Slime Immortal

"Magic Explosion" Lv.5 gave the gel a powerful explosive force. Nine lava bats exploded on the spot, and only one lava bat was hit by the aftermath of the explosion, half of its body was swept away. It dragged its broken body and fell into the boiling magma wailing, barely escaping with its life.

"Your Majesty is mighty! Haha! Invincible!" Earl Bran circled excitedly in the air and flattered the emperor.

On the battlefield, stone swords danced and cut, explosive bee soldiers fired poisonous stingers and detonated, bee guards made precise blasts and finished off the enemy... A brutal massacre was taking place above the lava well, and lava bats kept falling like dumplings.

Seeing his people suffer such heavy losses, the existence that had been hiding deep in the magma could no longer hold back.

“Ouch——!!!”

Accompanied by a shrill roar filled with rage and destruction, the entire magma pool boiled violently, and a huge shadow suddenly broke through the magma and soared into the sky.

This is a boss bat that is much larger than an ordinary bat.

Its outstretched wings were made entirely of flowing dark red magma, with droplets of scorching fire dripping from the edges. Every flap brought about a scorching storm, raining down fireballs on the front row of rock stingers.

This size... is definitely a silver-level monster.

But this is what Chen Yu was waiting for.

A ball of pure water immediately gathered in front of Chen Yu's chest, stretched into an arrow, and aimed at the boss demon bat that was rushing towards him.

"Boom! Bang!"

The boss demon bat let out a miserable cry, its wings broke off, and its huge body lost balance, like a kite with a broken string, wailing and crashing into the boiling magma pool.

But relying on the ability of magma to regenerate, it recovered completely in just a moment and flew out to provoke again.

But the gushing magma was blocked by Beet's water shield.

"Oh, you still dare to provoke me."

Chen Yu immediately secreted a huge ball of gel that stuck to the stone sword and fired it out.

The boss wanted to spray lava to stop it, but he was so impressed by Chen Yu's sword-wielding skills that he couldn't find the direction. The ball of gel hit his back, instantly causing his magic power to boil.

"boom!!!"

A loud bang echoed in the dungeon dome, and the boss exploded into a rain of lava that fell down with a crackling sound.

The rock shield withstood the aftermath of the explosion and the blast of lava rain. It flickered violently and was covered with cracks, but it ultimately did not break, protecting the army below.

Earl Bran in the air was not so lucky. He was a little closer to the center of the explosion and was hit by a few drops of splashing hot magma. The beautiful feathers on his tail were instantly ignited.

"Gah, ah, ah—this earl is scalded to death!"

Bran screamed and fell headfirst into the hot spring below like a flaming firecracker. With a "hiss", a large amount of white smoke rose up. He then climbed ashore in a panic, flapping his wet and bald tail.

"Oh, why is this earl so unlucky?"

Lord Bran was unlucky, so shouldn't they be extremely lucky next?

Chen Yu's mind moved, and he rode Xiao Ka to the sulfur hill and found a still beating magma heart, which seemed to be the magic organ of the boss demon bat.

Next to it, there was a pitch-black ring, like some kind of magic prop.

Chapter 113 Flame Slime

"Chew, chew, chew..."

Chen Yu swallowed and chewed the bat's heart while it was still hot. The boiling magma neutralized the acid, making a violent "sizzling" sound and sending up large amounts of scorching steam. He squinted his eyes and burped comfortably with a sulfurous smell.

High fire resistance is good.

Eating a piece of lava only feels a little hot.

[Devour and Digestion Level 6 Trigger - Completely Recorded the Characteristics of the Lava Mephit, Gained the Talent: Flame Affinity Level 3]

The gel turned red and warm at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a faint light and heat, as if the entire slime was on fire.

Then it gradually faded and returned to its emerald green color.

Wuhu is another talented person with great potential.

"Fire Affinity" does not have the terrible destructive power, nor does it have the magical properties of other talents.

It has only one effect - providing a bonus to all fire-related talents.

And the effect is quite significant.

Chen Yu touched the boiling hot spring water with his gel-covered little hands. The warm current turned into life energy and gathered in the gel. After a while, it made up for the gel lost in the battle just now.

With the "Fire Affinity" Lv.3 bonus, the effect of "Heat Recovery" is increased by about 30%.

"If I were a demon, wouldn't I take off right away if I had fire affinity?"

It doesn't seem right either.

The demon might not only have "fire affinity", but even have a higher talent level than him.

Chen Yu muttered for a while, then picked up the ring dropped by the boss demon bat and took a look at it.

Hmm…matte black, looks like a very ordinary ring, nothing special.

But the fact that this thing can withstand the high temperature of magma is itself impossible.

Maybe an adventurer challenged the boss demon bat and was killed in one gulp, leaving only this thing.

"Lord Bran, you are knowledgeable. Do you know what kind of magic item this is?"

Earl Bran was busy combing his tail feathers that had been burned bald. When he heard Chen Yu's message, he was overjoyed.

"Hahahaha! Your Majesty, you are too kind. This Earl actually only knows a little bit."

It immediately puffed out its chest, tried to put on the airs of an aristocratic connoisseur, walked forward with a reserved step, tilted its head, almost put its eyes on the ring, and carefully examined every detail.

Lord Bran tapped the ring lightly with the tip of his wing. "Hmm... This style is simple and unpretentious. It is definitely the work of those stubborn dwarves."

"It's made of orichalcum, there's no doubt about that, but strangely, it seems to have been smoked through some unknown process. Orichalcum that can bathe in magma, hmm... this thing doesn't have any magical protection, does it?"

"Your Majesty, it seems you have found a treasure."

Chen Yu swallowed the ring into the gel and felt it, but the ring did not respond whether it was tested with magic or spiritual energy.

"What do you think it does?"

"As for its effects, they're nothing more than common enchantments like boosting intelligence, increasing strength, or charming enemies. When we return to the kingdom, I'll find a knowledgeable wizard to thoroughly examine it, and I'll know for sure."

"Right."

Anyway, his belly is very big, so it doesn't matter if he puts one more ring in it.

So he rode Xiaoka back to the battlefield with peace of mind and reorganized the monster army.

Earl Bran wanted to follow back, but he was missing the crucial tail feathers. As soon as he took off, he flew crookedly in the air like a drunk spinning top. He almost fell into the hot spring several times. It took him a while to master the trick and barely landed back on Xiao Ka's back.

To hide his embarrassment, he cleared his throat pretentiously and quickly unfolded the map to divert his attention.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. We've dealt with the most troublesome enemy in this passage. Now we just need to pass through the thorny Dusk Forest to reach the obsidian mines."

"That place is a little dark and the roads are a little difficult to walk on, but there are almost no deadly monsters. With this... uh, the distinguished Miss Peggy leading the way, passing through the Dusk Forest is not difficult."

"Hum~"

Peggy hummed, still slowly chewing the last piece of obsidian in her mouth.

It seemed to enjoy the name "Miss Peggy" very much. It even lowered its head, rarely doing so, and gently nudged Earl Bran with its huge nose, making a friendly purring sound in its throat, as if inviting the Earl of the kingdom to sit on its broad and comfortable back.

"Hahaha, thank you Miss Peggy. As the Grand Duke of the Kingdom, it is my duty to fight for Your Majesty at the frontier and expand the territory."

Earl Bran suddenly felt that his vanity was satisfied as never before. He was so happy that he flew happily onto Peggy's back.

"For the kingdom! Forward!" Earl Bran flapped his wings with high spirits.

Peggy groaned, took heavy steps, and was the first to step into the dark passage behind the lava well leading to the Dusk Forest.

Xiao Ka followed closely behind with Chen Yu on his back, and behind them was a huge, silent and murderous army of monsters.

Soon, this huge team disappeared at the end of the passage, leaving only a devastated battlefield in the sulfur hot spring area.

Deathly silence once again enveloped the sulfur hot spring area, with only the monotonous sound of the bubbling hot spring water echoing.

I don’t know how long it took, but in the quiet sulfur hot spring area, several sounds came from far away and got closer.

"William, these three fire resistance potions are my most valuable treasures. Please use them sparingly and add them to the team's account when you return. Don't lose a single penny."

"Tok, don't be so stingy. Just imagine how many monsters are waiting for us to hunt in that hot spring. This is an undeveloped treasure land."

"As long as we can hunt twenty, no, fifteen monsters, it will be enough for us to make a fortune. The monsters inside are not worth the same as those outside."

"That Mist Hound's core is the best ingredient for making illusion potions. Even in a place like Ironshoe Town, it can be sold for several gold coins."

"Come on, William, you're already making big promises before you even step inside?" A third younger voice sounded teasingly.

At the edge of the hot spring, a team of three adventurers cautiously poked their heads out.

The leading ranger William uncorked the bottle and drank the expensive red potion.

The other two, the warrior Tok and the young mage apprentice Allen, looked at each other. Although they felt sad, they could only grit their teeth and drink it.

The potion took effect, and a cool, insulating feeling came over my skin.

William placed a white-feathered arrow on his longbow, took a deep breath, and was the first to step into the warm spring water in the shallows.

Feeling the heat that was enough to burn his skin turn into a comfortable warmth, he couldn't suppress the ecstasy on his face.

"Haha, it's done! Tok, Alan, be careful, don't scare away our gold coins." William's voice trembled with excitement.

With dreams of getting rich, excitement and a hint of nervousness in their hearts, the three of them tiptoed into the hot spring area shrouded in thick fog.

But only half an hour had passed.

Three figures emerged from the fog dejectedly, like frost-bitten eggplants.

Their faces were filled with confusion and disbelief, in stark contrast to the excitement they had shown half an hour ago.

"Damn it... I didn't see a single living one." Toke's voice was trembling, and it was unclear whether he was angry or scared.

"William, are you sure your information is correct? This place is even cleaner than a church." Alan's voice was filled with tears. His fire resistance potion was not cheap, and it was wasted like this.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

William scratched his hair in frustration. "Just last week, I saw several Mist Hounds roaming around here, as well as giant hotland mosquitoes and sulfur leeches... How... How come they're all gone?! Not even a hair is left."

He gave the nearby sulfur stone a hard kick.

Tok's face was filled with sadness. "It's over. The monster is gone, the fire resistance potion was wasted, and there are two more big holes in the account..."
