In the evening, the rain gradually stopped.

   A ray of sunlight illuminated the earth through the clouds.

   First burn, then blisters, the surface of the ruins-like demon city was already covered with a layer of black mud-like objects, covering everything up.

  Monkey sat blankly, watching the aftermath of the demon army in the mountains and plains, his eyes kept blinking.

   One after another seriously injured monsters were carried to the temporary tents, and Yang Chan and a group of military doctors were busy running around. And next to the camp, there were piles of corpses, like a mass grave.

   Most of them were burnt black beyond recognition. As a demon without relatives, naturally most of them will not be claimed.

   After a lot of hard work, they came to Huaguo Mountain. Did they think that this would be the result?

  It is impossible to say that this incident did not hit the Huaguoshan demons who were in high spirits. The monkeys were hit especially hard.

Short-mouthed step by step climbed the pile of rubble where the monkey was sitting, sighed, and said: "The casualties have been counted, and a total of 3,656 souls have been collected. That is to say, there are already 3,656 souls. More than a hundred...maybe more. Also, not all the bodies have been found yet, they are still trying their best to search."

   "Got it." The monkey said nothing, just lowered his head and looked at his hand.

   Those hands were very human-like, only slightly redder, more wrinkled at the joints, and looked a little old.

   walked up to the monkey, and Stubbs took out a water bottle from his waist and handed it to the monkey.

  Monkey raised his hand and waved to signal no need.

   Seeing this, Short Mouth pulled off the lid of the kettle, raised his head and took two gulps, closed the lid, looked at the fleet in the sky, sighed long, turned and sat beside the monkey.

   "What are you thinking about?" he asked.

   "I was thinking, should I give each of them a separate tombstone."

   "Establish a tombstone?"

   "Yes." The monkey nodded: "There are all of them before. It seems a little unfair if there is none this time. Although the roster has been burned, you can ask again through the Hall of Life and Death."

   Short Mouth smiled helplessly: "Just thinking about this? I thought you were thinking about rebuilding."

  The monkey didn't answer, just raised his head, letting the wind still stroking the fluff of his cheeks with a bit of burnt smell. Close your eyes slowly.

   "I think. You are a bit like that guy." Short mouth sighed.

"Who?"

   "White Ape."

  Monkey returned a faint smile.

   Short Mouth glanced at him and sighed longly: "I don't know White Ape. And where is the old cow now, is it okay? Don't be reincarnated into a monster again."

   "What if you were reincarnated as youkai? It's only been a few years, and it's time to change shape. When they change shape, we will have a place. By then, the monsters will no longer need to be like street mice."

   "Are you that confident?"

   "Aren't you confident?" the monkey asked rhetorically.

Short Mouth was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dryly: "Of course I have confidence, if not, I would have run away. It's just... When we came out of the dungeon, we thought we already had a place, but unexpectedly, a battleship A bunch of firebombs that wiped the city we've worked so hard to build off the map. Ironic."

The monkey turned his face and stared at the slanted pillar beside him and said, "It will be re-established. For thousands of years, the heaven will be surrounded and suppressed all the way. Haven't the monsters been so endless all the time? At that time, the Tianhe Navy's The account will be settled with them.”

   will be reckoned, as long as you hold on and live to that day.

   From a distance, the monkey saw Dajiao squatting on the edge of the corpse pile next to the camp, crying loudly.

   "What's the matter with him?" the monkey asked, pointing at the big horn.

Short Mouth reached out and patted the monkey on the shoulder: "I'll go and comfort him. Sister-in-law... She happened to be at home when the accident happened, and Dajiao was not there, so she didn't escape. However, Lingxi was only slightly injured, and now Feng Chi is taking care of her. "

   After saying that, Short Mouth straightened up the armor covered in mud and plaster, stood up, and walked towards the direction of the big horn.

  The monkey blinked and moved his lips, but he didn't hold back a word until the short mouth went far.

  …

  In the main hall of the flagship of Nantianmen, Nezha pointed at Tiantian and shouted: "Tell me clearly, what exactly do you mean by this?"

   "Third Prince, didn't the last commander make it clear just now?" Tian Tian spread his hands and asked back.

"What do you know?" Nezha slammed the flaming gun in his hand and shouted: "Dongsheng Shenzhou is the responsibility of our Nantianmen, and Huaguoshan is also our Nantianmen's responsibility for encirclement and suppression, and the Jade Emperor has not issued a new will. , when is it your turn to intervene by the Tianhe Navy?"

"Third Prince's words are bad." Tian Tian shook his head and said, "Our army will never intervene. This time, it was because the astronomical instrument on the battleship was broken, and the direction was lost, so I entered by mistake. Dongsheng Shenzhou. After that, the driving array of the battleship also broke down for some reason. Unfortunately, it crashed. Fortunately, everyone came to the rescue, so there were no casualties. Did Nantianmen never crash a battleship? It can't be said that it is my Tianhe Navy's fault to report to the Lingxiao Palace."

   "It's clearly you who stopped the circle's operation!" Nezha said angrily.

  Tiantian laughed: "Whether we stopped by ourselves, we will find out after checking. But before that, please ask the third prince to help us find the wreckage of the battleship that was left in the demon city."

"you!"

   "Or, the truth of the matter itself is not important, the third prince just wants to apologise for the few monsters who were killed by the battleship with bad luck?" Tian Tian laughed sarcastically.

  Nezha's eyes widened, his face flushed red, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

   In desperation, he could only look at the two heavenly kings standing aside.

   At this moment, Heavenly King Chiguo and Heavenly King Duowen also frowned.

   The Tianhe Navy has indeed done what happened today. If one accidentally attracted the Monkey King, even the two of them and Nezha might not be able to completely control the situation. At that time, Huaguo Mountain will be suppressed, and Li Jing and Li Tianwang will definitely never be able to come back.

   This is the result that the two heavenly kings are unwilling to see anyway.

  This is what the marshal Tianpeng promised, will he take the life of the king of heaven into consideration?

  But even though there was all kinds of dissatisfaction in his heart, he had no choice but to swallow it in his stomach. Leaving aside the matter of Li Jing, the Tianhe navy has indeed made a lot of sense in this matter.

  Tian Tian stretched his waist and said: "If there is nothing wrong, the last commander will go down first. The matter has been notified to the marshal, and our army will soon send someone to pick us up."

  …

  The aftermath was going on in an orderly manner, but the monkey just sat on the rubble. The leaders of Huaguoshan came to report the situation to the monkey one by one, as if the rubble had become his office.

   "...The hardest hit area is the center of the city. The army has few casualties..."

  …

   "...The most serious casualties were the alchemy room in the center of the city and the civilian demons in various departments. The loss exceeded 50%..."

  …

   "...The distribution center was directly hit by the battleship, and no one was spared..."

  …

   "...More than 80% of the facilities in the city were damaged..."

  …

   "...Nezha's answer is...The Tianhe Navy entered by mistake..."

  …

   "...The residences of the main generals are mostly located in the city. Therefore, the family members suffered heavy casualties..." Before the words were finished, the crocodile spirit who came to report was already weeping.

  Monkey knew that he had just been newly married. There must have been an accident at home.

  …

   In the middle of the night, more than a dozen generals gathered in front of the monkey, including the big horn and the crocodile spirit.

   They came to petition. The petitions raided the Nantianmen fleet and killed the generals of the Heshui Army today to vent their anger.

  After the Horned Snake made a speech that was not impassioned with his not fluent lips and tongue, the monkey slowly stood up and turned away silently. Only a group of generals in the same place were left to peep at each other.

  Monkey wanted to say something to persuade them, but what did he use to persuade them?

   Go on, I'm afraid the monkeys themselves will be persuaded by them.

   He rationally told him that he couldn't do that, for the long haul. For the future, not like that. When he was in the Evil Dragon Pond, he couldn't pursue the escaped Xuan Guibu, and he couldn't turn back to fight against Tian Heng. It was true then, and it is true today.

   Therefore, he could only choose to leave silently.

   But where can he go without him?

   His own residence has been burned down. After wandering aimlessly in the rubble for a long time, in the end, he just moved from one rubble to another and continued to sit in a daze.

   After several years of running-in, Huaguoshan already has the most efficient mechanism of this era. Simple aftermath work does not require him to take action, and complex work cannot be done now. As for treating the wounded, that is simply not what he can do as a practitioner.

   All he can do now is to find a place to calm his mind for a while.

   At dawn, Hydra appeared in front of him.

   "Are you looking for me too?" the monkey asked.

"No, I just came over to say hello when I suddenly saw you sitting here alone. What can I do? I'm just a guy who helps with chores. Now that the work is done, they think I'm in the way. I'll get out of here automatically." After speaking, he straightened the joystick and made a crackling sound in his joints, exhaled slowly, and sighed, "Damn it, saving people is more tiring than killing people."

  Monkey looked at the nine-headed worm and said, "Thank you, the old dragon king and the Halloween princess for me."

   "Don't let him hear what you said."

"why?"

"He has long regarded himself as a person from Huaguoshan. You are talking to him now, aren't you out of your mind? When you look back, it's a long-winded one." The appearance of tears and snot, Nine-Headed Worm thought about it. To shiver.

  Monkey smiled reassuringly.

   "Hey, let me ask you a question."

"Say."

   "Today...why don't you make a move? I'm ready in the back. As soon as you make a move, I'll attack them on the other side, so that they can't care for each other."

   "When you're done with your hands? It's up to the two of us..." The monkey pointed to the demon soldiers scattered all over the ruins and said, "With them, can we clean up the 180,000 Heavenly Army together?"

   "Even if it can't be cleaned up, at least mess with them, right?" Nine-headed insect bared his teeth.

   "Then what?" the monkey asked, staring at the Hydra.

   "Then? Need then?" Hydra asked in surprise.

  Monkey just smiled lightly and didn't answer.

The nine-headed worm frowned suddenly, he walked quickly to the monkey's side and said, "Is it what you want to do? Don't you feel very aggrieved? We have worked so hard to get rid of the demon city for so long, give them a gift. A battleship, as soon as you smash it, it will be smashed! Can you swallow this breath? It's not like you."

  The monkey looked at the Hydra with his eyes open.

   For a long time, the nine-headed worm spread out his hands and said: "Well, it's still a bit similar. But if it was me, I would definitely not be able to bear it. In fact, if you hadn't turned back today, I would have rushed out. Those bastards..."

   said, he kicked a piece of broken tile out of the distance.

  The morning sun rises slowly from the eastern horizon, and the radiance shines through the dense Nantianmen fleet, illuminating the entire Huaguo Mountain.

   Nothing can stop the arrival of a new day, but many monsters have been invisible.

   The two big demons just stayed like this, the slanting shadows were drawn so long that they were reflected on the scorched black ground, and even the outlines could not be clearly seen.

   After a long time, the monkey lowered his head and said slowly, "Actually, I know that you have never been able to understand why I want to support troops here."

   The nine-headed worm pouted and nodded.

  Monkey said with a wry smile: "Whether it's you or me, in terms of cultivation and military strength, few humans can match. If you want to live alone, maybe, it will be easier to live. Maybe."

   "It's not possible, it's certain." The Nine-Headed Worm said, "It's really tiring to be afraid of your head and tail."

   "But aren't you alone now? Even if you leave Huaguo Mountain, you are no longer alone."

   The Hydra was stunned.

   Indeed, he is married, now has a wife, and a father-in-law, he is no longer alone.

"There are some things that we can't let go if we want to. If we keep doing nothing, there will never be a world that belongs to us in this world. Not because we are weak, but because we have no strong partners, no Belonging to a powerful group. If the demons do not rise, we can only live like a stray mouse. We live in a world without friends and relatives."

   "When a heavenly soldier is humiliated, there will be a heavenly general. When a heavenly army is subdued, there will be a great army to conquer. This is human beings. Just because they are human, they are protected. What about us?"

  Monkey closed his eyes slowly and didn't say any more.

  Hydra's eyes slanted towards the monkey: "You're just for this?"

   "Because I promised some people some things." Monkey sighed.

   After being silent for a long time, the hydra hummed and laughed. Pointing to the rubble all over the ground, he asked: "Above the Heavenly Court, there are Sanqings. What if they defeated a million Heavenly Army? They haven't shot against us now, just because we are not good enough to threaten their status. In their eyes, we are not as good as a bug. Do you think it is really possible to build a powerful demon kingdom under their noses, compete with the heavenly court, and keep a piece of the sky of our own?"

Taking a deep breath, the monkey said: "Whether you believe it or not, they have a reason why they can't let me die. This is our only chance. For the demon, maybe this kind of opportunity will never happen again. There will be. Success or failure will be within these three hundred years.”
