Chapter 139: Chapter 141 The Old Leader of the Monkey Clan

"Martial Venerate strength." Mu Can pondered, his current combat capability could almost instantly kill those at the peak of Martial King.

However, the Martial Venerate Realm is completely different from that of Martial King; stepping into the Martial Venerate brings about an essential change in overall strength.

"Chirp chirp chirp." The monkey leader continued calling.

"He says he can tell you are extraordinary and hopes you can help them." Xiao Hong also unusually did not oppose Mu Can, it’s apparent that Xiao Hong also hopes Mu Can could help the pitiful monkeys.

Mu Can thought for a moment, "I can help you, but I don’t have any experience in fighting with Martial Venerates, so I can’t guarantee the outcome."

Previously, Mu Can always avoided Martial Venerates upon seeing them, because he knew the uniqueness of Martial Venerate’s strength, now he was about to face a Demon Beast with Martial Venerate strength.

Mu Can also strangely felt more excitement in his heart, deciding to help the monkeys was not just a spur-of-the-moment decision, if he returned this time, he would definitely confront Donghuang, although Donghuang’s strength should be negligible to him, Donghuang’s background was still there.

Facing an opponent with Martial Venerate strength beforehand also counted as preparation for future battles.

Xiao Hong translated Mu Can’s words to the monkey leader, who listened eagerly.

The monkey leader couldn’t sit still on the chair anymore, quickly walked to Mu Can’s side, his furry little face full of joy.

"Chirp chirp chirp." The monkey leader shouted loudly, and upon hearing their leader’s words, the other monkeys also started calling out excitedly.

It seems the presence of the tiger evokes a deep sense of crisis in them.

Originally, the two little monkeys who had big opinions about feeding precious Monkey Wine to Mu Can had changed their faces and were looking at Mu Can with joy.

To know, when they were feeding Mu Can earlier, these two little monkeys were clearly reluctant, as if Mu Can owed them a lot of money.

In the brewing process of the Monkey Wine, every monkey contributed their strength, this secret room, rather than calling it a secret room, it might be more apt to call it a small space; in this space, many peculiar Spirit Fruits grow, and the places where these fruits are located are almost always fraught with various dangers.

These monkeys often ventured into such dangerous places to gather all the necessary Spirit Fruits for brewing Monkey Wine.

So, when the monkey leader decided to feed Mu Can, these monkeys displayed such strong resistance.

But monkeys are ultimately not like humans; even the most intelligent anthropomorphic Demon Beasts among them do not have as complex thoughts as humans.

Knowing that Mu Can could help take revenge against the tiger that encroached on their living space, the monkeys instantly became excited and started to look at Mu Can in a new light.

"Where is the injured old leader?" Mu Can, hearing from Xiao Hong that the tiger had injured the old leader of the monkey tribe, asked out loud.

"Chiu chiu chiu." Xiao Hong translated diligently, who now was not only helping for the sake of drinking Monkey Wine but was also filled with anger against the tiger he had not yet seen.

The monkeys were so adorable and hospitable, yet still had to suffer from the tiger’s bullying.

"Chirp chirp chirp." After hearing Xiao Hong’s translation, the monkey leader, with a grateful face, called out to Mu Can then gestured for him to follow, turning towards the depths of the cave.

Mu Can got up and followed, only to discover that beyond the cave, there was a whole different world inside.

At the deepest part of the cave, there was a secret chamber, and inside it, there was a stone bed on which lay an old monkey that looked much larger than normal monkeys, yet was very thin.

The old monkey’s eyes were tightly shut, occasionally twitching as if, even in the unconscious state, it was in great pain.

Seeing the old monkey, the leader’s eyes instantly reddened and his face was filled with anger.

"Chatter chatter chatter chatter." The monkey angrily called out, seeing the old monkey constantly enduring pain.

The other monkeys, hearing their leader’s cry, also showed a righteous indignation. It seemed that the tiger who injured the old leader had provoked everyone’s anger.

"He said this is his father, who was injured by a tiger while protecting him. We don’t know what evil technique the tiger used; he has been unconscious the whole time, resulting in his emaciation," Little Red translated.

Mu Can walked forward and observed the old monkey lying on the stone bed.

The old monkey, covered in shiny golden fur, despite the torment of pain making it look utterly frail, vaguely projected an image of its former dashing and handsome appearance.

"Purple Cloud, what’s going on here?" Mu Can, although having studied alchemy from Purple Cloud for a long time, knew very little about healing, and the condition of the old monkey seemed beyond a mere physical injury.

Hearing Mu Can’s question, Purple Cloud left the Reincarnation Pearl and appeared beside him.

A group of monkeys all fixed their gaze tightly on Mu Can, thinking he might have a way to save their old leader, when suddenly they noticed an incredibly beautiful woman appearing beside Mu Can.

The leader instantly became alert, his body hair even standing on end, staring intently at Purple Cloud, fearing that this mysterious woman might harm the old leader.

"Chirp chirp chirp." Seeing Purple Cloud appear, Little Red quickly jumped onto Purple Cloud’s body, calling out to the group of monkeys.

"This is my mistress; don’t be afraid," Little Red said, not wanting the monkeys to impulsively attack Purple Cloud.

Little Red dared to offend Mu Can but absolutely did not dare to disobey Purple Cloud. Partly this was due to his affection for Purple Cloud, and partly due to the unfathomably deep strength of Purple Cloud, which impressed a soul-deep sense of oppression in Little Red that forced him to submit.

Hearing Little Red’s words, the monkeys’ expressions softened.

It was also because Purple Cloud had retracted her aura; otherwise, if the aura of Immortal Venerable were released here, none of the monkeys present could have remained calm.

Purple Cloud stepped forward, extending her Soul Power into the old monkey’s body to check his injuries, which after a moment she said,

"His soul and body both have suffered severe damage; it’s a miracle he’s still alive." Purple Cloud told Mu Can in a flat tone.

"Purple Cloud, you must know some way to save him, right?" Mu Can earnestly hoped to assist the monkeys.

"You can do it yourself. One Primordial Soul Pill and one Body Strengthening Pill. It’s been a long time since you’ve practiced alchemy; even the Medicine King Cauldron might be getting rusty," Purple Cloud expressed her dissatisfaction with Mu Can’s focus on improving his cultivation recently.

"I’ll do it, I’ll do it." Hearing the impatience in Purple Cloud’s tone, Mu Can quickly complied.
