Slime Immortal.

Chapter 31 A novel taste

Reed river bank.

Clear and cold icy water flows down from the towering snow-capped mountains, merges into rivers and rushes southward, nourishing countless creatures in the surrounding area.

It was a sunny day today, and the bass were splashing in the water, occasionally throwing crystal water droplets into the air, reflecting colorful and dazzling spots of light.

Near the Reed River, some lizardmen from the Rotten Moss Tribe were hiding from the hungry giant bears, diving into the water with harpoons in hand, looking for any fish or water lizards.

On the riverside path, Sergash hummed a song, followed his sister with a clay pot on his head, and his tail swung behind him. She seemed to be in a good mood at the moment.

Her eyes swept across the clean river bank, and were suddenly attracted by a shiny object lying on the shore. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she trotted over to pick up the crystal and wiped it on her clothes.

It was another piece of gray gravel, and it was even bigger than the one she picked up last time.

If the envoy saw this, he would definitely be very happy.

"Segash..."

Semia, who was on patrol, noticed the change in the footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw her running to pick up those strange stones again.

"Do you like this gray stone?"

Facing his tall sister, Sergash nodded guiltily.

Semia just glanced at the gravel crystal and didn't say anything.

"Let's go. The Rot Moss Tribe is willing to hold a shamanic ceremony for you. You should prepare as soon as possible."

Sergash hummed, his face hesitant.

"Sister, is Futai really willing to accept us?"

Semia stopped and looked at the bustling tribal gathering place in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

"In the swamp world, the strong prey on the weak, and lizardmen ultimately respect the strong."

"As long as I'm here, they'll always welcome us. Don't overthink it."

"Okay." Sergash looked at her back and felt as relieved as ever.

Just like before, nothing is a problem as long as my sister is around.

Of course, she now has someone else to rely on.

I don’t know what the envoy is doing.

Did you eat breakfast on time?

The next time I go back, it will definitely be shocked when it sees such a big gray gravel crystal, and then shout that Sergash is so powerful or something like that.

With beautiful fantasies in mind, Segash left along the river path, his figure obscured by the lush, drooping treetops.

……

"Squeaky..."

In the dark swamp, Chen Yu was enjoying today's breakfast - a fluorescent mushroom man that was eyeing him.

In fact, the taste of monsters like fluorescent mushroom people is very ordinary. They taste like rubber with a faint mushroom flavor. The gel cannot be squeezed out and can only be digested by acid.

But if you can cut it into slices with a knife, put it on a stone slab and fry it in butter until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it should have a unique flavor.

Unfortunately, since he has no hands, he can only think about it.

He began to miss Sergash and her grilling skills.

[Pulling and Digesting Lv.3 Triggered - Fluorescent Fungus-Man Characteristics Recorded, Talents in Development (7/10)]

Chen Yu lay motionless in the dark swamp mud, waiting for the mushrooms in his stomach to be digested.

During this period, his round eyes did not forget to peek into the darker swamp world.

He saw a flying mosquito the size of a fist passing by with an irritating buzzing sound, its slender limbs drooping and its belly bulging as if it was full of blood.

The mosquito did not notice the slime hiding in the mud.

It suddenly felt a strong wind coming at it, and it couldn't even dodge instinctively. It was blown to the ground by the small arrow, with blood splattering everywhere and limbs falling to the ground.

Chen Yu jumped over and swallowed the remaining body of the flying mosquito. The moment the acid penetrated the flying mosquito's flesh, he felt a sour and smelly smell in his stomach.

It tastes like taking off a girl's sweaty, smelly socks that she's worn for a long time and soaking them in water. "Ptooey, what a disgusting thing."

If it weren't for the purpose of acquiring talent, he really wouldn't want to eat this thing, it's smelly and sour.

The acid in his stomach was churning. After the food inside was almost digested, Chen Yu continued to explore deeper.

If you ask him if there is a destination for this exploration.

The dark shadow covered by thick fog in his sight was the destination of this trip.

This dark shadow looked nothing like the oak tree shadows he had seen on his way. It was square and more like some kind of building standing in the swamp.

He no longer knew what kind of creature could have left behind structures in the dangerous swamp.

But since there are ruins, there should be treasures or something like that.

It doesn’t matter if there is no sword in the treasure chest, there will always be gems.

With inexplicable expectations, Chen Yu felt like a seasoned adventurer, going deep into the dangerous swamp alone, exploring the treasures and mysteries left on this land.

"set off!"

Chen Yu jumped forward, but his excitement didn't last long before he was blocked by a thick leech that looked like a snake.

This giant-veined leech is simply a larger version of a small leech, except that it has two fluorescent eye spots in front of its body.

It climbed on the slippery oak tree, raised its head and looked at Chen Yu, as if judging whether he was edible.

"This is a bronze-level monster, right?"

To be honest, the giant vein leech is much larger than the average black iron-level monster.

Chen Yu had no doubt that if such a huge leech crawled on a bison, it would probably suck all the blood out of the bison's body.

And this thing seems to have strong regenerative ability.

I don't know if I can withstand his small arrow technique.

He and the giant vein leech just stared at each other quietly. The leech with poor eyesight seemed to finally recognize his identity - a seemingly ordinary slime.

Slime?
This thing is all water, without any blood.

The calories consumed are not as high as the calories consumed by hunting.

It just doesn't like to eat this stuff.

The giant leech suddenly lost interest in hunting and lay back on the oak tree, lazily waiting for the next prey to arrive.

As for this slime, it was just a weak monster and it had no intention of paying any attention.

Chen Yu suddenly felt curious.

It turns out there are monsters in this swamp that don't eat slimes.

But it's pitch black here, and it seems that no slime is willing to come to such a place.

Seeing that the giant leech on the tree was completely defenseless, Chen Yu decided to test the waters with a small arrow.

He silently recited the method in his heart, and a water arrow quickly condensed and stretched, pointing at the giant vein leech lying on the tree.

【Small Archery】

“Swoosh—bang!”

The powerful water arrow penetrated the soft and thick body of the giant leech in almost an instant and hit the bark underneath.

The giant-veined leech fell from the tree in pain and thrashed and rolled wildly in the swamp.

However, the bowl-sized wound did not seem to cause serious harm to it. In just a few seconds, the flesh and blood at the wound fused together, leaving no scar.

"What an amazing recovery ability."

Chen Yu's eyes glowed slightly in the darkness.

What does this mean? This giant vein leech must have special demonic talents.

It is worthy of being a bronze-level monster.
