Chapter 182 Shield
Chapter 182 Shield
Behind the waterfall, the sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time in the empty cave. Light shone through the cracks in the rocks and into the cave, allowing Chu Deng to see the situation inside at a glance.
She released her senses and only went in after confirming there was no danger. Even with Jin Dahai in tow, Chu Deng still had a sense of crisis.
"It's so cool here." Although the temperature was low on the mountain, Jin Dahai climbed up and down, watching a battle between apes and superhumans with his heart pounding, and he was covered in sweat.
Fortunately, I've been training a lot with Xiao Yuan recently, so I still have the energy to come and find Monkey Wine.
The mist from the waterfall and the coolness of the cave refreshed Jin Dahai. He glanced around and, although he didn't have Chu Deng's keen eyesight, he looked around the cave and wondered, "This doesn't look like a place where there's alcohol."
After saying that, he laughed again. But then again, how can a monkey brew wine?
Do you really expect a bunch of monkeys to brew wine in a big water tank? It's just a natural container; the fruit is put in and ferments naturally to form wine.
Chu Deng twitched her nose, trying to distinguish the various scents. A faint, almost imperceptible smell of alcohol drifted into her nostrils, drawing her gaze like a thread.
"There's wine." As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Deng strode away and walked straight to a corner.
Although the waterfall cave was relatively spacious, there were some large rocks. A huge rock in the corner blocked the view. When Chu Deng got closer, he found a round stone bowl behind the rock, filled with pale yellow liquid that gave off a fruity fragrance.
"pat...pat..."
Water droplets dripped continuously from the cave ceiling into the bowl. When Chu Deng looked up, he saw a white thread hanging from the cave ceiling. A sharp, protruding rock hooked the white thread, and glistening water droplets seeped out from the white thread and finally fell into the stone bowl.
Chu Deng brought her hand closer to the stone bowl and smelled it, confirming that this was the source of the alcohol smell. She then stretched her hand outwards.
The fire tree protecting Jin Dahai tactfully merged its leaves together, giving her a large leaf.
Chu Deng used a leaf as a container to scoop up some fruit wine and took a sip.
Jin Dahai observed Chu Deng's expression and was a little worried that Chu Deng might get into trouble by drinking something reckless, but Chu Deng was, after all, a superhuman, so he didn't say much.
Chu Deng felt somewhat disappointed. Although the natural fruit wine was fragrant and mellow, it wasn't anything special and wasn't as amazing as she had imagined. Moreover, as a superhuman, her physical condition was different. She could metabolize even high-concentration alcohol, let alone this kind of natural fruit wine. To her, the wine tasted as weak as water.
"No problem, it's drinkable." But it doesn't taste good. Chu Deng returned the leaf to Huo Shu, who buried it in his flowerpot and then handed a small leaf to Jin Dahai.
Jin Dahai happily took the spoon-like leaf, scooped up a mouthful, and drank it. He found it mellow and fragrant, with a hint of fruity sweetness, which suited his taste quite well.
Unfortunately, there was no container to take it with me.
Jin Dahai was drinking with the small leaf spoon, while Chu Deng looked up at the white net used for filtering above her head.
The snow-white net was made of some unknown material, and Chu Deng's senses could not see anything inside it at all.
"Dark Cloud, take it down."
The dark cloud flapped its wings, about to raise its claws to grab the white net on the cave ceiling, when suddenly it let out a sharp shriek.
Chu Deng's eyes sharpened, and flames erupted instantly, sweeping across the white net like rays.
A hole appeared in the white net, emitting the peculiar smell of burning protein. The white net drifted down from the top of the cave, and a snake, its tongue flicking, coiled on a stone pillar at the top of the cave, its icy blue eyes fixed on Chu Deng.
