"— Could this be the legendary monkey wine?"
With a thought, Zong Shou's soul floated to the northeast corner.
This place was filled with many primitive stone containers of varying sizes. However, without exception, they were all filled with spiritual fruits of various colors.
Legend had it that all monkeys would gather the fruits in the mountains to store. The fruits at the bottom would be crushed by the upper layer before they would produce fruit juice. Then, due to them being squeezed and cut off from the air, after many years of being sealed, they would ferment and turn into wine. Moreover, they were usually really sweet and pure, some were no weaker than celestial wine.
Zong Shou had read about it in books before, but this was the first time he saw it in real life.
Moreover, the monkey wine here was obviously of high quality. These white apes were psychic, and they were also a group of extremely powerful beasts. Most of the spirit fruits that they picked were of high grade.
These beasts formed groups and entered the forest. They were more convenient and stronger than those herb gatherers. Not only did they have enough spiritual fruits, but the quality was also of high quality.
Zong Shou waved his soul power and opened the layer of spiritual fruits. Only to see that at the bottom of the stone containers, there was some liquid that was a thick amber color.
Zong Shou's soul body couldn't smell the fragrance. However, he only felt his mind rippling, and he actually felt a little intoxicated. He couldn't help but laugh to himself, "For this fire element earth vein, I lost 6 bottles of celestial wine. Now that I have taken this monkey wine, I can make up for my losses. Who knows, I might even earn something. As expected, it's a blessing in disguise … "
Looking around, Zong Shou actually found a few leather bags in the stone hall. Who knows where these white apes came from.
Zong Shou first used spells to summon some water to wash them clean. Only then did he pick up the monkey wine and pour it in. He only took those that looked the best and made his soul tremble slightly. After filling up seven leather pouches, he stopped. It wasn't that he was satisfied, but when he was flying, he couldn't bring too much.
As a Night Roamer, once he fought with someone, he could explode with over two hundred thousand kilograms of strength. But a source spirit flying in the air was another matter altogether.
There was nothing else here that could catch his eye. Some of the white apes that were dozens of miles away were also rushing back. Zong Shou was about to leave, but just as he rose into the air, he suddenly felt a burst of surprise. Gazing into the depths of the stone hall, there was a huge boulder in the shape of a bed, with all kinds of beast skins piled on top of it. However, it was not for storage. Instead, it was to make a comfortable little nest. It was just that the smell might be slightly unpleasant.
If he guessed correctly, it should be the throne of the Ape King, the exclusive territory of the leader of the apes.
Zong Shou immediately used a talisman technique to sweep away all the beast skins. He exerted strength once more, and large amounts of sand and stone were lifted up.
When they were ten feet down, they saw a golden light flashing within. Shock flashed across Zong Shou's heart.
"It actually knows to use ores to cover this item. This white ape is really intelligent and can't be underestimated! "
… Only to see that around the golden light, there were all sorts of high purity metal ores. Stacked together, it pretty much covered the spiritual energy fluctuations of this item.
Not only couldn't he sense it from the outside, but even when Zong Shou was inches away, he nearly missed it.
He laughed in his heart. Zong Shou directly used a suction force to suck the golden light over. When it was in front of him, he was shocked.
The item in front of him was roughly three inches in size. There didn't seem to be anything special about it. It was just an ordinary stone. There was some metal on the outer shell, which could be considered ores. However, it was a lower grade spiritual gold.
The only thing that shocked Zong Shou was that there was an extremely strong and sharp aura flowing within.
The moment it entered his hand, it felt like it was going to break through the stone and attack his soul. Zong Shou was slightly shocked, hurriedly using a few talismans to suppress it and return it to calmness.
"Why is it Geng Metal Energy? Who knows what kind it is, for it to be formed in such a grade of metal ore? Could it be that the reason why the ape king mutated was because of this stone? If that's the case, then I have struck it rich! "
At this moment, he didn't have time to analyze it. Zong Shou picked it up and didn't stay any longer. His soul turned into a green streak of light and charged out of the cave.
Just as he reached the entrance of the cave, he heard a furious roar. Looking out, he saw that the ape king with golden patterns on its chest was swiftly climbing up the stone wall. In just a moment, it was close to the entrance of the cave. Its two eyes had already turned red and yellow, filled with anxiousness and rage.
Zong Shou was too lazy to bother, directly rising into the air. With a dash, he passed by it. Just as he was about to continue to climb up, the golden patterned ape king hollered in rage and jumped up. A pair of unformed wings stretched out from the 2 ribs behind its back. In an instant, it flew a thousand feet and continued to pounce towards Zong Shou. It didn't fear this place, it was already close to 8 thousand feet in the air.
Zong Shou also frowned. However, such beasts weren't much higher than him in terms of grade. If they were in a group, then it was okay. However, if they were alone, he really didn't care about them. Even if they had mutated, in his eyes, they weren't worth a mention.
With a thought, the Demon Eye Silver Bear that was wrapped under his soul instantly broke out. In mid-air, it also transformed into a giant bear and swooped down, colliding with the ape king with a loud bang, emitting a muffled tremor. Although he wasn't strong enough, he was able to force the golden patterned white ape to stop.
At this moment, Zong Shou was controlling the lightning tooth sword, following a mysterious trajectory, like a swallow flying into the forest as it glided over. It actually bypassed the two tightly entangled exotic beasts, drawing an extremely nimble arc in the air as it headed straight for the ape king's back.
Just as the sword was about to pierce through its heart, Zong Shou was slightly shocked. He only felt that around this beast, an extremely strong spiritual wave suddenly exploded out. The energy in his body surged, like a really thick steel wall crazily spreading out in all directions.
"Grade 7?"
Zong Shou suppressed that feeling of shock. The sword light suddenly changed, illusionary and flashing, a lightning glow exploding as it continued to stab in at the weakest point of the energy.
However, this sword wasn't able to take the life of this beast. He only managed to injure one of its wings and cut open a huge wound below its ribs. Blood gushed out from the wound.
Although this golden patterned white ape had successfully advanced at the crucial moment, it seemed to know that its situation wasn't good.
It wasn't willing to tangle with Zong Shou's demon eye silver bear anymore. After giving out a tragic cry, it forcefully supported its injured wings and descended. Following which it grabbed a long vine, swinging in the air and returning to the stone wall. He looked up with slight fear in his eyes. He continuously bared his teeth, but he didn't make any moves to attack.
Zong Shou felt that it was a pity. If he killed this ape king, he would be able to obtain a grade 5 beast crystal and soul stone. He might even be able to obtain a spirit beast.
At this moment, the golden patterned white ape had already returned to the stone wall. There were many white apes protecting it. Amongst which there were 6 that were grade 5 and above. There were also hundreds of Fourth Stage White Apes rushing over from all over the mountains and plains. Even if his sword skills were high, he could only look on helplessly.
At this moment, if he didn't leave, the unlucky one would be him.
Keeping the demon eye silver bear, Zong Shou continued to transform into the lightning phoenix form. First, it climbed 12 thousand feet before flapping its wings and flying around.
However, after flying for tens of miles, Zong Shou felt that something wasn't right. Only to see that below, the hundreds of white apes were sprinting swiftly. Scaring the surrounding beasts so much that they all crazily fled.
The one charging at the front was the golden patterned ape king. Even though he was injured, the speed at which he leapt through the dense forest was only slightly slower than his own. In the blink of an eye, he had covered a distance of several tens of kilometers.
"This ape type beasts really hold grudges. Once they offend them, they won't rest until they die. Let's hope that fellow below can chase faster. As long as it is alone, I can slash it down with one sword … "
However, that ape king was obviously smarter than he expected. It didn't advance lightly, maintaining a safe distance from the ape group behind it. It only followed far behind him, its eyes shining fiercely.
Zong Shoxin sighed, knowing that he had caused a lot of trouble this time. His movement speed increased by several times, in just a moment, he was at the peak of the mountain.
When he returned to his body, Zong Shou first sent out a message talisman. Then, he didn't bother about anything else, pulling Chu Xue's hand and sprinting down the mountain. Although Zong Yuan found it weird, he was filled with respect for this prince. He didn't ask much and just followed.
When they returned to the lakeside, Hu Zhongyuan who had gotten the message talisman had already tied the 18 Windrider foals onto the cloud crossing carriage.
Looking at Zong Shou and the others running over, his face was filled with shock, "Prince, what happened? Why are you in such a rush? "
Zong Shou didn't explain, rushing into the wooden hut and personally carrying Ruoshui out. Then, he ran onto the cloud crossing carriage before saying, "Stop talking nonsense, let's run!"
Hu Zhongyuan's face was filled with doubt. He was already at 6 meridians of the earth chakra level. Along with Zong Shou who was a night wandering realm spirit master with strong sword techniques, a grade 5 spirit beast, and also the purple lightning spear Zong Yuan, even if they faced a 7 meridian Xuanwu ancestor, they had the ability to fight. In this wilderness, apart from the legendary chill serpent, who else could make Zong Shou so afraid?
In the next instance, a few ape roars rose and fell, one after another, continuous and unending. In just a moment, a golden striped white ape suddenly appeared in their field of vision. Behind it was a mountain full of white shadows.
Hu Zhongyuan's face instantly turned ashen white. He dashed in front of the carriage and snatched the reins from Zong Yuan's hands. Then, he personally controlled the Windrider foals and swiftly galloped forward. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
