  Xuanzang mistakenly ran into seven spider demons in Silk Cave while looking for food. The monkey heard that the spider demons would bathe in a pool every day. He then transformed into an eagle to take away their clothes. Pigsy hit them but got stuck, and the demons fled. The monkey, Pigsy, and Sandy finally saved Xuanzang, and then they went to a Taoist temple owned by the Multiple-Eyed Monster, the brother of the spider demons. The demon disguised himself as a Taoist and offered the group poisoned tea. Xuanzang, Pigsy, and Sandy all drank the tea. The monkey got so angry that he killed the spider demons and fought the demon. The demon was hard to defeat because his belly had thousands of eyes emitting golden light. The monkey eventually defeated the demon with the help of Pilanpo Bodhisattva, and the demon turned into the original form, a centipede.
