Monkey was overjoyed.
It had been some years since he left Flowerfruit Mountain.
He had crossed the sea and searched for countless immortal mountains and blessed lands, but he had found nothing.
Today was finally the end of the suffering.
He kept thinking that he must be devout when he saw the Ancestral Master later and show his determination to pursue the Dao.
His heart was at ease, and even his footsteps were much faster.
Just as he was imagining the future, a vine suddenly appeared under his feet and tripped him.
He fell heavily on the ground. His anger rose and he stood up.
"Who, who plotted against me!"
"Caw caw…"
An ear-piercing cry sounded. Monkey raised his head and saw a pitch-black crow cawing loudly on the treetops. Its mocking intent was self-evident.
Monkey's anger grew even more intense. He was about to jump up and teach this crow a lesson.
But the next moment, he shuddered and realized that something was wrong.
He had tripped over the vines behind him. This was obviously a trap set up in advance. How could a crow set up a trap?
Thinking of this, he looked at Crow suspiciously and became vigilant.
Could it be that there are other people ambushing me? I have to be careful.
The path of seeking Dao was difficult. He had traveled across the oceans and mingled in the human world, so he had seen the dangers of the human world.
Several times, he had almost been caught to perform a monkey show, but he had always relied on his own alertness to escape.
Could it be that there are hunters in the mountains who see this king's handsome looks and want to capture him to play tricks?
Be careful.
Ye Feng also stopped laughing and looked at Monkey in confusion.
The script was wrong?
What was this monkey doing?
After being tripped on purpose and mocked like this, shouldn't he rush up in anger and be beaten up by him?
Why was he so careful?
What was he imagining?
Ye Feng had meticulously prepared these vines previously. He had deliberately set them up when he was bored to chase away some prey. It took him half a year to complete them.
Although his body was a crow, his soul was still human.
For the past three years, he had been eating wild fruits and worms.
In order to eat meat, he had thought of many ways.
This vine trap was one of them. It had really helped him hunt a few small wild beasts.
His beak was sharp enough to tear apart animal skin.
After some thought, Ye Feng had no reason to go up and beat Monkey up if he didn't follow the script.
However, he had a new plan.
He straightened his body and suddenly said to Monkey,""Where did you come from, monkey? You came to this king's territory and didn't pay your respects to the mountain. You're too rude. This vine will teach you a lesson. Remember it first and quickly hand over the gift. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave this mountain pass.”
Monkey was shocked." You can speak?"
It was no wonder that he was surprised. He was a natural stone monkey and was extremely intelligent.
However, along the way, there were very few animals that could speak.
Even in the Flowerfruit Mountain where he came from, everyone used monkey language to communicate with the monkeys. They did not know how to speak human language.
Of course, the Flowerfruit Mountain was a blessed land with 72 Cave Demon Kings. They were all great demons, and the Cave Masters could speak human language.
It was also because of this that in the monkey's concept, an animal that could speak human language was equivalent to a demon king.
This had almost become a fixed pattern.
It was also because of this that the moment Ye Feng spoke, Monkey immediately cowered.
Although the monkey had become unruly and fearless after learning the art, he was actually extremely smart and understood the principle of a wise man not fighting when the odds were against him.
On his journey to the West, he had slacked off countless times. If he could get help, he would not waste a single bit of effort.
With his divine powers and methods, were there really no solutions for some demons when they were forced into a corner?
Not really.
However, he was unwilling to contribute.
This was a smart monkey.
Therefore, he immediately showed goodwill to Ye Feng and learned the etiquette he had seen in the human world before. He sang a fat promise,"This Great King, I am the Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave of the Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture. I have crossed the sea to seek the Dao. I have accidentally entered this mountain and have caused a lot of trouble.”
Are you a fake monkey?
Ye Feng was shocked. This was completely different from the irritable monkey in his impression.
When did he become so polite?
He must have been possessed by Tang Sanzang.
He felt a headache. As the saying went, one should not hit a smiling person. It was not easy to hit him.
However, for the sake of the reward, he had to continue being a villain.
He coughed dryly." So you're a monkey from the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture. No wonder. Since you're from another place, I'll forgive you this time."”
Monkey was overjoyed when he heard that and thanked him profusely.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Although I forgive you for trespassing, I am the overlord of this area. I am known as the Tianfeng Grand Sage. I kill without batting an eye and eat without salt. If you pass by, you must leave behind a mountain bow. Otherwise, you will be made into a dried meat offering. If you have anything valuable on you, leave two of them as money to buy your life. Otherwise, I will castrate you and make you into a dried monkey to eat with wine.”
Ye Feng said fiercely. Monkey was so scared that his face turned pale.
Especially when he heard that he would kill without blinking and eat without salt, his legs went weak. How did he meet such a fierce bird? His life was really bitter.
He said with a bitter face," King Tianfeng, I really don't have anything of value on me on my way here. I'm focused on pursuing the Dao. If you let me go and become my disciple, I'll pay you back double in the future if I succeed."”
"So you're not going to give it to me.”
Ye Feng sneered and moved closer to the monkey. His eyes were filled with a fierce light.
He looked like a typical villain.
Raising his wings, he was about to attack.
Instantly, the world sank slightly. Monkey's expression changed as he felt pressure assaulting him. His breathing became uneven. Only then did he know that the vicious bird in front of him was not bragging. It indeed had heaven-defying methods.
In fact, when they met earlier, Ye Feng was really not Monkey's match.
Although he had been passively absorbing the essence of the sun and moon for the past three years, Ye Feng's strength was only slightly better than ordinary crows. At most, he could be considered a big and strong crow.
Compared to a 300-year-old monkey, even if the monkey did not know how to cultivate, it would still be beaten in all aspects.
But just now, the system gave Ye Feng a thousand years of cultivation.
Even if he was an ordinary crow, this thousand years of cultivation was enough to push him to the immortal realm.
In Monkey's opinion, it was unfathomable.
"Wait!" At the critical moment, Monkey suddenly shouted.
He searched his body for a while. Ye Feng was puzzled. Then, he saw Monkey take out a stone that was emitting a hazy divine light from somewhere.
He handed it over with tears in his eyes." This is a stone fragment I picked up on the top of Huaguo Mountain when I was born. It was formed after the stone I was born on shattered. It might be worth some silver. Please accept it, Your Majesty, and let me pass through the mountain."”
Ye Feng's eyes widened.
This monkey really hid something good. He was a natural stone monkey. Legend had it that he was a stone left behind by Nüwa to mend the heavens. So this piece of broken stone was a fragment of the Heaven Mending Divine Stone?
Good stuff, really good stuff.
For a moment, Ye Feng was conflicted. Should he take the Heaven Mending Stone fragment or not?
But if he took it, he would have to find a new reason.
He thought about it for about a second, then decisively jumped up and grabbed the Heaven Mending Stone with his claws.
Monkey was overjoyed and asked carefully,""Your Majesty, can I go over now?"
Ye Feng's face was cold as he suddenly said," It's almost time. You don't have a hat on you, do you?"”
Monkey was puzzled.”
Without warning, the crow flapped its wings and slapped the monkey's face.
"I told you not to wear a hat!"
