"I didn't expect that Sikong Zhen, who was beaten so badly by the Great Sage last time, could recover so quickly. His strength is a bit unclear."
"Storm Dragon, are your injuries okay? Do you need to stop the bleeding?"
"Uh...sss...it hurts...Brother Pig, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that I was hurt...Why did you mention him...Oh yo yo... .”
"..."
The wound on the Storm Dragon King's chest was really terrifying. The thick scales were split into two, the skin and flesh were opened, and blood kept oozing out.
Severe pain hit him, and he grimaced in pain, making him slightly unsteady on his feet.
"I'm just telling you, why can't you help yourself fight, and why are you so seriously injured?"
"Old Zhu... do you think Ben Long... why he has to take you away from Sikong Mansion to prevent you from conflicting with him? He didn't lie. Secondly, it's mainly because I can't... This It’s been a terrible time and I don’t know how long it will take to recover.”
"You really did what Brother Monkey said, it doesn't matter whether you look good or not."
"..."
After Zhu Bajie complained.
He quickly supported the Storm Dragon King.
Although this guy was holding us back tonight, we can't ignore him.
Such a deep wound still needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
"Storm Dragon, where are you staying in the city? I'll take you to treat your wounds, old pig."
"Where to stay? I...here...should I go to Wanhua Building? But, old pig, when did you learn to heal and treat wounds? Are you really good at it?"
"You're so injured and you talk so much, I admire you!"
"..."
I hate that the Storm Dragon King walks too slowly.
Zhu Bajie simply picked him up.
Speeding up at the foot, one pig and one dragon hurried towards Wanhua Tower.
…
And on the other side.
Marco Polo and the two stone lions also arrived at the location that needed to be explored this time, the Royal Palace.
Two stone lions took the lead, followed closely by Marco Polo. One person and two lions cooperated seamlessly, and they were able to come and go freely in this heavily guarded palace.
"It's strange, when did there appear two more stone lions here? There isn't even a door, so having two stone lions seems very abrupt!"
"Why do you care so much? The Empress has said that our mission is only to patrol and guard the palace. Such trivial matters are supervised by those damn princes."
"Be careful, you can't kill the eunuchs. We are agency workers and we cannot discriminate like humans. Besides, agency eunuchs are not the same as real eunuchs. We can just make random parts out of them."
"Yes, yes, brother is right. I made a mistake. I learned what I said from humans and didn't learn it well."
"..."
The two institutional guards patrolling the palace took a look at the two stone lions that appeared on the roadside. After finding nothing unusual, they continued to move forward.
However, not long after they left, the two stone lions began to move, as fast as ghosts, as if teleporting, and their positions kept changing.
"I didn't expect that so many agency people in this palace would have self-awareness. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really a bit weird."
"Shhh, keep your voice down. The agency's hearing is very sensitive. We'd better hurry up and find out what's going on here first."
"Cough cough cough cough... Brother Lion, you are hugging me too tightly and I can't breathe."
"Oh oh oh, shush shush..."
"..."
Shida quickly stretched out his two front legs.
Marco Polo's head emerged from his armpit, and he kept breathing heavily.
Sneaking into the palace was smooth sailing.
But he suffered unprecedented suffering.
"Huhu... Brother Lion, I want to ask... you are obviously... a stone lion... why do you have body odor... I... cough cough cough...
.”
"Polo, this is all normal. You have to be patient. We just look like stone lions, but we are actually flesh and blood. The demon species has a bit of a smell, which is normal."
"But you smell too..."
"No, someone is here again, Polo, don't move."
"..."
There was movement again from the front.
Shida quickly put his limbs together, leaned forward, and hid Marco Polo in his arms.
Lion Er on the other side also made the same movements to cooperate.
"Huh? Why are there two extra stone lions here?"
"Huh huh huh, those stupid guards must have moved it here. Look, they put it in the wrong place."
"As expected, they are stupid guards, a bunch of idiots. They always laugh at our agency eunuchs on weekdays, but they don't care what stupid things they do."
"That's right, isn't it just one more part than us? But then again, we are machine people, not real people, so we don't want that thing to be of any use."
"..."
This time, a group of agency eunuchs passed by.
The lion is big and the lion is two, holding his breath and concentrating, motionless in the eight winds.
Still no flaws were revealed.
"Damn it, there are too many agents in this palace..."
"Brother Lion, can we hurry up? I really... can't stand it anymore."
"I know, I know, second brother, let's speed up and go deeper!"
"Okay, brother."
"..."
that's all.
Shi Da and Shi Er took one step at a time, exploring for who knows how long.
Finally, the entire palace was searched.
However, the results disappointed them.
In the entire palace, except for the agency people, not even a living human being was found, let alone the empress.
"Everyone, what should we do now? It seems that the empress is not in the palace. What should we do next?"
"We are not very familiar with this palace, so there are bound to be some omissions. Tell me, are there any secrets here, such as a secret room or something like that?"
"The secret room? This... even if it exists, how can we find it?"
"Shhhhhhhh...Brother, no, someone is here again."
Just when Marco Polo and the Lion Brothers were worrying about the next exploration work.
There was a rustling sound.
There was actually another wave of agents coming.
Lion Big, Lion Two immediately entered the state and took good postures.
Marco Polo took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and once again got under the lion's armpit.
