I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Damn King Huang Feng!"

Li Chen cursed fiercely in his heart. At this moment, he was trapped in that abominable wine gourd. Although it was not difficult for him to break out by force with his strength, doing so would definitely alert King Huangfeng, and his carefully planned poisoning plan would be exposed.

If he chose to make a hole in the gourd, it would also alert the Yellow Wind King, causing the poisoning mission to fail. Just as Li Chen was racking his brains to think of a countermeasure, a miracle happened - the lid of the wine gourd was opened again!

It turned out that the Yellow Wind King wanted to drink the oil again! Li Chen was quick-witted and took the opportunity to quickly fly out of the gourd. He watched with his own eyes as the Yellow Wind King drank the cup of poisoned oil, a satisfied smile on his face, and then he leisurely left the demon cave.

Seeing this, Li Chen quickly flew back to the place where he was responsible for supervision. He secretly felt lucky that the poisoning was successful, otherwise he really didn't know how to complete the task.

"Master brother! Did you succeed in poisoning me?"

The Fire-Eating Scorpion asked quietly.

"Don't worry, it's already been taken down! It's just that he seems to have taken advantage of you!"

Li Chen joked, after all, the oil he drank contained the fire-eating poisonous scorpion...

"It's okay, Master. Don't you also..."

The Fire-Eating Scorpion showed a bright smile. After all, being touched by the man she liked was not a big deal.

"Never mind it, go to bed early, and wait and see what happens tomorrow!"

Li Chen reminded the Fire Scorpion to go to bed early, and the Fire Scorpion nodded in agreement. They all fell asleep together, and Li Chen and his companions spent a peaceful night in the demon-supervised mine. Soon, the crowing of a rooster signaled the arrival of the next day.

The villagers also got up early, and the little demons who supervised the work with Li Chen also got up early. They came to Li Chen's residence, woke him up respectfully, and prepared fresh meals for Li Chen and his group to have a full meal.

Little did they know that this breakfast would be the last for these rat demons. Li Chen, transformed into the Tiger Vanguard, swaggered back to the demon cave and reported to the Yellow Wind King about their upcoming departure. Then, a group of demons, along with the villagers, marched towards the place Li Chen had mentioned.

There was actually nothing there; there was no gold phosphate mine. The nearest place was the safe area where Li Zhaohuang and the other villagers were hiding.

As for the rat demons, Li Chen had a plan. He intended to capture them all along the way and kill them all with poison. After all, to deal with rats, you had to use rat methods. Rat poison was a perfect choice!

To deal with these rat monsters, you can't use poison little by little like you do with other monsters. You have to use strong medicine to kill them directly!

Li Chen's Tiger Vanguard led the little demons transformed by the Hibiscus Fairy and others, many rat demons, and the captured villagers, and continued along the route designated by Li Chen. They stopped and started along the way, and finally arrived at noon. At this time, the rat demons were starving.

"Master Tiger Vanguard! Master Tiger Vanguard! We are hungry. Can you let us rest for a while before we continue?!"

The rat demons stopped and sat on the ground. They were completely exhausted.

"No! Get up, everyone! Keep going! The mine isn't far from here, hurry up! Get up, everyone!"

Li Chen imitated the furious look of Tiger Vanguard and roared at the rat demons, but these rat demons just refused to get up. They had been walking for the whole morning and had no strength left.

Logically speaking, the rat demons and Li Chen and his group had been running for the entire morning and had no strength left. This should have been a good opportunity to strike, but why would Li Chen be willing to miss it?

The reason why Li Chen did not take action at this time was because he was worried that these rat demons would take the villagers hostage out of their survival instinct when facing life and death danger.

Li Chen pulled out the machete on his back and wanted to kill the rat demons who were leading the trouble, but when he turned around, the little demons transformed by Fairy Hibiscus and others also sat down.

After seeing this scene, Li Chen had no choice but to agree to let everyone have a good rest and eat before continuing on their journey.

"Okay, in that case! Then let's set up a pot here and have something to eat, but hurry up. If we're slow and delay the king's needs, I'll chop off the heads of you guys who are leading the trouble!"

Li Chen pulled out a small medicine bottle from behind him. On it was a picture of the Five Poisonous Beasts, the venom formed after absorbing the power of the five poisons! Li Chen then stained his fingernails with the venom and came to the pots. He saw two pots cooking different dishes.

A fragrant meal was cooking in a pot, filled with mutton, pork, beef, fish, and all kinds of delicacies. There was no doubt that this dish was the meal of the demons.

The other pot, however, was emitting an extremely foul odor. It contained rotten buns and rotten eggs. The stench was intensified by the fire! Even more shocking was the fact that this pot was significantly smaller than the other one!

Li Chen and his group disguised themselves as the supervisor Tiger Vanguard and his group of monsters, so they naturally ate the delicious meat dishes, while the villagers ate small, rotten vegetables.

After a while, the food was ready! The difference between the two sides was huge. Li Chen was eating a fragrant broth, while the villagers were eating what sounded like swill, or worse than swill!

"Tiger Vanguard, you eat first!"

A rat demon said flatteringly. Li Chen nodded, then reached into the pot, grabbed a piece of meat, and stuffed it into his mouth at a very fast speed. His fingernails, already stained with poison, had already touched the boiling broth. The poison spread rapidly from the place where Li Chen had just touched to the surrounding area.

The rat demons were completely unaware that Li Chen had poisoned the delicious meal. They all used their bowls to collect the delicious broth, clinking glasses and feasting heartily. But they didn't realize that after Li Chen took the piece of meat, they hadn't drunk or eaten anything from the pot again!

"Ouch! My stomach hurts!"

A rat demon cried out while holding his stomach. His face was pale, corpse spots began to appear on his body, and he looked extremely painful.

"Brother, why are you..."

Another rat demon wanted to go forward to care for him, but unexpectedly his stomach also began to hurt, and purple-red corpse spots began to appear on his body.

Finally, all the rat demons fell to the ground, wailing in pain together, and then they all died in agony while wailing! They didn't even think clearly about how they died until they died!

Li Chen couldn't help but admire in his heart: "This Five Poison Beast is indeed a treasure of heaven and earth. Its venom can actually kill so many demons so quickly!"
