In the eastern region of the Ghost Mountain, the human heroes could also feel the earth quaking violently.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven looked a bit sullen, his eyes downcast in frustration.
He knew that the only one who could cause such a ruckus was the Monkey Spirit King.
This had happened before. When the Primeval Lord of Heaven showed the blended bloodline to the Monkey Spirit King, the earth trembled, similar to now.
Such a violent reaction could only mean that the Monkey Spirit King reacted strongly to the wolf teeth, and that he was about to wake up.
The real Snake Goddess, real Fuxi, Zhurong and Chiyou all knew what the quaking earth entailed.
Everyone stood about anxiously, and the atmosphere darkened with worry.
No one was willing to sit and wait for imminent death.
"If the Monkey Spirit King really wakes up, will the Monkey Masters attack us?" a human hero asked.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven nodded affirmatively. "Yes."
They were just vassals to the Monkey Masters in the Ghost Mountain.
The Monkey Masters wouldn't hesitate to abandon vassals.
"Should we try to fight back?" asked Emperor Charm apprehensively.
"Of course," answered Fuxi without hesitation.
Even if death was imminent, there was no way they were going to die without putting up a fight.
They all knew the consequence of their resistance.
Even if they had the Light of Annihilation and the hatred-level Treacherous Beings on their side, they were still no match for the Monkey Masters.
Moreover, the Monkey Spirit King was bound to wake up soon. When he did, the disparity in strength would be unfathomable.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The vibrations of the Ghost Mountain came one after another, becoming more and more intense with each one that passed.
Zen frowned deeply as he observed the looks of uneasiness in his companions. "Is there any way to escape?"
The Primeval Lord of Heaven shook his head sadly. "Not in this condition."
At least, there was a chance for the Great Ghost Priests to leave.
But they had to ask permission from the Monkey Masters first. Otherwise they could only leave if they were assigned tasks.
Before, the Primeval Lord of Heaven had once devised a plan to repair the passageway of the Night View Island, and they wanted to give it a try. So, the Monkey Masters had allowed them to temporarily leave the Ghost Mountain.
However, his plan had failed, and the passageway of the Night View Island remained broken.
Now, the human race was practically under house arrest. The chances of them being allowed to leave were slim.
At this point, everyone was at a loss for ideas. Just then, the vibrations ringing throughout the mountain intensified to an almost unbearable level.
The whole mountain shook violently, as though it were about to snap any second now.
Rumble! Crack!
Just then, a loud crack rang out from within the mountain, as though an eggshell had been cracked, except the noise was magnified a thousand times.
Upon hearing this deafening sound, everyone exchanged anxious glances.
"Strange. Even if the Ghost Master woke up, he wouldn't make such a sound..."
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The cracks continued to climb along the Ghost Mountain, until they reached the east.
Boom!
All of a sudden, the mountain collapsed in half!
Light streamed into the cave as chunks of the mountain began to crumble.
Fuxi's eyes flashed as though he had suddenly realized something. In a heartbeat, he dashed out into the mountainside.
As he looked at something in the distance, his mouth fell open in shock and his eyes were filled with horror.
"Fuxi, what's wrong?"
The Snake Goddess shuddered slightly. She had no idea what would make Fuxi react in such a way. Following closely behind, she too stepped out into the light to see what Fuxi was looking at. Then, her body began to tremble violently.
In the distance, a giant ape the size of a mountain was ravaging through the debris that was once the Ghost Mountain.
"The Monkey Spirit King smashed the Ghost Mountain apart!"
"We can leave!"
"This is our chance to escape!"
Overcome with relief and joy, the human heroes began to jump in excitement.
