Chapter 1658

If it weren't for that, up until now, as Tang Sanzang traveled west, they, the Chan Sect, would not have gained even a bit of profit.

Even in this situation, Yuanshi Tianzun began to wonder if the location of their Yuxu Palace was not good.

That was why none of their Chan Sect disciples were able to snatch a task.

After all, Nezha the Third Prince and Erlang Shen Yang Jian, also as disciples of the Chan Sect, had snatched the tasks posted by Senior Wu Feng in the chat group.

Here, Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, and the others continued to advance cautiously in White Tiger Ridge, maintaining the formation specified by Sun Wukong.

They had been walking for a whole morning, and Sun Wukong had kept his Fiery Eyes activated the entire time, yet he had not discovered any monsters lurking around.

If he hadn't witnessed the celestial change in the sky with his own eyes earlier, Sun Wukong would have doubted whether there were any monsters here at all.

Time came to noon, and Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, and the others found a cool, open space to prepare for a rest.

As soon as they sat down, Marshal Tianpeng's stomach could not help but growl.

Hearing this sound, even Marshal Tianpeng scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"That... Master, you know that I, Old Pig, have a big appetite; I only ate twenty-seven steamed buns this morning and I'm not full at all!"

"Now that it's noon, my stomach is naturally hungry again."

Sun Wukong, hearing these words from Marshal Tianpeng, could not help but curl his lips and say:

"You fool, you are hungry now, but you also know that a celestial change occurred here not long ago. I, Old Sun, cannot go out to beg for food for you, you fool, at such a time."

"Otherwise, if a monster comes, can you protect Master's safety alone?"

"Even if we want to eat, we should wait until we have passed this mountain ridge!"

Marshal Tianpeng nodded upon hearing this and said: "Senior Brother is right; it should be so, it should be so."

"It's nothing for me, Old Pig, to go hungry for a meal!"

Just as Sun Wukong said, if Sun Wukong went to beg for food, Marshal Tianpeng had no confidence that he could protect Tang Sanzang's safety alone, so in this situation, Marshal Tianpeng naturally had to go hungry.

Fortunately, Marshal Tianpeng was a Daluo Jinxian-level cultivator; let alone going hungry for one meal, even if he went hungry for a month, other than making Marshal Tianpeng feel uncomfortable, there would be no problems.

"Master, you also have to suffer and go hungry for a meal; after all, life is more important."

Marshal Tianpeng, as a cultivator, could endure hunger, but Tang Sanzang was a mortal and could not go hungry for long.

Tang Sanzang waved his hand upon hearing this and said without caring at all:

"It is just a meal; it does not matter to me. Let us follow what Wukong says."

"Right now, in the middle of this mountain, there are no villages ahead or shops behind; it is likely a place where monsters lurk, so it is better for us to be careful."

Just at this moment, suddenly, there was movement in the grass ahead of them.

"Monkey Brother, could it be a monster?"

Marshal Tianpeng pointed at the movement in the grass ahead, assumed a defensive posture, and asked Sun Wukong.

"You fool, you are too cautious; ahead is a mortal, hmm—a female benefactor!"

Sun Wukong, using his divine ability, the Fiery Eyes, saw through the woman hiding in the grass ahead at a glance.
