The “Thousand Days of Drunkenness” wine jar was much easier to find than the group thought.
Ji Dong thought that Emperor Wutongshen may have had a trace of the ancestral lineage of the Pi Xiu and had attached great importance to valuables.
The jar was said to be a precious wine fermented from millennia-old trees by macaques, which had collected hundreds of fruits in the forest. It was placed in a small white jade jar that was not much larger than a fist and left beside a mahogany wine rack in the deepest part of the wine cellar. On the exterior, the mud seal at the mouth of the jar had canine teeth of an unknown beast hanging off it.
At this time, Fan Luming had been the [Ghost] for almost fifteen minutes, so Mo Tiangen asked the brother of the Fan family to pass on the identity of the [Ghost] to him first.
[04:22:12]
[{Water B} passes the identity of [Ghost] to {Gold C}.]
“Okay, then I’ll do it.”
Ji Dong took a deep breath, then reached for the tiny wine jar.
Just as his fingertips touched the wall of the jar, the fangs hanging on the mouth of the jar began glowing white, and a beast with a body length of more than two meters jumped out of it.
Ji Xiao’niao had certainly never seen such a monster before.
This thing’s body and face were feline-like, but it had a pig nose and ears that were half turned over like a dog’s. On its forehead, it also had a palm-length horn that was very similar to a modern rhinoceros’.
“Crap!”
Seeing the long horn on the monster’s forehead, Fan Luming, who had at least some knowledge of ancient mythology during the preparation period, thought of the idiom “Xī Zhào Niú Zhǔ.” He thought that this could be the legend where after lighting the horn, the monsters and demons would show their original form.
But, for the time being, this rhinoceros was only a wisp of a beast soul, but it was still powerful enough to cause trouble.
The most crucial fact is that the white-haired monster was in a soul form and would be immune to any physical strikes. Whether they attacked with Ji Dong’s arrows or Mo Tiangen’s fists, it would only fall short, and they simply could not hurt it even a little bit.
On the other hand, the claws, teeth, sharp horn, and even the tail of the rhinoceros could attack those intruders who dared to touch its treasures.
For a while, the wild beast assaulted Ji Dong and Mo Tiangen left and right, up and down, and if they hadn’t been experienced, both of them would have been injured after two or three strikes.
Fan Luming, whose ability was healing-based and whose combat abilities were average, knew when he was not needed and hid in a nook, held his head like a cat, and created room for the two combatants to perform their best, never going out to cause problems.
What was worse, the lighting in the room was poor.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that Ji Dong and Mo Tiangen had enhanced some of their physical traits which improved their eyesight and night vision to be considerably better than regular people’s, they would have stumbled six, seven, or eight times because of the wine jars scattered all over the floor, not to mention being able to evade the monsters’ blows.
The wine cellar was filled with a chaotic series of “clunking” and “clanging” sounds as many wine jars in the wine cellar were smashed by the two people and animal. All kinds of wine mixed together, and the air in the wine cellar immediately diffused a strong and pungent smell of alcohol.

“P’ii iegf la jkjs, sbe ub ufa atf ‘Ktberjcv Gjsr bo Ggecxcfrr!’”
Seeing that they were bound to suffer a big loss if the fight continued, Mo Tiangen decided to take a risk.
Immediately afterward, Brother Dagen’s figure grew violently, stretched out his shirt, ripped his sleeves and trousers, and turned into a black-skinned muscular giant nearly three meters tall.
Then, using his new body shape and movement talents, he cried “aoao” to attract the attention of the beast’s soul, and as it pounced on him, he stretched out his hands and hung them on the ceiling beams, scooped up a wine jar weighing sixty to seventy catties and flung it at the beast.
Naturally, the wine jar couldn’t touch the soul of the beast, so it went straight through the body of the beast, and hit the floor with a “bang,” splashing wine everywhere.
The white-haired beast was completely enraged by this attack.
Its hatred was briefly held by Mo Tiangen, who chased him behind his buttocks and played chase in a circle around the wine cellar full of jars.
Ji Dong hastily took advantage of the moment when the monster was distracted by Mo Tiangen and darted out. He jumped over the mess on the floor, reached out and grabbed the white jade jar from the shelf, and stuffed it into his arms.
Seeing that the wine jar was stolen, the spirit of the rhinoceros-like beast immediately stopped going after Mo Tiangen and turned around, pouncing toward Ji Dong.
With a slippery step, Ji Dong skidded under the belly of the leaping beast, rolling and crawling to the other side.
Seeing that Ji Dong had already succeeded, Mo Tiangen didn’t want to continue to entangle with this white-haired monster.
But at this moment, they were blocked in the depths of the wine cellar by a wild beast, and it was not easy to run out through the mess.
“Brother Dagen, here!”
At this time, Ji Dong had already jumped to the only window in the wine cellar.
The window of the wine cellar was different from the windows of ordinary rooms. It was merely a half-meter square ventilation aperture on the side of the wall, with a series of wooden fences built on the outside, so no one could get out.
However, Mo Tiangen and Ji Dong had such a tacit understanding that they immediately understood what the other party meant.
He picked up a wine jar and threw it towards the window.
Brother Dagen’s “Kunlun Slave Blood” was known for its strength, and the wine jar smashed against the wooden fence of the window with great force, snapping the finger-thick wooden bars.
“Let’s go!”
Mo Tiangen shouted, rushing in front of the white-haired monster, tensing all of his muscles and violently gripping one of the beast’s paws.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Dong kicked open the broken fence and jumped out of the wine cellar through the window.
Seeing Ji Dong run away, Mo Tiangen also no longer hesitated, He could not care about the pain of being scratched by the monster on his stomach. Relying on his tall stature, long hands, and long feet, he reached out to pick up Fan Luming, who was hiding in the corner, tucked him under his armpit, rolled over, and sprang onto the roof beam before jumping out onto the roof, and sliding down the ridge to fall beside Ji Dong.
All this happened in a flash of lightning.
When Mo Tiangen slid down the ridge, Ji Dong had already pulled off the animal teeth hanging on the mouth of the white jade wine jar, and with a raise of his arm, threw it into the wine cellar through the broken window, along with another item.
What he threw into the wine cellar was a flint that Zhao Zhui gave him.
In the next second, a raging fire ignited.
The liquor all over the floor and the evaporated alcohol in the air were the best fuel for ignition.
As soon as the fire started, there was only a loud boom noise, and the flames of the explosion directly lifted the roof of the whole wine cellar.
When Mo Tiangen saw the flying shattered tiles and broken wood splattering everywhere, he quickly turned over and got up. He didn’t even have time to let out a curse before grabbing one person with each hand, and using his back as a shield to protect Ji Dong and Fan Luming from the debris coming towards them, kicking his right foot hard and leaping as far out from the wine cellar as he could.
“Hoo, hoo, hoo!”
The trio tumbled into a muddy field and rolled a few more times on the ground to extinguish the few sparks on their bodies.
At this time, the loud explosion and the blazing flames had long alerted the demons drinking and having fun in the courtyard. They could hear the sound of people shouting “Water!” and “Put out the fire!” Some demons were also coming towards them.
“Quickly, quickly, go, go, go!”
Ji Dong touched the white jade wine jar to make sure the delicate bauble was not broken, and then immediately turned around and told the two to hurry up and retreat.
Mo Tiangen deactivated his powers, returned to his original form and appearance, patted his tattered lapel with his hand, and stumbled into the depths of the courtyard with Fan Luming, who had staggered into the depths of the yard…
……
The three did not dare to stay at the scene of the crime and fled, hiding behind a dry well before they could breathe a sigh of relief.
“You, your time is almost up, right?”
Fan Luming, while gasping for breath, looked down at the timer on his watch and said to Mo Tiangen.
“Yes… yes…”
Mo Tiangen pulled the corners of his mouth upwards and replied in a low voice.
“Here, pass the [Ghost] to me.”
According to the original plan, the younger brother of the Fan family intended to take over the ‘ghost’ from Mo Tiangen’s body, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed Mo Tiangen’s hand.
As a result, this touch almost made Fan Luming cry out in shock.
He felt a warm and viscous liquid in his hand.
Before Fan Luming entered the [Peach Blossom Spring], his knowledge as an academic master was no worse than his twin sister’s.
He was a top student in the clinical department of a prestigious medical school, and he was still the sort of person who could be recommended for graduate school. So just by this sense of touch, even if he didn’t need to look, he could tell what it was.
“Crap!”
He immediately pounced over and ripped open Mo Tiangen’s tattered lapel with one hand.
Fan Luming and Ji Dong released a large breath of air together.
They saw that Mo Tiangen’s stomach had been diagonally slashed open. A twenty-centimeter-long opening had left his intestines reliant on his ragged clothes to keep them from slipping out during the escape.
“You are so badly wounded! Don’t you feel any pain?!”
Fan Luming was simply going crazy.
He did not care about anything else, his hands covered Mo Tiangen’s wounds, pushing his psychic powers to the limit, trying to stop the bleeding for him.
“No, it’s okay…”
Mo Tiangen’s lips moved, pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, “This kind of injury won’t kill me for a while. When we get back to the [Peach Blossom Spring] I will be able to heal myself…”
As soon as he spoke, he bared his teeth in pain but still insisted on finishing the second half of the nonsense.
“If, if I fail, the group will be wiped out before I die from serious injuries…”
“Shut up!”
Fan Luming showed the momentum of future doctors treating disobedient patients and stopped Mo Tiangen’s nonsense.
He turned his head to look at Ji Dong.
“I can’t cure Brother Dagen’s injury for a while, what should we do now?”
“Change the plan!”
Ji Dong only thought for a second and made a quick decision,”I will be the [Ghost] first, and meet Mr. Ren and your sister with the wine!”
He thought about it and added.
“As for you, first help Brother Dagen heal his wounds, then go directly to the vicinity of the Tongtian Pavilion where the Emperor Wutongshen is and wait for us!”
The Fan brother’s eyes twinkled and immediately understood what Ji Xiao’niao meant, nodding his head repeatedly.
Mo Tiangen couldn’t think of any other way, so he could only put his blood-stained fingers on Ji Dong’s arm, and hand over the identity of the [Ghost] to him.
[04:35:52]
[{Gold C} passes the identity of [Ghost] to {Gold A}.]
