The Monkey King

When I walked out of the palace and left Dragon City, the sun was shining brightly.

Looking at the hustle and bustle in the place, Monkey's mood could not get better.

He felt that this place should not be called Evil Dragon Pond, nor should it be called Evil Dragon City, but should be called Evil Dragon Swamp - it was simply a bottomless pit trap.

The situation has become obvious. There is a problem, and there is a big problem.

There is a lot of difference in cultivation. Monkey cannot be sure to what extent the opponent's cultivation is, but at least he is sure that he is not in a position where he can turn the tide and regard heaven as nothing.

Even if he hides his strength, something is not right.

You must know that when Heaven comes to attack, even if he can win on his own, he will not be able to protect the Evil Dragon City so thoroughly.

The monkeys had taken a closer look at the carved jade fences just now, and they didn't look like they had been affected by the war.

In this case, the evil dragon actually wanted the leaders of the various territories outside the city to kill each other on the grounds that he didn't like to deal with too many people... You know, during the war these were all his generals!

Is this what a city lord who is always in crisis should do?

It was obvious that all the goblins like him had jumped into a big pit. This pit may have been dug by the evil dragon himself, or it may have been dug jointly by the evil dragon and the Heavenly Court.

It doesn’t matter which one it is, what’s important is that you also participate in the dance.

Should I get out of here now? Monkey suddenly thought.

Back at the camp, all the monsters cheered when they saw the monkey coming back unharmed.

They probably thought that the monkey had been summoned by the evil dragon and recognized.

It is said that if you gain the attention of the evil dragon, you can get his protection and truly become a resident of the city...

But the monkey knew in his heart that this was not the case.

The evil dragon said it nicely, saying that the monkey was the leader of this area, but he did not forget to add the word default.

It's acquiescence, not formal recognition.

It is particularly emphasized that monkeys can do anything, but it is also emphasized that monkeys do it in their own name.

To put it bluntly, he made no promises. Now if a goblin suddenly ran out and killed the monkey, he would say the same thing to the goblin.

During this trip, the evil dragon wanted to see what kind of new monster in his territory could kill his default crocodile spirit.

All the little demons were running around and cheering. They squeezed in front of the monkey, grabbed the monkey's hand, and kept asking: How is it? How is it? Have you been allowed to live in the city?

Even Lao Niu looked at him eagerly.

The monkey knows that for these monsters, the attraction of entering the city is too great. Even a glimmer of hope is enough to make them excited.

But can the monkey give them that glimmer of hope?

No, no one can give them this glimmer of hope. This place is basically an eternal night, and there is no problem of clearing away the dark clouds.

All eyes were focused on him, and they were terrifyingly hot.

He suddenly realized that it was so painful to stand in a place where so many eyes were focused on him.

But for those monsters who are full of expectations, is this not suffering?

After standing blankly for a long time, until the smiles on the faces of the monsters slowly disappeared, the monkey looked at the old white ape and said lightly: Let's get together.

After saying that, the monkey turned around and left.

The old white ape obviously realized something, and quickly turned around to drive away the gathered little demons. He limped over with a cane and a short beak, What on earth did he say to you?

The monkey turned his head, but did not answer anything short-tongued. Instead, he glanced at Lao Niu and Dajiao from a distance, and said softly: You two, come here too.

As the monkey walked into the round tent that had just been set up, the five monsters gathered together.

What on earth did he say to you? Short Mouth still said the same words, and still had the same eager gaze.

He said... the crocodile spirit is dead and asked me to take his place as the leader here. The crocodile spirit is basically his person. With his instructions, he is the monster who manages this small area.

Great——! The four monsters cheered without any surprise, but soon only the laughter of Dajiao was left in the tent.

The other three monsters obviously discovered something and were stunned.

The short mouth moved with big eyes, and he asked with some uncertainty: Is the crocodile spirit the leader here? Is he one of the evil dragon's men? Not only did you kill his people, he not only did not make things difficult for you, but instead made you succeed the crocodile spirit as the leader... ...There seems to be something wrong here...

He touched his chin and began to think.

Lao Niu said hesitantly: Maybe it's the custom here, where the capable live in the place and the weak give way. Maybe...

No. Old White Ape directly denied: Even if we encourage competition, we will not allow killing. After all, this city is always in a state of war. This is tantamount to encouraging civil strife.

The monkey raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled sarcastically: He also encouraged me to kill the leaders of other areas and then annex their territories.

A simple sentence, like a thunderbolt.

The figures of the three goblins were slightly shaken.

Let... you kill the leaders of other areas? What is he going to do? Short Mouth's eyes widened, and his words were slightly trembling.

The monkey didn't answer, just looked at them with a smile.

A horrifying thought instantly appeared in the minds of the three monsters.

Short Mouth buried his head between his knees. The old white ape seemed to have lost his soul as if he had suffered a huge blow. The expression on the old cow's face was stiff. Only the big horns still had a pair of small eyes rolling around the monsters in confusion. so.

Obviously, except for Dajiao, everyone has already thought of being together with the monkey. It's not like they didn't discuss this issue last night. During the monkey's absence, they must have made countless guesses.

Now, it's just confirmation. The most unbearable speculation turns out to be the truest truth.

One can imagine how desperate these three monsters, who were so heroic on the battlefield, felt at this moment. Dedication, sacrifice, a long journey, a narrow escape from death, but in the end we got this ending.

For this, they can only blame themselves for being stupid and weak.

The monkey let out a long sigh and said: I believe you are all smart people. From the previous signs, you probably know what's going on here. Let's vote to decide what to do next.

I still don't understand! Dajiao, who was sitting nearby, shouted.

Before he finished speaking, he was immediately kicked by the old cow: Get out! Damn it, you don't have to attend the meetings from now on!

Why don't I participate? Dajiao cried out.

It's useless for you to participate! Every time you're either sleeping or causing trouble!

What? How dare you say that my participation is useless?

So what if I say you? You rhinoceros without a brain!

Shut up! the monkey shouted, and the two monsters who were about to take action immediately fell silent.

You want to go out and fight, aren't you tired enough? Short Mouth said coldly, stood up and walked to the side to look at the endless tents in the distance through the window made of simple branches and leaves.

At this time, there was a lively scene outside the tent, and the little demons were still looking forward to the so-called good news. There was a deathly silence in the tent.

After a long time, the old white ape finally said hesitantly: Since this is a trap... then we... maybe we...

He didn't say anything more. Maybe he didn't think of the ideal words himself. He just thought that he, the initiator, should say something.

With a long sigh, the monkey took his words and continued: I think it is best for us to leave here immediately.

No! Short Mouth standing by the window shouted immediately. He turned his back to the monsters, wiped his face with his hands, and breathed very quickly: We finally got here. We can't just leave like this... ...We must not just leave! This may be a trap, but...maybe...I think we should find out a little more clearly. Maybe, this is an opportunity...This may be an opportunity!

He was already a little flustered, and his words seemed to be trying to convince himself.

He wants us to kill each other, the monkey reminded.

He turned his head and sat down with his short mouth trembling slightly. He seemed a little excited. He didn't dare to look at the monkey with his eyes. He lowered his head and said: Even if we kill each other, it's not between us. With those in other areas, If the leader fights to the death, we may not be able to win. In short, I don’t agree with leaving.”

I agree with the short-mouthed statement. Lao Niu slowly raised his hand, not daring to look at the monkey. When he was done, he gently touched the old white ape beside him with his elbow.

This... The old white ape seemed to be suddenly awakened from a dream. He looked at the monkey and then at the short mouth. He opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the short mouth.

So many little demons have died when we came here. If we leave, there will definitely be no one left. Even if we want to leave, it can only be a few of us. None of those little demons can even think of leaving. Moreover, we can see that It's a trap. Other goblins may not be stupider than us. Why do they still stay? Not only do they stay, but they also follow the path of the evil dragon. Since this is a trap, why hasn't the news spread outside for so long? Short Mouth He glanced at the old white ape, clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and said slowly: These are all things we should figure out.

After bowing his head in silence for a long time, the old white ape finally raised his hand: I...agree with Short Mouth's proposal.

Okay. The monkey smiled faintly: At least three to two, let's go with this.

For the first time, he felt that these monsters, including the little monsters outside, were a big burden, a tiring burden.

Then how should we figure it out now? Lao Niu asked.

Taking two deep breaths, Short Mouth mustered up the courage, raised his head and looked directly into the monkey's eyes, and said slowly: Isn't it encouraged to kill each other? This afternoon we will go out to find out the situation around us. In the evening, we will catch a few others. The leader of the region will come back and ask!
