Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 20 Monkey Wine

"Aww, woof..."

It was still that vast orchard, where the monkeys frolicked and played freely, seemingly carefree forever. The monkey king and his generals were still basking in the sun on the boulder.

Lin Feng hid in a bush, holding a huge jade bottle in his hand. He stared intently at the colorful liquid slowly flowing within. "Success or failure hinges on this," he thought. "You'd better give it your all!"

After observing the wind direction once more, Lin Feng slowly opened the transparent seal of the jade bottle. Immediately afterwards, a gentle breeze blew, slowly spreading the dissolved Dragon Saliva throughout the entire orchard.

……

"Knock knock knock..."

As time went on, more and more monkeys fell to the ground, but luckily these monkeys were tough. Otherwise, several would have suffered that undeserved misfortune.

As the little monkeys around him continued to faint, the old monkey king realized that something was wrong.

"Roar... Boom boom boom..."

The Monkey King stood up straight, roared to the sky, and pounded his chest.

The remaining monkeys, who were not yet unconscious, immediately became alert and looked around. Only they remained conscious.

One by one, they roared, their expressions uneasy and extremely agitated.

"Ha, we've been found out? Too late!"

As a faint voice rang out, Lin Feng slowly emerged from the bushes, his expression calm and composed.

"roar……"

Seeing this, the few remaining monkey generals rushed towards Lin Feng. But he stood still, seemingly oblivious to their presence.

"Three, two, one... fall!" As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the monkey generals fell to the ground.

"Knock knock knock..."

Seeing several monkey generals fall to the ground, their fates unknown, the Monkey King could no longer suppress his rage. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he pounded his chest violently, sending waves of energy surging through him.

Then, with a leap, he attacked Lin Feng fiercely.

"It's too late to realize it now! It's useless."

Lin Feng channeled his fighting spirit along the meridians on his back, and with a series of "whoosh whoosh" sounds, a pair of enormous black wings rose from his back. With a powerful push from his feet, he shot skyward in an instant.

Looking at Lin Feng in the sky, the Monkey King was furious and kept throwing boulders at Lin Feng.

However, the observant Lin Feng noticed that the Monkey King's strength was clearly decreasing as time went on. Sure enough, after throwing another boulder into the air, the Monkey King roared and crashed to the ground.

Lin Feng landed a hundred meters away from the Monkey King, a distance from which he could attack or defend. After observing for a quarter of an hour, the Monkey King finally let out a frustrated roar and collapsed into a deep sleep.

Lin Feng did not immediately step forward. He waited for another quarter of an hour, and only after the Monkey King stopped moving did Lin Feng slowly approach. However, he did not retract his wings, ensuring that he could fly into the sky at any time in case of an emergency.

After passing the monkeys' habitat, Lin Feng strolled forward, glancing around from time to time. His powerful soul force emanated from his body as he searched for any possible traces of monkey wine.

After searching fruitlessly, Lin Feng stopped, stroked his chin, and began to think. "Monkey wine, monkey, wine, fruit, peach."

Lin Feng clapped his hands and exclaimed, "So that's how it is!" Then, he began to observe the surrounding fruit trees, especially the peach trees.

After wandering around for a while, Lin Feng stopped in his tracks as he passed a peach tree. His gaze fixed on the seemingly ordinary tree, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Finally found you!"

He gently placed his palm on it, and his soul power surged forth, seeping into its interior. Immediately afterward, a surge of immense energy appeared in Lin Feng's senses. "So it was brewed within the tree, naturally concealing the energy fluctuations. No wonder even with his powerful soul power, he still couldn't find it."

Lin Feng ran his hand over his storage ring, and a second-tier magic core longsword appeared in his palm. He then gently slashed at the peach tree. Instantly, a rich, refreshing fragrance wafted over, almost intoxicating.

Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly cut open the peach tree, and once the opening was the size of a millstone, a wisp of rosy light shot up. Lin Feng immediately took out a jade bottle the size of a wooden bucket from his storage ring, and with a wave of his hand, his powerful soul force attracted it and put it into the jade bottle.

After absorbing only one-tenth of the monkey wine from the peach tree as the original wine, Lin Feng got up and continued his search. With such a large tribe, this amount of monkey wine was simply not enough to distribute, although the majority would undoubtedly go to the Monkey King and the top generals.

After finding out where the monkey wine was buried, Lin Feng found eight more peach trees where the monkey wine was buried in just a quarter of an hour.

Each piece was removed, leaving a layer of the original liquor in each location to avoid difficulties in brewing the next batch.

As a highly virtuous alchemist, Lin Feng is not some unscrupulous Taoist priest who steals people's ancestral graves year after year.

He knew the difficulty of creating rare and precious materials, and even though monkey wine was brewed by animals, he could not take it all at once.

After taking out most of the monkey wine, Lin Feng left the area. As he passed the monkey troop, he hesitated for a moment, then said, "Never mind, I still owe you."

Adhering to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me," Lin Feng reached out and swiped his storage ring, and several jade bottles filled with pills appeared in his palm.

Inside were a large quantity of hemostatic pills, which should be the most practical for magical beasts.

Moreover, Lin Feng had a sudden inspiration and took out the Beast Language Pill that he had refined as a backup plan, and placed it in a conspicuous position.

Lin Feng stroked his chin, his eyes filled with curiosity. "Beast Language Pills are usually taken by humans to communicate with magical beasts. What would happen if magical beasts, especially humanoid magical beast monkeys, took them?!"

After placing the pills, Lin Feng slipped into the bushes he had come from and closed his eyes to rest.

As the sun changed from warm to scorching and gradually moved westward, the monkey king, who had fainted on the ground, seemed to stir slightly.

Lin Feng, whose soul power was constantly monitoring his surroundings, immediately sensed the movement and promptly put the alchemy notes in his hand into his storage ring.

Immediately afterwards, his fighting spirit flowed from his dantian to his feet, and as the Monkey King fully regained consciousness, his figure flashed and he instantly disappeared from the orchard.

"roar"

After an unknown amount of time, a terrifying roar suddenly came from the direction of the orchard. The sound was filled with shock and anger, as if it had suffered a severe blow.

The magical beasts around the orchard quickly retreated. No one knew what had gotten into the old monkey king, but that didn't stop them from moving away. No one wanted to anger a top-tier fourth-order magical beast, especially one with a powerful clan.

As the light gradually dimmed in the Monster Mountain Range, Lin Feng moved swiftly through it. Although his movements were agile, no monsters sensed his presence because of his soul power.

As for why we don't use aerial combat techniques, perhaps the kind-hearted old lady next door can answer that for you!

(P.S.: Keeping my word is my principle in the Dou Qi Continent. So far, I have 8 votes including the recommendation votes and my own vote, so I'll add an extra chapter. Hahaha, finally I can eat, take a bath, and go to sleep.)
