CHAPTER 824 THE MONKEY CHANGED HIS ATTITUDE

Darren landed in front of Naomi's cottage.

"Naomi, I need your help." Anxiety laced Darren's voice as he called the girl.

A beautiful figure quickly flew out.

"What do you want?"

"Help me release the monkey." Darren came straight to the point.

"No way!" Naomi shook her head. Then she said, "The monkey is fierce. Aunt Caroline won't be happy

if I release him."

"I have already spoken with Caroline, and she agreed," Darren said.

"Really? Wait, let me check." Naomi glared at Darren suspiciously before using her spiritual sense to

speak with her aunt.

"Well, it seems that you are right. She has agreed to spare the monkey. But, if you want my help, you

have to give me something in return, ha-ha." Naomi smiled. Mischief danced in her beautiful eyes as

she teased Darren.

Darren laughed before releasing a sigh of resignation. "Okay. What do you want?"

"I haven't thought of anything yet. How about I tell you later?"

"Agreed. Now, come with me. We'd better go as soon as possible, or the monkey will die." Darren

turned and set off.

The monkey had been grilled for so long that his body was completely charred. It was hard to detect his

breath of life.

Naomi made a complex gesture with her hands and muttered mysterious incantations.

Runes flew out, one by one from her fingers. After a moment, the rope on the monkey loosened.

Darren flew to catch the monkey before he fell to the ground.

"Okay, it's done."

"Thank you."

"Don't forget! You owe me a favor. I'm going to practice my skills now. Bye!" Naomi left without another

word.

Darren placed the monkey on the ground and infused spiritual energy into his body to heal his wounds.

After three days, the monkey's body returned to normal. He even grew new skin!

"How are you feeling?"

"Well…" the monkey said as he opened his eyes. "You really saved me."

It had been over two months since they last spoke. Even though Darren had assured the monkey that

he would rescue him, the monkey thought that Darren was lying. Now that he had been saved, the

monkey knew that Darren was trustworthy.

"Of course! I always keep my promises. It's my principle," Darren replied with a smile.

"Thank…" The monkey was too shy to express his gratitude, so he swallowed the word "you."

Half a month later, the monkey had completely recovered.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

One day, as the monkey and Darren were talking, a hot wind swept past them. In a flash, a fiery red

shadow appeared. It was Caroline.

"Sizz!" The monkey gritted his teeth and jumped up from the ground.

"What? Would you like to fight me again?" Caroline asked with a raised eyebrow.

Startled, the monkey bowed his head and took a step back.

"You're a strong rival. I admit defeat."

Caroline glanced at the monkey with surprise, and asked, "How strange for you to admit defeat! Are

you playing some tricks?"

The change in the monkey's attitude had surprised not only Caroline but Darren as well.

"I've never been invincible. There is no need to deceive myself anymore."

Darren was surprised and relieved when he heard the monkey's explanation.

"Ha-ha, you've matured. 'Know thyself' is always the first step toward improvement," Darren said with

an encouraging smile.

"Sort of," replied the monkey with a shrug.

"That's good. But remember this. If you make trouble again, I won't spare you." Caroline left after

saying that.

Unlike before, the monkey didn't explode with rage when Caroline threatened him. Instead, he shook

his head and laughed.

"I've been fooling myself all this time. I lied to myself that I was invincible. In fact, countless creatures in

this sea area are powerful enough to kill me. I forced myself to put on a mask, and eventually, it

exhausted me," the monkey explained.

"Your change really surprises me," Darren exclaimed. Then, he stretched his hand toward the monkey

and said, "Congratulations!"

The monkey extended his hand and shook Darren's.

"What do you plan to do in the future?" Darren asked.

"Aren't you going to save Barnes the Holy? I could accompany you. At that time, I won't complain if he C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

decides to kill me. After all, I will live miserably no matter where I go. It's useless to avoid it. I'd better

face him."

"Okay. If Finley and I get the chance to save Barnes the Holy, we will put forward the condition that he

forgives you first," Darren promised.

"Thank you, Darren." The monkey cupped his hands and bowed to Darren.

"Don't be so formal. How about we forget about past grudges? We are now friends.

I need to focus on my cultivation for a bit now. Why don't you look around or cultivate? Do what suits

you. But wait for me."

The monkey nodded, and Darren left.

As the monkey raised his head and looked deep into the island, his eyes surged with rage. A moment

later, he controlled his emotions, and the rage disappeared.

Two years later, Darren was still immersed in his practice.

Boom!

The island suddenly trembled as if there had been a big earthquake.

Darren suddenly woke from his meditation.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two figures flew toward Darren.

"Darren, we have bad news! Aunt Caroline went to the Shura Abyss alone. Now, it seems as though

something bad has happened!" Augustine explained hurriedly.

Darren frowned.

"I had almost succeeded in comprehending the skill. Why did she go there alone?"

"We don't know yet. We thought it would be wiser to fetch you before we investigate. Come and have a

look with us, please? I'm afraid that she might be in danger." Naomi also appeared very anxious.

Darren hesitated for a brief moment.

He was at a critical juncture in his cultivation. As he was not powerful enough to help Caroline yet, he

would be of no assistance to her if there was indeed an accident.

"Darren, what should we do? Please decide quickly." Naomi stamped her foot as she implored Darren

to hurry. After all, the longer they waited, the worse Aunt Caroline's condition would be.

"Can I go instead of Darren?" The monkey suddenly appeared and offered his assistance.

"What? You?" Naomi and Augustine took two steps back when they saw the monkey.

"His request is reasonable. After all, the monkey is very powerful. This way, I can complete the

cultivation and get the skills I need to help. In the meanwhile, he can investigate the situation. If Aunt

Caroline is trapped, he can help her.

Although Aunt Caroline defeated the monkey earlier, he was only a little weaker than her. Otherwise,

he wouldn't have been able to fight with her for several days and nights in a row," Darren said.

"Then, it is settled. I will accompany you. If that phoenix needs help, I will do what I can. After all, she

was merciful enough to let me go three times," the monkey said calmly.

"Well then, thank you." Darren saluted, and the monkey nodded.

Whoosh!

The monkey set off for the Shura Abyss, while Darren continued his cultivation. He needed to finish the

perfect connection of the last few moves to complete his comprehension.

The monkey, led by Augustine and Naomi, flew for over two hundred thousand kilometers. As they left

the island, a scarlet rock wall appeared before them.

There was a gap several kilometers wide beneath the surface of the precipice, and the inside appeared

bottomless. Blood light rushed out of the abyss and shot straight toward the sky.

The monkey knelt in front of the precipice and looked down.

Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!

He heard the desperate whistling of a phoenix.

"As she has transformed into her real body, she must be in trouble," the monkey said with a grin.

Before the others could react, he jumped into the bottomless blood abyss.

The monkey was familiar with this place. Darren had reported seeing the Inner Fiend and bringing him

here. The monkey had intended to enter the Shura Abyss as he thought that the Inner Fiend was hiding

here. That was why he had come to visit the island where Caroline lived.

As he continued to fall toward the bottom, a huge force burst out and hit the monkey.

Since the monkey was one of the top talents, the considerably weaker power didn't bother him.

After a long while, the red rock walls disappeared, and the monkey finally reached an open

underground space.

Ten kilometers away, a stream of blood light shot into the sky, and Caroline's light red flames flew out.

The monkey flashed and rushed toward that direction.

A flaming phoenix was wildly fighting with a blood-red figure.

"Go to hell!"

The blood-red figure held a long spear and suddenly stabbed her.

"Tweet, tweet, tweet!"

As the blood light pierced the phoenix, her feathers scattered. She looked very embarrassed.

"Do you need my help?"

the monkey asked.
