(Second update! Working on the third update! Thanks to the book friend Hengjian Xiaoyue for the tip, hehe, thanks! Sixue requests a recommendation and a collection!)
What on earth happened?
Er Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a strong sense of doubt, his heart suddenly tightening. The camp seemed to have been suddenly abandoned, with all the demons vanishing without a trace, leaving Er Dongsheng at a loss!
He strode towards the fairy queen's residence, no longer bothering to hide, flying rapidly and recklessly, reaching the fairies' territory in just a few minutes.
"Sure enough, no one here either!"
Observing the fairies' camp, it was just as empty, with no sign of anyone. A faint light illuminated the surrounding trees, casting a dim, flickering shadow. Under a mysterious, cold breeze, the shadows seemed to transform into numerous ghastly ghostly figures!
Even though he was a demon, he couldn't help but feel a chill!
Although Er Dongsheng had expected this, he still couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment. He gently pushed open a vine-covered house and walked in.
The things inside the house were untouched, clean and tidy, as if the owner had just been sleeping there a moment ago. Picking up a wooden artifact, he caressed it with his hand, and a fine layer of dust stuck to his claws.
"It seems this place has been empty for quite some time!" Putting down the item, Er Dongsheng checked a few other vine-covered houses, finding the same situation. The items were undisturbed, but the demons who lived there had long since vanished.
There were no signs of a struggle, no signs of packing, and all the creatures seemed to have vanished without a trace, leaving no clues behind.
Er Dongsheng, with growing doubt, approached the largest building. This was the fairy queen's residence, which he had once observed from a distance.
Hesitating for a moment, he carefully listened to the surroundings, sensing no danger, and finally pushed the door open.
Tables, chairs, and various small decorations were scattered around. A fur blanket was half-rolled on the bed, as if the fairy queen had just left.
After a thorough inspection, Er Dongsheng still found nothing unusual. Everything seemed normal, showing no signs of anything out of the ordinary!
But this was precisely the most abnormal thing! He couldn't believe that the demons would disappear without a trace, leaving no information behind! Could they really have vanished into thin air?
He searched the room more carefully, then suddenly sniffed the air, his gaze fixed on the floor of the wooden house!
"This is... blood!"
Demons in the Abyss were extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, no matter how long it had been!
Using his claws to brush away the dust on the floor, deep red blood-written Abyssal script appeared. The writing was very messy, as if written in a hurry.
"Be careful... die... underground... save..." The writing was unclear, and Er Dongsheng quickly blew away the surrounding dust, revealing claw marks on the ground, as if the words were written in a struggle. The Abyssal script was not very coherent or correct!
These were definitely written by the fairy queen, as only second-level demons could roughly use Abyssal script, thanks to the knowledge granted by the Heavenly Dao when they ascended to the second level. Although Er Dongsheng was not controlled by the Abyssal will and ascended to demon status on his own, his system had devoured a fragment of the Abyssal will, which contained a lot of knowledge, including Abyssal script!
If a demon's level was not high enough and had not learned Abyssal script, they would only be able to speak Abyssal language but not recognize or write it!
Just like ordinary people in ancient times, they could speak Chinese but not recognize any characters.
"So, be careful... of what? The succubus queen?"
"Underground... die? What does that mean?"
"Save? How could she know someone would come here and see this, and how to save?"
Er Dongsheng looked at the crooked Abyssal script and smiled bitterly. There was too little information to understand what the fairy queen was trying to say!
However, one thing was certain: something significant must have happened here recently, trapping the second-level demon fairy queen and preventing her from escaping!
So, what exactly happened?
Squatting on the ground, Er Dongsheng slowly fell into deep thought.
Crack!
There was a slight movement outside the door!
Someone?
Er Dongsheng quietly approached the door crack and looked out.
A fairy swayed from not far away, walking unsteadily, and suddenly stopped in the middle of the path, squatting down!
Crack, crack! Crunch, crunch!
It seemed to be eating something?
Why would a fairy suddenly appear? Things were getting stranger.
After a while, the fairy continued to squat with her back to Er Dongsheng, doing something, occasionally making crunching sounds.
"Seems no danger?" he muttered to himself, and Er Dongsheng walked out of the room, intending to ask this suddenly appearing fairy what had happened here! Although the sudden appearance of a fairy was strange, he carefully sensed and felt no danger warning.
Thump, thump, thump!
Er Dongsheng deliberately made some noise with his feet to attract the attention of the fairy facing away from him.
Crunch, crunch, the fairy continued to squat, seemingly busy with something, and the sound suggested she was really eating something?
Something was off! Her reaction was too abnormal!
Er Dongsheng carefully circled around to the side, preparing to see this strange fairy face-to-face. In the dim light, Er Dongsheng finally saw the fairy clearly!
"This is!!!"
Er Dongsheng's eyes contracted sharply, as if he had seen something incredibly shocking!
The fairy was gnawing on her own arm, her head lowered, tearing off pieces of flesh and stuffing them into her mouth. Strangely, no blood flowed from the wound!
His scalp tingled, and he felt a chill down his spine. What on earth had happened here? What was wrong with this fairy?
Crack, crack!
As if just noticing Er Dongsheng, the strange fairy wobbled to her feet. Her entire arm had been gnawed away, revealing a black-patterned bone.
Her bloodshot, unfocused eyes scanned the surroundings, and her blood-soaked nose sniffed the air, trying to locate Er Dongsheng.
Then...
"Roar!!"
A loud, ear-splitting scream erupted from the fairy's beautiful, pale face, as if a wild beast was about to burst out of her body!
Crack, crack!
An even more intense sound came from the fairy's body, and Er Dongsheng witnessed a scene he would never forget!
"What the hell is this thing?"
