The moment the Dark King jumped, Lin Qi leaped up from its back and turned 180 degrees in the air using his physical strength.
He took out a bag of Devil Pepper Powder from the system and threw it at the giant dragon. He gathered all the power of the Imitation Fruit in his chest, took a deep breath, and spat in the same direction.
A ball of flame spurted out of his mouth, and the fireball carried the Devil Pepper Powder in the air toward the fireball aimed at them.
Boom!
The two fireballs collided and exploded as the Devil Pepper Powder filled the space in the explosion.
The giant dragons, who were closer, even inhaled a lot of the pepper powder. They felt a burning pain in their mouth, and a lot of the pepper powder flew into the dragons’ eyes.
For a moment, the place was filled with the screams of the giant dragons.
After Lin Qi spat out the fireball, his whole body weakened at the speed of light. He was plummeted into the sea by the heatwave created by the explosion.
The dark gold dragon flapped its wings and cleared the air. However, there was no trace of the man and the dog.
Moreover, the dragon egg was in the system storage, so the dragons could not sense its location. Lin Qi’s subconscious action saved their lives.
The giant dragons were full of anger, but they had nowhere to vent it. They came out in full force, but they could do nothing to the two little egg thieves.
Fireballs flew into the sea one after another. The scorching flames evaporated a lot of seawater, and the giant dragons gradually calmed down under the steam.
They looked at their leader, the dark gold dragon.
The dark gold dragon was also annoyed. “Why are you looking at me? Head back!”
“You’re leaving just like that? Aren’t you going to continue chasing them?”
“You think you can catch them then? Hmph! Go back and mate. If we lose two dragon eggs, we’ll make more! Otherwise, what else can you do!”
The other dragons looked at each other and flew toward the Dragon Valley under the lead of the dark gold dragon.
..
On Lin Qi’s side, they escaped the pursuit of the giant dragons with the help of the Imitation Fruit. However, he crashed into the sea’s surface under the impact of the explosion and lost consciousness.
When he woke up, it was already the evening of the next day. He was lying on a beach, his calves soaking in the water.
He struggled to sit up. First, he looked at himself. His clothes were basically torn, and there were burn marks on his body. Then, he looked around. Dark King was lying not far away.
Lin Qi tried to stand up, but he could not muster any strength. Moreover, he gradually felt the pain from the burns on his body.
He flipped through the system and took out the Refreshing Drink that he had been rewarded previously.
[ Refreshing Drink: After taking it, it can clear away heat and detoxify poison. It can also calm the person who takes it. You can take it continuously. ]
[ Side Effect: Impulsive urge to urinate. ]
The drink was placed in a glass bottle, and the mouth of the bottle was stuffed with a cork. It looked more like a bottle of red wine.
Lin Qi pulled out the cork with great effort. It weighed a ton, and he drank more than half of the bottle in one gulp.
After a moment of silence, the drink showed its effects. Lin Qi felt his chest gradually cool down, and his wound was no longer as painful. He moved his body slightly, and finally, he could stand up.
Lin Qi staggered to the Dark King’s side and felt its heartbeat. He patted the big dog’s head.
There was no reaction at all.
He lifted Dark King’s head and placed it on his leg. He opened the dog’s mouth and stuffed the rest of the Refreshing Drink into it.
He did not know if it was the effect of the drink or if it just choked but the Dark King spat out the drink in its mouth. Lin Qi could not dodge in time and his face was sprayed.
Cough, cough, cough!
Dark King struggled to stand up and coughed hard.
It looked at the drink in Lin Qi’s hand and raised its front paw, wanting to hit him.
Lin Qi dodged and fell to the ground. The Dark King also fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
The man and dog looked at each other and then laughed loudly.
They must have had a lot of good fortune for surviving such a great disaster!
Lin Qi took out the Anti-hunger Fresh Mushroom Soup that he had prepared from the system. He drank two big mouthfuls and gave the rest to the Dark King.
After they finished the thick soup, they recovered a little and helped each other to stand up.
“Do you know where we are?” Lin Qi had no clue.
“Not good, not good, not good…”
“Talk about people… Talk about dogs… Tell me something I can understand.”
“Oh, I just don’t know.”
“…”
No matter how badly they were injured, that undead dog would not change its nature.
Behind them was an endless ocean, and the beach under their feet was endless as well.
Lin Qi could see many seabirds and crabs on the beach. Along the beach, he could see fruit trees, and he could vaguely see many peach trees.
“By the way, why did I pass out? What happened after that?” Lin Qi was a little curious.
“You plummeted into the sea at quite the speed and got knocked out. I saw that you passed out, and then those stupid dragons choked and coughed because of what you threw. I took the opportunity to bite your leg and quickly swam into the deep sea.
“Then those stupid dragons started throwing fireballs into the sea like they were insane. I could feel the heatwaves from the bottom of the sea, and then I fainted. When I woke up, I saw you and that was it.”
“Oh, thank you.” Lin Qi sincerely thanked the Dark King for once.
Lin Qi had always considered himself not much of a decent man, but he always believed that one should have a conscience.
“It’s okay, you can be polite with me.” The Dark King waved its big claw with unspeakable bravado.
“…”
Lin Qi was about to say something, but he suddenly froze. Then, he hurriedly ran to the beach, untied his pants, and began to pee into the sea.
That event was witnessed by the Dark King, and it was speechless.
It was the side effect of the Refreshing Drink, which was the concoction that the Dark King had spat out.
After a moment of relief, Lin Qi realized that his clothes were soaking wet.
He glanced at the sky. The sun was about to set, so he decided to take things as they came.
He and the Dark King picked up some dry wood at the edge of the forest and found an empty space.
That was because neither man nor dog knew that place, and they were not in a good state.
Lin Qi picked up the dry wood, dug into his pocket, and looked at the Dark king.
“… What are you looking at?”
“… Light the fire.” Lin Qi almost said, “I’m looking at you.”.
Dark King reluctantly spat out a small mouthful of fire, and the dry wood instantly burned. He set up a simple wooden frame above the dry wood and took out a small pot of fresh water.
After waiting for a while, the water boiled so he took out a towel and soaked it with water. After wiping himself clean, he washed his hair with the remaining water.
Then, Lin Qi took out clean clothes from the system and put them on. He felt refreshed.
All the fatigue from before was swept away.
Dark King next to him said disdainfully, “Pretentious!”
It lay on the ground quietly, wanting to use the warmth of the bonfire to dry its fur.
Under the warm rays of the setting sun, that scene was indescribably comfortable.
It’s like a person on holiday with their beloved pet, which is quite cozy if you ignore that the dog can breathe fire and likes to eat dragon eggs.
