Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 823 - 414: New Century Plant Warriors vs. Da Tou Cai Angels

Facing Zhang Ze's question, Li chose to hem and haw, turning her head to the side.

"Well... of course, there was a thrilling battle. In the end, I narrowly lost by half a move. Caught off guard, I fell into an ambush, and to protect that monkey, I had no choice but to play along and temporarily became a hostage."

Listening to Li's feeble excuse, Zhang Ze recalled those Da Tou Cai, which had slow movements and a slightly dumbfounded look, and he murmured an "oh."

"I see, you were lured in just like that."

As he spoke, Zhang Ze threw a piece of small cake onto the ground.

And while Li was denying it, she quickly snatched up the cake in a flash and stuffed it into her mouth, refining it to crumbs in an instant.

"Pathetic." Zhang Ze sighed, ignoring Li and turning to look at Brother Monkey.

Due to Li running off, Brother Monkey was currently sitting alone, covered in dust.

To break Brother Monkey's control, the square pig approach definitely wouldn't be effective; other methods had to be used.

As the saying goes, 'the appetite for food and desire for sex is human nature'...

Zhang Ze held the black stone, imagining some unsavory images.

[Big Sister] [Milking Cow] [Short Hair] [Blind Date] [Job Package allocation]...

After tagging enough, Zhang Ze pointed the black stone at Brother Monkey.

Apparently, Brother Monkey's willpower was rather weak compared to Li's.

It didn't take long before his serene expression turned lewd.

"Is there more?" Brother Monkey asked with a sly smile, his small face flushed.

Zhang Ze, "?!"

So greedy, even one wasn't enough.

Before Zhang Ze could continue, Brother Monkey mumbled, "What about my grandpa's share?"

Zhang Ze, "?!"

"The old man... what does he want, should I burn it over to him?" Zhang Ze looked at Brother Monkey in confusion, not knowing if he was awake or not.

Brother Monkey, "Of course, a wife, hehe, my grandpa likes them small and soft..."

Zhang Ze, "..."

Honestly, Zhang Ze couldn't tell if this kid was filial or not, temporarily at a loss for a reply.

However, due to Li often fantasizing she was a dragon, she had become quite familiar with such dreamlike trances.

Li jumped up, spun around like a top, swung her little tail, and slapped Brother Monkey's face twice.

This face-slapping therapy was actually a legitimate treatment from the Medicine King Valley medical book, proven through practice.

"Ouch! My head hurts."

The treatment was effective, as Brother Monkey held his face, his gaze fully restored to clarity.

Upon waking up, Brother Monkey dropped the bucket and sat down on the ground.

His temples throbbed, and chaotic memories stormed through his mind: the black stone, Zhang Ze, his late grandfather, Chang State, Da Tou Cai, all merging into a blur.

He couldn't distinguish what was real for a moment.

Brother Monkey rubbed his head, sitting motionless on the ground.

Zhang Ze didn't immediately disturb him; instead, he told Li to watch over Brother Monkey and took the opportunity to examine the room.

The room was at the top of the pyramid and had no extra furnishings. Zhang Ze went to a corner, feeling the collision dents there, and his fingers traced along the marks, finding a break on the other side of the wall.

Twisted pipes had emerged from the wall, brutally torn by some force, and then completely fused by an explosion.

There were several similar occurrences, all concentrated on the right side of the room.

Separation... Impact...

It seemed there had once been a crash here...

Before Zhang Ze could dwell further, Brother Monkey suddenly yelped.

"Feeling better?" Zhang Ze quickly took out a handheld fan that didn't require electricity and fanned Brother Monkey's head. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

This was a new product from Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Qingxin Supreme Small Fan; with adjustable speed, a gentle breeze could clear the mind, reduce swelling, and hide evidence.

Truly an essential household and travel item.

After being fanned for a while, Brother Monkey sighed deeply.

"I'm... okay now, sigh..."

Regarding his own affairs, he didn't say much but started from when he and Zhang Ze separated.

After being transported by Froggy near Luoyu Mountain and temporarily parting ways with deliveryman Zhang Ze, he and Li didn't head to the Observation Platform but found a low-lying area to rest temporarily.

In Luoyu Mountain, the sky's water flows backward, making the low-lying places relatively dry.

"At that time, I was setting up a camp with your armadillo, but didn't expect to be suddenly attacked by a group of firefly spirits..." Brother Monkey said, clutching his head.

Zhang Ze, "Firefly spirits? What are those?"

"It's those Da Tou Cai, I told you, I was attacked and you didn't believe me."

Li pouted and slapped Zhang Ze's calf with her tail.

"My mistake, won't doubt you next time." Zhang Ze shoved another small cake into Li's mouth.

The spirits of the firefly, or firefly spirits, were those Da Tou Cai. According to Brother Monkey, these little things had appeared throughout Chang State since ancient times.

They usually appeared in the form of translucent shadows, their presence undetectable, occasionally manifesting in physical form but never interacting with humans; no one had ever captured them.

Zhang Ze nodded.

Understood, it's Celebi.

Zhang Ze didn't interrupt, continuing to listen to Brother Monkey's story.

There are legends that these firefly spirits are the ghosts of the living beings of Chang State killed by the crash of Floating Mountain or the guardians of the Mother Tree; those who hurt the Mother Tree were dealt with by the firefly spirits.

Regardless of the legends, Brother Monkey heard from his grandpa that these Da Tou Cai called firefly spirits were quite dangerous and best avoided.

"Grandpa wasn't lying, those things are indeed dangerous. If it wasn't for their sudden internal strife and having your armadillo's protection, my life might have ended here." Thinking of this, Brother Monkey shivered with a cold sweat.
