Chapter 407: New Mysteries and Joyful Adventures of the Mysterious Bead
Liu Yu and the others, carrying the mysterious beads, strolled leisurely along the winding path. Flowers bloomed profusely on both sides, their blossoms dancing in the breeze as if applauding their departure. Pigsy, meanwhile, was still savoring the delicious food from the banquet, occasionally letting out a loud burp and muttering, "That roasted mutton was absolutely amazing! I, Old Pig, haven't had enough!"
Xiaoqing smiled slightly and teased, "With your greedy look, if you keep eating like this, your belly will probably turn into a big ball. You'll have to be pushed around to walk, and a strong wind might blow you to the ends of the earth."
Pigsy, unconvinced, puffed out his round belly and declared confidently, "I call this a carefree and plump body; being able to eat is a blessing. Who knows, if I encounter any danger someday, my belly can be used as a shield and come in very useful."
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. Just then, Er Gou stared curiously at the bead in Liu Yu's hand that emitted a faint glow, his eyes full of doubt, and asked, "Brother Liu, what secrets do you think this bead holds? It feels like every time it's there, it brings us something unexpected."
Liu Yu stared at the bead, her eyes also filled with curiosity and contemplation, and slowly said, "I can't figure it out either. This bead is very mysterious. Before, it not only purified evil, but also teleported us to this unfamiliar place. Who knows what amazing abilities it will show later."
Fahai clasped his hands together devoutly and said solemnly, “This bead is no ordinary object. The power it contains may have intricate connections with the balance of good and evil in this world. All of you benefactors must treat it with utmost caution.”
As they were talking, a wide river suddenly appeared ahead, its waters rushing about like a wild horse, the surging waves crashing violently against the hard rocks on the banks, creating a deafening roar. Looking as far as the eye could see, there were neither bridges nor any boats in sight.
"How am I supposed to get across?" Pigsy looked at the surging river, scratched his head anxiously, and said with a mournful face, "I, Old Pig, can't swim at all. I can't possibly swim across to feed the fish, can I?"
Xiaoqing's bright eyes quickly scanned the surroundings. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "Look, there are some thick, sturdy trees over there. If we can cut them down and make them into a raft, we might be able to cross the river smoothly."
Liu Yu nodded in agreement and decisively said, "Good idea, let's get started right away."
Everyone immediately took charge of their tasks and got to work. Pigsy, full of energy, shouldered his nine-toothed rake and began smashing it fiercely against the tree, shouting a rhythmic chant: "Heave-ho, heave-ho, watch how powerful I, Pigsy, am!" However, the tree was thicker than expected, and no matter how hard Pigsy tried, he only managed to knock off a few bits of bark.
“Bajie, your method is not quite right.” Liu Yu stepped forward and said patiently, “We have to start from the roots of the tree, and everyone should take turns cutting it down. That way we can save energy.”
So, following Liu Yu's suggestion, everyone took turns using tools to chop down the tree. With everyone's concerted efforts, the tree finally fell with a dull thud. Afterward, everyone worked together to carefully repair the tree, finally building a simple yet sturdy raft.
They carefully pushed the raft into the river and then boarded it one by one. As soon as Pigsy got on, the raft visibly sank. He immediately turned pale with anxiety and shouted, "Oh no, is it going to sink right now? I, Pigsy, don't want to end up as fish food without knowing why!"
Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said, "You're such a busybody. Just sit still and don't move."
Liu Yu and Fahai each picked up a tree branch to use as an oar, and with all their might, they rowed the raft slowly toward the center of the river. The river was extremely turbulent, and the raft was violently tossed about in the surging waves. Everyone clung tightly to the raft, not daring to breathe, for fear of being thrown into the river at any moment.
Just then, a gigantic crocodile leaped out of the water like a black lightning bolt, its jaws wide enough to swallow a person whole, and viciously lunged at the raft. The crocodile's incredibly sharp teeth gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight.
"My God, what the hell is this?!" Pigsy was so frightened that his face turned ashen, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he almost fell into the river.
"Don't be afraid, everyone!" Liu Yu shouted, drawing his sword swiftly and thrusting it at the crocodile's head with lightning speed. The crocodile reacted with incredible agility, twisting its massive body to skillfully evade the attack, splashing a large spray of water high into the air.
Fahai rapidly chanted a mysterious incantation, and in an instant, a radiant Buddhist light shone, attempting to subdue the crocodile with divine power. Xiaoqing, meanwhile, quickly shook her bell; the clear, ringing sound sent waves of light through the air, like invisible ropes, disrupting the crocodile's movements. Xiaotian also barked wildly at the crocodile, as if defying the enormous creature.
Pigsy finally recovered his senses, grabbed his nine-toothed rake, and swung it at the crocodile, roaring, "You beast, how dare you scare me, old pig! Take this!" The crocodile was hit by the rake and, in pain, plunged into the water with a splash.
"Phew, they're finally gone." Pigsy breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead.
Before they could even celebrate, the crocodile reappeared menacingly, this time followed by several smaller crocodiles, and together they launched a fierce attack on the raft.
"This is a huge problem! So many crocodiles, what are we going to do?" Er Gou's voice trembled with fear, his face filled with panic.
Liu Yu quickly calmed down and said methodically, "Everyone, don't panic. Focus and listen to my instructions. Bajie, you are mainly responsible for attacking the crocodiles that approach the raft; Xiaoqing, continue to use sound waves to disrupt their movements; Master Fahai, please continue to use your Buddha light to deter the crocodiles; Ergou, you and Xiaotian should pay close attention to the surroundings and be careful to prevent any crocodiles from attacking from behind."
Everyone immediately took their positions, engaging in a thrilling and fierce battle with the crocodiles. Liu Yu, with sharp eyes, seized the opportunity and precisely stabbed a small crocodile with his sword. The little crocodile, in pain, sank into the water with a "glug." Zhu Bajie's nine-toothed rake whistled through the air, swinging incessantly, deterring any approaching crocodiles from daring to get close. Xiao Qing's bell sound waves noticeably slowed the crocodiles' movements, and Fahai's Buddhist light instilled fear in them, causing them to occasionally let out low growls.
After a fierce and arduous battle, the crocodiles finally succumbed to the group's counterattack and reluctantly gave up their attack, slinking away in disgrace. The group breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work together to row across the river.
After crossing the river, they arrived at a bustling little town. The streets of the town were lined with all kinds of stalls selling a dazzling array of goods. Pedestrians came and went, bustling about, with shouts of vendors and laughter mingling together, creating a vibrant scene.
"Wow, it's so lively here!" Pigsy's eyes lit up with excitement. He looked around and said impatiently, "I, Old Pig, am going to take a good look around. Maybe I can find some delicious food that will make my mouth water."
The group strolled leisurely through the town. Suddenly, a deafening cheer reached their ears. Following the sound, they discovered a fighting arena erected in an open space, already surrounded by layers of people. On the arena, a spirited young man was fiercely testing his martial arts skills against a burly, imposing man.
"What are they doing?" Pigsy asked curiously as he approached an elderly man with white hair.
The old man smiled kindly and slowly replied, "This is a martial arts arena held in our town. If you can win ten consecutive matches on this arena, you will receive a generous reward that will make people envious, and you will also become an honorary guard that everyone in our town admires."
Upon hearing this, Pigsy immediately became interested and said with rubbing his hands together, "I, Old Pig, will also join in the fun. Maybe I can get an honorary guard position and earn some extra money to improve my life."
Liu Yu quickly advised, "Bajie, don't be so impulsive. Let's observe the situation first."
But Pigsy couldn't wait any longer. He pushed through the crowd, leaped onto the stage, and shouted, "I'll have a go at you masters!"
The burly man on the stage looked Pigsy up and down and sneered, "With your round, fat appearance, you think you can come up here and compete? I advise you not to regret it when I beat you until you're crying for your parents."
Pigsy was so angry that he glared and shouted, "Hmph, you big guy, don't look down on me! Watch how I, Old Pig, deal with you!"
The two quickly assumed their fighting stances, and the contest officially began. The burly man was agile and nimble, his fists and feet flying like a whirlwind as he attacked Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie, relying on his thick skin and tough flesh, withstood several blows before seizing an opening and swinging his nine-toothed rake with tremendous force, smashing it down on the burly man. The burly man never expected Zhu Bajie to be so strong and couldn't dodge in time, being swept away by the rake and falling to the ground with a thud.
"Haha, I won!" Pigsy laughed triumphantly, his laughter echoing across the arena.
Suddenly, someone shouted from below the arena: "That doesn't count! He used a weapon! That's clearly unfair!"
Upon hearing this, Pigsy was immediately displeased. He put his hands on his hips and loudly retorted, "How is it unfair? This weapon has been with me through countless battles, it's become one with me. If you're so capable, find a suitable weapon for yourself."
Liu Yu, who was offstage, quickly shouted, "Bajie, stop arguing. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's follow their rules."
Pigsy grimaced helplessly, put down his rake, and muttered, "Fine, I don't need it. I can still win even with my bare hands!"
Next, several more people who were confident in their martial arts skills went up to challenge Zhu Bajie. Although Zhu Bajie was without a weapon, he defeated several opponents in succession by relying on his agile movements and innate brute strength.
Just as Pigsy was basking in his nine consecutive victories, feeling triumphant and as if the whole world was at his feet, a young man dressed in white strode confidently onto the stage. The young man was handsome and dashing, his eyes revealing an innate confidence and untamed spirit.
"So you're that fat guy who won nine straight games? You don't look like much of a threat." The young man in white raised his eyebrows disdainfully, his tone full of contempt.
Pigsy was so angry that he roared, "You pretty boy, you'll be crying later, just wait and see how I teach you a lesson!"
The contest resumed. The white-clad youth moved with a light and graceful gait, like a ghost, weaving freely around Pigsy. Pigsy was dazzled by him, barely able to touch the hem of his clothes, and was occasionally struck by him, wincing in pain.
"Oh dear, this kid is too fast! I, Old Pig, can't catch him at all!" Pigsy shouted anxiously, sweating profusely as he dodged attacks.
Xiaoqing shouted anxiously from below the stage, "Bajie, don't rush. He is fast, but his strength is definitely not as good as yours. Stay calm and wait for him to get closer before you make your move."
Hearing Xiaoqing's words, Pigsy took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and stop launching blind attacks, instead focusing on firmly defending his position. Seeing that Pigsy's defense was impenetrable and he couldn't find a weakness, the white-robed youth gradually became impatient, and his attacks grew increasingly fierce.
Just as the white-clad youth approached again, Pigsy stared intently at him, seized the opportunity, and grabbed his arm with lightning speed. With a forceful jerk, the white-clad youth was flung away like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the arena.
