The Monkey King

The squirrel spirit suppressed his blush, and shouted righteously: "This is not acid! This is bookishness! Do you understand bookishness? You are illiterate."

Short Mouth stared at him up and down unkindly, turned to Lao Niu and asked: "Isn't this sour?"

"My teeth are almost sore." Lao Niu immediately helped.

There was another burst of laughter, and the tense atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

The squirrel spirit pursed his two big front teeth with an angry look on his face, but he could only wave his sleeves and say, "I don't have the same knowledge as ordinary people like you."

"Hey? I'm still a layman? What? Are you not satisfied? How about we have a fight?" Short Mouth immediately rolled up his sleeves.

"A gentleman talks but never moves! A gentleman talks but never moves!" The squirrel spirit took a few steps back in fright and looked at the monkey with blinking eyes.

"Okay, okay, business matters." Monkey sighed helplessly.

Short Mouth then sat down, but his two bird eyes were still staring at the squirrel spirit, seemingly provoking.

The squirrel spirit came over obediently, but he did not dare to sit too close to the short beak, so he had to move closer to the monkey.

Reaching out to pick up the discarded branches from the short beak, the squirrel spirit opened his sleeves, coughed twice, put on a show of style, and was about to start speaking.

The monkey sitting next to him snatched the branch from his hand, raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to talk, and said: "First, tell me what is going on here."

"Um... I'm confused, please let the king clarify. Where does this... refer to?"

"I heard that Heavenly Court attacks Dragon City almost every year, right?"

"right."

"You said that you have been here for about a year and have experienced attacks from heaven?"

Squirrel laughed dryly, rubbed his hands, and said with a naive smile: "Your Majesty, you may have experienced it, but you may not have experienced it."

"I'm telling you, you're such a scumbag, what the hell are you talking about!" Short Mouth yelled with an expression of disdain on his face.

The two monsters started staring at each other again.

The monkey glared and said, "Say."

"When my subordinates came down, they had just finished the beating. We were discussing merits and dedicating rewards. Doesn't this count as experience, and doesn't it count as inexperience?" After saying this, the squirrel spirit curled his lips provocatively.

The monkey thought for a while and then asked: "Then let me ask you, are the goblins outside the city involved in every battle?"

"I don't know every time. I only saw it once. Last time, everyone was indeed involved."

"So how was the last battle?"

"Win."

"How did you win?"

"this……"

"You've been here for a year and you don't even know how to win?" Monkey snorted coldly: "With this level, you still want to be a military advisor?"

The squirrel spirit quickly stood up, knelt to the side and shouted: "I really don't know. I only know that a total of eighty warships were attacked before and after, and two ships returned in the end. Those who survived on the warships were rewarded and were taken in by the Jiao Demon King. Under his command, Your Majesty, you should make plans as soon as possible. Only by expanding your power can you survive in similar battles in the future!"

Having said that, he bowed down.

"Eighty ships... come back with two ships..." Upon hearing this ratio, whether it was Old White Ape, Short Mouth, or Old Ox, they all trembled slightly.

The monkey then asked: "Then the evil dragon's own soldiers didn't attack?"

"No. The Jiao Demon King's soldiers only guard the city and do not participate in the battle."

Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but sneer, and glanced at the serious-looking monsters with his eyes: "Everyone should understand now, right?"

Among the five monsters, except Big Horn, who didn't know why, and the squirrel spirit, who seemed to have known about it for a long time, the rest of them had already turned ashen.

After a long sigh, the monkey continued: "In other words, it was not the evil dragon that defeated the Heavenly Court, but a miscellaneous army composed of goblins outside the city. The evil dragon did not participate in the battle at all. These goblins, who usually have average cultivation without training, How did you defeat the Heavenly Army? Could it be that the Heavenly Army were all losers? They just underestimated the enemy. After fighting so many times for so many years, it was impossible to underestimate the enemy. In addition, eighty warships went out and two came back. I guess that at the beginning of this place It’s a trap set by Heaven…”

The monkey did not continue because he had already spoken clearly enough.

At this time, the atmosphere had already fallen into silence, a terrible silence.

Maybe they have already guessed the answer, but they are just unwilling to admit it. Today, I wanted to go out and look for evidence to convince the monkeys, but I didn’t expect that the evidence to convince the monkeys was not found, but the evidence to convince them came to their door.

The old white ape buried his head lower and lower, looking very depressed. Lao Niu remained silent, expressionless in a daze. Short Mouth blinked and panted heavily.

The six goblins gathered together sat blankly on the grass for a while without saying a word.

After a long time, the short beak slowly raised its head, biting the bird, stared at the monsters and said: "I think... we can... become the only two remaining battleships."

The voice was trembling slightly.

"Humph, are you crazy?" Monkey sneered.

"I'm not crazy. As long as there is a chance, we should fight for it!" Short Mouth stood up immediately. He looked at the other monsters and clenched his fists and shouted: "Give it a try, brothers, give it a try! As long as you are prepared Enough, we can definitely win!”

"Do you know what you are talking about?" The monkey also stood up: "This place is originally a trap, but you still jump when you know it is a trap?"

"We have jumped——!" Short Mouth suddenly roared hysterically at the monkey.

The sound spread throughout the camp, and all the little demons stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at Short Mouth.

Faced with the sudden loss of control of Short Mouth, the monkey also opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment.

Staring at the monkey blankly, the short-mouthed expression gradually became a little strange. His eyes seemed a little dazed, and he lowered his voice and choked with sobs: "We have no way out... Do you understand? We are not you, and you have no demonic aura. If you want to leave, no one can stop you. What about us? You know even if Even the few of us may not be able to get out of here alive! Let alone those little monsters!"

"You understand, we are not as powerful as you. It doesn't matter where you go, a group of sky patrols will not be able to catch you. By the time the others arrive, you will have disappeared. We are different from you, do you understand? All we have to do is...if we are not careful, we will lose our lives!"

Short Mouth stood blankly, as if he had lost his soul, with tears in his eyes.

This was the first time the monkey saw him cry.

He lowered his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, and muttered to himself: "So what if we get out from here? We are still in fear all day long, being chased by the patrol generals every day. How long can we survive?"

"So, even if it is a trap. As long as...as long as there is a glimmer of hope...aren't there still two ships of goblins alive? As long as we can become one of those ships. Then...then we can enter the city. Are you right? Lao Niu, White Ape...are you right? And didn't he just say that? The soldiers of the evil dragon don't have to join the battle. As long as we get through this, we can..."

Short Mouth did not say any more because he could no longer speak.

Tears were streaming down his face. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but was unable to speak. In the end, he could only squat back on the ground, lowering his head and covering his face.

Eighty to two, in fact, everyone present, including Short Mouth himself, knew what this chance meant.

But besides believing this, what else can he believe?

The entire camp was silent, except for Short Mouth, who was covering his face and twitching his shoulders slightly.

I must have been holding it in for a whole day.

This owl held on for a whole day...

After working hard and losing so many people, I finally made it this far. I thought I would see a ray of sunshine, but I found that I had just jumped into another trap.

That feeling must be so desperate.

Looking around, Monkey suddenly discovered that it was not just Short Mouth who was desperate at this moment, but also Lao Niu, White Ape, and even the little monsters.

But should I accompany them crazy?

Thinking of this, the monkey couldn't help but laugh, a little helplessly.

"What about you? What do you think?"

The old white ape buried his head deeply, and the old cow pursed his lips and said: "I also think... I should give it a try."

Taking a deep breath, biting his lip, and exhaling slowly, Monkey bent down and picked up the walking stick, and said calmly: "Okay, it's up to you. Do whatever you want. Call me when you need my help."

After saying that, he turned around and left with the walking stick in hand.

The squirrel spirit turned around and stared blankly at the monkey's retreating back, bowed to him and shouted: "Best farewell to the king!"

After shouting, he turned around and sat down, but suddenly found that the four monsters were staring at him. Those eyes seemed to have evil intentions.

"Four colleagues, do you have any foreign objects on your lower faces?"

Lao Niu winked at him disdainfully: "Your Majesty is gone, why don't you follow him?"

The squirrel spirit glared at Lao Niu: "What are you talking about? The military situation is urgent now, and the king is tired and has to rest first. As a minister, there is no reason to rest. Besides, if I leave, what if you plot a rebellion?"

When he said the word "King", he didn't forget to cup his hands towards the moon.

The other four monsters were completely speechless at this squirrel spirit.
