I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Since bidding farewell to the Four Sea Dragon Kings that day, Li Chen and his companions have once again embarked on a perilous journey – to defeat the dreaded Twelve Ancestral Witches. However, this journey was noticeably easier than the previous ones.

Back then, Li Chen and his companions had endured hardships along the way, but now the situation was different. This was because when they left, the Four Seas Dragon King generously gifted them with a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry.

At this moment, all these precious treasures were firmly in the hands of the sisters Ao Xue and Ao Shuang, and naturally fell into the pockets of Li Chen and his group. In this way, they could finally enjoy a prosperous life and no longer have to endure the hardship of the past.

During their long journey, whenever night fell, Li Chen and his companions would choose to stay in a comfortable inn to recover their energy. However, on such nights, some unpleasant things happened.

Seeing that Li Chen and his group were carrying a large amount of money, some lawless people became greedy and attempted to rob them. However, these guys were obviously unaware of the strength of Li Chen and his group, and had no idea what a powerful opponent they were about to face.

Every time he encountered such a situation, Li Chen was always merciless. For him, dealing with these petty thieves was a piece of cake. To be frank, these bandits who were intent on robbing money and raping women were not even as powerful as General Yin, whom Li Chen had defeated when he first arrived in this world!

Therefore, there are usually only two endings: either they are killed on the spot by Li Chen and his group and disappear from the world; or after seeing how powerful Li Chen and his group are, they are scared to death, repent, and swear never to do evil again.

In fact, there is a third possible ending for these people, that is, pretending to reform at first, and then launching a sneak attack on Li Chen and his group when Li Chen and his group relax their vigilance, but there is only one result, that is, being killed by Li Chen.

After all, mortal weapons couldn't harm Li Chen, who possessed a divine body. You have to know that Li Chen wasn't one of those false gods. If a god could be harmed by mortal weapons, what kind of god would he even be? Even the Earth God could easily withstand mortal weapons! And what about Li Chen, who possessed the power of the seven great witch ancestors?

Li Chen and his companions continued their journey for several days. Whenever night fell, they would seek a suitable place to rest. That evening, they arrived at a lush, deep forest. The trees here towered into the sky, their branches intertwined, forming a natural barrier.

After a lot of concerted efforts, they successfully built a small and exquisite wooden house. Although the house was not big, it was enough to accommodate everyone.

When the cabin was completed, Li Chen waved his hands gently, unleashing a magical power. Instantly, a warm current spread throughout the cabin, making it as warm as spring, a stark contrast to the cold outside.

Although the cabin's exterior was unremarkable and even somewhat shabby, its interior was filled with warmth and comfort. This warmth and comfort was due to Li Chen's powerful magical powers. Everyone inside felt an unprecedented sense of security and comfort.

In the center of the cabin was a large wooden bed, perfect for Li Chen, Fairy Hibiscus, and the others to engage in a fierce battle. Next to the bed was a large fireplace burning charcoal. This fireplace could not only provide warmth but also be used to grill food.

"This atmosphere is so great! I never thought that we could shelter from the wind and rain in such a small wooden house, and it's so warm!" Ao Xue danced with excitement, and her beautiful face was filled with an incomparably happy smile at this moment.

You know, in the long years that she had been the third princess of the East China Sea Dragon King, there were very few opportunities like this to build a house by herself and experience ordinary life.

At this time, Li Chen smiled and asked, "Okay! Dear friends, what do you want to eat?" After that, he couldn't wait to take out those rare and delicious foods from the system mall and feast on them with everyone.

"Brother Li Chen, how about we try something different? I want to experience the taste of hunting barbecue!"

Ao Shuang pleaded, she wanted very much to experience what hunting felt like. After all, hunting required her to live and cook for herself, and she could also catch some precious wild animals to help improve her cultivation.

(I fully comply with the Wildlife Protection Law of the People's Republic of China. The hunting plot is purely fictional. Please do not imitate it in real life. Protecting wildlife is protecting the Earth!)

"hunt?!"

When Li Chen heard this word, his eyes widened instantly, and his face showed extreme shock. You know, in the era when he lived, hunting was strictly prohibited!

It's not because of guns and ammunition, but because the animal species on the earth are numerous and fragile, and hunting will undoubtedly cause serious man-made damage to the earth's biodiversity.

However, Li Chen was not the kind of person who would be easily immersed in surprise. Not long after, he quickly woke up from his shock and began to think about the current situation.

Although the environment he is in now seems to be very different from the past, and there may not be clear laws and regulations to protect wild animals here, Li Chen always believes that everything should be done in moderation and should not be overdone.

He turned to face the crowd and said solemnly, "Alright, let's go hunting now! But remember, everyone, we must capture a few strong beasts! But also, remember, only capture adult males. Never target young animals, and definitely don't touch pregnant females! And, one more crucial point: never use poison when hunting!"

Li Chen's tone was firm and serious, resonating like the mighty sound of a huge bell, as if every word he uttered was an inviolable heavenly commandment. His resounding words, imbued with an unquestionable majesty and power, instilled awe in the hearts of the people.

Li Chen's resoluteness stems from his deep understanding of the importance of maintaining harmony and stable development in nature. In his mind, hunting isn't simply about satisfying appetite or profit; it's about adhering to a series of crucial principles. These principles concern not only the survival rights of prey but also the balance and prosperity of the entire ecosystem.

"Understood!" the women responded in unison, their voices clear and melodious, like the sound of a yellow oriole leaving a valley. Then, like arrows shot from a bow, they dispersed in different directions, each seeking a suitable prey. Their movements were nimble and agile, like a group of ethereal fairies darting through the forest.

However, what surprised everyone was that the vast forest was unusually quiet at this moment, with no signs of wild animals. Even the most common hares were nowhere to be seen, as if they had already anticipated the danger and had hidden themselves away.
