I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"It was a close call. Fortunately, I had the binding skill of Hibiscus Fairy. Otherwise, this explosion would have really blown me into pieces!" Li Chen patted his chest with lingering fear. His whole body was shining with a layer of green light. This was the effect of Hibiscus Fairy's binding skill "Shelter of the Virgin of Flowers".

If it weren't for this protective move, the Red Flame King Kong's self-explosion just now was at such a close distance that even if Li Chen didn't die, he would have been seriously injured.

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help but feel a little scared, but at the same time he was very satisfied with the Hibiscus Fairy's bond skill. He knew that if he didn't have this skill, he would probably have died under the Red Flame King Kong's self-explosion.

"Fire Qilin, come out!" Li Chen whispered, and then he summoned the Fire Qilin from the system space. The Fire Qilin appeared in front of Li Chen, its body flashing with red flames, looking particularly majestic.

Li Chen mounted the Fire Kirin and flew towards the Red Flame King Kong's cave. Soon, they returned to the Red Flame King Kong's cave. Here gathered the little demons who had previously rebelled against the Red Flame King Kong and the Fire Ancestral Witch.

The little demons in the cave were anxiously waiting for news from Li Chen. They were uneasy, not knowing whether Li Chen could defeat the Red Flame King Kong and the Fire Ancestral Witch. If Li Chen was defeated and killed, the Red Flame King Kong would never let them go.

Every little demon's face was filled with worry about the future. They were very afraid that once Li Chen was defeated, the Fire Ancestral Witch and the Red Flame King Kong would tear them into pieces.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the cave. The little demons looked towards the cave entrance and saw Li Chen riding a fire unicorn slowly walking in. Seeing that Li Chen was safe and sound, the little demons immediately breathed a sigh of relief and showed happy smiles on their faces.

Li Chen looked at the little demons, understanding their feelings. He smiled and said to them, "Don't worry, I've defeated the Scarlet Flame King Kong. From now on, you won't have to worry about being oppressed or threatened anymore."

After hearing Li Chen's words, the little demons were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes. They knelt down to thank Li Chen and expressed their willingness to follow him and create a new future together.

Li Chen looked at the excited little demons in front of him, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that these little demons had suffered too much hardship and torture, but now they had finally found a leader they could rely on, someone who could lead them to a bright future.

Li Chen helped the little demons up and said to them, "You don't have to thank me. From now on, just follow me and work hard. As long as I have a bite to eat, I will never let you go hungry."

After hearing this, the little demons nodded in understanding. Then, Li Chen asked about their backgrounds. It turned out that many of these little demons were little monkeys from Mount Emei, who had become what they are today after being infected by the evil spirit of the Fire Witch.

Furthermore, there are some lava demons who originally transformed with the help of the Fire Ancestral Witch's power. But why did they betray the Fire Ancestral Witch? It turns out that they have been oppressed by the Fire Ancestral Witch since their transformation. Now, they have finally met their wise master and are willing to follow Li Chen to defeat the Fire Ancestral Witch. For the mistakes and sins they have committed in the past, they are also willing to atone with their own strength and lives.

After listening to the little demons' stories, Li Chen couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect you to go through so much hardship. You must have worked so hard. But from today on, you won't have to suffer anymore. Just follow me, and I will definitely lead you to a better tomorrow."

After hearing this, the little demons expressed their willingness to follow Li Chen and create a new future together.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at the little demons behind him and said, "In that case, let's leave here." After that, Li Chen led the little demons out of the Red Flame King Kong's cave.

Li Chen rode a giant fire unicorn, surrounded by little demons, and slowly headed towards the village. Along the way, the little demons excitedly discussed their future lives, full of expectations and longings.

When they reached the Emeishan Road, Li Chen discovered that the path had broken, making it impossible to continue. He ordered the demons to repair the road immediately. The demons gladly accepted the order and immediately set to work. Working together, they quickly repaired the broken Emeishan Road.

After some hard work, the road was finally cleared. Li Chen looked at the open road in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and spoke highly of the performance of the little demons.

He praised, "You have done a great job, everyone has worked hard!" When the little demons heard the master's praise, happy smiles appeared on their faces and they all expressed their willingness to work for the master.

Afterwards, Li Chen led the little demons on their journey again, continuing towards the village. They crossed the mountains and forests, traversing the rugged mountain roads, and finally arrived near the village. From afar, smoke curled from the village, creating a peaceful and tranquil scene.

At this moment, the system suddenly sent a message: "Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission 'Slay the Red Flame King Kong'. The mission reward is ten Resurrection Pills, ten Level 4 Strengthening Stones, and three fragments of the magic weapon Modo Soul Banner. In addition, there is an additional magic weapon called the Resurrection Pearl, which can revive the dead villagers! After obtaining the Strengthening Stone, it will automatically strengthen the equipment! The Resurrection Pill has been added to your backpack! Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the magic weapon Modo Soul Banner!"

Upon hearing this news, Li Chen was overjoyed. He knew these rewards meant a great deal to him. He was especially excited about the magical weapon, the Modo Soul Banner. It was a powerful, high-level magical weapon, and possessing it would give him an advantage in future battles. Furthermore, the Soul-Resurrection Orb, which could revive dead villagers, was a rare treasure.

Li Chen secretly congratulated himself on his choice, and at the same time, he felt his own strength improve. He knew that only by constantly accepting challenges could one grow. This experience undoubtedly brought him one step closer to his goal. Filled with joy and confidence, Li Chen quickened his pace and headed towards the village. He looked forward to sharing this good news with the villagers and bringing them more hope and peace.

As for this soul-returning bead, with it, I can save more people killed by monsters! The tragedy of Chang'an City will not happen again!

Before they knew it, Li Chen and the little demons who had turned from evil to good had arrived in the village.

"Villagers, come out! I'm back!"

Li Chen stood at the entrance of the village and shouted to the people in the village. His voice was loud and firm, as if it carried an inexplicable power that penetrated the entire village.

When the villagers heard that Li Chen had returned, they all rushed out from their hiding places and rushed to the village entrance. Their faces were filled with joy and anticipation, and their eyes were shining. However, when they saw the group of little demons following Li Chen, their smiles froze instantly, replaced by astonishment and fear.

"Why did you bring them back? Do you want these monsters to kill us?" A woman looked at Li Chen in horror and asked angrily. Her voice was trembling, full of despair and helplessness.

These monsters have killed countless innocent people in this village, and have committed countless evil deeds. They once brought endless pain and disaster to this village, and made people live in fear. And now, Li Chen has brought them back! How can this not make people shocked and angry?

"Don't worry, they won't hurt anyone," Li Chen explained quickly. "They've reformed and decided to turn from evil to good. I believe they will become our friends and protect this village together."

"Reform? Why would you believe them?" another man questioned. "They're monsters! Their nature is evil. How could they possibly change?"

"Yes, they used to be monsters, but now they have chosen kindness," Li Chen insisted. "They are willing to use their actions to prove their change and hope to gain everyone's forgiveness and acceptance."

The villagers were silent for a moment, exchanging glances as if pondering Li Chen's words. Finally, the woman spoke up, "Okay, since you say so, we'll trust them for now. But if they do anything bad again, we won't let them go!"

"Thank you for your trust," Li Chen said gratefully. "I believe they will win everyone's recognition with practical actions."

After saying that, Li Chen turned to the little demons and said, "Let's go, let's go walk around the village together and get familiar with the environment here. By the way, you can also tell me about the situation of the Fire Ancestral Witch and his subordinates, so that I can better slay the demons and eliminate the evil. The sooner I succeed in subjugating them, the sooner you can live a peaceful life."

The little demons nodded and cautiously followed Li Chen into the village. They looked around, observing everything around them curiously. Although the villagers were still wary of them, they showed no signs of hostility or aggression.
