Chapter 387: Chapter 387

"Brother, where is the monster?"

Wang Yang directly spoke up, "There’s a tall mountain a thousand miles south from here, called Trap Empty Mountain. Inside the mountain, there’s a Bottomless Cave, which is the dwelling of the monster. Since the monster has already taken Xuanzang, it should have returned to the Bottomless Cave by now!"

"A thousand miles south?"

Sun Wukong furrowed his brow in thought, then smiling he said, "Just now, Old Sun went to beg for alms, headed south, but Old Sun only traveled four or five hundred miles and did not reach that Trap Empty Mountain."

"However, Old Sun can see a thousand miles in the distance and indeed spotted a mountain in the distance, which must be the Trap Empty Mountain Brother mentioned."

"Hmm, also, you should be nearing Mount Meru by now. What are your plans at this point?"

Wang Yang asked, looking at Sun Wukong.

"Once we reach Mount Meru, everything should come to an end, and I hope you can lend a hand then!"

Sun Wukong looked at Wang Yang, somewhat silent.

Wang Yang didn’t speak, just slightly smiled.

On the other side, Zhu Bajie and the Sand Monk looked on tensely as Sun Wukong closed his eyes.

"Second Senior Brother, do you think the Great Senior Brother can do it?"

The Sand Monk asked, somewhat worried.

"If he cannot, why don’t you give it a try, Junior Brother Sand?"

Zhu Bajie said to the Sand Monk with a smirk.

"No, no, no, Second Senior Brother, I can’t do it!"

The Sand Monk hastily shook his head, thinking that if even Sun Wukong couldn’t do it, how could he possibly figure it out.

At that moment, Sun Wukong opened his eyes.

"Brother, how did it go? Did you find that monster?"

The Sand Monk quickly asked.

Zhu Bajie also looked over.

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "I’ve worked it out. A thousand miles to our south there’s a tall mountain named Trap Empty Mountain, and inside it, there’s a Bottomless Cave—home to the monster."

Upon hearing this, the Sand Monk couldn’t help but jump out impatiently, shouting, "In that case, what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry to that darn Trap Empty Mountain and rescue Master!"

"It’s all your fault for not protecting Master properly. Even let someone kidnap Master right in front of your eyes!"

Zhu Bajie said irritably.

"I didn’t know, it happened so fast!"

The Sand Monk also felt helpless and said with a sense of resignation.

Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "Now that things have come to this, let’s not blame Junior Brother Sand. The Bottomless Cave is vast and intricate, and I fear that the monster has also set up various prohibitions inside. It won’t be easy for us to find Master!"

"But brother, if we all head to Trap Empty Mountain, what about the horses and luggage?"

Just as they were preparing to depart, the Sand Monk said somewhat worriedly.

Sun Wukong casually replied, "Don’t worry, the Local Mountain God here can naturally take care of them for us, and the White Dragon Horse is no ordinary steed. With them here to watch the luggage, there’s no need to worry!"

"Great Senior Brother is right, Junior Brother Sand, since you failed to protect Master this time, you must accompany us to Trap Empty Mountain to rescue Master. It’s also a chance for you to redeem yourself!"

Zhu Bajie said, still not in a good mood.

Without much further discussion, Sun Wukong stomped on the ground.

Smoke rose from the ground, and a little old man appeared on the surface.

Several other figures also emerged.

It was the Local Mountain God of this place.

"Great Saint, may I know what matters you have called upon this Minor Deity for?"

The Local Mountain God spoke respectfully.

"Our Master has been kidnapped by a demon, and we’ve summoned you here hoping you would look after our luggage, ensuring nothing gets taken."

Before Sun Wukong could speak, Zhu Bajie had already blurted out.

"Great Saint, rest assured, Marshal Tianpeng," the Land God spoke with reverence. "This Minor Deity will surely guard the luggage until you return!"

Following that, the trio of Sun Wukong took to the air and flew south. A thousand miles passed in the blink of an eye, and soon Zhu Bajie could see a tall mountain ahead.

Looking at the mountain before him, Zhu Bajie said with a laugh, "Brother Monkey is right; this is indeed Trap Empty Mountain."

Sun Wukong looked down and saw a stone stele at the foot of the mountain, which indeed had ’Trap Empty Mountain’ inscribed on it in large characters.

Sun Wukong smiled and nodded, "The demon is within this mountain, but where is the entrance to the Bottomless Cave?"

Just then, the Sand Monk pointed into the distance and said, "Great Senior Brother, look over there."

Sun Wukong followed the Sand Monk’s pointing direction and saw two Female Demons fetching water by a mountain spring.

Sun Wukong turned his head towards Zhu Bajie and said, "Blockhead, do you see those two female demons in the distance?"

Zhu Bajie glanced over and quickly nodded, "I see them, but they are really not much to look at."

"I didn’t ask you to judge their looks. Those two female monsters are most likely little demons from the Bottomless Cave. Go and scout out some information first. See whether our Master is dead or alive, and what the situation is like. It’s another chance for you to make amends."

Sun Wukong said with a smile.

Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Zhu Bajie nodded, "Alright, I’ll go right away."

It was only a matter of asking a couple of little demons for information, nothing dangerous, so Zhu Bajie naturally wasn’t scared.

"Hey, blockhead, you’re being sent to gather information this time, don’t just go and kill those two demons straight away. If we accidentally alert the demon, and it moves our Master, then we wouldn’t know where to start looking!"

"Besides, we still hope these two little demons could lead us to the Bottomless Cave. That would make it easier to enter!"

Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Zhu Bajie nodded and said, "Alright, I got it! These two demons are not to be killed; they could still be useful!"
