======The fourth rose, now.

There was a dark green monster.

An Zhe squatted down to look at it.

It was dying. There were three bowl-sized bloody holes in its abdomen and a thick, black liquid was flowing out. The skin composed of thin scales and the protruding thorns and pimps on its body undulated weakly. Four of the five eyes were compound eyes, covered with an ominous white glaze. The fifth was rightly closed. The compound eyes on the back were dim.

It was hard to see a critically wounded and dying monster in the abyss. This meant it had just barely won in a fight and the bloody breath hadn’t yet been discovered by other hunters.

It wasn’t very big and was as long as a newborn human baby. Of course, this didn’t mean that it was always this long when alive. It was because polymorphic monsters in the Abyss could freely transform between forms. Polly said that under the former theoretical system, it was unbelievable. It was because some materials disappeared out of tin air while some materials appeared out of thin air. However, if it was explained using the fluctuations and frequencies then this switch of form was just a change in frequency. It was easy to do.

Now, it might be in this state when dying because it wanted to die in this form. This might be its original form or its favourite form.

An Zhe touched the head lightly with mycelium but there was no reaction.

“It’s dying.” He frowned as he looked at the monster.

Lu Feng said only one thing from beside him. “It’s raining.”

An Zhe raised his head. The sky was covered with clouds and there was a ‘patter’ as the rain fell between the trees, branches and leaves to splash on the ground. The next second, another drop fell on the monster’s wound. It twitched for a while, seeming to feel pain.

The summer rain came quickly. Just a few seconds later, dense raindrops hit the leaves like drums. Lu Feng covered An Zhe’s shoulders and head with his uniform coat. An Zhe stated, “When I came here, there seemed to be a cave nearby.”

He grabbed Lu Feng’s hand and stood up, hesitating for a few seconds. Finally, he picked up the small monster that was trembling with pain and went to the hill nearby.

“The form isn’t quite right.” Lu Feng said.

An Zhe didn’t feel it. There were many such landforms in the Abyss.

The cave entrance was there, a deep opening among the tangled vines.
