I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

In order to facilitate the implementation of the plan, Li Chen used the power of the Earth Ancestral Witch to hide all the golden phosphorus sand at night. Only in this way could he deceive the eyes of the demons.

the next morning.

"What's going on? Are you guys being lazy?"

A rat demon roared at the villagers. He did not look humble and respectful as he had shown to Li Chen before. Instead, he was full of arrogance and domineering.

"We don't know either. Normally, we can dig up a lot of these elf sharks with just a pickaxe! We don't know why it happened today!"

A group of villagers complained together. They didn't know why their luck was so bad today. Their pickaxe was almost broken, but they still didn't dig out any gold phosphorus sand.

"What the hell, what have you been busy doing for such a long time? You didn't even collect any golden phosphorus sand. Did you guys miss your meal?!"

Another rat demon yelled at the villagers and raised his whip to hit them. The thorny whip was about to hit the villagers.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Following a thunderous roar, the Tiger Vanguard transformed by Li Chen and the group of demons transformed by Fairy Hibiscus and others arrived. Upon seeing the Tiger Vanguard transformed by Li Chen, the rat demons immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Greetings, Sir Tiger Vanguard!"

"Hmph! How dare you! Instead of supervising the slaves' work this early in the morning, you're beating them up here. How dare you? If you delay the project, I'll tear your heads off!"

The tiger vanguard transformed by Li Chen had his eyes wide open and his voice made the whole cave buzz.

"Master Tiger Vanguard, please listen to our explanation. Since we started working this morning, these people haven't stepped on any of the golden scale sand!"

The rat demons kowtowed and begged for mercy, their foreheads bleeding, looking very pitiful.

"What? How is this possible?!"

Li Chen's transformed Tiger Vanguard pretended to be shocked, but he was laughing in his heart.

"Hey, you guys are not trying to be lazy and find a lame excuse for yourselves, right?"

The little demon transformed by the Hibiscus Fairy chuckled softly, her tone tinged with sarcasm. Her words immediately threw the rat demons into a panic.

"Hey, brother, that's not how it's supposed to be! Come and see! Those slaves have almost broken their pickaxes today, and they haven't even dug out a single drop of gold-scale sand!"

The rat demons hurriedly explained, their faces filled with anxiety and grievance. They were afraid that Tiger Vanguard would chop off their heads because of this misunderstanding!

"Huh, is this true?"

Li Chen, transformed into Tiger Vanguard, pretended to be skeptical and walked forward to check. He picked up a pickaxe and carefully observed the marks on it, and indeed found some abnormalities.

"Okay, give me a pickaxe and I'll go check it out myself. If you're lying, I'll tear off your rat heads and use them as duck necks to go with my wine!"

Li Chen, transformed into the Tiger Vanguard, said viciously, then took a pickaxe from the hand of a rat demon and walked into the mining area where the villagers usually worked.

After a while, a tiger roar was heard from the mining area! Then there was a huge earth-shattering bang! The force was so strong that even the earth seemed to tremble!

"What's going on? There's really no gold phosphorus sand to dig out here!"

Li Chen, who had transformed into the Tiger Vanguard, pretended to exclaim in surprise. He threw the pickaxe in his hand with force, and a big hole was smashed into the ground, and the pickaxe sank deep into the ground.

Li Chen's strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. However, even with such powerful strength, he cannot dig out any gold phosphorus sand in this mining area.

The rat demons were all surprised when they saw this scene. They originally thought that Tiger Vanguard was just talking casually, but now it seems that the matter seems to be a bit serious.

"Master Tiger Vanguard truly possesses divine power!"

The rat demons all expressed their admiration for Li Chen's strength. At the same time, they also understood that if even a strong man like Tiger Vanguard couldn't dig out the golden phosphorus sand here, then others would probably be even more powerless.

Li Chen knew that these demons were trying to flatter him, but he didn't care. He knew in his heart that these rat demons were timid and cowardly, and they didn't dare to offend him, so they could only try to please him in this way.

Thinking of this, Li Chen decided to put some more pressure on these rat monsters. He saw that the tiger vanguard he transformed into kept changing its position, and the pickaxe in his hand occasionally knocked on the wall and the ground, but each time it only made a crisp impact sound, and the expected golden scale sand did not appear.

"Ahem! It seems that this vanguard has misunderstood you. This mine seems to have lost its function and can no longer produce gold scale sand. In order to meet the needs of the king, we must find a new gold scale sand mine!" Li Chen's transformed Tiger Vanguard nodded solemnly, and his tone was slightly calmer than before.

Seeing that Tiger Vanguard's attitude had softened, the rat demons stepped forward cautiously. After all, Tiger Vanguard's angry look just now was too scary, and they didn't want to anger the tiger again.

However, when they heard they were going to search for new gold-scale sand mines, the rat demons dared not move forward. Fear crossed their faces, and they secretly prayed they wouldn't be sent out to explore new mines. If they ran into another Tiger Vanguard or a tough opponent, they couldn't guarantee they would be able to escape unscathed!

"Why are you little rat demons staying so far away from me? Speaking of the new gold phosphate sand mine, I thought of a good place!" Li Chengui said with a little excitement. When they saw the smile on Li Chen's face, the rat demons came forward again.

"Master Tiger Vanguard, please speak clearly!" a rat demon said respectfully, and the other rat demons around him couldn't hide their excitement. After all, if they could follow Tiger Vanguard and produce more golden phosphorus sand, then Tiger Vanguard could eat meat, and they could also have a bowl of soup!

"You all should know that when I went out to hunt slaves some time ago, I encountered a tough guy." The Tiger Vanguard transformed by Li Chen explained to the rat demons. The tough guy here was naturally Li Chen, but the rat demons didn't know that the real Tiger Vanguard was dead!

"I know! I know! Later, that man was killed by you personally! You are worthy of being our Tiger Vanguard, brave and unrivaled!"

The rat demons cheered in unison, praising Tiger Vanguard to the skies as if he were the most powerful being in the world. Their eyes were filled with awe and admiration, as if nothing was unsolvable as long as Tiger Vanguard was around. However, they didn't know that the Tiger Vanguard before them wasn't the one they knew.

"Hahahaha..." Tiger Vanguard laughed, his laughter tinged with a hint of pride and complacency. "But that guy did have some skills. He actually managed to escape from me. But I eventually chased him to the edge of a cliff, and he slipped and fell to his death. Then I led my team to the bottom of the cliff, cut off his head, and returned to the cave in triumph."

Upon hearing this news, the rat demons expressed regret, but at the same time, they also admired Tiger Vanguard's strength. After all, being able to force such a powerful opponent into a desperate situation was enough to prove Tiger Vanguard's strength.

"But what does this have to do with the gold phosphate sand mine?" one of the rat demons asked cautiously, fearing to anger the Tiger Vanguard.

Li Chen's transformed Tiger Vanguard smiled, a sly look flashing in his eyes. "Hey, there's an underground river beneath that cliff. The water is extremely turbulent, and at the end of the river is a valley. I discovered a large amount of gold and phosphate sand ore in the valley, but due to time constraints, I was unable to dig deeper. Now, we can go there and mine."

When the rat demons heard Li Chen say that there was a new gold phosphate sand mine there, they cheered, but they didn't know that this was actually a trap set by Li Chen.
