Chapter 790
After discovering the Monkey Wine and guessing its effects, Zi Chen's eyes lit up even more.
Obviously, both the Monkey Fruit and the Monkey Wine were good things. The former could help increase his strength, while the latter would be of great help to his future journey on the Ancient Road.
This discovery caused Zi Chen to pause for a moment. During this pause, the giant pangolin had already entered the hollow.
The pangolin appeared from the hollow, but it didn't appear directly next to the Monkey Tree like the other savage beasts. Instead, it appeared fifty meters away from the Monkey Tree, next to a withered tree.
Originally, there were Barbaric Monkeys on the ancient trees behind the withered tree. Because the battle was too intense and there were too many savage beasts, these Barbaric Monkeys all rushed to the hollow to help out.
After the pangolin appeared, it was unexpectedly not discovered by the Barbaric Monkeys. After it poked its head out, it once again hid underground, then opened a hole in the ground and approached the Monkey Tree.
Under the Monkey Tree, there were Barbaric Monkeys guarding it. The Level 1 Barbaric Monkeys were fighting in front of it. The pangolin appeared again on the other side of the Monkey Tree, which was twenty meters away, behind a group of Barbaric Monkeys.
The pangolin poked its head out, but the Barbaric Monkeys still didn't discover it. Its eyes were clearly filled with joy, and it was thinking about how to steal the Monkey Fruit.
After Zi Chen suppressed all of his aura, he followed the pangolin. The place he appeared was where the pangolin had poked its head out earlier.
Zi Chen appeared in a flash, using the withered tree as cover. At this moment, he was only fifty meters away from the Monkey Tree. If he used his extreme speed, he could instantly reach the tree. He wouldn't dare to say that he could pluck all of the Monkey Fruit, but plucking two or three wouldn't be a problem at all.
Zi Chen's expression changed, and he prepared to use his extreme speed to move before the pangolin made its move. Suddenly, Zi Chen's powerful senses detected a heart-palpitating aura.
This aura made Zi Chen clearly feel danger, and it was a life-threatening one. Zi Chen tightly leaned against the ancient tree and restrained all of his aura.
At this moment, there were already three Level Six Barbaric Monkeys within the group of Barbaric Monkeys. However, these three Barbaric Monkeys were about the same in terms of size and strength. If all three of them were Kings, then it would go against the common sense of there being only one King in a group.
Thinking of this, Zi Chen's face was covered in cold sweat. If these three Barbaric Monkeys were not kings, then it was obvious that the king of the Barbaric Monkeys had yet to appear.
Moreover, Zi Chen had a feeling that he had been tricked. The Monkey King had yet to appear, and this made Zi Chen wonder if the Monkey King was waiting for all the savage beasts to appear so that he could capture them all in one fell swoop.
Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. This guess was not groundless. At this moment, the Barbarian Monkeys did not have the upper hand. They were dying one after another, but the Barbarian Monkey King still did not appear.
"Don't try to get close to this place. Stay as far away as possible. If you feel that something is wrong, run away immediately." Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly sent a message to Man Hu.
Hearing Zi Chen's message, Man Hu, who had followed the other savage beasts to attack the Monkey Fruit Tree, also silently retreated. From the looks of it, he was forced to retreat by the Barbaric Monkeys.
With this discovery, Zi Chen immediately felt as if there was a sharp edge on his back. It was as if his every move was being monitored. Previously, he thought that he was the general who controlled the entire situation, but now, he felt that he was just a clown who had been played.
The pangolin was very shrewd. It had yet to attack and was still waiting. However, in Zi Chen's eyes, the pangolin was just a clown, a clown who had been played like him.
Zi Chen's figure was currently blocked by the ancient tree, so no Barbarian Monkey had discovered him. His body was tightly pressed against the ancient tree. Although he felt that he was being watched, this was Zi Chen's guess after all.
Even if there was a sliver of a chance, Zi Chen would still hide.
The chaos continued, and the ground shook. The entire area was shaking, but Zi Chen, who was close to him, could hear the faint sound of flowing liquid.
"Why is there such a sound?" Zi Chen was extremely puzzled. He was prepared to listen, but he didn't hear anything.
Zi Chen, who didn't hear anything, suddenly looked at the Ancient Tree that he was close to. A strange expression appeared on his face. After that, Zi Chen placed his ear on the Ancient Tree and heard the sound of flowing liquid again.
Because this sound came from the Ancient Tree, it was very soft. If one didn't place their ear on it, they wouldn't be able to hear it.
However, why would there be liquid in the Ancient Tree? Zi Chen didn't even think about it and blurted out the answer.
"Monkey Wine, Monkey Wine."
It seemed that there was only one explanation for the liquid in the Ancient Tree.
Moreover, Zi Chen's spiritual sense spread out and discovered that there were a total of eight of these withered trees. In the Monkey Tribe's territory, there were eight withered trees. This didn't make sense. Previously, Zi Chen only found it strange and didn't question it. However, after hearing the sound of flowing liquid, he understood.
The Barbaric Monkeys must have hollowed out the Ancient Tree and placed all the ingredients for the Monkey Wine inside. Then, they sealed the hole and waited for the Monkey Wine to ferment.
"If it's really the Monkey Wine, then I've struck gold."
Zi Chen's eyes lit up. He was extremely excited and his mood seemed to have improved. Zi Chen felt that the spying in the dark had disappeared.
Although the battlefield was chaotic, if Zi Chen brazenly took the Monkey Wine, he would naturally be discovered. Therefore, after looking around, he once again dived into the ground.
After that, Zi Chen began to travel underground. His digging skills were naturally not as good as the Pangolin's, but he still knew how to do it.
Moreover, he was currently near the withered tree. He just needed to move forward a little more. Zi Chen dived into the vicinity of the tree roots. After finding a slightly thick tree root, he pointed at the tree root.
Yuan energy appeared between Zi Chen's fingers and the hard tree root was pierced through like tofu. Then, Zi Chen felt a liquid come into contact with his fingers.
Using his spiritual sense to explore the liquid, Zi Chen found that it was indeed green Monkey Wine. Moreover, it was an entire tree hole.
"It really is the Monkey Wine."
Zi Chen's eyes lit up and he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Then, he pointed at the space between his eyebrows. In an instant, a psychedelic light rushed out from between Zi Chen's eyebrows and enveloped the finger hole in front of him.
After Zi Chen removed his finger, the Monkey Wine in the finger hole flowed into the psychedelic light and then into the Purple Gold Gourd's space.
Because the finger hole was too small, the speed of absorption was too slow. Therefore, a finger glow appeared between Zi Chen's fingers again and he suddenly slashed at the huge tree root. In the next moment, a bowl-sized hole appeared and the Monkey Wine began to gush out.
The Monkey Wine continued to flow out. During this period, there would be a sound. Zi Chen was afraid that the fighting monkeys would hear it, so he quickly released his Yuan energy and enveloped the Monkey Wine. He was afraid that the sound would leak out.
The battle outside was still ongoing. The Pangolin had yet to find a suitable opportunity to attack. However, during this period of time, it once again advanced a few meters.
It must be mentioned that because this place had become incomparably chaotic, more savage beasts rushed over from afar after hearing the commotion and joined the battle.
Zi Chen did not calculate how much Monkey Wine there was in the tree hole. However, if it were to be stored in a large vat in the human world, it should be able to hold a large vat.
After collecting all the Monkey Wine, Zi Chen spent a total of seven to eight minutes. After collecting all the Monkey Wine, Zi Chen stuck his head out and released his spiritual sense again.
The Monkey King had yet to appear, but there were more and more savage beasts. Other than the peak Level 0 savage beasts, there were also many Level 0 savage beasts. This was truly a chaotic battle.
Collecting the Monkey Wine was a serious matter. Zi Chen did not care about the Barbarian Tiger. He continued to slowly dig a hole and approached the second tree hole.
One must know that there were a total of eight withered trees here.
Just as Zi Chen reached the bottom of the second ancient tree, a Level 1 Barbarian Monkey rushed out from the mountain peak where the Barbarian Monkeys were continuously running out.
This Level 1 Barbarian Monkey was slightly stronger than the previous three, but it was definitely not the Monkey King. As soon as it appeared, it suppressed the three rodent species and beat them until they screamed. However, the Monkey King did not run away.
During this period of time, many savage beasts were continuously trying to attack the Monkey Tree. Moreover, several Level 0 savage beasts had already died in battle. As for the Barbarian Wolf, it had led a group of underlings, but more than a hundred of them had died.
"Pfff."
Zi Chen opened the second tree hole. The Monkey Wine flowed out from the hole. A psychedelic light enveloped it as he began to collect the Monkey Wine.
At this moment, the battle above was extremely intense. However, Zi Chen was leisurely collecting the Monkey Wine below. The Monkey Wine could instantly recover one's strength. It had the same effect as the Liquefied Yuan Liquid.
Even if he could not obtain the Monkey Fruit today, just the Monkey Wine from these two trees was enough to make Zi Chen excited.
This time, Zi Chen opened a bigger hole and the Monkey Wine flowed out faster. In less than five minutes, the second tree hole was finished.
Zi Chen did not care about the battle above. Moreover, he was almost certain that this was a trap set by the Monkey King. As for the goal, it should be to catch all the people who were eyeing the Monkey Fruit today.
Moreover, Zi Chen guessed that if he did not let the Barbarian Tiger lure the Monkey King, these Barbarian Monkeys would have taken the initiative to attack and cause chaos.
"Pfff."
Zi Chen went to the third tree hole and easily pierced it with his finger. However, this time, Zi Chen did not find the Monkey Wine. This tree hole was empty.
"Nothing."
Zi Chen was startled. However, after thinking for a while, he understood. This thing was brewed by the Monkey King. If it was not there, then it must have been drunk.
Therefore, he went to the fourth tree. However, Zi Chen still did not find anything.
"There are eight of them. I don't believe that all of them are gone." Zi Chen did not believe it and moved towards the fifth tree root.
"Pfff."
Following his finger, Zi Chen felt the Monkey Wine again. His face lit up and he quickly collected the Monkey Wine.
In the chaotic battle outside, there were more than forty Level 0 Savage Beasts gathered here. Among them, there were more than ten Level 0 Savage Beasts that were just one step away from Level 1.
Moreover, the entire battlefield had become extremely chaotic. The Barbarian Monkeys were no match for the Monkey King. At this moment, almost all of the Barbarian Monkeys had joined the battle.
The pangolin, who had been holding back all this time, finally made up its mind. After it silently appeared from the ground, it suddenly leaped up and turned into a beam of light, flying towards the empty tree where there were only monkey fruits.
