Four thousand and six hundred years ago, Huangdi Ji Xuanyuan joined forces with Yan Emperor Shennong to fight against the demon emperor Chiyou in Zhulu, and eventually killed Chiyou in the wilderness of Jizhou and destroyed the Taixu crystal in Chiyou's body.

Whether Huangdi and Yandi were purifying envoys is no longer verified. At that time, the saying "purifying envoy" had not yet been born in the world, but those who could fight against the demon world were regarded as people close to God.

At that time, rhinos were still a very common beast on the land of Jiuzhou. That year, in a deep mountain in Jizhou, a rhino absorbed the yin energy of the Battle of the Battle of Lu and died, and accidentally became an ordinary monster.

After Chiyou's defeat, the demon world was very sluggish because of the loss of Taixu Crystal, and in the next five hundred years, Taixu Crystal was not reborn.

One day five hundred years later, the monsters in the world suddenly returned to their peak, which meant that the Taixu Crystal had been reborn somewhere in the world. In order to become the new demon king and revitalize the demon world, the demon king Manqu wandered around the land of China, activated the Prajna ability, and gathered an increasingly powerful beast demon legion.

One year, Manqu traveled to Jizhou, and the rhino monster was captured by Manqu’s Prajna ability and became his subordinate. Among the thousands of monsters in Manqu, the existence of the rhino monster seemed inconspicuous.

However, just two years later, the rhino monster ushered in his highlight moment.

That year, the leader of human beings was the descendant of Huangdi, Dayu, and the new demon emperor was Taotie, the "king of all beasts". Manqu was eager to prove his ability to the demon world, so he launched an attack on Dayu, trying to defeat the backbone of the human world in one fell swoop and find an opportunity in the future in the process of competing for the Taixu Crystal.

Unexpectedly, there was a person close to the gods in Dayu's camp, the goddess Xiayue, who led the Chinese soldiers to fight Manqu for three days and three nights, and finally defeated Manqu's attack and drove him south of the Yellow River. The goddess Xiayue wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue him. If no one supported her, once she crossed the Yellow River, Manqu would definitely die in that battle.

At this time, the destructive ability in the rhino monster awakened, and with a roar, it evoked a flood on the Yellow River. It not only blocked the pursuit of the goddess Xiaoyue, but also spread across the Central Plains, endlessly, flooding overwhelming crops, roads, and human houses...

From then on, Dayu had to start a thirteen-year flood control project, and he had no time to take into account the destruction of Manqu.

"My God, I didn't expect that you, the rhino monster, actually has such a huge demonic power! I think there must be a story behind your demonic formation." Manqu was deeply shocked by the rhino monster, and recalled it carefully. Then he remembered that the rhino monster met him in Jizhou, and based on the annual rings on its rhino horn, it was inferred that its demonization occurred about five hundred years ago.

"So that's it. Are you the reincarnation of Chiyou? Even if you are not the reincarnation of Chiyou, you must have absorbed the yin energy of tens of thousands of undead spirits in that battle, so it will be so powerful. However, your current abilities are completely instinct. If you want to use them for me in future battles, the first step is to become a wise monster."

So Manqu killed one person that day and injected human blood into the rhino monster, making it a half-demon with human form. He practiced dialogue with him every day. Soon after, the rhino monster developed a lot of wisdom.

The rhino monster sincerely thanked Manqu for his cultivation. One day he had a sudden idea: "King Manqu, in order to thank you for your reinvention, I want to give myself a name called "Xiqu". I hope the king will be grateful."

"Manqu, Xiqu... very good, it sounds like a brother. Since that's the case, we are both comrades-in-arms and brothers, haha."

Since then, Xiqu has regarded Manqu as the beacon of his life. Within thirteen years, while the world is busy controlling water, Manqu attacks everywhere, either grabs territory, expands the army, or simply to eat people. In this process, Xiqu launches a major flood every year, constantly putting pressure on Dayu.

However, one day thirteen years later, Dayu finally managed the flood successfully, which should have caused the vigilance of Manqu and Xiqu. However, the two monsters have been smooth sailing for many years and have long been careless and have not taken humans seriously, which has finally laid the root of disaster for their own destruction.

In fact, for the past thirteen years, when Dayu was busy controlling the flood, the goddess of Xiayue had not stopped practicing for a day. Eliminating Manqu and saving Cang had created the most important pursuit of her life. For this reason, she kept a low profile, made progress without slacking off her strength, and her strength was shocked by the gods.

That day was the full moon night. When Manqu and his army were staying on a hill by the Yingshui River and doing nothing, the goddess of the Xiaoyue suddenly appeared in the night sky. Against the backdrop of the full moon, her figure holding a spear came down to earth like a god.

"Bastard, that woman is here to make trouble again, kill her!"

With Manqu’s order, dozens of flying monsters surrounded her, blocking the moonlight. But what followed was the burst of dozens of monsters in an instant!

Seeing that the opponent's strength was so amazing, Xiqu immediately used his demonic power. Suddenly, a huge hole exploded on the ground, and a thick spring water was wrapped in demonic energy, rushing towards the goddess Xiaoyue like a dragon chasing the moon!

The goddess of Xiayue was already on guard. She held a bowl in her hand, pulled it down and sucked it all into it.

"This woman's strength has improved a lot compared to thirteen years ago. Moreover, she specifically chose to attack on the full moon night, which was a complete humiliation for us!" Manqu looked at the terrifying opponent in the air, and was frightened and could not help.

After the dismantling moves were completed, the goddess Xiayue began to attack. In an instant, countless blue light bombs fell down like a pouring rain, killing hundreds of monsters in an instant. Manqu and Xiqu were also hit by several bombs, among which Manqu was particularly injured and fell to the ground and dying.

Then, the goddess of Xiayue temporarily stopped attacking, landed on the ground, and began to search for the fallen monsters one by one. When she met a monster that had not yet died, she would make up for a fatal blow.

In despair, Manqu extracted the Prajna crystal in his body and handed it to Xiqu and said, "I seem to be about to die here today. You should leave here with this thing quickly. In the future, you will become the demon king, strengthen your strength, and come back to avenge me!"

Xiqu refused and said, "No, King Manqu, I can still move, let me run away with you on my back."

Manqu shook his head: "Do you know why she went down the ground to search for corpses one by one? She only has one target - that is me. If you run away with me on your back, she will not give up. We will be caught up by her sooner or later, and we will all die! But she doesn't know you, as long as I die here, you can escape."

Xiqu said in tears: "But, aren't we brothers? As a younger brother, how can I be so reasonable for my brother to refuse to save him?"

"Haha, don't be stupid, who is your brother to you?" Manqu sneered, "I will raise you and be brother to you. It's just that you are strong and want to use you to serve my ambitions. Letting you leave now is not because of your brotherly affection, but just using you to avenge me in the future. Do you understand?"

"But, but brother, I..."

"What a shit brother, get out!"

Manqu forcibly stuffed the Prajna crystal into Xiqu's arms, and used the power of returning light to push Xiqu away dozens of feet away. Then, he struggled to stand up and shouted at the goddess Xiayue: "Dear woman, are you looking for me to grandpa? I'm here!"

After saying that, Manqu was still afraid that the goddess Xiayue would not hear it. Perhaps she was unwilling to accept it. She used all her last life and let out a roar of a tiger at the other party, resounding throughout the solemn night!

The goddess Xiayue was naturally attracted by the roar. She immediately flew forward, waved her spear, and cut off the tiger's head from Manqu. Then, she had no intention of taking into account other dying monsters, picked up the tiger's head from the ground and flew away.

Behind a big tree thirty feet away, the rhinoceros was already confused by tears. He looked down at the Prajna crystal covered with blood from the mangrove, dipped the blood with three fingers of his right hand, and drew horizontally on his forehead.

Then, he showed a firm expression on his face and incorporated the Prajna crystal into his body.

From that day on, Xiqu inherited Manqu's will and became a new generation of demon kings. According to Manqu's hope, he was diligent in cultivating himself and began to strengthen the demon beast legion again.

This originally unknown rhino monster gradually became famous and officially became a ferocious beast later included in the "Shan Hai Jing".
