Everything seemed ordinary.
But that was just the surface.
In his perception, Sun Wukong detected many strong presences, all hidden among the demon horde, indiscernible unless one probed carefully.
Just as he was about to delve deeper, Zhu Ling from the spiritual platform suddenly made contact.
"Master, there are great demons lying in wait here, we cannot proceed further or we will be discovered!"
Sun Wukong's figure halted, then he nodded and landed on a branch nearby.
"Great demons? Are they very strong?"
Zhu Ling said, "Very strong, they are likely Spiritual Sense great demons, skilled in detection, and they are the scouts of the Pig Demon."
"How do you know so much?"
Sun Wukong was curious.
It seemed that Zhu Ling knew even the details of defensive arrangements; there was much he himself didn't know about the bead.
