The so-called secret chamber was actually a cave.
In Zhou You's understanding, a secret chamber involved various mechanisms and was extremely well-hidden. However, the Golden Crown Monkey King's secret chamber was just a pit dug beneath a couch inside a cave.
The secret chamber was not large, about one zhang square.
Zhou You pondered for a moment, "Isn't this just a cellar?"
Dog Fugui was stunned, lowering his head without a word.
It was very spacious here, everything visible at a glance.
However, Zhou You quickly started pondering again.
Was this cellar dug by the Golden Crown Monkey King, or by the Human Race of the past?
This seemed to be a question.
Moreover, this cellar clearly had never accumulated any miscellaneous items and was airtight.
So what was its purpose?
Zhou You began to walk along the walls; after all, the space was limited, and he quickly completed a circuit. Then it was circle after circle, making Dog Fugui so dizzy that he lay motionless on the ground.
Finally, Zhou You stopped, then squatted down.
As Zhou You reached out and lifted his hand, a golden hair appeared in his hand.
Dog Fugui's spirits lifted, "A discovery?"
Zhou You glanced sideways, "Golden snub-nosed monkeys also shed fur?"
Dog Fugui pouted, "What's so new about that?"
Zhou You's eyes showed contemplation, and he finally came to a very reasonable conclusion. "Generally speaking, anything with fur sheds fur, so this hair belongs to the Golden Crown Monkey King."
Dog Fugui lay on the ground, unable to continue the conversation.
Zhou You straightened his body, his Right Hand gripping the hilt of his sword.
Subsequently, stone chips rolled down from around the secret chamber.
Zhou You withdrew his hand, walked to one side, and then kicked it.
The wall shattered in response, revealing a passage behind it.
Dog Fugui immediately got up, quickly went forward, and sniffed, "There's the Golden Crown Monkey King's scent."
Zhou You nodded, "Lead the way."
Dog Fugui leaped directly into it, while Zhou You leisurely followed behind.
The passage was less than a hundred meters long; the man and the dog felt they had entered the belly of Peach Mountain.
Dog Fugui cautiously scanned the dark mountain interior, "Making it so mysterious, could there really be something good?"
In the air, a peculiar smell permeated.
"The smell of alcohol?"
Zhou You frowned slightly.
Dog Fugui looked back and was instantly startled.
He could see in the dark; this was determined by his Bloodline. But as far as his gaze reached, Zhou You's eyes gleamed with a cold light, like the cold glint emanating from a sword blade.
Zhou You stepped down, making a 'plop' sound, and looked down to see a rotten peach.
After walking another dozen meters, a three-meter-square pool was dug into the ground.
The scent permeating the air emanated from it.
Dog Fugui went forward and sniffed, "Canine Emperor, this seems to be brewing wine?"
"Brewing wine?"
Zhou You squatted beside the pool, his expression somewhat displeased.
This wretched monkey, not doing proper business, secretly brewing wine here?
Is he sick?
Dog Fugui was helpless, "It seems we really thought wrong."
Zhou You pondered, "A seventh-grade Yao Beast King, secretly brewing wine like this, doesn't that seem a bit out of character for him? Besides, it's just brewing wine, is he afraid other monkeys will steal a drink?"
Dog Fugui nodded thoughtfully, "Canine Emperor is absolutely right; moreover, as the Golden Crown Monkey King, even if this wine were left outside, no one would dare to steal a drink."
This was the Golden Crown Monkey King's deterrent power!
Aside from the Golden Crown Monkey King, among the monkeys on Peach Mountain, there were only a few fifth-grade Yao Beasts, and the others were relatively weak in strength.
One might ask, where would they get such courage?
After observing for a while, Zhou You said, "You go down and take a look."
"Ah?"
Dog Fugui hesitated, "Although I know this is wine, it still looks a bit disgusting."
Zhou You said sternly, "You can eat, drink, and relieve yourself in your own dog hole; what's this?"
Dog Fugui felt that this made a lot of sense and immediately jumped in.
Zhou You was quick to dodge, avoiding being splattered.
"It's too thick, and the smell is too pungent."
Dog Fugui wailed, then his body completely sank in.
After a while, Dog Fugui suddenly jumped out, spitting out an object, "Canine Emperor, there really is something at the bottom of the pool."
"Is this a stone?"
Zhou You's gaze fell on it; it was a stone shaped like a goose egg.
Dog Fugui quickly said, "When I touched it, it felt a bit strange."
Zhou You reached out but chose to withdraw his hand. "You take this thing out first and find a place to wash it."
Immediately, Dog Fugui held the 'stone' in his mouth, and both appeared outside.
Outside, the work was still busy. Dog Fugui took a bath in the mountain stream below Peach Mountain, thoroughly washed the item he had found, and then brought it to Zhou You.
Zhou You sat on a large stone by the stream, holding the 'stone' in his hand.
Under the moonlight.
This stone, almost the size of a goose egg, was like white jade, with crisscrossing blood-colored patterns on it.
Zhou You held the stone up to the moon, faintly discerning a black-red speck within, about the size of a thumbnail.
"I can't see anything special about it."
Zhou You frowned, "What on earth does this Golden Crown Monkey King want to do?"
This made no sense at all!
Dog Fugui lay beside him, looking up and observing carefully. "Canine Emperor, why do I feel like this is an egg?"
"An egg?"
Zhou You laughed, picked up the stone, and knocked it against another stone nearby several times, "Are the eggs you lay this hard?"
Looking at the stone again, it was completely undamaged.
Dog Fugui hesitated, "Legend has it that Dragon eggs are this hard."
Zhou You burst out laughing, "Don't Dragons give live birth?"
"Live birth is for mammals."
Dog Fugui said earnestly, "If you don't mind, I'll explain what a mammal is. For example, they need to have this thing..."
After listening to Dog Fugui's explanation, Zhou You suddenly felt the stone in his hand was a bit hot.
Dog Fugui continued, "Look at snakes; they lay snake eggs. Flood Dragons also lay eggs, and turtles also lay eggs. Why? Of course, because they don't have breasts."
Zhou You swallowed, "Are you serious?"
Dog Fugui was puzzled, "Am I not serious enough?"
Zhou You's hand trembled. Could it be that the Golden Crown Monkey King ran to the Dragon Clan to steal an egg, then hid it by brewing wine? "So, this must be a Dragon egg?"
"Yes and no."
Dog Fugui replied.
Zhou You's gaze towards Dog Fugui was somewhat unkind.
Dog Fugui quickly explained, "This looks like a Dragon egg that was accidentally sealed. After the passage of time, it has long lost its vitality, and its exterior has completely petrified. That black-red mark at the very center should be a drop of true Dragon Clan Bloodline."
Dragon Clan Bloodline!
Zhou You's eyes narrowed slightly; this was no ordinary matter.
In fact, it was very serious.
