I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Finally arrived here...Wanfo Chaoge, the lair of the Earth Ancestral Witch!"

Li Chen thought to himself, "I've waited too long for this moment!"

Hou Tu, the Earth Ancestral Witch, is a powerful boss who has brought countless challenges and troubles to players. Now, Li Chen finally stands before her, ready to face this life-and-death battle.

Li Chen's thoughts once again returned to the time when he challenged the Earth Ancestral Witch. Back then, he was still a novice, full of curiosity and longing for the gaming world. Every time he faced the Earth Ancestral Witch, he would feel extremely nervous and excited.

However, over time, Li Chen gradually grew into a seasoned player. He learned how to cope with various difficulties and challenges, constantly improving his strength and skills. Now, he once again arrived at the territory of the Earth Ancestral Witch, full of confidence and determination.

Hou Tu, the ancestor of earth, sounded mysterious and majestic. But Li Chen knew she wasn't invincible. As long as he played to his best and applied the skills and strategies he had learned, he would surely defeat her.

Li Chen took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset. He told himself to stay calm and focused, not letting his emotions affect the battle. Then, he took a firm step and walked towards the Earth Ancestral Witch.

I don’t know if Hou Tu, the ancestor of earth, offended the official game developers of Dream Journey to the West, because her appearance is really ugly!

The once-beautiful Mother Earth was transformed by the Dream Makers into an ugly, fat mountain demon, Bogang! Rumor has it among players that she's the Emperor's wife, but who knows what the Emperor's tastes are. Li Chen thinks he must be starving to be able to eat this!

The Earth Ancestral Witch is truly unique among the twelve Ancestral Witches in the game. He possesses nearly three distinct forms and three completely independent health bars! During the closed beta of Dream Westward Journey IV, the Earth Ancestral Witch was the final boss!

The first form of the Earth Witch summons two sinister stone guardians to attack the player. These two stone guardians not only jump and attack, but also punch and grab. The most annoying of these is their grabbing ability: when one stone guardian grabs the player, the other will seize the opportunity to attack, putting immense pressure on the player.

However, the most annoying thing at the time was the chain grabbing of the two stone guards. That is, after one stone guard finished grabbing, the other stone guard would grab it next, making the player suffer damage and fall into a controlled situation.

After defeating the stone guardians, the Earth Witch enters its second phase. During this phase, the Earth Witch summons small, mobile sand whirlwinds, as well as sudden whirlwinds that target the player's position. These whirlwinds are powerful, but players can avoid them by remaining vigilant and maneuvering.

However, if the player manages to defeat the Earth Witch's second form, the third form awaits—and it's the most challenging! In this form, the Earth Witch reveals its true form and simultaneously summons two spiked earth walls. These walls slowly move toward the player, continuously shooting out high-damage earth spikes.

For characters who lack the ability to move, fighting the Earth Witch will become extremely difficult. To make matters worse, the Earth Witch will cast a spell, extending mud-like hands from the ground to restrain the player's movements, further increasing the difficulty of the battle.

"I wonder how powerful the Earth Ancestral Witch will be here!"

Li Chen thought to himself, "When I was playing games in the real world before, I could beat her even if I was alone. Now, with so many of us together, how could we lose to a mere Earth Witch?" He thought confidently, and then resolutely pushed open the tightly closed door of the Wanfo Pavilion.

As the door opened, a parade of solemn and majestic Buddha statues appeared before him. They varied in form: some had ferocious faces that frightened people, others were majestic and awe-inspiring, still others exuded an aura of justice that gave people a sense of security, and still others had terrifying faces, fangs bared, as if ready to devour anyone.

Suddenly, an angry shout was heard: "Who are you? How dare you break into the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pavilion! Don't you know that this is the resting place of the Lord Earth Witch?" Li Chen looked carefully and saw a group of mighty and majestic stone guards blocking their way.

Li Chen's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment as he watched the scene unfold. Aren't these stone statues the guardians of the first form of the Earth Ancestral Shaman? How could they appear here, blocking the way? But time was running out, and Li Chen and his companions had no time to dwell on it, as the stone statues charged at them like hungry tigers.

One of the stone statue guards opened his arms, trying to grab Li Chen. Li Chen flashed, leaped into the air, and completed a gorgeous somersault in the air, cleverly avoiding the stone statue guard's attack and landing steadily on the ground.

"You idiots, you still want to catch me? It's still 20,000 years too early!" Li Chen raised his lips and sneered at the stone statues guarding him. However, just as he was secretly rejoicing, the ground under his feet suddenly became soft.

Li Chen was startled, panicking as he realized his body was rapidly sliding down in a certain direction uncontrollably. He looked closely and saw that the direction was actually an unfathomable quicksand pit!

Li Chen suddenly felt a chill. He knew that once his body slipped into the depths of this quicksand pit, he would be swallowed up by the merciless quicksand.

Li Chen was terrified and tried to jump up, but at that moment, a stone statue guarding the ground also jumped into the quicksand cave. It grabbed Li Chen tightly with its strong hands, as if to drag Li Chen into the abyss of the quicksand cave.

"Owner!"

Fairy Hibiscus was horrified, realizing the situation was critical. These stone guards were originally demons empowered by the Earth Ancestral Witch.

In other words, they are made of mud. Even if they fall into the quicksand, it will not cause much impact on them. However, Li Chen is different. If he stays in the quicksand for too long, he may face life-threatening danger!

Now the hand of the stone statue guard has tightly grasped Li Chen's body. Li Chen wants to use his 72 transformations to make his body bigger and break free from his hand, but unexpectedly his hand also grows bigger. Li Chen wants to shrink, but his hand also shrinks!

"No!"

Everyone roared in unison. They saw with their own eyes that Li Chen's body and the stone guard were slowly buried in the bottomless quicksand pit.
