43 -43: The Monkey in a Dire Situation

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen looked perplexed and asked, “What do you mean by that, friend?”

He was quite confused about how the phrase could indicate his origins. frёewebηovel.cѳm

“Alas!” Yun Yangzi sighed heavily before saying, “Friend, you may not know.

The Demon Clan in this area has been rampant, and not just for a day or two.”

“Not only are the demons in this area like this, but it can also be said that all the demon clans except for the Nanbuzhan Continent are extremely arrogant.”

“Eating humans, for them, is just the norm.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen furrowed his brows.

He had an inkling of what was happening.

Since ancient times, the Nanbuzhan Continent has been the stronghold of the Human Race.

Even before the Prehistoric World was shattered, humans had already been living on this land.

Over the endless years, countless human experts had been born on this land.

Even the supreme powerhouses of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns of the Human Race had obtained their Dao here.

With so many human experts protecting it, which foolish foreign race would dare to stir up trouble in the Nanbuzhan Continent?

Isn’t that seeking death?

Therefore, the Nanbuzhan Continent regarded humans as supreme, and foreign races dared not act recklessly here.

But it was different outside the Nanbuzhan Continent.

The Xiniuhe Continent was the stronghold of Buddhism, Dongsheng Divine Continent was the stronghold of Daoism, and Beijulu Continent was a mixture of all kinds of powers.

The forces in these places are all very powerful and don’t take the Human Race seriously.

As a result, one can imagine the plight of the humans living in these areas.

They were certainly not as comfortable as the humans on the Nanbuzhan Continent!

Jiang Chen had underestimated the situation.

Living in the Nanbuzhan Continent, where he often saw humans oppressing the Demon Clan, he thought it was the same across the world.

But who would have thought that once outside the Nanbuzhan Continent, the situation is completely reversed?

The Human Race is just not strong enough!

At this moment, after understanding the truth, Jiang Chen did not reflect on his ignorance but instead blamed the Human Race for not being strong enough.

It made sense.

If the Human Race were strong enough, how could the Demon Clan dare to behave this way?

Why would the sphere of influence of the Human Race only shrink to the Nanbuzhan Continent?

It should be ruling the entire heaven and earth.

Alas, this is the time for young men like Jiang Chen to rise and lead the Human Race to glory.

…

……

After his reverie, Jiang Chen finally asked the pivotal question, “If the Demon Clan is so arrogant, why are you friends tolerating them?

Are you not resisting?”

Jiang Chen, not daring to belittle his peers, purposely phrased his inquiry delicately.

If not, his original words might be something like, ‘Are you all useless?

The Demon Clan kills humans, and you won’t resist?

Fight back!’

Shaking his head, Yun Yangzi said with some helplessness, “How could there not be resistance?

Almost every ten or so years, the Human Race has a major battle with the Demon Clan in an attempt to suppress the Demon Clan’s arrogance.”

“But alas, it is useless.”

“Unless we can exterminate all the Demon Clan in one fell swoop, otherwise, no matter how many of them we kill, it won’t stop them from eating humans.”

Upon hearing Yun Yangzi’s account, Jiang Chen pondered and agreed that stopping the Demon Clan from eating humans was very difficult.

Even in the Nanbuzhan Continent, the ban on the Demon Clan eating humans was often ignored, let alone in such a chaotic place as the Eastern Sea.

The root of the problem is that mortals are too weak and have no power to resist the Demon Clan.

Otherwise, it would not be demons eating humans, but humans eating demons.

“Alas!”

“Hard times indeed!”

“I never thought that outside the Nanbuzhan Continent, the situation of our Human Race would be so difficult.

We are just not strong enough.”

With a sigh, Jiang Chen said to Yun Yangzi.

“Yes, we are too weak.

We are nowhere near as powerful as our predecessors.

Otherwise, how could the Demon Clan act so wildly?” Yun Yangzi nodded in deep agreement.

Imagine the glory of the Human Race in ancient times, when countless Ancient Martial Artists were invincible in the world, suppressing all races of Heaven and Earth.

Even the Great Divine Transcendents did not dare to provoke the Human Race, let alone the Demon Clan.

Ancient Martial Artists, who were they?

They were a group of incredibly powerful madmen with not much time left to live.

Provoking them was distressing, even for saints.

For this reason, no one dared to provoke the Human Race.

Unfortunately, with the decline of Ancient Martial Arts, the power of the Human Race has fallen and has not been able to suppress all the races of Heaven and Earth as it did in the past.

…

After reminiscing with Yun Yangzi and expressing their aspirations, Jiang Chen helped him settle the local people and then said his goodbyes.

After all, he had not forgotten the purpose of his visit was to see Huaguo Mountain.

As for helping the Human Race of the Eastern Sea to escape from the invasion of the Demon Clan, Jiang Chen indeed wanted to do it.

But he also wanted to become a saint overnight.

Could he do it?

One should only do what they are capable of.

Helping the Eastern Sea Human Race against the Demon Clan is something even the Human Emperor could not resolve, let alone Jiang Chen.

As for this matter, they would wait until he had grown stronger in the future, and then consider it.

…

It is recorded in the original Journey to the West that during Sun Wukong’s journey to obtain the sutras, hunters had entered Huaguo Mountain to hunt monkeys.

From this, it can be inferred that Huaguo Mountain was not far from the Aolai Nation.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be mortals entering it.

Therefore, after wandering around Aolai Nation for a few days, Jiang Chen found Huaguo Mountain.

Not having seen Huaguo Mountain before, how did Jiang Chen confirm that the mountain he found was indeed Huaguo Mountain?

Naturally, it was due to the fame of Huaguo Mountain.

Known as the ‘ancestor vein of the ten continents’ and the ‘dragon vein of the three islands’, it was also home to many monkeys.

If both these conditions were met, it was almost certain that this was it.

…

Descended from the clouds, Jiang Chen landed on Huaguo Mountain from mid-air.

As soon as he touched the ground, he sensed a distinct difference.

The spiritual energy here was more than ten times richer than in the outside world, and there was even a hint of innate spiritual energy.

This alone makes it truly deserving of the name ‘treasure land’.

No wonder it could nurture a supernatural being like Sun Wukong.

Continuing deeper into the mountain, it wasn’t long before Jiang Chen saw several monkeys.

Normally, seeing monkeys on Huaguo Mountain isn’t a noteworthy event.

After all, Huaguo Mountain is known for its abundance of monkeys.

In this place, it is normal to see monkeys.

It would be abnormal not to see them.

However, these monkeys were a bit different – their conditions were particularly tragic, which attracted Jiang Chen’s attention.

One could see that the bodies of these monkeys were covered with injuries of varying sizes, some revealing flesh and bone.

Fresh, crimson blood flowed from these wounds, making the monkeys’ bodies bloodied, which was exceptionally gruesome.

“Run!”

“Hide quickly.”

“Don’t let them catch up.”

The panicked cries came from the mouths of these monkeys, showing that they were trying to escape from something.

The fact that they could talk indicated that these monkeys had at least reached the Innate Realm.

Jiang Chen counted and saw that there were a total of six monkeys appearing before his eyes.
