Just then, a little demon blocking the way stopped the group and said to Sun Wukong, "Whew, you went patrolling the mountain this morning, did you happen to run into that what's-his-name, Sun Wukong or Tang Sanzang?"
Sun Wukong replied, "I didn't see them, but I did bump into Zhu Ganglie. Look, here he is hanging, about to be presented to the great king."
The other party, upon hearing this, instantly turned in surprise towards Zhu Ganglie.
He circled around Zhu Ganglie twice, then pinched his plump belly and clicked his tongue, "Indeed, this is some top-quality meat. Whew, seems like you're due for a promotion! When you make it big, don't forget your brothers, alright?"
Sun Wukong laughed, "That's only natural! Don't worry!"
Delighted, the other nodded and stepped aside, signaling that Sun Wukong and the others could enter.
After passing through the third gate, what met their eyes was an enormous cavern!
