"Great! We've finally gotten completely away from Lion Camel Ridge!" Zhu Bajie set down the luggage and collapsed onto the grass, gasping for breath. His face was full of exhaustion, but also delight. "I, Old Pig, never want to go back to that ghost place again. It was terrifying!"
Sun Wukong also let out a sigh of relief. "Yeah, we've finally gotten completely away from Lion Camel Ridge! That place was truly dangerous. The Three Great Demon Kings possessed formidable magic, and they had forty-eight thousand imps. If we hadn't escaped in time, the consequences would have been unthinkable."
Chu Yang nodded as well. "That's right! We were fortunate to escape smoothly this time. But we can't let our guard down. The Three Great Demon Kings definitely won't let this go. They won't give up on capturing Master. We'll surely run into them again on the Journey to the West, so we must be especially careful and prepare ourselves."
Tang Monk climbed down from White Dragon Horse and walked onto the grass. Pressing his palms together, he softly recited toward the distance, "Amitabha. Thank you, Buddha, for blessing us and allowing us to escape Lion Camel Ridge safely. I hope that from now on, we may continue west without incident, obtain the true scriptures, and save all living beings."
After finishing his prayer, Tang Monk looked at everyone and said softly, "Wukong, Chu Yang, Ba Jie, we have traveled hard and are all exhausted. Let us rest here for the night, then continue west at dawn tomorrow."
"Alright!" Sun Wukong, Chu Yang, and Zhu Bajie answered in unison.
As he spoke, Zhu Bajie took out some dry rations and water from the luggage and handed them out. Everyone sat on the grass, eating and drinking to restore their strength. In
