Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 842 - 843: Monsters Emerge One After Another (Second Update!)

After progressing for another two days within the Beast Spirit Mountain Range, Sun Wukong and the others finally reached the depths of the range. The biggest difference here compared to the outside was the sheer size of the plants – the dense canopy almost completely covered the sky, with only slivers of light piercing through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

Strangely enough, it wasn’t particularly dark here. Quite a few light points were floating around, all emerging from the plants, lending the entire forest a dream-like quality.

But Sun Wukong and his companions didn’t feel the least bit dreamy because danger loomed everywhere – genuine peril lurked in every corner!

Just a simple example, a seemingly unremarkable flower bud suddenly grew enormous and swallowed an expert of Yuan Emperor Realm whole in one gulp. The speed was so swift that the expert didn’t have time to react effectively before being devoured. Zhao Jun quickly killed the flower demon, but only managed to recover the expert’s mangled remains from within the stalk and leaves – the entire person had been corroded to a skeleton, with bits of flesh still hanging in midair.

To think that a Yuan Emperor Realm expert could be reduced to a skeleton within seconds showed just how deadly the flower demon was. No one dared to be careless after that!

If one was unlucky enough to be swallowed, the Yuan Emperor Realm expert would serve as a stark warning!

There were many more such dangers – not just flower demons that could swallow people, but also tree demons that could ensnare people with their branches and monsters that could gnaw on humans to the bone within minutes. All of these were creatures never seen in the outside world.

In the Three Realms, there were indeed man-eating plants and bugs, but their lethality was negligible compared to the monsters in the depths of the Beast Spirit Mountain Range. At least Sun Wukong had no intention of testing whether these monsters could harm his Chaos Battle Body.

"Be extra cautious! The beasts here aren’t simple!"

Zhao Jun gazed sternly at the segmented vine monster he had just slain. These creatures showed no sign of attack beforehand – when they struck, it was with the force of a thunderbolt, swift and vicious. If one’s strength was lacking, they wouldn’t have time to react before falling prey.

"Daimu, Miao, you two be careful. Daimu, keep your rock armor up and protect Miao. This place is too eerie; we can’t afford any carelessness!"

Blue Spirit instructed Gang Daimu and Zuo Xiaomiao. As for Sun Wukong, Blue Spirit couldn’t see through him. However, based on his displayed strength, which was more formidable than theirs and comparable to Zhao Jun, she refrained from reminding him.

"Watch your back!"

Just as Blue Spirit was collecting her thoughts, Sun Wukong let out a sudden shout, leaping towards her. Caught off guard, Blue Spirit was knocked to the ground by Sun Wukong.

At the instant they fell, a sharp spike narrowly zipped over their heads, embedding itself in a rock opposite. The rock silently disintegrated, leaving a finger-width hole behind.

"Crash!"

The entire rock crumbled like it had been weathered, turning to a pile of dust. Blue Spirit’s expression changed dramatically; if not for Sun Wukong, she would have been the one reduced to dust!

"Damn beast! Taste my rod!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

After toppling Blue Spirit, Sun Wukong wasted no time. He pulled out his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod from his ear, flipped over, and thrust it fiercely into the ground. With a thunderous boom, a blood arrow shot upward, and a beast resembling a cross between a pangolin and a porcupine leaped out, its tail severed by the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod!

This creature had been hiding underground, shooting the spike from its back to ambush Blue Spirit!

"Squeak!"

It was hard to imagine such a powerful beast could emit such a small sound – like a frightened mouse. As it squealed, its tail regrew at a visible rate, much like a gecko.

"Amazing regeneration ability!"

Sun Wukong’s pupils contracted, dark gold light flickering in his eyes as his Void-Breaking Moon Eyes activated. He clearly saw an almost invisible milky-white energy gathering at the beast’s severed tail – the power of regeneration!

The beast’s tail was regrowing under the influence of this regenerative power, which was emanating from a location near the creature’s lower abdomen.

Sun Wukong felt that this creature’s regenerative power was very similar to the self-healing ability of his Chaos Battle Body, possibly originating from the same source. If he could uncover the origin of the beast’s regenerative power, it might enhance his Chaos Battle Body’s self-healing ability, potentially achieving the realm of an Indestructible Body.

With this thought, Sun Wukong’s heart surged with excitement. Without waiting for the beast to act, he swung his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in advance.

"How did he discover this creature?"

Zuo Xiaomiao, observing Sun Wukong engaged with the beast, was filled with confusion. Neither she nor Zhao Jun had noticed any sign of the creature before, and she, known for her keen senses, was especially puzzled. How had Sun Wukong detected it?

"Boss said this Sun Wukong is no ordinary person full of twists and turns!"

Gang Daimu enveloped Zuo Xiaomiao with his rock armor, deflecting an attacking monster. "Miao, just focus on your attacks and don’t worry about anything else."

"What do you know!"

Zuo Xiaomiao rolled her eyes at Gang Daimu. "When we sparred with Jun, I noticed Sun Wukong seemed to anticipate Jun’s attacks. Now it’s clear – there’s something extraordinary about his eyes!"

"I must find an opportunity to figure it out!"

Zuo Xiaomiao made a secret resolution before redirecting her attention to the swarming monsters, continuously firing light arrows.

"Boom!"

After a lengthy battle with the pangolin monster, Sun Wukong finally seized an opening and smashed through its barrage of spikes, landing a heavy blow on its head with the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, shattering its skull.

The beast’s spike attacks were incredibly deadly, imbued with the power of destruction, but its defensive power was quite ordinary. With just one strike, Sun Wukong shattered its head, killing it instantly.

This time, the regenerative power in the creature’s abdomen failed to activate. It seemed not all injuries could be healed!
