Jiu Shen arrived in a place full of overgrown trees that stood more than thousands of meters in height. Jiu Shen looked like an ant beneath these huge trees.
The occasional cries of savage beasts and the singing of wild birds echoed throughout this lush forest. Jiu Shen looked around him with a calm expression as if he had already expected to see this.
Truth is, he was not surprised to see this forest at all. He had seen a much larger forest in his past life and even the trees in that forest had pierced the clouds with their humongous length. The ones in front of him at this moment paled significantly in comparison…
“It should be here.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he checked the map inside his head. From what he saw, the Merciless Lightning Dao Fruit was located inside this forest. This was an Origin-rank spiritual fruit with an element of lightning. It was capable of enhancing one’s physical body and it can also allow a cultivator to be enlightened with the element of lightning.
Jiu Shen walked calmly within the forest as if it was his own backyard. He did not even bother to conceal himself despite being in a dangerous place.
Countless pairs of red eyes suddenly emerged. However, Jiu Shen merely disregarded them and continued walking on a straight path.
Awooo!
The savage beasts were enraged at Jiu Shen’s lack of reaction. They then slowly revealed themselves while glaring at Jiu Shen with malicious gazes. This human actually dared to ignore them? Truly tired of living!
Dozens of dark-colored wolves growled threateningly at Jiu Shen. These wolves were five times larger than normal wolves and they also had one sharp horn on top of their head. They emitted a thick aura of death just from standing there. From this alone, anyone can already tell that they are dangerous. However, Jiu Shen merely walked past them and treated them as if they were dogs.
Awoo!
“Noisy.” Jiu Shen shot a glance at the leading wolf and flicked his fingers. A small pebble hurtled towards this wolf and it directly penetrated the wolf’s skull which immediately killed it. Seeing the sudden death of their leader, the wolves became horrified. They silently retreated with their tails tucked between their legs. Such a scary human! They don’t want to face him anymore!
After the wolves left, Jiu Shen kept the corpse of the dead wolf leader and continued on his journey. The Merciless Lightning Dao Fruit was just close.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. He could sense the presence of two powerful savage beasts near the Merciless Lightning Dao Tree. From the intensity of their aura, they were at least Origin God Realm savage beasts!
Jiu Shen’s eyes flickered with anticipation after this discovery. He silently hoped that these savage beasts were edible. That way, he could get a fresh ingredient for a delicious meal…
After walking for another two hundred meters, he could finally see the silhouette of a tree with purple leaves. It was about twenty meters tall and it occasionally produced sparks of lightning around its trunk.
Jiu Shen raised his head and saw five mature Merciless Lightning Dao Fruits. Seeing this, Jiu Shen swiftly dashed towards the tree and plucked the mature fruits without hesitation.
However.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The earth suddenly trembled just right after he placed the five Merciless Lightning Dao Fruits inside his space earring. He knew that the two savage beasts were finally here.
Hiss!!
Hiss!!
Two loud hissing sounds echoed inside the forest. At this moment, Jiu Shen saw two gigantic snakes looking at him with fury. Their huge pairs of eyes spurted flames as they stared at Jiu Shen.
“Scarlet Thunder Boa… And there are two of them. Just right on time.” Jiu Shen muttered calmly to himself, but a light of excitement can be seen in his eyes.
The two gigantic snakes were hundreds of meters long and they were fully covered with their armor-like scarlet scales. Anyone else would have wet their pants upon seeing these behemoths, but Jiu Shen merely glanced at them with interest.
These huge creatures might look ugly, but their meat was a delicacy. Their thick scarlet scales can also be made into armors or weapons. In short, the two huge boas in front of Jiu Shen were extremely valuable!
“Human! It is a surprise that an ant-like species like yourself has managed to reach this place, but you will still die for daring to steal our fruit! Return the spiritual fruits and we will swallow you immediately! If not, then we will slowly kill you before eating your mangled corpse!” One of the Scarlet Thunder Boa said in a mocking tone.
Jiu Shen ignored the huge snake. He then gathered his true essence and casually created a huge cage in front of the two gigantic creatures. This scene stunned the two savage beasts, making them speechless for a few seconds.
Jiu Shen’s intricate control of his true essence surprised the two snakes. They could not even achieve that level of control, so how could they not be surprised upon seeing it?
“This…”
The two boas were perplexed to see this. How could a bug have such fine control of true essence? This was inconceivable! They even forgot what they had come here for and they just silently watch as Jiu Shen created a huge cage made of an unknown metal.
After a little more than five minutes, Jiu Shen nodded his head in satisfaction. He then glanced at the two confused boas and said in a calm voice. “Hey, little snakes. Do you see this? This will be your new home.”
At this moment, the two huge creatures snapped out of their daze. They finally realized what Jiu Shen was up to, but it only made them even more surprised. Is this human an idiot or something? Does he actually want to capture them? Is he treating them like normal household pets? Thinking about this, the eyes of the two snakes darkened.
