The Monkey King

   Quietly lowered the height, Yang Chan and Yuechao flew low above the treetops, and their eyes began to search in the pitch-black woods.

   Yang Chan looked dignified, her brows furrowed, and her slender fingers were clasped from time to time. In contrast, Yuechao seemed much calmer.

   In the camp, the fainted Heizi hand moved slightly, raised his head hazy, and opened his eyes. The next moment, he suddenly widened his eyes, clenched his trident and jumped up.

   "How did I fall asleep?" In the panic, he looked sideways and saw that the monkey was still sleeping soundly, so he was relieved and calmed down a little.

   put down the trident, he sat cross-legged beside the monkey, at this moment, he saw two people circling back and forth in the sky in the distance.

   "This is... human?"

  …

   After looking for a little longer, Yuechao was also a little worried: "Why can't I find it? Logically, he will definitely come out when he sees us."

   "What if he can't see it?" Yang Chan looked at Yuechao and her expression became more solemn: "According to the short mouth, the monkey was in a coma when he met them..."

   "Even if Uncle Shi is unconscious, but what about Lao Niu? Both of them are unconscious?"

   "If, they meet the Heavenly Soldiers..." The thought flashed by, Yang Chan shook her head violently, and threw the thought out of her mind.

  The wounded old cow, the unconscious monkey, what will happen to the heavenly soldiers?

   She dared not think further.

   Dumbly hovered in the air and calmed down, she said, "Keep looking!"

   After circling the woods in the valley for a while, they found the camp. There were no sunspots and monkeys in the camp, only three monsters.

   Seeing that the three innocent little demons were still sleeping soundly, Yue Chao simply cast a spell to make them sleep even more deadly.

   The two of them landed in the simple camp and started searching around. After a while, Yuechao found a few monkey hairs.

   "Where did you find it?" Yang Chan grabbed it abruptly and put it in the moonlight to examine it carefully.

   "Here." Yue Zhao pointed to the couch made of leaves.

  Yang Chan immediately bent down and stroked the leaves with her hands, feeling the faint temperature: "He was just here."

   "How did you know it was Uncle Shi's hair?"

   "In short, it can't be these three little monsters. There is a fourth monster in this camp, and it just left. Chase!"

   Flicking her sleeves, Yang Chan was already flying ten feet away in the wind.

   "It is said that Uncle Shi is paranoid. I think Junior Sister Yang Chan is even more paranoid than Uncle Shi, especially when it comes to matters related to Uncle Shi."

   Looking at Yang Chan who was galloping away, Yue Chao could only sigh helplessly and follow.

   On the rock, in the shadow of the moon, Subhuti and Qingfengzi watched the two people in tandem from a distance.

  Qing Fengzi turned his face to the side and asked, "Master, won't you take this opportunity to bring your junior brother back?"

   "I can't take it back." Subhuti pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "If Wukong wants to go back, he must explain everything to the master. But if it is clear, he will not go back."

Having said that, Subhuti turned around and sighed: "It's up to him to go. He lost his cloud stick, turn around and ask your five junior brothers to bring him another one. This time the weight can be slightly reduced. Put it up."

   "Disciples obey the teacher's orders."

   A cool wind swept past and lowered the branches slightly, and the two people on the rock had disappeared without a trace.

  In the pitch-black woods, the diminutive Kuroko ran like a monkey on his back, sweat dripping down his hair, and in the panic, he even lost his trident.

   Suddenly, he seemed to feel something and quickly rolled over and flashed into the grass next to him with the monkey.

   Above his head, Yuechao and Yang Chan passed by.

   "He's moving, this is the direction!" Yang Chan's excited expression holding the jade slip was beyond words: "He's still alive...he's still alive!"

   On the ground, Heizi was lying on the grass looking up at the silhouettes of the two who were far away, panting, and swallowing dryly: "Who are these two people? They don't look like heavenly soldiers."

   lowered his head, he saw the monkey lying beside him.

   In terms of strength, it is not too difficult for him to carry the monkey on his back. But from the perspective of height... the monkey is a whole lot taller than him, and it is really unpleasant to carry on his back.

   But can you just ignore it if you don’t please?

   propped on the ground and stood up slowly, and Kuroko put the monkey on his back again, and after a long hiss, he stepped out of the grass and was about to go back. But before taking a few steps, he suddenly held his breath and was stunned.

   Bean-sized beads of sweat slid down the short hairs on his forehead.

Behind   , Yang Chan and Yuechao were staring at Kuroko quietly.

   "Who are you? Why are you running." Yang Chan had already pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword and shouted loudly, "Put him down!"

   "It should be the little demon who escaped together, don't get excited." Yue Chao glanced at Yang Chan and sighed helplessly.

   "Certainly not, otherwise, how could he not know us. If he knew us, what would he run away from?"

With a    clang, the sword was unsheathed.

   The voice fell into Kuroko's heart and suddenly shivered.

   He didn't know what the cultivation of these two humans was, he only knew that he would never be able to deal with them.

   "Leave Brother Monkey just like that?" he thought to himself.

   The originally startled brows slowly gathered, and when he gritted his teeth, he spread his feet and ran wildly. But before he took two steps, he found that his feet were tripped by the vines sticking out from somewhere, and when the whole body leaned, he suddenly felt that something was pulling the monkey away from him.

   He didn't care so much, he turned around and hugged the monkey's feet tightly.

   "Let go—!" Yang Chan also hugged the monkey tightly in the air.

   "You let go—!" Kuroko raised his head and roared loudly, his hand holding the monkey trembling.

   "Don't let go, I'll kill you!"

   "Come on! Kill me!"

  Yuechao couldn't stand it any longer. He crossed his hands. He gave Yang Chan a white look and said to Heizi, "Little guy, we are here to save him."

   "Save... save him?"

   "That's right. If it wasn't to save him, you could just shoot, and you wouldn't have to rob him."

   Kuroko let go a little.

  Yang Chan hugged the monkey and fell aside, put it on the ground and began to nervously check the injuries on her body.

   Kuroko stood aside and watched warily.

   Taking advantage of this gap, Yuechao walked up to Heizi, lowered his head and asked, "What's your name? How did you meet him?"

   Kuroko didn't speak, and Yuechao could only walk away boringly.

   After a while, Yang Chan wiped off her sweat, let out a long sigh, and smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's okay... He's fine."

   "He's the strongest monster I've ever seen, how could something happen?"

   put the monkey's hand on her shoulder, and Yang Chan struggled to help the monkey fly.

   Yuechao also wanted to keep up, but heard Kuroko shout from behind: "Where are you taking him?"

   Turning his head, Yue Zhao looked at Kuroko and said, "You too."

   stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a force of spiritual power bound the sunspot who was about to dodge.

  …

   In the middle of the night, the stars are bright, and in the sky, a heavenly soldier spreads his wings and walks through the clouds.

   Walking to the depths of the cloud, he raised his head and suddenly climbed to the height, and quickly stood out from the cloud surface and hovered.

   In front of his eyes, is a huge land flying in the air like a frying pan!

  This so-called land does not have mountains and waters like the mortal land. It is circular in shape, with a diameter of a hundred miles, and it is as flat as a mirror. There are many pavilions above it, brightly lit, and soldiers of the Heavenly Army can be seen everywhere in the sky flapping their wings.

   Around the land is a huge military port.

  The ships are boundless like a phalanx of the army, and on the densely packed masts, the flags of waves and sharp swords flutter in the wind.

In the clouds around   , battleships are constantly coming and going.

  This is the headquarters of the 300,000 Tianhe Naval Forces - Yunyu Tiangang.

   Strictly speaking, the location of this land belongs to the mortal world, but due to the thick cloud cover, it is invisible from the ground. And the so-called 300,000 Tianhe navy is not just 300,000.

  Due to the expansion of the limit, the actual number of soldiers of the Tianhe Navy has already exceeded 450,000, which is a full 50%. If you count the logistics and the military port garrison personnel scattered all over the place, the number is probably more than 600,000.

   But in this case, they are still understaffed.

   It is said that Marshal Tianpeng wants to expand, but he suffers from insufficient financial support.

  In heaven, all materials are circulated in the form of currency, and this currency is gold. Heavenly Court allocates gold to the army according to the establishment, and the army then uses gold to buy the materials it needs from the treasury of Heavenly Court, including food, weapons, etc., and even pays the soldiers of the heavens with gold.

   Over-editing means that most of the expenses of the Tianhe Squadron are no longer allocated by the Heavenly Court, but the rewards obtained by conquering the demons on the ground.

   From a certain point of view, this is also one of the reasons why the Tianhe Navy actively participates in the mortal war against monsters at all costs. In order to adapt to the mortal war against monsters, they even moved their headquarters to the mortal world.

   Because of this, they won the reputation of "Sword of Heaven".

   Of course, not every army in Heaven is overstaffed. For example, the Nantianmen Legion, known as the "Heavenly Shield", does not have an overstretch.

  According to the establishment, the amount of gold allocated by Heavenly Court to the Nantianmen Legion is a quota of 400,000 troops, but the actual soldiers of the Nantianmen Legion are only 200,000.

The excess    naturally fell into the general's pocket. In the mortal world, this kind of situation has a special name, called empty pay.

The more    personnel are lacking, the less you want to participate in the war, and the less you don’t participate in the war, the less you need extra personnel. It’s a vicious cycle. In the end, most of the Nantianmen Legion is hiding in Nantianmen for the elderly.

  Therefore, the saying of "sharp sword and rotten shield" among the gods of the heavenly court spread widely, which is also the origin of the irreconcilable contradiction between the Nantianmen Army and the Tianhe Navy.

   In the middle of the land, at the top of a fifteen-story tower, the supreme power holder on this land is repeating every meeting that must be passed.

"Marshal, this is the plan for the use of troops in Beiju Luzhou this time. At the end of the day, I want to send the Thunder Department to expedition. Please give instructions." A middle-aged man with a scar on his face put a book on his hands. Put it on the table in the canopy, and then bowed back into the queue of more than ten heavenly generals.

   The canopy sitting on the high platform glanced at the book and rubbed the Qingming point: "It seems that a few warships have been dispatched by the heavenly bird in the first few days of the Thunder Department? Is this okay?"

   "I will have confidence at the end." The general punched himself in the chest, his armor clanging.

"Then do as you said." He dipped some ink with a brush, gave instructions, took out his own letter and stamped a seal on it, and Tianpeng handed the book to the other party: "Tian Ren, this time I will be you in the day. lieutenant general, just in case."

   "Marshal Xie." The general named Tianren respectfully reached out and took the book back.

   A Tianjian hurried in from outside the attic, came to Tianpeng, bowed and whispered in his ear: "Marshal, Fairy Nishang is here, I want to see you, Marshal."

  Tianpeng's hand paused for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Tell her that I'm busy, next time."

   "Already said, she said wait."

   "Then let her wait."

   "Also, the Heavenly King Chiguo is here with Nezha."

   "Are you looking for someone?"

   Tian Jiang nodded slightly.

  The corners of the canopy's mouth rose, and he said with a smile, "Let them wait too!"
