"Wuu!"

The ferocious cat purred lightly as it reached out with its paws to pull Bei Feng\'s hand towards itself. Then, with a slobbery bite, it grabbed the meat.

Bei Feng chuckled aloud as he looked at the large feline. This old tiger was pretty clever after all. It did not extend its claws, and the soft, meaty pads on its paws felt extremely comfortable against his skin.

Immediately after obtaining the meat, it took several steps backwards and looked at Bei Feng uncertainly. Seeing that Bei Feng was not approaching it any further, it finally relaxed its guard and chewed on the meat. Both its eyes were narrowed into slits, and a blissful look hung on its face.

"Ji, ji!"

The group of monkeys were getting more restless. The biggest among them directly leapt down from the tree and moved towards Bei Feng warily. Then, it directly rubbed its head against Bei Feng\'s leg.

The monkey\'s eyes were blazing with expectations, as if it was telling Bei Feng \'I\'ve already let you touch me, so where\'s my meat?!\'

"What a clever monkey."

Bei Feng rubbed the monkey\'s fur gently and laughed. As expected of a species with the closest resemblance to humans, the monkeys\' learning ability was really strong.

He pulled out another piece of meat, tore it apart into two and passed the smaller part to the monkey.

The black bear and the tiger had stronger and larger bodies, so they were able to handle the vast energy in the meat. However, the size of the monkey could not be compared to them.

"Ji, ji!"

The monkey jumped up and down as it called out with indignation. Why were those two dim-witted fellows allowed an entire piece of meat, but when it came to its turn, the portion had shrunk so drastically?!

Bei Feng pursed his lips as he looked at this greedy monkey. With a dramatic flourish of his sleeves, he pretended to snatch the meat back.

"Ji!"

The monkey immediately leapt several meters backwards and pulled a face at Bei Feng.

Shaking his head helplessly, Bei Feng tore up the other half of the meat into shreds and threw it towards the other monkeys, igniting a free-for-all brawl.

Thereafter, he sat down comfortably and poured himself a large bowl of wine and chewed on another stick of meat.

The commotion among the monkeys escalated until the monkey leader finally brought them away. Only the tiger and the black bear were left, staring at each other blankly.

The black bear and the tiger had unusual physiques with even greater blood and Qi energy than most Evolved Jing masters! A single piece of meat was not enough to fill their stomachs!

Bei Feng looked at the two beasts drooling over his food with exasperation. With a light sigh, he took out two small bowls and filled them with some thick, white and sticky medicinal wine and placed them before the two.

The black bear stood up clumsily and approached the bowl. It wriggled its inky black nose curiously before lapping at the wine with caution.

The tiger was even more wary. It waited for the black bear to finish drinking the entire bowl, and even hung around to see if anything happened to it. Finally, it went forward confidently and lapped up the wine as well.

Bei Feng filled their bowls as soon as the wine was finished. Soon, several bowls of wine disappeared into the two\'s stomachs. The tiger and the black bear were both swaying unsteadily on the spot.

The poor creatures had lived for so long, but this was the first time they\'ve ever tasted any alcohol. In addition, the wine was exceptionally strong. In no time, the bear and the tiger were slumped against each other and could barely walk.

The monkeys also returned after some time with a stone bowl between them. The bowl was filled to the brim with some jade green liquid, and the fragrance of wine drifted from it.

The monkey leader brought the bowl to Bei Feng, set it down before him and began to gesture to the meat before him and pointing back at the bowl.

"Little monkey, you wish to trade with me?"

Bei Feng sniffed deeply as an intoxicated expression appeared on his face. The wine in the stone bowl actually smelt more fragrant than his own medicinal wine!

Without any hesitation, he handed a few pieces of meat to the monkey leader. With a light smirk, the monkey took the meat and distributed it to the other monkeys before hurrying back into the forest.

The main reason for their hasty retreat was naturally due to the presence of the tiger and the black bear! If the allure of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat was not so great, they would not have dared to show up at all.

Bei Feng picked up the stone bowl and looked at it. The bowl was unexpectedly clean, without any dirt or dust. Although the stone bowl looked big, there was only about two jin of wine within.

Bei Feng was not disdainful of the pitiful amount, and directly poured a mouthful down his throat.

"Eh? Not bad!"

Bei Feng narrowed his eyes with enjoyment. This wine tasted extremely smooth, with a jelly-ish texture. However, it was far from being as gelatinous as jelly.

All kinds of fruity flavors permeated Bei Feng\'s tongue. On a rough estimate, Bei Feng found that there was at least 300 types of fruits and herbs in the wine!

Even Dark Jing experts would find this wine extremely useful for cultivation. Bei Feng could not even identify many of the herbs in the wine. These should be herbs unique to Shennongjia!

\'Good wine! This wine should have been kept for at least fifty years... it\'s similar to honey now. As expected of the famed Monkey Wine! If I have to nitpick, the only flaw would be that the wine still contains some impurities.\'

Bei Feng had nothing but praises for the wine. Those monkeys were unexpectedly a bunch of master winemakers! Using only fruits and herbs from the mountain, they actually managed to brew such good wine!

Still, monkeys were just monkeys in the end. To brew something like this was already very good. To expect them to filter the wine for impurities was too unrealistic. Thus, there was still a small amount of seed grains and other impurities in the wine. If not for that, the taste would be raised by an entire level!

Bei Feng took out another piece of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat from his spatial ring, diced it into small pieces, and placed them on the fire.

Soon, a plate was filled with piping hot meat. In their drunkenness, the black bear and the tiger forgot their fear and gathered around Bei Feng.

Bei Feng tossed some meat to the two fellows as he sipped on the Monkey Wine.

There wasn\'t much Monkey Wine in the bowl and though he tried to drink it as slowly as he could, the wine was finished in no time. Bei Feng felt somewhat unsatisfied as he smacked his lips. Still, he did not think of looking for the monkeys and taking their wine.

This was a very relaxing night for Bei Feng. Unlike his training in the wild forests of Tibet, he did not need to worry about the animals scheming against him, nor did he need to wreck his mind to ensure his safety.

Of course, he understood that all this was built upon the fact that he possessed sufficient strength. If it was an ordinary person, he would have already been killed by the bear and the tiger!

The mini-bonfire crackled merrily through the night, warming the weird ensemble of human and animals. Bei Feng was lying on the large tiger\'s belly and gazing at the stars in the sky while his thoughts drifted aimlessly.

The next morning, when he woke up, the two fellows were still snoring loudly beside him, fast asleep. He smiled and smoothed the fur on their heads before departing in a ghostly manner.

On the third day, he reached the top of a huge mountain and looked out over the distance.

"I should be quite near by now. That strange feeling has become more intense!" Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he executed the Bear Form Style.

As he cultivated, several streams of energy as thick as chopsticks flew over into the mouth of his Bear Manifestation from a certain direction. Bei Feng could also feel the power of the Bear Manifestation growing stronger!

This was not a one-time enhancement effect. The energy was retained in the Bear Manifestation, and would accumulate to result in a permanent improvement in strength! From the first time he executed the Bear Form Style in this land, Bei Feng\'s Bear Manifestation had grown by 30%!

The Bear Manifestation looked even more realistic and lively, as though it was a real animal!

At this moment, Bei Feng could feel that he was almost at the place where the energy originated.

Right before him was a deep gorge and a sheer cliff on the other side. Without any hesitation, he leapt off the cliff!

As he descended, a huge wing suddenly burst out of Bei Feng\'s back, stabilizing his fall. Although there was only a single wing, it was from a flying Demonic Beast which had reached realms above Xiantian. Thus, the wing had the ability to manipulate the wind to some extent. A single wing was enough to let him achieve some form of flight!

In one swift movement, he soared past the gorge and landed on the cliff on the other side. But the moment he landed, what he saw caused Bei Feng to become completely stupefied!
