Lin Qi brought the Dark King to the gate of the tribe and asked the two orcs standing guard at the gate if they had seen Yu Meng.

The two orcs looked at each other, and one of them said, “Yu Meng? Last night, she left the tribe with a package.”

The other orc echoed, “That’s right, and she looked very unhappy, with a cold face. We greeted her, but she didn’t look at us.”

“Isn’t she usually like this? Cold.”

“But last night she was especially cold. She usually nods even if she doesn’t speak.”

“You’re right…”

Lin Qi interrupted the chattering of the two orcs. “Do you know where she went?”

“Let me think, it should be in that direction.” One of the orcs pointed to the left.

“Okay, thank you…” Lin Qi was about to thank him and leave.

“No, it’s in that direction.” The other orc pointed to the right instead.

Lin Qi covered his face with both hands. As expected, one could not count on the intelligence of orcs.

He watched the two orcs quarreling but he did not want to stop them. They might as well beat the brains out of each other.

Wait, Lin Qi suddenly thought of something and looked at the Dark King.

The Dark King was scared by his look and said warily, “What are you thinking?”

Lin Qi was caught off guard and said embarrassedly, “Well… Dark King, can you follow Yu Meng’s scent?”

The Dark King heard that and its fur stood on end. It opened its mouth and was about to bite Lin Qi.

Lin Qi was so scared that he quickly took out a pile of delicacies from the system. “Dark King, you’re so powerful. You can definitely help me find Yu Meng, right?”

The Dark King looked at the delicacies in front of him and laughed in anger.

“Don’t think that just because we have a good relationship, you can insult me. This is the last time. If you treat me like a dog again, I’ll bite you to death!”

“No problem, no problem. I promise there won’t be a next time.” Lin Qi raised three fingers and swore to the sky.

The Dark King swallowed all the delicious food and recalled the scent it smelled last night. Then, it lowered its head and sniffed the ground.

Not long after, Dark King looked to the left and said to Lin Qi, “She went that way.”

Without saying anything, Lin Qi ran to the left.

Before he left, he heard one of the orcs say to his companion, “See, I told you!”

“Hmph, you just got lucky.”

“Bullsh*t! You…”

Lin Qi could not hear the rest of the conversation, but he did not want to hear it anyway.

..

The Dark King led the way in front while Lin Qi followed behind.

As they walked, Dark King suddenly stopped. Lin Qi quickly walked up.

“What? You found her?”

Black King nodded. Lin Qi said excitedly, “Then let’s go quickly!”

After saying that, he was about to walk forward when Dark King stopped Lin Qi. “Don’t rush, there’s an issue.”

“What’s wrong?” Lin Qi asked nervously.

“Other than that woman named Yu Meng, I can smell the scent of other humans,” the Dark King said with certainty.

Other humans should be other participants. After all, no humans usually entered that forest.

“That’s fine. I should know them. Yu Meng knows them too. They shouldn’t make things difficult for her.”

The Dark King led Lin Qi forward. “You know them? Are you sure?”

It pushed aside a huge leaf in front of it.

It saw a mess behind it. There were traces of fire, cuts from swords to trees, and many places were covered in ice. It was obvious that there was a fight here.

Lin Qi stepped forward to identify it carefully. “It’s magic. Judging from its power, it’s at least an intermediate-level mage. This ice should be Yu Meng’s magic. The marks of fire…” Lin Qi narrowed his eyes.

“Why? Do you know it?”

“Ah, not only do I know it, but I’m also very familiar with it.”

There were many fire mages among the participants, but there were not many intermediate-level mages. Coincidentally, Lin Qi knew just one.

Moreover, that mage was able to fight Yu Meng, so the identity of that person was obvious.

“Dark King, just trust me when we get there.”

The Dark King and Lin Qi had already formed a tacit understanding. When it heard Lin Qi’s tone, it naturally understood what he meant. It chuckled to show that it understood.

..

After a while, they came to a cave. The Dark King sniffed carefully and said to Lin Qi, “It’s here.”

When Lin Qi heard that, he took the lead and walked into the cave.

The cave was very big. There were torches on both sides of the cave walls every 15 feet, so they could barely see their surroundings.

Soon, they came to the end of the cave. It was like a different world inside.

Lin Qi saw a group of people drinking wine and eating meat inside. Yu Meng was tied to the side with a cloth in her mouth.

Following Lin Qi’s arrival, everyone stood up and looked at Lin Qi at the same time.

Clap, Clap, Clap! A round of applause was heard.

Lin Qi saw Chen Lin walking toward him while clapping.

“Chen Lin, I know you have a problem with me. If you let Yu Meng go, I’ll take whatever moves you have!”

“Sure. If you hand over the holy light fish, I’ll let you go.”

Chen Lin actually knew about the holy light fish. ‘How did he know?’

Chen Lin saw Lin Qi’s confusion. “Who told you to brag so brazenly on the way? Naturally, someone will hear you.”

‘Oh, that’s not so bad.’ Lin Qi thought.

“Okay, I’ll give you the holy light fish and you let Yu Meng go.” As he said that, he took out two holy light fishes from the system.

For a moment, the entire cave was filled with brilliant phosphorescence. Some people were stunned.

Chen Lin greedily walked toward Lin Qi and reached out his hand to grab the holy light fish.

Lin Qi stretched out his other hand to block Chen Lin and raised his head toward Yu Meng.

Chen Lin chuckled and gestured to the person behind him.

That person nodded and walked toward Yu Meng. He untied the rope on Yu Meng’s body and dragged her over. Then, he pushed her toward Lin Qi.

Yu Meng leaned on Lin Qi and did not dare to look at him. She had just scolded him yesterday, but she was saved by him today.

Lin Qi saw that Yu Meng was fine, so he handed the holy light fish to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin took the holy light fish and kept groping on its body.

However, just as Lin Qi was about to leave, he was blocked by others. He looked around and asked indifferently, “Chen Lin, what is the meaning of this?”

“What do you mean? What else could this mean? You can leave, but Yu Meng has to stay.”

“So you’re not keeping your word?” Lin Qi clenched his fists in anger.

“So what? Hahaha, don’t you see how many people are here? And you’re just one person.” Chen Lin laughed arrogantly.

Lin Qi looked around silently and even saw some familiar faces. Back then, he felt sorry for them and even cooked for them.

“How ironic!” Lin Qi laughed self-deprecatingly. “Ever since I met you, I’ve been trying to teach you a lesson.

“Which is, dumb*sses must die!”
