Black Myth: Journey to the West: Simulate becoming an immortal!

Chapter 13: Feasting Guests
[My name is Chen Xi. When you see this sentence, I am already dead.]

【Eight hundred miles of hell on earth made me realize the reality.】

【But I didn’t give up, instead I decided to fight for my life! 】

[So I started to think about why I was able to see thousands of miles away and hear flies with one ear.]

[All these miraculous things seem to have come from the few pounds of demon meat I ate.]

【Not seeing makes my eyes see thousands of miles away, not hearing makes my ears hear in all directions. 】

[This makes me wonder, if I can eat more demons' flesh and blood, can I gain more magical powers? ]

[The only pity is that Bu Yan Tang was eaten up by the Buddha who broke his precepts. ]

[If not, maybe I can gain magical powers again.]

When Chen Xi saw this, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the human skin paper.

Yes! If he had more magical powers, even if there were demons everywhere, he might be able to find a way to survive!
It doesn’t matter whether there are gods and Buddhas in this world or not.

Even if there are no gods or Buddhas, and demons are everywhere, does that mean he will not live?

No! Even if he was the only one in this world, he would try his best to live on.

If there is no God or Buddha, then he himself is the God or Buddha!

It is better to rely on yourself than on others. At least he has walked out of the ruined temple alive.

What's more, Chen Xi is not without any support. He also has human parchment and supernatural powers that are like those of gods and Buddhas!
Thinking of this, Chen Xi's mind gradually calmed down from the eight hundred miles of purgatory on earth.

However, the words that emerged from the human skin paper poured cold water on him.

[Just when I was delighted by this, I was shocked to find that using magical powers is not without cost]

[Every time I use my magical powers, my mouth becomes dry, I become extremely hungry and thirsty, and I am almost dehydrated.]

[I think this may be closely related to the three monks' extreme fear of water.]

[Fortunately, the demon's blood had not yet dried, which somewhat relieved my urgent need.]

[However, these supplements are only a drop in the bucket for the body's intense thirst. ]

[This made me realize that I had to find sufficient water as soon as possible.]

【At this moment, I remembered the story of the three monks. 】

[Since the demons once said that they carry water to survive, is there a well here? ]

[With this thought in mind, I walked out of the ruined temple and looked for water. ]

[After wandering around, I came to the foot of the mountain and saw an ancient well. ]

[Before I even got close, I heard a voice coming from inside.]

【“Little monk, come here, come here quickly.”】

[I was alert and stood still, looking around, but found no one around.]

So I asked, "Why are you calling me? Why are you calling me little monk?"

[Then the voice in the well answered: "I saw you coming up the mountain, with Buddha's light on your body, you must be a monk."]

[“You are lucky today, little demon. I am hosting a banquet in the well. Come and enjoy the feast!”]

[When I heard this, I immediately realized that the demon in the well must have mistaken him for a demon.]

[So, I played along and asked, "How can we have a banquet in such a small well?"]

[“Even if you host a banquet, what can you serve?”]

[The demon in the well laughed loudly upon hearing this! ]

[“My well is very big, it is square and round, and there is a different world inside.”]

[“There are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and the table is full of fragrant meat, all of which are top-quality monster meat!”]

When Chen Xi saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that he would encounter a monster when he went out to find water.

What he didn't expect was that the demon in the well actually mistook him for a demon?

Chen Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My current appearance is not much different from these monsters."

Covered in blood, with a bloody lotus on his forehead, it was understandable that the demon would admit his mistake.

However, this demon's motives are not pure, there must be something fishy going on!
Chen Xi thought so, and with a thought, he focused his attention on the human skin paper again. [Faced with the demon's cordial invitation, I became even more vigilant, and refused without even thinking.]

[“The host has a great banquet for guests, but unfortunately I have something to do today, so I won’t bother you.”]

[After these words were spoken, the demon in the well became angry and said, "I invited you with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."]

[“Since you don’t want to join us at the banquet, then you can become the delicacy on our table!”]

[My face changed when I saw this. I obviously didn't expect that this demon would change his expression so quickly. He is so moody! ]

[Before I could react, a long scarlet tongue emerged from the well and pulled me in.]

[When I came to my senses again, I found myself on the dining table. ]

[There are demons sitting all around, and when you look closely, you can see that most of them are rotten fish and shrimp. ]

[After all this time, it turns out to be a seafood dinner! ]

[I flew into a rage, kicked over the table, and started a life-and-death struggle with the demon.]

[What surprised me was that these demons were all very weak. Compared with the three demons in the ruined temple, they were not even that strong.]

[Just when I thought I had the upper hand, a toad jumped out! ]

[Then, a long, sticky, scarlet tongue entangled my limbs tightly, and I couldn't move.]

[The demons took the opportunity to rush over, ripped me open, peeled off my flesh, dug out my heart, and ate them.]

"It turns out that the demon in the well is a toad"

When Chen Xi saw that he died again, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

But judging from this death prophecy, these demons in the well don’t seem to be that powerful.

Even he, a mortal, can fight back a bit.

If it weren't for the toad at the end, he might not have died.

And that toad didn't seem to be very powerful; it just relied on its tongue to act so violently.

When Chen Xi thought of this, his heart couldn't help but move.

What he needs now is the flesh and blood of demons to verify his guess about whether his supernatural powers came from demons.

These rotten fish and shrimps in the well are so weak, aren't they just the perfect targets for him?

Now the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. He also has the prophecy of death on parchment paper. It may be possible for him to catch these demons in one fell swoop.

If he could gain some magical powers, he would have a better chance of survival in this chaotic world where demons are rampant.

Moreover, he was very short of water now, and there happened to be water in the well, which he could use to display his magical powers in the future!

Thinking of this, Chen Xi staggered to his feet and brushed off the dust on his body.

"Well, I've already been through the ruined temple, so why should I be afraid of a frog in a well?"

"This time I'm not only going to get water, but I'm also going to eat a lot of meat!"

He bent down, scooped up a few mouthfuls of the demon's blood, and drank it happily.

Because he had only used his magical power once before, the feeling of hunger and thirst was not serious.

After drinking a large amount of the demon's blood, the slight discomfort was swept away.

Then, Chen Xi stepped out of the temple gate and strode down the mountain!

Along the way, there are scattered blue bricks paving the road and overgrown weeds.

The ground was covered with dead branches and rotten leaves, which made a crackling sound when stepped on.

About half an hour later, Chen Xi finally saw an ancient well at the foot of the mountain.

The ancient well is built with blue bricks, and moss is spread in the gaps between the bricks.

There were gusts of evil wind all around, and a faint, unpleasant smell of blood.

“It looks like this is it.”

When Chen Xisi came to this point, he stepped closer without hesitation.

Before any movement was heard in the well, Chen Xi took the initiative, bowed, and spoke loudly!
"I am Chen Xi, a monk in the temple. I heard that the master of the well is hosting a banquet, so I came to attend it!"
