Kang-Jin Loong
Background
Kang-Jin Loong was one of the many constellation deities alongside the [Dawnstar](/dawnstar), and left to aid Wukong's fight against [Yellowbrow](/yellowbrow). Following Wukong's death, Dawnstar would mysteriously disappear, and the released Yellow Brow was suspiciously having a new banquet. Believing that Yellowbrow had something to do with Dawnstar's disappearance, Kang-Jin Loong infiltrated Yellowbrow's banquet but was captured instead.
Unlike before, no one would come to her rescue, and Kang-Jin Loong languished as Yellowbrow attempted to break her will. When Kang-Jin refused to surrender, he sucked her inside his seed sac, where she found Wukong's [Hubris Nose](/hubris-nose). In disbelief, and being misled into thinking that Yellow Brow had subdued both Wukong and others of his power, Kang-Jin finally knelt and submitted to her enemy.
Description
Halfway to the west, the journey long,
Returning to the homeland, where dreams belong.
Strengthen and weaken by the mighty sack,
Principles falter, on a misguided track.
Kang-Jin Loong, one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, is the second constellation of the Azure Loong of the East. With a sharp horn on her forehead, she once drilled through the Gold Cymbals to rescue the Great Sage. Since then, the constellation officers have upheld the principle of "staying sharp", leading many immortals to believe that some strange influence had invaded their consciousness.
One day, during the roll call in the Dome of Stars, the Dawnstar was missing. Despite thorough inquiries, no one knew his whereabouts. Coincidentally, Yellowbrow returned to the New West to host a grand ceremony, inviting various yaoguais, gods, immortals, and Buddhas to attend. Hearing the news, Kang-Jin Loong sought permission from the Celestial Court and attended the ceremony, intending to secretly investigate the Dawnstar's disappearance. However, like the Dawnstar, Kang-Jin Loong also vanished without a trace.
The constellation officers speculated and compared notes, realizing that both the Dawnstar and Kang-Jin Loong had once done the Great Sage big favors. They suspected a connection with the Great Sage. Reflecting on their past interactions with the Great Sage, they grew fearful. Kui-Mu Wolf scoffed, "Though that monkey ruined my plans, I still respect him. But you all, who always boasted about your friendship with that monkey, why are you silent now?"
Location
Not long after [Macaque Chief](/macaque-chief), you will come to a cutscene where the [Destined One](/destined-one) is transformed into a bat. After the Destined One returns to normal, you will be at Mirrormere, a big frozen lake. Just head to the center of the lake, towards the building, and a cutscene will start, after which you will fight Kang-Jin Loong.
Upon its defeat, Kang-Jin Loong will drop [Starlit Cloud-Bidden Antler](/starlit-cloud-bidden-antler).
Behavior
Kang Jinlong stays mostly in the air the entire fight. Its normal attacks include lightning-infused claw attacks and a lightning-infused tail smash attack. Its has a wind-based short but wide range breath attack and long range lightning breath attack. It can throw a long range ground lightning attack, that hits anything on its path. Kang Jinlong has a special attack, summoning multiple lightning bolts that hit the whole area for several seconds.
The player fights the Kang-Jin Loong in the teaser video. The video ends with the player being imprisoned within a pair of golden cymbals.
The background is from the novel [Journey to the West](/journey-to-the-west), Chapter 65: "Fiends set up falsely the Small Thunderclap; The four pilgrims all meet a great ordeal."
The Tang monks passing through a mountain came upon The Small Thunderclap Monastery. By mistake, the Tang Monk thought it was the Spirit Mountain, and he entered the monastery to worship. It was actually an edifice set up by a fiendish monster to ensnare the master and his disciples.
Wukong is imprisoned within a pair of golden cymbals. In sheer desperation, Wukong made the magic sign again and recited the spell (唵咪静法界，乾元亨利贞) to summon the Guardian of Five Quarters, the Six Gods of Light and the Six Gods of Darkness, and the Eighteen Guardians of Monasteries, who gathered outside the golden cymbals. Wukong asks them to free himself but tries unsuccessfully.
The Guardian of Five Quarters mounted the auspicious luminosity to the Heavenly Court, seeking aid.
The Jade Emperor at once gave this decree: "Let the Twenty-Eight Constellations go quickly to subdue the fiends and bring deliverance to the pilgrims."
The Twenty-Eight Constellations tried for two hours with no luck. Finally, at the top of the cymbals where they joined, Gullet the Gold Dragon attempted to stick the horn through.
The edge of the cymbals, however, did not behave like any metallic object at all; instead, they seemed to have been made of skin and flesh, which had the horn of Gullet the Gold Dragon in a viselike grip. There was not the slightest crack anywhere around the horn.
Marvelous Great Sage! He (Wukong) changed the golden-hooped rod into a steel drill and drilled a hole in the tip of the horn. Transforming his body into the size of a mustard seed, he stuck himself inside the hole and yelled, “Pull the horn out! Pull the horn out!” Again, the Constellation exerted who knows how much strength before he yanked it out and fell exhausted to the ground.
Although thankful for finally being rescued, Wukong, in a fit of rage, destroyed the golden cymbal that trapped him, waking up everyone in the temple and resulting in a battle. Yellow Brow would subdue Wukong's party by using his seed sack to suck everyone in and drain their energy before releasing them to be tied up. Only Wukong escaped as he transformed himself smaller to escape his binds before helping Kang-Jin Loong and the others escape.
After being freed Wukong, Kang-Jin Loong and everyone except Wukong waited outside as he needed to recover the stolen baggage which contained both his party's passports and the robe gifted to the Tang Monk by Buddha. The attempt would go awry when one of the crates breaks loose and wakes up both Yellow Brow and his followers. In the melee that ensued, Yellow Brow used his seed sack a second time, sucking in everyone except Wukong, who fled in defeat. This time, Kang-Jin Loong and the other constellation deities would be held in a dungeon and kept under heavy surveillance.
With the help of [Maitreya](/maitreya) Buddha, Wukong successfully defeated Yellow Brow and rescued his captured allies. Kang Jin-Loong and the other constellation deities would be escorted back to their respective posts before the Tang Monk returned to his journey.
