Da Pan felt he could still salvage the situation.
After thinking for a bit, he looked up and wanted to try and persuade Su Li.
But just as he opened his mouth to speak, he realized that the one who shouldn’t be called Little Monkey, but rather Little Dog, the Monkey King, had disappeared.
The cave seed spacious, but in reality, you could see to the end at a glance.
He was standing not far from the entrance of the cave—had anyone or any animal co in or out, wouldn’t he have sensed it?
However, what was strange was that he had not heard the sound of Little Monkey walking by him; his ears and eyes were not just for show.
Besides, with Little Monkey’s large fra, it was impossible for anyone to overlook him.
But the fact was that it had just vanished into thin air.
Thinking of this, Da Pan’s whole body broke out in goosebumps.
He couldn’t help but think of the many spirit tales—could it be...
Da Pan wanted to urgently share his terrifying discovery but noticed that Su Li and Xue Guo were both remarkably calm.
Da Pan said with a trembling voice, "Do you... Do you guys really not sense anything wrong?"
Just as he spoke, a thunderous boom sounded from outside, accompanied by a massive lightning bolt that heightened the atmosphere to its peak for Da Pan.
A grown man was so scared his whole body shook—how ludicrous it was.
Xue Guo was taken aback by Da Pan’s odd behavior and said matter-of-factly, "The Monkey King has its own place to live; it won’t crowd us."
Da Pan stamred, "Then, where... where did it go?"
Xue Guo replied, "It went ho."
Da Pan was beside himself with anxiety, "The question is, how did it get back, and where did it go?"
Xue Guo, now sowhat impatient with Da Pan’s questions, responded, "How else? It walked back. Monkeys don’t have wings. Did you expect it to fly ho?"
Su Li, having admired the rapidly changing expressions on Da Pan’s face for a while, finally decided to stop teasing him.
"Little Monkey left through another stone gate. I thought you knew that."
Su Li pointed into the cave, where indeed, in a very concealed spot, a stone gate had been smashed open; on closer inspection, one could even see clear human-made marks.
Da Pan: "...."
He genuinely did not know about this, and in fact, Xue Guo, who appeared very composed on the surface, only learned about this hidden door after watching Little Monkey suddenly vanish behind the stone gate.
When she saw that scene, her heart quivered too.
But after seeing Su Li’s composed deanor, her heart unwittingly settled down.
She had a strong intuition that as long as she stayed close to Su Li, she would be absolutely safe.
Her own strong sixth sense had allowed her to avoid many crises in the entertainnt industry.
Otherwise, with her beauty and without any powerful backers or sponsors, how could she maintain her innocence and the last line of defense in that circle?
Da Pan cald his emotions, suddenly thought of sothing, and was about to speak.
Before he could begin, Su Li cut in.
"Little Monkey is indeed a good little brother, a human’s good friend—volunteering to selflessly go and rescue other trapped humans."
"This noble and admirable spirit is definitely sothing all of humanity should learn from."
"What is called repaying evil with good, this is repaying evil with good... when so think they are lesser beings, they still decide to help us without resentnt or regret."
"Upon witnessing this touching scene that moved people to tears, did you feel ashad? Did you feel disgraced? Did you feel embarrassed?"
....
Su Li started with an eloquently teasing monologue to praise Little Monkey extensively and then abstracted the deeper aning behind Little Monkey’s actions.
Her discourse was much like writing an essay in a language class: pose a question, prove the point, and draw a conclusion.....
The ultimate conclusion was: So people are even less righteous than a monkey.
As for Da Pan, who had previously considered monkeys as re beasts, his entire face burned with stinging pain.
He made a pleading gesture, quickly bowing three tis to Su Li, and said, "I beg you, madam, please stop talking, I realize my mistake...."
"My thoughts were incorrect, I’m even worse than a monkey...."
The live broadcast audience was watching the sa ’even worse than a monkey’ series..... of sha.
Although Su Li’s words were harsh, her heart wasn’t really considering the life and death of Lang Erping and the others.
To live is fate, to die is also fate.
At the end of the day, everything cos down to fate no matter what.
However, in actuality, Su Li wasn’t stingy with her words of assistance to others, provided it confird that her own subordinates were not in danger.
The subordinates she recognized were her responsibility, let alone that Little Monkey had done quite well, to her reasonable satisfaction, so naturally, she wouldn’t intentionally lead it into a crisis.
It was also just now, after Little Monkey had fully absorbed the Spiritual Energy Group given to it, that its Spiritual Wisdom experienced a certain rise.
Surprisingly, it managed to use gestures to communicate simply with her.
Little Monkey told Su Li about the existence of the stone gate, and that beyond the stone gate, there was an underground passage leading to various places.
Their entire monkey troop lived underground, and they would only co to the surface when the weather was good and food was scarce.
So the weather outside didn’t really affect them much.
After feeling around a bit, Su Li indeed discovered quite a few monkeys’ presence behind the stone gate.
This stone gate was quite special; had she not intentionally sensed for it, she wouldn’t have been able to detect its presence with her Divine Sense and spiritual power.
Although, in this small world due to the restrictions of the rules, she hadn’t cultivated much, and her spiritual power had been suppressed to just a bit better than an average person’s.
But her vast soul still allowed her to keenly sense abnormalities nearby.
Only here, it vaguely felt as though there was sothing on the stone gate that could block her spiritual power.
Yet it was a small world without gods or belief, and the occurrence of sothing beyond the ordinary was truly startling.
Su Li set aside her doubts for the mont, turned her head, and touched the stone gate, only then discovering that the seemingly smooth stone gate had fine engravings on it.
A very complex Array, which, to Su Li’s current level of expertise, she actually couldn’t discern its specific purpose.
It was just a faint clue.... probably used for isolating or sealing sothing....
She wasn’t too certain.
----------
anwhile, Lang Erping, Qin Qing, and the others couldn’t even maintain basic composure anymore.
The already flimsy shelter, once hit by strong winds, was completely blown away, not even sparing them a single straw.
Everyone quickly clung to the surrounding trees or lay on the ground grabbing onto sturdy protrusions, to avoid sharing the sa fate as the shelter.
The torrential rain that followed not only soaked them like drowned rats but also drenched their spirits with bone-chilling coldness.
Under the pressure of survival, all sches, all considerations of poise, all concerns for popularity and reputation.... turned out to be utterly worthless.
