Chapter 394: Chapter 394

"Sparing you is not difficult, but it all depends on your performance," Sun Wukong said with a cold smile.

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit hastily nodded and said, "As long as the Great Saint is willing to forgive this humble one’s crimes, I am willing to do whatever you ask. I only seek to save my life; I have no other desires."

"Humph! You think Old Sun would believe you?"

Sun Wukong said with a cold huff.

The White-Furred Mouse Spirit quickly said, "Now that this humble one has been captured by the Great Saint, I am at the mercy of the Immortal and dare not play any tricks."

"It’s best not to play any tricks. If you do, see if Old Sun doesn’t take your dog’s life."

Sun Wukong said in a cold voice.

In fact, at this moment, Sun Wukong was also hesitating in his heart, unsure of how to deal with the Mouse Spirit.

Although the Mouse Spirit didn’t have many followers, and keeping her around wouldn’t be of much use, they were after all approaching Mount Meru, where she could still be somewhat useful.

Better to let Xuanzang convert the Mouse Spirit.

As Sun Wukong was hesitating, the White-Furred Mouse Spirit suddenly lifted her head and opened her cherry lips slightly, spitting a puff of yellow smoke towards Sun Wukong that came at him head-on.

Sun Wukong’s face changed immediately, knowing the smoke was toxic. He held his breath and closed his eyes quickly. At this moment, the female demon suddenly raised a foot and kicked at Sun Wukong.

Hearing the sound, Sun Wukong hastily dodged to the side.

Because Sun Wukong was using his energy to resist the poison, he could no longer suppress the female demon’s mana within her body. The Female Demon opened her huge mouth and bit towards Sun Wukong’s wrist.

Sun Wukong certainly did not wish to be bitten by the Mouse Spirit, so he had no choice but to let go and immediately kicked her, striking the Female Demon’s stomach. He heard the Female Demon scream miserably as she was sent flying backward.

Sun Wukong had thought he had subdued the Female Demon but hadn’t expected her to suddenly release a stream of toxic smoke, catching Sun Wukong off guard.

A shrill, wretched scream rose as the Female Demon flew backward with her mouth open, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood that turned into a rain of blood, trickling down.

After kicking the Female Demon in the waist, Sun Wukong immediately thought something was wrong and quickly chased after her, but he was still a step too slow.

With a loud "clang," the Female Demon’s body hit the wall, overturning the table and scattering candles, offerings, and other objects all over the place.

And the body of the Female Demon, upon touching the wall, fused directly into the wall and disappeared without a trace.

Sun Wukong was immediately outraged, his body shook with fury, and energy dispersed from him, instantly dispersing the surrounding toxic gas. Jingu Bang materialized in Sun Wukong’s hand.

With both hands gripping Jingu Bang, he smashed it towards the ground.

With a thunderous boom,

The force of Sun Wukong’s strike was immense, causing the entire Bottomless Cave to tremble violently.

The wall was blasted open, creating a large hole, and wild energy wreaked havoc, causing the entire Bottomless Cave to shake continuously.

Dust and debris kept falling from above, as if the entire cave dwelling was about to collapse.

However, the White-Furred Mouse Spirit had already vanished without a trace. Although the Female Demon was not particularly strong, Sun Wukong’s hastily delivered kick, though severely wounding her,

was not enough to take her life. The Female Demon’s forte was the Earth Traveling Technique, and it was precisely with this divine skill that she managed to make her escape.

"I didn’t expect to be so careless this time. Despite all my calculations, I still let this vile creature escape," Sun Wukong said with a slight frown.

At this moment, sudden screams resounded in the hall. The little demons were screaming one after another, falling to the ground, foaming at the mouth, their bodies convulsing. Red blisters sprouted from their bodies and faces like bamboo shoots after rain, bursting forth one by one.

Then with a pop, they exploded, spewing a thick liquid.

In an instant, the little demons were corroded into a pool of thick liquid, dead.

After their death, the little demons reverted to their original forms, leaving behind only piles of skeletons. However, these were not human bones, but those of rodents, all of them large as calves in size.

"Indeed, a nest of rodents!"

Sun Wukong slightly furrowed his brow.

These little demons were not killed by Sun Wukong, but by the poisonous fog sprayed out by the Gold-Nosed White-Haired Mouse Spirit. Although these little demons had cultivated human forms, their cultivation levels were too low, unable to withstand such intense poison.

To save her own life, the White-Furred Mouse Spirit naturally did not care about the lives of her subordinates.

Dust and small stones continually fell from the ceiling, filling the entire main hall with flying debris, rendering it a complete mess. Although Sun Wukong was protected by his divine power and remained spotless,

he did not wish to stay in such an environment any longer. Moreover, as the White-Furred Mouse Spirit had already fled and given her cunning and cautious nature, she must have found a place to hide, giving Sun Wukong even less reason to remain.

Soon after, a golden light flashed as Sun Wukong left the main hall to find his way out of the Bottomless Cave.

It was at this moment that he saw Zhu Bajie preparing to come down at the entrance.

After all, Xuanzang had been rescued, and there would be lasting peace if they could capture this monster.

"No need to come down!"

Zhu Bajie quickly stopped and asked with a furrowed brow, "Brother Monkey, the ground just shook as if there was an earthquake. You must have clashed with that demon! How did the battle go?"

"The demon has been gravely injured by me; however, it is adept in the Earth Traveling Technique and has escaped despite its injuries!"

Sun Wukong sighed helplessly as he spoke.

Zhu Bajie gave a sheepish smile and said, "I didn’t expect that even you could miss, Brother Monkey, but indeed, this demon is quite difficult to deal with!"

Zhu Bajie himself had also nearly suffered at the hands of the demon last time.

"Stop gloating over this disaster. Now that the demon has escaped, it is bound to become a future threat,"

"Even though the demon is seriously wounded and won’t recover anytime soon, we should still leave this place as quickly as possible! If it recovers and snatches your master away again, that would spell trouble," Sun Wukong said sternly.

"Yes!" Zhu Bajie nodded, "You’re right, Brother Monkey. The best way to eliminate future trouble is to capture the demon. Otherwise, it will always be a menace."

"You make it sound so easy!" Sun Wukong said irately, "This demon is very cunning. It nearly lost its life this time; where would it dare to show up again? Who knows where it’s hiding now?"

"Right! The demon must be too scared to come out now, which is good for us! We can travel in peace," Zhu Bajie nodded in agreement.

"Let’s hope so. But we must stay vigilant during this time to prevent that demon from returning and taking away the old monk," Sun Wukong said, nodding.

"Well then, let’s go up first!" Zhu Bajie nodded.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie then left the Bottomless Cave and returned to the surface.

Sand Monk was hiding Xuanzang in a safe place. After the group met up, they went back to the main road, collected their horses and luggage, and continued their journey.

After Sun Wukong and the others left Trap Empty Mountain, a golden-nosed white-haired mouse suddenly emerged from a cave at the top of the mountain.

This mouse was not overly large, about the size of a cat, and her fur shone brightly, making her quite beautiful. If one did not see the head and tail, they might mistake her for a white Persian cat.

The large mouse transformed into human shape and revealed herself as the Gold-Nosed White-Haired Mouse Spirit.

However, her face was pale, and she appeared weak, clearly indicating her injuries were severe.

Looking in the direction in which Sun Wukong and his companions had departed, hateful glints shot out from her small eyes as she gnashed her teeth and said, "That detestable Sun Wukong, not only did he ruin my plans, but he also injured me gravely and destroyed my cave dwelling. Just you wait!"

"I will repay today’s humiliation a hundred times over in the future and make you regret crossing me. As for Xuanzang, don’t think you can escape either!"

The Rat Spirit clenched her fists tightly.

After a while, the demon’s emotions gradually stabilized.

She couldn’t help but frown; with those fellows now on guard, capturing Xuanzang might not be so easy.

It seemed she needed to devise a better plan.

She had just found Xuanzang nearby and was determined to possess his Yang Essence.

The Rat Spirit slowly clenched her fists as if she had already grasped Xuanzang.
