"What's the matter?" Zhou Huaijin asked anxiously, concerned that something unexpected had occurred. He quickly moved closer, positioning himself as a shield to protect Gu Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan gently shook her head and pointed to a corner of the cave. Her voice carried a tone of surprise. "Look."
Zhou Huaijin followed her gaze, trying to comprehend the cause of her astonishment.
However, he couldn't grasp why she was exclaiming or why there was a sense of surprise in the air.
He felt slightly perplexed.
Within the cave, only the lifeless bodies of the white monkeys were strewn about. There were only a few jars haphazardly placed in the corner. Those jars might have been looted from individuals the monkeys had attacked and then stored here.
Observing his confusion, Gu Chaoyan took his hand and led him towards the corner.
She spoke patiently, "Can you smell it?"
"…."
"The scent of wine."
"…."
