Chapter 569: Chapter 468: The Fourth Night

The moment the Queen Mother of the West’s voice resounded.

A dark red tongue suddenly descended from the sky.

The tongue was hideous, with densely packed grey barbs covering its surface, countless in number. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

In the blink of an eye, it rolled up the staff radiating dazzling golden light with a fierce pull.

The mighty sky-supporting giant staff was forcibly stopped in mid-air.

What kind of monster is that?!

Is the owner of that tongue the Queen Mother of the West?!

Seeing this scene, Han Zhan felt a shock in his heart, instinctively wanting to raise his head to look at the sky, to see what the entity in the sky was like.

But only then did he realize that he was still unable to move due to the monkey’s "Body-Stabilizing Skill."

The battle between the opposing sides before him continued.

Weapon entangled by a tongue, the Fierce Monkey did not intend to give up. It grasped a handful of monkey hair from the back of its head with force, brought it to its mouth, and blew gently.

Countless Fierce Monkeys emerged from between its fingers.

These Fierce Monkeys, transformed from the monkey hair, all had the Tier Eight Peak realm, roaring fiercely, rushing madly toward the Peach Garden from all directions.

At this moment, a demon wind inexplicably stirred around the entire Peach Garden.

The wind, with overwhelming force, blew all those Tier Eight Peak Fierce Monkeys off the ground, causing them to fly backward, transforming back into monkey hair floating in the air.

Moreover, this fierce wind also extended toward Han Zhan’s direction.

The demon wind hit directly, and Han Zhan smelled a nauseating stench, like the breath of a very old demon who hadn’t brushed its teeth in tens of millions of years.

The smell was enough to make one’s face turn pale and indescribable.

The demon wind didn’t last long, and as it swept past Han Zhan and the others, it was just a brief moment.

Initially immobilized, Han Zhan felt a lightness in his body, and, like those blown away hairs, he floated into the sky.

However, unlike the hairs returning to the Fierce Monkeys,

Han Zhan and the Contracted Spirit Girls, under the wrapping of that demon wind, managed to make that crucial breakthrough and successfully entered the Peach Garden!

Crack.

Crack.

The golden "restrain" characters above Han Zhan and the others’ heads shattered one by one, and they regained control of their bodies, restoring their senses.

"You lost." The Queen Mother of the West’s voice lightly echoed from above.

Only then did Han Zhan remember to look up at the sky, but by this time, the sky was once again covered by clouds, and the curling tongue had disappeared.

They weren’t able to see the figure of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Fierce Monkey, having all its hairs blown away in one breath, walked indifferently to the entrance of the Peach Garden, looking at Han Zhan and the others who had fallen into the Peach Garden, and remained silent for a long time.

The golden staff was put back into its ear, it did not respond to the Queen Mother of the West’s statement from the sky, instead making an incomprehensible gesture.

It sat cross-legged at the entrance of the Peach Garden!

"I haven’t lost yet." Only after sitting cross-legged did it speak. "When the night falls, the restrictions of the Peach Garden will no longer bear on me."

Hearing this, Han Zhan and the others, who had just relaxed a bit, couldn’t help but feel tense again.

They had forgotten about this altogether.

When night falls, the Peach Garden will be completely open, allowing anyone to come and go freely by then.

Now, there’s only half a day’s time left until nightfall. How should they prepare during this half-day to deal with a Tier Nine Peak or even an Ultimate realm transcendent being?

"Hmph." A faint snort echoed from the sky, and upon hearing this familiar cold snort, Han Zhan almost instinctively thought that his mission had failed once again, and he was going to be erased by the Queen Mother of the West.

But luckily, it was a false alarm.

"When night falls, the restrictions of the Peach Garden will indeed disappear."

"But at that time, how much of your strength will you have left?"

The Queen Mother of the West’s words were not only for the Fierce Monkey but also for us! Han Zhan instantly understood the underlying meaning of the Queen Mother of the West’s words.

When night falls and the restrictions in the Peach Garden disappear, does it mean that the realm of the Fierce Monkey will also degrade?

If that’s the case, then nighttime should actually be less dangerous than daytime!

"How much strength remains? At least I can still roam freely in this Fruit World, while some need to soak in the Spiritual Energy Spring Liquid every nightfall to recover some sanity. Heh."

At this point, the Fierce Monkey let out a cold laugh, seemingly in response to the Queen Mother of the West’s earlier snort.

Their dialogue, Han Zhan and his group could hear clearly.

There was so much information, so overwhelming that they forgot to do anything else for a moment.

The Fierce Monkey can roam freely within the Fruit World, while the Queen Mother of the West cannot.

The Queen Mother of the West needs to "bathe" every nightfall, isn’t that a prelude task they had done before?

Why do the Fierce Monkey, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Peach Garden undergo different transformations after nightfall compared to daytime? Does it imply that to them, the "twins" in Kunlun Twins and the difference between night and day are significant?

For a moment, Han Zhan’s imagination ran wild.

After being retorted with a few sentences by the Fierce Monkey, the Queen Mother of the West didn’t speak again for a while.

Inside and outside the entire Peach Garden, it suddenly became unusually silent.

Composing himself, Han Zhan, whose spiritual power had fully recovered, was the first to stand up.

He no longer looked at the Fierce Ape at the entrance but turned to the other Contracted Spirit Girls and said, "Everyone, hurry and complete your previously assigned tasks, we have half a day left to prepare."

"Be quick!"

The Fierce Ape quietly sat outside the Peach Garden, its gaze fixed on the busy figures within the Peach Garden, without saying a word.

Just like that, until the sun set in the west,

Night fell!

Han Zhan and the others, who had prepared well, had already taken their positions before nightfall, and they looked up at the virtual screen above.

The image of the Fierce Monkey sitting cross-legged at the entrance appeared vividly on the screen.

When the first touch of night covered its body,

A sudden change occurred.

The grey-brown fur on the Fierce Monkey’s body turned snow-white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its original size, comparable to an adult human, also began to gradually shrink.

After a few breaths, the once mighty and terrifying Fierce Monkey transformed into a young monkey with snow-white fur!

The only thing that remained unchanged were its eyes, still bright and shining.

"Its aura has weakened," Han Zhan observed the image displayed on the virtual screen and spoke, "Tier Three? Tier Two? Or... Tier One."

No wonder the Queen Mother of the West mentioned this with a mocking tone.

It turns out that after night falls, the Fierce Monkey’s strength diminishes to such an extent.

Just as Han Zhan thought the threat from the Fierce Monkey had been completely nullified, he noticed its gaze fell onto the monitor, as if it could see Han Zhan and the others standing behind it through the screen.

The voice of the Fierce Monkey came through the monitor:

"Han Zhan, after nightfall, my situation becomes very dangerous, could you come over and protect me?"
