260 Clear of Heart, Seeing one’s Nature, Comprehending the Emptiness 1 (1/2)

Feng Lin was alone as he squatted on a mountain peak. He stared at the monkeys having fun in the distance and couldn't help but feel slightly depressed.

Even monkeys knew how to discriminate.

These monkeys gathered together and exuded an obvious aura of keeping their stance. They coldly stared at Feng Lin; there was a wary look in their eyes as they isolated him.

These monkeys occupied a peach forest, drinking immortal drew and eating spiritual peaches. They had everything they wanted and also had no natural enemies, living a carefree and unrestrained life, a life even better than that of immortals.

Under such a carefree environment, these monkeys naturally grew arrogant. Feng Lin, this dust-covered wild monkey, naturally was disregarded by them all. There was no way they would accept him.

As he traveled behind them, there were cold looks shot at him frequently.

Feng Lin simply stayed at the back, but he wasn't too bothered by it.

Why?

Around the Flowerfruit Mountain, there was only this group of monkeys. He had circled this place once.

Since Sun Wukong successfully became the Monkey King, his subordinates naturally had to be this group. There were no others.

As for the earlier incident at the water curtain, things were recorded in the legends saying that Sun Wukong was successful.

So, why could Sun Wukong do it and was accepted as their king while he failed and got despised by all?

Feng Lin felt a little depressed.

Both he and Sun Wukong were spiritual stone monkeys, why was there such a great difference?

This meant that there must be many things that went unrecorded.

Feng Lin could only sigh silently in his heart.

Even for the Great Sage Equal to Heavens, he wasn't born strong and tyrannical, with thousands of monkeys worshipping him.

What happened exactly in the process of him being born to the point where he became the Great Sage?

Feng Lin was bewildered.

He simply followed the monkeys around and was unaware of how much time had passed.

The sun rose and sun set, days after days simply flowed by.

As the night grew deeper, the stars began to dim. The atmosphere turned gloomy and somewhat eerie.

Swish~

A blast of cold wind whistled through the air as a sudden sense of danger bore down on Feng Lin's heart.

Feng Lin was currently lying on a thick branch of a tree, startled awake. In the darkness, he could see numerous pairs of crimson eyes that were filled with hunger and cruelty.

Was it those demonic beasts again, who wanted to consume him, a spiritual stone monkey? Did they come to stir up trouble again?

A cold smile lit up Feng Lin's lips. But after thinking for a while, he felt that this didn't seem to be the case.

He had already used the innate transformation ability of the spiritual stone monkey to conceal his golden fur and aura. How could these demonic beasts find him?

At this moment, those crimson eyes gathered and were like tiny red lanterns that hung suspended in the air. The eyes looked sinister and terrifying, and they were staring in a certain direction.

(No, something is wrong.)

(These demonic beasts are not here for me.)

Feng Lin suddenly understood.

In the darkness, the silhouette of a sturdy and muscular figure as large as a tiger appeared under the moonlight.

This was a huge wolf about three meters in length and had an extraordinary air. Its body was covered in tough carapace and was terrifying to the extreme. Demonic qi resembling dark clouds enveloped it. It was clearly a demonic wolf.

A shrill howl echoed through the night, undulating up and down in volume. Many other howls joined it.

The peach forest trembled as the cacophony of howls reverberated through the air.

”Demonic wolves, demonic wolves!”

”Demonic wolves entered the forest!”

”Quickly save me!”

...

The monkeys were in complete panic; screams of fear rang out.

They all hurriedly climbed to the top of the trees, hugging the branches and trembling.

These demonic wolves that rushed out of the darkness were like evil apparitions. They leaped into the air and wrenched open their smelly maws, trying to bite the monkeys.

These monkeys on the branches naturally kept leaping around, evading the bites. But some unlucky ones were knocked down to the ground.

Kacha~

The sounds of teeth biting into bones could be heard. The demonic wolves chomped down, with blood and saliva in their maws. Their eyes contained a look like that didn't know satisfaction as they stared at the escaping monkeys. The monkeys were like prey to them; their eyes flickered with an intense bloodthirst and cruel amusement.

At this moment, when they opened their maws, balls of black demonic fire manifested and blasted out.

Those unlucky monkeys were instantly burned upon contact and became delicacies in the stomach of the wolves. All of them died miserably, with no power to resist.

ROAR!

A voice of sorrow echoed out, brimming with the heat of anger. ”Demonic wolves, you guys actually dare to target my monkeys? Are you all courting death?”

Feng Lin glanced in the direction of the voice. In the darkness, he could see beams of starlight being absorbed by a skinny-looking figure.

No, this figure wasn't a human.

It was a white-furred old ape!

Its body was clearly in a state of withering, exceptionally aged.

This old ape was simply too old. Time had squeezed out all his vitality, and it seemed ready for the grave, a heavy death aura surrounding him.

But as the starlight inundated it, that withered and skinny frame was like an old tree birthing a new sprout. Its vitality started to recover as powerful fluctuations of life force radiated forth. Its aura was extremely powerful, and the pressure it manifested felt like a tall mountain.

The group of wolves howled, evidently feeling danger. They bared their fangs and slowly retreated.

They could all feel a strong sense of threat.

If they didn't retreat, they would die!

The current king of the monkeys was already very old. However, its prestige was still there; no one could profane it.

It was like he was in the spring of his life once more. The old king of monkeys howled and leaped down from a tall tree. It directly rushed into the crowd of wolves and punched out like thunder, blasting the heads of the wolves near him off, crushing them completely.

These wolves felt the stimulation of fresh blood. They went even wilder and pounced toward the old ape, baring their fangs and slashing out with their claws, wanting to tear the ape into pieces.

”DIE!” Anger burned in the eyes of the old ape. His fingers were filled with an explosive strength as he crushed the throats of the wolves nearest to him.

Its attacks were incomparably ferocious, like the most valiant martial artist in the world. Despite its age, it didn't retreat while fighting one against all the wolves. A look of violence could be seen on its face.

With the old ape in the center, a meat grinder appeared. As long as any wolves got near him, they would instantly be torn apart, causing the ground to be dyed red with their blood.

The paradise-like peach forest was now filled with a bloody aura.
