In the next few days, Li Xi sneaked several times closer to the cave where the human monks were imprisoned, looking for an opportunity to enter the cave. However, the entrance of the cave was very tightly guarded, and Li Xi never had a chance to sneak into the cave.

That afternoon, Li Xi, who had just finished patrolling the mountain with the tanuki spirit, returned to the room, and he hadn't rested for long, only to hear a sudden sound of "Dangdang Dang!" from outside the door.

What's going on outside? Li Xi thought strangely. Confused, he opened the door.

I saw that the quiet road on weekdays became bustling, and many monsters who usually don't show up much walked out onto the street, showing excitement on their faces, and walking in groups in one direction, talking about something as they walked.

"What are these monsters doing?" Just when Li Xi was puzzled, he saw the tanuki in the distance rushing over and said: "Brother Ergouzi, go to the square to gather, this gong is the king's gathering signal, there may be something important to announce to everyone!"

The king's gathering signal? Li Xi, who was still in the clouds, was directly dragged by the tanuki spirit towards the square of the valley.

The square of the valley is actually a large open space in the valley, about 100 zhang in length and width, which is equivalent to the size of three football fields. Directly in front of the clearing, a high platform was artificially built with stones. In the center of the platform is placed a wide seat, next to the seat there is also a long flagpole, on the flagpole a big pennant fluttering with the wind, the pennant is written on the "Spirit Ape King" four golden characters.

When Li Xi and the tanuki spirit arrived at the square, the square was already crowded, and there were many monsters standing densely. The tanuki spirit pulled Li Xi, and finally squeezed away a bunch of monsters and came to the bottom of the platform.

"Brother Ergouzi, that's where the king patrols us on weekdays!" said the tanuki spirit pointing to the location of the platform and introducing it to Li Xi.

Then it said to itself: "The king is busy with cultivation on weekdays, and it is rare for him to come here to inspect, and I don't know if his old man will come over today!"

As time passed, more and more yokai gathered in the square, and almost all the youkai who were not on a mission came to this square. At this moment, suddenly there was another sound of "Dang Dang Dang!" in the square, and the bustling sound in the square suddenly fell silent, and the monsters raised their heads in unison and looked at the platform.

I saw a strong youkai dressed in bright armor striding onto the platform. It glanced at all the monsters in the audience, and when he saw that all the monsters were silent, looking at him neatly, waiting for it to speak, the monster nodded in satisfaction.

"Ahem!" The monster coughed, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "By the command of the Spirit Ape King, a martial arts tournament will be held in this square at noon tomorrow, and the final winner will become the commander of the king's personal guard!" After speaking, this monster did not stop, and as soon as he turned around, he walked off the platform and left the square.

As soon as the monster left, all the monsters in the square exploded with a "boom!", and each monster was excitedly discussing the oracle issued by the Spirit Ape King. There are also many youkai who are already eager to try, and it seems that they can't wait for the competition that will start tomorrow.

"Brother Bison, tomorrow's competition champion should be you, after all, your cultivation is the highest among our group of monsters!" A group of monsters gathered in front of the bison commander, patting their ass.

"Brother Tiger, with your strength, winning the championship tomorrow and becoming the commander of the king's personal guard should be a matter of course!" another group of youkai gathered around a tiger spirit and said flatteringly.

The little demons who were stammering around the bison spirit and the tiger spirit all knew that they were under the bottom of their cultivation and could not win in the competition, so they began to curry favor with the strong people they thought could win, hoping to gain some benefits when the time came.

The two bison spirits and tiger spirits, who were being slandered by the demons, looked at each other hatefully, and said "hum!" in their mouths, turned left and right, and left the square surrounded by their own group of demons.

Of course, there are also scattered youkai who may think that they also have a chance to fight, so their eyes are shining with excitement and anticipation, and they also leave here alone.

At this time, Li Xi asked suspiciously: "Brother Tanuki, what kind of position is this commander of the king's guards, why are everyone so excited?"

"Brother Ergouzi, you haven't been here for a long time, so I don't know very well, the position of the commander of the king's guards is not simple!" I saw that the tanuki spirit was flushed with excitement, and said excitedly.

"Our commanders here are divided into two types: ordinary commanders and commanders of the king's guards, like the bison commanders you saw when you first came here, they are ordinary commanders and monsters, they are responsible for the daily management of little demons like us, and like us, they live in the buildings on the periphery of the main hall. But the commander of the king's personal guard is different, and its status is more noble. It is directly under the orders of the king.,Convey the king's instructions to the ordinary commander youkai.,Usually also manage the command youkai and all ordinary youkai on behalf of the king.。 ”

"What's more, what's even more rare is that!" The tanuki spirit pointed to the white hall in the distance and said, "Those guards and monsters stay by the king's side on weekdays, and if they live in that white hall, they can also get more spirit stone resources every month!

"By the way, then how could the king suddenly think of selecting a personal guard commander?" Li Xi suddenly asked strangely.

The tanuki thought for a while and said, "It's not that it's not to blame those hateful humans, originally the king had a total of three personal guards. One is the crocodile demon general who just announced the king's message, and the other is a female monster scorpion lady, who is also the king's wife, and the last one is the tiger demon general. Unexpectedly, in this battle with humans in front of the valley, the tiger demon general and its two brothers were all killed by the hateful human with flying swords, so the king will choose one of the valley monsters this time to replace the dead tiger demon general!"

Then, the tanuki spirit said self-deprecatingly: "My ability is low, if I want to win the competition, it is definitely not possible, but the second dog brother, you can try, maybe there is still some hope!"

After listening to the Tanuki Spirit's words, the emotions in Li Xi's heart were also up and down, and it was difficult to calm down! That's right, as long as he could become the commander of the white-haired giant ape's personal guard, he would have the opportunity to get in touch with that treasure Breaking Evil Sword. At the same time, in the name of the Spirit Ape King, he can go deep into the cave where the human monks are imprisoned and wait for the opportunity to rescue him, which is really a double win!

It seems that I am bound to win the position of the commander of the guards! Li Xi secretly made a decision in his heart.

As the monsters left, Li Xi and the tanuki spirit also returned to their respective houses. Li Xi, who was determined to win this competition, rested early, and he had to keep his spirits up and play in the best condition.

The noon of the next day was coming soon, Li Xi slightly lucked the vitality in his body, only to feel that the vitality in his body was surging, obviously in a very good state, Li Xi nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, three loud gongs sounded outside the door again, and Li Xi walked out of the room with confidence, and walked in the direction of the square with the tanuki spirit waiting outside the house.

At this time, in the very center of the square, a large square open area has been enclosed with a thick red rope. Nearly 100 youkai armed with sharp blades and dressed in armor were scattered around the perimeter of the red rope, maintaining order and preventing any youkai from breaking into the area surrounded by the red rope.

At this time, there were already hundreds of black monsters in the square, most of them were in the mood of watching the excitement, because they had a clear understanding of their own strength, so they would not go on the field to bring humiliation on themselves. There are also a small number of monsters who close their eyes and recuperate, concentrating on luck, thinking that they will try their luck on the field later.

Among the monsters, the bison spirit and the tiger spirit are the most eye-catching, especially the tiger spirit, because the tiger demon general who was killed before is its kind. In addition, its self-sustaining strength is almost the same as the strength of the original tiger demon general, so it has secretly regarded the champion of this competition as its own must-win, and when it looks around, its expression is very arrogant.

Before the game even began, the bison spirit and the tiger spirit had already begun to release their demonic energy without giving in to each other. In the thick demonic aura above and below Zhou's body, the two monsters stared at each other fiercely, glaring angrily, as if they wanted to tear each other apart later.

Li Xi looked at the meaning of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, wishing that these two monsters would kill each other first, so that he could go up and pick up a bargain. However, he had secretly measured the strength of these two monsters in his own heart, they were both at the level of the primary demon general, if nothing else, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat them. The main thing is to see if the demonized vitality can be as strong as before.

With the sound of three gongs of "Dang Dang Dang!" again, all the monsters fell silent in an instant, and looked at the high platform with respectful faces. The sound of the gong just now means that the Spirit Ape King himself is about to appear.

Sure enough, not long after the gong sounded, a burst of "Hahaha!" arrogant laughter came. The white-haired giant ape, who claimed to be the king of the spirit ape, was surrounded by a large group of small monsters, and slowly walked to the platform made of stone, holding a thick black iron rod on his shoulder.

The monsters in the square, as soon as they saw the arrival of the Spirit Ape King, fell to the ground respectfully, and shouted feverishly: "The king is supernatural, brave and invincible, I wish the king a long life, longevity and heaven!"
