Slime Immortal.

Chapter 23 The Eve of the Rainstorm
"Mr. Envoy, something terrible has happened."

"I found it in the woods, I found it..."

Sergash trotted back, panting.

When she returned to the camp and explained something to him, Chen Yu finally understood why she was so panicked.

"You mean to say that there's a lot of abnormal magic in the forest?"

"Well, those magical powers gathered together like mist, attracting many monsters."

"I'm worried... there might be a magical riot in a few days."

"Like the rainstorm before?"

Chen Yu tried hard to put on a serious expression while looking at the gel.

He knew that it was no ordinary rainstorm. If it happened again, all the monsters in the forest would probably come out in droves.

Speaking of heavy rain, Sergash's face became obviously more nervous.

"If it weren't for that rainstorm, I wouldn't have lost my staff."

"Sir Messenger, what should we do?"

"Leave here, leave the swamp forest."

He is a swamp monster, so even if a magic riot really happens, he can just hide in the slime nest.

No, Sergash would be in greater danger if she stayed in the forest.

Once the rainstorm comes, the camp will be washed away by the manic monsters without a trace left, let alone her.

She must be sent away from the swamp forest.

The matter of building the territory can only be postponed for a while.

However, he had originally wanted to go out to the swamp to take a look, so he took this opportunity to open up a forest road connecting the territory with the outside of the swamp, which would make it convenient to travel back and forth in the future.

"Leave here?"

Sergash knew that he would have to leave the swamp sooner or later, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon.

She wasn't as happy as she thought.

But the messenger was right, it was time for her to leave the swamp.

Maybe her sister is still outside anxiously looking for her.

"I understand. Let's go now."

"Wrong, I'm going with you."

"Hey, Messenger, are you going out too?"

Segash sounded stunned.

Chen Yu shook the gel and nodded.

"I plan to open a forest trail leading outside so that it will be convenient for me to go out in the future."

"If you wish to return, follow the stinging bees of the forest, and they will guide you back here."

To open up a forest road, we naturally have to fight our way out and force the neighbors in the swamp to move out.

Those who refuse to move will be beaten a few more times.

Then he sent stinging bees to run back and forth on the forest path, driving away monsters and approaching demihumans, and protecting the forest path.

He had already thought of a name for Lin Dao, which was "Shunfeng".

"Segash, check the equipment. It will take several days to explore."

"Well, I'll go now."

Sergash ran back to the shelter and took out all the wooden-bladed blowguns hidden under the bed.

When she came back, she saw a column of stinger bees lined up in front of Chen Yu, like soldiers being inspected, with their heads held high and chests puffed out, obeying orders.

Seems even more professional than the tribe's hunting team...

She could already imagine the hunting party being chased by stinging bees.

Just thinking about it scares the Lizardman.

"Segash, you lead the way."

"okay."

She carefully picked up the slime and walked back the way she came.

In order to better command the bee colony, Chen Yu also brought out the queen bee and stuck her in the slime gel, with only her head sticking out.

The queen bee is smarter than the average stinger bee, but her IQ is only equivalent to that of a three-year-old child.

Chen Yu had a brain-burning conversation with it before it understood and nodded, dividing the swarm into three columns in front and on the left and right, closely protecting Segash.

Wherever they passed, the monsters either hid in the swamp or fled in all directions.

Moreover, the pheromones left by the stinging bees seemed to scare these monsters. Even though they had walked far away, they did not dare to set foot on the forest path.

It was also the first time for Sergash to see such a big scene. When she first arrived, she was still being chased by monsters.

This scene was something she had never dared to imagine before.

It’s great to be able to follow the envoy.

It didn't feel like exploration; it felt more like strolling around. I passed by a hollow, twisted oak tree.

"My Lord Messenger, I remember there was a terrible poisonous swamp frog hiding in there..."

Before she could finish her words, a small arrow shot out, instantly blowing away the swamp poison frog hiding under the tree.

"Good, now it's gone."

"keep going."

Sergash swallowed back the words he was about to say.

In fact, she had been bullied by this swamp poison frog several times when she passed by here before...

Fortunately, I didn’t say it just now, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

The pioneering team advanced all the way, and Chen Yu didn't know how far he had walked. However, the monsters were well fed, and their proficiency in toxin resistance continued to increase.

It gets dark early in the swamp forest, so they returned to the camp to rest in the afternoon and did not set out again until the next morning.

With the stinging bee following him, Chen Yu didn't need to take action himself when encountering most monsters. As soon as he got close, he would be stung to death by the stinger and the monsters would go into his stomach.

After a lot of hard work, before even leaving the swamp, the talents and skills on the panel had undergone a major upgrade.

[Swallowing and Digesting Level 2 → Swallowing and Digesting Level 3]

[Acid Secretion Level 2 → Acid Secretion Level 3]

[Tough Shell Lv.1 → Tough Shell Lv.2]

[Small Archery Level 1 → Small Archery Level 2]

……

The third day of exploration.

Chen Yu and his friends encountered some minor troubles.

The abnormal magic power expanded faster than they imagined, and even covered the opened forest path.

Even before the rainstorm came, the monsters in the forest were as restless as ants on a hot pan.

There are too many monsters affected by magic, and they keep crashing into the stinger bee array.

Can't finish it, can't finish it at all.

Chen Yu was so full that he started to become picky about food.

"Rumble..."

Today the sky is overcast, there are faint flashes of thunder, and it is drizzling.

It was estimated that heavy rain would come in a day or two, and Chen Yu was sure that they could not turn back.

We can only keep moving forward and leave the swamp forest before the rainstorm falls.

The good news was that they were very close to the edge of the forest. The number of monsters was gradually decreasing, but there were more signs of demihuman activities.

In the dark swamp forest, with drizzling rain, Sergash crept low and carefully climbed over the fallen oak tree. He saw the familiar sign carved on the tree and immediately realized that they had reached the edge of the swamp.

"Your Excellency the Envoy, we are here."

Chen Yu was distractedly reading the talisman book given by Shao Qingsong. When he heard Sergash's words, he blinked in her arms and came back to his senses.

"How many stinger bees are left?"

The magic riot affects all monsters with magic organs, and the stinging bee is of course no exception.

The Queen Bee is intelligent and knows the dangers of magical riots, but she occasionally appears a little irritable.

But the same cannot be said for those stinger bee soldiers, who may escape the queen bee's control, get lost in the abnormal magic, and never get out.

Along the way, Chen Yu lost a lot of bee soldiers.

"Thirteen left."

It was okay, more than he thought.

"Sir Messenger, this is our tribe's hunting grounds. There may be corrupted lizardmen wandering around here."

The magic riot represents danger but also opportunity for the surrounding demihumans.

If you are careful enough, you can catch enough food to last you a month.

Therefore, the more the magic riots, the more corrupted lizardmen will linger around.

"Let's find a place to hide first and wait until the rainstorm passes."

"Well, when the hunting team spends the night in the wild, they will hide in the shelter built by the tribe. It's very dry inside, which should be enough for us to survive the heavy rain."

"I know an abandoned one nearby."

Segash groped his way forward, walking very carefully.

But soon her expression turned surprised.

Chen Yu noticed that something was wrong with her.

"what happened?"

"There's a smell of blood here. It's human."
