133: Chapter 133 The cumin-roasted meat smells so good! It made the neighbor's kid cry with envy!

The mercedes-benz g-class bumped along the rugged riverbed, driving deep into the hinterlands of the Nalinggele Canyon.

It was truly worthy of being called the forbidden zone known as the "Gate of Hell".

The further they went inside, the more bizarre and surreal the surrounding scenery became.

Dark red rocks looked like coagulated blood, and the twisted, withered Populus euphratica forest emitted howling sounds like ghosts and wolves in the wind.

In the sky, thick, heavy dark clouds hung extremely low.

Purple lightning snakes darted frantically through the clouds, as if ready to strike and devour anyone at any moment.

"Gurgle..."

An untimely stomach growl suddenly rang out in the car.

Reba clutched her stomach, her face instantly turning red to the tips of her ears.

"Um... Boss, I'm hungry..."

Ever since they entered the mountains, that invisible sense of oppression had exhausted her, and coupled with the fright she just had, she was now starving.

"Perfect, I'm hungry too."

Su Yang checked the time and then looked at the huge sheltered rock outside.

"Stop the car, let's set up camp and cook."

"Let's taste what this lizard meat, specially supplied by the heavenly thunder, actually tastes like."

Ten minutes later.

A huge, cleaned bluestone slab was set up, and smokeless charcoal was lit underneath.

Su Yang held that crystal-clear lizard tenderloin, which emitted a faint purple light, while the butchering knife in his hand flew up and down.

Swish, swish, swish!

The meat slices were as thin as cicada wings and were spread evenly on the scorching stone slab.

Sizzle—!

Accompanied by the pleasant sound of crackling fat, a strange, meaty fragrance instantly permeated the air.

This fragrance was different from ordinary roasted meat; it carried a crisp, herbal aroma and a sensation of electric current that made one feel numb all over just by smelling it.

"Sprinkle on some Tianshan snow lotus powder, and add some secret cumin and ghost pepper powder..."

Su Yang elegantly sprinkled the seasonings like a Michelin chef.

"Done, let's eat."

Marie and Chu Ling, who had been waiting on the side, didn't say a word and immediately picked up their chopsticks to grab some.

"Ooh! So hot! So fragrant!"

Marie was blowing air because it was hot, but she couldn't bear to spit it out.

"This meat... it can actually dance in my mouth! That tingling feeling is like a spa for the tongue!"

Although Chu Ling ate elegantly, her speed with the chopsticks was not slow at all.

"The meat is firm and rich in Spiritual Qi, which is of great benefit to my corpse body."

Watching the two of them eat so happily, Reba, who originally had psychological shadows, couldn't resist.

She carefully picked up a piece, closed her eyes, and stuffed it into her mouth.

The next second.

Her eyes widened suddenly, as if she had opened the door to a new world.

"Mmm!!!"

That tender and juicy texture, combined with the charred aroma of cumin and the stimulation of chili, instantly conquered her taste buds.

Even more magically, once the meat went down, a warm current instantly surged through her entire body.

Her hands and feet, which had been somewhat stiff from the cold, were now warm.

"Ding! Detected that the host has consumed [Thunder Fire Demon Lizard Meat], Physique + 10, obtained temporary BUFF [Elementary Lightning Resistance] (lasts for 24 hours)."

Su Yang listened to the notification sound in his mind and contentedly poured himself a glass of 82 Lafite.

"Come on, cheers."

"To this damn apocalypse... oh wait, to this damn delicious food."

Just as the four of them were eating enthusiastically, treating this terrifying Death Valley as a picnic campsite.

Whoosh—!

A gust of Yin Qi wind suddenly blew past.

The already dim surroundings suddenly lit up with pairs of eerie green eyes.

Dense and numerous, there were at least a hundred pairs!

They were hiding behind the thick fog and rocks, staring intently at the roasted meat on the stone slab, emitting greedy low growls.

"It seems our midnight snack is too fragrant."

Su Yang put down his wine glass, not only not panicking but instead slowly picking up a piece of meat and putting it into his mouth.

"Even the kids next door have been teased to tears by the craving."

"Boss, are those... wolves?"

Reba trembled as she put down her chopsticks and hid behind Su Yang.

By the light of the fire, she saw the true face of those things.

They were a group of monsters that looked like wolves, but their bodies were rotten, exposing ghastly white bones, and strange electric arcs were coiled around their bones!

"Not wolves."

Su Yang said calmly.

"They are Thunder Corpse Hounds."

"Wild wolves or stray dogs that accidentally entered here in the past, after being struck to death by lightning, their bodies did not decay, and nourished by Yin Qi, they turned into these half-corpse, half-demon monsters."

"What they like most... is the taste of flesh and blood full of Spiritual Qi."

"Roar—!!"

With a shrill wolf howl.

The group of Thunder Corpse Hounds seemed to finally be unable to withstand the temptation of the delicious food and pounced from all directions!

Their speed was extremely fast, carrying a fishy wind and lightning, and they reached them in an instant.

"Ah!" Reba screamed.

"So noisy."

Su Yang frowned, and the chopsticks in his hand suddenly flew out.

Swish!

That ordinary bamboo chopstick, infused with Su Yang's spiritual power, instantly turned into a streak of golden light.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The heads of the three Thunder Corpse Hounds rushing at the front instantly exploded like watermelons.

"Marie, Chu Ling."

Su Yang picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth.

"Time for some after-dinner exercise."

"Don't let these dirty things dirty my roasted meat."

"As you wish, my Master~"

Marie stood up elegantly, licked the sauce from the corner of her mouth, and a flash of bloodthirsty red light flickered in her eyes.

"Just as well, I haven't eaten my fill yet."

"Although the meat of these dog things is smelly, the beast souls inside... are a great supplement."

Boom!

The blood wings behind Marie suddenly spread out, and she turned into a blood-colored whirlwind, rushing into the pack of wolves.

At the same time, Chu Ling also moved.

She didn't have any fancy moves, she just stretched out her pale hands and grabbed through the air.

Crack!

A few Thunder Corpse Hounds that were about to pounce had their bodies instantly twisted into twists, and the bones inside them snapped inch by inch.

This was a massacre.

A one-sided massacre.

Su Yang sat by the campfire, feeding Reba meat while watching this "performance" full of violent aesthetics.

"Don't be afraid, eat the meat."

"Look, the way that dog jumped, doesn't it look quite like your Husky at home?"

Reba looked at the terrifying monster that was kicked away by Marie and disintegrated in mid-air, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

How the Hell is that like a Husky!

The Boss's heart is too big!

Just then.

"Hmm?"

Su Yang suddenly stopped his chopsticks, his gaze passing through the chaotic battlefield, looking into the darkness deep in the canyon.

There, a figure was standing quietly on a towering rock, coldly watching all this.

The person was wearing a black cloak and a mask with weird thunder patterns painted on it.

"Finally willing to show your face?"

Su Yang hooked the corner of his mouth into a cold smile.

"Driving the Thunder Corpse Hounds to test me?"

"Since you're here, don't leave."

Su Yang casually grabbed a handful of cumin powder from the table and threw it fiercely into the air.

"Wind, rise!"

Whoosh—!

That handful of cumin powder, wrapped in spiritual power, instantly turned into countless tiny hidden weapons, passing through layers of fog, heading straight for that Black-Robed Person!

"Turning seasoning into soldiers?!"

The Black-Robed Person in the distance obviously didn't expect the other party to be able to launch an attack with a handful of seasoning, exclaimed, and retreated rapidly.

But it was a step too late.

Pfft!

A few cumin grains with fire poison flew past his mask, leaving a charred bloodstain on his face.

"Damn it!"

The Black-Robed Person covered his face, looked at Su Yang's direction with resentful eyes, and then flashed his figure, disappearing into the darkness.

"Ran away quite fast."

Su Yang patted the residue off his hands.

"However, after being stained with my special cumin, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I can still find you by the scent."

"Boss, who was that?"

Marie finished off the last Thunder Corpse Hound and flew back to Su Yang's side.

"A guide."

Su Yang pointed in the direction where the Black-Robed Person disappeared.

"A free guide to take us to the real Thunder Pool."

"Are you full?"

"If you're full, get in the car."

"Tonight, we are going to raid their nest."
