Eternal Sword

Chapter 12: The Old Ape Offers Wine
For the next nearly twenty days, in addition to practicing boxing every day, Chen Tang spent most of his time with Xuetuaner, fighting with various ferocious beasts that Shanjun had brought to hone his martial arts and boxing skills.

Chen Tang had already mastered the Subduing Tiger Fist to perfection.

But it took him nearly twenty days of fighting and training to master this set of boxing techniques.

No matter what kind of beast he faced or what means of attack he used, he could always adapt to the situation and respond calmly with every move he made.

During the continuous fighting, Chen Tang gradually gained a deeper understanding of the Subduing Tiger Fist.

The leaps and leaps, biting and pouncing of various ferocious beasts, including the body movements of Xuetuaner when hunting, are all helping Chen Tang to understand the principles of boxing!

Just as Shan Zhongke said, only through repeated fighting and training, the distance, timing, strength and so on of the attack can be clearly understood and formed into memory.

This way you won't panic and get flustered during a battle.

In just twenty days, Chen Tang felt that his combat effectiveness had greatly improved!

If he met Master Chai again, facing Master Chai's counterattack on the head, he would not need to use the power of divine illumination at all, and could easily kill him!

Of course, these days, he continued to eat tiger milk and wild ginseng without interruption, and his strength was still growing.

The angles of Chen Tang's face became more distinct, his face was as sharp as a knife, and his body was obviously thinner, but his muscles were tighter and as solid as rocks!

In the fight with the wild beast, the whole person's temperament undergoes earth-shaking changes. Inadvertently, a fierce light will flash in the eyes, and he looks awe-inspiring without even being angry!
Moreover, he has already mastered the ability to enter a trance state and can enter the trance state anytime and anywhere.

Unknowingly, Chen Tang is growing rapidly.

One day, Chen Tang was preparing to follow the tiger down the mountain to find another ferocious beast to practice with. At a glance, he saw a wine gourd in the corner.

"Senior, why didn't I see you drink this wine after I bought it?"

Chen Tang asked.

“That’s also called wine?”

The mountain guest sneered when he heard this and said, "That's horse urine!"

Chen Tang: “…”

Drink it or not, I won’t buy it for you next time.

Chen Tang went over, picked up the wine gourd, took a big sip, and hung it around his waist.

This is the most expensive wine in Changze County and cannot be wasted.

The tiger carried Chen Tang and Xuetuaner down the snow mountain and looked around for ferocious beasts to practice with.

It wasn't long before they targeted an old ape.

The old ape looked frightened, and by the time he discovered the tiger, it was too late.

Chen Tang and Xuetuaner jumped down, split into two groups, and pounced on the old ape.

The old ape's retreat was blocked by the tiger. Seeing that he had no way to escape, he beat his chest and roared, waving his fists, and rushed towards Chen Tang and Xuetuaner!

The two sides fought together, and before long, the old ape could no longer hold out and was defeated.

"what?"

Chen Tang was puzzled and frowned secretly.

Monkeys have the agility to climb mountains, the skill to climb rocks, and their movements are very flexible.

But the old ape seemed to have some reservations and always protected his back. When he moved around, he was slow and looked clumsy.

Chen Tang used the strength of his legs and suddenly leaped up to the side of the old ape, pouncing on him like a hungry tiger descending from the mountain!

At this moment, a furry white little head suddenly popped out from behind the old ape's shoulder. It turned out to be a white ape cub.

The little white ape seemed unaware of the danger it was in. It lay on the old ape's shoulder with its eyes open. Its dark eyeballs rolled around.

It turned out to be the case.

When Chen Tang saw this, the momentum of the hungry tiger descending the mountain suddenly slowed down.

The old ape was so protective of his child that he feared the child would get hurt, so he roared angrily and suddenly broke off a branch and stabbed towards Chen Tang!

You can actually use weapons?

Chen Tang burst out laughing.

How powerful can just a branch be?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chen Tang felt a chill in his heart.

The old ape stabbed with the branch in his hand, which actually emitted a sharp edge and broke the momentum of the hungry tiger descending from the mountain!
Snapped!
The branch pierced Chen Tang's chest and broke instantly.

It was just a branch, of course it couldn't hurt Chen Tang.

But if the old ape was holding a sword in his hand, there would be a hole in Chen Tang’s chest at this moment!
"eccentric."

Chen Tang was surprised.

An old ape in the snowy mountains actually knows swordsmanship?
Or was that just a coincidence?

Normally, as long as the beasts were defeated by Chen Tang and Xue Tuan'er, they would be killed by the tigers as prey and eaten.

Only by defeating Chen Tang can he have a chance to survive. In fact, if Chen Tang attacks with all his strength, the old ape will definitely not be able to defeat him.

But this old ape had some human nature, and was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the child. Chen Tang couldn't bear it, so he walked towards the tiger, gestured, and said:
"I just lost. This old ape stabbed me. Let them go."

The tiger sat still, just staring at the old ape not far away.

Chen Tang thought it was reluctant, but when he followed the tiger's gaze, he saw Xuetuaner and the little white ape were already playing together.

Chen Tang smiled.

The old ape was terrified watching from the side.

He didn't feel relieved until he was sure that Xuetuaner had no ill intentions, but he still looked at Shanjun and Chen Tang with caution.

"You go."

As the sky gradually darkened, Chen Tang finally carried Xuetuaner away and waved his hand, signaling the old ape to take the little white ape away.

The old ape seemed to understand what Chen Tang said, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Xuetuaner and the little white ape were having so much fun playing that the two little animals didn't want to separate and were even a little reluctant to leave.

The old ape carried the little white ape on his back and walked a few steps before looking back. Seeing that Shanjun and Chen Tang had not caught up with him, he was sure that he was out of danger.

Chen Tang watched the old ape go into the forest. Not long after, just as he was about to turn around and leave, the old ape came back with the little white ape on its back.

Why are you running back?
Chen Tang was puzzled.

The old ape came up to Chen Tang, cupped his hands, and bowed to the tiger and Chen Tang like a human, as if to express his gratitude.

Then, the old ape pointed at the wine gourd on Chen Tang's waist and muttered something.

"Haha, you want to drink?"

Chen Tang couldn't help but laugh.

Unexpectedly, this old ape likes to drink.

He did not refuse and took off the wine gourd and threw it to the old ape.

The old ape pointed at the ground under Chen Tang's feet and gestured.

"What does this mean?"

Chen Tang was confused by what the old ape said.

The old ape talked for a long time, but seeing that Chen Tang still didn't understand, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He walked around Chen Tang and drew a circle on the snow under his feet.

amount……

Chen Tang blinked and asked tentatively, "Are you asking us to wait here?"

"Ow!"

Seeing that Chen Tang finally understood, the old ape couldn't help but smile and nodded repeatedly, looking like he was very pleased that Chen Tang was a teachable boy.

Chen Tang: “…”

The old ape carried the wine gourd and turned back into the forest.

After a long time, as the night deepened, Chen Tang became a little impatient, and the old ape finally ran out of the forest and handed the wine gourd back to Chen Tang.

There was a gleam in the old ape's eyes. He repeatedly pretended to pull out the cork and raise his head to drink, his face full of anticipation.

"Let me drink?"

This time, Chen Tang understood quickly.

As soon as he opened the lid of the wine gourd, a strong and mellow aroma of wine wafted into his nose. Before he even drank it, Chen Tang felt a little drunk.

"This is……"

Chen Tang looked intently.

I saw the wine in the wine gourd, under the reflection of the moonlight, clear and blue, like nectar, and the aroma of wine was overflowing!
Even if he didn't know much about wine, he could smell that this wine was ten or even a hundred times better than what was in the gourd before!
Chen Tang was overjoyed and couldn't help but raise his head and take a big sip.

Strong drink in throat.

First you feel a strong spicy taste, then your mouth is filled with fragrance, sweetness, and mellowness, leaving a long aftertaste.

A warm current surged in the stomach, quickly exploded and spread throughout the body, and a stream of heat rushed straight to the forehead.

In an instant, Chen Tang's face turned red, he burped, and felt drowsy and his eyelids felt heavy.

"There is such a wonderful wine in the world... I thought what I drank before was... burp, it was horse urine!"

After saying that, Chen Tang tilted his head back and fell asleep, already drunk.

The old ape moved very quickly. He quickly caught the wine gourd, put the cork in it, and hung it back around Chen Tang's waist.
