Chapter 6: Deserters

On the thirty-first day after leaving the village, and the twenty-first morning after entering the desert, a different scenery finally appeared on the horizon.

It was a white mist.

When they saw this scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Yes, not the expected woods, nor the verdant grasslands, but the clouds.

It wasn't until they got closer that they realized that there was a huge canyon in front of them.

On one side of the canyon, there is a bare desert with layers of dead grass at the bottom, and on the other side of the canyon, there is a white mist.

Across the canyon, they could faintly see a lush forest in the mist. The point is that one side of the canyon is completely covered in fog, while this side of the canyon is clear...... The distance of dozens of zhang is like two worlds.

It's a magical sight you've never seen before. Faced with this spectacle, everyone couldn't help but be confused.

"It's ...... Where is it?"

"Don't you think...... It's like there's an invisible wall that traps all this fog over there?"

Everyone looked at each other.

This is a question that no one is destined to answer. For such a group of demons living at the bottom, there are too many things in this world that they can't explain.

In the distance, the monkey saw a chain bridge swaying in the wind across both sides of the canyon, and a stone monument stood beside the bridge.

Peel back the dry grass and reveal the words on it.

The monkey looked at the somewhat dilapidated black stone tablet for a long time, frowned and read: "Wan ...... What mountain?"

"Wanshou Mountain. White Frost corrected.

"Wanshou Mountain, this place is a mountain?" the monkey's brow furrowed even more.

What is white in front of me, and what can be seen faintly, is just a little grass and trees growing on the edge of the cliff, and behind these fogs, is a mountain?

"Have any of you ever heard of Wanshou Mountain?"

"Nope. ”

"I haven't heard of it. ”

One by one, the demons shook their heads.

If it was just a mountain shrouded in fog, it would be nothing, but it was obviously not.

These fogs seem to be trapped by some kind of spell, or they are simply the fog generated by spells. This means that inside the fog, there should be a special place, and someone wants to protect it?

The bridge is there, and you can walk over it at any time, but just rush into a "protected place", okay?

The long-term wandering experience makes the monkey a little uncertain.

"What now, in the past?" asked Da Hong in a low voice.

"Or else, do you want to turn around?" asked the bull head.

Hearing the word "turn back," the fat intestine immediately shouted: "Don't go back! If you are killed, you will not return! Even if you are beaten to death, it is better than starving to death!"

"Eat, eat, you fucking know how to eat all day long!"

"You don't want to eat?"

"You still dare to talk back to you? eat the most, and I don't see what you do!"

Da Hong angrily raised the stick in his hand to beat, but the fat intestine ran away with his head in his arms, and he ran behind the bull head and continued to shout: "I don't care, I won't go back! I won't go back! I won't go back if I am killed!"

From beginning to end, the monkey's eyes were always on the chain bridge, as if the things around him had nothing to do with him.

Being yelled at by the fat intestine like this, Da Hong became even more angry, and he had to beat the fat intestine with a stick. Helpless, the bull head, black tail, and white frost had to step forward to stop them, and they pushed and shoved.

At this moment, the monkey suddenly raised his foot, and with a "snap", stepped on the first plank of the chain bridge.

"Hey!"

There was a shout, and suddenly, everyone was silent and looked towards the monkey.

Pointing to his feet on the plank, the monkey said leisurely, "If we can walk to the other side, it should mean that this place can be entered." This is the first kick, to be able to do such a big battle, there is no reason not to know that we are coming. ”

After looking around, and after making sure that nothing had happened, the monkey raised his leg again, and just as everyone was watching, he took a slow, second step, and stepped firmly on the second pedal of the chain bridge.

Everyone held their breath.

Still nothing happened.

The monkey breathed a sigh of relief.

"So...... Can you go over?"

"Yes, yes. As he spoke, the monkey slowly grinned and shouted, "Brothers, the hard days are over!"

Immediately, everyone cheered.

However, at this moment, only a "boom" was heard, and an arrow fell from the sky and landed accurately at the monkey's feet!

The arrow feathers were still vibrating, making a "buzzing" sound.

For a moment, the cheers seemed to be cut off, and everyone's eyes widened.

"Drive ——!" came with a shout.

Looking up, they saw a chariot speeding down the canyon!

Yes, a chariot, a silver-white chariot. The two white horses in front of the chariot with a pair of white wings and four hooves stepped into the air, dragging the chariot behind them to fly in the air. In the blink of an eye, they were no more than a hundred feet away.

There were three people standing in the cart, two of them wearing silver armor, one was pulling the reins to steer the direction, and the other was holding a longbow and looking coldly at the monkey and the others. The blue flag hanging at the back of the car was tattooed with the word "Sky Survey".

As for the last person in the car, it was the Taoist priest who pursued Baishuang......

The moment he saw him, Bai Shuang's heart suddenly cooled by half.

"He has summoned all the heavenly armies......"

This is probably the worst-case scenario.

There is a wishing tree in the heavenly court, and the gods can learn the wishes made by mortal humans through temples and various magic weapons through the wishing tree, which is simply a ubiquitous intelligence network. And with it, it is the chariots of the Heaven Surveying Mansion, they can quickly gallop to every corner of the mortal world.

This is also the reason why ordinary little demons walk around the human settlement. Where there are people, there are temples, and there are temples, and there is also the intelligence network of the heavenly court. Before you are strong enough, revealing your identity is tantamount to death.

"It's her! it's the woman, she's the white bone spirit!" the Taoist priest shouted as he pointed at the white frost.

When his gaze fell on the monkey, the bow-wielding heavenly general hesitated slightly: "Two spirit clans?"

"Two, it seems that this military feats are not small!" The driving general violently urged the horsewhip and accelerated wildly.

At this acceleration, the Taoist priest was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed the hand of the heavenly general and cried: "Slow down! Slow down!"

At this moment's moment, the chariot had reached the middle of the chain bridge, and the reins of the heavenly general quickly waved his whip and made a sharp turn towards the monkey.

"Run! What are you stunned!" the monkey dragged the stunned white frost and turned around and ran in the direction of the desert. The other companions also hurriedly followed one by one, running wildly for their lives. Even the fat intestines that were injured on their bodies and originally looked sick seemed to be healed in an instant at this moment, and they walked like flying.

However, how could he outrun the chariot of the heavenly army by his feet? In this empty desert, there would not even be a place to hide.

In the blink of an eye, the chariot had flown over their heads and dozens of feet ahead.

"Slow down!

The Taoist priest was still crying, and the heavenly general, who was already impatient, threw it directly and threw the Taoist priest away.

"It's over, it's completely over this time, we're not saved!" Da Hong couldn't help but cry.

Everyone panted as they watched in the distance as the chariot hovered in mid-air turned its head.

The bow-wielding Celestial had already drawn a second arrow from his quiver and placed it on the bowstring.

I guess I can't dodge this arrow.

Suddenly, just when everyone was in despair, for no apparent reason, an iron rope suddenly rose into the air on the ground a hundred feet away, hooking the wheels of the chariot.

Everyone watched as the chariot was torn from the sky without warning and landed behind the hill. And the Taoist priest was planted in front of the monkey and fell to the ground.

The Taoist priest struggled to get up, and when he saw that a group of monsters were watching him, he limped in fright and ran towards the back of the small hill behind him. However, it soon ...... He ran back again.

Under the stunned gaze of the monkey and the others, he staggered past them and ran onto the chain bridge.

"This ...... What's the situation?" Before the tears could fall, it came out like this, and Da Hong couldn't react a little.

Not only is it red, but the others are also in a state of confusion at this time.

The monkey tiptoed forward, carefully climbed the hill, and poked its head out.

At the back of the hill, a hundred feet or so away, the chariot of the Celestial Army had been smashed into a pile of broken copper and iron, and the Pegasus was entwined with ropes, unable to break free no matter what. And not far from the chariot, a fierce battle had begun.

The shrill clashing of weapons, shouts of killing, roars, and the meteor hammer thrown out of the air kicked up sand and dust everywhere, and in the haze, the monkey could only vaguely see a few figures in brown armor shuttling between them, some of them wielding scimitars, some wielding maces, and some wielding giant axes. All kinds of weapons, all kinds of weapons. The two besieged generals clearly fell behind.

"Yes...... Who?" White Frost asked in a whisper.

"I don't know, it seems to be...... Goblin. The monkey replied casually.

The little demons all widened their eyes and held their breath.

One of the generals soared into the air and broke through the dust-covered battlefield, but before he could completely break away, he was caught by a flying claw thrown from below. In the screams, he was dragged back.

"Are you going to win?" asked Bai Shuang quickly.

"Don't speak, don't speak...... Just take a good look. "From beginning to end, the monkey's eyes never left the dust.

Soon, the battle in the distance subsided. When the billowing sand and dust landed, the group saw broken corpses everywhere and six figures covered in blood.

Snake Spirit, Lizard Spirit, Bat Spirit...... That's six demon generals.

The monkey gasped sharply at the sight of the armor, and his eyes were locked on the youkai with his back to them and a giant axe in his hand.

"The armor...... It seems to be the Lion Llamboy's troops. Blacktail reminded in a whisper.

"It's the Lion Camel King's troops, yes. Big Red chimed in, trembling.

The entire squad, everyone, except for the white frost, shrank back slightly, ready to escape.

"Lion Camel King?" As soon as she heard these three words, Bai Shuang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, she suddenly remembered the "lion hair" on the monkey's body, a smile slowly appeared on her face, and she asked, "Then, are they here to save us?"

At this question, several monsters present were stunned, and looked at the white frost in astonishment.

The monkey's heart suddenly chuckled, and his expression froze. He suddenly remembered the cow she had bragged with White Frost a few days ago.

"They're here to save us?"

The eyes of the other youkai were about to fall, but unfortunately the hoarfrost, who was all focused on the monkey, was completely unaware of it.

Finally, a smile appeared on the monkey's stiff face, and he replied, "Yes...... bar. ”

If the monkey had been given another chance, he would probably not have spit these two words out of his mouth for the sake of face. Because the next moment, he regretted it.

After receiving his affirmative reply, I saw the white frost cheering out: "Great!"

Almost crying with joy, no one had time to stop it, and White Frost stood up and waved violently in the direction of the six monsters: "We are here!

The monkey was startled and quickly got up to drag the white frost back.

But at this moment, the youkai that had been facing away from them, causing the giant axe, turned around.

It was a scaly face with dark brown eyes as amber.

"It's a crocodile ......"

The cow's head, the big red, the fat intestines, and the black tail, all of their faces turned white.

Time seemed to freeze, and the six monsters on the opposite side stared at the monkey with expressionless faces. The crocodile's eyes widened.

The monkey maintained the movement of pulling the hoarfrost, and stood motionless, looking at the crocodile spirit.

The two sides just looked at each other, and each other held their breath.

It was only then that the hoarfrost seemed to notice the strangeness of the atmosphere, and his gaze went back and forth between the crocodile spirit and the monkey.

After a while, the crocodile spirit opened his mouth and held back two words: "Yes...... You?"

"Isn't that me?" the monkey grinned, smiling helplessly, "Long time no see, boss." ”

"yes, long time no see. The crocodile spirit also laughed, smiling cheaply, his slightly open mouth was full of fangs, rubbing the giant axe in his hand and saying, "I can find you so bitter." ”

Under the gaze of the demons, the crocodile spirit took a step forward.

"Run——!" screamed, almost at the same time, and the monsters on the monkey's side turned around in unison, ran desperately, and rushed straight towards the canyon.

Bai Shuang, who was dragged by the monkey, looked ignorant: "What's the matter? Why do you want to run?"

"There's no time to explain!"

Turning around, White Frost saw that the six monsters on the crocodile spirit's side had all risen into the air, brandishing their weapons and rushing towards this side.

This is obviously not well-intentioned......

"Did they misunderstand something?

"Don't mention Mao! we're deserters, we're here to get us!"

"Huh?"

At the moment when his life was at stake, the monkey decided, face, or not for the time being.
