Chapter 22: Dark Moon Revives the Demon Lord and Exiles
The night is filled with floating clouds, the moon is shining brightly, the years in heaven and on earth are endless, the blue sky and the underworld are incalculable. How many times have I ever achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven? Who lowered the curtain? Today is my destiny, and tomorrow I will take you back.

Somewhere in the dense forest of Ziyun Mountain, a golden light appeared, and the three of them returned to this place again.

The only difference from the previous time was that it was already late at night in Ziyun Mountain.

Lo Enzo and the wild boar finally found two Buddhist shrines from the Bull Demon King, rescued Mixian Mountain, and made a big fuss in Moyun Cave before leaving.

However, the three of them were confused again. Ever since they heard what Red Boy said in the Flaming Mountain, they felt a little unsure.

As the previous commotion ended, their excited mood gradually turned into loneliness. After all, no one wanted to be trapped in the world of Black Myth forever.

Now they have defeated many monsters and passed through many levels, but they still don’t know where this journey to the West will end.

“Do we have to go through all 81 difficulties before it’s over?”

“Sigh——” Lorenzo let out a long sigh, and even he felt a little exhausted.

Under the bright moonlight, the shadows of the trees swayed, and a figure pushed aside the branches and came to the side of the few people.

“Why are you three so sad?” a female voice sounded.

When they turned around, they saw that the person coming was a strange man with a snake body and a human head.

Mixianshan was stunned for a moment and said foolishly: “Beautiful snake!”

The beautiful snake smiled slightly, without commenting, and continued: “You three should be here for the last Buddhist shrine in Ziyun Mountain. If you get lost, I can lead the way for you.”

Luo Enzuo stepped forward and saluted respectfully, then said: “You are the plot NPC of Ziyun Mountain, right? We have some questions to ask you, I wonder if you can give me an answer.”

“Haha, you’re joking, little master. If you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know. Just tell me.”

“We are here for the Buddhist shrines, but we heard in the Flame Mountain that many of the Buddhist shrines on the journey to the west have been destroyed. Is this true?”

“good.”

“In that case, you must also know that we, the destined ones, must gather all the shrines to solve all the mysteries. Only by gathering all the shrines can we return to our original world…”

Lo Enzo looked at the smiling but silent beautiful snake and continued, “Well, I just want to know, since the shrine is incomplete, we will never be able to complete this task, so why waste our efforts in the future?”

The beautiful snake chuckled and said, “So that’s what you’re worried about. In fact, the shrine is not important. Although most of the shrine has been destroyed, the magical weapons left in the shrine are not there. Those things are the key.

Your mission is to collect all the items hidden in the ninety-nine and eighty-one shrines, so that you can solve all the mysteries of this world and escape.”

“Eighty-one? That’s so many. How long will it take us to find them? Oh my God! I want to go home!” Mixianshan collapsed.

“Don’t worry. In fact, by now that you have come here, you have already collected most of the treasures from the Buddhist shrines that have not been destroyed. The remaining treasures from the Buddhist shrines that have been deliberately destroyed are waiting for you at the last checkpoint.”

Following the answer from the beautiful snake, hope was rekindled in the hearts of the three people.

“So that’s how it is.” Lorenzo suddenly realized, and then asked, “Then we are relieved. Please lead us to find the last Buddhist shrine here.”

After saying this, the beautiful snake turned and went into the dense woods, and only the voice rang out: “Please follow me.”

Mixianshan and others followed.

Soon, he was brought to a cliff by the beautiful snake. In front of him was a temple wrapped in countless thick branches. Among the tangled branches above the temple was a large mass of unknown flesh and blood.

Red light surged in the meat ball, vitality was born, and terrifying pressure descended!

Obviously, this is the legendary BOSS at the end of Ziyun Mountain – the Demon Lord Huiyue.

The beautiful snake escaped at the speed of light, but Lo Enzo and the other two didn’t say anything. Their strength was no longer what it used to be, and they could easily defeat the small “Dark Moon Demon Lord”.

A sound of Kunming resounded through the night sky.

“Oh oh oh!”

The Dark Moon Demon Lord, who looked like a giant rooster, instantly extended one side of his wing and threw out dozens of flying swords made of magic power, stabbing at everyone.

Mixianshan took the lead and transformed into Shi Linlin to block the front, and all the magic flying swords were blocked.

“It doesn’t hurt! Hey, it doesn’t hurt at all!” Mixianshan was extremely arrogant. Lo Enzo and the big wild boar also took the opportunity to go around from the flank and launched the most violent attack on the chicken feet.

Lo Enzo swung his arms with great force and hit the left chicken foot of the Dark Moon Demon Lord with a stick.

The big wild boar split into two incarnations and used the golden ring to attack the other chicken foot of the BOSS.

Luo Enzo was a little puzzled: “Big wild boar, what are you waiting for if you don’t use the law of heaven and earth?”

“No, that magical power is too overbearing and cannot be used continuously.” The wild boar also wanted to use it, but unfortunately, he had a big battle with the Bull Demon King before and could not use the magic of heaven and earth again at this moment.

“Okay, that’s fine.” Lo Enzo instantly used his supernatural powers to beat the Dark Moon Demon Lord, forcing him to retreat again and again.

“Oh——” the shrill cry of a rooster resounded through the sky again.

The BOSS is angry!

Phase 2, start!
Scarlet light flickered in its flesh and blood. After it let out a long roar towards the sky, boundless red air waves swept across the sky and earth, and the entire world was dyed blood red.

The originally bright and clear moonlight was also shrouded in a hint of scarlet.

The blood moon was in the sky, and three people under the moon were fighting against the second-stage Dark Moon Demon Lord.

The immobilization spell made the Demon Lord’s huge body freeze instantly, and a gust of flying sand and rocks from the Rice Noodle Mountain crashed into the chest of the Dark Moon Demon Lord. The red tide in Loenzo’s hand rose up into flames several feet high, sweeping over its body.

“boom!”

Suddenly, a piece of scorpion’s tail knocked Mixianshan away.

The Demon Lord spat a mouthful of adult phlegm at the 300-pound wild boar, and instantly black mist dispersed, blocking everyone’s vision.

Lo Enzo used his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils to catch up a few steps, but he saw the Dark Moon Demon Lord waving his scorpion tail, releasing several red sharp rays, forcing Lo Enzo back.

“careful!”

In the next moment, the Demon Lord Huiyue went all out, his entire body suspended in the air, and countless magical swords shot towards the three people.

“Freeze!” The wild boar used the immobilization technique again, but was unable to break it.

He had to release countless clones to disperse the firepower, which allowed the three of them to withstand this fierce attack.

“go with!”

The golden ring flew out and directly caught one of the Demon Lord’s wings. Loenzo rushed forward, using all his magical powers and launching the final attack with a loud shout.

Boom!Boom!
Two heavy blows on its head finally knocked it down.

The red moon faded, and the world returned to clarity.

The three of them were exhausted and panting.

At this moment, the beautiful snake came out from nowhere and looked at the Dark Moon Demon Lord who was lying on the ground in front of her. Her eyes were extremely complicated, and it was hard to tell whether it was regret or determination.

Finally, he just sighed and said to everyone: “This last shrine is in its flesh and blood. Now it has been freed, you can take it for yourself.”

After saying that, Lo Enzo took out a Buddhist shrine from the head of the Dark Moon Demon Lord. After opening it, he found an ordinary-looking “embroidery needle” hidden inside.

“This is?”

“This item is the key to defeating the enemy in the next level. The next enemy you will face is the culprit who imprisoned the Dark Moon Demon Lord here, and is also one of the masterminds behind the current situation in the world.”

Lo Enzo nodded, then asked, “Who are you? How do you know so much?”

Such important information could not possibly be known by a small NPC. The identity of the beautiful snake in front of him must be of great importance. Lo Enzo became curious about her identity.

However, the beautiful snake did not answer his question, but waved her hand, and the golden light from the shrine burst into life, instantly enveloping the three people.

“I am just a poor man who has to survive in this world. The journey ahead will be a million times more dangerous than before. You must be extremely careful.”

When the three heard this sentence, they disappeared from the spot.
