181: Give the monkey a trick Monkey steals peaches

It was winter, so it got dark early outside.

It was only dismissal time, but the sky outside was already gradually darkening, the light was dim, and the streetlights had all lit up.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, because the temperature had dropped again today; in such cold weather, who would want to wander around outside without reason?

On the deserted street, only Wang Cao, with a bamboo strip tucked into his waist, and Weng Qinghua, with his left hand bandaged and his left eye covered by an eye patch, walked side by side with their school bags.

The area east of the bridge was quite remote, not far from where Wang Cao dealt with that snake Yao Beast last time, and the internet cafe was right by the river.

The two walked along, chatting about topics only they understood.

The scene was incredibly passionate!

However, just as they arrived at the river, suddenly a black shadow nearly three meters tall burst out of the water and quickly pounced on them.

The two, who had just been chatting excitedly, heard the commotion and both frowned, looking towards the river.

They were in the midst of 'debating the Dao,' right at the point of determining a winner, and some death-seeking fellow dared to come out and disturb them.

Especially when they clearly saw that this black shadow was a Monkey Monster that had swum over from who knows where, both of them were instantly enraged.

Upon seeing this monkey, they almost instantly recalled the scene where they were beaten by a large group of monkeys when their class organized an outing last time.

Enemies meeting was truly a sight for sore eyes, not to mention this guy was a monster evolving into a Yao Beast.

Facing such a thing, Wang Cao and Weng Qinghua wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.

Wang Cao drew his bamboo strip and lashed out at the pouncing monkey.

He didn't use Spiritual Qi, it was just a simple basic attack, because Wang Cao felt that killing it so early would be letting it off too easily.

However, the bamboo strip in Wang Cao's hand was now considered a Spiritual Artifact, not an ordinary bamboo strip.

This bamboo strip struck the Monkey Monster's face, directly tearing the flesh on its face, and the Monkey Monster was directly knocked to the ground.

The Monkey Monster wailed in pain on the ground, rolling around.

Weng Qinghua and Wang Cao exchanged a glance, then said in unison: "Beat it up!"

What followed was a continuous beating lasting half an hour, with Wang Cao and Weng Qinghua practically putting all their strength into it.

"Wind God Leg…"

"Cloud Dispelling Palm…"

"Sky Frost Fist…"

"Myriad Blades Return to One…"

"Heavenly Cripple Foot…"

"Monkey Stealing Peaches…"

After a fierce onslaught, the Monkey Monster was completely limp on the ground, its bones shattered throughout its body; it seemed to see its deceased mother waving at it.

Wang Cao and Weng Qinghua were also exhausted and slumped to the ground, both covered in sweat.

"Hahaha, refreshing!"

Wang Cao wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed heartily.

Weng Qinghua also said gallantly: "This time our stamina ran out at the same time, so it's a draw. How about we compete again next time?"

Wang Cao said nonchalantly: "Bring it on! When this lord researches the Anti-Straight Death Demon Eyes Seventy-Two Forms of Heaven Annihilation, that will be the day you are defeated by this lord!"

However, Weng Qinghua's chin lifted slightly, and a hint of smugness appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Ignorant! I await the day you challenge me!"

How laughable, what I possess is the Insight Eye, that so-called Straight Death Demon Eyes is merely my disguise.

After resting for a while, Wang Cao looked at the now cold Monkey Monster next to him, then simply put the monster into his Storage Pouch.

The two happily continued walking towards the internet cafe.

Now that they had adjusted their state, they were ready to go to the internet cafe to subdue demons and eliminate monsters!

… … … …

Meanwhile, in Grand Elder's office in the capital.

Second Elder and Grand Elder stayed together and did not choose to return, because just now, the Treasure Seeking Rat lying on the table had woken up.

Then it slightly raised its head and sized up Grand Elder, and when it saw Second Elder beside Grand Elder, it immediately happily pounced over, and Second Elder quickly reached out to catch it.

Afterward, the Treasure Seeking Rat curled up in Second Elder's arms, even smacking its lips contentedly, looking very comfortable.

Second Elder and Grand Elder were amused by this sight, and smiles appeared on their wrinkled faces.

Although the Treasure Seeking Rat was also a rat, the two discovered that this Treasure Seeking Rat was completely different from other rat breeds.

It didn't have the sneaky, shifty eyes of a sewer rat, and its fur was very soft.

It was quite similar to a hamster, but it looked much cuter than a hamster, as it was entirely round and came with a small tail.

However, just then, the Treasure Seeking Rat in Second Elder's arms suddenly twitched its nose, then opened its eyes and looked in one direction.

Second Elder, sensing its inner emotions and thoughts, paused slightly, then was overjoyed, and quickly placed the Treasure Seeking Rat on the ground.

The moment the Treasure Seeking Rat landed, it immediately darted away with a whoosh.

Grand Elder saw this and asked, puzzled: "This is…"

Second Elder smiled, implying: "It just smelled something valuable!"

Upon hearing this, Grand Elder's eyes instantly lit up: "You mean…"

Second Elder nodded, unable to suppress the smile on his face: "It seems it's indeed that Talent Spiritual Fruit!"

The Talent Spiritual Fruit mentioned in the diary was brought back by the Treasure Seeking Rat one day after it recognized its master.

And now that the Treasure Seeking Rat had gone out to search for treasure, the greatest possibility was that it would bring back that Talent Spiritual Fruit.

For a moment, both Elders became expectant.

"I wonder what ability this Talent Spiritual Fruit possesses."

"Who knows? All Talent Spiritual Fruits look the same, and research can't figure out anything; you only know its ability after eating it!"

Grand Elder laughed: "However, as long as it's a Talent Spiritual Fruit, no matter what ability it has, it will be of great benefit to us."

Second Elder also nodded upon hearing this.

Grand Elder continued: "If your treasure brings back a Talent Spiritual Fruit this time, then we can directly summon Mao Yushi and have him come to the capital."

Second Elder also laughed at this point: "Mm, if this fruit's ability is powerful, the greater its effect on Mao Yushi, the more peaceful the East Sea will be in the future."

"Mm…"

Time passed bit by bit, and the Treasure Seeking Rat was very fast.

It walked and stopped along the way in the capital, scurrying around, then stopping to sniff everywhere.

In just about twenty minutes, it found the Talent Spiritual Fruit in the forest outside the capital, then held the Talent Spiritual Fruit in its mouth and quickly ran back towards Second Elder's location.

The distance was not far; in just a few minutes, the Treasure Seeking Rat returned to Grand Elder's office.

Then it dropped the Talent Spiritual Fruit it was holding in its mouth onto the office desk, after which it flipped over, exposing its belly, wanting to receive some belly rubs from its 'cat servant' as a reward.
