I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Help!" The little girl transformed by the Hibiscus Fairy cried out in despair. Her face was filled with despair and fear of monsters. If Li Chen didn't know her, he would probably have thought that this was a little girl who was about to be captured by a monster.

"Help! Little Furong! Stop grabbing my shoulders, I'm scared too!" Li Chen thought that his acting skills must not be outdone by Fairy Furong, so he screamed even louder than Fairy Furong, and tears of fear welled up in his eyes like a spring, even on his pants...

"Master, your pants!" Fairy Hibiscus looked at the map on Li Chen's pants with a puzzled look. The map was getting bigger and bigger. In addition, some unknown liquid flowed out of Li Chen's legs and dripped onto the ground. Finally, Fairy Hibiscus couldn't help but ask.

"Fairy Hibiscus is just acting, don't care about these details! Don't speak, communicate with magic!" Li Chen used magic to quietly tell Fairy Hibiscus. This scene showed that Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus were indeed two children who were completely scared after encountering the demon.

At this moment, Li Chen secretly felt relieved: Fortunately, Fairy Hibiscus is a woman. If she were a man, this play would not be able to go on.

After all, at this moment, only by acting seriously and paying attention to details could the two demons believe that they were just two ordinary children. In this way, they would relax their vigilance and take the two into their cave.

The evil wind grew stronger, carrying with it a strong smell of fish and seafood. Li Chen frowned, thinking that the combination of these two smells was really unbearable.

Suddenly, a sharp cry was heard, frightening the Hibiscus Fairy so much that she turned pale and screamed. Li Chen hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" But Li Chen's body was trembling in the evil wind.

As the evil wind intensified, the dark clouds in the sky grew thicker, as if pressing down. At this moment, two figures appeared faintly in the dark clouds.

The figures quickly fell from the sky, and Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus were able to look up at the two figures. Li Chen looked closely and saw that the two figures had human bodies, wearing majestic armor, but their heads were not human heads, but fish heads.

Li Chen couldn't help but gasp, thinking to himself: "The monster is here!"

The two fish-headed monsters were none other than Benboerba and Babolben. They looked very similar, both being fish spirits that had cultivated into spirits: Benboerba was a catfish spirit, while Babolben was a black carp spirit.

They slowly descended from the dark clouds, and the air around them seemed to grow heavier with their presence. The little girl transformed by the Hibiscus Fairy tightly hugged the arm of the little boy transformed by Li Chen, her body trembling slightly, her eyes revealing deep fear.

"These villagers are so stupid! They never learn their lesson! Since they're so kind, we can only accept it!"

Benboerba said to Babolben with a sly smile, and Babolben nodded in agreement. Then the two demons rushed towards Li Chen and the child transformed by Fairy Hibiscus.

Because they were going to explore the monster's cave, Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus did not run away. Instead, they pretended to be children who were frightened by the monsters. They were caught by the two monsters, tied up with ropes and taken away!

The villagers who were hiding saw through the crack in the door that two more children were captured by the monster. They wanted to go out to rescue them, but they remembered what Li Chen had said before, and because of their deep fear of monsters, they did not go out to rescue them.

Benboerba and Babolben were overjoyed to see that they had successfully captured two more children from Ping'an Village. So, the two monsters grabbed a child in each hand and flew towards their cave on a cloud.

"Help! Aren't you two monsters afraid that someone will come to deal with you?" The little boy transformed by Li Chen shouted at the two monsters flying on the clouds.

"Little devil, forget about humans! Even Avalokitesvara is no match for our Water Ancestral Witch Lord! Let me tell you! It's an honor for lowly mortals like you to be enjoyed by the Water Ancestral Witch Lord Gonggong!"

Babolben said this arrogantly, but he didn't know that the person in front of him, or the person he was holding in his hand, was the one who killed the Water Witch!

Soon, Babolben and Benbolba brought Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus to their cave.

The two monsters brought the children transformed by Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus to the warehouse where they usually stored the children they had robbed. There were indeed many children here, but because they had not eaten for a long time, many of them had already fainted from hunger.

"You two stay here. If you try to run away, we will eat your flesh with wine!" The two demons threatened together, and then left to drink together.

From their words, Li Chen learned some clues. First, the two of them defected to the demons under the command of the Water Ancestor Witch, and under the order of the Water Ancestor Witch, they collected children from the human world to help the Water Ancestor Witch restore his strength.

"Fairy Hibiscus, stop pretending, we succeeded!"

Li Chen transformed back into his original form and spoke to the little girl who was transformed from the Hibiscus Fairy lying beside him. The little girl's face was no longer as childish as before, replaced by the beautiful face of the Hibiscus Fairy. Her figure also began to become more graceful.

These ropes naturally couldn't hold them, so the two of them broke free and created two fake bodies on the ground, so that when the demons came to patrol, they wouldn't suspect them.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" A little girl asked in horror as she looked at Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus who had turned back into their original forms.

"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you! Don't make any noise, keep quiet. We will find out the situation of the monster so that we can save you better!" Li Chen placed his left index finger on the right, signaling the little girl to keep quiet and then said.

"Okay, thank you, brother and sister! I will be obedient!"

Li Chen nodded in satisfaction after seeing the little girl's response. He then tiptoed with Fairy Hibiscus towards the room where the monster was.

Li Chen wet his hand with saliva and gently opened the window paper to observe the two monsters. He saw that Benboerba and Babolben were standing in a room with several huge wooden boxes. They stopped in front of the boxes together.

"My good brother, what a brilliant plan you came up with! Now we have all the money of those foolish villagers!" Babolben said, and opened the box in front of him. Suddenly, the whole room was gleaming with dazzling golden light. It was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, silk, satin, jewelry and other valuables!

"Villagers, could it be that all the things in their boxes came from those villagers?" Li Chen looked at the scene in the house in confusion and thought to himself.

"Hahahaha! I disguised myself as an exorcist and pretended to pass by here. I deliberately told them that I could exorcise demons and catch ghosts, but the fee was a bit high. I didn't expect that those villagers would actually take out all their savings. If they weren't stupid, we would never make so much money from them!" Benboerba grinned, and as he said that, he grabbed a heavy gold ingot with his hand and fiddled with it casually in his hand like playing with an egg.

"This damn demon!"

Li Chen cursed in his heart, every child is born by his parents, and his child was captured by the demon, so he had to rescue him no matter how much money it cost. This is human nature, but he was used by the demon for personal gain!

Benboerba transformed himself into a Taoist priest for fun, holding a dustpan in his hand, carrying a peach wood sword on his back, wearing Taoist clothes, with snow-white hair that made him look like an immortal, and a white beard on his rosy face. He was obviously an old Taoist priest who had practiced for a long time. If Li Chen did not have magical powers, it would be difficult to tell that he was actually a demon in transformation.

Poor villagers, with their mortal eyes, couldn't tell the demon's transformation, so they mistakenly believed this fake Taoist priest and gave away all their life savings to the demon! In the end, they lost everything!
