After saying that they would roast and eat him, the women went out to eat. Realizing the emergency, Goku summons the earth god and learns that the women are old spider spirits. Goku disguises himself as a hawk and steals the women’s kimono, and uses this opportunity to rescue Sanzo, and after a long battle with the female monsters who have returned, he dispatches the four female monsters. Before they could feel relieved, the Taoist priest who begged for a place to stay was Hyakuganma, the female monster’s older brother. The three of them except Goku collapse from the poisoned drink, but with Kannon’s help, Goku defeats the centipede spirit.

Sanzo and his friends aim for Tenjiku in high spirits. What will await us before that…?
