Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

A quest had been triggered, which left Jiang Liu with a sense of inner puzzlement.

Although his level had climbed to 20, and he had unlocked the quest function, the triggering of quests seemed quite ordinary. However, what were the conditions needed to trigger this quest function?

Was it just triggered passively when he encountered certain events, or were there specific conditions required?

Having obtained the game system for quite some time, there were things Jiang Liu had to figure out by himself, like looting equipment. Without opening the inventory space, the looted items would be under the corpse, and he had to search for them himself.

For instance, forming teams—Jiang Liu figured out that he couldn't team up with players more than 10 levels higher than himself.

However, this was just the first time a quest had been triggered. He made a mental note of it, intending to look for patterns once he triggered some more quests in the future.

Moreover, this quest indicated that there were no penalties for failure.

So, did that mean there might be quests with penalties for failure in the future?

Overall, carrying a game system into the world of Journey to the West was his Golden Finger, but Jiang Liu felt that this system was even more challenging than playing the games themselves.

Not to mention the trigger of quests. He didn't understand the conditions at all and had to figure them out by himself.

If this were in a game, NPCs would have a big exclamation mark over their heads, clearly shouting that there was a quest available here.

Shaking his head, Jiang Liu cleared the clutter in his mind. He and Sun Wukong had already left the small village.

Immediately, Jiang Liu spoke, "Wukong, that elder we just met mentioned being attacked by a group of demons. It seems there might be an organized group of demons nearby. Shall we investigate the situation first?"

"Master, why all the trouble..." Impatiently, Sun Wukong had already drawn his Jingu Bang.

Clearly, having left Five Elements Mountain itching for action, Sun Wukong had eliminated every single weak demon he encountered. Now, upon hearing of a group of demons, he was more eager than ever.

With a thrust of the Jingu Bang on the ground, the monkey softly exclaimed, "Local Deity, where are you?"

Following Sun Wukong's action, an elderly slim man, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties, emerged from the ground, evidently the local deity.

After getting up, the man paid respects to both Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong, "The local deity greets the Holy Monk and the Great Saint, may I know why the Great Saint has summoned this humble god?"

"Local Deity, I, Old Sun, am asking you if there are any demons nearby? This village next to us was slaughtered by demons. Are you aware of this matter?" Though Sun Wukong was thin and not very tall, his presence was completely unmatched by the nodding and bowing local deity.

"To report to the Great Saint, this Xiaotian Village nearby originally had no powerful demons. However, a few months ago, a Tiger Demon arrived, bringing a group of little demons and claimed the throne at Returning Wind Mountain thirty miles away. That Tiger Demon possesses a formidable cultivation level," the local deity explained, describing the most powerful demon nearby.

"Hehehe, a formidable cultivation level, you say? Even better, I, Old Sun, am itching to fight now," upon hearing the local deity's words, Sun Wukong was even more pleased.

"By the way, Local Deity, how is that demon addressed?" At this moment, Jiang Liu also spoke up, his eyes slightly gleaming.

Powerful demons were beyond his capabilities, but weren't those lesser demons just the Experience Points he needed?

The most important thing is, should I be able to complete my class change quest now?

Seeing Sun Wukong's belligerent demeanor did not surprise the Local Deity, but seeing Jiang Liu's eyes also shining, the Local Deity was slightly taken aback, yet dared not ask more questions, "Reporting to the Holy Monk, the Tiger Demon on Returning Wind Mountain is named Blood Tiger King."

"Blood Tiger King?" The name made Jiang Liu falter slightly, having naturally heard of this title before.

That day at Foutu Mountain, Blood Tiger King was defeated and fled, so he had escaped out of the Border of Great Tang?

That day, I almost died at his hands, it was because of him that the news of my Flesh of Longevity spread, leading to the later situation where three demons attacked me.

"Alright, Local Deity, you may leave," Sun Wukong looked up after clarifying the situation, his gaze turning towards Jiang Liu, "Master, we now know the whereabouts of those demons, shall we go? It's just a group of Little Demons, nothing to worry about. You rest well, I, Old Sun, can handle it alone..."

"No, Wukong, let me handle this. Stay by my side and support me!" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu interrupted him.

Hearing that Sun Wukong might go alone to exterminate those demons, Jiang Liu quickly spoke, joking right? Since I was worrying about the class change quest, isn't the group of demons at Returning Wind Mountain just like a pillow for a sleepy head?

Blood Tiger King, naturally, would be left to Sun Wukong, but those Little Demons, they are all my Experience Points.

"Master, you..." Hearing Jiang Liu's words, and being forbidden to act, Sun Wukong became anxious.

"Wukong, your master has an immature perplexity, I'm not sure whether I should ask or not?" Seeing Sun Wukong appearing very impatient, almost exploding, Jiang Liu began to speak earnestly and cautiously.

"Master, you, ask..." Sun Wukong hesitated slightly, casting a somewhat doubtful look at Jiang Liu, feeling that what he was about to say wouldn't be pleasant.

"You monkey, are you the type that bullies the weak but fears the strong?"

Jiang Liu, counting on his fingers, said, "You always talk about how during your Havoc in Heaven you were so powerful that even a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers couldn't capture you. However, after all, those were just Heavenly Soldiers. I've never heard you say that you defeated any truly powerful Deity. What about Erlang God? Have you defeated him? Supreme Elder Lord?

Tathagata?"

At this point, Jiang Liu paused slightly, then continued, "I originally thought you, this monkey, were incredibly powerful, thinking of leaving the Blood Tiger King on Returning Wind Mountain to you, but you always think about dealing with those Little Demons..."

Squeak squeak squeak!

With these words from Jiang Liu, Sun Wukong was left speechless, screeching angrily, "Master, you don't understand. The Samadhi True Fire of the Supreme Elder Lord is extremely powerful, and what about Erlang God? I, Old Sun, am not afraid of him, but he has a dog on a leash, as for old Tathagata..."

"Stop explaining, explaining is disguising, disguising is the truth, so, you say during your Havoc in Heaven you defeated just some minor gods, can't you defeat any truly powerful ones?" Jiang Liu, looking disdainful, interrupted Sun Wukong's explanation.

"Fine, I won't touch those Little Demons, I'll leave them all to you, but you have to leave that Blood Tiger King to me, I, Old Sun, will show you what I can do!" Being cornered by Jiang Liu and unable to speak, Sun Wukong finally said vehemently.

"This monkey, we can't spoil him too much. Praises need to be said, but at crucial times, he also needs to be suppressed."

Seeing that his simple provocation worked extremely well, Jiang Liu chuckled inwardly.

Chatting and talking, soon, the outline of Returning Wind Mountain appeared before Jiang Liu's eyes.
