Chapter 59

(First chapter delivered, will try to update three times today)

On this day, Er Dongsheng returned with a pocket full of shellfish. He planned to make a scallop soup to reward himself! Grilled scallops were simply too unpalatable! Boiling them was better, though it required a bit more effort.

He started a fire, placed the shelled scallops in a bamboo section, and set it over the flames to start cooking! Although he had no seasonings, the faint aroma of the clear water boiling the scallops still wafted out, filling the small tent he lived in with a fragrant scent. It was particularly appetizing.

He had built a small treehouse at the edge of the southern forest as a temporary residence.

Suddenly, a small figure flew out from the forest, flapping its tiny wings and staring at Er Dongsheng from a distance! The little nose sniffed the aroma of the scallops, and drool began to drip.

This was the little mermaid he had caught that day. Although he wasn't sure if mermaids could fly, he assumed she was a mermaid, just a special one.

After he released her, this little thing gradually became familiar with him. Whenever Er Dongsheng was about to eat, she would definitely come, but the little one still maintained a certain wariness and didn't dare to get too close to him.

However, when it came to food, she accepted it without any hesitation.

Er Dongsheng shook his head, picked a piece of scallop meat from the bamboo section, placed it on a leaf, and then handed it over! The reason he only gave her one piece wasn't because he was stingy, but because the little thing's stomach was very small, and the scallops were quite plump. Just one piece was enough for her.

Watching the little thing devour the scallop on the leaf, Er Dongsheng's appetite also increased, and he scooped up a large piece of scallop and ate it.

Although there were no seasonings, it still tasted very sweet and fragrant.

After the meal, Er Dongsheng didn't pay attention to where the little thing went. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, pondering his current situation.

The injuries on his body had mostly healed after a few days of rest.

He had almost explored the entire island, except for the eerie paper man area in the north. The island was not dangerous, and with the presence of swamps and dense forests, there was an abundance of edible food! It was a good place to recuperate.

However, Er Dongsheng needed to consider how to return to the surface. He had been here for almost a month, and the little girl at home must be worried sick.

He touched the small artificial pendant on his chest, feeling a sense of warmth. The little girl had made it for him by hand, though it looked somewhat childish and ugly, he still carefully kept it close to his body. Even during the most intense battles, the small pendant remained unharmed.

"How can I get back?" Er Dongsheng rubbed his head, a truly headache-inducing problem. The rock above was too hard, even in his transformed state, he couldn't break through it. Should he return the way he came?

He shook his head, no, he didn't want to face that monstrous giant eye again. It wasn't something a regular demon could handle, and even if Er Dongsheng had advanced to a second-level demon, it would still be a tough challenge.

Based on the information obtained from analyzing the flesh of a second-level demon, he was currently using the Mo Ling Fire as the core to construct his cellular flame core. However, this construction required a large amount of energy. Without the help of a fire element gem, relying solely on his own essence energy was like trying to fill a large bucket with a small cup of water.

Chin in hand, Er Dongsheng fell into deep thought.

Since he couldn't return the way he came, he could only...

...

Mibelle sat on a leaf, her eyes fixed on the strange giant not far away. She felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Not only did the giant not harm her, but he also gave her delicious food, making the little mermaid, who had suddenly found herself stranded here, feel a warmth she had never experienced before.

She stared at him, becoming more and more fascinated, more and more familiar...

"Hey, little thing, why are you staring at me!" Sensing a gaze fixed on him, Er Dongsheng woke from his thoughts and saw the little mermaid staring at him with wide eyes. He asked.

"Yiya ya, ya! (Giant, Mibelle wasn't staring at you!)"

Er Dongsheng suddenly widened his eyes, looking around. There was no one else, only this little thing. Who was speaking?

"Was that you speaking just now?" He asked tentatively. He knew this little thing could understand his Abyssal language, but he never thought...

"Yiya! (It's Mibelle speaking!)" It was still the "yiya" sound, but a clear, bright, and pleasant voice clearly echoed in Er Dongsheng's mind.

The voice was very pleasant!

"Amazing! Is this your ability?"

"Ya! (What ability?)" The little mermaid looked at Er Dongsheng in confusion, not understanding what he was asking.

Forget it, just consider it a natural ability! The Abyss was full of strange and bizarre things. He shouldn't be surprised by such a small matter, it would be embarrassing for a demon!

Then, Er Dongsheng began to slowly inquire about the little one's background and the situation here.

Time passed, and from the little one's mouth, Er Dongsheng gradually learned a lot of useful information.

According to her, she was the descendant of a sea monster. Her clan had lived in this vast ocean since ancient times, and the scattered islands in the sea were their homes.

But was this the sea? Looking at the endless lake outside, who knew! Let's just assume it is.

About ten days ago, a sudden violent tremor caused the calm sea to surge with towering waves. Mibelle said she was playing alone by the shore when she was swept into the sea and drifted unconscious to this uninhabited island! She couldn't find her way home anymore!

According to her, when Er Dongsheng caught her, she was hiding in the mud of the swamp, trying to escape the pursuit of the evil paper men from the north! She didn't know why, but those guys always wanted to catch her and kill her!

"So, you don't know the situation around here either?" She was just a naive young one. Sigh! It looks like he had to rely on himself.

"Ya, ya! (No, Beile doesn't know either!)" The little mermaid, or rather, the little sea monster, was now sitting on Er Dongsheng's shoulder, breathing in the familiar scent, looking very content!

In theory, sea monsters, with their strong mental fortitude, were usually cautious and careful. He didn't know why the little sea monster Mibelle was so close to him!

For some reason, Er Dongsheng also felt a strange sense of joy in his heart. Why? Was it the Mo Ling Fire?

Er Dongsheng didn't understand the reason, nor did he think about it much. His main concern was how to leave this place and return to the surface!

"It seems I need to make a bamboo raft!"

A white shadow flashed by, and Er Dongsheng suddenly narrowed his eyes, stood up, and looked around. They had come after him again!

...

Another day, the little thing came as expected at mealtime, stopping on a nearby leaf and quietly watching Er Dongsheng!

Today, she didn't make her usual "yiya" sounds, which was strangely quiet.

Was she in a bad mood? Er Dongsheng thought, but he didn't understand why! This little thing had brought him a lot of joy during his lonely days.

"Today you're a bit late, little thing!" Er Dongsheng walked over to the little one, picked her up, and placed her on his shoulder.

"Little one, you..." Suddenly, Er Dongsheng's expression changed, his voice paused, and he took a closer look at the little thing on his shoulder. His eyes narrowed, and the Mo Ling Fire in his heart burned quietly, without any agitation!

"Yiya ya (What's wrong?)" A slightly calm voice came, faint and without any emotional波动.

Indeed...

"Ha ha, nothing, little thing, let's eat!"

He reached out and took the little thing from his shoulder, holding her in his hand, and then

Crack!

Blood and limbs scattered.

"Ya!"

A desperate scream echoed, then abruptly stopped!

What happened? What exactly happened?
