I still feel the tremble in my staff when I recall the first time I faced Yin Tiger, blades echoing in that smoke-filled forge. The air hung thick like forgotten prayers in Zodiac Village, a realm hidden behind the Ruyi Scroll’s shimmering promise. Before that encounter, my Curios felt like caged birds—two lonely artifacts humming with untapped potential against bosses whose roars shook heaven itself. That scroll wasn’t just paper; it was a key to rewriting destiny.
Chapter Three’s Chen Loong quest tested every ounce of my Monkey King spirit. When the Ruyi Scroll finally warmed my palms, time folded. Suddenly, I stood in Zodiac Village—a place where constellations whispered secrets to anvils. To the left, where embers danced like fireflies, waited the blacksmith. Oh, that sly fox! His "Challenge" option seemed innocent, just another cog in the grind. Little did I know I’d be trading blows with Yin Tiger himself.
That battle was pure poetry in chaos. Each parry rang like temple bells, my staff meeting his cleaver under moonless skies. When Yin Tiger finally yielded, something shifted—not just in the village, but in my very bones. The Ebow Flow Transformation surged through me, electric and wild. And when I approached the anvil again? No "Challenge." Just two words gleaming like newfound gold: Equip More Curios.
That extra slot? Game-changer, baby. Suddenly my Thunderhoof Ring could waltz with Void-Siphing Amulet, turning bosses into playgrounds. The weight of three Curios? Felt like wearing stormclouds as armor.
