However, he still understood the principle of "know yourself, know your enemy, and you will never be in peril," so he asked, "Since you know Zhu Ganglie, then you must also know Sun Wukong, right?"
Little Whirlwind imdiately replied, "Of course I know, I also know about the rest of their group, including the Six Ears Macaque, General Roller Blind, and a white dragon horse."
Wukong looked at him warily and said, "Since you know that, then you must also know that Sun Wukong excels in the thod of Transformation. If he is to co here, he will surely transform into so plant, bird, fish, or bug, or even into you or to gather intelligence. Therefore, I suspect you might not be Little Whirlwind but Sun Wukong himself!"
Little Whirlwind grew anxious, "Officer, I truly am Little Whirlwind, not Sun Wukong."
"Just because you say you’re not ans you’re not? I’ll test you first!" Sun Wukong said.
Without any suspicion, Little Whirlwind imdiately patted his chest and said, "Officer, ask away. There’s hardly anything on this mountain I don’t know about."
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, then asked, "If you are indeed genuine, then do you know what abilities our King possesses?"
Little Whirlwind imdiately responded, "I know, I know! Our King has vast Divine Skills; he once swallowed a hundred thousand Heavenly Troops in one gulp!"
Upon hearing this, Wukong’s heart skipped a beat.
He had fought against a hundred thousand Heavenly Troops and knew what kind of strength they represented. To swallow them in one gulp was indeed mighty!
Little Whirlwind continued, "The Queen Mother once hosted the Peach Banquet, inviting all the Heavenly Immortals and Buddhas, but she didn’t invite our King. Our King was displeased, so he went straight up there.

When the Jade Emperor sent out a hundred thousand Heavenly Troops to stop him, our King simply used the thod of Transformation and turned into a colossal lion that reached heaven, swallowing those hundred thousand troops in one bite! It scared the Heavenly Troops so much they dared not leave the Southern Heavenly Gate, and his reputation shook the world!"
Wukong thought to himself, "What a formidable old demon, he seems to have so of the prowess from my younger days. I’ll have to challenge him later!"
Sun Wukong continued to deceive him, "You’re not wrong there, but what else do you know?"
Little Whirlwind said, "The Second King is just as fearso, standing three zhang tall, with silkworm eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a voice like a beauty’s, brandishing teeth shaped like plaques, and a nose like a flood dragon’s. If he fights soone, with just a snort from his nose, even soone with an iron back and a bronze body is useless, his soul gets swept away instantly, and he dies on the spot, his spirit extinguished!"
In his heart, Wukong noted down that the Second King specialized in the Soul Capturing Technique.
The Soul Capturing Technique could be troubleso, but with Wukong’s soul and body united as one, he also had no fear.
Sun Wukong continued to nod and said, "Not bad at all, continue."
Little Whirlwind, seemingly eager to show off how much he knew, boasted proudly, "The Third King is even more impressive. He is no ordinary monster from this realm but is known as the Golden Winged Great Peng, which can cover a distance of ninety thousand li with a single flap of his wings, moving as fast as the wind and lightning. Moreover, he possesses an extraordinary treasure nad the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle. As long as one is trapped inside the bottle, within a few monts they turn into a puddle of blood! That is as dead as dead can be."
Wukong silently noted down that the Third King was fast, but Wukong’s cloud sorsaults weren’t slow either, so he could compete with him. He just needed to be cautious of that bottle…
At the sa ti, Wukong said, "What you’ve ntioned matches what I know. Last question, everyone knows that the fake Tang Monk is fierce, and eating him won’t grant immortality. Why doesn’t our King learn from the other demons and flee, instead of staying here to capture the fake Tang Monk?"
Little Whirlwind imdiately replied, "Our great King and the Second King have long resided in the Lion’s Roar Cave on Lion Cal Ridge. The Third King doesn’t live here; he originally lived about four hundred li to the west.
That place has a big city called the Lion Cal Kingdom. Five hundred years ago, he ate the King of that city, along with all the officials and everyone else, both big and small, until the city was completely empty. He seized their realm.
Recently, the Third King announced he would soon marry.
Our great King and the Second King figured they didn’t have much to offer as a wedding gift, and when they heard that the fake Tang Monk was coming from the east, they decided to capture him and give him as a gift to the Third King for a change of taste.
Of course, people say that the fake Tang Monk is formidable and demons avoid him, but the three Kings don’t accept that. This is a good opportunity to kill him and let the world understand that no baldy can make our King back down. It’s to boost our reputation and establish authority."
Sun Wukong was at a loss for words when he heard this.
He had seen creatures eager for death, but never one so confident in courting it.
Then Sun Wukong hoodwinked Little Whirlwind into disclosing so information about Lion Cal Ridge. After asking enough questions, he was not satisfied and planned to delve deeper into the tiger’s den for a thorough investigation. However, relying solely on the transford Little Whirlwind would definitely not grant him access.
Even if he transford into one of the lesser demons here, it was unlikely that he would get an audience with the Third King.
With this thought, Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Ganglie’s hiding spot and thought, "Idiot, you’ve finally beco completely useful!"
Pointing towards where Zhu Ganglie was hiding, Sun Wukong said, "Look over there!"
As Little Whirlwind turned to look, Sun Wukong brought his staff down, toppling him to the ground. Then, Sun Wukong put on Little Whirlwind’s clothes, took the waist token, and, with a hey and a laugh, transford into an exact duplicate of his opponent.
He turned Little Whirlwind’s body into flying ash. Climbing atop a large rock, Sun Wukong shouted, "Little Whirlwinds, co over here!"
At his call, there were imdiate responses from all around, and soon, forty Little Whirlwinds had gathered.
"Eh, why did you call us all here? What’s the situation?" one of the lesser demons asked Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong replied, "I’ve called you here because there’s good news! I’ve spotted Zhu Ganglie, but I can’t take him down alone, so I’ve summoned everyone to strike together!"
Upon hearing this, the lesser demons’ eyes lit up.
Their Third King had just put the word out to be extrely vigilant on the eastern front, to capture the fake Tang Monk’s entourage, and now they had stumbled upon them.
Only a fool would miss out on such a colossal opportunity.
Imdiately, a lesser demon exclaid, "What are we waiting for? Let’s hurry up and go!"
Sun Wukong chuckled and nodded, "Exactly!"
Then the group of lesser demons rushed towards Zhu Ganglie’s sleeping cave.
Zhu Ganglie was sound asleep when he suddenly heard noise at the entrance. Looking up, he saw a crowd of lesser demons surrounding him.
Instantly, Zhu Ganglie was incensed. He might be wary of the older demons, but these young runts didn’t intimidate him. He burst out angrily, "What brats dare disturb your Grandpa Zhu’s sleep!"
As he was about to grab his rake, a large foot kicked him squarely in the face.
Flipped over by the kick, Zhu Ganglie was shocked to his core, "Damn, do these young demons have such strength now? Comparable to Brother Monkey!"
Before he could react, the lesser demon was upon him, pinning him down. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break free. Instead, a group of lesser demons rushed forward and swiftly tied him up.
Then he saw the strongest-looking Little Whirlwind raise his hand and, with great satisfaction, shouted, "Brothers, Zhu Ganglie has been captured, let’s go see the Third King!"
The horde of lesser demons chorused, "Let’s go!"
Afterward, the lesser demons carried Zhu Ganglie away on sticks, heading into the mountains.
Until now, Zhu Ganglie hadn’t grasped how suddenly these lesser demons had beco so fierce.
