Chapter 8: The Fearless Old Sha! Consuming the Mana Potion!
Chapter 8: The Fearless Old Sha! Consuming the Mana Potion!
As the sun rose in the east, the already warm temperature rose even further, adding a scorching heat to the air.
A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, bringing a rare coolness to the summer morning.
Sitting on the rattan rocking chair where Su An Yong often laid, Xiao Qing, now a little bigger, remained in Su Ping's embrace, excitedly watching everything before her.
In front of Su Ping was a spectacular sight.
Beyond the trees, in the shadows cast by the canopy, a group of Lin wolves, both big and small, appeared on the estate's path.
They sat obediently like well-behaved house dogs, their emerald eyes fixed on Su Ping.
At first glance, there were about twenty of them.
Among them, seven were adult Lin wolves that had reached the Elite rank or higher.
One of them had reached the ninth Elite rank, making it the highest-ranked wolf in the base, aside from Old Sha.
There were also less than twenty more, all of which were of the Common rank.
Most of them were still young cubs in their growing stages.
However, in the Wood Core Companion Beast Breeding Base, the most valuable ones were these young cubs.
Because, typically, those who come to purchase companion beasts would choose a young one as their first pet to nurture.
Elite-ranked Lin wolves were beyond the reach of newly awakened ordinary Beastmasters, and experienced Beastmasters would rarely purchase adult wolves without potential at first sight.
So, these seven Elite-ranked wolves were mostly used as breeding wolves.
In front of this wolf pack, Old Sha stood cautiously, his eyes fixed on Su Ping.
It was clear from his apprehensive gaze that he was still thinking about Su Ping's plan to poison and feed him excrement the day before.
So, Su Ping took out the bottle of dark green liquid.
Su Ping slowly turned and looked at Old Sha.
"Old Sha!"
Old Sha shuddered, then looked at Su Ping with a deeply resentful gaze.
But in the end, Old Sha didn't turn and run like he did yesterday.
Wolves have their own rules.
When Su An Yong handed over the Wood Core base to Su Ping, Old Sha had to take the lead and make Su Ping the 'King' that these young wolves would follow and obey.
So, even if his young master was going to harm him, Old Sha wouldn't back down.
However, when Su Ping took out the container filled with dark green liquid from his embrace, Old Sha's body trembled slightly.
Then, amidst the curious gazes of all the wolves, he walked forward with his limbs shaking.
Seeing Old Sha's pleading eyes, Su Ping felt speechless. Was it necessary? If it weren't for Xiao Qing's young age, he could have tested the potion's effects on the other wolves first, and it wouldn't have been so troublesome.
Su Ping patted Old Sha's head, stroking the stiff fur on his lowered head. "Old Sha, you have to trust me! I'm doing this for your own good."
Old Sha glanced at Su Ping, then at the dark green liquid. Although it had cooled down, the bottle was still open, and the scent from yesterday lingered. Old Sha looked back at Su Ping.
His emerald eyes seemed to say, "I trust you, my ass!" But in the end, he nodded.
Old Sha was nearly two cycles older than this young master and possessed intelligence comparable to humans. He naturally understood that his young master was making a mana potion.
When Su An Yong was younger, he had tried it several times and even consumed it, but the final outcome was...
And now, the young master, who had just graduated, suddenly took over the Heart of Wood, naturally harboring the ambition to test his ideas.
After a night of deep contemplation, Old Sha knew that even if he were to be poisoned to death, he must protect the young master's pride and not let him be like the unreliable Su An Yong, directly setting up shop and completely wasting the old master's efforts!
"Hooowl..."
Old Sha closed his eyes and let out a mournful howl.
Tears were about to well up in the corners of his eyes.
With a solemn and determined look, as if ready to die for the young master, Su Ping couldn't help but see black lines forming on his forehead.
Without saying a word, he glanced at Old Sha, who was waiting with his eyes closed and mouth wide open, ready to be fed by the young master.
Su Ping directly poured the dark green, gel-like Heart of Wood potion into Old Sha's lack of effort, on the contrary, my desire for her has only grown stronger.
Old Sha opened his eyes and looked at the empty potion bottle, then glanced at the young master who was staring at him expectantly.
His eyes dimmed, as if the world had suddenly turned gray.
He then came to Su Ping's side and whimpered softly.
Although it was in wolf language, Su Ping could roughly understand its meaning:
"Take good care of the Heart of Wood Companion Beast Breeding Base.
Make the Wolf breeding program bigger and stronger!
Don't let down the old master's efforts and trust.
Develop an even more powerful evolution path for the Wolves!
And,
Strive to become an even more remarkable Beastmaster, you little rascal!!!"
And so on, as if he were entrusting his last words.
It was like an elderly relative on their deathbed, imparting their final words of wisdom to the younger generation.
For a moment, the atmosphere outside the sun-bathed forest became incredibly solemn.
Even the wolf pack nearby, who were watching this scene in confusion, seemed to be bidding farewell to their elder.
If it weren't for Su Ping knowing the truth, he might have easily been swayed by this atmosphere.
But, what the hell is going on here?
Thankfully, they didn't have to wait long. Suddenly, Old Sha's calm and serene demeanor, as if ready to embrace death, changed abruptly.
The initially low howl transformed, and in that instant, the originally bluish-green fur was covered in streaks of emerald green light, as if enveloped by a faint emerald glow.
The entire forest seemed to become exceptionally clear, and beneath Old Sha's feet, vines broke through the soil and grew at a visible rate.
Simultaneously, a faint aura rippled outward.
Su Ping's eyes widened in surprise.
The wolf pack behind him reacted even more intensely, trembling and crawling onto the ground, unable to bear the aura of their wolf king.
This process lasted only a minute.
The next moment, all the anomalies vanished, replaced by a crisp and high-pitched wolf howl filled with indescribable joy!
