Journey to the West: After the Great Sage listened to the advice, the three realms were all confused

Chapter 1248 Aren't you worried?

As for Sun Wukong's near-exhaustion appearance, there is another explanation in Pale's interpretation.

On the surface, it seems that Sun Wukong had experienced some mentally exhausting event, which led to his current weak state.

But based on Cang Bai's understanding of Sun Wukong, this person in front of him would never fight an unprepared battle.

In other words, the other party's weak expression might be a deliberate attempt to test him.

Fortunately, Pale didn't intend to attack Sun Wukong at this time.

We need to find out where those masked men are before we can talk anything else.

Thinking of the pale scene, he immediately asked Sun Wukong with concern where those mysterious masked people had gone.

"...There are no signs of damage around here. Could it be that they already knew how to leave this place?" Pale murmured.

If that's really the case, then things are getting quite serious.

This proves that the other party not only kept an eye on them from the beginning, but also had certain preconceived notions about the situation here.

Pale thought he was the mantis catching the cicada, but unexpectedly, the oriole behind him beat him to it.

I just don't know who those masked men are.

Sun Wukong shook his head, his expression looking even more grim: "I don't know... I followed their scent here, and then they suddenly disappeared. No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any trace of them."

Pale-faced and muttering to himself, he paced back and forth anxiously.

He tried to find a way to track down those people, but due to his lack of ability, he could only reject them one by one.

"Damn it, that's really awful... Those cunning guys must have used some special tools to escape so quickly."

Sun Wukong glanced at Pale and said slowly, "Perhaps we should go back and tell the others this news, so that Chairman Lu and the others can be mentally prepared."

"However, the curse on you may really be impossible to remove, since that weapon is now in someone else's hands."

Hearing this, he looked pale, but his expression was rather intriguing.

He didn't even realize what Sun Wukong was saying; his mind was a jumbled mess, and all his attention was focused on the weapon.

Pale murmured, "We need to get back quickly, find reinforcements, and search for the weapons... We absolutely cannot let them fall into the hands of anyone else."

He was completely unaware of how strange Sun Wukong's gaze was beside him.

The reason Sun Wukong's expression was strange was because he had discovered something bizarre.

More than the curse upon himself, Pale was terrified that his weapon was about to fall into the hands of others.

This is unreasonable.

Unless Pale has some kind of backing, knowing about the curse on him, it cannot have any special effect on him.

Otherwise, the other party's behavior would be unreasonable.

Which one could it be? Sun Wukong silently speculated in his mind.

But regardless of which one it is, it is conceivable that Sun Wukong's vigilance towards the pale had reached its peak.

This guy's up to no good!

Although Sun Wukong had already made a series of judgments in his mind, he did not reveal them at all.

Instead, he asked Pale with concern how they planned to leave.

"The materials here are unusual; getting out of here won't be easy. Pale, do you have a way to get out smoothly?"

Sun Wukong stared intently at Pale, as if he were placing all his hopes on Pale.

Pale shook his head and looked helplessly at Sun Wukong, saying, "Although I really want to tell you how to leave, unfortunately, this is my first time here."

The implication is that Sun Wukong has come to the wrong person, and he doesn't know how to leave unscathed.

Looking at the pale, helpless face, Sun Wukong slowly narrowed his eyes.

He scrutinized Pale from head to toe, as if trying to gauge the accuracy of Pale's words.

Pale was also very frank, not avoiding Sun Wukong's gaze, and directly looked up to accept Sun Wukong's judgment.

After looking at it for a long time without figuring it out, Sun Wukong sighed, "That's it, we're probably going to be trapped here to die. Let's go back and write our wills!"

"Who knows, maybe in the future, someone will stumble upon this place by chance, and our wills will come in handy."

After saying this, Sun Wukong turned around and was about to return to the secret room, looking like he was courting death.

Upon hearing this, Pale followed, but he remained optimistic about whether the two of them would be trapped there and die.

"Although we can't open a passage out from inside, don't forget that we told Yin Youyou before we came here. Presumably, she will be able to rescue us successfully."

At most, we'll have to stay in this secret room for a day and a night.

This is not a challenge for them, so Sun Wukong's self-abandonment is completely unnecessary.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong felt as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and he immediately snapped out of his previous lifeless state.

"You're right, I had forgotten about this backup option." Sun Wukong laughed and then casually found an empty spot to sit down and pretend to doze off.

Pale, who was standing silently beside Sun Wukong, was still a little unaccustomed to the sudden quietness of Sun Wukong.

At this moment, all expression vanished from his face as he secretly observed the sleeping Sun Wukong.

In fact, from the beginning until now, he has had one question lingering in his mind that he has been unable to answer.

Did that weapon really fall into the hands of those masked men?

Just now, consumed by anger, Pale hadn't yet realized the problem.

But now, as he gradually calms down, he finds it hard not to think about what Sun Wukong's behavior really represents.

"Aren't you worried?" Pale thought for a moment, and finally voiced the question in his mind.

Hearing these words, Sun Wukong did not open his eyes, but he responded with a weak question: "What do I have to worry about?"

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's nonchalant question, Pale became even more suspicious, wondering if there were some unknown secrets behind this.

For example, the weapon was never actually stolen; Sun Wukong secretly switched it and hid it.

However, he didn't show it on his face, still wearing a worried expression:

"Weapons! If those things don't fall into the hands of our own people, they become an uncontrollable threat. Aren't you worried at all?"

Completely unaware that Pale had already guessed the truth, Sun Wukong showed no panic whatsoever and calmly said:

"The premise of our concern is that we need to know who those masked people are, otherwise we're just worrying in vain."
