He had just taken a few steps to save himself some trouble, but his clothes had already been torn to wrap the black eagle's wounds. In order to reduce the trouble, he had asked the old man for a set of clothes and a large bamboo hat. He put on his clothes and hat. Although it was a little obscene, it would not expose his identity as a monkey. However, he didn't know the way and only knew the general direction. He could only inquire along the way, so he walked a lot of wrong roads. Originally, he said that he would walk 500 miles, but he walked more than 1,000 miles and finally saw a tall mountain.
The mountain lay in front of him, stretching out for who knows how many miles. The ancient trees on the mountain reached the sky, the strange rocks were jagged, and the strange peaks stood steep. It was very dangerous. The Monkey King sucked in a breath of cold air. This mountain really looked like a winding dragon. It should be the Green Dragon Mountain. Looking at the sky, the sun was about to set. Since there was still some time before it turned dark, he would enter the mountain to find a place to stay for the night.
The Monkey King's belief in seeking immortality was as firm as iron and stone. He was not afraid of difficulties and dangers at all. He did not care if there were any ferocious birds or beasts in the mountain that would eat him as dinner. He went straight into the mountain. However, the more they walked, the more they felt that something was wrong. The mountain was strangely quiet. They did not even meet a rat. It was as if all the animals had died. This kind of quiet atmosphere was abnormal in the mountains at any time. Even in the middle of the night, there would be a few wolf howls. Although it was terrifying, it was definitely not as depressing as this death-like aura. A nameless tension assaulted the monkey king like a flood and a ferocious beast. The deeper he went, the stronger this feeling became.
The worst thing was that the sky had turned dark, and he couldn't even find a place to stay. Every place in the mountain seemed to be safe, but the Monkey King didn't feel safe at all. He jumped onto the crown of a tall tree and looked around. It was pitch-black all around, and the mountain peaks looked like demons in the dark who were about to devour people. It added a bit of strangeness to the already oppressive atmosphere. If it weren't for the stars above their heads, they would really think that they had arrived in hell. The Old Fisherman had actually said that such a lifeless and desolate place was a celestial mountain and that there was a divine manifestation. It seemed that this hearsay was not credible at all.
The most important thing at the moment was to find a safe place to stay as soon as possible. It was the most dangerous in the wilderness in the dark of the night. Moreover, there was nothing safe about this mountain. However, it was too dark to see the surrounding situation clearly. If they acted rashly, it would also be very dangerous. The monkey king's stomach was empty and its hunger was unbearable, but there was nothing it could do. Just as he was about to find a place to spend the night on the tree, he suddenly saw a light flash on a mountain peak not far away. At first, it was very weak, but in the blink of an eye, it was very bright, like a bonfire. A place with a fire meant that there were people there. In this pitch-black night, even a little bit of fire was warm. The monkey king knew that there was a fire in the deep mountains, so it was safe. Therefore, when it saw the fire, it was overjoyed. It identified the direction and walked towards the fire.
This mountain was very humid, and the vegetation was extremely exuberant. Other than trees, most of it was covered by thorns and vines. The visibility at night was extremely low, and even the place where they landed could not be seen clearly. They could only walk by feeling, so it was extremely difficult to walk. His clothes were soon torn by the thorns and there were even a few cuts. The Monkey King only focused on the direction of the fire. It seemed that it would only be safe if he met up with the people at the bonfire. His current determination was as firm and unshakable as his determination to pursue Dao, regardless of whether the future was dangerous or not.
Unknowingly, they had walked for a long time, but the distance between them and the fire did not shrink at all. It did not seem far, but it also seemed to be forever out of reach. Even the mountain seemed to be moving. In this hell-like mountain, the fire that could bring warmth to people suddenly became as strange as the eyes of a huge ghost. The Monkey King had an ominous feeling. He felt that this flame was not as simple as he had thought. It did not seem to be the fire of life. However, if it was not a fire made by humans, then what else could make a fire at night?
A chill suddenly rose up. At this time, he was a little afraid and felt a headache. Not only was this mountain not angry, but it was also filled with evil qi. Looking at the fire now, it was indescribably evil. At this moment, his surroundings underwent a terrifying change. This change was not something that could be done by human power. The originally dense trees, thorns, and vines disappeared in an instant, revealing bare mountain rocks that stood like the teeth of a monster. It was as if he had fallen into the mouth of a monster. His feet were empty, and his entire body fell rapidly.
The Monkey King suddenly saw a fire in this grave-like mountain. It was like a drowning man who had found a life-saving straw. It did not care about the difficulty of the mountain road or whether it was dangerous. It only recognized the direction and walked towards the fire. However, after walking for half a day, he saw that the fire was on the mountain peak not far ahead, but he could not walk over. The more he walked, the more he felt that the fire was strange. Just as he was in a dilemma, he suddenly felt empty under his feet. It was as if he had stepped on a trap and his body fell straight down.
He was falling rapidly and had already exceeded the depth of the trap, but he still couldn't reach the bottom. It was pitch black in front of his eyes. He used both his hands and feet to grab at the air, but there was nothing in his hands. It was as if he had fallen into a cave. Moreover, it was straight up and down, and it was very wide.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had landed on something soft. His body stopped falling and he seemed to have reached the bottom. However, due to the rapid fall and the extreme height, he still fell heavily, his internal organs churning non-stop, and he almost couldn't breathe. Just as he was feeling dizzy, he suddenly heard someone shout,"I caught it, I caught it, I fell into the net…"
" What is this thing? It's not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth…"
It was like a drop of water falling into boiling oil. The pot was boiling, and people were shouting and shouting. Moreover, countless torches were lit up, illuminating the entire cave as if it was daytime. The monkey king wanted to sit up. He realized that he had fallen into an extremely dangerous place. However, he immediately realized that it was futile. He was wrapped in a large net. Moreover, if he moved, several spears would immediately point at him. If he moved any further, he would be able to pierce a few holes in his body.
The Monkey King didn't dare to move. He used the light of the fire to look at where he was. It was fine if he didn't look, but with a look, his head grew three times bigger. As expected, he fell into a cave. The cave was extremely wide, and there were countless torches on the walls. However, he still felt that it was not enough. He picked up more than ten oil pots on the ground and inserted a wick as thick as an arm. Once he lit it, the flame rose to the height of a person. Because it was not completely burned, it emitted wisps of black smoke, making the air in the cave very dirty. He then looked at the people surrounding him. They were all monsters with human bodies and beast faces that had not completely shed their original forms. Tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals had turned into spirits, and their faces were ferocious and repulsive. This cave was actually a demon cave abode. The Monkey King cried out bitterly in his heart. It seemed that it was doomed to fall into the hands of these demons. It was likely that it would be bitten until not even its bones were left.
These demons looked at the monkey king and swallowed their saliva. They wished they could swallow him alive. At the same time, they were disappointed. They really didn't know how to eat this monkey cub that had not even had a bowl of meat cooked. At this moment, a voice shouted,"Move, move, the king is coming."”
These little demons immediately made a path and one of them said,""Great King, we caught a monkey. It's not even enough for our brothers to drink soup.”
The Demon King said," Is that so? Let me see what kind of monkey it is. It has the guts of a bear or a leopard to come and die."”
As he spoke, the Monkey King felt his vision darken, and the smell of alcohol assailed his nostrils. A huge creature appeared in front of him. He was tall, broad, and round, like half a black tower. He opened his bloody mouth, and his nose was facing the sky. He looked extremely ferocious. It was obvious that he was a python that had transformed into a spirit.
The Monster King stretched out his hand, which was like a palm-leaf fan, and pinched the Monkey King's body. He felt that there wasn't much flesh on it, and it was just an ordinary monkey. There was nothing special about it. The tipsy feeling rose, and he didn't have the mood to ask. He said,"Take him to the back cave. Skin him and make soup tomorrow morning.”
All the little demons shouted and a deer demon and a wolf demon immediately rushed out. They released the monkey king from the net and tied him up with a rope to send him to the back hole. The monkey king knew that it was going to die and begging for mercy was useless. It was calm in its heart and did not struggle or resist. It allowed the people to push and shove it all the way to the back cave. However, when he thought about how he had not achieved anything since he left Flowerfruit Mountain and had died in a foreign land, he couldn't help but feel a little unwilling.
