martial arts training ground every day and obey the orders of Shituoling!

The gods above them basically ignored this and allowed the land of these mountain gods to be oppressed by Shituoling.

After all, no matter in terms of strength or background, the three demon kings of Shituoling are existences that these ordinary gods cannot afford to offend.

The Earth God emerged from the ground and saw Zhang Yuan holding a green leaf in his hand. He quickly showed a respectful smile: "Are you from Qingmu Forest?"

The Earth God of Cyanwood Forest and he are both Spiritual Grass Gods. They have a good relationship with him on weekdays and have already mentioned him, so the Earth God is extremely respectful and serves him carefully. Zhang Yuandao responded without saltiness, "Are those monsters still in the cave?"

"Report to the leader, I have been keeping an eye on these monsters. They are cooking in the crypt right now!"

Tu Tu quickly told what he knew, even the private matters of these monsters, he also spoke vividly.

"These are your rewards."

Zhang Yuan was speechless. This land god is so damn verbose.

Throwing out the promised reward, Zhang Yuan then warned: "Wait a minute, I don't want a third party to exist!"

These people who become gods through spiritual grass are all human spirits. When Zhang Yuan said this, Tu Di immediately understood and repeatedly assured:
  "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely guard this place. Even if it is a mouse, I will not let it enter the crypt. In addition, the little old man's eyesight is dim and his health is getting worse day by day. I may not be able to hear your call. If you have any mission, please crush this green leaf."

Zhang Yuan was very satisfied with the meaning behind the Tutu dialect.

After sending the land away, Zhang Yuan looked around and stepped into the crypt.

Soon, Zhang Yuan walked deep into the cave.

This crypt was divided into parts by earthquakes. It is quite large and has some caves. Coupled with the sunlight coming in through the cracks, this place can be considered a pretty good habitat.

As he continued to deepen, some sounds gradually appeared in Zhang Yuan's ears, and someone was vaguely speaking and lamenting.

Not long after, Zhang Yuan came to the end and saw ten or twenty monsters gathered at the bottom of Nuo Da's cave, including a few humans.

But what is different from ordinary monsters is that these monsters have a good relationship with the few humans. They all wear Taoist robes, as if they are fellow disciples, and without exception, these people look sad and full of despair.

"Who?"

Zhang Yuan and his entourage did not conceal their movements, and the monsters soon discovered their traces.

The whole cave suddenly became agitated, and many monsters and Taoists quickly got up and quickly gathered together to confront Zhang Yuan.

Some of these monsters have antlers on their heads, some have tiger tails, and some cannot hide the scales on their bodies. As for their body shapes, they are even more uneven. Some are more than ten feet tall and some are less than a foot short. But if you look closely, Below, they all wear the same style of Taoist robes, and their demeanor and behavior are quite righteous.

What's more important is that their bodies are covered with pure light, which is completely different from those monsters in Shituoling that are murderous, eat flesh and drink blood.

Among this group of monsters, those few humans are vaguely dominant.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest looking at Zhang Yuan cautiously, but he didn't have much hostility towards Zhang Yuan and seemed to be quite friendly with monsters.

From the information he had received from the land before, coupled with what he saw with his own eyes now, Zhang Yuan had an idea.

Looking at the few weak monsters who were protected behind them, Zhang Yuan showed a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter who I am, it's who you are that matters. If I guessed correctly, you should be from Sanqing Temple in Chechi Kingdom." , the disciples of the three great immortals of Tiger, Deer and Sheep!”
