Three days later, inside the cave.

"Are you ready?" Erdongsheng asked with a smile, looking at the little succubus who was fidgeting with her small basket.

"Mmm, Lulu is ready!" The little one tightened the strap of her basket and replied confidently.

It had been three days since the heart-stirring battle, and both Erdongsheng and little Lulu had fully recovered from their injuries.

After staying in the cave for three days, Erdongsheng, who was almost lazy to the bone, decided to go out for a walk. There were no entertainment activities in the Abyss, and if he didn't create something to do, he would go crazy immediately.

However, unexpectedly, little Lulu insisted on coming along. He didn't want to agree at first, but under the tearful assault of little Lulu, Erdongsheng quickly gave in.

"Fine, if you want to go, let's go. With my current abilities, what creature around here could harm her?"

Indeed, the aura of an Abyssal Demon was not to be trifled with. There were probably few foolish creatures in this forest that would dare to provoke him!

He spent a little more time making a basket for the little succubus, similar to his own but smaller and more delicate. After advancing to a Demon, making such things was much easier. Facing claws that were several times stronger and more powerful, the tough vines that once made Erdongsheng's claws hurt could only kneel and beg for mercy!

The little succubus was delighted with the small, exquisite basket, constantly putting in and taking out her little items, never tiring of it.

The little one didn't have much: a few beautiful animal bones, oddly shaped stones, and a few wooden toys that Erdongsheng made for her casually. Although these were ordinary and not treasures, they were the most cherished possessions of the little succubus, and even Erdongsheng couldn't touch them!

"Alright, let's go!" Erdongsheng waved his hand, and the little succubus, beaming with joy, held his large claw. Hand in hand, the two of them set off!

Their goal was to pick some fresh fruits and plants and bring back some special meats!

...

"Hmm, this is good, the taste is nice. System, analyze the components and record it!"

"Automatic naming: Blueberry Fruit. Contains trace amounts of active substances, aids digestion, promotes blood circulation, and accelerates wound healing!"

"Hmm, good. Come, girl, try this." Erdongsheng handed the Abyssal fruit, which the system named Blueberry Fruit, to the little girl and picked some more from the tree to take back. This fruit was quite good, sweet and sour, and very refreshing.

"This, ugh, how bitter is this?"

"Warning: Trace amounts of toxins detected. System initiating expulsion. Expulsion complete!"

"Damn, this fruit contains toxins?" Erdongsheng quickly threw away the blood-red fruit he was holding, opened the small wooden cup he carried, and gulped down a large mouthful of water, then spat it out. In just a moment, his tongue felt slightly numb. He didn't expect this fruit to look so good but have such strong toxins. What a rip-off!

"Quick, record this and remind me if I encounter it again!"

...

Perhaps you've noticed, but Erdongsheng has discovered another powerful ability of the Abyssal System: it can analyze and record any item, organize it, and store it in a database.

This function is incredibly powerful. With this ability, he no longer needs to worry about the myriad plants and animals in the Abyss, and he doesn't have to fear accidentally eating something that could send him to meet his maker!

With this ability, Erdongsheng's food choices have greatly expanded. Even in the harshest cold season, he is confident he can survive safely!

However, the main function of the Abyssal System, the Game Space, remains a mystery to him. The Abyssal System should know something about this, but now this broken system tells him that it has privately and willingly merged with the Will of the Abyss, causing some of its functions to change, or rather, evolve. The Game Space has also evolved and is temporarily closed.

When he heard this explanation, Erdongsheng was so angry that his nose almost twisted. Did he lose his hard-earned treasure? Was it swallowed by the Abyssal System? He only asked it to analyze, but it just analyzed it away?

Can you be any more of a rip-off?

Not mentioning that broken system, just thinking about it makes Erdongsheng furious. Now, let's focus on the brother and sister.

They walked and stopped, tasting a bit here and there. They picked a few non-toxic fruits and immediately threw away the toxic ones. Erdongsheng now felt that the system's analysis function was quite a rip-off; he had to taste it himself...

"Didn't you see, my tongue is numb? Fortunately, my body's resistance is high enough, or I would have been tortured to death by this broken system!" He muttered, then looked back at the little one, who was happily eating, her face covered in red and blue fruit juice. The little succubus, seeing him look back, gazed at him expectantly, thinking there might be new fruit to eat.

Not everyone in the Abyss can eat various types of fruits so carelessly! The little succubus is really happy.

"Ah, forget it, I'll just continue my hard life!"

Wandering aimlessly, stopping and tasting, and sometimes playing with the little succubus, about three hours passed before they finally reached their destination, a sheltered mountain hollow! There was a large sandy area here.

This was their target location, the hiding place of the Abyssal Worm Beasts!

Abyssal Worm Beasts are small insect-like creatures, about the length of an adult's index finger from his previous life, roughly ten centimeters long! These worms have no offensive capabilities, and their defense is extremely poor. They feed on Abyssal soil and decaying leaves, much like earthworms from his previous life, but they taste incredibly delicious. There's a saying: chicken flavor, crispy, yes, that's exactly it. Whether grilled or eaten raw, the taste is unforgettable! This is one of the best ingredients in Erdongsheng's memory, second only to the Abyssal Tree Heart.

However, although they are good and have excellent life activity, which is great for healing external injuries, they are even harder to catch. It's not that they run fast, but Abyssal Worm Beasts usually hide deep in the sand and rarely come to the surface. At the slightest disturbance, they burrow underground without hesitation. Catching them is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

"This won't be a problem for me! I caught so many fish in my previous life; I can't be defeated by a little worm in this life?"

Saying this, Erdongsheng took something out of his basket with a sly smile, removed the leaves covering it, and a piece of rotten meat was revealed. Instantly...

"Mmm, it stinks, it stinks!" The little one, who was about to come over to see what her brother was doing, jumped far away, her tail drooping. It was too smelly.

... Awkward ...

"Damn, this is too intense, almost as bad as an old lady's thirty-year-old foot binding cloth from ancient times." He quickly covered the leaves again, and the air immediately became fresh.

Shaking his head, which was dizzy from the smell, Erdongsheng began to prepare the little succubus.

Fishing, no, worm fishing began...
