Ryu and the girls followed the purple spring monkeys to a valley deep within the forest. When they first broke through the tree line, Ryu had to block his eyes from the cascading light that shined down. The trees' leaves gently swayed in the wind, and the cool spray of water could be felt in the air. There was a tall rocky cliff in front of them, with a waterfall raining down over its edges. A large blue pond that had glowing orbs of light rising off its surface caught the water falling down over the cliff's edge. The pond's water was so clear you can easily see all the way to the bottom. With all the different color flowers sprouting up here and there and the lush green grass surrounding the pond, the place looked very beautiful. What made this place even more grand was that it was filled with dense soul qi.
"This place is amazing!" Chi cried out in surprise. Rose, WhiteLotus, and Violet also nodded their heads at this.
"Yes, this place is truly amazing." Ryu also agreed.
"Hmmm? Humans?" An archaic voice filled the air. But no matter which way Ryu and the girls looked, they couldn't see who had just spoken. "Don't waste your time. I am in a place you can't see. From what my kin has told me, you vanquished the spiders that have been plaguing the forest."
"If you are talking about the white spotted spider, then yes, we just killed it. May I know who is speaking?" Ryu asked. He wondered if this might be a quest of some kind.
"I have no name. Me and my kin have no need for such things. Follow the little one in front of you, and they will bring you to me." The archaic voice drifted off as it finished speaking.
Ryu looked down at the little monkey that was waving at him and smiled. "We will follow."
"Ooo!" The monkey let out a happy cry and started running towards the waterfall.
Ryu and the girls follow the little monkey. There seemed to be a path leading to the side of the waterfall. It was not until they got to the side of the cliff face that they noticed that there was a cave entrance hidden behind it.
Following the monkey inside, Ryu and the girls were met with a warm, dry cave that should have been damp due to the waterfall. But no moss or water could be found anywhere inside. The little monkey brought Ryu and the girls to the very back of the cave that opened up into a large lit cavern. But once they entered, they stopped short as they looked up at the massive purple spring monkey. It was at least ten meters tall sitting down. Ryu could only estimate that when standing, it must tower high above the treetops. But this purple spring monkey seemed to be very old. "You have come." The old monkey looked down at Ryu and the girls and smiled.
"You have my utmost gratitude. As you can see, I am a bit too old to be moving around. Now I only serve to watch over my clan and use my aura to keep the other beasts out. I asked my kin to bring you here since you were able to dispatch the spiders that had nested in our hunting grounds. I have a favor to ask, and I hope you would be willing to accept it."
*Ding!*
[Unique Epic Group Quest: The Root Of Life]
[The Divine Purple Spring Monkey wants you to retrieve the Root Of Life from the Silver Springs.]
[Quest Completion: find and retrieve the Root Of Life.]
[Reward: A heavenly cultivation method: Heavenly Transcendence, 100 LQ Soul Stones]
"I request that you bring back the Root Of Life. It will allow me to regain some of my youth and extend my life a few more thousand years. Only with it can I continue to keep my kin protected. At least until one of them becomes strong enough to take my place." The old monkey explained.
"You can count on us. We were actually headed there in the first place. We will be sure to bring back the Root Of Life for you." Ryu did not hesitate at all. He quickly hit the yes button. The girls were right behind them. The reward this time was not simple. It actually has a cultivation method that WhiteLotus, Violet, and Rose needed. Not to mention the soul stones as well. They had really hit the jackpot stumbling upon this quest.
"Then I thank you all. Please go to the room on my right, it has a hot spring. It will allow you to clean the blood off your bodies and relax your muscles. My kin will wash your clothes and armor for you. Just leave them with this little one here." The old monkey said with a smile.
"Thank you. We will take you up on the offer." Ryu bowed his head and turned towards the girls. "Let's go wash up."
"Yes! We can finally get clean!" Rose was the happiest out of everyone since she was the one who was soaked head to toe in green blood.
Ryu and the girls walked into the side room where a small cave pond with blue crystal clear water that had steam rising off its surface could be found. Ryu did not think much of anything as he stripped down to nothing and handed his clothes to the monkey. That was until Rose let out a small gasp as she stared at a certain swaying mushroom. "What how!?"
"Hmm?" Ryu looked down at his dick and then at the three girls who looked like barbie dolls in the crotch area and blushed slightly. "It's not just me, but Chi has hers too."
"What?" Chi turned around, looking confused, and only then realized what Ryu was talking about. "Ah right!"
"Wait! Wait! Does this mean you can have sex in game!?" WhiteLotus asked. But it seemed she was not talking to anyone but Ryu's mushroom since her eyes were locked right on to it.
"Ummm..." Ryu blushed and nodded his head.
"That means… In game you can experience what it is like to be a man, and Chi gets to… That's nuts! No fair! I want to have sex in game as well! Huh? Wait, a message popped up! Wtf!?" WhiteLotus's crotch and chest suddenly glowed and was no longer a barbie doll crotch or nippleless boobs "Hot damn!" Seconds later the other two girls also had glowing crotches as well. Ryu could only shake his head and wonder just how horny were these girls.
