"Let's fight a big demon first to see how strong it is..."
Du Gang smiled and said: "It just so happens that there are still eight big demons. Let's clear them out one by one. Even if we complete nine tasks, we will choose the demon king for the last one..."
"good!"
After the four people discussed it, they started to clean up the big monster according to what Du Gang said.
At the beginning, they were still a little cautious, bringing guides and so on. However, when they discovered that the big demon was only comparable to a god, they completely lost their worries.
In just two days, the four soldiers divided into four groups and eliminated all eight big monsters.
The progress of their team's mission one has reached the level of (9/10). As long as they complete one more bounty mission, mission one will be completely completed.
On this day, Du Gang and others gathered together to take over the mission of the Demon King.
"Brother, isn't this too hasty?!"
Zhuang Nai looked a little bitter. These true disciples were all arrogant and arrogant. If they died there, he would not be able to escape the blame.
Du Gang smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. You have also seen our strength. In fact, when we faced these big monsters, we didn't even use half of our strength!"
"Not only that, the four of us have practiced formations that can be used together, and we are often able to fight across levels..."
Seeing that Zhuang Nai was still a little worried, Du Gang continued: "Besides, we have brought with us a lot of escape magic weapons passed down from our masters. Even if we lose to the Demon King, we can still escape with our lives!"
After several persuasion, Zhuang Nai finally agreed and let Du Gang and others take over the task.
"Senior brother, if you can't beat me, you must run away and keep the green mountains here. Don't worry about running out of firewood..."
Du Gang smiled and said, "Don't worry, we understand in our hearts, don't give it away!"
In this way, after accepting the mission, the four people quickly left Lanshan City.
However, after leaving Lanshan City, Du Gang stopped and said, "Go to the east..."
The other three people didn't ask any questions and quickly followed, traveling through the mountains and rivers until they reached an unfamiliar road.
Du Gang stopped and said with a smile: "I observed carefully for two days. They have carrier pigeons that exchange information with various cities every day. Only in this direction, there is only one every day..."
"According to the map, there is no city in this direction, only the Five Elements Gate. Therefore, they should routinely deliver information about Lanshan City to the Five Elements Gate every day!"
"And today, there is a high probability that Zhuang Nai will tell the Five Elements Sect that we are going to hunt the Demon King..."
"Once this is done, there are three possibilities. One is to recall him, the second is to send the masters of the division to follow him secretly, and the third is to ignore him."
"Except for the third type, the other two are not very beneficial to our cover status!"
Tao Xuanzhu's eyes lit up, "You mean, we intercept the carrier pigeons here and prevent the message from being sent back?"
"no!"
Du Gang smiled, "In the past two days, I stopped two carrier pigeons flying to the Five Elements Gate, and roughly read the content and handwriting on it..."
"After a while, a carrier pigeon will come. Stop it. I want to replace the content of the letter!"
When the three people heard this, they couldn't help but admired in their hearts.
As expected of Du Gang, he has done so many things without showing off his appearance, and they didn't know about it until now.
"Now, spread out and pave this road. There is only one batch of carrier pigeons leading to the Five Elements Gate every day, but there will be five in one batch. We must ensure that all five carrier pigeons are stopped!"
"Five?" Kou Yingwu was stunned, "Why do you have so many?"
Du Gang said with a smile: "This is because the journey is long. If you encounter aerial raptors such as eagles on the way, these carrier pigeons may be damaged. Therefore, basically, five carrier pigeons set off at the same time in each batch... "
"Understood!"
The three of them sighed again that Du Gang was cautious and even took care of these things.
The four people spread out and scanned with their spiritual thoughts. After a while, they caught all five carrier pigeons.
From afar, Kou Yingwu shouted.
"Du Gang, sorry, this letter paper seems to be specially made..."
Upon hearing this, Tao Xuanzhu and Zhang Xinyi, who had not yet opened the letter, changed their expressions and quickly opened the letter to take a look.
Suddenly, their hearts sank to the bottom of their hearts. The letter paper was indeed special, with a certain unique red color.
"hehe!"
Du Gang smiled lightly, shook his left hand, and a handful of the same letter paper appeared in his hand.
"I have quietly observed that the person responsible for delivering information to the Five Elements Sect every day is Zhuang Nai. In his study, there is a batch of unique letter paper, which is only used to deliver information to the Five Elements Sect. I quietly took some..."
Hearing this, the other three people all looked at Du Gang dumbfounded.
Kou Yingwu's face was filled with admiration, "I'm convinced!"
"You are my brother, you are too fierce, I didn't expect that you would even consider such a thing!"
Du Gang smiled faintly, "If I don't even consider this, how can I be the captain?"
"Actually, these are all the same. Since I am worried about them passing on information, I naturally have to think of good measures and deal with them in advance..."
"So, these are just normal operations!"
Tao Xuanzhu sighed, "Ever since we met, I have always wanted to imitate your way of thinking and your behavior, but unfortunately, I haven't learned even one-tenth of yours!"
"Compared to you, I'm still far behind!"
Du Gang smiled and said, "It's not bad. At least, it's much better than these two guys who don't think at all!"
After Kou Yingwu heard this, he immediately showed a silly smile, "Isn't it because of you, captain? With you here, we have nothing else to think about!"
Zhang Xinyi said sadly: "Yes, with my husband here, why should I think..."
Du Gang was suddenly speechless.
After spending the past few days together, Tao Xuanzhu and Kou Yingwu roughly understood that Du Gang and Zhang Xinyi were not a real couple, so they completely ignored their situation.
"Ahem!"
"Stop chatting and get down to business first!"
Du Gang quickly took out the Four Treasures of the Study, spread the letter paper on the table, and began to write today's letter based on yesterday's content.
After copying five copies in turn, he gave up and asked everyone to stuff them back into the legs of the carrier pigeons, and then released the five carrier pigeons.
"Okay, now we can safely go find trouble with the demon king. Once this mission is completed, we will leave the confines of Lanshan City and find a way to complete missions one and three!"
Hearing what he said, Tao Xuanzhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Du Gang, are you sure we don't need this demon king to hand over the mission?"
Du Gang shook his head, "Task three is to kill three monsters. The reward is calculated based on the strength, reputation and relationship between the monsters killed and the protagonist."
"This means that the more famous and powerful the Demon King is, the more rewards will be given!"
"Our Demon King in Lanshan City is obviously an ordinary guy. It's too hasty to use such a guy to hand over tasks!"
In fact, after knowing that this was the world of Journey to the West: Conquering Demons, he roughly understood the ultimate form of mission three.
The ultimate form must be completed with Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha as submission monsters. In this way, the rewards given must be maximized.
The problem now is still the same as before. Most of the others, or almost everyone, don't know the situation in this world. He is the only one who knows.
This shows that among the four of them, there is someone Tianting wants to cultivate quickly. This person is either him or Zhang Xinyi.
After all, among the four, they are the two most special.
He didn't pursue anyone's special necessity, but after understanding that Heaven was partial to them, he naturally wanted to maximize his interests.
Moreover, in order to save him from worries, the Heavenly Court even changed the setting of Tathagata Buddha and the Heavenly Palace.
According to Zhuang Nai's previous account, Sun Wukong was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace. The so-called Heavenly Palace was the most powerful monk organization in the world five hundred years ago.
Even Sun Wukong was sealed because the great Buddhist master sacrificed himself to do it.
Therefore, he has no worries at all and does not need to worry about whether these three monsters are the ones who should be robbed.
In addition, mission two requires the killing of four reincarnations. They have also been searching in Lanshan City in the past two days and have not seen any trace of the reincarnations.
This shows that the scope of the reincarnations' arrival is large enough. In Du Gang's conjecture, there may be only one group of reincarnations in a city.
Missions 1 and 3 are very easy to complete, as long as they kill the monsters, but the mission forces them to actively find each other.
How to find it
Du Gang believes that all reincarnations have one goal, and that is the famous demon king, or the strongest demon king.
As long as they have that goal and move in that direction, they will encounter it sooner or later.
"Let's go back to Lanshan City!"
Du Gang was walking, suddenly stopped and turned around.
"What's wrong?"
The other three asked curiously.
Du Gang smiled and said, "You don't want to come back to hand in tasks again, do you?"
"Pull someone together. When the task is completed, just ask him to come back and hand in the task for us!"
The candidate has been decided, it is Zhuang Zihan who we have met before!
Back at Lanshan City, although Zhuang Nai didn't want his nephew to follow him, he had no choice but to let Zhuang Zihan follow him because the four true disciples wanted him by name.
Before setting off, Zhuang Zihan's eyes were red and he said goodbye to his wives with tears in his eyes, as if they were parting from each other.
In the end, Du Gang and others became impatient with waiting, and he finally left the embrace of his family.
"It's not like you won't come back, so why are you like this?!"
Du Gang rolled his eyes, "Junior brother, don't worry. The four of us are confident of killing the demon king. I brought you with me because I just want you to come back and hand over a task for us..."
"I understand, senior brother!"
Although Zhuang Zihan said this, his face still looked like he would die generously, and he obviously didn't believe them.
After all, on one side is the strength that can kill the big demon, and on the other side is the famous demon king.
Of course, compared with the demon kings in the entire world, the demon king they are going to kill is not worth mentioning, but within this thousand-mile radius, this dog-headed demon king is extremely powerful!
The dog-headed demon king is exactly the target of Du Gang and others this time, a demon king who has been practicing for thousands of years.
A demon king can only be regarded as a demon king if he has cultivated for more than a thousand years.
It is said that this dog-headed demon king was just an ordinary black dog thousands of years ago. He was born in troubled times and ate a lot of human corpses. Only then did he gradually develop his spiritual wisdom and practice, and finally reached this point.
However, this information does not matter to Du Gang and others.
According to their calculations, the demon king level in this world is equivalent to their true god level.
If the four true gods cannot win against a guy who has just become the Demon King, then there is no need to plan for Sun Wukong. They can just find a place to trick the reincarnation space.
The five of them are all monks, and the weakest one, Zhuang Zihan, is comparable to a little demon, with a walking distance of about 800 kilometers a day.
The next day, Du Gang and others successfully arrived at the cave where the dog-headed demon king was.
After confirming the location, Du Gang did not embarrass Zhuang Zihan and asked him to wait outside while the four of them entered the house alone.
"You wait outside, we will come out in two hours at most!"
Soon, Du Gang and the four of them entered the cave.
"Brush!" Suddenly, the vision became pitch black.
Not only that, the entire cave was filled with a fishy smell. In addition to the smell of blood, Du Gang even smelled a hint of feces.
"This piece of shit is still pooping in his own cave. It's so annoying!"
Everyone had no choice but to hold their breath and move forward.
Fortunately, although it was pitch dark inside the cave, everyone was very strong. In addition to having night vision, they also had spiritual thoughts to explore the way. After a while, they found the location of the dog-headed demon king.
"Woof!"
A sharp shout spread throughout a ten-mile radius, and the dog-headed demon king was filled with rage and ran towards Du Gang and the others.
In his opinion, people like Du Gang were the guys who invaded his territory.
Outside the cave, after hearing this roar, Zhuang Zihan was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell directly to the ground.
His strength is still too weak, only at the level of a little demon, and the gap between him and the demon king is too big. If it weren't for his trust in the Five Elements Sect, he would have run away by now.
But even so, he retreated some distance, hid behind a tree, sat down slowly, and waited for the judgment of life and death.
In the cave, the dog-headed demon king, who was originally full of energy and rage, was stunned when he angrily rushed in front of Du Gang and others.
In front of it, four humans exuded the same level of strength as him.
“…”
It was silent, and suddenly it uttered human words, saying: "Can you let me go? I swear, I will never come here again..."
Du Gang and others looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads, "You are our mission!"
Mainly because he wanted to see how strong the demon king was.
The dog-headed demon king knew that his death was approaching, so he stopped begging for mercy and became furious.
"When the dog king is angry, his body will float thousands of miles away. Today, I will take five steps with blood splattered and fight to the death with you!"
“…”
The four of them were speechless. This dog-head was still an educated person, so he didn't know where he heard the sentence.
"Woof, roar!"
After a strange roar, the dog-headed demon king Du Gang rushed towards him. He understood that this was the leader of the four. To capture the thief, capture the king first.
"Don't take action yet, I'll test the waters with him!"
Du Gang quickly greeted him.
After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, he was slightly disappointed, "Although this dog-headed demon king looks equal to the true god, its strength is not as good as the true god. It is more like a patchwork state, with no attack power and no magical changes... "
After saying that, he didn't bother to try any more and just killed it with one blow.
