At dusk, the rain gradually stopped.

A ray of sunlight illuminates the earth through the clouds.

First burned, then blistered, the surface of the ruin-like demon city was already covered with a layer of black mud-like objects, covering up everything.

The monkey sat dumbfounded, watching the aftermath of the demon army all over the mountains, and his eyes kept blinking.

One after another, the seriously injured monsters were carried to the makeshift tents, and Yang Chan and a group of military doctors were busy around. Next to the camp were mountains of corpses, like mass graves.

Most of them were charred and unrecognizable. As a demon without relatives, naturally most of them will not be claimed.

After all the hard work to come to Huaguo Mountain, did they think that this would be the result?

If this incident did not hit the morale of the Huaguo Mountain demons, it would be impossible. This is particularly the monkeys.

Shortmouth climbed up the pile of rubble where the monkey was sitting step by step, sighed, and said, "The dead and wounded have been counted, and a total of three thousand six hundred and fifty-six souls have been collected. That is, there are already more than three thousand six hundred...... Maybe it will increase. In addition, the bodies have not all been found, and they are still trying their best to search for them. ”

"Got it. The monkey didn't say anything more, just lowered his head and looked at his hands.

The hands looked very human, only slightly redder, with more wrinkles at the joints, and they looked a little old.

Walking up to the monkey, the short mouth took out a kettle from his waist and handed it to the monkey.

The monkey raised his hand and waved it no.

Seeing this, the short mouth pulled out the lid of the kettle, tilted his head and poured two sips violently, and closed the lid. The fleet, looking at the horizon, let out a long sigh. Turn around and sit next to the monkey.

"What are you thinking?" he asked.

"I'm thinking. Do you want to give each of them a separate tombstone? ”

"Tombstone?"

"Yes. The monkey nodded: "There are all the previous ones, and it seems a bit unfair if you don't have it this time." Although the roster is burned, it can be asked again through the Guò Temple of Life and Death. ”

Short-mouthed laughed helplessly: "That's all you want, I thought you were thinking about rebuilding." ”

The monkey didn't answer, just raised his head, and the wind, still with a little burnt smell, stroked the fluff on his cheeks, and slowly closed his eyes.

"I think you're kind of like that guy. Short-mouthed sighed.

"Who?"

"White ape. ”

The monkey smiled faintly back.

The short mouth glanced at him and let out a long sigh: "I don't know about the white ape either." And where is the old cow reincarnated now, is it okay? But don't be reincarnated as a monster again. ”

"What if you are reincarnated as a youkai? It's only been a few years, and I guess I haven't transformed yet. When they are transformed, we will have a place for us. By then, youkai will definitely no longer have to be like street rats. ”

"You're that confident?"

"Don't you have faith?" asked the monkey rhetorically.

The short mouth was slightly stunned, half loud, and said with a dry smile: "Confidence is naturally there, if not, I would have run away." It's just that...... We came out of the dungeon thinking we already had a place, but we didn't expect it. A battleship, a bunch of flameballs. Just wipe the city we worked so hard to build off the map. It's ironic. ”

The monkey turned his face sideways and stared at the pillar that was crooked and diagonally inserted beside him, and said: "It will be re-established, for thousands of years, the Heavenly Court has been encircled and suppressed all the way, haven't the monsters always been so endless? ”

It's all going to be calculated, as long as you hold on and live until that day.

In the distance, the monkey saw Big Horn squatting on the edge of the pile of corpses next to the camp and crying.

"What's wrong with him?" asked the monkey, pointing to the big horn.

The short-mouthed reached out and patted the monkey on the shoulder and said, "I'll go and comfort him." Sister-in-law...... She happened to be at home at the time of the accident, and the big horn was not there, so she didn't escape. However, Lingxi was only slightly injured, and now the wind chimes are taking care of it. ”

With that, the short-mouthed straightened up the mud-stained armor on his body and stood up, walking in the direction of the big horn.

The monkey blinked his eyes and moved his lips, but he didn't hold back a word until the short mouth was far away.

......

In the main hall of the flagship of Nantianmen, Nezha pointed to the sky and shouted, "Tell me clearly, what do you mean by this?"

"Third Prince, didn't the last general just say it very clearly?" asked Tiantian, spreading his hands.

"Do you call it clear?" Nezha slammed the fire-tipped spear in his hand and roared: "Dongsheng Shenzhou is the responsibility of our Nantianmen, and Huaguo Mountain is also our Nantianmen is responsible for encirclement and suppression, the Jade Emperor has not issued a new will, when will it be your turn for the Tianhe Water Army to intervene?"

The third prince said this is wrong. Tian shook his head and said, "Our army will never intervene. This time, it was because the astronomical meter on the battleship was broken, so that it lost its way, and then it strayed into Dongsheng Shenzhou. Later, the driving circle of the battleship somehow broke down and unfortunately crashed, but fortunately you came to the rescue, so there were no casualties. Could it be that Nantianmen hadn't crashed a battleship? Even if this matter was reported to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, it could not be said that it was the fault of my Tianhe Naval Army. ”

"It's clear that you have stopped the operation of the circle yourself!" Nezha said angrily.

Tianhe laughed: "Whether we stopped by ourselves or not, we will know when we check." But before that, please ask the third prince to help us find the wreckage of the battleship left in the demon city first. ”

"You!"

"Or is it that the truth of the matter itself doesn't matter, and the third prince just wants to be aggrieved by the few monsters who were unlucky enough to be killed by the battleship?" Tian laughed teasingly.

Nezha's eyes widened, his little face was already flushed, and he couldn't say a word for half a sound.

In desperation, he had to look at the two heavenly kings standing aside.

At this moment, the Heavenly King of Holding the Kingdom and the Heavenly King of Duowen were also frowning.

Today's matter Tianhe Water Army has indeed done it. If one accidentally leads the Monkey King to rush into battle, even the two of them plus Nezha may not be able to completely control the situation. At that time, Huaguo Mountain will certainly be suppressed, and Li Jing and Li Tianwang will definitely never be able to come back.

This is an outcome that the two Heavenly Kings do not want to see in any way.

This is what the marshal of the canopy promised. Will you take care of the life of the king?

But even though there is a lot of dissatisfaction in my heart. But there is no choice but to swallow it in the stomach. Regardless of Li Jing's affairs. The Tianhe Water Army has indeed taken a good seat in this matter.

Tian stretched his waist and said, "If it's okay, the last general will go down first." The matter has been informed to the marshal, and our army will soon send someone to pick us up. ”

......

The aftermath was being cleaned up in an orderly manner, but the monkey just sat on the rubble. One by one, the leaders of Huaguo Mountain came to report to the monkey, as if the rubble had become his office.

“...... The hardest hit area was the center of the city, and there were almost no casualties among the army......"

......

“...... The alchemy room in the center of the city and the civilian demons in various departments with the most serious casualties have lost more than fifty percent of ......"

......

“...... The ration center was directly smashed by the battleship, and none of them were spared......"

......

“...... More than eighty percent of the facilities in the city were damaged......"

......

“...... Nezha's reply was...... The Tianhe Water Army strayed into the ......"

......

“...... Most of the residences of the major generals were located in the city. Therefore, the casualties of the family members are very heavy......" Before the words were finished, the crocodile spirit who came to report could no longer cry.

The monkey knew that he had just been newly married, and it was time that something had happened at home.

......

In the middle of the night, a dozen generals gathered in front of the monkey, including the big horn and the crocodile spirit.

They came to petition, petitioning to raid the Nantianmen fleet and kill the generals of the river water army today.

After the Horned Serpent made a not-so-impassioned speech with his not-so-fluent lips, the monkey slowly stood up. Silently turned away, leaving only the generals in place to look at each other.

The monkey was eager to say something to persuade them. But what did he persuade?

If you continue to talk about it, I'm afraid that the monkeys themselves will be persuaded by them.

He reasoned that he couldn't do that, for the sake of long-term, for the sake of the future, he couldn't do that. When he was in the Evil Dragon Pool, he couldn't pursue the fleeing Xuangui Division, and he couldn't turn back to fight against Tianheng. It was true then, and it is true today.

Therefore, he could only choose to leave silently.

But where can he go without him?

His own home had been burned down. After wandering aimlessly around the ruins for a long time, he finally just moved from one rubble pile to another and continued to sit in a daze.

After several years of running-in, Huaguoshan has long had the most efficient mechanism of this era. The simple aftermath work does not require his intervention, and the complicated ones can't be done now. As for treating the wounded, that was not at all what he could do as a practitioner.

All he could do now was find a place to calm his mind.

At dawn, the hydra appeared in front of him.

"Do you have something to do with me?" asked the monkey.

"No, I just saw you sitting here alone and came over to say hello. What can I do? I'm just a guy who helps with chores, and now that I'm done, they think I'm in the way, and I'll get out of the way. As he spoke, he straightened the rocker and made a crackling sound of joints, exhaled slowly, and sighed: "Damn, saving people is more tiring than killing." ”

The monkey looked at the nine-headed insect and said, "Thank you for me, the old dragon king and the princess of all saints." ”

"Don't let him hear that. ”

"Why?"

"He has long regarded himself as a person from Huaguo Mountain, and now you are talking to him about this, aren't you seeing the outside? The appearance of tears and snot, the hydra shuddered when he thought about it.

The monkey smiled with satisfaction.

"Hey, I'll ask you a question. ”

Say. ”

"Today...... Why don't you do it? I'm ready to do it in the back, and as soon as you do it, I'll assault them on the other side, so that they can't look at each other. ”

"What about the hands, it's up to the two of us to ......," the monkey pointed to the demon soldiers scattered all over the ruins and said, "Plus them, can you clean up these 180,000 heavenly troops together?"

"Even if you can't clean it up, at least stir them up?" said the nine-headed worm with a tooth.

"And then?" the monkey asked, staring at the hydra.

"And then, do you need it?" asked the hydra, surprised.

The monkey just smiled faintly and didn't answer.

The nine-headed insect's brows suddenly frowned, and he walked quickly to the monkey's side and said, "Or do you want to just forget it? Don't you feel very aggrieved? We have worked so hard to build the demon city for so long, give them a battleship, and if you smash it, it will be fucking smashed! You swallow this breath? This is not like you." ”

The monkey watched the hydra silently with its eyes open.

After a long time, the hydra spread his hands and said, "Okay, it's still a bit similar." It's just that if it were me, I wouldn't be able to help it. In fact, if you hadn't turned around today, I would have rushed out. Those bastards......"

As he spoke, he hatefully kicked a piece of debris out of the way.

The morning sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon, and the light illuminated the entire Huaguo Mountain through the dense Nantianmen fleet.

There's never anything to stop a new day, it's just that many youkai can't be seen anymore.

The two big demons stayed like this, and the oblique shadows were stretched long, reflecting on the charred ground, and they couldn't even see the outline clearly.

After a long time, the monkey lowered his head and said slowly: "Actually, I know that you have never been able to understand why I have troops here. ”

The hydra nodded with a snug mouth.

The monkey smiled bitterly and said, "Whether it is you or me, in terms of cultivation and force, there are few human beings who can match it. If you want to live alone, maybe it will be easier to live. ”

"Not maybe, but definitely. The nine-headed insect said: "The days of timidity are really tiring. ”

"But aren't you lonely now? Even if you leave Huaguo Mountain, you are no longer alone. ”

The hydra froze.

Indeed, he is married, now has a wife, and a father-in-law, and is no longer alone.

"There are some things that we can't leave behind if we want to. If we have been doing nothing, then there will never be a piece of the world that belongs to us. Not because we are weak, but because we do not have strong partners and do not belong to a strong race. If the demon does not rise, we will always be able to live like this, like a rat crossing the street. Live in a world without friends, without loved ones. ”

"When a heavenly soldier is humiliated, a heavenly general will come forward. When a celestial army is ambushed, there will be a great army to conquer. That's what humans are. Just because they are human, they are protected. What about us?"

The monkey slowly closed his eyes and said no more.

The hydra's eyes squinted to the monkey: "That's what you're for?"

"And because I promised some people something. The monkey sighed.

After a long silence, the hydra snorted. Pointing to the rubble all over the ground, he asked, "Above the heavenly court, there are still three Qings. What if they defeated the Million Heavenly Army? They didn't attack us now, but because we weren't good enough to threaten their position. In their eyes, we are not even a bug. Do you think it's really possible to build a powerful demon kingdom under their noses, fight against the heavenly court, and keep your own piece of the sky?"

Taking a deep breath, the monkey said, "Whether you believe it or not, they have a reason why they can't let me die." This is our only chance, and for the demon, maybe it will never happen again. Success or failure will be within these three hundred years. (To be continued......)
