Time flies and several months have passed.
At a seaport on the Dongsheng Continent bordering the East China Sea, a human man in a green robe and a colorful tiger-headed monster stood side by side. In front of them, a group of men and women were kneeling.
They were all wearing coarse linen clothes, and the skin on their faces and hands was tanned red by the sun and covered with cracks from years of sea breeze. They were obviously fishermen who made a living by fishing at sea.
Just now, Shen Luo killed a monster that emerged from the sea and attacked the harbor. Now he was surrounded by fishermen, who knelt down and worshipped them as their saviors.
The leader among them was a middle-aged man with blood on his face. When the monster came ashore to attack, he was the first one to wield the oar to meet the enemy. Fortunately, Shen Luo and the other man happened to arrive there, otherwise he would have been eaten by the monster by now.
"Two immortal masters, please have mercy on us. Can you be good people and help us find a way to survive?" The middle-aged man's eyes were red, and he almost begged.
"Tell me first, what happened?" Fu Donglai asked.
The middle-aged man glanced at Fu Donglai with some fear in his eyes, but still said with courage:
"Master, our East China Sea fishing port had always been peaceful until last month, when monsters suddenly emerged from the seabed and attacked the fishing port and fishing village. Not to mention the livestock, many people have lost their lives."
"Why don't you report to the police when a monster appears?" Fu Donglai frowned.
"Aolai is a small country with little power, and the county government here is even more... Well, they are good at dealing with ordinary thieves, but once a monster appears, they are useless and dare not come at all." The middle-aged man sighed.
"How do you want us to help you?" Shen Luo asked.
"The water monsters in the East China Sea have always been under the jurisdiction of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. Although there are monsters causing trouble occasionally, the East China Sea Dragon Palace can always deal with it in time. But this time, so much time has passed and there is no movement from the East China Sea Dragon Palace. I'm afraid they haven't received the news yet. We think that the immortal master must have the ability to ascend to the sky and dive into the sea. Can you help us talk to the East China Sea Dragon Palace?" The middle-aged man looked at Shen Luo with anticipation in his eyes.
"Okay, but you have to wait until I finish my business. Before that, I will set up a magic circle to protect you. You should not go near the waterfront recently." Shen Luo thought for a moment and nodded in response.
“Thank you, Master…” All the fishermen bowed in admiration.
Shen Luo didn't say much. After using talismans to set up a magic circle in the coastal area of the harbor, he left with Fu Donglai.
Shen Luo knew the location of Huaguo Mountain, so there was no need for him to ask for directions. He just took Fu Donglai and rushed there.
Different from the Flower-Fruit Mountain that I had seen in my previous dream, although this place was not rich, it was still peaceful after all, without any broken walls or devastation.
The two soon arrived at the foot of Huaguo Mountain and saw a camp in front of the entrance to the mountain.
There were several monkeys wearing armor standing in front of the camp, holding weapons such as knives and sticks in their hands, looking quite realistic.
Seeing the two approaching, the tallest white-haired monkey came forward with a single sword in hand and shouted, "Who are you? Where are you going?"
