Chapter 61: Everyone’s Pursuit

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

According to 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 high intelligence. They were as smart as humans. On the contrary, some of them had lived for a long time so they gradually grew smarter than humans.

The participant with the longsword was 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 any of you heard of Clean Slate demonic beasts?”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd. The others shook their heads to indicate that they were not familiar with that term. Lin Qi was the same as them.

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

‘If I have the chance to know 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 powerless demonic beasts that only possess a realm. Some of them are born that way, such as the holy light fish, and some of them lost their power due to various reasons.”

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

Actually, it was quite 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 captured 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.

Even the lowest seven-star demonic beast was an existence that 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 their respective 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! It’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 trial. 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 peculiar, and he wanted to follow it to discover more.

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 did not 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 keep the food in that cave and let the people of the tribe collect it.

He quickly made the stone pies 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 about the stone pies being eaten by other people or demonic beasts because they would not know 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 in there.

After making the stone pies, Lin Qi quickly ran out. He was afraid that if he could not find the black dog in time, 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 had not expected to stumble upon them shouting and running helter-skelter.

It was as if they were trying to catch chickens. They were all running around trying to chase the black dog. They were very busy.

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

As mentioned earlier, the black dog seemed to not have any actual strength. Otherwise, it would not have to circle around the trees 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 out of reach. That made everyone even more excited. It was as if they had lost their rationality.

Lin Qi thought about it and felt that their actions were quite 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 their only chance to make a profit?it was impossible for them to give up now.

However, after chasing it for some distance, the forest became 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.

They 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?”

Several 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? Since the acid rain stopped, 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 involve himself with them 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 the group would be guaranteed if they all 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 the 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 was not as high as that black dog’s.

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.
