Chapter 1756: The Osmanthus in the Moon Palace (9)
Translator: 549690339
Zhang Zian muttered in his heart, why do the monkeys value these wild fruits so much? Or could it be that these wild fruits had so hidden attributes, the kind that eating one was equivalent to three years of bitter cultivation?
He tried to channel his inner energy … But he felt like farting.
He probably ate too many wild fruits.
“Tell them that we can trade, but we have to do it face to face. We’ll get the goods with the money. Otherwise, what if they take the wild fruits and run away?” He said.
This aning was difficult to express. Pi gestured for a long ti before the monkeys could barely understand.
“Squeak!”
“Squeak! Squeak!”
The monkeys quarreled with each other for a while, and when they couldn’t win, they started fighting. Finally, they reached an agreent under violence.
Pi was speechless.
The monkeys gestured to Zhang Zian and the others to follow, then ran in one direction.
Zhang Zian gave the Elfins a look, and everyone followed. They wanted to see what these monkeys were up to.
The monkeys walked and stopped, bringing everyone to a pile of rugged rocks.
Famous and Fati sniffed at the sa ti and said to Zhang Zian,””It reeks of … Alcohol.”
At this mont, another monkey suddenly leaped onto the top of the pile of rocks.
This monkey was obviously not the sa as the other monkeys. It should be so kind of macaque. Its hairless face was slightly red, and it swayed with a drunken look.
“Luan ‘er!” It burped loudly, and its eyes fell on the wild fruit that Zhang Zian was holding. It was so happy that it scratched its ears and cheeks. Fruit! A ripe fruit!”
Zhang Zian and the Elfins were shocked. This monkey could actually talk?
The monkey obviously couldn’t speak, but since it could …
He quickly took out his new mobile phone, opened the ga’s catch interface, and aid at it.
[Ga hint: target confird: the wine monkey.]
Zhang Zian couldn’t believe it. It was an elfin?
“Navigation elfin, why didn’t you tell that an elfin had appeared?” He asked, wondering if the new version of the ga didn’t prompt him anymore.
[Navigation elf]: sorry, when you are in the middle of a Holiday Challenge, the ga will not give you any hints about the appearance and location of the elfin. Please use your wisdom to find the elfin. As compensation, the sprites that appeared in the festival challenge could be seen with the naked eye, and there was no need to capture them through the ga interface.
He understood now. If the ga displayed the Jade Rabbit’s location on the electronic map, then the moon laurel forest labyrinth would be aningless. He could completely find the vast cold Palace and the Jade Rabbit directly by referring to the electronic map.
The wine monkey couldn’t help but reach out to him.”Fruit! Fruit! Give the fruit!”
“What do you want the fruit for?” He tried to ask.
“Wine! Delicious wine! Goo Goo Goo! Luan ‘er!” It gestured the way it was drinking.
“You’re going to use fruits to make wine?”
Zhang Zian suddenly realized.
Since ancient tis, it was said that monkeys could make wine. It was said that before winter ca, monkeys would hide the wild fruits they collected in tree holes or stone caves as food reserves for the winter. However, monkeys were playful by nature and often forgot the wild fruits they hid. After a whole winter’s ferntation, the wild fruits beca a delicious wine, called “monkey wine.”
There were many rumors about monkey wine, and no one knew if it was true or not. After all, very few people had seen it with their own eyes. However, monkeys did like to drink. This was well-founded and easy to prove.
From a long ti ago, China and foreigners knew that wine could lure monkeys to approach and capture them. They even placed a jar of wine where the monkeys appeared and left it alone. When they ca back the next day, they saw Drunk Monkeys lying on the ground …
It was better to use ripe wild fruits to make wine. With high sugar content, it was easy for yeast to breed, which could convert fructose into ethanol, also known as alcohol.
From the perspective of evolution and survival, drinking wine could speed up blood circulation. Wine itself was a high-calorie drink that could help monkeys survive the long winter.
This … Wine monkey elf was obviously a drunkard. It seed to be addicted to alcohol. It scratched its ears and butt uneasily, begging Zhang Zian for the wild fruit in his hand.
Ripened wild fruits were very sweet and rich in sugar, which was rare in the forest. Probably many herbivores liked to eat these wild fruits and often ate them before they were ripened.
Under its leadership, the other monkeys might have also been addicted to alcohol. They found the food they had hidden between the rocks and treetops, such as various nuts or dried insects, and asked to exchange food with Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian wasn’t like Lord bei, so he wasn’t interested in the food. He thought for a while and said to it,””I want to find out so information. If you can tell , I’ll give you the fruit and I don’t need your food. How about it?”
“Luan ‘er! What? What did he want to ask? I’m willing to trade fruits for anything! Give the fruit!” The wine monkey couldn’t wait to sneak over and reach out to grab his back.
He quickly hid the vest with the wild fruits behind him and winked at the elves to ask them to help look after the monkeys to prevent them from rushing up and snatching the fruits. This was the only condition he could negotiate with the monkeys on.
“Wait a minute, don’t be anxious. As long as you can answer my question, the fruits are all yours.” He warned her,”but don’t you think about it, because we are not to be trifled with.”
“Luan ‘er! Ask! Quickly ask!” It burped again, and Zhang Zian quickly turned his face away.
“I want to ask … Is there a Palace nearby? Was there a man with an axe cutting down trees and an ugly woman?” He asked.
If a foreigner wanted to find sothing, he would have to ask the locals who were familiar with the situation.
The wine monkey’s face imdiately showed a resentful expression. n! What an annoying man! To brew his own wine! You won’t let us drink!”
Zhang Zian and the Elfins looked at each other and were overjoyed. This wine monkey knew the location of the Moon Palace, or at least knew where Wu Gang was.
Vladimir blurted out,””Ask Wu Gang all about it. Wu Gang brings out the osmanthus wine!”
“Luan ‘er! The osmanthus wine … Is delicious!” The wine monkey drooled, squinting his eyes in intoxication as he licked his lips.
Zhang Zian asked again,”can you take us to that annoying man?”
The wine monkey didn’t comnt and pointed at the wild fruit in his hand. He had already shown enough sincerity, and it was ti for him to fulfill his promise.
No matter how delicious the wild fruits were, they were just wild fruits. They wouldn’t die even if they starved for a al or two.
Zhang Zian generously handed the vest to it. “I an what I say. You can have it.”
“Luan ‘er! Fruit! Fruit! A ripe fruit!”
Wine monkey grabbed the vest and carried it on his shoulder. He slipped back to the pile of rocks and carefully moved a rock away.
The fragrance of the wine perated the air.
