Chapter 178: Dark Hellhound Nima, Leader of the Shepherd Dog Clan, Nixue

"Could it be that the future Satyrian and Shepherd Dog races are actually the sheep and shepherd dogs of the Trant family's pasture?" Zeng Shen speculated as he positioned Asha's hands on the car window to form a stable, triangular framework, aiming for an exceptional experience in survival against the odds.

Once the No. 1 Divine Energy Chariot parked near a grove by the pasture, Zeng Shen and Asha reached the pinnacle of ecstasy, concluding their night's battle.

"Darling, it's 5 a.m. now. Get some sleep in the car while I go for a walk," Zeng Shen whispered to Asha, gently placing the exhausted, beautifully flushed woman on the couch in the resting area.

He dressed, exited the vehicle, and entered stealth mode, heading towards the pasture's gate 200 meters away.

[Danger! The host is about to enter Trant Pasture Zone 6, inhabited by terrifying exotic beasts, intelligent species, and multiple deities with their followers. With the host's current strength, discovery will be fatal. Please evacuate immediately.]

"With all these warnings, I thought this place would turn into a secret realm," Zeng Shen muttered beside the security booth at the pasture's gate, before continuing invisibly into Trant Pasture Zone 6.

Though not as vast as the Great Pasture outside Trant City, Zone 6 featured a living area, grazing area, and industrial area, minus a dedicated enclosure zone.

Since this wasn't a secret realm, Zeng Shen bypassed the living area, flying straight down the paved path towards the grazing area several hundred meters away.

Soon, he landed atop a sheep pen in the grazing area, noting its emptiness before flying towards the sheep flock a kilometer away.

His eyes scanned the expansive pasture, encircled by large, white-painted wooden fence walls, with flocks of unknown sheep breeds spaced every kilometer, each managed by two shepherds on horseback with seven or eight shepherd dogs.

Approaching the first flock, a vivid red-purple pop-up window and urgent alert sounded in his ears.

[Danger! Approaching a Tier 3 dark deity with its followers, and terrifying exotic beasts and intelligent species. Capture will result in death and energy drain. Evacuate immediately.]

"Uh," Zeng Shen muttered, landing behind the two shepherds, preparing to cast a Peering Eye.

But barking erupted from the shepherd dogs within the flock.

Zeng Shen looked up, spotting the dogs, commanded by the shepherds to drive the flock elsewhere, now sensing something amiss and barking in his direction.

The closest two barked directly at him.

The shepherds, one a middle-aged man named Lar Men managing the area, and the other a young girl with a Lolita charm, his 18-year-old dropout niece Lar Di, turned towards the barking.

They saw nothing but sky, clouds, and the distant sheep pen.

Puzzled, Lar Di asked Lar Men, "Uncle Lar Men, why are the dogs barking that way? Is there a wild animal nearby?"

"I'll check it out. You drive the sheep over there to graze," Lar Men instructed, grabbing his rifle and turning his horse towards the sheep pen.

[Host successfully distracted Tier 3 dark deity's followers. Survival Points +1000.]

"So the riding maiden Lar Di is the dark deity surviving three years later."

"Wait, I didn't do anything, and the system awarded me points for distraction?" Zeng Shen mused, surprised but pleased, casting a Peering Eye at the slender, fair-skinned girl.

[True Name: Lar Di]

[Divine Name: Not Named]

[Divine Tier: Tier 3 (0/13000)]

[Divine System: Dark] [Divine Core: Not Formed]

[Divine Domain: Not Activated]

[Divine Skills: None]

[Divine Gift: Not Awakened]

[Analysis: Lar Di, awakening a rare dark divine system, is a core member of the Trant family.]

"She's still working for the Trant family three years after the calamity," Zeng Shen remarked, casting a Peering Eye at the barking shepherd dogs.

Instantly, panels appeared above the dogs.

[Dark Creature: Dark Hellhound]

[Quality: Lord]

[Tier 3: 0/14000]

[Name: Nima]

[Skills: Not Activated.]

[Belief: Lar Di, Tier 3 Dark Deity]

[Mood: Curious, Alert.]

[Analysis: Nima, a shepherd dog transformed into a terrifying exotic beast, is Lar Di's exclusive mount, and surpasses typical dark hellhounds under her divine care.]

[Intelligent Race: Shepherd Dog Clan]

[Quality: Lord]

[Tier 4: 0/50000]

[Name: Nixue.]

[Skills: Not Activated.]

[Belief: Lar Di, Tier 3 Dark Deity]

[Mood: Guarded, Confused]

[Analysis: Nixue, leader of the Shepherd Dog Clan, prefers wearing cute pink outfits and serves as a close home companion when not managing her tribe. The Shepherd Dog Clan features adorable beast ears and short tails. If you are their god, a gentle ear pinch will leave them docile.]

Zeng Shen quickly reviewed the panels of the shepherd dogs that would become exotic beasts, then lingered on Nixue's Shepherd Dog Clan panel.

The detailed description made up his mind.

He had to recruit all the shepherd dogs from this pasture.

This decision wasn't due to the panel's detailed promise of cute beast girls but was a strategic move to weaken the Trant family in the future.

Excited, Zeng Shen cast a taming spell at the barking shepherd dog, Nima.

A notification promptly sounded.

[Taming Failed.]
