In this chapter, we learn that the Snow King's army is preparing to attack the snow kingdom, which is being led by a monkey. The Snow King asks the monkey if he can help him escape, and the monkey responds that he can, but only if he is forced to do so. The snow king asks if the monkey is wounded anywhere else. The monkey replies that he is, and that he has wounds on his body that are not nearly as serious as the ones he received in his last life. He then asks to see the wounds on the monkey's body so that he may make them open when he removes his clothes
