I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Fairy Hibiscus!!! No!!!"

Li Chen opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, looking at the scene in front of him, feeling so heartbroken that he almost suffocated.

The Hibiscus Fairy's body was pierced by a giant ice spike that fell from the sky. The scarlet blood instantly soaked the entire ice spike, which was shocking. However, this was only the beginning. More ice spikes fell like raindrops, mercilessly piercing her body.

Fairy Hibiscus let out a shrill scream that echoed throughout the entire space, making people shudder.

Everyone watched helplessly as the beautiful and charming body of the Hibiscus Fairy gradually dissipated under the piercing blows of countless icy spikes. Finally, as everyone ran further and further away, her figure disappeared into the completely collapsed Millennium Ice Cave. Their hearts were filled with grief and despair, and they all let out a heartbreaking cry in unison! Tears welled up in their eyes like a broken dam, blurring their vision.

Li Chen wanted to go back and save Fairy Hibiscus, but the power he had just used up almost all of Fairy Hibiscus's magical power. Now he could only watch helplessly as everything happened, unable to do anything! The Golden-haired Howler, who had been knocked away, successfully left the Millennium Ice Cave with Li Chen and the Snow Realm Divine Deer.

"What are you still standing there for? Dig it out for me!" Li Chen's eyes were red, and his voice was a little hoarse and trembling as he shouted at everyone.

Before he finished speaking, he rushed out first, throwing himself madly at the collapsed Millennium Ice Cave. He had only one thought in his mind: to rescue Fairy Furong! Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would never give up.

Just as Li Chen was frantically digging at the collapsed Millennium Ice Cave with his bare hands, trying to rescue the trapped Hibiscus Fairy, he suddenly felt something grabbing his clothes. He turned his head sharply and was shocked to find it was a Golden-haired Howler!

"Golden-haired Roar! What the hell do you want to do?!" Li Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a murderous intent. He glared at the Golden-haired Roar and roared. At this moment, the fate of Fairy Hibiscus was uncertain, and his heart was filled with endless anger and grief. After all, Fairy Hibiscus was not only his closest companion, but also his first love! They had been together through countless ups and downs, and had come this far.

"Mr. Li, please accept my condolences. Putuo Mountain is currently facing a major crisis, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is being sealed by the Water Witch! The Water Witch's subordinates may appear here at any time. I implore you to leave as soon as possible and find an opportunity to avenge Fairy Hibiscus!" The Golden Haired Tiger said anxiously, his tone revealing his concern for the situation.

Golden-Haired Howler calmly and seriously explained the current situation to Li Chen, expressing his hope that Li Chen could leave this dangerous place as soon as possible! Because at this moment, everyone, including him, was exhausted, their physical strength and magic power almost depleted. If they continued to stay here, what if the Water Ancestral Witch led his many demons to attack? In other words, even without the Water Ancestral Witch personally arriving, the group of small demons would be unable to resist with their current physical strength. In just a moment, Li Chen and the others would be easily wiped out!

After listening to Golden-Haired Hou's explanation, Li Chen's restless mood gradually calmed down. Golden-Haired Hou was absolutely right; this was indeed the dire situation they were facing. Let alone the arrival of the Water Ancestral Witch himself, even if there were only a pair of ordinary little demons before him, could he truly withstand them with his remaining strength? Even performing a move like Blazing Flash would be incredibly difficult!

However, if they chose to retreat, it would be tantamount to abandoning the Hibiscus Fairy and only caring about their own survival! But if they didn't retreat, everyone present might find it difficult to escape the fate of death! You know, during the entire prehistoric catastrophe, Tang Sanzang and his disciples had already died at the hands of Tongtian Sect Master. Now, it seems that the only hope to avert this catastrophe is only themselves!

Even more deadly, in the fierce battle just now, he had actually given his all, unreservedly using all his unique moves and special abilities, almost every skill exposed to the sharp, all-seeing eyes of the Water Ancestral Witch! So the question was, facing the life-and-death battle that was about to begin, did he still have a chance of victory? After all, with his physical strength exhausted and his moves completely mastered by the Water Ancestral Witch, victory was as difficult as climbing to the sky!

"Host, host! I called you several times in a row just now. Are you deaf? Or do you simply not understand what people say? Retreat quickly!" The system's anxious voice suddenly came from the depths of Li Chen's mind, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, which instantly cheered up Li Chen.

"System, please tell me quickly, is there any way to save Fairy Hibiscus?"

Li Chen couldn't wait to ask. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to race against time to rescue his comrade and lover, Fairy Hibiscus.

"Fairy Hibiscus, in fact, the moment the Millennium Ice Cave collapsed, I quickly retrieved her into the pet backpack! But she is seriously injured and is currently in a coma. You must escape quickly! The Water Ancestral Witch is approaching, and your chances of winning are slim. Run quickly, or it will be too late!"

Hearing that the system had successfully rescued Fairy Hibiscus, Li Chen felt an indescribable joy. However, he dared not relax for a moment, as the Water Ancestral Witch was about to arrive, and they had to flee immediately. Li Chen quickly mounted the Snow Realm Divine Deer and galloped towards the exit with the Golden-haired Roar.

After countless hardships, they finally reached the shore. Fortunately, Li Chen had already wiped out the many demon soldiers that had come to the Nine Dragon Palace, and the Water Witch's minions were temporarily unable to pursue them. At this moment, they finally had a moment of peace!

Meanwhile, the Water Ancestral Witch led a group of demon soldiers to the Millennium Ice Cave. Gazing upon the crumbling cave before her, the Water Ancestral Witch tightly gripped her sharp spear, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. She hadn't anticipated Li Chen's formidable nature, and hadn't yet slain him. Clearly, the next clash between Li Chen and her would be a thrilling and brutal one!

"Retreat! Return to the Fahua Spirit Cave!" The Water Ancestral Witch gave an order, and the demon soldiers behind her immediately responded, turned around quickly, and followed her in an orderly manner towards the Fahua Spirit Cave.

The Water Witch secretly swore in her heart that the next time she saw Li Chen, she would make him disappear into thin air! She decided to return to the Fahua Spirit Cave, redeploy her troops, and strengthen the defenses. If Li Chen dared to come, she would turn the Fahua Spirit Cave into his grave!

Meanwhile, Li Chen and his group had reached the shore and began to rest. After all, the fierce battle had taken a heavy toll on them. The Golden-haired Roar, sealed within the Millennium Ice Cave, had lost both its physical strength and magical powers. Li Chen himself had also expended considerable energy in the fierce battle with the Nine-Headed Insect. Their most important task now was to quickly recover their strength and recuperate in order to better prepare for the next challenge: attacking the Fahua Spirit Cave and defeating Gonggong, the Ancestral Water Witch.

They found a quiet place to sit down and rest. Everyone had a trace of fatigue on their face, but their eyes revealed determination and resolve. They knew that this was only a brief respite, and that more difficult challenges awaited them ahead.

Li Chen silently circulated the mana in his body, trying to recover his strength as quickly as possible. He knew that the battle with Gonggong, the Water Ancestral Witch in the Fahua Spirit Cave would be a tough one, and only by staying in top condition could he be strong enough to fight.

The Golden-haired Roar beside him looked somewhat frustrated. He had originally thought he could avenge his previous defeat, but he hadn't expected to be defeated by the Nine-headed Insect in the end. However, he was not discouraged and instead practiced even harder, hoping to prove himself in future battles.

In this peaceful atmosphere, time passed minute by minute, and Li Chen and the others gradually regained their energy. They stood up, looking firmly towards the Fahua Spiritual Cave in the distance, ready to face new challenges.
