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

Chapter 62: Stone Rain

They were all discussing it seriously.

“As long as we can catch it, not only can we complete the trial, we can also be rewarded when we go back.”

“Haha, of course. This is a Clean Slate demonic beast, a rare sight that is found once in a hundred years.”

“Right, we should catch it alive. Let’s see if those gossipy women still dare to call me a good-for-nothing then.”

..

Lin Qi did not think much of it. Even if that black dog was really just a Clean Slate demonic beast, it was still an existence that could spit fire.

Moreover, they could not find that black dog at all. He really did not know where they got their confidence from.

Lin Qi secretly rolled his eyes at the side. If it were not for the fact that his physical strength was subpar and he did not know the way, he would have gone back long ago.

Now, he could only grumble to himself.

He did not expect that those people would involve Lin Qi as they talked.

“But, we have already lost him. How are we going to catch him now?”

“Let’s use the same method as before. Lure it with food, wait for it to fall into the net and capture it.”

“But… He can spit fire! The net just now burned in an instant.”

“It doesn’t matter. It pretended to be dead before spitting fire. What does that mean? It means it can’t spit fire indefinitely.”

“That’s right. So this time we won’t give it a chance to spit fire. We’ll wait for it to fall into the net and attack it instantly before it can’t spit fire!”

After saying that, one of them looked at Lin Qi.

“Lin Qi, please make another pot of mushroom soup!”

Lin Qi had no choice but to agree. However, he had just used up all the raw materials for the Anti-hunger Fresh Mushroom Soup.

There was still a lot of water. Rose salt could be exchanged directly with the system, but mixed mushrooms, eucalyptus leaves, and fungus still needed to be collected.

Lin Qi handed the task of picking the ingredients over to them. After a while, the group of people returned to the empty space with a full load of ingredients.

Lin Qi could not help but sigh. After all, more people meant more power! Otherwise, he would not have been able to find such ingredients in such a short time.

He took the ingredients and went to the pre-arranged trap location. He set up the pot and soon, a pot of fragrant Anti-hunger Fresh Mushroom Soup was ready. The fragrance assailed his nostrils.

The participants looked at the delicious food in front of them and could not help but swallow their saliva.

Some of them even muttered, “Do we really need to use it as bait? It’s such a waste! Why not let me eat it? It can still be used after we have a taste.”

“Calm down! Even if the soup is gone, Lin Qi can still make more. A Clean Slate demonic beast that is comparable to a seven-star demonic beast is not something that can be seen anytime and anywhere!”

Lin Qi rolled his eyes when he heard that. That group of people still clung onto him. If it was not for the fact that he did not know the way, he would not have helped them.

It took them a lot of effort to suppress the hunger in their hearts, and they planned to set up a trap around them according to the plan.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed over. It was the black dog.

It rushed to the front of the mushroom soup, opened its big mouth, and grabbed the small pot between its jaws. Then, it ran into the depths of the forest.

The shock of the scene before them made them freeze on the spot. A few of them who reacted quickly immediately chased after it.

“Don’t just stand there, hurry up and chase after it!”

A loud shout woke everyone up and they quickly chased after the black dog.

Lin Qi quickly packed up the remaining ingredients and said, “Hey! Wait for me!”

He followed behind the group and exclaimed as he ran.

“This black dog is really amazing, it’s too smart!”

It turned out that the black dog did not run far from the beginning. Instead, it hid at the side and had heard the group’s entire plan.

Then, it waited for the right time. When Lin Qi finished making the Anti-hunger Fresh Mushroom Soup and everyone’s attention was focused on making traps, it rushed out with the pot in its mouth and ran away.

Even if someone had told Lin Qi that the black dog had been manipulating them to make traps in the first place, Lin Qi would still believe it.

That was because to make traps, there had to be bait!

It seemed that the big black dog was still a foodie. If that was the case, it would be much easier to deal with. After all, he had a gourmet system.

The black dog led the group of people deeper into the forest.

Although the acid rain had stopped, the surrounding trees and the ground had been corroded, leaving several potholes.

Lin Qi could occasionally see acid rain pits, sizzling and constantly emitting white smoke.

“Everyone, watch your steps. Don’t step into the acid rain pits,” someone with sharp eyes reminded them.

..

Gradually, their field of vision widened again.

The black dog led the group to an empty space. Strangely, the ground was covered with black stones.

In order to catch the black dog, the group did not think too much and rushed forward anyway.

However, something strange had happened!

Some of those black stones were extremely hot. It was as if they had been burning in a furnace for seven days and seven nights. They actually burned through the soles of their shoes.

Some of the stones were as cold as ice. From a distance, it seemed as if they were still emitting cold air. The moment someone stepped on them, they lost all feeling in their entire leg.

For a moment, screams rose and fell one after another.

Lin Qi stood at the edge and looked at the screaming crowd. He felt a lingering fear in his heart.

Fortunately, he was a little late because he was busy packing his things!

He raised his head to look at the black dog in the distance. He saw that it was standing leisurely on the stones, not affected in the slightest.

The black dog looked at the rocks on the ground, its eyes filled with disdain and a hint of fear, as if it knew the origin of those rocks, and had suffered some losses because of them.

The black dog noticed Lin Qi’s gaze, shook its head, and threw the small pot in its mouth to the side.

The pot was already licked clean.

Lin Qi admired the dog even more. A group of people were chasing after it, and it still had time to finish a pot of soup.

It must have starved to death in his previous life.

..

To be honest, Lin Qi did not have much interest in capturing the dog alive. He only wanted to rush back to the orc tribe from the beginning.

He had hoped that those people would show him the way, but now it seemed that he could not count on them.

Lin Qi only wanted to get away from there. He did not care whether he could find the way back or not. He just up and left.

It was not that he was cruel, but he was powerless.

After all, he did not have much strength and could only rely on the system.

Moreover, Lin Qi had advised them not to chase after the black dog. They had brought that upon themselves.

Lin Qi had not gone far when the sky suddenly changed, accompanied by a fierce wind.

Not good, the acid rain was beginning to return!

Lin Qi hurriedly took out a raincoat to avoid the acid rain and put it on hastily. Before he could heave a sigh of relief, it started to rain rocks!

The others were just as unprepared and were hit by the rainfall. They quickly ran away from that area.

At that moment, they finally realized where those strange rocks originated from.

In the panic, Lin Qi and the rest could only scurry away. Lin Qi cursed as he ran.

What a lousy place! There was acid rain and stone rain. Why had no one in the orc tribe told him?

They would definitely hear from him when he returned!

Lin Qi was wrong about accusing the orcs. In fact, the stone rain had a range. It was mainly concentrated in that open area, unlike the acid rain which covered the entire region.
