Little Drill-Wind of Lion Camel Ridge.

That classic minor demon who sang "The king told me to patrol the mountain" was merely an inconspicuous extra in the original work, yet his fame far surpassed countless heavenly soldiers and generals.

More crucially, the concept of Lion Camel Ridge itself was one of the most perilous, notorious lands in the Journey to the West World.

The three Demons—the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Roc—which of them wasn't an illustrious, ruthless figure?

First set up the framework of Lion Camel Ridge, establish Little Drill-Wind's name, and then slowly fill in the three kings. This route yields combat power the fastest in the early stages.

Moreover, the true forms of the three Demon Kings... Green Lion, White Elephant, and Golden-Winged Great Roc, were not bizarre, outlandish beings; corresponding creature cards and materials could all be found within dungeon worlds.

Later, once conditions matured, placing the three cards down would naturally bring the complete concept of Lion Camel Ridge to fruition.

Having made up his mind, Su Mu let his gaze sweep across the grayish, hazy earth beyond Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Lion Camel Ridge, in the original work, spanned eight hundred li, with ominous Qi soaring into the heavens.

At most, he currently had only one square kilometer of dungeon space, so accomplishing it all in one step was clearly impossible.

First make a one-square-kilometer mountain peak to build the conceptual framework, and expand it slowly later.

Casting his consciousness toward an empty plot of land east of Flower-Fruit Mountain, he began injecting soul Power.

【soul Power -1】

【soul Power -1】

【soul Power -1】

The ground began to shake, and grayish-brown rocks and soil arched up from underground, slowly stacking and rising.

Unlike when he created Flower-Fruit Mountain earlier, this time Su Mu intentionally controlled the mountain's shape, making it steeper and more menacing, its ridge line thrusting diagonally into the sky like a knife's edge.

Only after smashing down a full 10 points of soul Power did the mountain's basic skeleton stand firm.

Su Mu did not pile on more height, setting the main peak at around fifty meters; he spent 5 points of soul Power to adjust the terrain, making the entire mountain look more like a treacherous, desolate land "infested with demons."

Once finished, Su Mu glanced at the dungeon combat index.

It increased by one hundred and fifty points.

This was no surprise; the combat value added by constructed buildings was linked to soul Power—spending 15 points of soul Power provided one hundred and fifty points of combat value.

With the mountain built, Su Mu moved the Patrol Minor Demon to the new mountain.

The moment the minor demon landed within the boundaries of the new mountain, its entire state noticeably changed.

It was no longer timid and restrained like it was at Flower-Fruit Mountain; its strides grew broader, its back straightened, and it trod the steep mountain paths as if walking on flat ground, its nose twitching from time to time as if sensing something.

The card's attributes still showed no change.

Su Mu did not stop.

Focusing his gaze on the new mountain, he said in a deep voice, "This mountain shall be named Lion Camel Ridge."

【soul Power -10】

A strand of information radiated from the depths of his soul; from the rocks at the foot of the mountain, a dark green stone tablet slowly broke through the earth, the three large characters upon it gleaming with a somber light.

But Su Mu waited for two seconds.

The minor demon's attributes still showed no change whatsoever.

He frowned, but his brow quickly relaxed.

Sure enough, having only Lion Camel Ridge was not enough.

Although the name Lion Camel Ridge was already a heavyweight concept from Journey to the West, the "relationship" between it and the minor demon had not yet been established.

Just like Flower-Fruit Mountain and the remnant stone of patching heaven, having only the mountain wouldn't do; there had to be the stone and the name "patching heaven"—only when both confirmed each other could the concept be established.

Su Mu looked toward the minor demon atop the mountain and spoke once more:

"This demon shall be named Little Drill-Wind."

【soul Power -10】

The moment the words fell, the minor demon's entire body shuddered violently.

A surge of dark green Demonic aura erupted from within its body, sweeping across the mountaintop like a fierce gale.

Amidst the Demonic aura, its stature rose visibly by a notch, its skin color turning from greenish-gray to deep green, a layer of cold gleam shining on its short blade, its straw sandals shattering to become a pair of short boots wrapped in black mist, and its comical linen short coat replaced by fine, dense scale armor patterns.

The illustration on the card face changed drastically; the originally rough and simple portrait now became exquisite and ferocious, and in the background, the outline of Lion Camel Ridge even faintly emerged.

Su Mu fixed his gaze on the information System Panel.

Name: Little Drill-Wind

Rank: A

Level: None

HP: 4900/4900

ATK: 420

DEF: 196

Speed: 385

Combat Index: 6548

Skills: Intelligence Perception (substantially enhances perception within the range of Lion Camel Ridge, enabling reconnaissance of enemy conditions within range),

Mountain Patrol Footwork (movement speed increases by 100% within the range of Lion Camel Ridge, remaining active during combat),

Glory of Lion Camel Ridge (within the range of Lion Camel Ridge, exerts 150% of own strength),

Call for Help (when realizing own strength is insufficient, will proactively initiate a Call for Help to Lion Camel Ridge. If forced into combat until HP drops below 30%, will trigger fleeing and Call for Help, increasing speed by 200% while fleeing. Currently no target to Call for Help, skill unusable.)

Looking at that string of numbers, Su Mu's eyelids twitched fiercely.

From E-rank to A-rank, it skipped three entire tiers.

Its HP had multiplied sevenfold, its attack power sevenfold, and its defense and speed had surged across the board. Its combat value contribution soared from just over five hundred all the way to just over eight thousand.

He took a deep breath.

Just a name.

He had anticipated an improvement, but he hadn't expected it to be so ferocious.

Su Mu was stunned for several seconds before slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air.

"Journey to the West... is truly ridiculous."

He couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Moreover, this wasn't just a numerical explosion; even the skills underwent a transformation. From two inconspicuous basic skills, they became three brand-new skills fitting the concept of Lion Camel Ridge, with an additional hidden ability, "Call for Help."

Most crucially, Su Mu was well aware that the Patrol Minor Demon's image did not actually match Little Drill-Wind at all.

The minor demon on the card face had a sharp chin and ape-like cheeks, greenish-gray skin, a short blade tucked into its waist, and straw sandals on its feet.

Yet the real Little Drill-Wind, in his memory, was wrapped in a headscarf, wore light leather armor, and had a bronze gong hanging from his waist. That appearance was more than just a little different from this green-skinned demon before him.

Even without matching the appearance, relying solely on a name and a mountain had elevated it to this extent.

If the appearance were also completely matched and the conceptual anchoring flawless, how terrifying would this card become?

His heart stirred slightly.

But he quickly calmed down.

Su Mu stared at the words "Currently no target to Call for Help" behind the "Call for Help" skill on the System Panel; having no target to Call for Help meant this skill was currently just for show.

Yet even excluding this skill, Little Drill-Wind's current stats could already be considered a miniature killing machine.
