Mystery Leaks

Chapter 621
We froze for a moment, then turned around together.

There is still a living creature in this hole full of corpses?
At this time, we found that the corpse of the empress mother who was curled up in the corner moved a little bit.

We walked over and turned the female monkey slightly, our eyes lit up.

In the arms of the dead female monkey, there was actually a baby monkey hidden. It was red all over without a trace of variegation, nestled in the arms of the female monkey, like a ball of flames burning.

We all grew our mouths and felt a little surprised, just like when we were digging out sand, we suddenly found a pearl.

"It's a spirit monkey!" Huang Mao was surprised.

I squatted down and carefully picked up the little thing from the mother monkey's arms. It was very light, and it looked like it hadn't been weaned. The black eyes are like a pair of gemstones, full of aura, but with a little panic.

It was terrified, and the monkeys fought fiercely, especially the screams of the female monkey before death, which made it tremble.

"It won't last more than three months." Huang Mao said.

I nodded, stroked its hair, it was very warm, exuding a strong fire breath.

Huang Mao is right, this is a spirit monkey, and it is a spirit monkey of the fire attribute. It has already realized the method of cultivation since it was born in the monkey womb, and it is an innate body.

So far, I have seen a total of four innate bodies.

One for myself, one for Yan Xiaowu, one for Gutai Xiaotian, and this little monkey is the fourth.

"It seems that the bald man has a good reason to rebel. He has fallen out of favor." Huang Mao took the little monkey, looked at it carefully, and was amazed.

I nodded, no wonder the bald head can command so many monkeys, it is the future monkey king, unfortunately, after the old monkey king was dying, a talented "brother" appeared, if you let this " "Brother" grows up, it is bound to lose the throne.

So, it united with the wild monkeys outside to rebel, and the promise of rebellion was most likely made by monkeys.

If I come one step later, the little monkey will also be murdered.This is a typical patricide and seizing the throne, which is strikingly similar to the history of human struggle for power.

"The bald man is so ruthless. He not only killed his father, but also slaughtered all his brothers. He is a ruthless master." Huang Mao returned the little monkey to my hand and said, "It is destined for you. Take it away and keep it." There is only one dead end here."

I had exactly this intention, so I took out a small cage and a small bag from the ring, put it into the small cage, put it in the bag and carried it on my shoulders.

After doing all this, we left the cliff cave and planned to return. The time we came out was not too short.

Back on the cliff, the monkeys were still there, but the bald head and the wild monkeys were gone, probably hiding.

Seeing this, there is nothing we can do. This place looks not small, and if we really need to search it thoroughly, it will be impossible to do it in three days and two nights. The trees are too tall and too big. Not anymore.

Huang Mao understood what I was thinking, and persuaded: "If the little guy has a future, let him clean up the house by himself in the future. You have to do things like revenge and revenge yourself."

I thought, this is the reason, so I nodded and stopped entangled.

The enmity between it and the bald head, let it settle on its own, if it doesn't have the ability, or the bald head has already died when it becomes stronger, that's God's will.

When we were about to leave the forest, the little monkey suddenly called out. Huangmao looked at it and said that it was hungry, so we had to spend a little time catching a female monkey who was still nursing and feeding it.

The little thing eats a lot, so he screamed at the nursing mother monkey, and fell asleep deeply after eating and drinking.

"Sigh... it doesn't understand what happened." Huangmao sighed, shook his head, and said: "Actually, the bald head didn't need to rebel at all, and even started killing."

"How?" I asked.

"Think about it, will the future of this little thing be with monkeys?" Huang Mao asked back.

I suddenly realized, yes, monkey monsters are a very powerful group in the monster clan, and those who can cultivate to the human body are the outstanding ones among the monkey group.

The little monkey satisfies this condition, and its future cannot be satisfied by the Monkey King of this group of monkeys.

That is to say, the little monkey will almost [-]% leave the monkey group when it grows up, and it will fly and practice in a wider world outside.

The king of the monkey group was finally bald.And judging by the fluctuations in the spiritual power of the little monkey, it won't take a few years.

Even one day when the little monkey becomes stronger and returns to the group of monkeys, it will bring the bald man unimaginable cultivation resources in his life, leading it to a broader road, instead of nestling here to fight for spiritual fruits and female monkeys until death live.

……

Instead of going back the way we came, we turned a corner in the other direction.

The reason is very simple, if you go the same way, there will be no spiritual materials and medicines to collect.

As a result, the harvest on the return trip was even greater than when we came here. A total of five 200-year-old spiritual fruits, three 300-year-old spiritual fruits, and two 300-year-old spiritual fruits were picked. In addition, there was a 200-year-old precious medicine and two [-]-year-old spiritual fruits.

Perhaps he saved the life of the little monkey, and his luck was overwhelming.

A total of three battles took place, and there were guardian beasts next to them when collecting.

However, the solution is very simple and neat. There is nothing that one fire dragon can't solve for the monsters in the spirit realm. If there is, then two.

While picking, I suddenly had a question.

That is, these spirit fruits and medicines have been immobile for hundreds of years, and they are ripe, and they don't know the year of the monkey. What's the point of these guardian beasts standing by and waiting for ripening?
Dare they do nothing but just sit by a elixir and wait for it to mature?
This is... too much of a waste of life, and it's not an NPC in the game, it's a living thing.

Besides, guarding the side of the spiritual fruit medicine, that thing belongs to them?Not necessarily, maybe one day it will be taken over by a stronger monster.

So I asked the question, and I was really confused.

"There are two levels to this matter." Huang Mao said, and then explained: "In fact, the real ripening of most spiritual fruits and precious medicines is very long, and it is true that monsters cannot wait for real ripening. The so-called ripeness is actually a fake ripeness."

"Fake familiarity?" I was taken aback, this word is a little strange.

"Spiritual materials and precious medicines are actually no different from weeds when they have not entered the false ripening cycle. It is impossible to tell from the outside that they are spiritual materials and precious medicines. The spiritual materials and precious medicines that we have seen exude spiritual color , have already entered the period of false ripening, which can be as long as a year or as short as half a month or a few months, and it will come to a false ripening."

Huang Mao said again, "Most of the ripeness we mentioned before are fake ripeness. It is actually very difficult to wait for the real ripeness. There are even some precious medicines that do not have the term ripeness at all. They can be used infinitely." longevity."

Suddenly, I nodded, it turned out to be the case.

"Of course, not all spiritual materials and treasures are like this, just like the vermilion fruit before. It has no false ripening, only one full ripening. If it is not picked in time, it will wither and rot soon." Huang Mao He changed the subject and said again.

"How much difference is the effect between fake ripening and real ripening?" I asked, Huangmao had made up for it before he came in, and he knew much more than I did.

Huang Mao shook his head: "It's difficult to estimate, but what is certain is that if the spiritual material and medicine have not entered the false ripening cycle, they will have almost no effect, and many of them will be highly toxic. The consequences of devouring are no different from suicide .”

After a pause, he continued: "The monster guards the spiritual materials and treasures and waits for the fake ripening. Firstly, it is for the best devouring effect. Second, the spiritual materials and precious medicines at the moment of fake ripening are the least toxic. Knowing alchemy, you can only wait patiently, otherwise it is not a precious medicine, but a poison, and human beings are different. Humans can refine and neutralize the toxicity of spiritual materials, so there is no need to wait for the false ripening to pick, just enter the false ripening cycle That's it."

What I said made me puzzled. It turns out that there are so many details in it.The alchemy, the toxicity contained in the spiritual material itself, the false ripening cycle, etc., have created completely different choices for humans and monsters.

"The collection of monster races should be about the same as ours?" I asked.

"Of course." Huang Mao nodded, and said: "The monsters are monsters that have turned into humans. Although they retain some animal nature to some extent, they are enlightened after all, and they can also understand alchemy."
