Chapter 53

(Listen, it's said that there will be a strong recommendation for categorization tomorrow. Please support Xi Xue, thank you very much.)

In the southern part of the distant forest, on a bare mountain peak, a cute little girl sat at the entrance of a cave, her eyes gazing into the distance in a daze!

The little succubus sat on a rock, propping her chin, her eyes unfocused, lost in thought!

"Murmur, why hasn't big brother come back yet? Lulu misses big brother!" she pouted, her face showing her unhappiness.

In recent days, Lulu had always stayed at the cave entrance, looking into the distance, hoping for someone's return. Every time she heard a sound, she would run out happily, but she always returned with a disappointed look!

She missed her big brother very much. Every time she woke up at night and looked at the empty big bed next to her, she felt no warmth that she used to feel when her big brother was around. Lying on her small bed, she tossed and turned, thinking about the times they spent together, bitter yet sweet. The first time fishing for bugs, the first time picking fruits, the first time eating ice chips—thinking about these, the little one couldn't sleep!

"Lulu, it's time to eat!" Sibia's voice came from inside the cave. In recent days, the little one had no energy to bother him, which made him much more relaxed. His voice sounded full of energy!

"Okay!" Lulu replied listlessly. Although food was the most beloved thing for this little foodie, she couldn't muster the spirit without her big brother!

"Big brother, why haven't you come back yet?"

"Lulu really misses you!"

...

The darkness of the night passed, and the darkest moment in the abyss slowly dissipated. Light gradually spread from all around, and a new day arrived!

At this moment, in the forest where Er Dongsheng was.

He was wrapped in large tree leaves, even his feet were covered with layers of leaves, and his body was wrapped in pieces of leaves, tied tightly with thin vines to prevent the leaves from falling off!

Er Dongsheng's originally rosy face had turned pale. He moved forward with difficulty, stumbling, as if he had been severely injured!

"This won't do. I must find another way. This thing is too dangerous," Er Dongsheng stopped, looked up at the sky, and his face turned even more grim!

He took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then decisively returned in the direction he came from!

Did he give up? What exactly happened inside?

...

Half a day ago, last night, Er Dongsheng was lying on a tall abyss tree, sleeping comfortably. This place was high up, and generally, poisonous insects and wild beasts rarely came to such heights, so he should have been able to sleep soundly!

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. In the middle of the night, while Er Dongsheng was dozing off, a series of rumbling sounds came, waking him from his dream!

"Damn, what's going on?" He cursed, looked around, but everything was quiet, and there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary!

"Rumble~" Another loud noise.

"What is this~?" Er Dongsheng looked around again, as if he had an idea. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky, and his face turned extremely grim!

"Damn, the Death Rain, how is this possible!"

He quickly tore off some leaves from nearby and haphazardly tied them to his body. Unfortunately, his movements were still too slow, and some drops fell on the scales not covered by the leaves, instantly causing a tingling and piercing pain!

"Damn, damn, how can this exist, how is this possible, wasn't it said that it only appears once every few thousand years!"

He covered his body more quickly with leaves, even wrapping his hands and feet carefully, completely covering himself with abyss tree leaves!

He jumped down from the tree, grabbed some thin vines, and quickly tied the leaves tightly all over his body, not missing a single spot!

Drip, drip, the Death Rain slowly fell! Even with the leaves covering his body, these things still found their way in, causing occasional tingling and piercing pain!

"I must find a place to hide, or I'll die!"

At this moment, it was a race against death. If Er Dongsheng couldn't find a place to hide before the Death Rain fully fell, he would be saying goodbye to the abyss!

"Calm down, calm down," Er Dongsheng kept reassuring himself, not to panic, there was still time!

He quickly returned, remembering a place where he could temporarily hide, even though it seemed dangerous too!

...

Looking at the black fissure in front of him, Er Dongsheng hesitated for a moment, then found a vine extending down from the fissure and climbed down!

There was no time to think. Even if it was more dangerous down there, it was better than waiting to die up here!

If it's fate, it's fate; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided! Let's go for it!

...

If you ask the demons in this area what is the most dangerous thing in the Death Land, they can list a bunch of terrifying dangers that will make you shudder!

But according to Er Dongsheng's understanding, the most widely recognized danger in the Death Land is not the sudden black smoke columns, not the annoying mutated poisonous insects, and not the complex terrain of the Death Land, but the Death Rain, which brings despair even to second-level demons!

This thing, touching it causes injury, and touching it causes death!

The Death Rain, as the name suggests, is rain that makes all demons experience death! It is a specialty of the Death Land, and even during the era when the Death Land erupted, it was rare! He didn't expect it to appear this time and catch him!

The Death Rain is different from the abyss rain season every three years. These terrifying rains contain intense toxins and powerful corrosive abilities. Except for the mutated plants in this area that can withstand such harsh conditions, other animals and plants would be reduced to ashes in no time, leaving not even a trace!

Er Dongsheng felt, is this~ the legendary corpse-dissolving powder? How is it even more powerful than aqua regia! This doesn't let demons live!

"Why am I so unlucky? It's just an adventure, picking up a treasure, not stepping on a landmine, not showing off, why do I have to be struck by lightning and drenched in rain? Who did I offend?"

While quickly climbing down the vine, occasionally stopping to adjust his position, Er Dongsheng couldn't help but think about why he was so miserable!

"Others fall and find treasures, jump off a cliff and gain divine inheritance, why am I so unfortunate! I can even encounter the legendary Death Rain while sleeping!"

His complaints were endless, showing his deep resentment!

In fact, the reason the Death Rain appeared this time was because the Death Land appeared at the wrong time, right after the abyss rain season had just ended. A large amount of hot air underground mixed with the water vapor that had seeped into the ground and re-evaporated into the sky, forming rare cumulonimbus clouds in the abyss. Black smoke clouds gathered in the sky above, increasing more and more, and finally, when the cumulonimbus clouds reached their limit, they would burst, and the rain containing intense toxins would pour down!

"Faster, faster, damn, why is it so deep!"

Here, Er Dongsheng didn't dare to open his Flame Demon wings to fly down, as that would make him a live target, and only a fool would do that!

Going down along the vines was the safest way. Since the vines dared to grow into this fissure, it meant that this underground fissure cave was an abandoned lava channel, which was exactly what Er Dongsheng was looking for.

Only the lava-formed rock channels in the Death Land could block the invasion of the Death Rain. After all, these recently formed rocks were...

"Damn, even digging a hole hurts my claws!"

The vine was too slippery, and he lost his grip. In a panic, he stuck his claws into the rock wall, but instead of breaking through, he felt a sharp pain, and the rock wall didn't even scratch!

"Bang!"

He gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, shaking his claws. Er Dongsheng was so frustrated. Was this even rock? Why were things in the Death Land so bizarre!

"Fortunately, there are only a few meters left, or I would have been half-dead!" He muttered, then began to observe the situation underground!

He squinted, always on guard, and his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the depths of the fissure!

This was...

A scene that made his hair stand on end!

"Damn!!!"
