Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

But the monkeys were different; they were light and agile.

Lu Ye quietly hid in the bushes without disturbing the monkeys.

Bodhisattva Valley is a place where the source of water accumulates, and fragrant water lilies bloom in this place.

Because the guardian monkey's deceased mate loved the fragrance of this flower, the monkey would carefully tend to the flower in order to dedicate it to his mate.

This is an important possession guarded by the gibbon, so this must be the gibbon's lair.

"Alright... how should we implement the plan?"

Lu Ye knew that confronting the Guardian Ape head-on was not the right thing to do.

Even if one learns the Ashina style and gains a significant boost in combat power, the Guardian Ape is an insect-possessed beast, making it immortal. Even if its head is cut off, it can still bring its head back to fight.

In other words, Lu Ye couldn't kill the Guardian Ape before he obtained the Mortal Blade.

Moreover... Lu Ye also needs to rely on it to fight against the Inner Court.

The method is simple.

The fragrant water lily emits a special and wonderful aroma and is one of the materials used to create the Source Fragrance.

The gibbons have a keen sense of smell, so they would likely be able to follow its scent.

What if the fragrant water lily ended up in the hands of an imperial soldier on the battlefield?

The White Serpent is also located in a cave within the Poison Swamp, on a high cliff, where there is a dilapidated shrine. Inside, there are "dried persimmons," which are said to be the heart of the White Serpent God. If the serpent's heart is destroyed, the White Serpent God will surely be furious.

The land of fragrant water lilies lies ahead, but we must steal them without anyone noticing.

What should I do?

As Lu Ye pondered, he hid in a high tree and observed his surroundings.

The monkeys' howls had not yet ceased, rising and falling in waves.

This reminded Lu Ye of a poem by Li Bai.

"The monkeys on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains."

I couldn't stop crying...

Can't stop crying?

Lu Ye touched the oil tank in the storage space and suddenly had an idea.

Using a grappling hook, Lu Ye moved high up on the Bodhisattva's statue and quietly found the source of the sound.

In an open space, there was a troop of monkeys.

Surprisingly, some of them were wearing straw hats and carrying muskets and samurai swords.

However, it seems these things were salvaged from the battlefield. After all, when dealing with the mountain people, to get to the vicinity of that village on the hilltop, one had to pass through a small-scale battlefield, and it was said that many corpses were left unattended.

At this moment, the monkeys were arguing around a black earthenware pot in the center, chattering incessantly from the beginning.

"Oh, fighting over drinks?" Lu Ye laughed.

That's how we found a solution.

Lu Ye took out the compressed biscuits he carried with him, crushed them, and tore open a large gap, releasing a rich aroma of scallions.

"Since we've been drinking, how can we not have some snacks to go with the drinks?"

Lu Ye gently tossed the compressed biscuit into an open area near the monkey troop, then continued to hide and observe the situation.

The monkeys were arguing when suddenly one of them smelled a very fragrant aroma and began to search around.

Not only it, but more and more monkeys have noticed the strong aroma of scallion oil. It's a smell of food they've never encountered before, and the aroma alone has made many monkeys drool.

Suddenly, a monkey found the bag. It bared its teeth at its companions, trying to protect its food, but was met with a group attack.

The wine bar in the middle of the open space was suddenly deserted... no one cared anymore.

Lu Ye seized the opportunity, threw out the grappling hook, hooked it onto the mouth of the wine jar, and lifted it up.

As expected, a monkey is a monkey; it picks up sesame seeds but loses watermelons.

He then took out the oil can, used a wedge to create cracks on its surface, and then used it to replace the wine.

Soon, the monkeys finished fighting over the compressed biscuits and turned to divide the jar of "wine".

Finally, a white-haired ape carrying two swords drove away the surrounding monkeys.

It picked up the wine jar by itself, tore off the seal, and brought its mouth, still covered in biscuit crumbs, close to the bottle opening.

But just then, the bottle shattered, and a large amount of liquid splashed onto the white-haired gibbon and the ground. In an instant, the surrounding monkeys went crazy, licking the ground and getting themselves covered in the liquid.

But by the time they realized the liquid tasted strange, it was too late.

The white-haired griffon seemed to sense something. It raised its head and saw a human squatting on top of the Buddha statue.

Before it could make a move, the human raised some small mechanical device in its hand.

"boom!"

As the gunshots echoed through the Bodhisattva Valley, the monkey troop was instantly ignited!

——"Yan Shang"!

In an instant, cries of agony filled the air as the burning monkeys writhed on the ground in agony, some even igniting the unburnt monkeys, creating utter chaos.

Just seconds later, a huge roar came from the deep valley ahead, and the ground trembled slightly. Some enormous creature was rushing towards them.

Chapter 139 White Snake God

That was the figure of a gorilla.

By the time it arrived, Lu Ye had already disappeared.

He intended to use these monkeys to attract the attention of the gorillas.

A gorilla that travels thousands of miles to seek revenge on the mountain man for the sake of its fellow humans who were eaten must care a lot about its subordinates and would certainly not let them be burned alive.

While the Lion Ape was away from the water source, Lu Ye successfully obtained the Fragrant Water Lily.

It is a blue-white lotus flower that grows in a cave where the source of the water has accumulated.

Lu Ye picked it up and smelled it; it did indeed have a peculiar smell.

It smells wonderful, but it's not just any ordinary fragrance; just smelling it brings back memories of a happy time.

Lu Ye shook his head and carefully put the fragrant water lily into his storage space.

Its fragrance cannot be released yet.

Before the Lion Ape returned and discovered that the Fragrant Water Lily was missing, Lu Ye headed to his second destination for the day.

——Poison Swamp.

There is a shortcut, which is below where the gibbons drink water.

It is impossible to reach by normal means, because the height of the poisonous swamp is too far, and one slip would result in being smashed to pieces.

But Lu Ye has the hook rope that Yongzhen gave him.

Using a grappling hook, Lu Ye swiftly descended from the trees growing on the cliff face.

I landed on a rock, surrounded by lush green mud that emitted a strong stench and was bubbling with bubbles, just like the soup simmering in a witch's pot in a fairy tale.

The enormous white serpent god was in a hidden cave ahead.

One theory is that this toxic swamp evolved from its excrement. Whether this is true or not, Lu Ye will not discuss it for now, but this swamp is indeed very smelly.

And just as its name suggests, this swamp is poisonous.

Once there is contact, the toxins can penetrate the skin through the clothing. Even without direct contact, the odor here can still affect people.

Lu Ye carefully crossed the swamp and then found the cave.

But outside the cave, there was a strange tent, and it looked like someone was behind it.

"Hello, hello," the man said.

"You are... from the Sacrifice Gang?" Lu Ye asked.

The so-called "memorial service gang" consists of merchants who appear in places of war or plague. They sell various items under the guise of providing for the dead.

“That’s right, listen to me… whatever you do, don’t go into the cave ahead. The old shrine inside is the dwelling place of the serpent god, and if you are swallowed by the serpent god, we won’t be able to support you.”

"...Thank you for your advice."

After saying this, Lu Ye walked into the cave.

"Since you're determined to go, there's no way to make you happy... By the way, should we do something for the memorial service?"

"A memorial service?"

"I sell these things to pray for the dead. As I see it, your hands are now starting to get stained with blood... Go and make offerings, how about accumulating some blessings for yourself?"

"What do you have here?" Lu Ye asked.

"They're all here, take a look..."

Lu Ye looked at the items the sacrificial gang had brought out: antidote powder, pills, and some yellow gunpowder.

But the most noteworthy is one of the crooked gourds covered in green moss.

"We need everything except gunpowder."

"Hehe... Okay."

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

Lu Ye carefully put away the antidote powder and pills, then fastened the green gourd to his waist.

Needless to say, the detoxifying powder is also good.

Gunpowder is a material used in gunpowder, so it's useless to him.

The pills can slowly restore physical strength and heal injuries.

The green gourd can increase resistance to poison, and it will fully restore resistance each time you rest at the Sculptor's Idol.

Incidentally, Lu Ye asked Jiu Lang for the money before leaving. Although Jiu Lang didn't have any money, he went to find Genichiro immediately after hearing the news.
