The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 51 Abyssal Wine Cranberries
Jiu Shen glanced at the horned giant through his spiritual power. The savage beast had a strong dog body that was over ten meters tall. His body was not covered by feathers but was instead protected by a black hellfire that completely enveloped his muscular body.
The clump under his feet turned into dust as the huge giant walked towards Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan while growling menacingly.
“Grrr! Grrr!”
Extremely hot beast saliva dripped on the grassy field as it let out an intimidating sound.
Lu Sulan could finally see the figure of the beast that entered after that appearing in front of them.
It had a sword-like horn on its forehead. His teeth were like rows of sharp blades that could even tear through metal. And his powerful black body was enveloped by the dark nightmarish flames.
“It was an adult Horned Hell Dog that was on the verge of breaking through to the 9th rank Saint realm!” Lu Sulan exclaimed in shock after identifying the ferocious beast.
Jiu Shen nodded his head with a rippleless expression. He looked at the ferocious beast indifferently, but if one looked closely, there was a hint of desire in Jiu Shen's silver eyes.
‘Boiled Dog Meat? Roasted Dog Meat? Hmm...’ Jiu Shen was still thinking about what dish he would cook with Horned Hell Dog meat.
The beast sensed Jiu Shen's strange gaze and he felt a kind of ultimate fear rooted in his heart. The Horned Infernal Hound became confused by his own emotions. Since when did he fear humans? Never is…
The Horned Infernal Hound could definitely feel the cultivation of the 8th rank heavenly realm of the white-clothed woman, but could not even sense an ounce of strength from Jiu Shen, either, so it did not put Jiu Shen in his eyes. But strangely, his vile instincts sent out a signal about the danger coming from Jiu Shen.
“Roarrr!” The Horned Infernal Hound chose to ignore his instincts and pounced towards Jiu Shen with its mouth wide open.
Lu Sulan who was standing behind Jiu Shen sensed the terrifying strength of the beast as it leaped towards them.
“This ferocious beast is much stronger than me, but its master is already a 9th rank Saint martial cultivator and soul. This savage beast was like a little puppy in his eyes.” Lu Sulan muttered to himself, but he still felt a bit nervous as he looked at the creature that was much stronger than himself.
Jiu Shen remained unperturbed by the menacing attacks from the Horned Infernal Hound. When the beast was only inches away from tearing its head off, Jiu Shen raised a finger and casually knocked on the beast's head as if he had just pressed the neighboring doorbell.
The Horned Infernal Hound could not even let out a cry of agony before the huge body slumped to the ground, lifeless.
The nightmarish flames that kept burning around his body gradually disappeared. All that remained was a full body.
Lu Sulan gaped at the sight. The beast could not even touch the tip of Jiu Shen's clothes before dying in the blink of an eye!
In fact, he only saw Jiu Shen casually pat the head of the Horned Hell Dog before the huge body of the beast fell on the dead grassy field.
Jiu Shen walked towards the corpse of the Horned Hell Dog and stabbed his body with his finger.
“The flesh should be in perfect state since I only used my spiritual power to attack his brain at close range. This meat is quite hard and bouncy. It would feel much better if this was roasted.” Jiu Shen nodded his head as he pierced the body of the beast from time to time.
Lu Sulan who was standing behind his master almost felt his head dizzy after hearing what Jiu Shen said. ‘So he accidentally killed the Horned Infernal Hound in that way just to keep his meat perfect condition?’
Jiu Shen placed the corpse of the Horned Infernal Hound inside his spatial sword earrings while nodding his head in satisfaction.
He then glanced at Lu Sulan calmly and ignored his ragu look as he said clearly. “Come go. There are still rank 8 spiritual plants waiting to be picked.”
Lu Sulan opened his mouth but then he chose not to speak. He just nodded his head with a helpless breath. “Ya sir.”
Lu Sulan had a lot of questions in his head, but he knew this was not the right time to talk about it.
With a helpless look, he followed behind the figure of his master. But apart from that, he was also curious about the spiritual plant his master spoke of.
‘What is the use of this spiritual plant to attract my master? Maybe it's another ingredient for the wine?’ Lu Sulan thought to himself.
Jiu Shen who was unaware of his disciple's thoughts continued to move towards where he saw the Abyssal Vine Cranberry.
Not long after, the couple saw a bush that was as tall as an adult man. It had several short branches and there were also a number of small white flowers that gathered together. Dozens of small pink fruits are also visible.
The Abyssal Vine Cranberry had an impressive name, but it was actually just a harmless spiritual plant. It was so named because its fruit was the main ingredient of an extremely powerful poison made by an alchemist from the Alchemy Hall.
Despite its reputation being quite frightening, the Abyssal Vine Cranberry was not really poisonous. In fact, it is one of the most valuable and delicious fruits in Nuar.
“Teacher, what is the name of this spiritual plant?” Lu Sulan asked Jiu Shen as he inhaled the fragrant scent of the Abyssal Vine Cranberry.
Jiu Shen touched the small pink fruit and pinched it gently. It feels soft enough to touch signifying that it is still raw. “This spiritual plant is called Abyssal Vine Cranberry.”
