Villain Rescue System - Chapter 188

Li was silent for a moment, and then said, “Yes.”

Wen Long looked at him helplessly.

In fact, she felt that what the strange person said did not sound very credible.

It was not that she thought he was lying, it was just that after getting along with him those past few days, she felt that this person seemed abnormal…

“Are you human?”

“No.”

“Is it convenient to tell me your race?”

Li fell silent again.

He didn’t want to say it, so Wen Long naturally wouldn’t force him.

She was only surprised by his physical fitness, so she made that guess… After all, climbing down to the abyss three times was difficult even for the top rock climbers among human beings.

In the few days since Li came to the abyss, she had never seen him eat.

The only human-like thing he had done was probably washing off the mud on his body in the stream two days ago.

Now except for the clothes that looked a little tattered, his overall appearance was still a bit human.

It was already dark.

Wen Long glanced at the sky and said, “It’s probably going to rain tonight.”

Li looked at her, there was no light in his dark eyes.

It looked like he didn’t understand what she was talking about.

Wen Long wanted to laugh a little.

It was really easy to understand…

“It’s different from ordinary rain. The rain in the abyss carries energy.”

She reminded him softly, “Remember to find a good place to shelter from the rain at night.”

“…”

“Thank you.”

Wen Long said, “Sir, didn’t you have a good strategy before you came to the abyss?”

“…Yes.”

Li’s expression was a little stiff.

“Thank you,” he said again.

A smile floated in Wen Long’s eyes.

She thought he was funny.

    …

In the evening, it did rain as Wen Long said.

Li searched around, but failed to find a cave to hide from the rain on the cliff.

He finally found a big tree with extremely lush branches and leaves that were airtight, enough for him to last a night.

The demonic energy in the rain filled the air, making him a little uncomfortable.

But he didn’t expect that it was just the beginning.

It was raining heavily, and the crackling sound made his ears hurt when it fell.

Li stood under the tree, barely avoiding it for the first two hours. But in the middle of the night, the rain still had no intention of stopping.

The slender stream couldn’t hold the rainwater, so it gradually overflowed to the side.

It didn’t take long for a thin layer of water to accumulate under Li’s feet.

The energy in the water adhered to the skin, causing a strong burning sensation.

He looked around, and there was one or two centimeters of water in the surrounding open space. In a short while, it spread even higher.

There was nowhere to hide.

When the water reached his ankles, he finally decided not to sit still.

Li looked up.

The branches of that tree were thick enough.

It was a good height to go up.

It took Li a minute to go up.

The monster living on the tree found that its territory had been invaded, flapped its wings a few times, and pressed its claws and beak on him.

So he was pecked down repeatedly in just a few seconds.

“…”

Li couldn’t use his divine power, so he couldn’t fight back.

No matter how powerful the body he built for himself was, it was strengthened on the basis of human beings. It was impossible to deal with abyssal monsters.

It was impossible to go down.

The demonic energy in the water penetrated into the skin, and about half of his body would be crippled by the next day.

Going up…  

There was no need to think about it.

Li could only compromise.

He hugged the tree trunk, did not go up in the territory of the monster, and did not touch the water on the ground.

The only flaw was that it looked embarrassing.

He had never been in such a state before.

His pants were just wet when they were on the ground, and the muddy water stained the pants that had just been washed the day before.

The coat was white… A few holes appeared when he climbed the tree, and he couldn’t even see it.

He silently climbed up another few tens of centimeters.

She was right. He should have read about the place before coming.

Li’s attention was all on the tree, most of his sight was blocked.

He didn’t notice a bright light in the distance, and it was getting closer to him.

He didn’t realize it until the light shone on him, completely revealing his embarrassment.

“Sir?”

“…”

Li recognized whose voice it was, and unconsciously exerted a little force on the arm holding the tree trunk.

He somehow didn’t want to bow his head.

The person below called out again.

He finally turned his head.

Wen Long held up a big umbrella, which was the leaves of some kind of plant, and the remaining hand held a flashlight only used in the human world.

She was a little surprised, probably by his embarrassed state.

Li lowered his eyelids.

“Why did you find a place like this to shelter from the rain?”

Li didn’t make a sound.

He couldn’t find a cave, and he didn’t know where to go… 

Wen Long thought for a while, then hooked her fingertips with her palm facing down.

The stagnant water under the tree flowed to the surroundings in an instant, exposing the underground land.

“Come down.”

Li let go and landed.

Wen Long glanced at his clothes, which was a mess.

“Stay in the cave where I live today.” She spread her wings, then continued, “The road is a little far away, it will be faster if I take you there.”

Li subconsciously glanced at her newly healed wound.

He looked away quickly.

“…I’ll just walk.”

Wen Long was slightly taken aback, and put away her wings after a while.
