I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

When fighting evil spirits in the Dream Westward Journey III game, players will remove their powerful equipment and magic weapons before the evil spirits appear. This is to prevent the evil spirits from copying the players' combat power after they appear, making the evil spirits more difficult to deal with.

However, this isn't a game, it's a real battle! If you remove your equipment during combat, you're practically courting death. The enemy will surely seize the opportunity to strike back, mercilessly attacking you.

Li Chen quickly explained to Fairy Hibiscus and the others, "Now we know how Master Tongtian created the fake Li Chen and the fake Fairy Hibiscus!"

Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that Li Chen had figured out what had created the fake Li Chen and the fake Hibiscus Fairy!

Li Chen continued, "This magic weapon is Yuanxie!"

"Yuanxie!"

When Fairy Furong, who had once served the Queen Mother, heard about Yuanxie's magic weapon, her face showed some fear, and it was obvious that she knew about this magic weapon.

She said with horror, "I once heard from the Queen Mother that this magical weapon can not only completely replicate the power of others, creating another independent evil mirror image. But even more terrible, it can also burn the life of the user to gain powerful strength! Because this treasure is too evil and can easily drive people astray, it was sealed by a powerful being from the Three Realms in ancient times."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, especially Fairy Hibiscus. She knew the power of this magic weapon, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful that it could perfectly replicate Li Chen's fighting ability.

At this moment, worry appeared on everyone's faces. After all, this magic weapon almost completely replicated the fighting power of Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus. Although Fairy Hibiscus's fighting power was not strong, the focus was on Li Chen. Moreover, the fake Li Chen had gone back to rest, which meant that he would soon recover and return to the battle.

"What can you do?"

Li Chen asked, "No matter how powerful this magic weapon is, it must have its weaknesses. For now, instead of continuing to think about how powerful this magic weapon is, it's better to think about how to defeat it!"

"With the master! We can use this method. What Yuanxie copied is your past self. But the current you can definitely create more powerful new moves to defeat the evil mirror image created by Yuanxie!"

The Fire Scorpion's reminder flashed through Li Chen's mind like a flash of lightning, instantly enlightening him. Yes, his past self would eventually be surpassed by his present and future self. All he needed to do was constantly innovate and do his utmost to defeat his enemies. That was what he should be doing!

"Fire-eating Poison Scorpion, you are so amazing! I will definitely reward you well later!"

Li Chen was so excited that he could hardly contain himself and said excitedly. Then, he saw the Hibiscus Fairy and the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion put on the clothes they had prepared in advance and walked towards him with a ruthless pace.

"You two shouldn't come here together!!!" Li Chen exclaimed, secretly complaining in his heart. It seems that he won't be able to rest well tonight!

Li Chen suddenly had an idea. He said, "We have to pick one person to keep watch at night. What if someone attacks us at night?"

"Li Chen, you communicate with the sisters. I'm going to keep watch!" Seeing this, the Jade Rabbit Fairy tactfully left the room quietly, leaving the space to the three of them.

"Jade Rabbit Fairy! You are such an ungrateful person!" Li Chen cursed angrily, but it was too late to stop her from leaving.

"Owner!"

"Master brother!"

"Just accept your fate!"

Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion looked at Li Chen with a wicked smile...

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Li Chen slowly opened his eyes, recalling the fierce battle last night. Fortunately, he had learned a special technique in advance. Without it, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed today. Just as he was about to get up, a system notification sounded in his ears:

"Congratulations, host! After last night's battle, the Fire Scorpion's favorability has increased to level three, and the bond skill has also been upgraded to level three! The bond skill effect has been upgraded to fire poison, with a maximum stacking of fifteen layers."

Hearing this news, Li Chen's face showed a satisfied smile. He knew that this meant that his strength had been further improved. He got up, put on his clothes, and then walked to the window. Looking at the scenery outside, he felt particularly happy.

At this moment, he noticed a map on the table, which marked the place they would attack next - Wutai Mountain Pass. According to the information on the map, the garrison here was the brother of the uncle of the Tathagata Buddha, and also the Buddha Mother Peacock King Bodhisattva!

Peacock, having harbored a deep hatred for Tathagata because her brother, Dapeng Jinchi, was imprisoned by him, fought a fierce battle with the Bodhisattva during the chaos of the prehistoric world, ultimately helping the Earth Witch successfully capture Mount Wutai. Furthermore, Peacock laid numerous traps at the entrance to Mount Wutai to prevent enemy intrusion.

Li Chen looked at the mark on the map, his eyes gleaming with determination. He knew the road ahead was full of challenges, but he was undaunted. He believed that with his own strength and wisdom, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and complete the mission.

He turned and left the room, entering the courtyard. Meanwhile, the Fire Scorpion and the Hibiscus Fairy had already prepared breakfast, awaiting his arrival. Seeing Li Chen emerge, they smiled and waved at him.

Li Chen quickly walked to the table, sat down, and began to enjoy his delicious breakfast. While eating, he exchanged ideas and plans with the Fire Scorpion and the Hibiscus Fairy. They discussed how to deal with the upcoming challenges and how to better utilize their respective strengths.

After discussion, the group decided to have the Jade Rabbit Fairy take charge of village security, protecting the villagers from demonic attacks. Li Chen, the Hibiscus Fairy, and the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion would attack Mount Wutai and eliminate the Earth Ancestral Witch.

After dinner, Li Chen led Fire Scorpion and Hibiscus Fairy on their journey to Mount Wutai. Along the way, they crossed mountains and rivers before finally arriving at the foot of Mount Wutai. Standing at the foot of the mountain, Li Chen looked up and saw Mount Wutai towering into the clouds, shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland. However, he knew that behind this beauty lay countless dangers and challenges.

Li Chen took a deep breath and then led the Fire Scorpion and the Hibiscus Fairy up the mountain path. As they were climbing up the mountain path, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. Li Chen and his group supported each other's shoulders to prevent anyone from falling.

Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the flat ground. From the cracks in the dry ground, countless demons and monsters made of mud began to crawl out, their fangs bared and claws snarling, terrifying and ferocious. Strange-looking birds flew in the air. In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Li Chen and his group.
