Mountain Demon
The Dream of Delusion of South Mountain has shrunk to its smallest size. Before, when the South Mountain Tiger was still there, the entire Dream of Delusion covered the entire South Mountain. But now, Lu Li, relying on his senses, discovered that the entire Dream of Delusion was only the size of a basketball court. In fact, if Lu Li were to enter directly, it would cause the Dream of Delusion to collapse.
The Dream of Delusion moved continuously within the South Mountain area, seemingly attaching itself to some creature and absorbing new legends to create new ghosts and creatures. Lu Li sensed the aura of the dreamscape, his feet moving with the pace of Assassin as he traversed the mountains and forests, his figure barely visible.
The shadow crushed a poisonous insect to death. Lu Li, with silent steps, leaped lightly and climbed a tree. Standing on a large branch, he looked at the creature in front of him through the gaps in the leaves.
After a period of searching, Lu Li finally found the creature that the Dream of Delusion was attached to. Lu Li quietly stood on the outer edge of the dream, looking at the creature's back. The creature was quite strong, covered in jet-black fur, with extremely long arms, three fingers, and black claws, but strangely, it only had one heel.
The monster squatted on the ground, head down, its long arms constantly pulling at the ground, feeding something into its mouth while making a hissing sound like a pig eating. After a while, the monster finally finished eating, stood up, and was about two meters tall.
The monster looked around and then turned around, finally revealing its true form to Lu Li. Except for its face, the monster was covered in black fur. Its face resembled that of a monkey or baboon, except that its lips were exceptionally large, taking up at least half the size of its face. There were also some chicken feathers on its disgusting lips, indicating that its meal had just been a pheasant.
The monster kept leaping on one leg, its speed incredibly fast through the mountains and forests. Lu Li kept pace, following the one-legged monster without making a sound. After traveling for a while, Lu Li saw the monster enter a cave.
Lu Li looked at the familiar terrain. Wasn't this the Tiger King Cave in the Dream of Delusion? Only this was in reality. The ground hadn't been cleared, and the surrounding area was full of trees, earthen slopes, and rocks.
Lu Li waited for a while before entering the Tiger King Cave in reality. This cave was not as smooth as in the dream, nor was it paved with stone slabs. It also had an extremely unpleasant tuberculosis smell, and many skeletons could be seen, mostly human ones.
Passing through the passage, they saw a large cavern in the mountains ahead. In the center of the cavern was a huge rock. Lu Li narrowed his eyes. This was indeed the prototype of the stone palace in the Dream of Delusion. The monster was scratching at the rock with its jet-black claws.
"Do you want to go back?" Lu Li suddenly asked.
The monster turned around instantly, and upon seeing Lu Li, it immediately let out an angry rumble and hopped towards Lu Li on one leg.
"So it really is you!" Lu Li said with a smile, "Should I call you White Monkey General, or your current name, Mountain Demon?"
This monster was actually the White Monkey General from the Dream of Delusion in disguise. After Lu Li shattered the tiger's true form, the Dream of Delusion immediately collapsed, and the Tiger Ghost living within it disappeared along with the tiger's death.
Inside, the Red Fox was killed by Lu Li's shadow, leaving only the White Monkey General and his monkey offspring in the Dream of Delusion. For some reason, the White Monkey General was chosen as the new bearer, consuming all his monkey offspring, and appeared in reality in a half-real, half-illusory way.
The Dream of Delusion absorbed various mountain legends and constantly modified the White Monkey General based on these elements. In this continuous modification, a monster legend called the Mountain Demon was selected, which was also relatively close to monkeys. Therefore, the White Monkey General was directly Mutation into the Mountain Demon.
Back then, White Monkey General was the third-in-command of Tiger King Cave and the leader of the military officers. He was followed by his monkey offspring, slept in a palace, and was served by all sorts of Tiger Ghost. But because of Lu Li, he was turned into a wild beast that can't even speak properly now. He can only forage for food in the mountains and sleeps in a dilapidated cave. Do you think he hates Lu Li?
The shadows behind Lu Li, like several Giant Serpent hunting for food, pounced out, covered with a strong aura of fear, and lashed directly at the Mountain Demon's body. The aura of fear invaded the Mountain Demon's body, interfering with its perception of its body, causing it to pause. Shadow Magic bloomed in the air, Thorn flowers bloomed, taking root in the ground and binding the Mountain Demon.
The transformation of the White Monkey General into Mountain Demon has certain advantages, namely, its strength is further enhanced. Although it is not as strong as the previous White Tiger King, it will grow stronger with the incorporation of various legends and the Dream of Delusion. It is not impossible for it to even surpass the White Tiger King with the blessing of the Dream of Delusion.
However, it had only been Mountain Demon for a short time, and the Dream of Delusion had just experienced a collapse, so it had virtually no power to support it. As it broke free of the shadow Thorn, a long spear that flew towards it pierced through its body.
Lu Li's shadow wriggled and pierced the Mountain Demon directly. Ignoring the Mountain Demon's struggles, the shadow continued to deform inside its body, trying to crush it to death. But the next moment, the entire Mountain Demon's body disappeared.
"Teleportation?" Lu Li's shadow kept writhing, and the Mountain Demon disappeared as it was pierced by the shadow. It seems that the Dream of Delusion is not as weak as imagined; it can actually Bestowal him some Legendary Ability about Mountain Demon.
In fact, South Mountain Tiger misled Lu Li. The main ability that the Dream of Delusion Bestowal the White Tiger King was to act as a tiger's henchman. However, all the Tiger Ghost lived in the Dream of Delusion, providing faith to South Mountain Tiger and supporting its immortality. If Lu Li hadn't conquered the Dream of Delusion, Zhou Chu wouldn't have been able to kill South Mountain Tiger so easily.
Unlike the South Mountain Tiger, the Mountain Demon gains a direct enhancement of itself. The source of this ability is the Mountain Demon's ability to escape. Some can burrow into the ground, while others can burrow into trees. This particular Mountain Demon escaped Lu Li's shadow attack by burrowing into the ground at a critical moment.
"It's a pity, you should have just left." Lu Li conjured another spear in his hand, then suddenly shot it out, piercing through a boulder as tall as a person and the Mountain Demon behind it, causing Thorn to sprout and pinning it to the rock. "I can hardly ignore the disgusting smell emanating from you."
The Earth Escape that the mandrill had just acquired was not strong at all. If it escaped from the cave, it might still have the possibility of escaping. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, it was unwilling to leave this "home" and was discovered by Lu Li.
At this point, it would be difficult for it to escape. Lu Li's shadow crawled over, enveloped it, and squeezed it, and the Mountain Demon died just like that. Lu Li sensed that the Dreamlands on its body collapsed again, turning into an invisible mass that floated towards Lu Li.
