Chapter 799 - The God of Plagues (1/2)

It had already been transformed into a dog with a mythical metal body. If it were to set foot into the lake, it would drown.

It could use magic to float, but doing so would only expose its true form and the Spirit Foxes would realize that it was no ordinary dog.

Dogs naturally knew how to swim, so why would they need magic?

Its plight was similar to a eunuch who did not want others to discover that he was no longer a man.

All of a sudden, the lake water turned black. It was blacker than Brett.

It began to happen near the three young foxes that were playing in the water.

What was going on?

The Black Dog had not the faintest idea. It had always been a dumb dog and ever since it was given a metallic body, it felt his intelligence was slowly fading away.

If Old Yellow was here, he might have discovered the cause of the problem.

However, Brett only knew how to run forwards and drop into the water. At the same time, he cast a spell on his own body.

“No, sisters, come back! It’s the descent of the God of Plagues!” The white fox shrieked in terror.

“What’s happening? What does the God of Plagues want with us?” The Spirit Foxes were bewildered.

Meanwhile, an abundance of dead fish rose from the depths of the lake and floated on the surface of the water. Most of the fish were quite huge with sizes beyond half a meter.

Tender and succulent fish was supposed to be an exquisite delicacy. Unfortunately, the fishes in the lake were tainted by the inky black substance and oozed a foul stench.

The three young foxes were rescued by the Black Dog in time. They still had not recovered from the shock.

Before they descended to Earth, their powers had already diminished and they failed to maintain their human forms. As such, they managed to pass through the Space Control.

The Black Dog judged that the Spirit Foxes’ powers at the time of descent were slightly greater than that of his and the Yellow Dog. In other words, they were at the Bucket-level instead of the Pond-level.

That was why it volunteered to be the Spirit Foxes’ tour guide. Its real intention was to win the hearts of the Foxes by being the brave hero, but it turned out that the Foxes were more interested in its master instead.

Now that the Foxes are safe and sound, the Black Dog was heartbroken to hear their remarks.

“Our brother-in-law’s the best. It’s fortunate that he assigned this Black Dog to escort us, or else we’ll be in big trouble.” A red fox, who was still reeling from the terror, commented.

“True, he’s not only handsome, but he’s so gentle and thoughtful. A hero from those fantasy novels indeed!”

The Black Dog laid on the ground and winced. No matter how much it did, it would only end up giving its master more credit.

Wait, how could it harbor this thought?

This was wrong!

The Black Dog shook its head violently in an attempt to chase those vile thoughts out.

In the meantime, the lake water continued to turn dark.

It did not take long for the entire lake to be engulfed by the darkness. Countless animals inhabiting that area were sacrificed in the process, including several giant crocodiles.

Apparently, the tips provided on the internet about avoiding the water were true.

“What happened?” A familiar voice could be heard.

“Brother-in-law’s here!” The group of Foxes cheered excitedly.

Brett wagged his tail and ran towards Vigilante A. It proudly announced. “Master, I rescued three of the Foxes.”
