(First update of the day, thank you to the book friends Yexing, Qiming Nanshi, and Langzi Tianxing for their generous donations. Today, there will be three updates. I humbly request your recommendations, Three Rivers, and collections. Thank you!)

Slowly soaring higher and higher, they eventually left... ...

They planned to fly north along the mountain range. No matter what, before leaving, he intended to secretly investigate the current situation of the trading camp! Even if it was dangerous, he had to take a look; otherwise, leaving without knowing what was happening would leave him feeling unsatisfied!

Like a defeated dog!

The hot air balloon rose higher and higher, finally stabilizing at an altitude of four to five hundred meters. Looking down from such a height, the countless small mountains had shrunk to tiny dots. At this height, even flying-type demons found it hard to reach! Apart from the howling wind in his ears, everything else was blurry.

At this height, only the towering mountain peaks still emitted some light; no other light could reach here. The sky above, beyond the height of all the mountains, was pitch black, dark and eerie! The light from the ground seemed unable to reach there! It was like an ancient, silent area, devoid of light and heat! Even more silent than the land of death!

"Looks like we should avoid flying too high in the future. Otherwise, in the dark sky, we won't be able to tell which direction we're going!" Er Dongsheng suddenly sighed.

Now, the wind in the abyss was blowing northwest along the mountain range. Er Dongsheng steered the wind sail and began to drift northward, not very fast, with an initial speed of about ten to fifteen meters per second, similar to a six or seven-level wind speed!

"Ya ya yi!" Brie wriggled out of Er Dongsheng's arms, poking her head out to look at the shrinking view below, her little face full of curiosity! She had never flown this high before.

"Ya ya!" She jumped onto Er Dongsheng's shoulder, happily waving her little arms, completely different from her drowsy state of the past few days, bouncing and jumping to vent her excitement!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Er Dongsheng quickly grabbed the little thing's fish tail. Although the wind speed wasn't much for him, it was quite strong for the little sea sprite. A slight slip of her little hands, and she would have 'floated' away. Fortunately, Er Dongsheng reacted quickly; otherwise, he would have had to fly out to catch her!

With such a strong wind, she would be gone in a blink.

"Go away, don't cause trouble, come back quickly!" He tapped the little thing's forehead, scolding the little sea sprite with a stern face.

"Ya ya!" She bit down hard on Er Dongsheng's finger, baring her teeth and snarling!

Brie refused to let go, biting you, biting you, biting you to death! Hmph!

"..."

He stuffed her back into his arms, out of sight, out of mind!

The balloon slowly flew, and Er Dongsheng estimated that it would take about two to three days to reach the trading camp. Then he could investigate the situation there!

"Phew"

He took a deep breath, exhaling a puff of white vapor. It was still a bit cold at this high altitude. After securing the wind sail, he let the hot air balloon follow the predetermined path and turned back to the tree house.

The journey in the sky was incredibly boring, but relatively safe at this height. Demons couldn't reach here, and large abyssal birds, facing Er Dongsheng's demon aura, dared not attack! For the past few days, they had been eating, sleeping, or playing the frustrating game of Gomoku! He regretted inventing this game!

He wanted to practice, but the hot air balloon swayed, making it impossible to focus. He had no choice but to play along with the little girl and the others!

Three days passed in a flash!

Er Dongsheng's hot air balloon had almost reached the camp. From a distance, the outline of the camp was vaguely visible.

After moving forward a bit more, the scenery around the camp gradually became clear.

Er Dongsheng stood on the platform, removing the wind sail. The wind speed was very low, and without the wind sail to control and accelerate, the hot air balloon almost hovered in the sky! From the ground, it looked like a tiny black dot!

At this height, he was confident that no demon in the camp could attack here, even the succubus queen he was worried about.

"Alright, you stay here, I'll go down and take a look! I'll be back soon," Er Dongsheng instructed everyone, reaching into his arms to pull out the little sea sprite.

"You're not allowed to go either, it's dangerous down there! I might not be able to take care of you!"

"Ya ya!" She bared her teeth, wrinkling her nose, as if to say she was very strong!

"No, you absolutely can't go this time!"

"Ya ya ya!"

"..."

He spread his massive fiery demon wings and slowly approached the trading camp. The closer he got to his destination, the more cautious he became, and the colder the feeling grew! This cold was different from the cold of winter; it was a bone-chilling cold from the depths of his soul!

Deep to the bone!

Gradually approaching the trading camp, Er Dongsheng gradually showed a hint of confusion. Why was it so quiet? Even in the midst of battle, it shouldn't be this quiet. With the nature of demons, they were not the type to remain silent! Even in war, it should be like a noisy market!

How strange! Could they all be resting?

Er Dongsheng raised his alertness, crouching on a huge abyssal tree, quietly observing the trading camp ahead. But after waiting for a long time, he saw no sign of any demons! Not even a living creature!

What's going on?

What happened inside?

Why hasn't anything moved?

Are they all dead?!

...

"Waiting like this won't work; I have to sneak in and take a look!" Er Dongsheng originally wanted to capture a wise species to ask about the situation in the camp, but he didn't even encounter two people!

He had to abandon this relatively safe plan and choose to take the risk and enter!

It was the darkest time in the abyss, equivalent to night in his previous life, which should be a good time to sneak in!

Er Dongsheng crouched, hunched over, and quietly moved forward! He stealthily advanced in the shadows!

From the entrance of the trading camp to the center of the road, he cautiously moved forward, but it seemed all these actions were in vain. He didn't encounter any of the imagined scenarios, no battles, no demons, not even any living creatures. The surrounding houses were also empty, as if they had been abandoned!

Slowly approaching the center of the camp, this was the trading square! It was here that Er Dongsheng killed the troll Sura, causing a huge stir among the demons!

"This is...?"

The usually bustling trading square was now completely silent! Countless furs, food, and animal bones were scattered on the ground, the spoiled food emitting a foul odor! Mixed with snow, it looked particularly disgusting!

What happened?

Where are the abyssal beings? Where are the demons?

Why is the trading camp in such a state of chaos?
