Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Meanwhile,

Ao Yun returned to Shuilian Cave and received Sun Wukong's telepathic message. He found the Forever King Fox and Fengyun, who were anxious about their daughter and disciple being unconscious, and gave them an explanation.

"My daughter fell unconscious because she consumed an Immortal Pill?" The Forever King Fox was a bit incredulous. Although his daughter was the great king's servant girl, she wasn't qualified to eat an Immortal Pill, was she?

"My disciple as well?" Fengyun also found it hard to believe.

An Immortal Pill, he dared not even dream of it...

But his disciple had consumed one, and it was even a Three-Turns Elixir.

What immense fortune was this?

Being by the great king's side truly brought blessings.

"The great king would not deceive us. After seven days and nights, they will awaken, and their bodies will have undergone a transformation, and their Primordial Spirits will have grown considerably," Ao Yun said with a smile. "You just need to make sure someone takes good care of the two of them."

The Forever King Fox and Fengyun bowed deeply and said, "We will naturally take good care of our daughter (disciple). There's no need for Second King to worry."

After the two left, Ao Yun was about to go find the Bodhisattva when a monkey soldier rushed over with a letter, which was about the Six-Eared Macaque's situation.

"The Six-Eared Macaque got into a fight with other monsters?"

"And almost got beaten to death?"

Ao Yun's face was a picture with a bizarre expression, as he put away the letter and headed toward the cold iron ore field—

At the cold iron mine,

"What are you doing? Back to the mines with you!"

After the Six-Eared Macaque was nearly beaten to death by an elephant demon and a rhinoceros demon, the ox demon and the horse demon arrived just in time and shouted, "Dare to fight again, and both of you will have double the workload for today and tomorrow!"

The ox demon helped up the Six-Eared Macaque while the sheep demon inquired about the situation.

Without asking it would have been fine, but once they did, the miners had no way to "uphold justice" for the Six-Eared Macaque.

It turned out that the Six-Eared Macaque had tricked two new horse demons and donkey demons into stealing other monsters' food, then they were caught red-handed, and afterward, the horse demon and donkey demon betrayed the Six-Eared Macaque.

The Six-Eared Macaque's original intention was to use these two dimwitted fellows to make trouble. As long as the commotion was big enough, he would have his chance to take advantage.

But unexpectedly, the horse demon and donkey demon appeared dull and stupid, yet they were actually shrewd.

The moment they realized they couldn't win, they immediately betrayed the Six-Eared Macaque.

Then after that, the Six-Eared Macaque was dragged out by the elephant and rhinoceros demons; under the guise of sparring as friends, they two-on-one beat the mana-sealed Six-Eared to an inch of its life.

Although the Six-Eared's body was extraordinary, his pipa bones were pierced, causing every step to hurt like his heart was being ripped apart, let alone fight; even mining every day made him grit his teeth in pain.

Therefore, in this battle, the Six-Eared Macaque was always passively taking hits.

And the ox demon and sheep demon, the two supervisors, had actually arrived early but didn't immediately rush to the scene because they were "going to the toilet" nearby.

It wasn't until they felt the Six-Eared Macaque was about to be beaten to death that they "belatedly arrived."

"I'm telling you, monkey, why don't you learn your lesson? You even incited the lesser demons to steal things, disturbing order and unity. It looks like you'll need to be locked up for a while," the sheep demon said with a look of utter disappointment.

The ox demon spoke with heartfelt pain, "Given that there's a cause to this, and that cause is you. So, you will be locked in the water dungeon for some time, to reflect and learn your lesson."

The sheep demon added, "And you'll only be allowed one meal a day."

With bared teeth and a mouth agape, the Six-Eared Macaque said nothing to these two fools.

Though the two horse demons and donkey demons had betrayed him, he had obtained what he wanted: pieces of flesh from the elephant demon and the rhinoceros demon.

Those were the things he bit and tore off during the fight, the things he needed to escape Huaguo Mountain.

When they reached the water dungeon, the sheep demon opened the gate, and the ox demon took out a thick iron chain, binding the Six-Eared Macaque's limbs and tail, and then threaded it through the chains around the Six-Eared's pierced pipa bones before tossing him down.

Splash!

The Six-Eared Macaque fell into the water.

The other end of the chain was tied to the iron bars of the dungeon's door above, making it easy to pull up the Six-Eared Macaque later.

"Reflect well in there," the ox demon scolded, and then said to the sheep demon, "Let's go, Brother Sheep. We can rest for a few days now; with that fellow in the water dungeon, he won't escape."

"That makes sense," the sheep demon nodded.

"Let me out!"

"Otherwise, I'll definitely kill you!"

"Bastards!"

"..."

Hearing the curses coming from behind, the ox demon and sheep demon only turned back to look and then burst into laughter.

"This Six-Eared monkey keeps repeating the same lines."

"Ignore him. The more you pay attention to such demons, the more excited they get; let him curse."

"What if he dies of thirst?"

"Fool, isn't that a water dungeon?"

"Right."

In the water dungeon, the Six-Eared Macaque, hearing the voices of the ox demon and sheep demon fading away, also stopped cursing. His body shrank, and he slipped out of the chains.

"Just chains to trap the Six-Eared Macaque?"

```

"Dream on!"

Despite his words, the Six-Eared Macaque was in so much pain that he could hardly bear it, and his entire face was slightly contorted.

The reason was that his shoulder blade had been penetrated, the wound kept splitting, and touching water was incredibly irritating, to say the least.

Moreover, the water in the water prison had been almost dyed red with his blood.

"Ugh!"

The Six-Eared Macaque shoved a finger deep into his throat and vomited out two chunks of flesh covered in mucus.

After washing away the mucus, the Six-Eared Macaque held the two pieces of flesh in his hands and kept rubbing them, grinding away the red flesh until only white, thread-like substances and two pieces of grey, hard skin, each about the length of a thumb, remained.

Though the skin of elephants and rhinoceroses isn't hard, it is extremely tough.

Using this as a base, the Six-Eared Macaque meticulously tore it into thin strands and then, with a special technique, twisted them into shapes similar to embroidery needles.

Having mingled in the Demon Realm for many years, the Six-Eared Macaque had picked up some odd skills.

What did the Six-Eared Macaque need the needle for?

Naturally, to unlock the shoulder blade lock on his body.

He had realized that none of the lesser demons—be they newcomers, undecided in their hearts, or those accustomed to the mining life, honest and obedient—were able to create enough commotion in Huaguo Mountain to allow him to escape.

Therefore, he returned to his original plan, intending to unlock the shoulder blade lock first.

Wrapped around his entire body, the most crucial part of this shoulder blade lock was not the hook that had penetrated his shoulder blade, but rather the cold iron lock behind his back that kept the chain in place.

Once he could undo that, he could use his strength to pull the hook out from his shoulder blade, thereby allowing his mana to return!

In the past, he hadn't thought this way, always focusing on how to escape, how to tear off or melt the chains.

Now he thought about it, why should he clash head-on with the chains?

Wouldn't it be better to just pick the lock directly?

In his youth, he had walked among humans, and activities like stealing chickens and dogs, or picking locks, were all too familiar to him. ThiscopywasgeneratedfromcontentatMV|LEMPYR.

Of course, this operation was not something he had planned in advance, but rather an improvisation after learning that the horse demon and donkey demon had given him away.

At first, he indeed only wanted to cause some trouble for the mine.

After all, he had almost resigned himself to his fate.

But upon seeing the elephant demon and rhino demon, a sudden flash of insight led him to decide to take advantage of the situation and ask for some of their skin and flesh, to free himself from his shackles and regain his freedom.

So far, the plan had gone very smoothly.

And these past few days, Sun Wukong had been hosting a banquet for the Celestials and Deities of Heaven, undoubtedly too busy to watch over him, making it the perfect opportunity for him to escape.

This time, he was determined to break free!

After preparing the soft needle, the Six-Eared Macaque tested it and felt quite satisfied. He tucked his hands behind his back and started fiddling with the lock there.

Click~

Click, click!

"It worked!"

All locks have a corresponding structure, and once the correct spot is found, a single thread can unlock them.

There are locks in this world that are talismans, but the Six-Eared Macaque was certain that the lock behind him was not a talisman but simply made from cold iron ore, bearing no trace of a talisman.

Apart from being hard, it had no other distinctive features.

It seemed that Huaguo Mountain was still in its early stages, lacking an abundance of talismans, and he had never heard of Sun Wukong refining artifacts; they usually hired blacksmiths from Ao Lai to forge weapons.

Splash!

The lock behind him opened and fell into the water, and the Six-Eared Macaque laughed unrestrainedly.

"Hahahaha!"

"Haha..."

However, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Though the chains on his body had come undone, the hook that had penetrated his shoulder blade remained immovable. The laughter, having agitated the wound, made the hook dig even deeper.

"Hiss—"

The Six-Eared Macaque tried to pull out the hook, but it was as elusive as the moon reflected in a mirror or a flower's reflection in the water, untouchable yet undeniably present within his flesh.

Using his hands was futile, and so was using his feet, which enraged the Six-Eared Macaque to the point of madness.

"What on earth is this thing?"

"This is the Dragon Tooth Hook. It is crafted from the teeth of deceased dragons and refined into a hook. Once it penetrates a human's body, a mortal would have no chance of survival.

As for a demon, they would either die from the pain or have to pull out the flesh and bone along with it," a crisp voice came from above as Ao Yun gazed indifferently at the Six-Eared Macaque who had unlocked his chains.

"But since the Dragon Tooth Hook has penetrated your shoulder blade, if you were to dig out the shoulder blade along with it, not only would your abilities be ruined, but you'd also be unable to cultivate anew."

Grinding his teeth, the Six-Eared Macaque said, "The dragon race is this despicable?"

Ao Yun said indifferently, "It's just a precaution... I advise you to be obedient and serve your three hundred years; after that, your freedom will naturally be restored. Why be so stubborn?"

"Nice words, but after three hundred years, who knows, you might find some reason to keep me down, never granting freedom," the corners of the Six-Eared Macaque's mouth curled up in a cold smile.

"At least you have a three hundred years' worth of hope, don't you?" Ao Yun's gaze was tranquil like water. "And if you continue to be obstinate, that term is only going to keep increasing."

"For instance, you incited those two little demons to steal..."

"Even though what they took wasn't valuable, you still have to take responsibility and face an added ten years."
