Chapter 64: Cooperation
The tremors became more and more intense. It was difficult for Lin Qi to even stand firmly. He could only support himself against the tree beside him with both hands.
Moreover, there was a rumbling sound not far away. Lin Qi felt that the sound was somewhat familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it before.
Lin Qi looked in the direction of the sound and vaguely saw a very tall mountain. However, that mountain seemed very strange. The top of the mountain was actually flat. Then, there was a large amount of black smoke coming from the top of the mountain.
That mountain, that sound…
Lin Qi’s expression suddenly changed. He knew what it was…
F*ck!
He turned around and ran without saying anything.
However, before he could run a few steps, he heard a roar!
Hot magma spewed out under the heavy black smoke, and the rumbling sound spread in all directions.
The red-hot rocks were spewed out by the pressure and arched downwards across the sky by gravity, a beautiful sight if you ignore the serious consequences of a volcanic eruption.
After the lava flew out in the air for a short while, it flowed down the mountain, and everything was submerged by the lava.
Lin Qi did not even dare to look back, and could only run forward desperately.
Fortunately, Lin Qi had seen a documentary about the volcanic eruption in his previous life, so he had some impression of the sound and the signs before the eruption. Otherwise, he would have been melted by the lava by now.
However, how could a normal person with two legs run faster than the erupting magma?
Lin Qi felt the temperature behind him getting higher and higher, and the hot air almost suffocated him!
However, Lin Qi could not do anything about it.
When he realized that it was a volcanic eruption, he searched through the system, hoping to find something that could make him immune to the magma, but the result disappointed him.
Lin Qi only found a normal recipe in the system. That type of level one dish could stave off the heat, but how could it hold against the lava? Moreover, rocks could fall at any time.
Sensing that the lava was getting closer and closer to him, he had no choice. He took out all the food he could make and stuffed it into his mouth, but it was useless.
Now, unless he grew a pair of wings, he would definitely die.
Lin Qi was in despair.
At that moment, a black shadow rushed out from the side. It was the big black dog!
Lin Qi’s hope was ignited again. He grabbed the black dog and kicked hard with his feet, riding on the black dog’s body.
The black dog sensed that the human was riding on its body and turned around to bite Lin Qi.
However, when it turned around and saw that the lava was already very close, it had no choice but to suppress the urge to bite Lin Qi to death.
The big black dog growled, and its speed increased by a few notches.
The moment it sped up, it almost threw Lin Qi off its back.
He hurriedly lowered his body and wrapped his arms around the black dog’s neck.
The black dog turned its head to look at Lin Qi again and growled, as if saying, “Don’t push your luck!”
Lin Qi did not care whether the black dog was willing or not. If he were to fall, he would definitely die. Only a fool would let go!
The black dog saw that the human was so thick-skinned and knew that now was not the time to argue with him. Escaping was more important! So it did not care about him anymore.
Just like that, with the help of the black dog, Lin Qi finally escaped the lava. Lin Qi and the dog hid in a cave.
Just as they were out of danger, the black dog threw Lin Qi off his back with all its strength and then howled crazily at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi was also furious. He was just hitching a ride. What was the big fuss for?
‘You even drank my three pots of Anti-hunger Fresh Mushroom Soup. I haven’t settled the score with you yet.’
“Where did this wild dog come from? Believe it or not, I’ll smack you to death!”
Woof!
“You drank my three pots of mushroom soup. So what if I ride on you? Do you think I had a choice?”
Woof!
“You only know how to bark. You can’t even speak any human languages! Dumb dog!”
“Idiot!”
Lin Qi staggered. He was shocked. ‘Did the dog actually speak?’
Although Lin Qi was aware that a Clean Slate demonic beast was very special, he was still shocked when a dog spoke a human language.
“You’re a dog! You’re supposed to be a regular dog!”
“Can a regular dog spit fire? Do you have no idea what I am? I’m a Super Divine Beast!”
When Lin Qi heard that, he laughed out loud. “If you’re a divine beast, then I’m a god!”
That time, it was the black dog’s turn to be stunned. “What’s a god?”
“It’s more powerful than a divine beast, dog spirit!”
“I’m a divine beast!” After saying that, he opened his mouth and growled at Lin Qi.
Only then did Lin Qi remember that the big dog in front of him was an existence comparable to a seven-star demonic beast. Not to mention anything else, just its ability to spit fire was something that he, Lin Qi, could not easily handle.
Lin Qi was prepared to negotiate with the big black dog based on the principle that humans would not argue with dogs.
He knew that the black dog was a glutton, so he could use delicious food to entice it.
“Hmph, seeing that you saved me just now, I won’t argue with you anymore.” Lin Qi looked like the mature adult who lets bygones be bygones.
When the black dog heard that, it became even angrier. It planned to charge forward and bite that shameless human to death.
Lin Qi sat on the ground unhurriedly, then took out a bowl of Anti-hunger Fresh Mushroom Soup.
Sure enough, the moment Lin Qi took out the scrumptious soup, the black dog’s eyes went wide.
He waved the delectable soup in his hand at the black dog. “Do you want some?”
The black dog first nodded subconsciously, then it felt that such an action was not befitting of the dignity of a divine beast, so it shook its head after.
Lin Qi smiled and was about to say something when he saw the black dog suddenly turn its head to look at the entrance of the cave. His face darkened and he subconsciously looked at the entrance of the cave as well, but there was nothing there.
Lin Qi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had been tricked!
When he turned his head, the bowl in his hand was clean and there was no soup left at all.
Meanwhile, the black dog was lying on the side as if it had not done anything.
Lin Qi was truly amazed on the inside. That speed一did it only take three seconds?
Actually, when the two of them were running for their lives, Lin Qi felt that something was strange. The black dog’s speed was unbelievable!
As expected, the black dog was playing with them that time they chased it!
..
Without saying anything, Lin Qi took out another bowl of soup. However, that time it was the Marsh Mushroom Soup. Not only did it have an appetizing color, fragrance, and taste, but it could also increase the strength of the user without any side effects.
The black dog’s head instantly turned around. Its nose twitched, and saliva dripped out of its mouth.
At that time, the black dog did not even bother to hide it. It wanted to charge at the Marsh Mushroom Soup.
However, Lin Qi did not give it a chance. With a flick of his wrist, he put away the soup.
“I can make a lot of delicacies of this level. Moreover, the soup just now was not only delicious, but it can also increase the strength of the user in all aspects without any side effects.”
The black dog was stunned. “Increase strength? Really?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t lie to a dog!”
“I’ll say it again, I’m a divine beast!”
“Okay, okay, okay, divine beast, got it…” Lin Qi did not care at all as he pinched his ears.
“You drank three pots of my soup before and saved my life just now. Now, we’re even. I see that you’re very familiar with this forest. How about we work together?
“You take me out of this forest, and I’ll make you something delicious. How about that?”
