Chapter 38 Monkey Wine

"The rest of you, Han Qing and Fellow Daoist Ma Qi, each lead a few people and attack from other directions."

If successful, immediately spread the word, and then the rest of the group should return to the pool.

The cultivators present subtly shifted their eyes, each harboring their own hidden thoughts.

Yuan Jiang's eyes swept over everyone; no one's little thoughts could escape his notice, but he didn't care.

"If none of you have any further objections, let's begin."

Everyone began to prepare, and the other three also began to select their teammates.

"Fellow Daoist Yu's cultivation is superb. Why not join my ranks this time? I'm sure you'll shine brightly."

Ma Qi was the first to invite Xu Yuanlang, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Two little sisters, come with me."

Just then, Han Qing invited the Yunxi sisters. They looked at Xu Yuanlang somewhat reluctantly, as they did not want to be separated.

"It's nothing, we'll just deal with those monkey demons separately."

Xu Yuanlang appeared very generous, accepting all the arrangements made by the two.

"Alright then, be careful!"

Yunxi could only nod, and walked towards Han Qing with Yun Que, who was reluctant to leave him.

……

"Squeak!"

A group of demon monkeys roamed through the mountains and forests, some carrying piles of wild fruits, others gathering a few spiritual herbs.

Although they had to be distracted by caring for these spirit creatures, they were able to leap swiftly between the branches.

"Watch out, follow them!"

Manager Chen led a group of people to set off first, carefully using the cover of the grass and trees to move forward quickly. Their eyes were also fixed on a few demon monkeys, as if they were looking for an opportunity to strike.

Suddenly, a loud cry rang out overhead; the demon monkeys acting as sentries on the perimeter had spotted them.

"Let's do it!"

Someone shouted, and immediately several magical artifacts flew out, like deadly scythes, piercing through several demon monkeys.

These demonic monkeys were only at the early stage of the first rank, with strength equivalent to an early stage Qi Refining cultivator. Now that they were suddenly ambushed, how could they possibly react in time?

Seven or eight demon monkeys went limp and fell directly from the trees, instantly dying.

"Awoo!"

The strong smell of blood instantly spread through the mountains and forests, and the monkey troop immediately began to scream wildly.

One cry after another came from the treetops, and then almost the entire troop of monkey demons came out, leaping swiftly through the treetops.

"Hmph, let's go!"

Old Chen snorted coldly as he saw more and more demonic monkeys on the branches. After giving an order, he fled directly to the agreed-upon location.

"Awoo!"

The monkeys roared angrily, and at that moment, a barrage of stones rained down from the treetops.

These stones are no ordinary things; they are formed from the demonic power of these monkey demons, and each one is at least the size of a fist and weighs several tens of kilograms.

The five of them seemed to be about to be submerged.

"what!"

The last cultivator let out a scream. He lost his footing and was hit on the head by a rock, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Before he could regain his footing, countless stones began to fall again.

All that could be heard was a dull thud and cries for help that abruptly stopped.

The other four didn't even glance at it; they knew very well that if they slowed down, they would suffer the same fate.

Meanwhile, the other three groups of people standing on high ground saw that the demon monkeys defending the nest had been lured away, and immediately took action.

"Hurry up!"

They had originally planned to set off in half an hour, but when they saw that the monkey's lair was empty, everyone immediately forgot about their previous plans.

They had only one thought: hurry, they had to hurry, otherwise all the benefits would end up going to others.

There is no trust or credibility among independent cultivators.

"Rush!"

Xu Yuanlang followed the squad and rushed into the territory of the demon monkey.

In an instant, the blazing sun vanished, leaving only coin-sized patches of light scattered through the dense forest, and the surroundings were gloomy and cold.

Furthermore, there were no thorns or bushes in this dense forest, and these monkey demons were quite intelligent, knowing how to take care of their home.

In addition, there was a faint fishy smell in the air, which was normal since it was the territory of the demon monkey.

"Everyone be careful!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and Xu Yuanlang looked up to see several demonic monkeys suddenly rushing towards him.

These demon monkeys were much larger than ordinary monkeys, generally five or six feet tall. Although they did not possess any magical artifacts, they were still wild beasts with sharp teeth and claws, and were extremely fierce.

"Thump!"

Xu Yuanlang was fighting a demon monkey and was preparing to use the Demon-Slaying Gourd to behead it in one fell swoop when suddenly a strong gust of wind attacked from behind.

Xu Yuanlang, who had already been paying attention to his surroundings, hurriedly dodged to the side, and the demon monkey he was fighting directly crashed into the attack.

After a scream, he was cleaved in two almost diagonally from shoulder to thigh.

This attack is directed at yourself!

As Xu Yuanlang breathed a sigh of relief, a fierce anger suddenly ignited in his heart, and he turned to look behind him.

Standing at the back was Ma Qi, who was calmly putting away his magical artifact. He sneered when he noticed Xu Yuanlang's angry glare at him.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you can't be distracted when fighting demonic beasts, otherwise who knows if you might die from some random attack? Don't you think so?"

"Distraction is one thing, but I'm worried about someone attacking from behind. Fellow Daoist Ma, you'd better be careful."

Xu Yuanlang's voice turned cold. This person was definitely a member of the Foundation Establishment Ma family, and he must have seen through his identity.

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist."

Machi nodded with a forced smile, and then the two of them, as if nothing had happened, resumed their battle with the demon monkey without any lingering resentment.

However, they both focused their attention on each other.

Just then, a deep roar suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest.

Then a magnificent monkey with red fur all over its body and standing seven feet tall rushed out. When it opened its mouth, it had a mouthful of fangs and sprayed out foul-smelling saliva.

"A late-stage Tier 1 demon monkey!"

The cultivators present were startled by this scene and hurriedly retreated.

The demon monkey scanned the crowd, and finally its eyes locked onto Machi, the strongest among them.

"not good!"

The moment March was stared at, he felt a chill creep up to the back of his neck in the blink of an eye.

He had come for the monkey wine, so there was no need to confront this demonic monkey head-on. With that thought in mind, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

He left the other rogue cultivators where they were, he thought to himself.

"With so many cultivators here, they should be able to keep this demon monkey occupied. I'll take this opportunity to get the monkey wine."

He had a perfect plan, but suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw something rushing toward him at breakneck speed.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, three large trees behind him snapped in half. He looked over in shock, his pupils shrinking.
