Lin Qi remembered that in the cartoons of his previous life, dogs or cats often used their tails as propellers, but he assumed that was fictional until he saw the Dark King use its tail as a propeller.
That speed一Lin Qi felt that it could be used as the propeller of a helicopter.
Indeed, the cartoons really had not deceived him!
Fortunately, Dark King’s special skills allowed them to successfully escape the pursuit of the water dragon. After all, that was a six-star devil beast.
“Is that stupid dragon still chasing us?” The Dark King was so busy that it did not even have time to turn its head back.
“It’s not chasing us anymore. You can stop now,” Lin Qi hurriedly said.
Only then did the Dark King stop.
“Have we poked the dragon’s nest? Forget about the pure-bred giant dragon, we also met the mixed-blood dragon of the sea.” The Dark King was exhausted.
“D*mn it, if it wasn’t for the fact that it was a water dragon, I would have burned it to death!”
‘Strictly speaking, we did poke the dragon’s nest…’ Lin Qi complained in his heart.
They first caught the holy light fish for half the night, then fought with the water dragon. Coupled with the long escape, the man and the dog were exhausted.
Lin Qi and the Dark King looked at each other and decided to go back to sleep.
..
However, when they woke up the next day, they were surrounded by a thick white fog.
The visibility was less than 15 feet, and they could not even tell the exact position of the sun. They could only guess that it was daytime.
Although Lin Qi had never drifted at sea, he knew that encountering a thick fog was definitely a very bad thing.
Even if they were close to land, they would not be able to discover it with such visibility.
More importantly, they had completely lost their sense of direction.
Lin Qi even took out a holy light fish. Even the light from the holy light fish could not penetrate the fog.
He looked at the Dark King. “Try spitting fire in that direction.”
Dark King turned its head and spat a fireball in the direction that Lin Qi was pointing at. The light from the flame dispersed some of the fog nearby, but the effect was very poor.
Lin Qi and the Dark King felt that the fog was abnormal. “Wait and see. Ordinary fog will dissipate soon.”
Ordinary fog is formed because of the large temperature difference between day and night, which caused the water vapor in the air to saturate and form small water droplets. When there were a large number of such small water droplets, the fog would form.
When sunlight passed through the fog, all the colors of light were reflected by it, so the fog looked like a vast expanse of whiteness.
The thicker the fog, the lower the visibility.
If it was an ordinary fog, there were two ways to make it disappear. One was to increase the wind speed, and the other was to evaporate the small water droplets that formed the fog.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the thicker the fog was, the more it would disappear at noon.
Lin Qi decided to wait.
The sudden appearance of the fog affected Lin Qi and the Dark King’s appetite. Lin Qi did not eat a mouthful, and the Dark King only ate a small pot of mushroom soup.
Lin Qi estimated that half a day had passed, but the fog around them did not show any signs of dissipating.
Even if they woke up in the early morning, it should still be noon after such a long time.
Lin Qi looked at Dark King with a serious expression. “This isn’t regular fog!”
Dark King was a little speechless. “Even a fool knows that! Why did you get serious all of a sudden…”
Lin Qi immediately felt that the situation was hopeless.
“Then what do you think we should do?”
“Hmph, I’ve already thought of a solution. Watch me.” The Dark King raised its thick and strong tail, inserted it into the water, then spun it quickly.
Under the Dark King’s acceleration, the wooden raft moved forward quickly.
The Dark King sped up as it turned around to show off to Lin Qi. “No matter where this fog originated from, it just means that we’ve entered a strange area. As long as we leave this area quickly, we’ll be fine.”
Dark King’s sudden seriousness stunned Lin Qi.
At first glance, it sounded very reasonable.
However, despite the Dark King’s speed, they still did not leave the fog.
Unknowingly, the light around them gradually dimmed. It seemed that the sun had set.
In the fog, Lin Qi and the Dark King were surrounded by darkness. It was as if there was a black hole that absorbed all the light around them.
Lin Qi took out a holy light fish from the system and a wooden stick. He tied the holy light fish to the wooden stick and used it as a torch.
However, that was not a long-term solution. If they did not get out of the fog, they might have to spend the rest of their lives at sea. Although they did not have to worry about food and drink for a short period of time, the system’s food was not obtained out of thin air.
Lin Qi could actually rely on the system upgrade to obtain free ingredients, but he did not even have half the gold coins needed on him right now.
In such an environment, the Dark King could not maintain his composure.
On the raft, it kept spinning in circles.
Lin Qi looked at it and was annoyed. “Can you stop spinning!”
“It makes me feel better. What can you do about it?” Dark King also started to become irritable.
“You feel better? If you hadn’t have taken me to steal dragon eggs, would we be here now?” Lin Qi stood up and pointed at Dark King’s nose.
“F*ck! You’re just a human! If I didn’t save you, you would have been burned to ashes by the lava!”
“You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn’t stolen my soup in the first place, this never would have happened!”
“You f*cking…” Seeing as the arguing escalated, they were about to fight.
The holy light fish tied to the wooden stick trembled and emitted an even brighter phosphorescent light.
The man and dog duo gradually simmered down under the bright light.
Not long after, they calmed down and began to regret their actions.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Lin Qi and the Dark King did not dare to look at each other. They simply lowered their heads in embarrassment.
After a while, Lin Qi broke the silence. “Sorry, I… Actually, I was frustrated just now and said those words in anger. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Me too, I said those words in anger. After knowing you for so long, I’m quite happy. Your cooking is so delicious. Haha…” Dark King laughed awkwardly.
They looked at each other and chuckled twice. Then, they looked at the holy light fish at the same time.
The man and the dog sighed in their hearts at the same time. That fish really lived up to its reputation. Fortunately, Lin Qi thought of using the light it emitted as a lamp.
Dark King looked at the fog and then looked at the holy light fish. It suddenly thought of something and muttered in a low voice, “So the legend is true!”
Lin Qi asked curiously, “What did you say?”
The Dark King then began to speak, “Legend has it that in the endless sea, there is a unique demon fish. The demon fish can release a unique fog. All creatures that enter this fog will lose their sense of direction and keep circling in the same spot until they die of exhaustion.
“This way, the demon fish can eat its prey without bloodshed. However, this also shows that the attack power of this fish is not high.”
“Then we have to quickly find the demon fish and kill it!” Lin Qi said excitedly..
