People laugh at me for being a wild monkey, but what's there to be surprised about when I becom

Chapter 16 Blackmail the Monkey and upgrade the gourd!
"What are you doing standing there, kid? Come and save me!"

I saw a group of dirty monkeys hanging upside down on a branch, and below them was a snake patrolman who was obviously larger than the others. Upon hearing this, he looked at Xia Shu who was sneaking towards him and rushed up immediately.

You old monkey, you are such a bad guy.

Fortunately, Xia Shu had already accumulated two levels of stick power by then, and taking advantage of his high position, he directly swung the stick out.

clang!
This snake patrol officer seemed to have lived for a long time. Not only was his body larger, but he also had rich combat experience. He simply gave up the attack, raised the long sword in his hand, and narrowly blocked the stick.

He was still shaken and almost fell off the wooden bridge.

"You have some ability."

Xia Shu grinned, and took advantage of the moment when the snake patrol officer's old strength was gone and new strength had not yet been generated to move forward, stretched out his hand and poked directly at the snake patrol officer's jaw.

The snake patrol officer lost control of his body and fell backwards. Xia Shu followed him, stepped on the wooden bridge, and stabbed the snake patrol officer in the neck with a blunt stick.

Just like that, the Snake Patrolman lost his ability to move and was beaten to death by Xia Shu with a stick.

[Obtain wine soaking material: Bile Pearl]

[Bile Pearl: R-level wine soaking item, increases poison damage resistance for a period of time after drinking]

"Oh, thank you so much."

When Shen Hou saw Xia Shu absorb the spiritual essence of the Snake Patrol Officer, he jumped down from the branch. His body was a little shaky. It was obvious that he was drunk, and he spoke incoherently.

Xia Shu looked at him, but was confused.

As far as he knew, the Twelve Heavenly Stems had been cooperating with humans since the beginning of the changes in heaven and earth. They should be in Liuliu Village at this moment. How come they appeared in this place?

The Monkey is a unique guy, and just because he is the destined one, another one won’t pop up.

“Senior, you are not in Liuliu Village, so why are you here?”

It's obvious that the monkey drank too much and has a slurred speech.

"I didn't want to come either, but... a big boss said... a man of destiny was born, and asked me... to stay here..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that he had let something slip. He sobered up and laughed out loud, saying,
"Someone told me that the scenery here is beautiful, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to encounter danger. Fortunately, an outstanding young man like you came to help me. I am really grateful."

What a lame reason.

Shen Hou didn't even believe what he said, and was about to walk towards a cave not far away.

Seeing this, Xia Shu hurriedly followed.

"Senior, who is the boss you just mentioned? Why are you waiting for me here? What are you doing here?"

"You just said that I am an excellent young man who is willing to help others. Please tell me what happened and I will see if there is anything I can do to help you."

Looking back at Xia Shu who was obviously blocking his way, he pushed him aside impatiently, walked into the cave, leaned directly against the wine jar, looked like a drunkard, and opened his mouth to say the lines he had already thought about several times in his mind.

But this obviously shameless junior approached him mysteriously and whispered, "Senior, you don't want others to know that you drank too much and messed up things, right?"

?

The monkey was shocked.

He looked at the proud junior in front of him and bared his teeth in anger.

"What do you want?"

He saw from the beginning that Xia Shu actually wanted to use his drinking as an excuse to gain some benefits, but he pretended not to see it.

Xia Shu is also a person who doesn't follow the rules, so he simply brought the matter to the surface.

When Xia Shu saw that his goal had been achieved, he bared his teeth and saluted, saying, "As the saying goes, it is a gift from an elder, and I dare not refuse it."

"I want whatever the senior gives me."

Shen Hou smiled and nodded at him.

"You kid..."

"I don't have much stuff with me this time, so I'll give you a three-winter worm, upgrade your gourd for free, and give you some wine soaking stuff, that's about it, how do you do?"

That’s a lot.

Putting aside other things, these three winter insects are rare items. If you want to buy them in the land temple, they will cost two million, not to mention the gourd that requires the Luojiaxiang vine to upgrade and the wine-making materials that cost hundreds of thousands.

It seems that Shen Hou is also taking advantage of me to complete the task that was originally his. After all, he is an old demon who has lived for so many years, so his brain is very active.

"In that case, thank you very much, Senior."

Xia Shu laughed so hard that his eyes became invisible, and handed over the red gourd from his waist.

"Boy, I like you, so I might as well tell you some news."

He glanced behind him at the red gourd in front of him.

"It's better to upgrade your initial gourd, it has a better future than this red gourd."

Xia Shu also knew about this, but had to pretend that he didn't know.

The Red Gourd cannot be upgraded, but the old gourd that he had at the beginning can be upgraded step by step until the final Shangqing Treasure Gourd, which can hold ten mouthfuls of wine and can almost be said to be immortal.

Xia Shu didn't say anything more and just took out the old gourd.

There was no colorful light appearing in front of Shen Hou, but in a flash, the old gourd in his hand grew bigger.

He took out a piece of lotus root that looked like a jade carving from his arms and put it in, shaking it gently, then took out a spoonful of wine from behind and poured it in.

"Tender Jade Lotus, after drinking this wine for a period of time, your body will be strengthened."

"As a senior, I am a righteous person, right?"

Oh my, that's so generous!

This tender jade lotus root can enhance defense within a certain period of time after drinking. It is an SR-level wine soaking material and its value is not much lower than that of the three winter worms. It can be said that Shen Hou was really generous this time.

"Okay, now that we have our things, let's go."

"Wine, wine, wine. It can make things happen or ruin things. Be careful."

Shen Hou warned Natsuki.

Xia Shu bowed and did not forget to absorb the spiritual energy in the cave while leaving.

Although it’s not much, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is, right?

At this time, the old gourd has been upgraded to an R-level medicine gourd. Like the Zhengxian Red Gourd in his hand, it can drink five sips of wine. However, it does not have the characteristic of the Zhengxian Red Gourd that the first sip of wine can completely heal injuries.

Xia Shu thought about it and decided to put the red gourd away.

It is not necessarily a good thing that the first sip of wine is fully recovered, because in Xia Shu's previous life, when he was playing games, he always thought about maximizing the cost-effectiveness of this first sip of wine, which resulted in him not having time to drink and leading to his death.

It’s better to be stable.

Walking out of the cave, there is a pavilion in front of you. Inside is still a big box. After opening it, you can see five pieces of broken gold, which you can collect.

Coming here, Xia Shu became a little hesitant.

Because the territory of the scholar in white is in front.

Speaking of this scholar in white, he is really screwed.

Whenever Xia Shu thought back to those two difficult days, his scalp tingled.

He was very flexible and not easy to fight. It took a lot of effort and all my skills, including elixirs, transformation and incarnation techniques, were used to finally reduce his health.

Natsuki still remembers how she felt when that guy muttered a few words on the ground and suddenly transformed into his second form.

It’s not a joke that the white-clad scholars are called the enemy of office workers.

Thinking of this, Xia Shu unconsciously wanted to play it safe.

The only guys he could fight now were the ghost, the scholar in white, Elder Jinchi and the final boss, the black bear demon.

If he doesn't fight the scholar in white, he can only go back to fight the ghost. After all, if he kills the scholar in white and rings the bell, and then kills Elder Jin Chi, the ghost will disappear as well, and he will lose a great helper.

You can also take a detour and fight directly with the Black Wind King, who was transformed by the Black Bear Demon, and then go up the mountain to fight its true form.

If this were the case, he would not be able to obtain the fireproof shield from Elder Jin Chi, and the possibility of his death would be extremely high.

So I can only choose one between the ghost and the scholar in white.

It's really confusing.
