The Leopard Demon's idea was quite simple. With three disciples possessing great supernatural powers protecting Tang Monk, confronting them head-on was definitely not an option, so it could only resort to cunning strategies.
It happened to know that the nearby river's water level was very high, posing a significant threat to the local folks, so the Leopard Demon pretended to be compassionate to win Tang Monk's trust.
As long as it could gain Tang Monk's trust, it would then invite the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team into its demon lair, where dealing with them would be much easier, wouldn't it?
This was what the Leopard Demon had in mind, and was exactly what it did.
Currently, the Leopard Demon felt a lingering fear, while secretly feeling fortunate.
When Sun Wukong casually tossed the Ruyi Golden Cudgel down, it calmed the turbulent river completely, proving the strength of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team was indeed far greater than anticipated.
