Finally, the performance during the third river period is very important, recommend and collect for Sisnow! I'm so foolish!)

"Lord Baal, Lord Baal, come quickly, something's wrong!"

Seeing Er Dongsheng return, the sisters Hilde and Jie quickly came forward to greet him.

"The vines have a problem!" Without waiting for Er Dongsheng to ask, the impatient Hilde spoke, a look of worry on her delicate face. The vines were crucial for the fairies' future food supply, so they couldn't help but be anxious!

"Phew!"

Taking a deep breath, Er Dongsheng's heart, which had been racing, calmed down. He had thought they might have been attacked, but now it seemed...

His expression changed. The vines have a problem? They were growing well just a few days ago. Why did they suddenly have a problem? That doesn't make sense!

"Let's go and take a look!" Indeed, large-scale cultivation of edible plants in the Abyss was not a simple matter. Problems arose not long after the experiment began.

A few of them hurried to the fairies' cave.

Several fairies, including Lulu and Beier, were already waiting there! The sisters Hilde and Jie had originally gone to Er Dongsheng's cave to find him, but unfortunately, they couldn't find him, so they called Lulu and Beier over as well! Even Sibia came along!

"Brother, you're back!"

"Ya ya yi yi!" Standing on Lulu's shoulder, Beier waved her little hands, pouting, a bit unhappy. She was probably upset that Er Dongsheng went out alone without her! This little one could be quite clingy sometimes.

Walking in, he examined the dozen or so vines on the ground. Each was over a meter tall and as thick as two fingers, intertwined with each other. However, these once vigorous vines now drooped, bent over, looking half-dead!

Frowning, what's going on?

"Have you changed the soil for them?" Squatting down, he grabbed a handful of the soil and examined it. It was black and fertile, with various ashes still present. The soil was moist and rich, and it didn't seem to lack nutrients! But Er Dongsheng still asked, just to be sure, to see if the soil was the issue!

"We have, Lord. To maintain the growth of these vines, we add the ashes and other things you mentioned at regular intervals," because it was cold winter outside, they could only grow the vines in the cave. To ensure good experimental results, Er Dongsheng had ordered them to change the soil for the vines at regular intervals to prevent the nutrients from running out!

If it's not the soil, could it be pests? But there were no visible pests, and the plants in the Abyss were quite strong, so ordinary pests couldn't harm them!

"What do your senses tell you?" At this point, he could only ask the fairies, known as agricultural experts! Fairies with strong natural talents could vaguely sense the emotions of plants, but he wasn't sure if they could do it.

"Feel? No!" The fairies looked at each other, having tried many times, but they were still powerless with these strong vines.

"We can't either, Lord!" The sisters Hilde and Jie also shook their heads with a bitter smile. This sensing ability was related to innate talent, not to one's strength!

Sigh, as expected!

Shaking his head in disappointment, it seemed this idea wouldn't work!

"Um, Brother, Little Ears says she can sense the emotions of these plants!" Lulu suddenly said from the side!

"Who can sense them? Little Ears?" Who is this person with such a name?

"Um, it's Shimir!" The little girl pushed and pulled, bringing out her little follower who had been hiding behind her.

"Oh, it's Shimir!" Er Dongsheng realized, but this "Little Ears"? Do fairies have small ears?

Embarrassed

"Come, little one, tell me. It's okay, even if you're wrong!" Er Dongsheng beckoned, calling the timid little fairy over. To the fairies, Er Dongsheng was both a savior and a terrifying demon lord, and every fairy both admired and feared him! Especially the little fairy Shimir, who often played with the little succubus, would tremble in fear whenever she saw the widely feared demon lord!

For the first time, he carefully examined this mutated little fairy. Her appearance was like a porcelain doll, even more delicate than the mischievous little succubus, and her ears were indeed much smaller than those of ordinary fairies, no wonder the little succubus called her "Little Ears"!

"Ba... Baal L... Lord... Shimir can vaguely feel that these vines are saying they're very hungry!" The mutated little fairy stammered, head down, not daring to look directly at Er Dongsheng!

His eyebrows furrowed. The soil was fine, so what's going on?

"Very hungry? Are you sure?" Er Dongsheng's voice unconsciously rose a bit, with a hint of authority! This wasn't the time for these little ones to play around; he needed to confirm it seriously!

"Y... Yes!" The little fairy's voice was already trembling, with a hint of a sob.

"Alright, you did well this time. You can go now!" Supporting his chin with one hand, Er Dongsheng waved, lost in thought.

The little fairy Shimir also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly hiding behind the little succubus, but Er Dongsheng's praise made countless fairies envy and hate her!

"Hungry? Why would they be hungry? What's the key here?" If he didn't figure this out, they would face more problems when trying to grow food on a large scale!

Sigh! So many things to deal with, he had already planned to leave...

"Fine, let's put the food plan on hold. After this massive blizzard, the weather seems to be warming up. It looks like the cold winter is ending, and I have more important things for you to do then!" If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. He needed to focus on the present!

This cold winter didn't last long, just a few months! Compared to the years-long winters of old, it was pitifully short! Er Dongsheng and his group still had plenty of food left, enough for the next plan!

"Lord, can you reveal what it is? We need to prepare!" Xiwel steeled herself to ask this question. She had to, as she was not only Er Dongsheng's subordinate but also the leader of her clan. For the sake of her clan, she needed to know Er Dongsheng's plans in advance!

Of course, whether to tell her or not was up to Er Dongsheng's mood!

"Relocation, moving!" The words that made countless Abyssal creatures tremble came from his mouth!

"What? How is that possible!" Numerous exclamations of shock followed, then silence.

Even the little succubus and the others were shocked with their mouths wide open. Only Beier was an exception; in her little mind, wherever Er Dongsheng was, there was food, and that was her home! Or rather, Er Dongsheng himself was her home!

"Yes, moving!"

Ignoring the exclamations around him, Er Dongsheng stood at the cave entrance, looking into the distance. To the east of the distant forest, the snow-covered wasteland seemed to be in complete silence, and the towering crater of the Death Volcano showed no signs of eruption! To the north of the forest, a sinister aura seemed to be spreading, and even from such a distance, he could still feel a massive sense of death, even more intense than the wasteland!

His intuition in his mind kept urging him to leave quickly!

The cold winter was ending, and a storm was coming. It was time to prepare to leave!

This was just the calm before the storm!
