Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 467 - 240

When Green Lion and Bai Xiang were brimming with confidence, Monkey had already reached the stomach of Green Lion, where he was surrounded by Green Lion's green stomach acid, which surged towards him like waves.

A flash of white light crossed his body, causing Monkey to find that he could barely mobilize his mana. It was as if he had returned to being that newly born, bewildered little monkey.

The green stomach acid submerged his body, bringing him intense pain, but fortunately, his Vajra Indestructible body prevented the acid from digesting him.

"This power seems somewhat familiar," Monkey murmured to himself.

Soon, a scene of his previous conversation with Lu Yu flashed through his mind, especially that drop of Holy Elephant Essence Blood which had made a profound impression on him. The white and holy aura was identical to this power.

With this realization, Monkey's confusion cleared, and he understood the source of the power sealing his own. He couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Now you've really shot yourselves in the foot."

With a flicker of his body, he transformed into a small white elephant and stood proudly upon the green waves, his whole body radiating a holy and sacred light.

The Power of the Holy Elephant that had bound him instantly turned into nutrients that he absorbed. Only then did Monkey revert to his original form.

Raising his head and looking around, a sly smile appeared on his face as he muttered, "Now, it's your turn to suffer!"

No sooner had he spoken than Monkey leapt up and kicked against the surrounding walls.

Green Lion was enjoying the cheers of numerous demons but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. Being a resilient individual, he resisted the pain to avoid losing face in front of his subjects, waving to the crowd while his expression turned ugly in an instant.

Bai Xiang, perceptive of Green Lion's discomfort, discreetly used his own body to shield Green Lion and quietly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you, why do you look so ill?"

Green Lion quietly clutched his stomach and said, "My stomach hurts."

Bai Xiang was stunned by Green Lion's words. As Demon Kings, their bodies were so robust that they were beyond verbal description. Not to mention diseases, even usual swords and blades could not harm them, let alone cause stomach pain. Suddenly, the image of Monkey popped into his mind, drawing a sharp intake of breath.

"Is it that Monkey?" Bai Xiang still found it hard to believe, considering that Monkey's body bore his own seal, a power driven by the Holy Elephant Bloodline within his body, and wondered how it could have failed to affect Monkey.

"It's most likely him," Green Lion agreed with a grave nod, just as another wave of severe pain struck, bending him at the waist.

Hence, Green Lion and Bai Xiang quickly returned to their cave, no longer receiving the cheers from the smaller demons. However, their departure did not diminish the demons' enthusiasm, as they continued to stand on the now-damaged ground, cheering and celebrating the supposed victory of their Great King.

Among the demons, only one, who revealed a delighted smile upon watching the Demon Kings depart, was actually Lu Yu in disguise.

The other demons couldn't see, but he, who had cultivated the Pupil Skill, could see clearly. The slightly pale face of Green Lion and his slightly curved body were all telling him that Green Lion was enduring immense pain, and it was definitely the doing of the Monkey inside his stomach.

By this time, Green Lion and Bai Xiang had already entered the cave dwelling. As soon as the door closed, Green Lion lay on the ground and kept rolling around. The Monkey in his stomach was already creating havoc, swinging the Jingu Bang left and right, stirring up the inside of Green Lion's stomach.

"Quick, bring me the herbal medicine!" Green Lion covered his stomach and yelled on the ground.

This herb was what he specifically used to deal with beings like Monkey that could survive inside his stomach, a plan he had conceived after suffering a loss from Liu Qingyun. He finally completed it with the help of the Demon Lord of a Hundred Eyes.

Soon, two little demons entered, carrying a large pot slowly. The pot was filled with black medicinal liquid, which made a squeaking noise as it bobbed up and down on a wooden pole.

By this time, Green Lion could no longer bear the pain. He quickly got up from the ground, rushed to the pot, and began drinking frantically. The medicine in the pot disappeared at a visible rate.

In Green Lion's stomach, the tumbling Monkey immediately sensed something amiss. Green Lion's stomach kept contracting, squeezing Monkey's space, and soon, black medicinal liquid began to pour down from above.

As soon as this medicinal water entered the stomach, it turned into a black smoke and spread throughout the stomach. Monkey took a slight sniff and felt an extremely fishy stench, followed by a wave of dizziness.

"Well, this stuff is quite potent," Monkey muttered to himself, knowing that this was Green Lion's tactic to force him out.

A look of disdain appeared on his face as he looked up at the continuous stream of medicinal water above, and with a fierce smile, he said, "Thinking of driving Old Sun away, wishful thinking! Today, I'll let you all know how it's easy to invite a god but hard to send one away."

He shook his body and transformed back into a small white elephant, for Holy Elephants are born to suppress all evil spirits and are immune to all poisons, and the place they inhabit is filled with a wonderful fragrance.

Thus, when Monkey transformed into a small Holy Elephant, the foul air around him was purified by the Holy Light, losing its original potency. He opened his mouth and swallowed all the falling medicinal water. No sooner had the poisonous medicine entered his stomach than it was purified by the Holy Light into the purest power, nourishing himself.

"No wonder the Holy Elephant is called an Ancient Holy Beast, this power is indeed great, I like it," Monkey laughed and talked to himself.

Seeing the medicinal water above his head gradually disappear, Monkey's face revealed a smile. He reverted to his original form, wielding the Golden Hoop Staff, and began his fresh attack, causing Green Lion to roll on the ground in pain, incessantly begging for mercy.

Bai Xiang, left with no choice, resorted to reverse psychology, using Monkey's reputation as bait in an attempt to deceive Monkey into coming out. But Monkey was quite a character; he had already made preparations in advance. Before leaving, he used his hairs to make a rope tied around Green Lion's heart. This allowed the two demons to respectfully send him and his party out of the territory.

As Green Lion and Bai Xiang watched Tang Monk's departing figure until he disappeared from sight, Green Lion then fiercely said, "Such a disgrace, to be manipulated by a mere Monkey, our reputation is completely ruined."

"It's just a temporary stratagem," Bai Xiang said solemnly, his eyes fixed on the distance, as if he could see Lion Camel City fully prepared for battle. "Remember, just ahead is Third Brother's territory. I have already sent a secret message to him. We will return and mobilize the smaller demons, raise a large army to head to Lion Camel City for assistance, and we will make sure to keep Tang Monk and his party in Lion Camel City, to avenge today's humiliation."
