The Green Lion Spirit quickly advised, "You mustn't have any outrageous ideas."
"Hehe, brothers, since you know that the monk is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, you should know that if you can eat Jin Chanzi, it is probably more powerful than any elixir."
The Golden-Winged Roc's words were full of temptation.
"This……"
The Green Lion Spirit and the White Elephant Spirit looked at each other in dismay. This was indeed as the Golden-Winged Roc had said. No matter what, Tang Sanzang was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. Even if he didn't become immortal by eating the Longevity Sword, if a demon really ate him, his magical power would probably increase greatly.
“Brother, your idea is good, but if we really do it, I’m afraid even the Buddhas will not forgive us. Besides, that monkey is not easy to deal with. Not only is he highly skilled, but he also has a lot of connections. For example, the White Angelica True Monk has been invited by that monkey many times along the way.”
"If Bai Zhi is invited here, how should we deal with the enemy?"
The Green Lion Spirit shook his head, thinking that the Golden-Winged Roc's idea was beautiful, but completely impractical.
“My two brothers are very strong, they can definitely hold off that monkey. As for what happens if that monkey brings Bai Zhi... hehe, my two brothers, I've eaten quite a few dragons.”
The Golden-Winged Roc was quite confident. As a Roc, he was naturally able to subdue dragons, although most of the so-called dragons he ate were actually jiao and dragon beasts.
But even a true dragon has devoured things before. For example, the Lion Camel Ridge, which was originally home to a country, was completely devoured by him and two other monsters, including the River Dragon King and others.
He was quite adept at dealing with dragons, and his bloodline suppressed them to some extent.
"When the time comes, we'll eat Tang Sanzang first. When they come looking for us, they probably won't be able to do anything to us. As for the blame from Mount Ling, don't bother your two brothers, I'll take the blame myself."
"I refuse to believe that the Buddhas could kill me!"
The Golden-Winged Roc revealed a confident smile. Unlike the Green Lion Spirit and the White Elephant Spirit, who were both masters, he was masterless and didn't have as many concerns as the two monsters.
"Hey, let's talk about that later. Let's eat first. This is a princess from a nearby country that we finally managed to hunt down. She has such delicate skin and tender flesh."
The Green Lion Spirit chuckled.
But the next moment, a voice came over, "Reporting, Your Majesties, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King from the east has brought Tang Sanzang to pay his respects."
"Um?!"
The three monsters were all startled, and the Golden-Winged Roc's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Quickly, let that demon lord in!!"
He shouted hurriedly.
The centipede demon led Tang Sanzang into the cave, and upon seeing the three monsters, bowed and said, "This humble Taoist priest, along with Tang Sanzang, greets the three great kings."
"This...is this really Tang Sanzang?!"
The three monsters looked at Tang Sanzang behind the centipede demon, and were pleasantly surprised when they sensed the aura of merit on him.
Why would the Demon Lord bring Tang Sanzang here?
The Green Lion Spirit was a little curious. This centipede spirit was just a mountain village demon. Logically speaking, it should have eaten Tang Sanzang itself when it encountered him. How did it end up being brought to their cave?
This doesn't make sense.
"This is a long story, as the three kings should know. That monkey is highly skilled. If it were just him alone, I could still handle him with my supernatural powers. But that rascal also brought the White Angela True Monk with him to fight me."
"Before that True Lord, my Hundred Eyes Divine Power was truly powerless. In desperation, I suddenly thought of the Three Great Kings. With the power of the Three Great Kings, they can surely withstand the attacks of Bai Zhi and the mischievous monkey."
"As for Tang Sanzang, the three kings only need to give me a bite."
"So that's how it is! Haha, the Demon Lord's choice is undoubtedly correct. Those mere monkeys and Bai Zhi are nothing but chickens and dogs. Minions, drag Tang Sanzang away, wash him clean, and then steam him!"
With a smile on his face, the Golden-Winged Roc waved his hand, and immediately a group of little demons stepped forward, pulled Tang Sanzang down, and led him away.
"You really want to eat it?"
The Green Lion Spirit swallowed hard.
"Why not? You two brothers are both mounts of Bodhisattvas. If one day you could devour a Buddha, wouldn't you want that?"
……
Upon hearing this, the Green Lion Demon and the White Elephant Demon exchanged a glance and said, "Let's do it!"
"You monster, release my master right now, or we'll wreck your entire cave!"
"Oh dear, my three kings, that monkey and Bai Zhi have probably followed my trail here."
Upon hearing this voice, the centipede demon trembled and quickly said...
"Hehe, those mere rascals, Monkey and Angelica, brothers, let's go together and hold them off until that monk is cleaned up, steamed, and turned into food. Then, no matter how capable they are, it won't be of any use!"
Chapter 938 Artificial Magma Zone
"It truly is a hellish place..."
Above Lion Camel Ridge, Bai Zhi scanned the area below. It was a scene of human flesh and blood turned to mud, bones piled up like mountains, ghostly fireflies flickering, and countless ghosts chirping in the night.
It's ironic, in a way, that the Bodhisattva's mount would come here and do such a thing.
"Monkey, how about we try something bigger this time?"
At this point, Bai Zhi calmed down.
"Little White Fox, what do you want to do..."
The monkey wasn't stupid either; it was also somewhat horrified when it saw the piles of white bones.
Along the way, there were quite a few man-eating monsters, and even Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing had eaten people before, but the number was relatively small.
The situation at Lion Camel Ridge, where an area of 800 li in radius was completely wiped out, with bones and corpses scattered everywhere, was indeed unprecedented.
Bai Zhi could understand the behavior of monsters eating people. Humans can eat animals, and animals and monsters can naturally eat humans. To some extent, it's just a natural cycle, and there's nothing to question about it, as long as one isn't afraid of being held accountable afterward.
However, no one would like the kind of behavior that Lion Camel Ridge exhibits, which is more akin to slaughter.
"Your opponent might just be a Bodhisattva's mount!"
"Hey, what's that? If it were a Bodhisattva's mount, I'd want to kill it even more!"
The monkey slung his golden cudgel over his shoulder and said, "To be honest, I've had enough of those mounts that come down to earth and cause trouble. Every time I'm about to kill one of them with my cudgel, someone else comes to the rescue. It's really annoying."
"Hehe, if I get the chance today, I'll definitely turn this place upside down."
"Hmph, how arrogant! That impudent monkey and that little dragon dare to spout nonsense in front of our Lion Camel Ridge!"
Three dark clouds rose up, and the Green Lion Spirit, the White Elephant Spirit, and the Golden-Winged Roc flew up.
"Who do we have here? It turns out to be a scruffy bird, a sick lion, and a tusked monster."
Upon seeing the three people, the monkey immediately began to offer its critique of their appearance.
"You impudent monkey, how dare you insult us like this!"
Upon hearing these titles, the Green Lion Spirit lost his temper and drew his broadsword, roaring angrily at the monkey.
"Isn't that right? Look at your pale face, you probably haven't eaten enough in a long time."
Upon hearing this, the Green Lion Spirit was immediately enraged. As the mount of a Bodhisattva, he was always treated with utmost respect. Who would dare to make such a critical comment about his appearance?
"Brother, don't be anxious. This mischievous monkey is just trying to provoke you."
The Golden-Winged Roc patted the Green Lion Spirit on the shoulder, then stepped forward. "You impudent monkey, I know you've come looking for that monk, but unfortunately, we've already eaten him."
"You bullshit!"
"I'm not making this up, you'll see."
The Golden-Winged Roc casually tossed out a cloth bag, which fell onto the clouds, revealing what was inside: a human head with most of its face destroyed, the remaining part of which looked remarkably similar to Tang Sanzang.
"When the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord presented the monk, he preemptively cut off the monk's head. We only ate the monk's body."
"If you want to settle scores, go find that person. We didn't kill them."
The monkey naturally didn't believe such nonsense. Its eyes immediately flashed with golden light as it shone them toward the human head. But to its astonishment, the human head did not reveal its true form under its fiery eyes; it remained unchanged.
"See? I wasn't lying to you. We ate that monk a long time ago. Now you want to find a master? It's too late."
"There's no point in fighting us now, you might as well just go home and be your mountain king."
Seeing the monkey's stunned expression, Bai Zhi patted him on the back, "You didn't actually believe in this kind of thing, did you?"
"But this head is clearly real..."
Why are you acting so foolish now?
Bai Zhi squatted down and gently touched the person's head.
Then, the mangled head began to change rapidly, eventually returning to its original, intact state.
"Look, isn't this the monk?"
The monkey immediately looked over and saw that although the human head on the ground was extremely similar to Tang Sanzang, almost 80% so similar that it was nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, there was an extra beauty mark at the corner of the eye.
Those are clearly characteristics that the real Tang Sanzang did not possess.
The trick that had fooled the monkey in the original story has now been instantly cracked.
"Hey! You hairy beast, how dare you lie to your Grandpa Sun!"
Without saying a word, the monkey raised his stick and struck at the Golden-Winged Roc.
"when!"
With a clanging sound of metal striking metal, the Blue Lion Spirit's steel blade blocked the attack.
"Hmph, Third Brother, I told you long ago that this kind of trick won't fool this monkey. Sooner or later, we'll see who's the real deal."
The Golden-Winged Roc didn't speak, but in an instant, it flashed to Bai Zhi's back, its sharp claws carrying a gale as it pierced straight into Bai Zhi's heart.
Since they had already made the decision to eat Tang Sanzang, they would definitely strike first and leave no chance for their opponents.
Only actors talk a lot of nonsense while rambling on.
However, the scene he had envisioned—a stab to the back of the heart—did not occur. Instead, a series of sparks made his claws ache.
The girl before him had transformed into a gigantic white dragon, and his indestructible claws could not scratch her tough scales in the slightest.
A few puffs of white vapor appeared from Bai Zhi's mouth before she opened it.
"boom!"
Intense flames erupted from it.
As a golden-winged roc that prioritizes speed, he naturally avoided this terrifying breath attack immediately.
But the countless monsters below suffered greatly. Bai Zhi's breath carried the effect of a dragon talisman, and when it landed in the monster-filled mountains, it was no less than creating a terrifying lava field.
The ever-burning flames, if touched by even a tiny spark, will quickly spread throughout the body unless the limbs are amputated in an extremely short time, until the person is reduced to ashes.
This was Bai Zhi's intention.
The wind-up for her breath attack is too long, making it virtually impossible to hit the Golden-Winged Roc, which is known for its speed. However, these lesser demons below are her real targets.
These monsters have eaten so many people; it's time to recoup their interest.
"hateful!"
The Golden-Winged Roc looked down at the little monster who had been burned to a pile of charcoal, and was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He abandoned his human form and transformed into a giant black eagle that blotted out the sky.
When he was in human form, he had suppressed his strength. Now that he has transformed into his true form, his power and other suppressive abilities have increased significantly.
He let out a piercing shriek and lunged towards Bai Zhi.
He was all too familiar with this move. Countless dragons, dragon beasts, and even the river dragon king near Lion Camel Ridge had been crushed to death by his claws under this deadly attack.
Chapter 939 Killing Demons and Obtaining Demon Cores
With his incredible speed, his claws successfully grasped Bai Zhi's dragon body.
This overjoyed him. Demonic power surged from his sharp claws, and then he pressed his entire body down, just like a hawk seizing a snake.
But then he cried out in pain, because Bai Zhi's dragon body was covered with terrifying flames, and as soon as he touched it, these flames spread like a bone-deep infection.
This kind of flame spreads extremely quickly, and as a Golden-Winged Roc, he has a lot of feathers and is weak against fire.
Even though its body was so enormous that it almost covered the sky in this area, under the effect of the dragon talisman, the covered sky seemed to be set on fire, with flames burning on it, causing the temperature here to rise rapidly.
The Golden-Winged Roc was terrified and quickly channeled its demonic power to block the flames.
But what chilled him to the bone was that even his demonic power had become nourishment for this flame. Although it temporarily prevented the flame from spreading to his body, the flame continued to grow stronger.
Feeling his demonic power rapidly depleting, he gritted his teeth and made a tragic decision.
