I Can Extract Everything - Chapter 119: Poisonous Giant Snake

“Are you sure the water in the lake is the Monkey Wine, not water for bathing?” Qin Yi asked with a tone full of suspicion.

After all, what he saw right now was a lake that wasn’t too big. In fact, rather than a lake, it looked more like a pond enveloped in thin white steam.

However, behind the white steam, about a hundred monkeys, most of whom were bathing in the water. Some of them were sitting by the lake while drinking the pond water, causing their already red faces even redder.

“This… I’m not too sure about this either, Master. But I heard from the informant that the Monkey Wine is indeed at this location.” Yin Cheng hurriedly explained.

The Monkey Mountain’s history is concise. Although this mountain has existed for a long time, its fame has not surpassed a hundred years.

Before it was known as Monkey Mountain, it was just an ordinary spiritual mountain that could be randomly found anywhere.

Until later, the villagers around the mountain reported to the authorities that swarming monkeys had suddenly invaded the village and robbed their belongings.

From that incident, this mountain became famous as the Monkey Mountain, and the surrounding villages united and formed a small town called the Monkey Town.

Since the Monkey Mountain became famous, many cultivators have come here to try their luck. However, very few people are able to go home with a bountiful harvest. Most of them end up in disgraceful states.

Those who succeeded chose to keep Monkey Wine’s location a secret, while those who didn’t decide to tell the story of what had happened to them in the Monkey Mountain.

Therefore, the information contained in this mountain, including Monkey Wine, is still minimal.

Even after Yin Cheng spent such a generous amount of money, all the information he could get was this limited.

“Anyway, don’t you think what we’re doing right now is peeking?” Qin Yi suddenly spoke quietly.

Yin Cheng was baffled as he said, “It’s not like we’re peeking at women bathing. They’re just monkeys.”

Qin Yi pursed his lips and said, “How do you know that these monkeys are not female? Just because they are monkeys doesn’t mean they are male. You’re being discriminative!”

Yin Cheng was dumbfounded.

What’s wrong with his master?

Isn’t that just peeking at the monkeys?

“Look, there’s a big snake!”

Qin Yi suddenly blurted at Yin Cheng’s ears.

Yin Cheng immediately shifted his gaze toward the lake. As soon as he saw what was happening, his eyes immediately sank.

“That’s— Rank 2 Magical Beast, Poisonous Giant Snake! Moreover, it’s already reached its peak. It’s not good. Master, we must get away from here now!”

“Calm down. Why are you in such a hurry?” Qin Yi smiled calmly and added, “Have you ever heard the saying— fishing in murky water?. Judging by a large number of monkeys there, even I would have a hard time stealing the Monkey Wine from them. Therefore, the appearance of this huge snake is like a God-given opportunity for us…”

Yin Cheng was unable to calm down despite that. He anxiously explained, “Master, that thing is called Poisonous Giant Snake. Its body was covered with poisonous gas. Therefore, wherever it went, the air of the area it passed through would be contaminated by the poisonous gas. Once inhaled, even for a little, it will instantly spread throughout your body in a short time. Unless you have a Rank 3 Detoxification Pill or a treasure that can neutralize poison similar or above grade with Rank 3 Detoxification Pill, you won’t be able to get rid of the poison from your body.”

“A poison?” The corner of Qin Yi’s mouth curled upwards.

“Brat, have you forgotten who I am? Or are you saying that this poisonous gas is more troublesome than the poison in your elder sister’s body?”

Qin Yi’s words instantly stiffened Yin Cheng’s body.

Indeed, he had almost forgotten about this.

The Poisonous Giant Snake’s poisonous gas was indeed troublesome, but it was nothing compared to the poison that had made his elder sister suffer.

If even his Master can neutralize such a deadly poison, then the Poisonous Giant Snake’s poison is like a fart in front of the master.

“Well, for now, let’s wait and watch the show. It would be better if these two beasts fought. That would make it easier for us if that happened~.” Qin Yi said with a smile.

“Sorry for my rudeness just now, Master.” Yin Cheng said in shame.

“Well, our Cheng’er is just worried about his master. What a good boy, Master is touched~.” Qin Yi pretendedly wipes his xistent tears with his long sleeve.

Cheng’er?

Yin Cheng’s face darkened.

CRASH!

BOOM!

Suddenly a loud crashing sound was heard from the direction of the pool, which made the water in it scatter out like a wave. All the monkeys inside were also blown out, and some even disappeared into a puff of smokes.

The monkeys outside the pond were angry to see it. They were frantic and kept making weird noises. The more they did that, the more monkeys kept coming from all directions.

Their number had almost reached a thousand, and it was still growing along with the strange chorus of monkeys emitting.

“Woo-hoo, woo-hoo…”

That sounded very annoying even to the Poisonous Giant Snake. It let out a deafening roar that manifested like waves came crashing into the shore.

Thanks to that, several monkeys threw off wildly and disappeared into a puff of smokes.

“As expected, these monkeys are just clones, and they are so… weak.” Qin Yi muttered.

Yin Cheng whispered, “Master if we want to find its main body, we need to observe it more closely. Also, we need to collect our main objective before the pool is completely destroyed.”

Qin Yi groaned for a moment before he said, “You’re right. But we have to be extra careful. The power of the big snake is already close to the Core Formation Realm. We will be in trouble if it spots us.”

“Yes, Master.”

Thus, a master and a subordinate decide to take a risk to achieve their goals.

Fortunately, the monkeys and the snake are busy fighting each other so they can both move freely in the pond area.

Eventually, Qin Yi stopped by the lakeside.

He took out a big jar from the system storage and filled it with the lake’s water.

He didn’t want to extract all the water in this lake because it would only cause flooding in his system storage.

This wine might be a treasure, but it was only a Rank 2 wine.

Anyway, as long as he can catch the monkeys’ main body and store it in his Mystical Garden, he can get Monkey Wine whenever he wants.

Suddenly, Yin Cheng’s rushed voice rang out in Qin Yi’s ears.

“Master, the poison gas around here is getting thicker!”

Qin Yi frowned.

He took out two small vials whose contents were water-containing [Neutralize] equivalent to a Rank 3 Detoxification Pill.

This miraculous water should be enough to keep the two of them surviving in a poisonous area like this.

“Drink this!”

Qin Yi handed a bottle of miraculous water to Yin Cheng.

Yin Cheng was started.

Could this be the same water used to heal the elder sister?

He drank it without hesitation.

As expected, as soon as Yin Cheng drank the water, all the poison accumulated in his body was neutralized in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Qin Yi suddenly spoke while pointing his finger somewhere: “Let’s hide behind that boulder!”

The boulder he appointed was not far from the monkeys and the snake fight location.

However, it is quite hidden, considering that many monkeys obstruct the snake’s view.

After Qin Yi and Yin Cheng hid behind the boulder, their focus returned to the match.

Qin Yi spoke again in a confused tone, “Why did the snake attack the monkeys?”

Yin Cheng hesitated for a while before he replied, “Master, maybe the Poisonous Giant Snake wants to eat the monkeys’ main body…”

“So, it’s just hunger.” Qin Yi is enlightened.

“…” Yin Cheng was a bit speechless. He explained, “Master, I think it’s not just a matter of hunger. Mystic Beasts are also known as imperfect Divine Beasts. Apart from their strange abilities, some of their blood also contains Divine Blood. Therefore, for ordinary Magical Beasts, Mystic Beasts are good nutrition to boost their bloodline and cultivation. This Poisonous Giant Snake may want to consume the monkeys’ main body to break through from Rank 2 Peak to Rank 3. At the same time, it also allows it to upgrade its bloodline to Divine Blood and slightly closer to Divine Beast.”

Divine Blood is the term for the blood that Divine Beasts possess. Any Magical Beast that consumed it would drastically increase in both cultivation and bloodline aspects.

Even though those Magical Beasts were born with ordinary bloodlines, that didn’t mean they couldn’t improve it. As long as they could obtain certain materials and conditions, they could gradually climb up to become Divine Beasts.

Yin Cheng’s tone suddenly turned doubtful and continued to say, “However, Master, the informants never told me that a Poisonous Giant Snake was living on this mountain. Did it come from somewhere else?”

Qin Yi nodded and speculated, “This mountain is not particularly rich with spiritual energy. A rank 2 Peak Magical Beast like the Poisonous Giant Snake cannot possibly live in a place like this.. It can only explain that it was just passing through this mountain and accidentally stumbled upon something that caught its eye—that’s a Mystical Beast.”
