Episode 9 recap: The mole strategist investigates the spy.
The reason why the Butterfly Queen was able to return safely is also due to the work done by the mole strategist at the Spider's Nest. When the Butterfly King saw that the Butterfly Queen was fine, he no longer troubled the Linglong Tower and released both Linglong Tower and the mole strategist. When Linglong Tower returned, all the demons were extremely excited. What excited them even more was that after the construction of the Huaboneck Mountain road, the travel route of Tang Seng and his disciples had once again returned to its original path. The demons thought this was the result of the Linglong Tower's road construction and supported him even more.
The mole strategist received a piece of information that the Heavenly Court had sent spies to every demon cave. He believed that Huaboneck Mountain could not escape this, and the spy sent by the Heavenly Court was likely the panda that the villagers had seen. In order to find the spy, the mole strategist decided to organize a team-building activity. Seeing that everyone was not enthusiastic about the team-building, he revealed the most enticing aspect of the activity: not only would there be a free lunch during the team-building, but there would also be generous prizes.
The first activity of the team-building was to find Tang Seng in the bamboo tube. Linglong Tower didn't know what the mole strategist was up to, but he saw the bamboo tube covered in red cloth in front of him. He put on a leadership posture and didn't want to compete with his subordinates for these honors. However, the mole strategist insisted on participation, leaving Linglong Tower with no choice but to agree.
After the team-building started, Director Hu and Pang Zong Guan tried to smash and break the bamboo tube in front of them, but no matter how long they tried, the bamboo tube remained intact. Even Tu Ye, whose strength was overwhelming, used all his strength, but the bamboo tube remained undamaged. Linglong Tower smelled the fragrance emanating from the bamboo tube and became intoxicated, just like an alcoholic smelling alcohol. He picked up the bamboo tube and without hesitation, bit into it. He chewed on the bamboo tube like he was eating a carrot and swallowed it.
Seeing that Linglong Tower's method was effective, Tu Ye and others began to imitate him. After finishing the bamboo tubes, Linglong Tower wanted to go to the toilet and accidentally saw Daji inspecting feces. When he asked what Daji was doing, Daji called him aside and quietly told him that he was acting on the orders of the mole strategist. Upon hearing Daji's words, Linglong Tower realized that the mole strategist was likely searching for infiltrators. In order to avoid arousing suspicion from the mole strategist, during the second competition, Linglong Tower deliberately pretended to be clumsy and fell to the ground while crossing obstacles.
After all the demons crossed the obstacles, the mole strategist approached the wizard who had been observing nearby and asked if he had discovered who the spy was. The witch shook her head and told the mole strategist that she had not found anyone yet, and that everyone had passed the test except for the fatty who had just fallen and the mole strategist.
