Chapter 33

Three months later, the abyss had entered the dry season. However, this dry season was somewhat peculiar, as the temperature was noticeably colder than in the past.

The little succubus, dressed in a delicate leather outfit, ran out of the cave with high spirits! On her back was the small round shield made by Er Dongsheng, and in her hand was a small, exquisite bow and arrow! Around her waist, she wore a leather belt with various small trinkets hanging from it.

All these things were made by Er Dongsheng using the spoils from their last battle. The little one cherished them so much that she almost slept with them every night!

"Brother, I'm going hunting!"

With these two small weapons, and after Er Dongsheng taught her archery, the little one began to wander around the cave, occasionally hunting small prey, which became a daily necessity and a source of joy for her.

"Okay, be careful, and come back soon!" He was now more at ease letting the little one go out alone, as the surroundings were relatively safe.

At this point, within a one-mile radius of Er Dongsheng's cave, there were no large, dangerous animals, especially carnivores, which had vanished without a trace.

Near the cave, to ensure the little one's safety while playing, Er Dongsheng would conduct a thorough sweep every few days. As a result, the nearby predators knew that the strange, barren mountain peak was home to a dangerous demon who did not allow any predators to approach!

However, this also benefited the gentle herbivores and other harmless small animals. At least in the little succubus's perception, the number of abyssal toto beasts in this territory had suddenly surged. Even though the little one hunted a few every day, their numbers did not decrease!

The abyssal toto beast was the little one's favorite, especially the dish called "braised rabbit head" that Er Dongsheng made, which was her absolute favorite! Although the little succubus still couldn't understand why a dish made from the head of a toto beast was called "braised rabbit head"!

The little one had asked her brother about it, but at the time, he looked sad and remained silent, gazing at the gray sky. The little one was very understanding and felt that the name must be a big secret, so she didn't ask again.

The little succubus ran along, wearing the small leather boots that Er Dongsheng had made for her. She ran all the way to the foot of the mountain, stopping at the place where Er Dongsheng stored water. She skillfully moved the small stone that covered the cave entrance, threw a wooden bucket tied with vines into the well, and drank a few large gulps of water.

"Glug, glug." She then opened her small wooden cup, filled it with water, sealed it, and carefully poured the remaining water in the bucket back into the well, covering it again before setting off once more!

Actually, the little succubus always felt that everything her brother did was magical, like this well, which could store water even during the dry season, and on such a large scale, which amazed her! She clearly remembered that in her clan, she almost never got a share of water!

Her clan, like many others living in this forest, had no way to store water due to the forest's strong water-absorbing ability. During the dry season, they could only rely on water from food or trade food for water with demons who had water magic!

Water resources were extremely precious in this forest, and sometimes a pound of water could be worth a pound of food.

So, even though there was now plenty of water, the little one still cherished it greatly!

However, there were even more things that amazed the little one, such as delicious food, tasty fruit juice, and the mouth-watering meat soup, and so on...

"And, and, the cool cave where my favorite fruits are stored. Oh, and the ice chips I love to eat..." Thinking about it, the little succubus's mouth watered. She patted her bulging little belly, her face full of distress. She wished she could go back and eat her favorite foods, but she had just eaten and was too full to eat more!

"Ah, life is so lonely..." The little girl mimicked her brother, shaking her head and sighing, then... ran off happily.

She didn't care about loneliness! Exercising and then going back for a big meal was the real deal!

...

The little succubus lay in the grass, her small body tightly pressed to the ground, her eyes fixed on the toto beast's den ahead. Her sharp little ears stood up, listening carefully!

There's a big one in there! Should I catch it and ask brother to make soup? Or roast it? Unfortunately, I haven't stored many toto beast heads yet. If I had, I could ask brother to make that braised rabbit head!

The little one lay there, lost in thought!

"Squeak, squeak!"

"It's coming out!"

The little one hid even more carefully!

This must be a large toto beast. Just looking at the tail that poked out of the den, it was about as thick as the little succubus's forearm. It seems that living in Er Dongsheng's territory, without the threat of predators, these creatures had grown quite plump!

The little succubus began to quietly draw an arrow made from abyssal branches from her waist, nock it, and aim!

She shot!

"Whoosh!"

The arrow, made from abyssal branches, flew steadily from the little one's hand, like a sword, flashing through the air and piercing the toto beast's back directly!

"Thud!"

The arrow drove the toto beast's body into the ground, and the arrow's tail wobbled slightly!

It seems the little one's strength was considerable. Combined with the good stability of the abyssal branches, even without feathers on the arrow's tail, it still hit the mark!

"Yay! Very good!"

Imitating her brother, she praised herself, then ran over to pick up the toto beast and examine it closely!

"What a big one! Lulu will be in for a treat!" Her big eyes sparkled as she looked at the plump toto beast in her hands!

"What should I ask brother to make?"

"Braised?"

"Roasted?"

"No, how about..."

...
