Chapter 114: No Choice
The commotion continued, and the roars of the demons filled every corner, shaking the heavens and the earth.
The dim red light of the fire illuminated the faces of all the birds, some beasts, all of different shapes, but all of them were equally hideous at the moment.
The monkey suddenly remembered what the old cow had said to the old white ape.
"I'm a cow, you're an ape, what's that out there?"
Actually, he was right.
Demons are not a race, never have been. They belong to different types, and they were originally simple creatures who also lived in this world, but they absorbed enough spiritual energy to transform into shape, and since then they have been exiled by fate and forced to come together.
It's a tragic race.
Heavenly Court said that they were demons, so they were labeled as demons and became intolerable beings in heaven and earth.
Sometimes, the monkeys wonder, if heaven and earth do not allow it, why should they be born, is it just to set off the illustrious military exploits of the heavenly army?
Perhaps, this is also the question in the heart of the old white ape.
They don't know why they were born, but they are not willing to die lightly.
For tens of thousands of years, they fought in every corner of this world, seeking only a place to live. Some of them disappeared from obscurity, some occupied the mountains as kings and brought calamities, and some prostrate themselves at the feet of heaven and were willing to be slaves.
But without exception, they are fighting against the unjust fate in their own way.
The monkey has seen the slaughter of the demon by the Heavenly Survey with his own eyes, and there is no reason and no reason is needed, because the heavenly court is justice, no matter what he does. Because a demon is evil, no matter what he does or not.
For this qiΔ, even the demon is regarded as normal, as if it has become the truth, like the name "demon" fabricated out of thin air.
Fate forced all the youkai to take up arms and learn to fight, they are a real fighting race, and the battle has never stopped since the day of its existence.
Sometimes the monkey thinks, since the fate is no longer up to them, why not fight vigorously?
Even if you die, it should be tragic.
The sky-high firelight illuminated the entire valley and reddened the monkey's eyes, and there was not a trace of expressionless face on the face of light and shadow.
He sat on the hillside quietly with the Yue Dynasty, who had already recovered his true appearance, watching the frenzied demons tear apart any demon soldiers they could see, watching the demon soldiers hide in panic, watching the demons digging into the ground and searching.
Looking at this one, like an apocalyptic battle, the fight between demons and demons.
Time passed bit by bit, and gradually, there was no longer a single demon soldier to be seen, but those red-eyed demons were still unwilling to search around, roaring at the sky.
Yuechao silently bowed his head.
"I don't understand why you're doing that...... I've found a cure for the Evil Jiao spell, and if you take it alone, it will be easier to escape, and you won't have to take any risks at all. β
The corners of the monkey's mouth curled slightly, but he didn't smile, and replied lightly: "I can indeed live if I escape, but should I live in a world without friends?"
"Friend......" Yuechao turned his face to look at him, "You think they are friends?"
The monkey took a deep breath: "I am a demon, and I can only be a demon." No matter how deep the Dao Fa I cultivate, I can only be a demon. Every inch of space in this world must be earned by fighting. It's a matter of time. β
Yue Chao snorted, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "So, you have decided to stand on the side of the demon?"
The monkey reached out and covered his face, and sighed, "Maybe, I don't know, I just think I should do it." β
"You're becoming more and more like the old white ape that died at your hands. They often mentioned to me that I thought those words were more appropriate for him. Has his soul possessed you?"
"Maybe, I think too. The monkey smiled helplessly, bitterly.
"You have changed, and you are different from the Uncle Sun I first met. Yue Chao raised his head and looked at the sky: "At that time, Uncle Sun was just bent on seeking the Tao, and there were no demons and immortals in his heart. Now it seems that you will be a hero, but not a human hero. β
The sky had long since turned red, and the moon loomed in the billowing smoke, but not a single star could be seen.
"You know? Wind Chimes like you very much, I think, that liking is older than her age. I came here to deliver a letter to her, and it is because of her that I will stay and help you. At first I thought I would just get you out of here. But I didn't expect you to want to be with the goblins even more. Ay...... Hehe, there are some things that can't be changed after all. β
Pursing his lips and being silent for a while, he continued: "Her letter is still with me, do you want to see it?"
"Nope. The monkey took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "Let's wait until we get through this level." Don't tell her about here. β
"I understand. Yuechao nodded silently.
The sound of weapons was no longer heard in the distance, but the roar of the beast was still there.
All the demons gathered, and under the leadership of a lion spirit, dozens of big demons who looked like leaders walked towards the hillside where the monkey was.
Each of them was covered in blood.
"It's time to get down to business. The monkey patted his thigh and stood up.
The lion spirit came to the monkey panting, and the triangular eyes looked at the moon from time to time.
Maybe it's because of the human face of the Moon Dynasty.
"Thank you, General Che Rider. β
"Don't call me a general, I'm not a general. β
The lion spirit turned his head to look at the demons behind him and asked, "Then what should we call you?"
"Call me a monkey. β
The white pig spirit standing in the pile of big demons hurriedly shouted: "Call Brother Monkey!"
"That's fine. The monkey smiled slightly.
The lion spirit took a deep breath, punched his fist in his heart, and asked, "Then, Brother Monkey, about that spell...... What are your plans for the future? We want to do it with you. β
"I know how to solve spells. β
Before the words fell, someone immediately shouted eagerly: "How to solve it?"
The monkey lowered his head and glanced at the moon chao, who was sitting on the grass with his legs crossed.
Yue Chao coughed dryly twice, and said slowly under the gaze of all the monsters: "I have already prepared the medicine, and I will give it to everyone in a while." It's just that it takes a little time for the medicine to take effect. Probably...... Ten days. β
"Ten days!" exclaimed someone in the crowd.
The leaders looked at each other with horror in their eyes.
Ten days, they all knew what it meant.
Ten days, long enough for all the monsters here to die under the pursuit of the Heavenly Army.
"Ten days ......" The lion spirit lowered her head and blinked, and her breathing rate suddenly became much faster: "Then what should I do?"
After a long time, he looked up and saw the monkey's indifferent face.
The monkey smiled slightly: "There is a way." β
"What's the solution?" asked the lion.
Behind him, all the chiefs stared at the monkey with wide eyes, expectantly.
This may be their only hope of survival.
The monkey pursed his lips and said, "No matter how we go, the 10,000 heavenly soldiers here, plus the outer Sky Survey Generals, almost no one here wants to run." Unless...... We can deal with the Celestial Soldiers, and then collectively cross the Celestial Surveyor's defensive belt. When the time comes, we will go our separate ways. β
"But wouldn't Heavenly Court send new troops over in this way?"
"One day in heaven and one year on earth, when their new troops arrived, we were gone. β
This sentence immediately reassured the leaders a lot.
It's just that the doubts in their hearts have not been completely resolved.
An elephant stroked its nose and asked, "But can we defeat the Celestial Army?"
"They only have 10,000 and we have 20,000. β
"But...... But...... They have warships, and they can fly. β
"If there are warships, destroy their warships, and if they can fly, let them not fly. The monkey's tone was as flat as if he were talking about trivial things in life.
It's just that when these words fell into the ears of the leaders, it was hard to believe them anyway.
They were all silent, and there was great hesitation in their eyes.
Just defeated so many demon soldiers, this one should have a high morale. But the demons of this world, especially such little monsters, have a natural fear of heavenly soldiers.
From the first day they were born into this world, these were their natural enemies.
The surveyors hovering overhead every day were like vultures, waiting for them to show their feet, and then a flutter turned them all into a good meal.
Any youkai who can stand here has seen countless of its kind die tragically at the hands of the Heavenly Soldiers.
"We ...... Is it really possible?" someone asked.
No one answered.
The monkey reached out and rubbed his face, took a deep breath, and sighed a little sleepily, "No, it's just what you're thinking about now." How do you know if you haven't fought it? Just two hours ago, did you think that you could defeat the army of the Evil Jiao?"
No one answered.
"I'll have people give you medicine. As for the Celestial Army, give me the answer before dawn, and if you don't want to, I'll leave with my own people. β
With that, the monkey glanced at them one last time, and turned to leave.
At that moment, the lion spirit raised his head sharply and shouted, "No, don't wait for dawn. We listen to you. β
"How can we be? We can't defeat the Heavenly Army!"
All the chiefs whispered.
Faintly, the monkey saw that the originally gentle expression on the lion spirit's face quickly became violent, and the hand holding the war hammer clenched violently.
He turned around and brandished the war hammer in his hand and roared at the leaders: "Whoever doesn't want to go get out of here! Don't get the medicine, Lao Tzu will kill you now! lest you run back and report to the evil Jiao!"

I believe that many people have gotten the news, and the soft-shelled turtle has finally signed a contract!
I finally got through it, and it was an A sign!
It was an extremely torturous time, and to be honest, I was somewhat hesitant, and countless self-proclaimed veteran writers were persuading me to cut it. They said that they signed a contract within 100,000 words normally, and the chance of signing a contract again after 100,000 words was very small.
But can the soft-shelled turtle be cut? No, everyone is still waiting for my update! This kind of thing can't be done by the soft-shelled turtle.
By the fourth time, the turtle was in despair. At that time, I thought that as long as everyone is willing to read it, I will continue to write, and I will write carefully.
However, that's when the news came. 310,000 words signed, which is a very rare thing at the starting point. But after all, it was time for another village.
Thank you, thank you for accompanying the soft-shelled turtle through this most difficult part of the road.
Of course, this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go. Everyone should also remember your promise, the soft-shelled turtle is not too strong, and everyone is not allowed to leave!
Thank you~
