Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 25: The Great Sage of the Sea

"You are a demon, you don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. You dare to disobey the emperor's order and even have such a rebellious mind. You are really..."

At this point, the silver-armored, green-faced general stopped laughing, waved his halberd and said coldly, "How dare you!"

"Rules? Screw your rules!"

The black dragon opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar. Its thousand-foot-long body soared into the sky, and it grew huge claws that stirred up wind and rain as it tore towards the silver-armored, green-faced general.

"Hmph, Mo Jiao, God's grace is great, but you are so stubborn!"

"All heavenly soldiers, quickly wipe out the Mo Jiao Palace, and don't let any of them go! Today, I will set a rule for the monsters in the lower world!"

The silver-armored, green-faced general snorted coldly and gave an order. Then he jumped up from the chariot and slashed at the thousand-foot-long black dragon with the long spear in his hand.

Following the divine general's order, the hundreds of heavenly soldiers formed a formation and attacked the remaining dozens of dragons.

Xiao Chen and the Monkey King lay on the raft, not daring to move.

In the sky, clouds rolled, lightning and thunder roared, and the sound of weapons clashing resounded throughout the world.

After a while, a bolt of lightning over a hundred feet long cut through the sky like a sharp sword, illuminating the entire sea surface.

A shrill wail.

A blood-red rain began to fall from the sky.

A thousand-foot-long black dragon with a broken body fell into the sea, and its blood dyed the entire sea surface red.

Suddenly, Monkey King shouted, "Toad, Toad, look, there's a little dragon floating over here."

The monkey stretched out his hand, trying to catch the little dragon, but it was out of reach. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and jumped up and down.

Xiao Chen looked around and saw a small dragon, over ten feet long, floating over from the sea, motionless and looking like it was in a coma.

Xiao Chen glanced at the heavenly soldiers and generals in the distance, and saw that they were still fighting with the group of dragons and had not noticed this side. He gritted his teeth, stretched out his long tongue, and temporarily swallowed the dragon into his stomach. At the same time, he used all his strength to activate the Breath-Gathering Pearl to conceal his breath.

Upon seeing this, the Monkey King hurriedly paddled the raft and headed away.

Xiao Chen took one last look at the group of dragons and saw that they were clearly at a disadvantage. He was afraid that they were in great danger and could not help but sigh:
"This Mo Jiao is a good man, what a pity!"

After another cup of tea, the clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, and the sky returned to calm.

The silver-armored, green-faced general glanced at the bloody sea, retracted the body of the thousand-foot-long black dragon, led the heavenly soldiers, and disappeared into the sky.

After another half day, the Monkey King had rowed the raft very far away.

Xiao Chen spat out the little dragon from his stomach.

"Little dragon, little dragon?"

Xiao Chen walked forward, lifted up the little dragon, patted its head and shook it, but the little dragon did not move.

Xiao Chen checked the little dragon's breathing again. It was breathing, so it was still alive.

Suddenly, a familiar prompt sound was heard, and several lines of golden characters appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.

"Host, I have touched the C-level control magic weapon Fuhaizhu. This thing can control the water flow, turn the water into a river, overturn the river and the sea, and it also has the ability to hide in the water."

"Scan and copy?"

"The Sea-Covering Pearl? Isn't this the magic weapon of the Jiao Demon King?"

Xiao Chen was stunned, and then he realized that he had accidentally touched a blue bead hanging on the neck of the little dragon.

"I thought it was the effect of the Breath-Suppressing Pearl that was not discovered by these heavenly soldiers. I didn't expect it was the effect of the Sea-Covering Pearl. But, it could be a combination of both!"

"It seems that the little dragon that possesses the Sea-Covering Pearl should be the Dragon Demon King, the Great Sage Covering the Sea, one of Sun Wukong's seven brothers." Xiao Chen couldn't help but guess.

"Scan and copy, fuse the little finger of the right hand."

Xiao Chen ordered.

"Little dragon, little dragon?"

The Monkey King was an impatient man. Seeing that the little dragon didn't wake up after being called for a long time, he was so anxious that he pinched the little dragon's nose.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The little dragon finally woke up and turned into a black-faced boy with horns on his head.

His eyes were red, and he squatted on the raft, holding his head, covering his head, and said nothing.

No matter how the Monkey King teased him or tried to make him speak, he ignored him and just sat there blankly. This went on for several days.

It was time for Xiao Chen and the Monkey King to have dinner again. They were eating fish. The Monkey King shared some fish with him, but the little dragon ignored him and still looked dazed and lost.

"Hey, little dragon, your parents and clansmen must have put a lot of effort in getting you out of the encirclement of the heavenly soldiers and generals."

"You either take care of yourself and live well for them."

"Or, just accumulate your strength so that you can avenge them later!"

"You are a big male demon, how can you cry and wail every day like this, trying to commit suicide?"

Seeing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but scold angrily.

"Revenge... Revenge, I want to learn the skills to avenge them!"

After a long silence, as if he had finally found the direction, the black-faced boy gnashed his teeth and muttered. The black-faced boy clenched his fists, suddenly stood up with a "bang", ran over, snatched the fish that the Monkey King was chewing, and stuffed it into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

This gave the Monkey King a fright.

Xiao Chen smiled cheerfully. It was hard to imagine that this cute black-faced little boy in front of him would grow up to be the powerful and mighty Demon King of the Sea.

So, Xiao Chen couldn't help himself, he reached out his hand, touched the little horn on the black-faced boy's head, and comforted him:
"Little dragon, this is the right thing to do."

"Don't touch my head, you toad! And please call me by my name."

"My name is Mo Lang."

The black-faced boy pushed Xiao Chen's hand away, raised his head, and spoke seriously word by word with a stern face.

"Okay, Mo Lang, my name is Jin Jiao. You can call this dead monkey whatever you want."

Xiao Chen introduced.

"You stupid toad, what do you mean by just calling me whatever you want? My name is Monkey King!"

The Monkey King heard this and said angrily.

"Okay, monkey."

Mo Lang called out casually.

……

I drifted on the sea for another two or three years.

On this day, Monkey was playing Go with Mo Lang, and Xiao Chen was fishing.

There have been many benefits since Mo Lang came, the biggest of which is that he and the Monkey King no longer have to row the boat.

Mo Lang has a great skill in controlling water. With a wave of his hand, a wave in the sea will appear to drag the raft along. He is a natural boatman and sailor.

Exactly, they can row a boat without oars and hoist a sail without direction.

They relied on the waves to travel this distance.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. He looked at the familiar black lines and green shadows of trees on the beach and was extremely excited. He finally saw land!
Xiao Chen threw the fish, shrimps, and crabs he had just caught onto the raft, kicked them hard into the sea, and patted the monkey excitedly:
"Monkey, monkey, we're on the ground now. We don't need to eat fish today!"

I have been eating fish for three years, eating fish for three years, eating fish for three years!

Seeing this, Mo Lang waved his hand in pain, and a current appeared in the sea, rolling back the fish, shrimps and crabs.

Mo Lang took a bite of the crab with a crisp "crunch" and glared at Xiao Chen fiercely, wondering why this toad was so wasteful?

"What's wrong with fish? Is fish not delicious? He, Mo Lang, really likes to eat fish, the kind that he never gets tired of."

The monkey also jumped up, somersaulted several times on the raft, and clapped his hands excitedly:

"Okay, okay, monkey, I have peaches and bananas to eat."

The monkey scratched his ears and cheeks, and kept patting Mo Lang, urging him, "Mo Lang, Mo Lang, hurry up, monkey, I want to eat peaches."

"Hmph, look at me!"

Mo Lang waved his hand suddenly, and a huge wave dragged the raft forward rapidly. The raft flew into the sky with a "whoosh", fell from the sky, and crashed onto the beach with a "bang".

The raft that the three of them had been riding on for three years was now wrecked.

On the coast, dozens of people were fishing, hunting geese, digging clams and panning for salt.

The monkey carried Mo Lang on his back and ran over. The two of them grinned and made a scary and strange expression.

I saw a huge monkey carrying a boy with horns on his head.

"Monster, monster!"

Those people were so frightened that they dropped their baskets and nets and ran in all directions.

Monkey and Mo Lang ran over and captured two or three of those who couldn't run away. They stripped their clothes and put them on like other people, then threw another set to Xiao Chen.

"Monkey, don't say anything later. I'll just say we are monkey trainers."

Xiao Chen instructed the monkey, then he transformed into a human form and found a hat for Mo Lang to wear to cover the horns on his head.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen carried Mo Lang and the monkey and ran directly to the largest restaurant in the town.

"Waiter, if you have any good wine or food, just bring it up! Also, bring me this precious monkey, and a table of fruits and peaches. Don't worry about the price, just bring it up!"

"Also, no fish! No shrimp! No crab!"

Xiao Chen pulled a waiter over and gave instructions.

"Hey, hey, that guy, hurry up!"

But the monkey was impatient and couldn't help but urge him.

"There's a monster, a monster!"

The waiter was startled when he heard the monkey talking, and the dish he served fell to the ground.
