C16 Fine Wine

As soon as the sun rose, I was called by the boatman to help him build the ship.

After a morning of hard work, a brand-new linden boat appeared in front of us, looking at my first work. It was still not bad, but over there, the boatman couldn't wait any longer, so he pushed the boat into the water and rowed a few rounds back and forth, his mouth wide open.

"How is it, uncle? Satisfied?" Seeing the boatman so amused, I couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Hehe, I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied. Little brother, I don't know how to thank you." Recalling his own discomposure, the boatman felt embarrassed.

"Uncle, when are you going to send me across the river?" Seeing that we could cross the river, I asked the boatman. After all, I had already stayed here for an entire day.

"Oh, look at me, how could I have forgotten about you crossing the river? Hurry up and come up, I'll send you across the river."

Once aboard, the boatman steered the boat across the river.

"Little brother, why are you in such a hurry to cross the river?" On the boat, the boatman and I chatted.

"Hehe, I heard that there is a thousand-year-old tea tree on the island opposite us. I would like to pay my respects to the tree." Semi-true and half-false.

"Yeah, that tea tree was really planted by that deity almost a thousand years ago." The boatman changed the subject. "The tea tree is surrounded by a large peach grove. When spring blooms, that beauty is a good place to talk about love. However, there are a group of monkeys there. How annoying." The boatman began to complain.

"..."

"..."

At last we reached the other side of the river, jumped off the boat, and bade farewell to the boatman.

"Little brother, wait." The boatman called to me. What is it? I turned my head to face him again. "Uncle, is there anything else?"

"No, little brother, you worked so hard to build me a boat, I really don't know how to thank you for that."

"Uncle, that's not what I said. Helping you build a ship is helping myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get through." Smiling, I turned to leave again.

"Wait, little brother, I have no way to repay you. However, I have lived by the water for more than ten years, so swimming is not bad. Today, I will teach you how to swim."

Hm? "It sounds pretty good." That... "Uncle, I'll do as you say."

System Notification: Player Elf has helped the boatman to complete the mission, learned Swimming Technique. The seventh rank.

After bidding farewell to the boatman. I walked over to the peach grove.

It was already late autumn in the game, and the beautiful peach blossoms could no longer be seen. However, the fresh peach blossoms were hanging on the branches, making one drool.

He randomly picked one and placed it in his mouth. Sweet peach juice flowed into his mouth. It was so delicious. Thus, with a flip of my hands, fresh peaches fall into the ring. Fortunately, the same item can be stacked on top of each other, and after walking along the way, I picked them all the way. It seems that I have already picked around 500 rings.

"Hey, who hit me?" A peach hit me on the head and burst, spilling juice down my cheek.

Hearing the squeaking sounds around me, I looked around. I didn't know when it started, but I was already surrounded by monkeys. Some monkeys were imitating my movements and picking peaches with their hands, but they didn't have storage rings. Peach were constantly plucked, falling to the ground. So the monkeys got angry and started throwing peaches at me. Seeing my head full of peach juice, the monkeys couldn't help laughing out loud.

This is the first time in my life I've been played by a monkey. Ye Zichen thought back to what his second brother had told him: Since that's the case, you guys come train with me.

Thinking of this, without using any magic, he pulled out his sword, raised his shield, and rushed towards Monkey.

I didn't expect that before I could even rush over, the monkey had already scattered in all directions. Moreover, while running, it even turned its butt towards me and made a face.

Tsk, don't think that I will only have one way to deal with you. After withdrawing my sword and shield, I took out my elven bow and shot an arrow at one of the monkeys' buttocks. The monkey screamed and ran into the forest, not daring to come out.

"Tsk, I thought it was something amazing, but it turns out it's a bunch of monkeys that are afraid of death." Putting away my bow, I walked towards the heart of the forest.

There was no time to dodge, and I could only tilt my head slightly to the right, feeling a sharp pain in my left shoulder. Suddenly, my left arm seemed to have been removed, and without time to think about anything else, I rolled on the ground a few meters to the right. Just as I was about to stand up, the wind came again, and I had no choice but to roll forward again.

I don't know how long I rolled for, but whenever I tried to stand up, the sound of wind would come in time. I had no choice but to keep rolling forward, but luck wouldn't always stay by my side. Once again, I crashed into a peach tree, and before I could recover from the violent impact, the sound of wind came again, and in a moment of crisis, I raised my shield with my right hand.

I didn't use my hand to hold the shield, because I knew that if something went wrong with my right hand, I would definitely die. Therefore, when I lifted the shield, I leaned the shield against the tree, and with my right hand in my arms again, I unsheathed my sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the shield. I knew the power of the blow; my shield wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Peng!" The shield was ruthlessly smashed and a few cracks immediately appeared.

As the cracks grew larger, the sword came out of a crack and flew toward the black shadow like a bolt of lightning.

"Dang." Although my sword was blocked, based on my senses, I knew that the person who ambushed me was injured.

He pushed away the broken shield with his foot and jumped up. At that moment, the pain from his left arm came over, and immediately, sweat began to drip from his forehead. He gently stretched his left arm.

The one who attacked me was a monkey, but it was different from the monkey just now. This monkey's entire body was covered in golden hair, had a piece of tiger skin wrapped around its waist, held an iron rod in its left hand, and had a bloody wound on its right forearm.

He casually cast an appraisal skill: Golden Haired Monkey King, Level 30, 856/1000. Obviously, I couldn't beat him, especially after his sneak attack on me. What should I do? Am I going to die here today?

Luck was still on my side. The Monkey King's right arm was injured to the point that it couldn't hold the rod with both hands.

Seeing that I had woken up, the Monkey King became furious. It fiercely turned around and used its left hand to spin the iron rod, sweeping it towards me with the wind.

I laid on my back on the ground and rolled towards the Monkey King. Seeing that the Monkey King was right in front of me, I brandished the sword in my right hand and kicked out with my right leg.

The Monkey King didn't think that I would use this method to attack. Without enough time to react, it fiercely thrust the iron rod into the ground. The iron rod stuck close to my scalp and the Monkey King leaped over my head, dodging my attack. I raised my left hand, which had been accumulating strength for a long time, and cast a Fireball Technique. At the same time, I also cast a Stealing Technique.

The Monkey King was clearly afraid of fire. With a fireball, a large chunk of its golden fur immediately disappeared. With a squeak, the Monkey King tossed away the iron rod and headed into the forest.

Knowing that the Monkey King was afraid of fire, it got up and chased after it. At the same time, its two hands continuously used Fireball Technique to fly towards it. Right, that iron rod cannot be forgotten to pick it up.

We kept on chasing after them, and very quickly we got close to the monkeys' camp. However, the monkeys were getting slower and slower. Finally, with a long hiss, he collapsed onto the ground, revealing a long sword and a small pile of gold coins. When the monkeys in the base heard the Monkey King's cry, they scattered like birds and beasts. Soon, they disappeared without a trace.

Riding on the corpse of the Monkey King, I continuously used the Collection Technique until the Monkey King's corpse disappeared. I collected a pair of eyes and used the Identification Technique to examine them: Fiery Eyes of Truth.

He picked up the longsword and gold coins on the ground and appraised them using his appraisal technique. Sword of Courage, Attack 4-6, Level Requirement LV9. Heh, this is a good item.

After tidying up his equipment, he suddenly remembered that his shield had fallen into the forest. Originally, he could have used it to repair his shield, but it had already been quite some time and he had already gotten rid of it.

I've long since heard of the existence of Monkey Wine. Now that I've come to Monkey's territory, how can I not search through it properly? Haha.

He followed the scent and soon arrived at a pond. The dark green pond water was cute as he bent down to pick it up. Ah, so this is the Monkey Wine. Fragrance, I wish I could jump into the pond and drink it to my heart's content.

He quickly emptied the ring of all the incense into thirteen jars of monkey wine. Then, he turned around and left.
