Acai's Sky

As the amber wine waves threw everyone into the air, Jin Yuanbao suddenly let out a loud burp.

The drunken rat plunged into the surging wine lake like an arrow, its fat body drawing a spiral trajectory in the wine.

When it emerged, clutching the gilded wine gourd, its cheeks puffed out as if they were stuffed with night-shining pearls, "Down there...down there's a hundred-year-old bottle of wine!"

The entire wine lake suddenly became crystal clear.

The lake bed is covered with green jade wine jars, and the seals on the jars are printed with the reign titles of different dynasties.

Around the jar of "Drunken Immortal" at the deepest part, there were nine dragon-shaped guardian spirits formed from wine circling.

The dragon's whiskers swayed with the wine, but its eyes were fixed on the intruder.

【Emergency Mission】Searching for Treasures in the Sea of ​​Wine

★ Salvage ten jars of secret wine (0/10)

★ Avoid alerting the Wine Lake guards

(Oxygen value remaining: 180 seconds)

The golden raccoon dog's tail was wrapped around a Luoyang shovel and used it as a paddle. Every time the shovel blade entered the water, it brought up tiny starlight.

Brahma flew low over the lake, its flames baking the clay seal on the wine jar that had just been taken out of the water.

When the third jar of "Ganlubai" was fished out, three compound eyes suddenly opened at the bottom of the jar - they were actually corpse worms guarding the jar disguised as sealing mud!

"Qian position retreat three!"

Acai's silver bell shockwave crushed the corpse worms into powder.

Jin Yuanbao took the opportunity to secretly drink the wine from the insect corpse, and the mouse's fur was instantly coated with a bronze luster.

Xuantian suddenly dipped the tortoise shell into the lake water. The star map projection showed the direction of the undercurrent on the lakebed. "There is a Jiuquan Eye in the northeast Zhen position. Take it quickly!"

As they dived into deeper waters, a skeletal arm suddenly stretched out from the sand at the bottom of the lake.

Those withered wrists had wine labels tied to them, engraved with the words "Tribute Wine Supervisor of the Seventeenth Year of Yongtai".

The golden raccoon broke his finger bones and took off the liquor license plate. The entire lakebed suddenly collapsed, revealing a larger wine cave underneath. Thousands of dried corpses were hanging upside down from the ceiling of the cave. Each corpse was holding a wine jar, with umbilical cord-like vines connecting to the jar mouth.

"It's a living wine-raising technique!"

Feiyue tore the attacking vines into pieces.

Fragrant wine spurted out from the broken vines. As Jin Yuanbao sucked it greedily, tender green buds grew out of the rat's tail.

Ah Cai quickly grabbed the Xuanwu jar and held it to the broken end of the vine. The snake pupils in the jar suddenly opened and absorbed all the poison from the wine.

As soon as the seventh jar of "Drunken Immortal Wine" left the water, eighteen whirlpools suddenly appeared in the center of the lake.

A green-faced, fang-toothed head emerged from the center of each vortex, and the wine waves stirred by the steel fork condensed into the shape of a poisonous snake in the air.

Those Yakshas have human bone wind chimes hanging on their dorsal fins, and the sound of the chimes stimulates the wine to form cages.

"The wine-guarding Yaksha who has been doing this for three hundred years!" Feiyue bared his fangs.

The skull wine jug hanging around Yaksha's neck suddenly spurted out green mist, and the wine it touched instantly boiled.

The snot bubbles that were spit out wrapped around the head of the nearest Yaksha, and the monster actually began to blow bubbles to entertain itself.

[BOSS Battle] Yaksha Commander Ao Qin (Lv.90)

★ Wine Mist Maze (Vision reduced by 70%, auditory hallucinations added)

★ Trident Tide (three-stage stab with drunken state)

★ Summon a wine marrow worm (secretes bone-eating mucus)

The golden raccoon turned into golden light and shuttled between the steel forks, its sharp claws specifically targeting the bronze wine order on the Yaksha's waist.

When the fifth drinking order was torn off, all the Yakshas suddenly stopped their movements and inserted their steel forks into the center of the lake to form an altar.

A phantom of Xuanjizi, condensed from blood and wine, floated in the center of the altar. Pointing at Ah Cai, the phantom shouted, "This evil disciple must be executed!"

Ah Cai rolled her eyes and said, "Who the hell is your apprentice? You shameless bastard."

A crystal wine bottle rose in the center of the altar, with half a dragon scale floating in the amber liquid in the bottle.

Ao Qin's single eye suddenly shed tears of blood: "Those who stole the wine, sacrifice their blood to unseal it!"

Nine wine dragon guardian spirits broke out of the water, and the wine arrows sprayed from the dragon's mouth forced everyone into a desperate situation.

Wherever the dragon shadows passed, the wine condensed into ice spikes, and Brahma's fire feathers hit the ice spikes and were frozen.

Jin Yuanbao's drunken state broke out at this moment.

The golden rat, with the smell of alcohol emanating from its pores, actually jumped into the crystal bottle to take a bath.

The moment it touched the dragon scales, the entire wine lake suddenly stopped—the same Taotie pattern as the gold ingot appeared on Ao Qin's forehead!

The surface of the dragon scales reflected a scene from three hundred years ago: in front of the alchemy furnace, Xuanjizi was extracting the golden elixir from the body of a young mouse.

"So it was you who stole my Ambergris!"

The Yaksha leader pointed his steel fork directly at the gold ingot.

The drunken mouse burped and spat out a golden pill with flowing starlight.

Xuantian suddenly roared: "The turtle and snake return to their positions!"

The Big Dipper's marks appeared on the surface of the golden elixir, resonating with the seal on Ah Cai's wrist.

The moment the golden elixir merged into the Xuanwu jar, the three snake pupils at the bottom of the jar turned into red-gold.

Ah Cai turned the bottle upside down on the lake surface, and the entire lake of wine began to form a whirlpool with a diameter of one hundred feet.

The Yakshas grabbed each other in terror, but were still pulled towards the mouth of the bottle by the violent suction force.

A huge wine talisman appeared in the center of the vortex, which was the soul-calming spell that Xuanjizi used to seal Ao Qin.

"Do not--!"

Ao Qin plunged the steel fork into the lakebed, but the fork broke piece by piece. When the last drop of wine was sucked into the jar, the bronze altar was exposed at the bottom of the dry lake.

The undried wine was flowing in the grooves on the surface of the altar, outlining a complete map of the Xuanwu constellation.

In the central depression of the star map, half a tear crystal is shining with the starlight.

【Xuanwu Zun Awakening】

★ New skill: Ambergris (Group Charm)

★ Wine Spirit Space is open (capacity 99 jars)

(Curse upgrade: burps and emits alcohol mist)

The altar suddenly sank three feet, revealing a staircase made of cold jade.

At the end of the stairs, nine icicles pierced the dome like sharp swords, and each icicle contained a corpse with a fluttering Taoist robe.

The young man in the middle of the icicle wears a phoenix-head hairpin slanted in his Taoist hat, and the Bagua mirror hanging around his waist is engraved with the word "Xuan Ji".

Xuanjizi inside the icicle suddenly opened his eyes, bloodshot in his pupils: "Good disciple, why don't you kowtow to the Master?"

The Big Dipper seal on Ah Cai's wrist suddenly became hot. The dark embroidered patterns on the icy Taoist robe were exactly the same as the heart-protecting patterns on her inner armor.

The man in the ice moved his fingertips slightly, and the jade earrings in Acai's arms suddenly flew towards the icicle.

The sparks that Xuantian spewed out melted the icicle, but the corpse turned into alcohol and dissipated.

Only half a jade slip remained floating in the air, with inscribed on it in cinnabar: "On the seventh day of the seventh month of the Jiazi year, the traitor Ah Cai murdered his master and stole the treasure here."

There was a small bloody palm print at the signature - clearly the size of a baby.

Beside the palm seal was written in tiny calligraphy: "Whoever takes the tear crystal will forever bear the sin of killing his master."

"It's the soul transfer and blame technique."

Cold sweat seeped out of Xuantian Tortoise Shell, "Someone used the palm prints from when I was a baby..."

Before he could finish his words, the entire wine cellar suddenly shook. From the cracked icicles, a centipede crawled out, each segment of the insect made up of jar fragments.

The insect head is inlaid with the longevity lock that Ah Cai wore when she was a child in the illusion!

The mucus sprayed by the wineworms ignited when it came into contact with air, and the cold jade floor tiles were filled with blue flames.

The barrier formed by Brahma's fire feathers was actually corroded by the mucus, and the tip of the golden raccoon's tail accidentally touched it, and instantly solidified into amber.

As the swarm of insects passed by, a blood-colored hexagram appeared on the ground - it was the horoscope of Ah Cai's birth twenty years ago in the illusion.

"Use Drunken Immortal Brew!"

The gold ingot knocked open the secret compartment of the wine cellar.

The seal of the wine jar that rolled out was printed with Acai's birth date.

When the wine was poured onto the insect swarm, the centipedes suddenly gnawed each other and eventually merged into a mirror image of Acai condensed from the wine.

There was a hideous wound on the abdomen of the mirror image, which was the fatal wound the mother suffered while protecting the baby.

The dagger in the mirror's hand pierced his forehead: "You disaster star!"

Ah Cai did not avoid or evade, letting the dagger pass through her skull - it was a replay of the scene in her illusion when her mother died twenty years ago.

The moment the dagger pierced through the phantom, the real pain made Ah Cai stagger to his knees.

The mirror image suddenly cried like a baby, and before disappearing, it pressed a bloody palm print on the Xuanwu Zun.

Blood and tears flowed from the snake pupils at the bottom of the bottle. The tears fell to the ground and turned into ice crystals. Half of a tattoo was sealed in the crystals: a Yuchang sword was inserted into the back of the Black Tortoise, and Xuanjizi's Taoist bun was wrapped around the hilt!

(Countdown to wine cellar collapse: 30 seconds)

When everyone escaped from the cracks at the bottom of the lake, the dried-up Wine Lake suddenly filled up again.

The newly brewed wine was as clear as a spring, reflecting the slowly rotating star map on the dome.

Jin Yuanbao burped while holding the awakened Xuanwu Zun, and the blood-stained words "The seventh day of the seventh month of the Jiazi year" floated in the mist of the wine.

Where the blood words disappeared, the upside-down ghost market buildings appeared on the lake surface - under the eaves, the soul-calling flags of the "Yellow Spring Pawnshop" were fluttering in the night wind.
