Chapter 29: Summoning Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals for Battle

  "Junior Brother Sun, don't misunderstand, this is your and Duan Ren's wager, don't drag us into it, we're just spectators." Seeing the gun in Sun Wei's words, Tian Zhaonu's delicate face smiled as she waved her hand.

  "Right! Right! This has nothing to do with us, we're just watching, we won't join your fight." The man and woman standing beside Ling Yu Yan hastily waved their hands in agreement. Bullying a waste who had his cultivation crippled was beneath them. Winning wouldn't be worth mentioning, bullying a waste with crippled cultivation was no achievement at all. But if they lost, then their faces would be utterly lost, would they really be worse than a waste?

  "Trash, aren't you capable? Aren't you trying to kill me? Then go ahead and kill this wolf demon that's haunting Mount Shuangyun first! This way, you can also wash away your reputation as trash." Wu Ao said with a sinister tone. The others didn't want to oppose Sun Tao, but Wu Ao had no such scruples, daring to humiliate himself in front of the woman he pursued. This guy must die, and since he couldn't take action himself, he could use the wolf demon. If this trash died at the hands of the wolf demon, it would be perfect.

  "Pfft! Trash, you're fighting with trash, and now you're the one who's become trash. You, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to fight me? How arrogant! " Seeing Wu Ao about to intervene, Sun Tao suddenly spat out a mouthful of water at him.

  "Trash, you've found help, but doesn't that mean Duan Ren can find help too? That's only fair." Wu Ao heard this and his eyebrows furrowed deeply, almost forming a "川" character, as he suppressed the anger in his heart.

  "Fair, fair your grandfather, is Liu Kai a foundation-building period cultivator? Shameless thing, how dare you say it's fair."

  "Trash, you think it's unfair? You can also go find a helper in the foundation period!" Wu Ao spoke up for himself, and Duanyan was instantly speechless.

  "Alright, I'll take over this gamble next. Since it's a gamble, there should be some excitement to it!" The opponent intentionally tried to make things difficult for Sun Tuo, who gritted his teeth with an iron face and said.

  "Color head, you useless thing, what color head can you bring out."

  "Are you not trying to take our lives? Are you eager for me to die at the hands of that wolf demon? Our lives are just a bet." Sun Wei heard this and couldn't help but sneer, he had crossed over into this world, how could he not understand such a small calculation? It can be said that everyone present knew that Wu Ao and Duan Ren were trying to kill with a borrowed knife.

  "Hmph... We don't think that way, you're afraid of losing your life? You can choose not to gamble! We didn't hold a knife to your throat and force you." Wu Ao sneered coldly after being seen through by Sun Tiao.

  "I'll bet, how about you? I'm a worthless person, there's nothing valuable on me, so I'll use my entire body as the stake for this gamble. Of course, you're all elite disciples from within the sect, naturally you can't compare to a worthless person like me. If you want to take my life by borrowing someone else's knife, put up your own stakes, otherwise this matter will be dropped and you can do whatever you want." Sun Wei sneered coldly upon hearing this.

  "Alright, this gamble is settled then. The stakes for this round will be the total value of my and Duan Ren's lives. To prevent you from cheating, the stake will be kept by Yu Yu Xian Shuai. " Upon hearing this, Duan Ren and Wu Ao exchanged a smile, and Wu Ao suddenly felt uneasy.

  Take out the necessary tools and talismans, Sun Tuo, Wu Ao, and Duan Ren handed over their personal storage bags to Ling Yu Yan for safekeeping. After discussing the details of the gamble, Sun Tuo left with a scornful look, taking Liu Kaiyang with him.

  Because the strength of the two teams is not equal, in order to demonstrate fairness, Sun Tao and Liu Kai can set out one day earlier. Whoever kills the wolf demon first will win. Sun Tao's team has a one-day preparation time, as long as they can kill the wolf demon within this day, they will win this gamble.

  "Brother Sun, this gamble is a bit risky! If it weren't for the fact that Yu Xianzi handled things fairly and gave us an extra day to prepare, we would have had to admit defeat directly." Liu Kai said with a sigh as he walked alongside Sun Wei. Who knew that coming to Double Allowance Mountain to exorcise demons would lead to such trouble?

  "Don't be afraid, it's just a wolf demon! Grandpa and I will win this gamble together. The value of a foundation-building cultivator is definitely very rich." Sun Tao said with great arrogance.

  He lost the gamble, but he didn't suffer much loss, just the worthless junk in his storage bag wasn't worth a few spirit stones. If he had won, his value would have increased several times over.

  There's a buffer period now, what needs to be done first is to find the wolf demon, and then think of a way to kill it. Sun Tuo may be a bit reckless, but he doesn't do things without being sure, he already has a plan in mind.

  Within a day, to find the wolf demon, relying on Sun Tao and Liu Kai's aimless search is simply impossible. Sun Tao summoned four monkeys from the Flower Fruit Mountain in Journey to the West one after another, giving them an order: to find the most ferocious beast in the mountains of Yunnan, that is, the powerful wolf demon.

  Once from the world of Journey to the West, four apes were summoned, this was Sun Tao's limit, otherwise he really wanted to summon more apes.

  In the mountains, there is no tiger, the monkey claims to be the king. With the help of the apes, Sun Tao and Liu Kai can quickly search for this pair of Yuanshan, this speed is several times faster than their aimless search.

  "Sun, you're raising monkeys or something? How did you catch so many apes as spirit beasts? If we're looking for spirit beasts, shouldn't we be finding some fierce and powerful ones instead? That wolf demon over there looks pretty good to me." After wandering around for half a day, the apes returned one by one to report back, at which point Liu Kai couldn't help but tease Sun Wei.

  "Hurry up, something's happened, Little Jin has found the wolf demon!" Sun Tiao heard Liu Kai's teasing voice and shook his head, then raised an eyebrow and said. From Little Jin's gestures, Sun Tiao knew that the ape they had sent out had found the wolf demon.

  "Found the wolf demon, you little guy is really capable! Hurry up and get your spiritual beast to lead the way, as long as we kill that wolf demon, we'll win this bet!" Liu Kai heard this and rubbed his hands together excitedly.

  Ancient trees reach for the sky, branches dense and leaves lush, straight into the clouds, vines and creepers densely intertwined, thorns growing deep, valleys in the forest stretch far and wide, a small brook babbles and flows in the mountains.

  Two men and a monkey, ran non-stop, jumped over several hills, came to an open forest.

  Behind this place is a big mountain, and far away there is a small stream winding through it. Clouds and mist surround the area, with flowers blooming in the forest and birds singing sweet melodies. Countless tall pines and green cypresses stand upright, while monkeys cry out and birds chirp loudly, and wild beasts howl towards the sky.

  As I looked closer, a burst of eerie energy suddenly rose from the forest, and a monkey leapt out fiercely from within.

  "Brother Liu, be careful, the wolf demon is right in this forest." Having sent all the summoned apes into the world of Journey to the West, Sun Tao scanned his surroundings with a vigilant expression and said to Liu Kai. The sword symbol and the small flying sword artifact in his hand were gripped tightly.

  "Found the wolf demon, Brother Sun! You're really as lucky as a dragon and phoenix!" Liu Kai quickly followed up, unable to resist giving Sun Tao a flattering remark.

  He originally thought that Sun Tiao and Yunlan Zong's fellow disciple's gamble was just a matter of pride, but he didn't expect that Sun Tiao actually had some real skills, and was able to find the trail of the wolf demon so quickly. As long as they found the wolf demon, this gamble could be considered half won.

  "Waaaah..."

  As soon as Sun Tao and Liu Kai entered the dense forest, a loud wolf howl echoed through the woods. A majestic, muscular gray-backed wolf with shiny fur appeared before them. Dark gray aura swirled around its body, its eyes gleaming with ferocious light. The enormous wolf was awe-inspiring, its agile limbs and tightly drawn abdomen exuding powerful beauty. Its sturdy physique was not at all flabby, clearly a formidable opponent.

  "It's okay, it's just a spiritual beast that hasn't transformed yet and doesn't know how to restrain its demonic energy. If it transforms, then we're in trouble." Liu Kai said, giving Sun Tao a boost of confidence as he looked at the wolf demon walking towards them with an air of leisurely strolling through a courtyard.

  "I can't believe it! Look at that beast's eyes, they're so calm and collected, it doesn't even put us in its sights. This shows just how strong and confident it is." Sun Tuo stared intently at the wolf demon walking slowly towards them, feeling an immense pressure, and furrowed his brow as he said this, such a human-like expression shouldn't be on a low-level demon beast's face, there should only be ferocity in its eyes.

  "Hiss!" A flying sword talisman was the first to leave his hand, striking first and gaining the upper hand. Sun Tao wasn't a fool, he would only counterattack after the wolf demon launched its attack.

  This is a different world, not a society ruled by law, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, in this world strength comes first.

  Sun Tuo made a move, and Liu Kai also moved. He took out his flying sword artifact and slashed at the wolf demon.

  The wolf demon was surrounded by a black aura, swift as a leopard, and dodged the black light shot out by Sun Tao's sword symbol with a pounce. It formed a straight line to charge at Sun Tao, disregarding Liu Kai's flying sword that came slashing over.

  The wolf demon rushed over, Sun Tao knew that this wolf demon was a very vengeful master. He flew back with his body and immersed his mind into the world of Journey to the West. In an instant, he summoned Bajie Erlang out. Bajie Erlang felt the danger and immediately protected Sun Tao behind him.

  Bengba the Second will entangle the rushing wolf demon, and Liu Kai will then charge in with his sword. One man and two apes are fiercely fighting together, while Sun Tao is operating the Yuanshen Treasure Record to recover his depleted spiritual energy, and for now, this is Sun Tao's limit as he summons Bengba the Second.

  "Sun, you've really gotten me into trouble this time! This wolf demon is no ordinary wolf demon, it's a second-tier peak demon beast that's comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage! The wolf demon's claws are as hard as iron and can withstand Liu Kai's flying sword, if not for the intervention of the two generals, Liu Kai would definitely be no match for the wolf demon."

  In the world of demonic beasts, within the same realm, demonic beasts are always a bit more powerful than cultivators. This second-stage peak wolf demon is only one step away from condensing its inner dan and is on par with a foundation-building period cultivator. If they hadn't made that bet with Duan Ren Wu Ao, they might have been able to outrun this wolf demon, but now it's not possible, so they can only grit their teeth and face it head-on.

  "Liu brother, hold on for a moment, I'll come to help you right away." Bangbi the Second was no match for the wolf demon's sharp claws with his ordinary weapon, and after a few rounds of fighting, he was already battered and bruised. Sun Tao knew that Bangbi the Second was not a match for this wolf demon, so he thought of summoning the shrimp soldiers and crab generals from the Dragon Palace, who were fully armed and would surely have a great advantage in battle.

  "Damn it, what the hell are you doing, Sun Tao? You've recalled your spirit beast, how am I supposed to fight now?" In the woods, Liu Kai couldn't even wield his sword properly, and was forced to engage in a fierce battle with the wolf demon. As soon as Sun Tao recalled his injured spirit beast, Liu Kai let out an involuntary cry of surprise, for he was now left to face the wolf demon's ferocious attack alone.

  Balls of fire shot towards the wolf demon, sword lights flashing continuously, Liu Kai was fighting with great difficulty. Sun Tao's divine sense had entered into the world of Journey to the West, his divine consciousness flew over the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, entering into the vast Eastern Sea.

  In the East Sea, huge waves were surging and foaming, with strong winds howling. Sun Wukong's divine consciousness entered the water bottom, where he saw a team of shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrolling at the sea bottom. These shrimp soldiers and crab generals wore shiny armor, held sharp blades, and their bodies were covered in scales that had transformed into armor. He chose two of them, recited an incantation, and Sun Wukong felt dizzy for a moment before his divine consciousness was completely depleted. One shrimp soldier and one crab general then left the Journey to the West world.

  That shrimp soldier crab, as soon as he left the world of Journey to the West, received Sun Tao's order and immediately swung his iron fork at the wolf demon. Sun Tao, on the other hand, because of a momentary excessive consumption of divine thoughts, suddenly sat down on the ground with a thud. His entire head was dizzy and blurry, as if it were a ball of dough.
