I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

After a hard fight, Li Chen finally defeated the Inspiration King and the Spotted Mandarin Fish Lady. He quickly picked up the Luo Bei armor dropped by the Inspiration King and swam hard to shore, ready to rest and recuperate. He knew that the next challenge would be even more severe.

The boss of the Nine Dragons Palace is known as the Four-Headed Worm in Dream Westward Journey IV. While its abilities are relatively common, it has one truly daunting trait: three heads, equivalent to four lives! This undoubtedly adds significant difficulty to the fight.

Li Chen remembers this experience vividly. In their first real-life encounter, he was caught completely off guard and suffered a crushing defeat, having been decimated by the creature's health. However, this experience taught him a lesson. In their second encounter, Li Chen shifted strategy, circling behind the four-headed worm and severing all its heads in one fell swoop. Finally, he triumphed over the formidable foe and obtained Luo Bei's weapon.

Now, facing this powerful boss, possessing nearly four lives, Li Chen couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless. After all, this was a game world, yet it wasn't. Everything was uncertain, and no one could predict the astonishing power of this four-headed worm. Facing such a formidable foe, Li Chen would have to give his all, unleashing every trick in his toolbox, to have a chance of victory.

Besides this powerful and formidable four-headed worm, the Nine Dragons Palace also hides an even more challenging challenge: the challenge of the boss, Millennium Ice. And within this icy layer of ice, even the Golden-Haired Roar, Guanyin Bodhisattva's mount, is sealed!

The Golden-haired Howler is a bizarre beast from ancient times, resembling a dog but far taller and more powerful. Extremely ferocious, it not only feeds on humans but also frequently engages in fierce battles with dragons. Legend has it that this mythical beast possesses terrifying power capable of rivaling that of the gods, having cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

In Dream Westward Journey IV, the Golden Haired Roar demonstrated unparalleled power during the closed beta, leaving players stunned. It can open its maw and unleash a stream of scorching flames, like a ferocious fire dragon, sweeping towards its enemies with bared fangs and claws. Furthermore, it can summon a massive flaming meteorite, like divine punishment, to smash down upon its opponents with devastating force! Facing such a ferocious foe, players must fight tooth and nail for a chance of victory.

After defeating him, you can subdue him and use him as your mount, which will be a powerful weapon for you to fight against Zhurong, the ancestor of fire, and Houtu, the ancestor of earth!

It's undeniable that the Nine Dragon Palace level is fraught with numerous variables and uncertainties. In Li Chen's memory, the original Journey to the West didn't feature a monster like the Four-Headed Insect, but there was an even more terrifying creature: the Nine-Headed Insect! Back then, it took the combined efforts of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Erlang Shen, and the Six Saints of Meishan to annihilate this powerful evil.

Finally, while being hunted by Sun Wukong and his companions, he had one of his heads bitten off by Howling Sky Dog. In Dream Journey to the West IV, it is mentioned that he, in revenge for the loss of one head, intercepted and killed Tang Sanzang and his disciples at the Nine Dragons Palace! It is highly likely that the Nine-Headed Insect is involved here.

Now that Li Chen was here, facing an unknown challenge, it was understandable to prepare more. However, once the real battle arrived, the enemy would not give him any breathing space or opportunity to prepare. If he mishandled the situation, the consequences would be disastrous! Although Li Chen held 90 Resurrection Pills, these precious elixirs were reserved for dealing with later bosses. How could he use them lightly? It was still early, and Li Chen didn't want to use them all now, otherwise he would have nothing to use later!

"System, is the boss guarding the Nine Dragon Palace a Nine-Headed Insect or a Four-Headed Insect?" Li Chen frowned, pondering for a long time, but still couldn't get a clear answer. He knew that facing such a powerful enemy, if he didn't fully understand its details, it would be difficult to defeat it.

So, after careful consideration, Li Chen decided to seek help from the system, hoping to get more information about this boss. Only in this way could he formulate a more detailed and effective response strategy based on the actual situation.

"Host, the boss guarding the Nine Dragon Palace is undoubtedly the Nine-Headed Insect! This monster has nine heads, which is equivalent to nine lives! However, as long as you can successfully cut off eight of its heads, it will not be able to resurrect again. But one thing you must remember is that when fighting with it, you must be careful and cautious, and you must not be hit or even bitten by the attacks from the other heads! Because the teeth of this Nine-Headed Insect are highly poisonous! If you are not careful and get contaminated, the consequences will be disastrous!" The system described in detail to Li Chen in a serious tone the terrifying existence stationed in the Nine Dragon Palace - the Nine-Headed Insect.

After a detailed analysis, Li Chen discovered that the Nine-Headed Insect's razor-sharp, highly poisonous teeth weren't actually a threat. After all, he'd taken the miraculous poison-repellent elixir—the Poison-Repellent Pill—that protected him from all poisons. However, a bite from the Nine-Headed Insect would be excruciating. Furthermore, the thorny issue was that while Li Chen and the Nine-Headed Insect were engaged in a fierce battle, its remaining eight heads would simultaneously launch a ferocious attack! This battle would be like facing nine consecutive, impenetrable, and surging attacks from the Nine-Headed Insect. Therefore, the key to this battle lay in how to lop off all of the Nine-Headed Insect's heads in one fell swoop!

That's right! Use the Soul Annihilation Axe and the Golden Axe to chop off all nine of this guy's heads! Turn this abominable nine-headed insect into a headless worm!

Next up is the Golden-Haired Rooster. In Dream Journey to the West IV, after players successfully break through the thousand-year-old ice, they face the powerful boss, the Golden-Haired Rooster, the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Although the reason is still unclear, has the Golden Haired Tiger also been corrupted by the Water Ancestral Witch? If, in the heat of battle, the Golden Haired Tiger suddenly and without warning uses some unprecedented skills, then Li Chen will surely fall into great trouble again!

"Host, don't worry! When the Water Witch attacked, Golden Haired Tiger fought side by side with Guanyin Bodhisattva, swearing to fight to the death against the Water Witch and his followers. Unfortunately, he was eventually ambushed by the Inspiration King and defeated along with Guanyin Bodhisattva. He was then sealed here by the Water Witch! However, as long as the host has the ability to break the thousand-year-old ice seal, he will surely become a powerful aid in the host's conquest of the Water Witch!"

After listening to the system's detailed and patient explanation, Li Chen finally felt relieved. He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with determination, as if he was ready to face any challenge. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, officially heading towards the mysterious and unknown Nine Dragon Palace!
