Chapter 266: The Macaque King
The monkey's gaze was already flickering at the nightmares.
Originally, it was just a monkey and a nine-headed insect, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with these nightmares. But what if there's an extra genaba?
To deal with something elusive like a nightmare, who can guarantee that Xuanye will be protected tightly and not injured?
That's a big problem.
The monkey quietly flew around the core of the emerald, and only returned to the hydra after making sure that there was no second exit to this place.
"I remember you can split up, nine of them. And each one is real. β
"yes, what's wrong?"
"You stay here first, and don't let them find out. Then we went out and cleaned up the outside. Just pretend we didn't find this place. It's better to touch it first and see how to deal with the nightmare. It's too dangerous to fight with Xuanye, and if you can't get it right, you hurt Xuanye first, and you don't know what you'll do if you force these nightmares. β
"Heh, what else can it be? What does it mean to leave one?"
"Leave one to keep an eye on, in case they want to do something to Genba...... Probably not. But just in case. If they want to make a move against Xuanye, the clone you left behind can stop it. If they just want to run away, your doppelganger will quietly follow. β
"This plan is a bit risky. β
"It's big, but it can't be helped. I finally saw it, so I can't let it go, right?"
"Okay, that's it. β
The hydra's body swayed, and it turned into a clone, which flapped its wings and quietly landed behind a stone and hidden. Immediately after, the monkey and the hydra turned around and crossed the circle along the original route.
Out of the original spherical space, the monkey silently counted it, and the demon soldiers and demon generals were one hundred and thirty-two in total. There are also thirteen nightmares.
"Keep dividing. β
"What. β
"Divide the remaining eight together. We must control all the demon soldiers in the shortest possible time and make them all faint. And then think about how to clean up these nightmares. β
"Good...... bar. The hydra nodded helplessly.
Soon, the nine-headed worm split into eight, plus the monkeys, for a total of nine people.
They split up and dived into the tunnel, revealed their true colors, and began to act silently.
Most of the demon soldiers here are not strong, and the most powerful one is only a god realm, and they are gambling in the sphere space. Others, in the hands of the doppelganger of the monkey and the hydra, it was a matter of a moment.
As for the thirteen nightmares. Nightmares seem to be fundamentally different from other youkai, one is a spirit body, and it is erratic. The other, most of the time, they are just levitating, doing nothing, not saying anything, as if they are in a daze.
Now, the thirteen nightmares are all suspended at the top of the sphere space, which gives the monkeys and the nine-headed insects a great opportunity - they can quietly dispose of the more than 100 demon soldiers and demon generals in the pit first, without alarming the sphere space side.
It must have been about half an hour. In half an hour, the monkey and the nine-headed insect quietly caused more than eighty demon soldiers and demon generals to lose consciousness without realizing it, and then hid them all. Until, for some reason, one of the Nightmares floated into the pit and collided with one of the Hydra's doppelgangers.
"Hissββ!"
The piercing screams instantly spread throughout the cave, and the demon soldiers who were still stranded in the tunnel quickly rushed to the sphere space to join the large army, and the suspended nightmares were also alerted one by one.
However, the next moment, the monkey and the doppelgangers of the nine-headed insect shot at the same time. They sprang out from all corners. Nine directions at the same time.
Before he could react, the last fifty or so remaining demon soldiers and demon generals had all been put down. Some of the demon soldiers didn't even have time to scream.
In the blink of an eye, the sphere space fell to the ground.
The eight doppelgangers of the hydra and the monkey stood at the bottom and slowly looked up, seeing the thirteen nightmares that had gathered.
Eight doppelgangers become one.
At this moment the monkey and the hydra looked at them, and they looked at the monkey too.
The two sides were at a stalemate.
The monkey and the hydra standing on the ground calmly moved their muscles and bones, ready for the next big battle.
As for the nightmares suspended in mid-air...... With the way they looked, they couldn't see their expressions. However, judging from the rapid squirming of their bodies like a cloud of black mist, and the screams one after another, they were not calm.
Soon, the monkey made a tentative move. First, a dash took to the air and swooped towards them.
Not surprisingly, the monkey staggered past them, paused at the top and turned around.
As for them, they are still screaming in place.
Probably because the monkey and the hydra appeared too suddenly, and now, both of them are intact, and there is no chance to take advantage of them. Even if they do something now, it doesn't seem to be of much use, so they can only scream vigorously.
Of course, the monkey and the hydra will not withdraw for a while.
Just like that, the monkey and the hydra began to toss up and down, trying to find something, from ice to fire, to bondage, thunder and lightning, all kinds of spells, one after another, but unfortunately, there was no response at all.
But the thirteen nightmares themselves, in addition to screaming all the time, seemed to have infighting, yelling at each other.
All of a sudden, both the monkey and the hydra began to wonder a little. This is too much different from the nightmare that attacked the three-star cave of the slanting moon in the first place, right?
At this moment, with a roar, the entire cave began to shake, and bits of sand and stones were sprinkled.
"What's the situation?"
"Not good!" The nine-headed insect suddenly looked at the pit where the magic circle was arranged: "They want to do something to Xuanye!"
"What?" the monkey hurriedly rushed over, only to see that the circle had turned dark red and spun rapidly.
With his eyes wide, the monkey hurriedly looked back at the nine-headed insect and said, "What now?"
"What else can I do? It's just not activated, it's impossible to sneak in. Now I can only forcibly destroy the magic circle!"
Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the nine-headed insect raised its hand to hit it hard, directly hitting the entire top of the cave and starting to fall off. It was the magic circle, but it only "crackled" a few times.
The monkeys were dumbfounded.
Turning around, the nine-headed insect yelled at the monkey, "Fight quickly, do your best!
"Okay!"
As soon as he gritted his teeth, the monkey picked up the Guiyuan stick and got on.
The two of them struck one blow after another, and they didn't care about anything else, and hit the magic circle fiercely.
At this moment, the entire cave can be described as shaking the ground, and countless rocks have fallen off and tumbled. With a roar, countless passages were blocked, and the entire cave was tossed into disarray.
The nightmares are okay, if the rocks can hurt them, the monkeys don't have to bother so much. Those unconscious demon soldiers and demon generals were miserable, many of them were lying like this, and they were directly crushed into meat pies by the falling boulders.
As for the monkey and the hydra, they are certainly not afraid. Not to mention the boulders that collapsed, even if they were buried alive here, they would be able to get out unharmed. Once the tumbling sand and gravel reach them, they will be lifted straight out.
It took about a whole stick of incense before cracks appeared in the circle.
It was really the same as expected at the beginning, to forcibly dismantle this magic circle, they had to dismantle this cave as well. And they did.
With another heavy blow from the monkey, the circle shattered into red dust, and the monkey passed through with an arrow.
I saw that the doppelganger of the nine-headed insect had turned into a giant beast, stretched its mouth wide, and directly took the jade wrapped in Xuanye in its mouth. Curled up in a ball, no matter how the nightmares around him tore apart, he just didn't move.
The small space was almost completely occupied by his huge body.
"Can this be?" the monkeys were dumbfounded.
"There's no way around it. The hydra flew over, turned into a huge arm and waved, driving away all the nightmares that were tearing at his clone, and then turned his head and yelled at the monkey: "What are you waiting for, come and open the way together, hurry back to the ground!"
With that, he raised his hand and threw it out with a blow, slamming it on the dome.
For a moment, the space that was originally protected by the magic circle suddenly rolled with sand and stones.
When he said the open road, he was digging a way straight up from here......
The monkey's scalp was numb, and he shouted: "That's it, don't want to stay here except for the nightmare, how can you check the macaque king?"
"The macaque king who checks the hair!" the nine-headed insect roared in response: "Lao Tzu will send Xuanye back and it's over, what does the macaque king care about him?"
"Yo, so you're here. β
A sound came from a straight voice, and the next moment, it seemed that the whole world was quiet.
The nightmares all stepped aside.
The hydra, hovering above its doppelganger, opened its eyes wide and looked behind the monkey.
The long hair of the shawl and the robe made of white gauze rose and fell slightly in the tumbling sand. It's still as personable as ever.
Turning his head slowly, the monkey saw that the macaque king was right in front of his eyes, and a smile was on his lips.
