Chapter 4 A few more months passed and they were doing quite well . Again , the skeleton devil looked at the trio angrily in her magic mirror . The Taotie she had sent out disappointed her and failed to kill them and was killed by a stupid and pongy monkey . Wukong turned out to be cleverer than she had thought but it didn ’ t really matter back then . She decided that she would take on them herself , with new skills and weapons , she was ready to defeat him .
The gang was walking along the path . Suddenly , a whirl of black cloud surrounded them . There was also an unmistakable cackle of the skeleton devil . She formed shape and started to attack Wukong . He was taken surprise but didn ' t show it . He quickly took out his magic staff and fought back to protect his master . The other two companions also joined in the battle to protect their dear master . Just as the skeleton devil ’ s curse hit Master Tang , Wukong leaped in and blocked it for his master . However , he didn ' t lie on the floor and scream or react . He triumphantly tore open his jacket to reveal a bulletproof vest . Once a curse is broken , the devil will be perished forever . She immediately burst into flames and disappeared .
Epilogue The gang finally arrived at India . They had met a throng of friendly monks who agreed to let Master Tang take the prophecy . Tang was awarded by the king and the other three went back to heaven . Although they were apart , they still wrote letters to each other and , well , lived on happily ever after .
