Chapter 81

In fact, although there were many of these vines, digging them up was very laborious. The underground root system was extensive, with one root after another entangled together, densely packed. To extract a specific vine, ordinary abyssal creatures were at a loss!

Their strength was too weak; only a Level 1 demon could possess such great strength.

Hilje and her sister's hands glowed with black light, and the aura of the abyss emanated from their bodies. Their auras mysteriously connected, and they struggled to control a few vine roots, slowly separating them from the vast underground root network! This was not easy; controlling mature plants was different from nurturing plants grown from seeds! Even a Level 1 demon needed two people working together to accomplish this!

These mature plants naturally resisted the control of fairies, and making the roots perform the desired actions was extremely difficult!

Hilje and her sister understood that this might be a future food source for their kind, so they worked hard to harvest the vines! Creatures in the abyss were exceptionally obsessed with food!

During this time, following Erdongsheng, the sisters and the other fairies gained a lot of knowledge. Many foods that they thought were inedible, such as scorpions, centipedes, and various poisonous insects, became high-quality dishes in Erdongsheng's hands! The taste was so good that the sisters still savored it!

There were also many other things, like the small succubus's toys, bed, and table, which were said to be made by Lord Baal. The small succubus was usually very stingy, hiding these things well and not letting anyone use them!

And the endless variety of foods, which dazzled the neighbors. Unfortunately, only Bére and Lulu could enjoy such food treatment, and even the small imp Sibia, who was the first to follow Erdongsheng, could only enjoy the leftovers!

However, this made the small imp very happy. At least he was still in his master's eyes, which was better than those fairies! After the beautiful fairies arrived, he was very worried for a long time, fearing he would lose his usefulness!

But the little girl Ximier was quite good, successfully hooking up with the small succubus and occasionally enjoying some of the food the small succubus left for her!

Actually, the small succubus was very smart, with a keen mind that could clearly sense the emotional fluctuations of everyone. She knew who was good to her and who had ill intentions. Choosing Ximier as her follower had its reasons; the little girl had many of her own plans!

After a while, Erdongsheng looked up at the sky. Dark clouds were gathering again, and the wind was starting to blow. It wouldn't be long before another massive and prolonged blizzard arrived!

"Ah, I wonder how long this cold winter will last!" He sighed in his heart. He was almost sick of this snowy weather! Every day he was listless, like hibernating! Sometimes he thought the lava caves of the Death Volcano were actually quite nostalgic!

If there were no dangers, it would be a decent place to live! Of course, living in a volcano was something only a peculiar demon like him could think of! Others would avoid it at all costs!

"Today is enough. The blizzard is coming. Clean up and get ready to leave!"

"Alright, you little girls! Stop playing and let's go!" He said to Lulu, Bére, and Ximier, who were still enthusiastically playing their poisonous insect game. These little girls had completely gone wild on this trip!

...

The blizzard in the abyss came suddenly, giving no time to react. Just as they reached the cave entrance, a fierce wind and snowstorm suddenly hit!

"Whoosh!"

They blocked the cave entrance with the new door and all took a deep breath! It was good they made it back in time! Traveling in such a severe blizzard was no joke!

The new door was made of vines wrapped around a large rock, which not only effectively prevented heat loss but also allowed for good ventilation. This showed that taking in these fairies was a good decision! Now his cave was covered with vines, and he no longer had to worry about dampness!

"Listen to me, sort these vine roots into groups to avoid confusion. Take advantage of the freshness of the new material and start the experiments quickly!" Erdongsheng directed everyone to quickly sort and place the collected vines. Little Lulu found it interesting and pulled Ximier to join in!

As for little Bére, she had already run to their dedicated treasure room, grabbed a fire element crystal, and was flying around happily, licking it!

She was just a little foodie!

"This one, this one, yes, and here, cut them all!"

"Don't mix them up. Place the cut pieces next to their respective vines!"

"Yes, that's right! Let's continue!"

...

Amid the chaotic instructions, Erdongsheng and the others finally completed the sorting and cutting! Next, it was time to get to the main point!

The experiment! To accurately identify which vines were edible! First, use the vine roots to test for edible starch, which was the most important. Other tests could be done afterward!

So, what should they do?

Erdongsheng brought many wooden buckets filled with water. Water was not lacking now; a few fireballs and the area was full of puddles!

First, process the vine roots! Erdongsheng chose a vine with a relatively thick root, cut off a small piece, and thought that a larger root would likely store starch!

"Watch my actions, ha ha, everyone will try later, and we'll see who has the best luck and finds the usable plant first!"

After digging up the root, Erdongsheng washed off the mud and sand, peeled off the outer layer of rough skin, soaked it in clear water from a nearby bucket, cut it into small pieces, and placed it in a wooden trough to crush it. He then used a mortar to further crush it, separating the fibers from the possible starch. These tools were made by Erdongsheng based on his past memories; they were not beautiful but were practical and sturdy!

Next, he put the root residue and clear water into a filtering bucket, blocked the filter outlet, and poured in an appropriate amount of water, stirring it with a wooden stick. Finally, he opened the filter outlet, and the slightly turbid water flowed out. After filtering it a second time, the first step was complete!

"After 12 hours of settling, pour off the clear water on top and remove the impurities from the surface and bottom of the bucket. If it contains starch, the starch will settle in the middle, clear and pure. Understand?"

"Understood!" Although they didn't know what starch was, they could just follow the steps!

"Nan nan!" The small succubus was already eagerly choosing her favorite vine roots!

"Yi yi ya ya!" Bére, holding the gemstone, flew over.

"..."

What do you have to do with this?!

She always joined in the fun!
