Chapter 219: Chapter 183: Drink This Bowl of Wine

Unfortunately.

It was too late.

BANG.

Xie Shaokun summoned the last of his strength and pulled the trigger just before losing consciousness again.

The bullet burst from the chamber, burying itself in the White Ape’s back with a soft THUMP.

And,

as luck would have it, the bullet struck the White Ape right in the tailbone.

It was the highest point Xie Shaokun had been able to raise the muzzle to aim.

ROAR!

The White Ape shrieked in pain.

Its movements slowed considerably in that instant.

’An opening!’

Xia Yu’s eyes lit up as she sent it stumbling back with a kick.

Then...

WHOOSH.

...

She kicked the machetes and military knives at her feet again, never stopping.

Xia Yu didn’t kick the pebbles or sharpened sticks; she knew they couldn’t pierce the White Ape’s hide and wouldn’t do much damage.

THWACK.

...

The sound of blades sinking into flesh rang out again and again.

Soon,

the White Ape’s body was bristling with military knives and machetes.

Finally,

THUMP.

It could no longer hold itself up. It fell flat on its back, its body twitching uncontrollably.

Its breathing was shallow, taking in less air than it was letting out.

It was dying.

SWISH.

Xia Yu didn’t let her guard down. She quickly moved to a spot several meters from the White Ape’s side and kicked a military knife into the air.

The military knife shot out at incredible speed, burying itself in the White Ape’s temple in the blink of an eye.

Instantly,

the White Ape’s whole body shuddered.

Then it went completely still.

Hahhh.

Only then did Xia Yu finally let out a breath of relief. "It’s finally over."

At that exact moment,

"Yu."

a familiar voice called out.

???

Xia Yu jerked her head up. A look of delight crossed her face when she saw Little Nannan’s familiar features, and she strode forward to meet her.

Little Nannan staggered forward a few steps. When they were only about three meters apart, she finally collapsed, pitching forward and passing out.

Xia Yu surged forward, catching her just in time.

A warmth spread through Xia Yu’s chest as she took a deep breath, noticing that even while unconscious, Little Nannan’s uninjured arm was still clutching the backpack tightly.

’Her and Xie Shaokun’s injuries are too severe.’

’If they don’t get immediate medical attention, they’ll definitely die.’

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power alone wasn’t enough to pull them back from the brink of death. Little Nannan, in particular, was in critical condition, her breathing growing steadily weaker.

After a moment of thought, Xia Yu opened the backpack.

She opened the Jade Basin

and poured its contents into Little Nannan’s mouth.

Little Nannan’s body instinctively craved the Monkey Brew, so even though she was unconscious, she cooperatively drank it.

One gulp.

Two gulps.

Three gulps.

Xia Yu sealed the Jade Basin again.

’There’s about an hour left before this Mist Event ends. With this Monkey Brew and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, Little Nannan is sure to make a full recovery.’

’She might even get stronger.’

HUMMM.

Little Nannan’s breathing had stopped weakening the moment she swallowed the first gulp of Monkey Brew.

After the second, it began to strengthen.

Now,

her condition was steadily improving.

「Three minutes later.」

Thirty percent of her injuries had healed.

She opened her eyes again, her gaze hazy, and began muttering drunken nonsense.

「Five minutes later.」

Fifty percent of her injuries had healed.

She could now stand and walk, but she was still drunk, stumbling and falling after just a couple of steps.

「Ten minutes later.」

Her combat effectiveness was mostly restored. She managed to shake off the drunkenness and, gritting her teeth against the agony, pulled the military knife out of her arm. The sharp pain completely sobered her up.

She began to bandage her own wound.

A little while later.

"Drink a few more gulps."

Once Little Nannan’s injuries were mostly healed, Xia Yu spoke again.

"Yu, you should keep it for yourself. Its effects are amazing."

Little Nannan shook her head.

Xia Yu said, "I didn’t let you drink so much before because your injuries were too severe. It would have been a waste of the Monkey Brew."

"If you drink it now, it can increase your strength."

Seeing that Little Nannan still wanted to refuse, she stated simply, "You’re too weak."

Uh...

Little Nannan thought about it for a moment, then nodded.

She was indeed too weak. She had to break through to the First Grade Spiritual Ability Realm as soon as possible.

"Okay."

Little Nannan picked up the Jade Basin and took three more gulps.

This time, she didn’t hold back, taking big gulps.

Immediately after,

a drunken expression came over her face, and she lay down on the ground and fell into a deep, snoring sleep.

Xia Yu took back the Jade Basin, sealed it, and began to focus on healing her own injuries.

She wasn’t in a hurry to drink.

She needed to wait until her injuries were mostly healed to get the full benefit of the Monkey Brew.

Soon,

SWISH.

SWISH.

...

Hong She and the others, led by Little Flower, finally returned.

The moment they saw Little Nannan, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief and began to focus on recovering from their own injuries.

Only the bald man remained on edge,

wondering if he would make it out of this place alive.
