I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 221 Island, Wine Pool

The ship was getting closer and closer to the island.

When the ship was about to reach the shore, the apes on the shore all scattered and ran towards the dense forest in the distance.

“Finally on land…”

Xu Ning got off the ship and felt at ease again.

“The golden-eyed demon ape was born here hundreds of years ago, but it awakened its ancestor’s bloodline, so it matured quickly.”

Wan Ye and Cyan also got off the ship. “After becoming a dao realm demon beast, it would sometimes sneak into the land of the Abyss North. Because there are more precious spirit plants in the Abyss North, it would pick some more precious spirit fruits to brew the Demon Ape Wine.”

Wan Ye put away the ship and walked towards the middle of the island with Xu Ning.

This island is not small…’

Xu Ning estimated as he walked.

This was the size of at least three canton cities in State Jifeng.

Cha cha cha.

Xu Ning soon heard the sound of branches rubbing against each other.

Afterwards, they saw more than a dozen silverback apes that were more than three meters tall, hanging from the thick branches and leaves in the dense forest, rushing over and surrounding them.

‘They are all void realm demon beasts. Only one of them is in the high level void realm, while the rest are in the mid or early void realm.’

Xu Ning could tell that these giant apes were not very strong.

They wouldn’t be able to hurt him, much less the dao realm Wan Ye.

The apes obviously noticed the pressure coming from Wan Ye, Xu Ning, and Cyan. They opened their mouths, revealing their sharp teeth. They let out low roars from their throats, warning Xu Ning and the others to leave the island quickly. “Back off!”

A loud roar suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest.

The deafening roar even came with a strong gust of air.

Thump thump thump!

Soon after, there were loud footsteps.

Among the trees, he saw a tall and huge figure walking towards them.

Xu Ning saw that it was a giant ape that was more than ten meters tall.

Its pupils were golden and bright, and its body was covered in golden fur. Every time its feet landed, it left pits.

The giant trees in front of it were easily broken. Its muscles seemed to contain endless power.

‘Is it the golden-eyed demon ape…’

The pressure Xu Ning felt when facing a dao realm demon beast was even greater than when he first saw Wan Ye.

Xu Ning had a feeling that even if the golden-eyed demon ape only used its physical strength, he would not be able to dodge its punch. He would be smashed into meat paste.

The curious Cyan also put away its tail and hid behind Wan Ye.

As a demon beast, the bloodline pressure on Cyan was even greater.

“Wan Ye, you’re finally here!”

The golden-eyed demon ape spoke in human language. Its voice was deep and full of magnetism.

A dao realm demon beast could speak human language.

This was different from Gray and Cyan who could transmit their voices. The ape was speaking through its throats.

“Jin Meng, I haven’t seen you for a hundred years, but your strength seems to have improved again. You have reached the mid level of the dao realm. It seems you can already see the gate.”

Wan Ye spoke to the golden-eyed demon ape.

The golden-eyed demon ape approached, and the silverback apes all left.

The pressure of the golden-eyed demon ape made them completely submit.

“I have already drunk all of the Demon Ape Wine I was going to give you the previous time. Now that a hundred years have passed, another pool has been filled with Demon Ape Wine. This time, you should take it.”

The golden-eyed demon ape bent down and put its face in front of Wan Ye.

Xu Ning’s clothes flutter in the breath of the golden-eyed demon ape.

“This time, I came to collect your Demon Ape Wine.”

Wan Ye did not stand on ceremony.

“Okay, I owe you this favor for a hundred years, and now I can finally repay it.”

The golden-eyed demon ape sounded relieved. It already had extremely high intelligence when it was in the void realm. After advancing to the dao realm, he sneaked into the Abyss North and concealed his aura, communicated with some human martial artists, learned human language and some social skills.

“This is your junior?”

The golden-eyed demon ape looked at Xu Ning. Xu Ning looked into the golden eyes. He felt like he could be killed at any time from the gaze.

“That’s right, I came here to collect the Demon Ape Wine for him.”

Wan Ye responded.

“Okay.”

The golden-eyed demon ape nodded, its huge head swaying up and down.

“He is very strong, only one step away from being a dao realm master. If he completely absorbs and digests the pool of Demon Ape Wine, he is likely to break through to the dao realm.”

The golden-eyed demon ape also sensed Xu Ning’s strength.

“Yes, this is why I came here.”

Wan Ye said.

“Come up.”

The golden-eyed demon ape opened its palm and placed it on the ground.

Wan Ye jumped into the palm of the golden-eyed demon ape with Xu Ning and Cyan.

Carrying the two humans and a beast, the golden-eyed demon ape led them deeper into the dense forest.

“Jin Meng, you should actually listen to me.’

While walking, Wan Ye talked to the golden-eyed demon ape. “You should go to State Wansheng. The spiritual energy there is rich and resources are abundant. With your bloodline level, you can easily advance to the high level of the dao realm.”

“No.”

The golden-eyed demon ape responded straightforwardly, “That is not where I belong.” “As a demon beast, unlike humans, we have a much lower reliance on spiritual energy. Ordinary human dao realm masters can’t improve after leaving the environment of State Wansheng—they might even decline in strength instead. But as long as we continue to strengthen our bloodlines, we will be much less restricted.”

The golden-eyed demon ape continued, “I was born here, this is my hometown.”

After the golden-eyed demon ape finished speaking, Wan Ye shook his head and stopped persuading it. In his opinion, if the golden-eyed demon ape went to State Wansheng, its upper limit would be higher.

Moreover, there would also be golden-eyed demon apes with the same bloodline as it, which could ensure the continuation of its bloodline.

Xu Ning listened from the side. He felt that this golden-eyed demon ape was just like a human. It had complicated emotions and expectations.

Soon, the golden-eyed demon ape brought them deep into the dense forest.

There was a high mountain waterfall here. On the high mountain, there were many apes gathered together in groups of twos and threes.

They were originally chattering, but after the golden-eyed demon ape approached, they all stopped talking. The golden-eyed demon ape didn’t look at the apes. It jumped with one foot and went straight into the waterfall.

Behind the waterfall was an empty independent space.

Xu Ning felt that this scene was a little familiar.

“We’re here!”

The golden-eyed demon ape put them down and continued to lead them inside.

Xu Ning could see that in the cave behind the waterfall, there were giant chairs, tables, and a bed, like a simple home.

These were all made by the golden-eyed demon ape after coming into contact with human society. ‘Wine fragrance…!

As he walked, Xu Ning smelled the pungent scent of alcohol.

Although the scent was strong, the more he smelled it, the more fragrant it was.

‘The scent of Demon Ape Wine…’

Xu Ning twitched his nose.

He knew very well that if a mortal realm warrior came here and smelled this wine fragrance, they would immediately be drunk. “A familiar smell…”

Wan Ye also smelled the alcohol.

Although he didn’t take the pool of Demon Ape Wine given to him by the golden-eyed demon ape back then, he did take away a few buckets with him. Compared to the wine of human society, this Demon Ape Wine had a different flavor.

After walking for a while, the golden-eyed demon ape brought them to a wine pool.

The wine pool covered a small area, but it was extremely deep. If it weren’t for the fact that the Demon Ape Wine was extremely clear, he wouldn’t have been able to see the bottom. “It should be difficult for you to take away the wine in this pool at once. Your storage ring can’t hold this much.”

The golden-eyed demon ape said.

“It’s fine.”

Wan Ye said, “We’ll stay on this island for a few days. After we finish drinking and digesting all the alcohol, we will leave.”

The golden-eyed demon ape laughed when it heard this. Then, a violent voice echoed in the cave. “If your junior wants to digest this Demon Ape Wine, it will take at least a year!”

The golden-eyed demon ape’s tone was firm.

It was the brewer of the Demon Ape Wine, so it naturally knew how strong the Demon Ape Wine was.

It was easy to drink the Demon Ape Wine, but it was very hard to completely digest the energy contained in it.

“One year it is.”

Wan Ye didn’t care.

“Okay, then you guys can stay here.” The golden-eyed demon ape walked to the side of the wine pool, reached out its huge palm, scooped a handful, and put it into its mouth.

“The next time I brew it, it will take another hundred years…”

The golden-eyed demon ape sighed. But this was a promise to Wan Ye, so it was not a shame to give it away.

As demon beasts, their life span far exceeded that of humans. In the long life of the golden-eyed demon ape, it could brew the Demon Ape Wine a lot of times.

After scooping out some Demon Ape Wine into a big stone vat, the golden-eyed demon ape pointed at Xu Ning, gesturing for him to go to the wine pool.

“Xu Ning, go, go straight into the wine pool and drink to your heart’s content.” Wan Ye said to Xu Ning.

“Okay.”

Xu Ning cupped his hands towards Wan Ye. “Thank you, Senior Wan Ye.”

“Thank you, Senior Jin Meng.” Xu Ning bowed to the golden-eyed demon ape as well.

The golden-eyed demon ape nodded in response.

“What about me, what about me?”

Cyan bit Wan Ye’s trousers.

“You can try some too.”

Wan Ye gestured.

When Cyan heard this, it quickly went to the wine pool and plunged into it. It drank before Xu Ning could even take a sip of it.

After taking two sips, Cyan still wanted more.

But looking at Wan Ye’s eyes, he had to move away.

Afterwards, the golden-eyed demon ape took the big stone vat and left the wine pool with Wan Ye and Cyan, going to another compartment in the cave.

“Let’s drink some too.”

The golden-eyed demon ape placed the stone vat in front of Wan Ye.

Wan Ye didn’t stand on ceremony. He just picked it up and drank it.

But immediately after he drank it, Wan Ye’s expression suddenly changed. His face turned pale, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

“Master!”

Cyan quickly stepped forward with a look of concern in his eyes.

“Wan Ye, your injuries…”

The golden-eyed demon ape had a slightly serious expression when he saw this.

He was old friends with Wan Ye, so he knew that Wan Ye had old injuries.

“It’s fine…”

Wan Ye took out a medicinal pill and swallowed it.
