I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Okay, no problem. If you say that, I will definitely say a few good words for you!" Li Chen, who had transformed into the Tiger Vanguard, said with a pleasant face. He sneered in his heart. These monsters were so stupid that they were easily fooled by him.

Hearing that Tiger Vanguard was willing to speak well of them, the rat demons immediately became delighted and raised their glasses to toast Li Chen. Their faces were filled with flattering smiles, and their eyes were shining with anticipation.

At the banquet, the demons feasted heartily, munching on the fresh and delicious food and sipping the sweet wine. The whole scene was extremely lively, with laughter and joy echoing throughout the cave.

In stark contrast to the gathering of demons were the villagers. They had worked hard all day, but all they had to eat were moldy and rotten steamed buns that could break a person's teeth if they bit into them!

In this way, a pleasant banquet ended amid the joy of the demons and the painful wails of the villagers.

After the banquet, the demons surrounded Li Chen and took him to the residence they had arranged for him. This residence was deep in the cave, surrounded by rugged rock walls and seemed very quiet.

When I walked into the room, I found it was very spacious, with a big bed, a table and some fresh wine and food.

"Lord Tiger Vanguard, this is your residence! Are you satisfied?" A rat demon asked in a flattering manner, with a fawning look in his eyes.

After all, Tiger Vanguard is the most proud subordinate of King Huangfeng. If he can be valued by Tiger Vanguard, then in the future he may have the opportunity to be favored by King Huangfeng, thereby improving his status in the demon world.

Li Chen stood there, slowly turning his head and scanning the surroundings. He nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

He knew full well that the rat demons were so respectful to him simply because they wanted to please the Yellow Wind King by currying favor with him. However, this all happened to fit in with his plan, allowing him to infiltrate the Yellow Wind Cave with greater ease.

"Well, very good, very good! But I prefer to sleep with my brothers!"

Li Chen pointed at the little demons transformed by Fairy Hibiscus and the others, a faint smile on his face. His voice was calm and firm, as if carrying an unquestionable majesty.

Hearing Li Chen's words, many little demons responded in unison: "Okay, sir, you can sleep however you want!" Their voices were full of flattery and obedience, and it was obvious that they did not dare to neglect the newly appointed supervisor in the slightest.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the next day. Today, Li Chen and his team would officially begin their undercover journey, acting as overseers. Due to the constant surveillance of numerous monsters, Li Chen could not easily lend a hand to the suffering villagers.

But he did not lose heart, but waited silently for the opportunity. Finally, night fell again, and darkness enveloped the earth, giving him a perfect opportunity.

However, moving such a large number of villagers was no easy task. A foolproof plan had to be devised. Otherwise, simply moving such a large number of villagers would inevitably arouse the demons' suspicion, leading to the Yellow Wind King taking the villagers hostage and threatening Li Chen and his group's actions.

So, Li Chen, transformed into the Tiger Vanguard, and his companions, such as the Hibiscus Fairy, who had transformed into little demons, gathered in this room to discuss how to properly relocate the villagers. Li Chen used his magic power to form a soundproof barrier to prevent any demons from hearing the content of the meeting.

"Everyone, hurry up and come up with a reasonable plan as soon as possible. Make sure these villagers are quickly transferred to a safe place!" Li Chen spoke first.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then they began to discuss the specific action plan.

"I wonder if we can build a giant teleportation array? Teleport the villagers to a safe place in batches every day." The Fire-Eating Scorpion put forward his suggestion.

"No, you saw it today. When we were overseeing the work today, the demons would distribute food to a certain number of people at fixed times. We must find a way to transfer everyone there in a reasonable way!" Li Chen thought the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion's method was completely ineffective. He continued, "And are you sure this giant magic circle won't be discovered by the demons?"

"this…."

The Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion was completely speechless. Either they counted the number of people at a fixed time every day, which meant that if someone went missing, the demons would immediately notice it. Moreover, if they drew such a huge magic circle, it would definitely be noticed by the demons, and they would definitely suspect the identity of Li Chen and his group.

"Then why don't we kill those little demons and then take the villagers away?"

The Jade Rabbit Fairy said with a fierce look in her eyes. She was thinking about how to kill all these little demons and then take the villagers away from here.

"It still doesn't work! We are naturally resistant to the Samadhi Divine Wind, but the villagers can't!"

Li Chen rejected the Jade Rabbit Fairy's plan because, while it might be a temporary relief, it would expose the villagers to the Yellow Wind King's watchful eyes while they were evacuated. Li Chen and his team would then have to protect the villagers while simultaneously dealing with the Yellow Wind King, a difficult task.

"this!"

Now everyone was completely at a loss. It was too difficult to transfer such a large number of people without being exposed.

"Yes, I have a solution!"

Fairy Hibiscus said in surprise, with a bright smile on her face, and it was obvious that she had thought of some good idea.

"What's the solution? Fairy Hibiscus, tell me quickly!"

Li Chen asked anxiously. He knew that time was running out and he had to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.

"Master, you can use your identity as Tiger Vanguard to infiltrate the Yellow Wind King's cave again. Tell them that we accidentally discovered a new gold and phosphate sand mine while tracking down those escaped slaves."

Fairy Hibiscus told her plan.

"and then?"

Li Chen asked.

"Then, we'll say that the gold and phosphate sand mines here are almost empty and can no longer meet King Huangfeng's needs. To avoid delaying progress, we need to lead a group of villagers to the new mining area every day, which is the safe place where Li Zhaohuang is. This way, we won't arouse King Huangfeng's suspicion, and we can successfully transfer the villagers to a safe area."

Fairy Hibiscus explained in detail.

"That's a great idea! It can ensure the safety of the villagers while preventing them from being discovered by the monsters. But how can we be sure that King Yellow Wind will believe us?"

Li Chen asked after thinking for a moment.

"Don't worry, Master. King Huangfeng is extremely eager for resources. He will definitely be interested in new mineral resources as long as you mention them. Moreover, Tiger Vanguard has a high status in this demon cave, so his words should be trustworthy."

Fairy Hibiscus answered confidently.

"Okay, then proceed according to your plan. However, you must be careful and cautious during the action and not reveal any flaws."

Li Chen warned that if this plan failed, it would mean that everyone would be surrounded by demons and the villagers' lives would be difficult to save.

"Understood, Master. We will certainly proceed with caution."

Everyone nodded in response, and then began to rest and prepare to implement the plan tomorrow.
