The intoxicating aroma of the monkey wine was enough to make one drunk just by smelling it. Coupled with its amber color, it was an irresistible temptation.

Of course, she didn’t take advantage of them. She gave them about 20,000 pounds of various fruits in exchange for 500 pounds of monkey wine.

Meanwhile, Gu Chengrui led his two children, Lin Yitian, and five others on their trek.

After securing their leggings and applying generous amounts of insect repellent, they ventured deep into the mountains.

Lin Yitian initially worried about the children’s ability to keep pace. However, despite their small size, they bounced and skipped along, even faster than the adults.

Especially Guoguo, who acted as if she had entered her own backyard the moment she entered the mountains. She played carefree and happily, quickly leaving them behind in the dust.

“Guoguo, don’t run too far!” Gu Chengrui called out hurriedly.

“Got it, Daddy! I won’t go too far from you guys,” Guoguo shouted back without turning her head.

At the same time, she picked medicinal herbs and wildflowers along the way and even found some wild vegetables.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui wasn’t worried about her. Although Guoguo was only at the fifth stage of her cultivation training, she now had a certain range of spiritual awareness. She could still handle it as long as it wasn’t a large predator like a tiger or a bear.

Chenchen, on the other hand, wasn’t interested in flowers and plants. As soon as he entered the mountains, he used his specially made crossbow to hunt for prey, not even sparing the small birds in the trees.

Gu Chengrui noticed this and stopped him. “If you want to hunt, go for wild chickens or rabbits. There’s no point in killing small birds that aren’t edible. It’s better to let them live in the forest.”

“Hehe, okay, Daddy,” Chenchen chuckled, then started picking and choosing what to shoot.

He looked up just in time to see a flock of geese flying overhead. He immediately nocked an arrow and fired.

A mournful cry followed, and one goose landed not far away, flapping its wings a few times before going limp.

Lin Yitian exclaimed in surprise, “Eldest Young Master, good archery! You can practically shoot through a willow leaf at a hundred paces!”

“Just average,” Chenchen scratched his head and grinned.

“You’re quite modest, aren’t you?” Gu Chengrui said as he tapped Chenchen’s head jokingly.

Realizing his father’s playful tone, Chenchen didn’t argue back. Instead, he ran over to pick up the goose. Just as he reached the vicinity, he saw a venomous snake, about as thick as his arm, slithering toward the goose.

The snake saw him approaching and immediately turned its head to attack.

Chenchen was startled.

Gu Chengrui saw him stop and immediately ran over. He saw the snake launching itself at Chenchen, and his heart lurched. Just as he was about to step forward, Chenchen suddenly swung the crossbow in his hand, smashing it directly onto the snake’s head and sending it flying to the side.

He then quickly took a few steps back.

At the same time, Gu Chengrui ran up and threw the dagger in his hand, hitting the snake’s vital point. The venomous snake was instantly pinned to the ground, writhing and struggling for a while before finally dying.

Gu Chengrui sighed in relief. “Remember, you have to hit a snake at its seven inches; otherwise, it’s very difficult to kill it.”

“Oh,” Chenchen mumbled, a low response.

Gu Chengrui then turned to him and asked, “Scared?”

“No, I’ve just never seen such a big snake before,” Chenchen insisted stubbornly.

However, his still-tense body betrayed his fear.

Gu Chengrui hugged him up and patted his bottom. “Snakes are much easier to deal with than big dogs if you aim for their seven inches.”

Chenchen nodded, but still didn’t dare to look at the snake. Gu Chengrui didn’t force him any further.

He instructed Lin Yifan and the others to pick up the snake and the goose, and the group quickly ran toward Guoguo.
