Chapter 83

(Third update! First, I would like to thank the reader 131229110930328 for the tip, and I also request recommendations, collections, and support for Sixue Dengsanjiang! I hope the review will pass. Sixue is just a newcomer, and everything is a challenge, sigh!)

A ghastly pale face appeared in Xiao Bei's eyes! It flashed and disappeared! Neither Erl Dongsheng nor Xiao Bei noticed it!

When an object moves at an extremely high speed, it may leave an image in your eyes, but you won't feel it at all!

This is why no one noticed anything!

"Ghost?"

"No, it should be called a malevolent spirit!" Erl Dongsheng's face turned grim. Even in the Abyss, the term "malevolent spirit" is taboo. The malevolent spirits in the Abyss are not the ghosts of other planes but a special kind of demon!

In the Abyss, the origin of malevolent spirits is unknown. It is only known that the first large-scale appearance of this demon species in the Abyss was during the ancient times when the Demon Lord Lilith ruled. At that time, these demons became the epitome of the most evil and chaotic, and there were even rumors that they almost destroyed the entire Abyss!

But didn't these demons ultimately perish at the hands of Demon Lord Lilith? Why are they appearing here again?

Erl Dongsheng stared at the wooden bucket not far away. Is it related to what's in the bucket?

He kept thinking but couldn't figure it out! For such a legendary thing, he didn't know what to do!

"Damn, I didn't expect to be targeted by such a legendary thing!"

"But, hum! With the Mo Ling Fire, if you dare to come again, I'll give you a lesson you'll never forget!" He secretly resolved to ignore it for now!

If the enemy doesn't move, I won't either. Let's see what you can do!

"Alright, nothing to worry about, let's continue!" Erl Dongsheng called out to the few people around him and started working again!

...

Now, they have six buckets in front of them. One bucket's water is pitch black, and four have formed white granules! There's still one more...

Erl Dongsheng helplessly looked at Xiao Bei, who was sitting by the bucket. This little girl insisted on bringing her small bucket over! According to her, hers is also completely qualified! Why should there be discrimination?

But, can that black mess, full of various roots and leaves, be considered qualified? At the time, Erl Dongsheng was just playing with her, and he didn't know what she put in it.

Fine, let's consider hers qualified too!

Allowed to participate!

First, he needed to taste the white crystalline substances, as they looked more like starch! With the system monitoring, Erl Dongsheng could clearly distinguish whether what he was eating was food, but he didn't dare to taste too much. Even with his high resistance, he couldn't withstand large-scale toxicity.

He used a small wooden spoon to pick up a bit of the crystal and put it in his mouth. At that moment, he felt like the Abyss version of Shen Nong tasting a hundred herbs!

The wind is bleak, the water is cold, the brave man goes forth, and does not return...

Spit, spit, who curses themselves!

Hmm, not bad, he nodded in a show of seriousness...

It's a toxin, no doubt!

Damn!

He quickly spat it out, his tongue still numb and a bit painful!

"Nan, brother, rinse your mouth!" The little girl had already prepared, as she had accompanied Erl Dongsheng in tasting many things before, just helping by passing water!

"Swish!"

A large mouthful of water went down, and his mouth felt a bit better. He circulated his qi and blood to expel the remaining toxins!

After a while, Erl Dongsheng felt it was almost done and began the next test! Fortunately, there wasn't much left, or it would have cost him his life!

Each test was his most painful time! The Abyss system had made him do this many times!

The second one was also a toxin, even more potent than the first, causing him to hold his tongue and grimace for a long time! Even the circulation of his qi and blood was hindered! You can imagine how strong that toxin was!

But it seems he won't die!

The third one was slightly sweet, with no toxins! Unfortunately, the system told Erl Dongsheng that this thing was useless, with no nutritional value at all!

Damn! Continue!

The fourth one, the last white substance! Erl Dongsheng had no hope for the final result of this experiment. There were still two left, one pitch black and the other a mess of everything! How could he still have hope!

No point in saying it, just tears!

He gently took out some of the powder, which shimmered with a crystalline luster in the firelight, dazzlingly bright.

"Looks good!" Erl Dongsheng commented, taking a bit and slowly putting it in his mouth.

He waited a moment.

No toxins, hmm, not bad! It seemed to have a slight odd smell? Continue! This time, he took more and put it in his mouth!

Suddenly, a strange taste spread throughout Erl Dongsheng's mouth, rushing to his seven orifices!

Spit, spit, bang!

Damn! What is this taste? It's more disgusting than the feces of someone who hasn't had a bowel movement for three or four months!

Damn!

Erl Dongsheng's face was a picture of woe as he kept rinsing his mouth, but he couldn't get rid of that disgusting taste! How can I eat dinner? Depressing!

Lulu and the others watched Erl Dongsheng's changing expressions with curiosity, not quite understanding what had happened!

He picked up a bit of the fourth white substance and passed it to everyone, sharing the joy. Let everyone share!

"Come, taste it, it's not toxic! The taste is a bit special, quite interesting! I think you'll like it!" This guy was deviously cunning, ready to deceive demons to their death.

Curiosity killed the cat, although they all knew the taste probably wasn't good, they couldn't resist the curiosity and took a bit, putting it in their mouths, and then, nothing happened...

Only a bunch of people gagging!

Forget it, one more bucket to go! No, two more! The bitter life must continue.

...

The last bucket, Erl Dongsheng fished out a black substance, pitch black, looking really bad!

He took a bit and put it in his mouth, slowly chewing, and a smile slowly appeared on his expressionless face!

"Ha ha, slightly sweet, the energy it contains is not high, but it's not insignificant! This is just a rough processing!"

"Yes, this is it, non-toxic and containing energy, although I don't know what it is, it can definitely serve as food!" Erl Dongsheng jumped up in joy, all the time and effort he had invested finally paid off!

"Come, come, taste it, this is it, our main food in the future!" Erl Dongsheng excitedly passed the black substance to them, but...

"Nan, nan!" Lulu didn't see anything.

"Ya, ya!" Xiao Bei pointed to the flame crystal in her mouth, indicating she had no room to eat.

"..."

Erl Dongsheng was at a loss. These two little ones had learned their lesson and wouldn't be fooled again! But this time, he wasn't lying!

"Xilie, you try it!" Erl Dongsheng reluctantly threw the black substance to the two sisters.

The sisters exchanged a helpless glance and, with great courage, swallowed the pitch-black substance.

Lulu and the others dared to refuse Erl Dongsheng, but they didn't!

As they chewed, both sisters simultaneously showed signs of joy. This thing was definitely excellent food! Based on their centuries of experience, this unknown food was definitely top-notch! It tasted good, sweet, and contained a lot of energy!

"Sir, this... this..." They were almost overwhelmed by the sudden joy, stammering and at a loss!

They had never held out hope, but now hope had come knocking!

"Nan, nan," what's going on?

"Ya, ya," Xiao Bei was right, they must have been fooled again!

...

(Just like the title of this chapter, I am also waiting for the results, full of hardships. Is this how all newcomers go through it?)
