Chapter 47: Tiger’s Roar and Dragon’s Rest at Wolong Ridge
Today, the Prefecture sent someone to remind Chen Yuan to be cautious of the Feixian Sect’s retaliation.
Unexpectedly, these words came true so quickly.
Members of the Feixian Sect have already infiltrated Qingshan County to establish a forward position.
After discussing some matters with the Qingshan County Magistrate, Chen Yuan left the County Government.
He headed straight out of the city!
Once outside, he weaved through the forests east of Qingshan County.
He arrived at a waterfall between cliffs tens of miles away.
He set his eyes on a hillock next to the waterfall, about fifty or sixty zhang high.
His eyes flashing brightly, he puffed his chest and with a soft shout, forcefully stamped on the ground.
Like a cannonball, he soared into the air, then his arms swelled dramatically and he slapped towards the top of the hill.
“Boom!”
The ground shook and the mountains trembled.
The top of the hill was forcibly severed by Chen Yuan and lifted.
Then, he hurled it outwards with great force.
A platform spanning tens of zhang was thus created.
After completing this, Chen Yuan’s thoughts activated the Banshan Tiger Talisman inside the Mud Ball.
Fifteen li away, a meter-long Mountain Cat with upright ears and long whiskers was crouching, hidden among tree branches, its green eyes intently fixed on a venomous green snake coiling on the branches.
The venomous snake raised its head in alert, its crimson tongue flickering as it hissed.
Meanwhile, the Mountain Cat uttered a deep growl that grew louder and louder.
Suddenly, it moved, turning into a blur.
It pounced towards the Green Snake.
The snake also shot upwards, opening its black mouth to reveal fierce fangs.
In a flash, the Mountain Cat’s paw, swift as lightning, twisted the Green Snake’s head.
Another paw firmly pressed down on its head.
Then, it opened its jaw wide, fiercely biting beneath the snake’s skull, and its sharp teeth penetrated.
Despite the snake twisting its body, it gradually stilled and eventually stopped moving altogether.
The Mountain Cat let out a satisfied meow, preparing to enjoy its prey when suddenly its body shivered, and a flash of fear appeared in its green eyes.
After growling a few times, it reluctantly dropped the prey at hand and with a leap, dashed towards the east.
Meanwhile, twenty li to the west, a plump Black Bear was deeply asleep in a cave, its snoring causing the cave to rustle.
Gray demonic energy expelled with its breathing, filling the cave and fluctuating with each breath.
The surrounding forest was utterly silent, no birds chirped, no insects spoke, all as if afraid to disturb the sleeping Black Bear Spirit Monster.
But suddenly, the sleeping bear “snorted,” inhaled all the gray mist into its nose, then abruptly sat up.
Its confused bear eyes quickly became alert, and it hurriedly turned over and, with its bear paws, dashed towards the cave entrance without daring to delay a moment!
And so, various demons within a hundred li radius, as if receiving some signal, converged from forests, caves, and the sky towards a certain direction.
This caused an uproar in the forest!
The originally quiet forest beneath the night sky slowly began to bustle.
Shortly, the Mountain Cat arrived first at the cliffside waterfall.
Following closely, it ran up to a figure, lowered its body, meowed softly twice, and wagged its tail, appearing quite submissive.
Soon after, a Mountain Boar, Little Blue Bird, Black Bear, Black Wolf…
one by one, little demons emerged from the forest to the area where the hillside was forcibly severed.
Each one appeared human-like, either crawling or bowing with their paws, gathering in front of Chen Yuan.
None dared to misbehave!
Gradually, thirteen had gathered.
Most of them were First Realm, newly enlightened and familiar with the ways of cultivation.
Only one of them, a Black Bear Spirit Monster, had reached the early stages of the Second Realm and had just begun to speak human language.
These are all Chen Yuan’s Contracted Demons.
At this moment, while waiting, something stirred inside Chen Yuan’s sleeve.
A furry little head suddenly popped out from Chen Yuan’s sleeve.
“Chirp chirp”
Squirrel Xiao Hua saw so many of its kind, its obsidian-like eyes shining with curiosity.
Then, it jumped down from the sleeve.
Afterward, it first hopped onto a Mountain Cat, chirping twice, seemingly trying to make friends.
But the Mountain Cat let out a deep growl and suddenly bared its teeth.
“Chirp”
Little squirrel got startled, chirped once, and hurriedly jumped onto the back of a nearby boar.
The boar snorted through its nose, its stout body suddenly trembling.
Little squirrel couldn’t stay on, and was flung off.
It landed on the shoulder of a large, burly Black Bear.
The stench from the Black Bear’s body made the little squirrel squawk, and then the bear swiftly scooped up the little creature with a large paw.
Sniffed it near its nose.
The putrid breath caused the little creature’s fur to bristle.
It thought this large fellow was going to eat it.
But then, the Black Bear Spirit stuttered some human language.
“Big…
big guy…
smells…”
Then gently put it down with both hands.
Only then did the little one realize, these fellows were either fierce or stinky, none of them were fun.
It put its paws on its hips, huffing angrily at these fellows, chirping away.
Some demons listened and bared their teeth fiercely at it, seemingly because the little squirrel had insulted them harshly.
“Okay, Little Hua, stop making a fuss!”
At this time, Chen Yuan spoke up.
As soon as he spoke, those restless little demons immediately calmed down.
Little squirrel chirped once, took a leap and a grip, and ‘swooshed’ up onto Chen Yuan’s shoulder, sitting with its back to him, turning into a little fur ball and starting to sulk.
Chen Yuan found it amusing, letting the creature sulk on its own.
Then his eyes flickered as he looked over these Contracted Demons, organizing his words.
“Today, I’ve called you here to make an announcement!”
“From today onward, this place shall be called Tiger Jump Gorge, and I shall be your Mountain Lord.”
“And you shall be the demons under the command of this Mountain Lord!”
As his words fell, Chen Yuan’s presence wildly surged, his body suddenly grew larger, revealing the Mountain Lord True Form.
Then, he let out a tiger roar that shook the entire forest.
The Contracted Demons under his command all wailed, crouching on the ground, trembling continuously.
Chen Yuan, with a tiger’s gaze from high above, looked at the demons’ reactions and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, from his mouth, he exhaled a stream of black and white energies.
Like a brush painting dragons and snakes, it drew an architectural blueprint in the air.
“Alright, get moving, start working according to this plan…”
As he issued the command, the demons sprang into action.
At first, it was a bit chaotic.
But with Chen Yuan’s direction, they gradually became organized.
Boars rammed trees, birds carried mud, Black Bears hugged columns, and beavers sawed logs…
A host of little demons each took up their roles, drilling in and out between the mountains, constructing what belonged to Chen Yuan’s troupe.
Chen Yuan watched all this, his spirit flickering.
Since the Feixian Sect was after him,
he would lure them into the pot.
Watching the bustling scene of little demons at work, Chen Yuan began his first day as the Mountain King!
