179 Chapter 179 Monkey Wine and Metal Stone (1/2)

”...Is this the legendary monkey wine?”

With that thought, Zong Shou's soul started to drift towards the northeast corner.

This place was filled with many stones made containers of different sizes. However, without exception, they were all filled up with various fruits.

Legend has it that all monkeys would collect the fruits of the mountains and store them. The fruits at the bottom, after being squashed and pressed by those above would produce juices—which due to the pressure and the separation from the air—after many years, would become wine. Normally speaking it would be really sweet and flavourful, no less wonderful than a celestial brew.

Zong Shou had read relevant records in books but this was the first time he had seen this in real life.

Moreover, the monkey wine here was evidently of really high quality. These white apes were sentient and a really strong beast group, so the spiritual fruits they got were of high quality.

These beasts entered and exited the forests in groups. They were much stronger than those harvesters. Not only did they get enough spiritual fruits, but their quality was also good too.

Zong Shou waved his soul power, removing the fruits at the top layer. The bottom of the stone containers had liquids which gave off a thick amber color.

Zong Shou couldn't smell the fragrance through his soul body. However, he only felt his mind shake like he was about to get drunk. He couldn't help but smile, ”this fire element vein lost 6 celestial brews for me. Taking these monkey wine helps to make up for that. Who knows I might profit instead. As expected one wouldn't know if one benefits or loses until the final moment...”

Taking a look around, Zong Shou really found a few leather bags. Who knew where the white apes got them from.

Zong Shou first used spells to summon water to wash them before placing the wine in. He only obtained those that looked the best and caused more reaction from his soul. He filled up 7 bags before stopping. It wasn't that he was satisfied but that he couldn't carry too much when he was flying.

At the night wandering realm, once one fought with others one could explode out 100 thousand kilograms of strength. But when one's soul traveled in the air, it was another story.

There was nothing else here that could satisfy him. Tens of miles away there were also some white apes who rushed back. Just as he wanted to leave and fly out, he was astonished. He looked towards the deepest point of the stone hall at a giant stone that looked like a bed. On it was stacked all kinds of a beast leader. It wasn't storage but it became a comfortable nest, only the smell was slightly disgusting.

If he didn't guess wrongly, that should be the throne of the ape king—his personal territory.

Zong Shou directly used a talisman to move aside all the beast leather. He exerted strength and numerous stones and sand rose up.

Tens of feet down he saw a golden glow that shone within. Zong Shou's heart flashed in shock.

”It actually knows how to cover this time with mine stones. This white ape is really smart and can't be underestimated!”

...only to see that around that gold light were various pure metal stones. Gathered together, totally covering the spiritual energy fluctuations of the item.

Not only could one not notice anything from the outside, even Zong Shou who was inches away nearly missed it.

He laughed to himself, directly sucking and absorbing that golden light. When it appeared in front of his body he was astonished.

The item in front of him was only 3 inches. It looked like there was nothing special about it and was a normal looking stone. Its outer shell had some metal, it could be considered a mined stone but it belonged to a relatively lower grade spiritual metal.

The only thing that made Zong Shou astonished was that he saw sharp energy flowing within.

Just as it entered his hand it seemed like it was about to break the stone and Attack his soul. He was slightly shocked. He used a few spells to suppress it and let it stay calm

”How is this the energy of Yang metal? What type actually was able to form inside such a level of metal? Was the reason why that ape king mutated because of it? If this is so then I'm rich!”

He didn't have time to confirm now, he picked it up, not wasting any more time. His soul turned into a green stream of light as he directly charged outside of the hole.

Just as he reached the entrance, he heard a furious roar. Looking out, he saw the ape king, which had gold patterns on its chest, quickly climbing the stone cliff. Its eyes had turned yellow and were filled with anxiousness and rage.
