Chapter 42

Er Dongsheng stopped at a small stall, where the vendor was a Winged Demon. These demons naturally had large wings on their backs, making them excellent at reconnaissance and escape!

"Sir, please take a look, these are all top-quality items," the Winged Demon hurriedly put away a few items that looked fake. Deception required the right target; it was best not to provoke someone as formidable as Er Dongsheng!

At the stall, there were a few elemental gems, some rune stones, and finally a palm-sized mirror-like item made of metal!

Picking up a fire-red gem, a faint warmth spread from his hand. He could clearly feel the pure fire elemental energy contained within. This was a fire elemental gem. In his memory, this item was the food or cultivation material for certain elemental demons, much like the spirit stones of his previous life!

He had only heard of it before, never seen the real thing. He never thought he would see it now!

He quietly felt the boiling desire within him, especially the Ink Spirit Fire lurking in his heart, which surged and leaped with intense longing, constantly assaulting Er Dongsheng's inner self!

It seemed that he also belonged to the elemental evolution. The Ink Spirit Fire, which transcended this world, was indeed a form of fire element!

He had long suspected that he was an elemental evolution, but he had never encountered the corresponding elemental gem. He never thought he would see one now, and it was a fire elemental gem! His luck was really good!

Each demon's evolution could be roughly divided into physical evolution, elemental evolution, and mental evolution. So far, Er Dongsheng's evolution seemed to be a dual evolution of physical and elemental aspects. He didn't know if this was good or bad!

"I'll take this gem. Put it away, I'll look at the others!" Er Dongsheng handed the gem back to the vendor and looked at the other items, feeling somewhat disappointed. Most of the other gems were dark or death gems, which made him even more disappointed. However, it made sense; in the Dark Abyss, other elements were naturally less common than dark elements, so the gems formed were even fewer!

He then looked at a few rune stones, which were all made by ordinary demons, not natural rune stones. They were of little use, with pitifully weak power!

Rune stones were generally created by demons with the ability to craft, based on natural patterns, their own feelings, and some secret techniques. Their abilities varied widely, and their power was unpredictable. The few in front of Er Dongsheng were ordinary runes, such as a small fireball, which not only had pitiful power but also consumed a lot of energy. Compared to the mutated small fireball he controlled, they were useless!

However, it was said that some natural rune stones were incredibly powerful, with the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth! Each ancient demon lord had at least one mysterious natural rune stone. There were even rumors that the key to becoming a demon lord was to possess a natural rune stone. Er Dongsheng scoffed at this idea; he didn't believe such nonsense!

However, the power of rune stones was undeniable, but for him now, they were unattainable!

"What is this?" Er Dongsheng picked up a nearby copper plate that seemed strange to him!

"A mirror? No way!" He was puzzled; who in the Abyss would have the leisure to make a mirror out of metal? Metal was very valuable, and such a luxurious act would invite trouble!

"Sir, this is just a piece of metal. I found it by chance in a mountain range. At the time..."

The vendor opened his mouth to explain the origin of the mirror-like item, but suddenly...

"It's you! Damn, you still dare to come here!" A voice full of hatred came from behind Er Dongsheng!

Er Dongsheng turned his head in surprise. Did he know any demons in this place?

"Tsk tsk, it's you, beautiful lady. I didn't expect to see you here! Fate, indeed!" Er Dongsheng smiled, recognizing her.

Who was it?

The Abyssal Elf, Xilie! The one who fled after fighting Er Dongsheng last time!

Er Dongsheng casually glanced at the beauty. Compared to the last time, her aura had significantly improved. It seemed she had trained hard after fleeing last time!

However, he didn't want to bother with her! This place didn't allow fighting, and he had just arrived, not knowing anyone. It was best to avoid trouble!

Although he genuinely enjoyed fighting!

Er Dongsheng continued to study the strange mirror in his hand. He felt that this item seemed to hide a great secret! Don't ask him why he knew; it was his martial intuition!

Actually, if you suddenly saw a mirror in the Abyss, you would also find it very strange!

"You!"

Xilie looked at the calm Er Dongsheng, who seemed to completely ignore her! She felt a surge of frustration. She hated this guy so much that she had vowed to never rest until she avenged herself. But now, upon meeting again, she realized that this hateful guy didn't even consider her worth his attention!

"Just like before! A worm, a worm! In this guy's eyes, I have always been just a worm! Even now, it's the same!" Xilie's eyes glinted with cold light, her thoughts twisted, and her heart churned as if she was plotting some evil scheme!

She turned and left!

The surrounding demons, who had gathered to watch the spectacle, all showed disappointed expressions. Demon duels were rare, especially involving the well-known Abyssal Elf Xilie in this area.

This female demon, due to her formidable strength and beauty, had many admirers! Few demons dared to provoke her! They had thought Xilie would fight the new demon, but it ended without any conflict!

In the Abyss, female demons, especially those like Xilie, who were both powerful and beautiful, were the objects of many strong demons' desires! In the Abyssal creatures' mindset, only the strongest could match themselves, especially those who had successfully advanced in rank!

Conquering a female demon was more interesting to many demons than destroying a region! Especially for the famous elf race demons in the Abyss! The process of conquest was even more thrilling for the bored demons!

After all, Abyssal elves were different from succubi; they were very conservative and could be called the most loyal demons in the Abyss! This was similar to the elves in the surface plane!

So, how did that saying go?

Er Dongsheng was in trouble, big trouble!

But did he care?

...

Fighting, that's my favorite thing!
