Magic Land: I Make It Big as a Gourmet Food Supplier! - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Everyone’s Pursuit

In Lin Qi’s understanding, demonic beasts that could spit fire were generally above the seven-star grade. Demonic beasts that could reach that level had their intelligence unlocked. They were no less intelligent than humans. On the contrary, some of them had lived for a long time so they grew smarter than humans.

The participant with the longsword seemed very excited. It seemed that the black dog had brought him a great surprise. He stood on a rock and cleared his throat.

“Explain it quickly.”

“Yes, explain it quickly.”

The others could not wait any longer. They were all interested in getting rich.

The person did not hesitate and immediately said, “Have you heard of Clean Slate demonic beast?”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd. The others shook their heads to indicate that they had not heard of it. Lin Qi was the same as them.

He had not even properly understood that world when he came to the Black Wind Castle’s trial. He knew less than those people.

‘If I have the chance to understand more information about demonic beasts, I will take it since I might have to deal with them in the future,’ Lin Qi thought to himself.

Seeing that the others did not know, that person immediately became proud, but he still continued. “Clean Slate demonic beasts refer to those demonic beasts that have no power but only a realm. Some of them are born that wat, such as the holy light fish, and some of them lost their power for various reasons.”

The others looked at each other. That was the first time they had heard such a rumor. However, judging from the tone and manner of that person, what he said was not false.

Actually, it was also true after thinking about it. If it really was a genuine seven-star demonic beast, then they would have died long ago.

“There’s such a thing? Then wouldn’t it be equivalent to us killing a seven-star demonic beast if we killed that black dog?” Someone added. In the end, even he did not believe that.

Hiss!

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, and then their breathing became rapid. Their eyes were slightly red. They all thought of the trial mission.

Even the lowest seven-star demonic beast was an existence that even high-level mages were unwilling to face. If they killed the black dog, not only would they be able to complete the trial, but they would also be able to make a name for themselves in the various cities.

That was something that many people could not achieve in their lifetime. However, such an opportunity had fallen into their hands. If they did not seize that opportunity, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

“What are we waiting for? The rain has stopped. Let’s go kill that black dog!”

“I see it. He’s still in the forest ahead!”

..

They could not wait any longer. The faster they caught the black dog, the faster they could complete the mission. Their chance had come.

A group of people ran out of the cave while shouting. Lin Qi shouted a few words behind them, but no one listened to him. He felt that the black dog was very strange, and he wanted to follow it to understand the situation.

However, he still had to deliver food to the Bru tribe, which made him feel conflicted. Nevertheless, he still thought of a way. He had an agreement with the Holy Maiden that if Lin Qi didn’t return in three days, they would send people to find him.

Now that the acid rain had stopped, it was more convenient for the people in the tribe to come out. He could put the food in that cave and let the people of the tribe collect it.

He quickly made the stone cakes and put them on a slab. Then, Lin Qi wrote down the method to eat them and left a mark. When the orcs came to find him, they would find the things here. He also briefly told them where he was going.

He was not worried that the stone cakes would be eaten by other people or demonic beasts because they could not find the correct way to consume them. It was really like eating a rock. He had never seen any demonic beast nearby eat a rock before, so it was very safe here.

After making the stone cakes, Lin Qi quickly ran out. He was afraid that if he could not find the black dog, someone would be in trouble.

“Wait for me!” Lin Qi could only see the figure of the last person after he left the cave. They all went deeper into the forest.

Lin Qi also increased his speed and chased after them. He thought that it would take a long time to catch up with the people in front of him. He did not expect that he would run into a group of people who were shouting.

It was as if they were trying to catch chickens. A group of them was chasing after the black dog helter-skelter. They were very busy.

The black dog moved deftly一dodging back and forth between the trees. That caused others to struggle keeping their eyes on it let alone capturing it.

As mentioned earlier, the black dog seemed to not have any strength. Otherwise, it would not have to use the trees to circle around with the rest of them in order to defend itself.

However, the group was wandering deeper and deeper into the forest. Now that the acid rain had stopped, it was very likely that demonic beasts would appear. However, the benefits that they were about to obtain made everyone unwilling to give up.

On the other hand, Lin Qi felt that the black dog was toying with them. Every time they nearly caught it, it was just a little bit away. That made everyone even more excited. It was as if they had lost their rationality.

Lin Qi thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. He was born in the Lin family. He did not need to pursue anything. When the time came, someone would arrange everything for him. The demonic beast in front of those people was almost their only chance to make a profit, it was impossible for them to give up now.

However, after chasing for some distance, the forest was dense with trees, and the light was getting dimmer and dimmer. The black dog used its black coat as camouflage and escaped from the pursuit of the group.

The group could not find any traces of the black dog, so they gradually gathered together.

“Such a big black dog but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared. It’s really strange.”

“Have you seen it?”

Those people asked, trying to get an answer from each other. However, the disappearance of the black dog was too strange. Even Lin Qi, who was standing at the side, did not see where it went.

“Why don’t we go back? If the acid rain stops, the other demonic beasts might come out. When that happens, this forest will be very dangerous,” Lin Qi advised the others.

He did not want to go forward, but he had forgotten the way back. He did not have the strength, so it would be more dangerous if he went back alone. The safety of a group of people would be guaranteed if they went back at the same time.

However, the others had not agreed with Lin Qi’s suggestion. That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they got the demonic beast, even if they split it equally, it would allow them to swim in riches.

“But what Lin Qi said does make sense. We have to plan carefully and try to avoid encountering other demonic beasts.”

That suggestion was approved by everyone. They still had to go after the demonic beast, but they also had to consider their own safety.

They found an empty space and began to discuss a plan. Lin Qi was listening by the side. He did not think that those people could capture the black dog alone, because the combined IQ of that group of people was not as high as that black dog.

Of course, Lin Qi would not say those words that would offend others. Even if he could not find his way back, he would not chase after the black dog with them.
