Teng Qing Shan lay quietly on the precipice platform, his breathing weakened to almost inaudible.
"It's out." Teng Qing saw the giant iron-armed ape walking out of the cave, "Hmmm, the red fruit in his hand, indeed went in."
The tall and powerful iron arm monkey that had just walked out of the cave immediately let out a 'ga ga ga' cry, the excited and high-pitched cry echoing in the air above the old nest of the iron arm monkeys. The iron arm monkeys who were still frolicking and playing originally, after hearing the tall and powerful iron arm monkey's cry, one by one also became excited and shouted while dancing with their hands and feet.
Ahhhhh...
The shouting voices merged into one piece. Afterwards, the iron-armed monkeys immediately ran to various corners and took out some stone cups.
"A cup?" Tong Qing Shan stared at this scene in surprise.
There are some iron-armed monkeys, and their cups seem to have been lost. Those iron-armed monkeys casually picked up a stone and then used their sharp claws like divine soldiers' knives to quickly cut and dig into the stone, and soon the stone became a stone cup.
There were still many iron-armed monkeys who heard the shouts and emerged from all directions, increasing the number of iron-armed monkeys below once again.
"There are over a thousand ordinary iron-armed monkeys, but the tall and robust ones only number thirteen!" Teng Qing Shan secretly marveled, "But what's with them all holding cups?"
Just at this time ——
An iron-armed monkey with a silver body and golden pupils, of average height, walked out of the cave. It held a large stone wine jar in one hand, filled with a light red liquid, and a strong aroma of wine wafted through the air. Even Teng Qing Shan, who was more than ten zhang away from the entrance of the cave, caught wind of the scent.
"This flavor......" Teng Qing Shan only felt that the flavor made his whole body tingle, a refreshing feeling spreading throughout his entire body.
"Even the flavor is so enticing." Teng Qing Shan glanced at the golden-eyed Iron Arm Ape, "In this group of apes, all the Iron Arm Apes are very respectful to this silver-haired ape." Teng Qing Shan could tell that this golden-eyed Iron Arm Ape was obviously the king of the entire ape group! In a group of demonic beasts, whoever can become the king must be the most powerful one.
However, Teng Qing Shan was unclear about the Monkey King's actual strength.
"That demon beast book only talks about ordinary iron arm monkeys. Not even the tall and mighty iron arm monkey, nor the Monkey King, are mentioned." Teng Qing Shan sighed inwardly, thinking that the book's introduction was not comprehensive.
Below
As soon as that golden-eyed iron-armed ape let out a loud cry, over a thousand iron-armed apes all cheered and jumped for joy.
Only the golden pupils of the iron-armed apes were visible, as they poured the shallow red liquid from the large wine jug into the water jars held by the thirteen tall and sturdy iron-armed apes below. After that, these thirteen tall and sturdy iron-armed apes distributed the Zhu Guo wine in their respective water jars to each of the iron-armed apes. The speed of the iron-armed apes was very fast.
In the blink of an eye, over a thousand Iron-Armed Monkeys each received a cup.
……
"How fragrant!" Tan Qing Shan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Divided among over a thousand Iron-Armed Monkeys, the strong aroma of the wine had completely dispersed. The sky had darkened and the monkeys were excitedly yet carefully taking small sips, smacking their lips after each mouthful. It would take them at least several dozen mouthfuls to finish one cup of Zhu fruit wine.
"Hmm?" Teng Qing Shan's gaze swept towards the distance.
Not far away, a black shadow appeared on the tree, and a pair of gray eyes were mysterious in the dark.
"It's a black leopard." Teng Qing Shan had excellent night vision, and with one glance, he identified the distant dark shadow as a sleek and shiny black leopard. "It's the demonic beast 'Black Wind Leopard', it should be even faster than me." Earlier, when the black leopard climbed up the tree, Teng Qing Shan saw it clearly.
Whoosh!
Another shadow hid in a nearby thicket, its green eyes also staring at the monkey's nest.
……
"So many demonic beasts." Teng Qing Shan's heart trembled, "Demonic beasts 'Black Wind Leopard', 'Blue Stripe Wolf', 'Purple Electric Centipede', and two others I don't recognize." From Teng Qing Shan's angle, with his six senses, he had already discovered five demonic beasts. How many more were lurking around?
Teng Qing Shan also didn't dare say anything.
In short, there are many demons! Of course, the hidden Teng Qing Mountain is no less threatening than those demons.
"Ah!"
The Golden Eyed Monkey King took a big swig of the crimson fruit wine, glanced around at the lurking demonic beasts with an air of disdain.
The other Iron Arm Apes were also excited, shouting one by one. More than a thousand Iron Arm Apes, of course, some Iron Arm Apes discovered the demon beasts. However... these Iron Arm Apes obviously looked down on those demon beasts, each one proudly taking a sip of Zhu fruit wine, and every time they took a sip, they would proudly shout a few times.
On Iron Arm Ape Mountain, the iron arm apes are the overlords!
Other demons can't compete with the Iron Arm Ape Gang!
……
Get moving!
Those lurking monsters were obviously attracted by the red fruit wine, and the attraction of the red fruit wine was too strong. Those monsters lurked around, but none dared to rush into the monkey group. If it were just one iron-armed monkey, these lone monsters would not be afraid at all. But there were thousands of iron-armed monkeys.
They also hesitate!
"The atmosphere doesn't feel quite right." Teng Qing Shan looked at the distant demonic beast and sighed, "I've come to the Barbarian Mountains, but I rarely encounter demonic beasts. However, on this Iron Arm Ape Mountain, there's not only 'Zhu Guo', but also a group of iron arm apes. And even other demonic beasts."
Teng Qing Shan understood.
The emergence of the demon beast is related to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! This Iron Arm Ape Mountain, where so many spiritual fruits and demon beasts appear, this great mountain is not an ordinary mountain.
Just as Mount Qingcheng was quietly lurking
"Hiss!"
A sharp voice suddenly rang out, and a silver-gray phantom flashed through the air, darting into the monkey group like lightning.
"It's an eagle, but this divine eagle, I haven't even seen it in books." Teng Qing Shan also realized that the demonic beasts in the book were not all-inclusive. The divine eagle diving down had wings spread open over a zhang wide, and in the instant it charged into the monkey group, the divine eagle pounced on one of the thirteen giant iron-armed monkeys.
Pfft!
A single flap of the wings.
Whoa! The giant iron-armed ape was directly blown flying, heavily crashing into the nearby mountain wall, with a loud rumbling sound. A large pit appeared on the mountain wall, and debris splashed everywhere.
"Whoosh!" The divine eagle's sharp beak dipped into the water jug, and with one suck, the remaining red fruit wine inside the jug was sucked dry.
"Ahhh~~~~"
The iron-armed monkey group suddenly became noisy, with each one revealing their ferocious appearance.
"Ah!" The Golden Eyed Monkey King let out a loud cry, like a silver bolt of lightning, and directly pounced on the divine eagle.
The silver-gray divine eagle did not entangle with the golden-eyed monkey king, and with a flap of its wings, it flew up into the sky.
Pfft!
The Golden-Eyed Monkey King stomped the ground, causing it to violently shake. He transformed into a silver light and instantly leaped over twenty yards, his iron arms grasping one of the Silver Grey Eagle's sharp claws. The Silver Grey Eagle suddenly flipped its body, attacking the Golden-Eyed Monkey King with its sharp beak and talons.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
When the Monkey King and the Divine Eagle were entwined in battle, the originally hidden demons immediately rushed into the monkey group one by one to grab the Zhu Guo wine.
"Ahhh!!!!!!"
The Iron-Armed Monkeys shouted in unison, each one downing the Zhu fruit wine in their cups, not allowing any external demonic beasts to drink. Then, dozens of Iron-Armed Monkeys formed a group and pounced on the demonic beasts. Those demonic beasts that had charged in, after drinking several more cups of Zhu fruit wine, saw the situation was unfavorable and panicked, wanting to escape without regard for their route.
*****
In fact, when the monkey troop was in chaos, Teng Qing Shan quickly climbed up to the steep cliff above the cave.
"It's a big mess, but there are still iron-armed monkeys watching around here." Teng Qing Shan looked at the iron-armed monkeys below, several of which were staring at the distant battle, but didn't notice anything above.
Wow!
Teng Qing Shan silently fell from the cliff, and in an instant when his head landed at the entrance of the cave, his right hand's five fingers easily inserted into the internal stone wall of the cave. With the help of his right hand, his body was as soft and boneless as it stuck to the inner wall of the cave, directly slipping into the depths of the cave. From falling down to slipping in, it only took a blink of an eye.
Wow!
Hong Qingshan has disappeared deep into the cave.
And those iron-armed monkeys standing at the entrance of the cave, staring at the distant beasts fighting, excitedly shouted and howled from time to time, completely unaware of Teng Qing Shan.
……
Teng Qing Shan held the Wheel of Reincarnation in his right hand and a flying knife in his left, proceeding cautiously within the cave. The interior of the cave was pitch black, but Teng Qing Shan could see clearly any spot within his line of sight. After circling around the cave three or four times, he arrived at the empty interior of the mountain's belly.
A rich wine aroma wafts from within.
"This is..." Teng Qing Shan looked at the shallow reddish liquid in the square stone pit, "so much? The demonic beasts outside would fight to the death for just a little. And here there's so much. But first, I need to find that Zhu Guo!"
Next to this square stone pit, there are many bottles and jars, stone basins, wine vats and so on.
"Cherry!"
Teng Qing Shan's eyes landed on the red fruit in the stone basin, "Only one left? What about the other two?" Teng Qing Shan picked up the red fruit and was surprised to find... that the fragrance emitted by this red fruit was very similar to the fragrance emitted by the light red liquid.
"There was still some light red liquid residue in the stone basin. Could it be... that the light red wine was made from zhū guǒ and other materials, making it a zhū guǒ wine?" Teng Qing Shan's heart had somewhat understood.
"The monsters are all rushing to drink, and the wine is probably drinkable. However..." Teng Qing Shan untied his bundle and first put the red fruit inside, "Once you eat the red fruit, your internal energy will surge violently, and your dantian will rapidly expand. During the time when the dantian changes, I estimate that I won't be able to use my internal energy at will. The situation is urgent now, let's wait until we escape before eating."
Outside is a troop of monkeys!
The longer you stay in the cave, the more danger you will encounter.
Now, no matter what kind of spiritual fruit, temporarily, Zong Qing Shan did not dare to eat it.
"This wine is a waste if I don't drink it. But if I drink it now and it causes some special physical reaction, it won't be good for my escape." Teng Qing Shan's eyes scanned the surrounding bottles and jars, but they were all made of rough stone and didn't even have corks. Suddenly, he caught sight of the gourd in his package!
This is a gourd for holding water! Traveling around outside, of course, a specialized gourd for holding water wouldn't be small.
"Fill it with a gourd, this gourd can hold several kilograms." Teng Qing Shan was overjoyed and immediately opened the bottle plug, putting the empty gourd directly into the stone pit. The sound of "gurgling" could be heard as the red fruit wine continuously flowed into the gourd.
