Chapter 11: Stealing Wine
"Stinky old man, how long are we going to wait? Lin Liang chewed the grass root in his mouth and said lightly.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Lin Liang also began to be a little impatient. If he hadn't known that there was a double-ringed snake at the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm inside, he would have rushed in to pick the Iron Leaf Fruit a long time ago.
"Don't worry, wait a minute. The old man sat with his eyes closed.
Lin Liang saw that the old man didn't react, so he had no choice but to give up the plan to sneak in, lay on the ground next to him and continued to chew the grass roots boringly.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "It's coming!"
"Ah, the monkey is coming?" Lin Liang, who had just been lying down, looked up, and was about to get up but was stopped by the old man.
"Don't move, don't let them spot us!" said the old man solemnly, looking at the flat ground at sunset.
The horizon shimmers golden at sunset, making it a dazzling sight in the forest.
"Nothing?" Lin Liang rolled his eyes. "Old man, do you feel wrong?"
"Shhhh
Knock! Knock! Knock! A slight vibration sound came, and Lin Liang looked at the sunset with wide eyes. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and a black dot appeared on the golden horizon, no, a group of black dots.
The vibration sound is getting closer and closer, and the black dots are gradually amplified. Lin Liang finally saw the appearance of the black dot clearly, just as the old man expected, the black dot was indeed the group of monkeys they were waiting for.
"Squeak!" I saw an old monkey in the group jump onto a large rock and direct the rest of the monkeys to rush into the woods.
Lin Liang looked at this old monkey curiously, and suddenly he discovered this group of monkeys and the difference between this old monkey and ordinary monkeys. The back of this group of monkeys is actually gray compared to ordinary monkeys, and the old monkey who commands has a black back!
As if seeing Lin Liang's doubts, the old man said with a smile: "This group of monkeys is called the Ironback Ape, and the one standing on the big stone and commanding is their king, the Ironback Ape King. ”
"The ordinary members of the Ironback Ape Clan only have the strength of the peak of the Spirit Quenching Realm, and the entire clan only has the strength of the Ironback Ape King to reach the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm. Although it seems to be relatively weak, the flesh of the Ironback Ape Clan can be said to be the strongest under the Spirit Cloud Realm! In addition, the Ironback Ape Clan is easy to reproduce, and every time they go out, they are sent out by the clan. Therefore, ordinary lone demon beasts don't dare to provoke them. ”
After speaking, the old man found that the iron-backed ape group had all entered the forest, and immediately beckoned Lin Liang: "Go, follow them." ”
Immediately, the two of them followed the ironback ape king into the forest.
When he entered the forest, Lin Liang found the iron leaf fruits hanging on the tree, hanging on the branches one by one, if it weren't for Lin Liang's sharp eyes, he might not be able to find that there were so many iron leaf fruits under the leaves of the tree.
At this time, there was a sound of fighting in the distance, and Lin Liang and the old man looked at it, and it turned out to be a group of iron-backed apes fighting with the two-ringed snake.
I saw that the double-ringed snake kept pumping the monkeys that surged up with its tail, and at the same time shot venom from its mouth and attacked the monkeys. Although the ironback monkey is physically strong, it was only knocked away and not injured under the volley of the double-ringed snake. But it couldn't stop the venom of the double-ringed snake, and in an instant, there were no monkeys around the double-ringed snake.
At this time, the iron-backed ape king also discovered this situation, and immediately hammered his chest with both hands and roared, and his body jumped to rush towards the double-ringed snake, an ape and a snake were immediately entangled together, and the surrounding monkeys were constantly roaring and cheering.
Looking at this situation, Lin Liang stabbed the old man. "Hey old man, while this group of monkeys and the double-ringed snake are fighting, let's quickly pick the iron leaf fruit!"
"Why are we picking it?" the old man looked at Lin Liang with a blank expression. "Look, it's a great fight. ”
Lin Liang was anxious: "Old man, if you don't pick them now, you won't have a chance when they're finished!"
"Can you get rid of the Iron Leaf Fruit?" the old man rolled his eyes.
Lin Liang was stunned, and suddenly thought that even a martial artist at the peak of the Spirit Quenching Realm could not open this Iron Leaf Fruit, and seeing that he was still cultivating here, the old man didn't know the depths. Immediately asked helplessly: "Then what should we do now, we can't open this even if we get it!"
The old man ignored Lin Liang, turned his head forward and said, "This battle is almost over." ”
Lin Liang looked forward, and sure enough.
As the king of the Ironback Ape Clan, the Ironback Ape King completely crushed the Double-Ringed Snake in his flesh, but the effect of the Double-Backed Snake's venom on the Iron-backed Ape King, who was also at the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, was not so obvious. After a violent collision, the double-ringed snake finally couldn't stand the attack of the iron-backed ape king and left in disgrace. Seeing this, the cheers of the monkeys suddenly resounded throughout the entire Iron Leaf Fruit Forest.
I saw the iron-backed ape screaming a few times at the monkey group, and the monkey group moved instantly, and one by one the iron-backed apes climbed the iron-leaf fruit tree, and in an instant, all the iron-leaf fruits in the entire iron-leaf fruit forest were picked up.
In the grass, Lin Liang watched the iron leaf fruit being picked by the apes, and looked at the old man anxiously.
"Calm down, don't rush. The old man stared faintly at the iron-backed ape king resting on the rocks as if he hadn't noticed.
Seeing that the iron leaf fruit was finished, the iron-backed ape king shouted excitedly and commanded the monkeys to leave the woods.
At this time, the old man quickly got up and beckoned Lin Liang to follow at the same time.
"Where are we going? ”
"I want it to be plucked!" said the old man urging, "Keep up, or you will lose it, and I'll explain it to you when I get there." ”
Hearing this, Lin Liang could only suppress the doubts in his stomach and keep up with the old man's footsteps.
After following the apes, they soon came to a mountain. I saw the iron-backed apes piling up the iron-leaf fruits in the clearing in the mountain, and then they entered the cave one after another.
"Old man, now you should tell me the reason, can we take the plane to get the iron leaf fruit now?" Seeing that he had arrived at the destination, Lin Liang finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked.
"Don't worry, watch first. The old man was unmoved, and said lightly.
Lin Liang was just about to continue to say something, but he heard a long roar from the iron-backed ape king, and he was immediately shocked, could it be that he was discovered?
After the whistle, the apes who had been in the cave came to the clearing in the mountain, holding wooden bowls made of tree trunks and other containers.
"Lin boy, look!" just as Lin Liang breathed a sigh of relief, the old man shouted.
I saw the Ironback Ape King take out a huge stone tripod from the largest cave, and the stone tripod contained a turquoise liquid. Seeing Shi Ding being carried out, the apes suddenly shouted excitedly. The Ironback Ape King immediately distributed the turquoise liquid in the stone tripod to the apes. Under the moonlight, the apes drank it and it was a good time.
Lin Liang stared thoughtfully at the turquoise liquid in the stone tripod, and there was a slight clue in his mind.
At this time, the old man pointed to the stone ding and said to Lin Liang with a smile: "Lin boy, that's what we're looking for!"
Seeing that Lin Liang was a little clear, the old man explained: "This Iron Leaf Fruit is rarely known to the outside world for various reasons, but the wine made from it is very famous, and it is known as Jindao wine. ”
"Is that the liquid in the stone tripod?"
"No, no, no, how can that thing compare to the original solution in this stone tripod. ”
"Stock solution?"
"Yes, the strong liquor sold by the outside world is nothing more than a diluted stock solution, and although it has a taste, it has little effect. And the strong wine made by this iron-backed ape is made of pure iron leaf fruit!" The old man also licked his mouth as he spoke, this wine is also an infinite temptation for an alcoholic like the old man!
"Do you know why the back of the iron-backed ape is gray, and even the back of the iron-backed ape king is black?"
"I don't know. Lin Liang replied honestly. Suddenly he thought of something, and looked up sharply to find the old man looking at him with a smile.
The back of this iron-backed ape is indeed caused by the brewing of iron-leaved fruit, and its back is the hardest part of its body, which is why the iron-backed ape is called the iron-backed ape. Their clan has been soaked in strong wine since birth, and they often drink it when they become adults, so this clan can dominate in the spirit vein realm. ”
"So what are we going to do now?
"Rob?" the old man looked at Lin Liang like an idiot, "There is an iron-backed ape of the clan down here, and there is an iron-backed ape king whose strength is at the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, do you actually want to rob it?"
Lin Liang scratched his head and muttered, "Don't I say it casually." ”
"Do you see the biggest cave?" the old man said, ignoring Lin Liang's muttering.
"See. ”
"Well, after a while when the apes are drunk, you will sneak from the top of this mountain into the cave. Oh, remember to take the gourd in your arms and fill me with all the original liquid in the gourd. Speaking of the plan, the old man was also excited.
"What about you?" Lin Liang asked, taking the gourd.
"Me?" said the old man with a smile, "I'll go and snatch the iron leaf fruit piled up in the center in a moment, so as to lure away the ironback ape king." But remember, I can only get it out of the way for half an hour. There's no way around it, so you have to fight quickly!"
"Okay, got it. ”
Immediately, the two of them were gearing up and waiting for the moment of action.
