King Hou Shi watched as his subordinates lost their lives in an instant, and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. However, his neck was grabbed, and he could not move his entire body. He could only panic.
The leopard demon was still holding King Monkey Shi's body as he asked the monkeys loudly,""Are you willing to accept me as your king? If you don't accept it, those few of your kind just now will be your end!”
Who knew that the leopard demon's brutal actions just now not only did not scare the monkeys, but instead aroused their indignation. As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen monkeys immediately shouted at the leopard demon,"I'm not convinced! Unconvinced! I refuse to accept this!"
The leopard demon snorted coldly at the monkey soldiers and followed the previous method. In an instant, these monkeys were also killed. After repeating this process, in less than an hour, hundreds of the monkeys under King Monkey Shi were killed by the leopard demon. However, none of the monkeys on Flowerfruit Mountain bowed down to the leopard demon.
The monkey king saw that nearly half of the tribe had been killed by the leopard demon. In addition, his neck had been stuck by the leopard demon for too long. He was so angry that he actually fainted.
The leopard demon was originally a ferocious beast in the forest. Before it became a spirit, it also liked to catch monkeys for food. It thought that it knew the habits of monkeys very well and thought that as long as it subdued the king of the monkeys first, the monkeys would collectively surrender to it. Unexpectedly, after killing nearly half of the monkey soldiers, not a single monkey soldier was willing to beg for mercy. At this moment, the leopard demon looked at the half of the monkey group that was glaring at him and thought of the half of the monkey soldiers that he had just killed. He could not help but feel a little regretful. Normally, these monkey soldiers and generals would be rare delicacies! Before the leopard demon became a spirit, sometimes it would take a lot of effort and effort to eat a monkey, and this effort would most likely be in vain. Today, in a fit of anger, he had actually killed hundreds of delicious food that he had always wanted. He could not help but feel that it was a pity.
"If these monkeys don't submit to me, should I kill them all?”The leopard demon thought to himself,'If that's the case, even if I forcefully occupy the Dragon Cave Immortal Mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to find so many minions to serve me in a short period of time.”
As the saying goes,"Kill the chicken to show the monkey." The leopard demon really couldn't understand." I've already subdued the monkey king and killed so many monkey soldiers, but the monkeys still refuse to surrender to me?"”He decided to get to the bottom of it. With one hand still holding King Monkey Shi's neck, he reached out his other hand to grab the monkeys. A small macaque was already in his hand.
At first, the little macaque struggled desperately with a look of fear in its eyes, but soon it realized that its struggle was futile, because their fearless, strong, and beloved king was now in the hands of the leopard demon, motionless, as if he was already dead. The leopard demon asked Little Macaque," Little monkey, I've already captured your monkey king. Why don't you acknowledge me as your king and surrender to me?"”
Little Macaque knew that there was no hope of escaping, so he calmed down. Looking at King Monkey Shi who had been " killed " by the leopard demon, he spat at the leopard demon and said loudly,""Our monkey clan will never worship a foreign species as king! King Hou Shi is our eternal king!”
The leopard demon was furious when he heard this. Just as he was about to kill the little monkey in his hand, he suddenly thought of something. He stuck out his tongue and licked the saliva on his face. He actually laughed out loud. After laughing, he gently placed Little Macaque and Monkey King on the platform. From the little macaque's answer, he had already understood why the monkeys did not recognize him as their king. Thus, he decided to let King Monkey Shi continue to be the king of the monkeys while he became the great king. This way, he could still control the monkeys. Thinking of this, the leopard demon didn't care about Little Macaque's rudeness anymore.
After the little macaque was placed on the platform, it was stunned for a moment before jumping into the group of monkeys. King Hou Shi had been suffocating for a long time, so he staggered and couldn't stand properly. He fell onto the platform with a thud.
The leopard demon pointed at King Monkey Shi who had fallen on the stone platform and said to the monkeys disapprovingly,""Look at your king, he can't even withstand a little torture? I didn't even touch him, and he's already like this.”After saying that, he blew on King Monkey Shi's face, and King Monkey Shi immediately woke up. He raised his head and saw the Monster King standing in front of him. Thinking of the hundreds of monkey soldiers and monkey generals that had been killed by the Leopard Demon, King Monkey Shi pounced on the Leopard Demon like a madman. He wanted to avenge those dead monkey soldiers and monkey generals.
The leopard demon stretched out his hand and grabbed King Monkey Shi under his armpit. He said to the monkeys word by word,""Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die! From now on, your monkey king is still your king, and I am your great king. Whether you agree or not, you'll all be my minions in the future!”With that, he waved his arm, and a gust of wind immediately blew on the platform, causing the monkeys to be unable to open their eyes. When the monkey soldiers and monkey generals opened their eyes, they had already been involuntarily brought into the cave behind the waterfall by the leopard demon.
Looking at King Monkey Shi, who was swaying unsteadily in front of him, the leopard demon said,""You can continue to be the monkey king in the future, but you have to listen to me. "If not…" Before the leopard demon could finish, King Monkey Shi pounced at the leopard demon again. The leopard demon was furious and cast a spell. A mystic light flashed in his hand, and two iron shackles appeared on King Monkey Shi's hands and feet. With a clang, he fell to the ground and couldn't move.
Looking at the bewildered monkeys in the cave, the leopard demon said loudly,"You monkey soldiers and monkey generals, listen up. I'm a demon king who has become a spirit. "If you agree to my request, you'll be my subordinates. When the time comes, I'll teach you spells and divine arts…" He shouted for a while, but when he saw that the monkeys were indifferent, he could not help but say angrily,"I'll teach you a lesson.""Now, I'm going to a friend's place to attend a banquet. When I come back, if you still refuse to come to your senses and become my subordinates, I'll first eat your monkey king, then burn all of you monkeys to death!”After saying that, he laughed wildly and turned into a wisp of green smoke that passed through the water curtain. He disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only a buzzing laughter that echoed in the cave.
Once the leopard demon left, the monkey soldiers and generals immediately rushed forward and surrounded King Monkey Shi. The monkey soldiers who had been unyielding in the face of the leopard demon just now were now all in tears and wailing. King Monkey Shi also had tears streaming down his face. He said to the group of monkeys intermittently," It's all my fault…I didn't have the ability to protect everyone…So many of my brothers died…Now that the Monster King has left, you should run for your lives…"
The monkeys were all weeping and didn't pay attention to King Monkey Shi's words. Seeing that the monkeys were only focused on crying, King Monkey Shi was worried that the leopard demon would return and miss this opportunity to escape. He scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously and shouted,"Everyone, hurry up and escape! If the leopard demon returns, we'll all be dead!”Because he was anxious, he kept stomping his feet and waving his arms at the monkeys, making the shackles on his arms clang.
The white-browed old ape among the monkeys kneeled before King Hou Shi and wept." Your Majesty…you are the first King Hou Shi to unify the entire Flowerfruit Mountain since the beginning of the world! The king is in shackles now, how can we abandon the king…"
The group of monkeys knelt around King Hou Shi with sorrowful expressions. What will you do if we leave?" Among the monkeys, the Long Armed Ape Monkey stood up and shouted at the monkeys,""We can't leave the king behind. If we want to leave, we'll carry the king with us!”
As soon as the Long Armed Ape Monkey finished speaking, a few strong monkey generals immediately jumped to King Monkey Shi's side and carried him out of the cave. The few monkey soldiers in front walked to the entrance of the cave and jumped out. Unexpectedly, just as their bodies touched the water curtain, they were hit back by a bolt of lightning and fell on the monkeys behind them. The monkey soldiers stopped in their tracks and looked at the water curtain in horror. They were at a loss, and King Monkey Shi shouted anxiously,""Try again! Try again!"
In order to escape from the cave, the monkeys overcame their fear. The monkey soldiers jumped out of the cave one after another. However, when the monkey soldiers jumped into the water curtain, they were mercilessly hit back by the lightning...
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the monkeys sat in their caves in frustration and looked at King Monkey Shi blankly. King Monkey Shi saw that the entrance of the cave had been enchanted by the leopard demon, and he did not know how to escape. He knew that there was no hope of escaping, but he did not want to lead the monkeys to sit still and wait for death. After thinking for a while, he suddenly had a plan. He looked at the monkeys around him and said loudly,"Little ones! Now we are trapped in the cave and can't escape. If we don't agree to the leopard demon's request, when the leopard demon comes back, we will only die. "Now, Your Majesty has come up with a solution…" Speaking of this, he paused for a moment. Looking at the dejected tribal members around him, he felt his heart ache. Pretending to be happy, he continued,"A real man knows when to yield." Why don't we pretend to agree to be the leopard demon's subordinates and protect our lives first? When we find an opportunity in the future, we'll try to kill the leopard demon and avenge our dead race!”
"Revenge! Revenge!" The monkeys roared angrily, shaking the dust and stone fragments on the cave wall to fly down.
After the leopard demon returned, he saw that the monkey group had readily agreed to be his minions under the leadership of King Monkey Shi. He could not help but be delighted. He thought that these monkey soldiers and monkey generals had agreed to be his lackeys because they had yielded to his tyranny. Thus, the leopard demon did not make things difficult for the group of monkeys. He even withdrew his spell and unshackled King Monkey Shi.
Looking at the empty cave, the leopard demon frowned.""Today, I went to a few friends 'place to have a drink. When my friends knew that I had found this Dragon Cave to settle down in, they were all envious and decided to come here for a sightseeing visit in two days. Now, the cave was empty, without a single object. Even if his friends came, there was no place to sit down and drink tea to discuss the Dao. It was really a fly in the ointment.”He had the intention to show off his magical power in front of his new subordinates. Looking at the monkeys in the cave who were quiet and obedient because they were afraid of him, he had the intention to show off his magical power in front of his new subordinates. He said proudly,"Little ones! The Great King wanted to use his divine power to renovate the cave and add some tables and chairs for the guests. All of you, step back. Don't let me hurt you by accident.”
This demon king was indeed impressive. He walked into one of the caves and slapped the walls repeatedly with both hands. For a moment, stone chips flew everywhere in the cave. In just a cup of tea, the adjacent stone walls of the two caves were torn down by the leopard demon. Since the two sub-caves had no walls, they merged into one larger sub-cave. There were hundreds of stone tables, stone chairs, stone platforms, stone stools, stone beds, stone bowls, and other daily utensils neatly placed in the cave. The leopard demon used a spell to move these tools evenly into each cave. There was only a large stone platform in the hall, and two rows of stone stools were placed on both sides of the platform.
After doing all this, the leopard demon sat down on a stone chair and glanced at the dumbfounded monkeys. He said proudly,"The Great King is a demon immortal who has cultivated into a spirit. He is omnipotent and has many transformations. Just now, you saw it with your own eyes. As long as you serve me well in the future, I won't make things difficult for you.”As he spoke, his gaze slowly shifted to King Monkey Shi's face."In the future, the daily affairs of the cave will be handed over to your second king. When I am free, I will teach you some martial arts and divine arts. In the future, you will be on guard at our Flowerfruit Mountain.”
Seeing the leopard demon's divine arts, King Monkey Shi felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless ice hole. His body turned cold and he couldn't help but think to himself,""This demon is so powerful, how can I kill him? It seems that revenge is hopeless…"
