At noon, the sun was at its peak, and the Yang energy was at its strongest, which was beneficial for Yun Qing to recover his strength.

He found a rock and sat cross-legged, regulating his breathing before taking out the medicine Mu Qingcheng had given him. This was his last meal tonight, and her medicine would help control his drunken dreams, giving him a chance to regroup his inner strength and force them out bit by bit. Without the medicine, he couldn't imagine if he would return to a state of complete loss of all five senses. Therefore, retrieving the medicine box was a matter of urgency.

Before that, he had to recover 10% of his power. He also took out the two detoxification tablets and swallowed them along with today's medicine.

To stimulate the limited amount of true energy in the body to flow, today we must open up the eight extraordinary meridians. To open up the meridians, we must first clear the poison. The poison of drunken dreams destroys the meridians and prevents them from flowing smoothly.

The scorching sun shone on Yun Qing's head. He was sweating profusely, and white mist was rising from his Baihui acupoint.

He stripped off his shirt, leaving his upper body bare. He crossed his index fingers and pressed firmly against the Tiantu, Qihai, and Dantian acupuncture points on his chest. He was trying to use his true qi to slowly force the Drunken Dream poison out of his body. This was a bit risky; failure would backfire, and the Drunken Dream would become uncontrollable once again.

But he no longer had time to take it slow. Without medicine, Xiao Hei wouldn't live long. And then there was Mu Qingcheng. He hadn't yet repaid her for saving his life. He couldn't die in oblivion, leaving her alone. What would he do?

He had to fight, maybe there would be hope of survival! Even if he could only recover a little bit of his strength, it would be enough.

His blood was like boiling water, churning and surging through his body. Trying to force out the drunken dream was excruciating, like scraping bone to extract marrow. Yun Qing could still endure this pain, but he hadn't expected the drunken dream to be so stubborn, like a cancer attached to his bones.

In the end, Yun Qing and Zui Meng were both injured. His chest was filled with blood and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood was dazzling in the sunlight. Soon the bright red blood turned dark brown and gradually became as black as ink.

Yun Qing was exhausted and eventually fainted.

Mu Qingcheng went up the mountain to the north and found the apricot tree, but unfortunately she didn't see the stinky monkey, so she walked inside again, and unexpectedly she found the monkey's base.

There are many fruit trees on that mountain, the most numerous of which are peach trees. Ripe peaches are hanging heavily on the trees all over the mountain. The fragrance is so intoxicating that one can't help drooling just by looking at it.

Mu Qingcheng also knew that monkeys were social animals and this peach forest was their territory. However, no matter how dangerous it was, they could not resist the temptation of peaches.

It was around one in the afternoon, and the monkeys were probably taking a nap! The forest was quiet. She sneaked to the edge of the forest, carrying a basket on her back, not daring to go deeper. The peach trees were not tall, and she could reach them with her hands. Mu Qingcheng picked more than a dozen large peaches in one go.

There is another tree in front, and I don’t know what kind of fruits they are. Some look like pears and some look like apples. There are fruit shells on the ground, which must have been dropped by monkeys, which means they can be eaten too.

Mu Qingcheng quietly slipped under the tree and picked some. She was also drawn to some red fruits in the grass. They looked like strawberries, a little smaller and even redder. They looked beautiful hanging in the grass. Mu Qingcheng didn't care if they were poisonous or edible; she just thought they looked good, and she had to pick them up just for their beauty.

As she continued picking fruits, she walked deeper into the forest. As she was picking fruits enthusiastically, a fruit fell on her head, startling Mu Qingcheng. She stepped on a dry branch, making a crackling sound.

Mu Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat, and she felt something was wrong. She put the basket on her back and ran out of the woods, but no matter how fast she ran, she could not be faster than the monkey.

There was a rustling sound of branches shaking above her head. A monkey had discovered the enemy and was jumping violently on the tree, shaking the branches and making a squeaking sound.

In an instant, squeaking and roaring sounds came from all directions.

Mu Qingcheng knew that she couldn't escape, so she simply fought with these monkeys. Isn't it said that the bravest will win when two meet in a narrow road?

She took out a military knife, waved it fiercely, and shouted at the monkeys.

"Come on! Come on! Let's see which is faster, your claws or my knife."

Monkeys are highly intelligent and alert, so they all stayed in the trees and didn't jump down to attack her. A sturdy adult monkey jumped onto the branch closest to Mu Qingcheng and looked at her curiously.

Mu Qingcheng knew that the Monkey King had arrived, and that momentum was crucial in a battle between two armies. She pointed her sword at the Monkey King, as if she had a vast army behind her.

"You are the Monkey King. Let me tell you, I am not someone you can easily mess with. I am not here alone. I have a cow with me!"

"You have so many fruits. I don't want more. I just want this small half basket every day. If you are smart, send a monkey to bring them down the mountain for me. Otherwise, I can take them from you."

Mu Qingcheng retreated while negotiating with the Monkey King.

The Monkey King had never seen a human being since he took over. He was curious at first, but lost his patience after watching for a while. He suddenly bared his teeth at Mu Qingcheng and roared twice at the monkey group behind him.

Mu Qingcheng cried out in her heart, "Oh no!" and turned around to run. But before she had gone far, a torrent of fruits came crashing down on her. She had no choice but to dodge left and right, running away in panic.

Just as they were about to rush out of the forest, the Monkey King roared again, and seven or eight monkeys jumped down from the tree and pounced towards Mu Qingcheng.

Mu Qingcheng screamed in fear, waving her knife vigorously, the blade flying up and down, leaving afterimages. The monkey army didn't dare to approach her to scratch her, only gesturing from the outside.

The monkeys on the tree were still throwing fruits. A large peach hit Mu Qingcheng in the face. She screamed.

A monkey soldier took advantage of the situation and pounced on her. Mu Qingcheng covered her face with one hand and brandished her knife with the other. The monkey was accidentally stabbed, its leg cut, and it limped back up the tree. The monkeys were shocked by the sight of blood, which seemed like exploding sparks. Their squeaking sounds became even more enchanting.

The Monkey King finally couldn't sit still anymore. He jumped a few times and rushed to above Mu Qingcheng's head. Then he jumped directly onto her back and opened his claws to scratch her.

Mu Qingcheng felt a sinking sensation on her back. She was already carrying a basket, and her body lost balance and fell backwards. This fall directly pinned the Monkey King under her.

She didn't dare lie still and rolled to the side. The Monkey King had also been knocked unconscious by the fall. When Mu Qingcheng stood up, the Monkey King leaped again, landing hard on his hind legs and slamming into her chest. Mu Qingcheng lost her balance and fell to the ground again. There was a slope under her feet, and she slid down it.

The monkey king gained the upper hand and turned back to call the monkeys to attack together. Seeing the danger lurking on all sides, Mu Qingcheng had no choice but to lie on the ground and hold her head in her arms in resignation.

Moo, moo! The unhurried sound of a cow mooing came from behind, and the yellow cow walked towards us at a leisurely pace.

A group of monkeys had already rushed to the top of the steep slope, and hurriedly stopped, looking at the yellow cattle with panic in their eyes.

When Mu Qingcheng saw the yellow cattle, she felt like she had seen a savior. She jumped up and didn't bother to yell at the monkeys anymore. She thought that the best strategy was to retreat quickly.

When she ran out of the monkey base and sat down on the ground, she realized her butt hurt! Not only her butt hurt, but all over her body hurt.

"Oh! My head, the bump from yesterday hasn't gone away yet, and today there are a lot more. Oh! My face is also swollen."

Take a breath and prepare to leave here quickly.

"Ouch! My ankle is sprained. Ouch! It hurts so much."

Mu Qingcheng pulled the reins to stand up. He took a painful step, but he could hold on. He had to go back quickly, otherwise his feet would swell up and hurt even more. Mu Qingcheng took off the basket on his back and took a look. There were a lot less fruits, but there were still a lot of fruits. This trip was not in vain.
