A Small Trick
"What are you looking for? The monsters here are all useless trash. If they're not afraid of us, why would we bother looking for them?" Sun Wukong said, scoffing.
"That's true, but Wukong, what should we do next?" Tang Xuanzang asked.
"Looking for someone!" Sun Wukong said, standing up, walking to the window, and looking outside.
"Looking for someone? How do I look for someone?" Tang Xuanzang asked.
"Look!" Sun Wukong pointed to the sky.
Following Sun Wukong's gaze, Tang Xuanzang was immediately taken aback.
At this moment, a huge white cloud is floating in the sky.
Tang Xuanzang was stunned, utterly shocked. "What incredible divine power!"
No wonder these people worship Sun Wukong so much; seeing such a huge cloud, they must be immortals from the Immortal Realm.
A surge of excitement welled up in Tang Xuanzang's heart.
Such a master, such methods, such Divine Ability —that's the kind of skill an immortal should possess!
Sun Wukong looked at the white cloud, a hint of excitement on his face. He had finally found it!
"Wukong, what's wrong?" Tang Xuanzang asked, noticing the change in Sun Wukong's expression and sounding somewhat uneasy.
"Madam, do you know, I've found a way to solve our current predicament. You must trust me and cooperate with me so I can complete my mission," Sun Wukong said excitedly, grabbing the woman's shoulders.
"Oh? What method? What method is it?" the woman asked hurriedly.
"Think about it," Sun Wukong said. "Look at these white clouds. Whenever you humans encounter heavy snowfall, clouds like these appear in the sky. Think about it carefully, doesn't the weather here resemble the scene on the day when it snows heavily for Sun Wukong Demon Race?"
"Ah, it seems so, it really seems like that! There's a white cloud in the sky, and it looks like it's made up of countless little white birds. This world is truly wondrous, truly amazing!" the woman said.
"Do you understand now?" Sun Wukong asked.
"I understand. This must be a kind of Law Technique we humans use to control wind and rain, and to conjure various shapes. Our Cultivation Practice Method must be related to the wind," the woman said.
"Yes, yes, it must be a wind-based cultivation Law Technique! Madam, look at this cloud. Do you think this kind of wind can lure our enemies here?" Sun Wukong asked excitedly.
"That would be very difficult, because our noses are extremely sensitive. We can recognize humans from the slightest scent. Our noses are even stronger than ours. I'm worried that this will give us away!" the woman said hesitantly.
"It's alright, we just need to set up a barrier in the sky and let the wind cover us, then we can lure the monster here!" Sun Wukong said confidently.
"But... wouldn't that expose us?" the woman asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, madam, I've already thought of a solution!" Sun Wukong smiled.
"You've already thought of a solution? What is it? Tell me quickly, I'm curious too! Tell me!" Tang Xuanzang asked curiously.
Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "It's very simple. We'll pretend to be surrounded by monsters, and you all observe from a distance. If the monsters' reinforcements arrive, you immediately notify us, and we'll run away. You protect us from afar, and then we can lure the monsters over. This way, we don't have to bother searching for the monsters' lair. We just need to hide in the distance and wait for the monsters to come and die." After saying this, Sun Wukong struck a dashing pose and then winked his big eyes at Tang Xuanzang.
Tang Xuanzang was taken aback by Sun Wukong's actions, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Sun Wukong asked.
"No, Wukong, you're right. However, I still don't understand why you deliberately lured that great demon to come looking for us," Tang Xuanzang asked.
"Of course I have my reasons. That great demon's nose is incredibly sensitive. If we want to lure it here, we have to lead it to a secluded place first. I don't think that great demon would be foolish enough to come to our small city," Sun Wukong said.
"Yes, you're absolutely right. Your sense of smell is indeed very keen!" Tang Xuanzang agreed.
"Of course, that great demon's nose is far more sensitive than a monkey's," Sun Wukong said smugly.
"Alright, in that case, I'll do as you say. But remember, you can only lure him over, not harm him," Tang Xuanzang said.
"Okay, I promise you, we'll leave here now and go to your human settlement!" Sun Wukong said.
"Alright, let's set off then," Tang Xuanzang said.
After leaving the tavern, Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong headed towards the human settlement, and soon arrived outside it.
Sun Wukong ran wildly and soon arrived at the place where Tang Xuanzang was.
"Madam, we'll wait here. We just need to observe the monster's movements from outside. We can't reveal our Demon Race's presence, or we'll be in trouble, "Sun Wukong said.
"Yes, that's a good idea," the woman said.
Sun Wukong and Tang Xuanzang waited quietly outside. Both of them were Demon Race, and their senses were extremely sharp. They could hear the slightest rustling of leaves clearly.
Soon, white clouds began to appear in the sky again, but the color of these clouds Taiyi from the clouds of the great demon from before. The clouds before were all black, but now they were white, which meant that the great demon had not yet arrived!
Sun Wukong observed the sky for a while, and seeing that the white clouds were becoming fewer and fewer, he said, "Madam, you should go back quickly, don't keep your Demon Race clan waiting!"
"Okay, then I'll head back. Wukong, be careful!" the woman said.
"I understand, madam. Please be careful!" Sun Wukong said.
"Then I'll go back!" the woman said, turning and leaving. Soon, her figure disappeared into the horizon.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong was looking at the white clouds in the sky.
Sun Wukong's eyesight was incredibly sharp. He scanned the surroundings and found that, apart from Tang Xuanzang, there were no other humans around the tavern. A surge of joy filled Sun Wukong. He leaped into the air and vanished in a flash.
