"Awooo, 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, it all hinges on this. You'd better give it your all!"
After observing the wind direction once more, Lin Feng slowly unsealed the transparent opening of the jade bottle. A gentle breeze then wafted in, spreading the dissolved Dragon's Breath throughout the orchard.
...
"Thump thump thump..." As
time passed, monkeys continued to fall to the ground. Fortunately, these monkeys were strong; otherwise, several would have suffered the injustice.
As the smaller monkeys around him continued to faint, the old monkey king realized something was wrong.
"Roar... thump thump thump..."
The monkey king stood upright, roared to the sky, and pounded his chest.
The remaining monkey generals immediately became alert, looking around to find only a few still conscious.
They roared in unrest, their expressions anxious and agitated.
"Heh, have we been discovered? It's too late!" "
With a faint, eerie sound, Lin Feng slowly emerged from the bushes, his expression calm.
"Roar..."
Several of the last remaining monkey generals rushed towards Lin Feng upon seeing this. But he stood still, seemingly oblivious to their presence.
"Three, two, one...fall!" As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the monkey generals indeed fell to the ground with a thud.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Seeing his monkey generals fall, their lives uncertain, the Monkey King could no longer suppress his rage. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he pounded his chest fiercely, sending waves of energy surging forth.
Then, with a leap, he charged fiercely towards Lin Feng.
"Only reacting now! Useless." Lin
Feng's fighting spirit flowed along the meridians of his back, and with a series of "whoosh" sounds, a pair of enormous black wings rose from his back. He then unleashed a powerful burst of energy, shooting skyward.
The Monkey King, enraged by Lin Feng's flight, continued to hurl boulders at him.
However, the observant Lin Feng noticed that the Monkey King's strength was waning over time. Sure enough, after throwing another boulder high 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... With a roar of resentment, the monkey king collapsed into a deep sleep.
Lin Feng didn't immediately approach, waiting another quarter of an hour until the monkey king stopped moving. Only then did Lin Feng slowly step forward, but his wings remained extended, ensuring he could take flight at any moment in case of emergency.
After passing the monkey troop's dwelling, Lin Feng strolled forward, his gaze frequently sweeping around. His powerful spiritual energy emanated from his body, searching for any possible traces of monkey wine.
After a fruitless search, Lin Feng stopped, stroking his chin in thought. "Monkey wine, monkey, wine, fruit, peach."
Lin Feng clapped his hands, "So that's how it is!" He then began observing the surrounding fruit trees, especially the peach trees.
After wandering around, he paused as he passed a peach tree, his gaze fixed on this seemingly ordinary tree. He raised an eyebrow, "Finally found you!"
He gently placed his palm on it, his soul power surging forth and seeping into its interior. Immediately, a surge of powerful energy appeared in Lin Feng's senses. "So it's because it's brewing within the tree, naturally masking energy fluctuations. No wonder even with his powerful soul power, he still couldn't find it."
Lin Feng's hand brushed against his storage ring, and a second-tier magic core longsword appeared in his palm. He then lightly sliced through the peach tree. Instantly, a rich, refreshing fragrance wafted out, almost intoxicating.
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly sliced open the peach tree, and after opening it to the size of a millstone, a wisp of rosy light shot out. Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately took out a jade bottle the size of a wooden barrel from his storage ring. With a wave of his hand, his powerful soul force attracted the monkey wine, drawing it into the bottle.
After absorbing only one-tenth of the monkey wine from the peach tree as the original brew, Lin Feng got up and continued searching. Such a large group couldn't possibly have enough monkey wine to distribute, although the majority would undoubtedly go to the Monkey King and the top generals.
After finding the locations of the monkey wine's burial sites, Lin Feng found eight more peach trees containing monkey wine in just a quarter of an hour. He
took it out one by one, leaving a layer at each location as the original brew to avoid difficulties in brewing next time.
As a highly ethical alchemist, Lin Feng wasn't some unscrupulous Taoist priest who frequently stole ancestral graves.
He knew the difficulty of creating rare and precious materials, and even though the monkey wine was brewed by beasts, he couldn't take it all at once.
After taking out most of the monkey wine, Lin Feng left the area, passing by the monkey troop. Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, "Fine, after all, I owe you all."
Adhering to the principle of "I won't offend others unless they offend me," Lin Feng reached into his storage ring and several jade bottles filled with pills appeared in his palm.
Inside were large quantities of hemostatic pills, which should be the most practical for magical beasts.
Moreover, Lin Feng suddenly had an idea and took out the Beast Language Pill he had refined as a backup, placing it in a conspicuous position as well.
Stroking his chin, Lin Feng's eyes were filled with curiosity, "Beast Language Pills are usually taken by humans to communicate with magical beasts. What would happen if a magical beast, especially a humanoid magical beast monkey troop, took it!?"
After placing the pills, Lin Feng flashed 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 this movement and put the alchemy notes in his hand into his storage ring.
Immediately afterward, his battle qi flowed from his dantian to his feet. As the Monkey King fully regained consciousness, his figure flashed and vanished from the orchard in an instant.
"Roar!"
After an unknown amount of time, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the direction of the orchard, filled with rage and fury, as if the monkey 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.
In the gradually darkening magical beast mountain range, Lin Feng continued to traverse. Although his figure was swift, under the cover of his soul power, no magical beast sensed his movement.
As for why he didn't use flying battle techniques, perhaps the kind old lady next door can answer that question for you!
