Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 114 So-called Wisdom

The monk of monks, Magala, lived in a cave on the mountain behind the temple, which was also an extremely sacred place. In mythology, many Hennu monks had received the wisdom of the sacred bull god Dehennu there.

Therefore, these elderly minotaurs walked along with extreme piety, their cautious demeanor suggesting they were afraid of making even the slightest noise.

Even so, just as they reached the outside of the cave...

A steady voice rang out first in the cave.

"You still came."

The voice sounded so kind, so wise, so full of love that just hearing it made the elderly Hennu people want to kneel down.

"It seems things outside have really gotten out of hand..."

"You...you already knew?"

Several elderly minotaurs looked up in astonishment. They had only just arrived, and before that, they hadn't relayed a single thing about what was happening outside to the monks among monks.

But right now, the monk among monks, Magara, who lives deep in the cave, already knows everything.
"hiss……"

Thinking of this, the elderly minotaurs gasped and then lowered their heads again.

Yes, this must be from the wisdom of the sacred bull god. Although the monk among monks, Magala, has never appeared, the sacred bull god, Dehennu, has already revealed everything to him.

"Please tell us, tell us what to do."

Several elderly minotaurs lowered their heads, appearing extremely humble.

They were all waiting, waiting for a response from the cave, waiting for the monk of monks, Makara, to reveal the truth to them.

And then the voice from inside the cave rang out once more.

"Don't worry."

The voice coming from inside the cave said this.

"The God of the Sacred Cow protects His people. The Hennu will be alright. All difficulties are only temporary. Time will eventually be on the Hennu's side."

Upon hearing this, the elderly minotaurs all bowed down, their expressions becoming increasingly devout.

This is the divine message from Dehennu, the god of the sacred cow; it is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be wrong.

And indeed, the oracle of Dehennu, the god of the sacred bull, proved to be correct.

Although the Golden-Winged Roc Demon King was indeed severely injured and escaped, the terrifying Ignivas monkey did not pursue him—heaven knows what happened, but the Ignivas monkey simply went back.

Of course, the monkey Ignivas simply went back. Before leaving, it mentioned the saber-toothed tiger again, but the Hennus couldn't produce one, so it didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, that monkey Ignivas left; he didn't fight his way all the way to the capital.

This is undoubtedly a win.

The Hennu people, who had escaped death, immediately began to celebrate. They all believed that this was the power of the sacred bull god Dehennu. No matter how powerful the monkey Ignivas was, it was ultimately just a creation of the sacred bull god. They even regarded the appearance of the monkey Ignivas as a warning from the sacred bull god to the Hennu people. The reason why the sacred bull god arranged for the appearance of the monkey Ignivas was only to remind the Hennu people.

As for what exactly the Hennu were being reminded of, the monks in the temple had not yet figured it out, but in any case, it was all just an arrangement by the sacred bull god Dehennu.

Now, the monkey Ignivas has left.

The Hennu, of course, won again. "Under the protection of the sacred bull god Dehennu, we will continue to win."

All the Hennu people have this confidence, after all, they have always been so. Under the guidance of the Holy Bull God, they have gradually multiplied and spread. Under the glory of the Holy Bull God, they have even conquered many demon gods... This kind of victory will continue, and continue and continue.

That was what they originally thought.

Until, the terrifying flames raged once again across the land of the Hennu.

"Why are you here again?"

The elderly minotaur monks were dumbfounded when they heard that a messenger covered in blood had brought intelligence from the vicinity of the Great Snow Mountain.

Didn't you already go back? What are you trying to do by coming back?
"Still...still a saber-toothed tiger."

The messenger, covered in blood, spoke in anguish.

This makes absolutely no sense. The Hennu have said before that they don't have saber-toothed tigers, yet that monkey Ignivas actually came to ask for one... How could the Hennu possibly give something they don't have?
Even if you're looking for trouble, you can't just use this one reason, can you?

"Then let the demons..."

The aged minotaurs immediately thought of the solution they had always used.

However, this time, even though the minotaurs sacrificed thousands of black-robed monks, none of the demons were willing to move.

"We were willing to do things before because there were benefits to be gained, but now... how can you really send us to our deaths?"

This was the answer given by the Golden-Winged Roc Demon King, who was still recovering from his serious injuries.

Of course, this was only the side shown to the minotaurs. In reality, the Golden-Winged Roc Demon King's injuries no longer affected his movements. But even if they didn't affect his movements, he didn't want to go and fight that monkey named Ignivas, simply because he now knew clearly what was behind that so-called monkey he was facing, or rather, what was behind the monkey.

"I don't want to be caught and taken back again..."

Realizing this, the Golden-Winged Roc Demon King feigned illness and stayed home while secretly preparing for his escape.

As for where to escape to, the obvious choice is to escape to the west. Even if they don't know what's in the west, it's always better to stay away from that ancient serpent.

However, they would not tell the Hennu people about this. As for the Hennu people with bull heads, all they could know was that the demons were unwilling to fight.

So they had no choice but to return once again to the cave deep in the mountains, to the hermitage of the monk Makara, and to seek the wisdom of the sacred cow god.

This time, however, they weren't so patient. These elderly minotaurs even questioned Magala's words.

"Thinking about it carefully, Magala basically said nothing last time... Was that really a revelation from the Holy Bull God?"

With this in mind, several elderly minotaurs stormed out of the cave.

This time, instead of kneeling on the ground, they looked into the depths of the cave, as if trying to see through the profound darkness.

"I understand what you mean."

Just then, the voice from inside the cave suddenly spoke.

"Since you're so eager to come in, let's just come in and talk."
