In order to eliminate the goblins, they rescued the old man and the pangolin and fought with the goblins one by one. Hong Wa is a strong man, but he is brave and foolhardy. He falls into the swamp and is captured. Cheng Wa is clairvoyant and has ears for the wind, but she was blinded by the fairy's magic mirror and sword. Huang Wa is invulnerable. Because she is outnumbered, she is tied up by the goblin with a strong and soft yin and yang sword. The green baby knew fire skills, but was drunk by the goblin with cold spring wine, and was frozen again. Qingwa has water nature and is drunk by the demon mirror's ecstasy. Lan Wa has the power of invisibility and wants to steal the goblin's wish-fulfilling mirror. In the end, he is sucked into the treasure gourd by Zwa. Zwa is bewitched by the goblins and is captured alive by them. The goblin sent the seven brothers into the alchemy furnace to refine the Seven Heart Pill.
