BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1962 - 1962: Rescue 2
“What’s the matter?” Zhou Huaijin asked anxiously, concerned that something unexpected had occurred. He quickly moved closer, positioning himself as a shield to protect Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan gently shook her head and pointed to a corner of the cave. Her voice carried a tone of surprise. “Look.”
Zhou Huaijin followed her gaze, trying to comprehend the cause of her astonishment.
However, he couldn’t grasp why she was exclaiming or why there was a sense of surprise in the air.
He felt slightly perplexed.
Within the cave, only the lifeless bodies of the white monkeys were strewn about. There were only a few jars haphazardly placed in the corner. Those jars might have been looted from individuals the monkeys had attacked and then stored here.
Observing his confusion, Gu Chaoyan took his hand and led him towards the corner.
She spoke patiently, “Can you smell it?”
“The scent of wine.
“These white monkeys are exceptional at brewing wine, particularly peach wine. Judging by the aroma, these wines have aged considerably.”
“Although the wine isn’t of much use to me personally, it would be highly beneficial for cultivators. It’s even more potent than those pills.”
“Let’s take it with us. I didn’t expect such an unexpected reward from this venture.” Gu Chaoyan appeared elated, expressing a genuine fondness for the wine.
Zhou Huaijin was equally surprised.
Simultaneously, Zhou Huaijin let out a sigh of relief. He was glad that the wine hadn’t been caught in the explosion earlier; otherwise, it would have been a tremendous loss.
With their interspatial ring, it was convenient to transport such a large quantity of wine, as long as they kept it within the ring’s 500-meter range. Gu Chaoyan requested that Zhou Huaijin store all the wine, as she intended to diqtrihlltp it Int-pr
Before leaving, they took a final glance at the cave, ensuring they hadn’t missed anything significant.
The secret guards who had been waiting anxiously on the outskirts breathed a collective sigh of relief upon seeing their return.
After all, they had encountered demons in human form, which had understandably caused great concern. They had all witnessed the power of those demons.
Among the secret guards, Gu Chaoyan noticed the person who had been chased earlier.
Although they bore injuries of varying degrees, they had treated themselves with their own medicine.
Approaching Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin, the person expressed gratitude, saying, “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, we would have perished at the hands of those white monkeys.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded, not taking the gratitude to heart.
Her curiosity piqued, she inquired casually, “How did you encounter those creatures?”
Upon hearing the question, the group displayed evident anger. One of them replied, “We possess some cultivation levels, but they are quite low, and we lack the means to acquire Spirit Stones for cultivation advancement. When the barrier gate opened, chaos ensued outside. Seeking refuge, we decided to hide in these mountains, hoping to chance upon minor demons.”
“Who knew that we would encounter such a cunning white monkey? I don’t know how they cultivated, but they actually took on human form and looked for us to lead the way. When we weren’t paying attention, they wanted to attack. Fortunately, we were more advanced and encountered you guys.
Otherwise, we would have died in this mountain today.”
These people clearly looked like they had survived a calamity..
