Chapter 303: Almost Evolving Again, the Effects of the Monkey Wine

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was the longest night Locke had ever spent since he had transmigrated. If it was not for the monkey wine, he would have ripped the old man’s head off and kicked it like a ball.

The next day, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, the little langurs woke up from their sleep and found Locke. They began to make squeaking sounds. All of them panicked behind the leaves as if they had seen some terrifying monster.

“What are they talking about?” Locke was woken up by the langurs and asked Angela beside him.

“They are afraid. These little guys don’t have the ability to protect themselves. They can only rely on their natural camouflage ability to survive in this dangerous jungle.

“They are praying that we can release the elders of the tribe. In return, they can agree to any condition of ours.”

Angela listened attentively, then translated it for Locke.

“Elders? It’s fine if you don’t brew your own wine, but after drinking it, you have to destroy the rest of the wine with your urine. Is there still a need to save such a fellow?” Locke said angrily.

Angela remained calm. Then, she made squeaking sounds.

“Squeak, squeak.”

The little langurs were very anxious, jumping up and down among the branches.

“They said that this is the tradition of the langurs. The monkey wine is their main source of food, but it also brought disaster to them. Because after drinking the monkey wine, the langurs will fall into a deep sleep.

“But the aroma of the wine will attract powerful enemies. Only the elders of the clan can suppress their deep sleep instincts after drinking the wine and destroy the monkey wine.

“Not only the destroyed monkey wine is extremely stinky but it also has a certain toxicity. This way, we can prevent others from coveting the monkey wine and bringing disaster to the clan. If we lose the elders, it will be very dangerous for the clan.”

After listening to the stories of the langurs, Angela suddenly felt a sense of respect for the elders of the langurs.

To think that such a slovenly and smelly fellow was actually someone who was willing to sacrifice himself for the tribe.

The langurs were rare forest elves. It was said that the old monkey had suffered a lot in order to become like this.

“So that’s how it is. Looks like I’ve misjudged him,” Locke said.

The langurs’ explanation made sense. After all, in the hundred thousand mountains that were filled with danger, there were definitely some unconventional methods to survive.

The swans they had met previously had chosen to die than live. The langurs’ survival methods were more pragmatic.

“They said that if you’re willing to take them in, they can brew monkey wine for you on the night of the next full moon. But the price is to protect their safety.” Angela continued.

“They are actually willing to rely on me? If I remember correctly, these langurs have a very strong sense of region. I’ve never heard of anyone who can subdue these guys,” Locke asked curiously.

“The condition is that they can’t leave the forest. They’re langurs. They mainly rely on the monkey wine to replenish their magic power, but they also need to absorb the leaves and branches of many trees.

“Previously, they relied on a powerful magical beast, but unfortunately, it died in battle some time ago. The langurs also suffered a great deal of damage because of this. Now, their numbers are less than one-tenth of what they used to be.

“We urgently need to find a protector because we’re preparing to head deeper into the forest. That’s why we made this suggestion,” Angela explained.

“Sure. Tell them that I agree.”

Locke did not expect such an unexpected surprise.

He summoned the Swamp Hydra and let the langurs attach themselves to it. The Swamp Hydra had nine different magic attributes and was the most suitable for this kind of protection.

When the langurs saw the sudden appearance of the Swamp Hydra, it caused a huge commotion.

After Angela helped to translate Locke’s intention, they squeaked happily and jumped onto the Swamp Hydra’s body. The first thing they did was to help comb the dirt and dust between the huge scales on it.

“Squeak, squeak.”

The captured old leaf monkey had also woken up. After untying it, he quickly took out the small gourd and raised his hands high above his head, offering it to Locke.

“Hathaway, I’ll give it to you!”

“Little Silver and the leaf monkey are also half relatives. It might be useful for it.”

Locke looked at the gourd, which was not even as big as his finger. Although he was envious of the monkey wine inside, it was too little. It was not enough to drink a mouthful. He could only endure the pain and give it to Hathaway’s little monkey.

“Little Silver, come out quickly. you’re in luck.”

Hathaway happily took the gourd and called out her Battle Beast, the Silverback Gorilla.

The little guy was sleeping in the spatial inventory. It was dissatisfied when it was suddenly awakened. Just as it was about to roar twice, its nose suddenly twitched.

It suddenly pounced on Hathaway, its mouth wide open as saliva dripped down.

It turned out that Hathaway had opened the gourd’s lid.

“You’re a girl, please act more refined. Otherwise, you won’t be able to find a partner in the future.”

Seeing Little Silver’s back like this, Hathaway smiled so much that her eyes curved into a crescent moon.

“Oh, oh!”

Little Silver’s back could not care less about this. It constantly surrounded Hathaway and rubbed its head against Hathaway’s legs.

“Okay, okay, I’ll give it to you! Come, open your mouth.”

Seeing how anxious she was, Hathaway quickly picked up the gourd and fed it to her Battle Beast personally.

“Roar.”

Little Silver opened its mouth and the monkey wine turned into a silver line that fell straight into its throat. It immediately let out a world-shaking roar.

Its body grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye. The earth undulated like the surface of water, and a rich earth-elemental mana began to gather on its body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Brother Locke, what’s wrong with it? Is she crazy from drinking?”

Angela was a little scared and she quickly snuggled up to Locke.

“No need to be afraid. Little Silver was abused when it was young, resulting in congenital underdevelopment. After we detoxified it, although it had evolved once, its congenital losses were still not completely healed.”

“The monkey wine just now stimulated the power deep in its bloodline. It’s preparing to awaken. Unfortunately, the monkey wine is still too little. If there was more, it might have directly completed the evolution.”

The system notification in Locke’s eyes had already changed. Even the two original evolutionary routes had begun to change.

Unfortunately, it did not have enough energy hence the evolution was not completed.

“This monkey wine is actually so powerful. It’s worthy of being a treasure. If these little guys can brew more on the full moon next night, it might be able to evolve to complete form,” Hathaway said with a smile.

“This is all thanks to Angela. If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t have been able to communicate with the langurs.

“We would’ve have thought that the monkey wine that everyone dreams of could be obtained so easily,” Locke said while patting Angela’s head.
