nDark King felt that something was not right. Lin Qi was cursing up a storm yesterday一why was he so enthusiastic today?

nHowever, Dark King thought about it and realized that maybe Lin Qi was convinced that he was not strong enough to fight it.

nAt that moment, it did not forget to be narcissistic. Dark King was so powerful and charming that Lin Qi could not help but submit to it. He was just one step closer to accepting himself as a pet.

nThe Dark King raised its head and walked in front of the mushroom soup with its head held high. It glanced at Lin Qi disdainfully and finished the soup in no time.

nLin Qi was smiling on the surface, but in his heart, he cursed, ‘Keep pretending. Keep pretending. I’ll make you cry later.’

nAccording to the system’s introduction, the effective time of the ingredients was about 15 minutes.

n..

nLin Qi walked out of the cave. The aftermath of the volcanic eruption had subsided, so he went back to call Dark King and prepared to go out to look for the ingredients.

n“Say, how does it go?

n

n

n“How does that strength-boosting delicacy of yours work?”

n“How about this, I’ll drink it and you can watch what happens.” As he said that, he took out the Marsh Mushroom Soup and drank it in one gulp.

nDark King was stunned, there was more of it?

nThen, it sent Lin Qi flying with a paw.

nAfter the paw slap, Dark King clearly felt that something was different, and its paw felt that Lin Qi was a little heavier.

n“It seems really useful.” Dark King was amazed. “Give me a pot!”

nLin Qi rubbed his butt and stared at the Dark King. “It’s all gone!”

n“This dish needs a very important ingredient, called white jade mushroom. Since you live here, you should know how rare this ingredient is.”

n“And you drank it all yourself!” After saying that, it hit Lin Qi again.

n..

nLin Qi followed behind the Dark King with a bruised nose, staring at it with hatred.

nIn his heart, however, there was some discrepancy. “Why isn’t it working yet, hasn’t it been fifteen minutes?”

n“It’s your good fortune to meet this king.” The Dark King at the front was completely unaware that Lin Qi had tampered with his food. “I happen to know a place that has a lot of white jade mushrooms.”

nIn no time, the Dark King led Lin Qi to a broken cliff and raised his head towards the opposite rock face.

n“There’s a five-star devil beast living in that cave, the rock wolf. It has a keen sense of smell and likes to collect white jade mushrooms.”

nKeen sense of smell? Lin Qi’s heart skipped a beat.

n“That’s right. So, we just need to lure it out with delicious food, and then we can take that opportunity to steal the white jade mushrooms.”

nThe man and the dog sat by the cliff and began to discuss how to steal the rock wolf’s white jade mushrooms.

nLin Qi told him his plan. “How about this? I’ll make the Anti-hunger Fresh Mushroom Soup first. You take the soup and lure the rock wolf away. I’ll take the opportunity to steal the white jade mushrooms from the cave. You take it and run further away. Then, you’ll circle back to pick me up.”

nDark King was unhappy. “Why don’t you it instead?”

n“You run fast! If it were me, it would have caught up with me in just a few steps.”

nDark King was still a little unwilling.

n“What? You’re the Dark King, a super divine beast. Why are you afraid of a mere five-star devil beast?” Lin Qi provoked.

n“What a joke. I’m afraid of it? No chance! It’s settled then!”

nIt did as it was told. In order to ensure the effect, Lin Qi took out all his inventory and made a big pot of Anti-hunger Fresh Mushroom Soup.

nIn order to prevent the fragrance from drawing out the rock wolf in advance, he even walked some distance away.

nAfter the delicacy was made, he fastened the lid of the pot.

nLin Qi handed the mushroom soup to Dark King and reminded it again, “This is all of my stock. If it doesn’t work this time, I’ll have to collect the ingredients again. Don’t waste them.”

nDark King raised its front paw and patted its chest. “Don’t worry! I won’t drink it!”

nSlurp!

nLin Qi looked at it speechlessly. “Why don’t we change the plan? I don’t believe you…”

nSlurp! Slurp!

n“Don’t worry about it…”

nWell, at that point, he could not give up just like that.

n“You must remember to come back and pick me up, Dark King!”

n“Don’t worry!” Slurp! “I’m not an untrustworthy divine beast.”

n‘After this is done, I must think of a way to get some milk and caramel. This d*mn dog is too unreliable.’ Lin Qi made up his mind.

nAfter handing the mushroom soup to Dark King, Lin Qi found a few tough vines from the forest and connected their heads and tails. Then, he tied one end of them to the tree and the other end to himself. When he was ready, he laid on the edge of the cliff.

nThe distance between the two rock walls was not wide. He tied the vines to facilitate evacuation.

nAfter a while, Lin Qi saw the rock wolf walk out of the cave.

nLin Qi thought that since it was called the rock wolf, it might have a hard, rock-like armor on its body.

nIn fact, the rock wolf was named that way because it lived in the cave on the cliff. Its claws were very sharp and could be bent freely. It was especially suitable for rock climbing.

nAt the same time, its sharp claws were its most powerful weapon. Its curved claws could hook its prey tightly.

nThe rock wolf twitched its nose to determine the source of the aroma. After confirming its position, its four claws hooked onto the rock wall and quickly climbed down the mountain.

nLin Qi did not rush over immediately. He waited for a moment until he could not see the rock wolf in his field of vision. Then, he stood up.

nHe retreated to gain momentum, ran up, and jumped in one go.

nHe stood steadily at the entrance of the cave. He untied the vines around his waist and hung them on the protruding part of the rock wall. He lit the torch that he had prepared beforehand and slowly explored the cave.

nThe rock wolf was not big, so the cave was only about seven feet tall. Lin Qi walked all the way to the depths of the cave.

nDeeper in the cave was wider with a large stone platform at the innermost area which appears to be where the rock wolves slept.

nRight next to the platform, there are white jade mushrooms all over the place, and at a glance, there was roughly 20 or 30 of them.

n‘We’re rich! We’re rich!’

nFive white jade mushrooms can make a bowl of Marsh Mushroom Soup. Dark King gets a bowl while Yu Meng and the rest can get one as well.

nLin Qi quickly put all the white jade mushrooms into the system. He then looked around to see if there was anything else he could collect.

nOutside the cave came the anxious cry of the Dark King.

n

n

nLin Qi’s face turned pale, that stupid dog was really unreliable. It had only been a few minutes since he had distracted the wolf.

nHe picked up the torch, rushed to the cave entrance, and saw the Dark King standing on the cliff before.

n“Come quick, the rock wolf’s coming back!”

nLin Qi threw away the torch, wrapped the vines around his waist, and jumped forward with all his might. When he was about to hit the wall, he lifted his feet and stepped onto the cliffside.

nOn the cliff, Dark King bit on the vine and pulled Lin Qi up forcefully.

n“Let’s go, the rock wolf will be back soon!” Dark King signaled for him to ride on it.

nAlthough Lin Qi felt odd, he could only jump on the Dark King’s back when he saw that it was in such a hurry. Then, Dark King ran.

nHe was about to ask Dark King what happened when he heard the rock wolf’s angry roar from behind. It was accompanied by the sound of trees collapsing.

nLin Qi was shocked. “What did you do to the rock wolf?”

nDark King did not want to tell him at first, but seeing that Lin Qi kept asking, it stammered, “I just farted..”

n
