Chapter 689: Wukong is freed from his cage for the first time and a dispute arises between him and t
Outside the western suburbs of the city, the wind was howling and the dust was flying.
Wu Hen rode the shabby motorcycle and felt like a knight in the apocalypse, except for a rusty machete stuck behind him.
He saw Lin Qiye standing in a wasteland from afar, like a flagpole, motionless.
"Brother Ye, are you pretending to be the wife-watching rock here? The wind is so strong, aren't you afraid of getting a paralyzed face?"
Wu Hen swung his tail in a dashing manner, stopped beside Lin Qiye, took off his helmet, and revealed his annoying smile.
Lin Qiye glanced at him and said unhappily, "Can't you be serious? This is an urgent matter, stop talking nonsense."
"Oh, my brother Ye, look at what you said, when have I ever been indecent?"
"I'm just trying to liven things up. It's pretty scary out here in the middle of nowhere."
Wu Hen said this, rubbing his arms and pretending to be scared.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Lin Qiye pointed to a cave not far away and said, "There's a monkey trapped in there. Help me get it out."
"Monkey? What monkey? A monkey trainer? Are there still people who train monkeys these days?"
"Aren't you afraid of being caught by the Animal Protection Association?" Wu Hen looked puzzled.
"Shao Pin! That's not an ordinary monkey, it's..." Lin Qiye paused and said in a low voice,
"Monkey King, Monkey King!"
"Puff..." Wu Hen almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother Ye, you don't have a fever, do you? What era is this? And Sun Wukong? Did you watch too much Journey to the West last night?"
Lin Qiye sighed helplessly. Why didn’t this kid believe it?
"Why would I lie to you? This monkey is real, but his power is sealed. Now I need someone to help him unseal it."
Wu Hen scratched his head. "Even if it's true, why should I go? I'm not Tang Monk, and I haven't recited the Tightening Curse."
"Because you're so lucky, and..."
Lin Qiye approached Wu Hen and said mysteriously, "Your system might come in handy."
"My system?" Wu Hen was stunned, then his eyes lit up.
"Yeah! How could I have forgotten about this! My universal complaining system can do anything!"
He immediately opened the system panel, looking forward to some magical tasks and rewards.
system hint:
[Trigger special mission: Rescue the Monkey King]
[Mission Description: Go to the cave, unlock the seal of Sun Wukong, and help him regain his freedom]
[Quest Reward: A random piece of mythical equipment, and... the Monkey King's friendship (maybe)]
"The Monkey King's friendship? What can this thing do? Can it be exchanged for money?" Wu Hen looked disgusted.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" Lin Qiye kicked Wu Hen on the butt and kicked him into the cave.
The cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Wu Hen groped his way forward and suddenly felt like stepping on something soft.
"What the hell! What is that?" Wu Hen jumped up in fright.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." a shrill voice sounded.
Wu Hen looked closely and found a little monkey lying on the ground in the faint light from the cave entrance. It was covered with golden hair and looked quite cute.
"No way? This is Sun Wukong?" Wu Hen looked incredulous. Isn't this too small?
He is completely different from the majestic Monkey King on TV!
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." The little monkey called at Wu Hen a few times, as if protesting his statement.
Wu Hen squatted down and looked at the little monkey carefully. "Hey, little monkey, are you really Sun Wukong?"
The little monkey nodded, then stretched out his furry little hand and pointed at a golden collar on his body.
Only then did Wu Hen notice that the little monkey was wearing a golden collar around its neck, which was engraved with strange runes.
"Is this thing a seal?"
Wu Hen reached out and touched the collar. It was cold to the touch. A powerful force came from the collar, making him shiver.
[Seal power detected, do you want to try to remove it? ]
"Of course it has to be lifted! Otherwise, why would I come here? For sightseeing?" Wu Hen chose "Yes" without hesitation.
[Analyzing the seal structure...]
[Analysis completed. 1000 Tucao points will be consumed. Do you want to continue?]
"1000 points? Why don't you go and grab them! I have worked so hard to save up these complaint points for so long, and you just wasted them on me?" Wu Hen was so distressed that he wasted his breath.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." The little monkey seemed to understand Wu Hen's words and looked at him pitifully.
Wu Hen sighed, "Forget it, forget it. Who made me a kind-hearted person?" He gritted his teeth and chose to "continue."
[Unsealing...]
[The seal has been successfully lifted! ]
The golden collar shattered in an instant, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating into the air.
The little monkey's golden hair suddenly grew wildly, and its body size also grew rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into an eight-foot-tall, majestic god of war wearing golden armor and holding a golden cudgel!
"I, Old Sun, am finally free!" Sun Wukong roared to the sky, his voice shaking the valley!
Wu Hen was stunned by the changes in front of him, with only one thought in his mind:
This is a big deal...
At this moment, a roar came from outside the cave: "Who are you, the evildoer, to dare to release the demon monkey without permission?"
A menacing figure in a black robe appeared at the entrance of the cave.
"Oh no, it's the White Tiger!" Lin Qiye's voice came from outside the cave.
It seems that a big battle is inevitable... Okay, little ones, fasten your seat belts, because things are about to get tricky!
At this moment, Wu Hen was staring at a monkey that had become "very" huge...
Wu Hen swallowed hard, the lump in his throat the size of a particularly stubborn durian.
He looked from the towering Monkey King, ready for battle, to the glaring figure of the white tiger at the cave entrance, then back to the monkey.
"brother,"
He whispered, "I really hope you have a plan B."
Sun Wukong grinned, and a golden light flashed in the dim cave.
"Plan B? Boy, I am Plan B!" He raised his golden cudgel, and the metal rod flashed with a dangerous light.
"That stinky cat thinks he can lock me up? He's about to get a hard lesson for messing with the Monkey King!"
Before Wu Hen had time to digest this extremely casual declaration of war, the white tiger roared again, and his voice echoed in the cave like thunder.
"You insolent monkey! Haven't centuries of captivity taught you humility? I'll crush you like a bug!"
He lunged forward, a furious black and white afterimage, claws extended.
Sun Wukong faced the attack head-on, and his golden cudgel whizzed through the air.
The sound of metal colliding with claws was so deafening that the walls of the cave trembled.
Wu Hen was caught in the middle of the chaos, scrambling for cover and muttering, "Note to myself: wear earplugs next time, and maybe a hazmat suit. Who knows what weird demonic goo they're throwing at each other?"
The battle was a whirlwind of hair and fury, a chaotic ballet of unimaginable speed and power.
Despite being imprisoned for so long, Sun Wukong fought like a cornered tiger—well,
It's a cornered monkey fighting a real tiger, which is honestly pretty ironic.
White Tiger, on the other hand, showed no mercy, his attacks like a storm of razor-sharp claws.
Wu Hen poked his head out from behind a particularly large stalagmite and felt a strange sense of disconnection.
He witnessed a mythical battle unfolding before his eyes, a scene that seemed to have been torn straight from the pages of legend.
However, his system kept popping up notifications about experience points and loot drops, just like it did on a normal Tuesday night monster hunt.
*System Notice: White Tiger has dropped a "slightly burnt beard"! Add it to your collection?*
He almost laughed out loud.
A "slightly singed beard"?
Are you serious?
This is a legendary duel between a mythical Monkey King and a terrifying demonic tiger.
And his reward is basically a cat toy?
This is too anticlimactic.
Meanwhile, the battle raged on.
Sun Wukong and White Tiger were caught off guard, roaring angrily and clawing blindly in the air.
"You didn't catch me!" Sun Wukong taunted, his voice full of playful malice.
"Try again, kitten!" He landed behind the white tiger with a thud and gave the tiger a swift kick in the butt.
The white tiger screamed, more from surprise than actual pain, and turned around, his eyes blazing with anger.
He unleashed a surging tide of "demonic energy" towards Sun Wukong.
The Monkey King stumbled back, his golden hair singed and smoking.
He coughed and a puff of black smoke came out of his mouth.
"All right,"
“That hurt a little,” he admitted.
Suddenly, Wu Hen's system rang.
*System Notification: Opportunity Detected! Distract White Tiger with a witty quip! Reward: +2000 XP, "The Art of Sharp Taunting" skill book.*
Wu Hen blinked.
A witty quip?
Is this some kind of cosmic joke?
But 2000 experience points...this is not to be underestimated.
He took a deep breath and yelled, "Hey, White Tiger! Your breath smells like catnip and failure!"
The effect...is unexpected.
The white tiger was in the middle of a roar when it froze for a moment, a look of utter confusion on its face.
Sun Wukong seized the opportunity and swung his golden cudgel with all his strength, hitting the white tiger's jaw with a sickening "crunch".
The tiger collapsed like a sack of potatoes, groaning in pain.
Sun Wukong landed gracefully beside him and dusted off his shoulders.
"Did you see that?"
He smiled and said to Wu Hen, "Dreams come true only through teamwork."
Wu Hen was still a little dazed by the absurdity of it all and could only weakly give a thumbs up.
He had a feeling things were about to get even stranger... and he couldn't wait.
He looked at the system notification.
That's right, +2000 experience points.
Who knew a witty one-liner could be so effective?
Maybe he should try stand-up comedy.
The entrance to the cave suddenly became dark. Lin Qiye walked in and looked at the scene in front of him.
He looked at the dizzy tiger, the smug monkey and the completely bewildered Wu Hen.
"So," he said, his lips curling up slightly, "how's the situation?"
Wu Hen was still digesting the crazy events of the past few minutes and just pointed at the groaning tiger.
He murmured, "I subdued him with insults."
