Slime Immortal

At this moment, young Allen recalled the strangeness in the hot spring area and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Something's wrong, run! This place must have been swept by an extremely terrifying demonic tide, and they've eaten up everything here!"

William and Tok followed his finger and instantly felt their hair stand on end. They had been so focused on finding the monsters that they only now noticed these shocking traces of battle. When combined with the strange emptiness of the hot spring area...

"Damn it! Go away!" William no longer dared to dream of getting rich, and roared in fear.

The three of them were like being chased by hellhounds. They rolled and crawled, running desperately in the direction they came from without looking back, fearing that if they were a step slower, they would be caught up by the unknown and terrifying demonic tide and become the next "buffet".

Chapter 114 So many gravel crystals!

"Gu~gu~"

Deep in the twilight forest, in dim light, an owl stood on a branch emitting a faint fluorescent light. Its little head turned flexibly, relying on its dark vision to search for possible prey below.

But soon a dull and continuous vibration suddenly broke the silence of the forest.

In the owl's field of vision, the outline of a huge monster broke in violently. It ignored the sharp thorns that could pierce leather armor, and turned a blind eye to the tall trees. Wherever it passed, the thick tree trunks groaned under the weight and collapsed.

"Gu——!"

The owl flapped its wings in panic and flew away. The next second after it escaped, the tree where it had been living was knocked down by the giant beast, and then it was chewed up and swallowed by the big mouth that seemed to be able to swallow everything.

On Peggy's broad back, Earl Bran was standing with his hands on his hips and his head held high, imagining himself as a majestic captain, steering a huge ship through the stormy waves. Even if the ship was shaking, he could maintain the confidence that he was in control of everything.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the end of the forest is just ahead!" Earl Bran shouted back.

A ball of small slime split from Chen Yu's main body, bouncing flexibly, and jumped onto Peggy's back in a few jumps.

"Peggy, stop and rest."

"Hmph~"

Peggy obediently let out a long nasal sound, stopped in a rare open space in the forest, and slowly crouched down with her huge body.

The exhausted monster army was finally able to rest, and they all stopped, making a low humming sound.

Lord Bran unfolded the battered map and reported to the little slime beside him, "Your Majesty, the outskirts of the obsidian mine are not far ahead. What should we do now?"

Its small eyes gleamed with eagerness, and the tips of its wings pointed at the location of the mining area on the map. "How about we just charge over there? And wipe out the lair of those green-skinned dwarves?"

As it spoke this, there was a hint of excitement in its voice, filled with visions of conquest, fiefdoms, plump bugs, and shining treasures.

The little slime shook with a "snap".

"Can't beat it."

With the current size of the monster army, it's okay to bully the scouts who come to explore, but if the goblins are really angered and the main force of the legion moves eastward, he will probably have to move now.

The scale is not on the same level.

Unless you can create a "Goblin Ripper".

However, above this obsidian mine is the Stonebreak Pass, which means they are not far from the Rootwhispering Forest.

As long as we can understand the geographical environment here and find a suitable opportunity, it will not be difficult to bring Arthur back.

Now, he has more important things to do - to build an obsidian outpost in this hidden forest, to monitor the movements of the goblins at all times... and secretly dig some precious gravel crystals.

hey-hey……

He was short of gravel crystals, very short of them.

And it must be of high quality to be used as the core of the "Goblin Ripper".

This means that he has to mine secretly under the goblins' noses and cannot be discovered.

He needed some skilled and efficient miners.

"Miners, well, this dungeon has plenty of them."

The little slime plopped over to Lord Bran and patted its wings with its little gel hands.

"Lord Bran, the kingdom needs gravel crystals, lots and lots of them, and we have to dig them out quietly under the goblins' noses."

Lord Bran scratched his head in confusion. "That stuff is so gray, only some wizards like it. Is Your Majesty planning to open an alchemy workshop to make magic dust and trade it with humans?"

"You'll know later." Chen Yu blinked and kept it a secret.

"I have an important task for you. Lead the Bee Guards out of the Duskwood and help me capture a few Earthworms. The more the better."

Seeing His Majesty's mysterious look, Earl Bran felt itchy, but he was very happy to dig earthworms.

"Haha, leave it to this Earl!"

Catching insects is its strong point.

It dared to say that no monster in the entire kingdom could catch insects better than it.

Lord Bran led the Bee Guards away, while Chen Yu guarded the base and prepared to build the Obsidian Outpost.

Of course, before construction began, he had to make sure the place would not be disturbed by goblins.

"Pah, pah."

The little fat boy and his nanny brothers were broken apart and fell out of him again.

The next one to appear is the stealth-specialized Fatty equipped with "Stealth" and "Evaporation Illusion".

The color of its body seems to blend more naturally into the shadows of the environment, and there are faint signs of water vapor rising from its surface.

The nanny brothers put the little fat boy, whose belly was full of stone swords, on his head and dived into the thorn bush with a "pa ji pa ji".

They will sneak into the obsidian mine through the nearest passage and enter the Goblin Legion base to collect intelligence.

This action is dangerous enough, and perhaps they will never come back.

……

“Pah-chi-pah-chi…”

In the empty and dark underground passage, the elastic sound gently echoed among the rock walls.

"Ok?"

Two well-equipped goblins patrolling with torches immediately stopped vigilantly. The one-eyed goblin held up the torch high, and the dim light swept across the rough rock walls and gravel on the ground.

"Did you hear that? Just now...something seemed to be making a noise?"

"I think you've been driven crazy by those slaves."

Another goblin muttered impatiently, "Haven't those troublemakers who dared to resist been hung up and flogged into obedience? Relax, buddy, this is our territory."

After saying that, he pushed his companions and continued to move forward.

The one-eyed goblin glanced around suspiciously again, but found nothing unusual, so he followed cursing.

Shortly after their footsteps faded away, the rock wall on one side of the passage, which had been in normal condition, dissolved silently like mist blown away by the wind, revealing the little fat boy and the nanny brothers clinging to it.

I didn't expect that the talent "Evaporating Illusion" would be so effective in stealth.

Chen Yu immediately gained a lot of confidence in the infiltration operation, and controlled the two brothers to continue moving along the passage.

“Pah-chi-pah-chi…”

The nanny brothers carried the fat boy on their backs and nimbly moved out of the passage, instantly disappearing into a thick shadow cast by a huge stone pillar.

"Ah! Kukaru... (Is it time for the shift change?)"

"Jigu! (Not yet, stand guard!)"

Ahead, a hideous fortress built of rough obsidian stood on the west side of the huge rock hall.

A dozen goblin warriors were walking back and forth and talking behind the parapet, with bows and slings within reach. They glanced vigilantly at the ground below, as if they would draw their bows and shoot arrows or throw stones at the slightest movement.

The little fat boy maintained the illusion, perfectly simulating the appearance of the rough rock wall behind him, even the light and shadow were realistic.

The nanny brothers stuck close to the little fat boy and slowly crawled forward in the shadows under the fortress wall.

Chen Yu guessed that the real obsidian mining area was behind this small fortress, so the security was so strict.

But fortunately, the Goblin Legion did not seem to have considered that enemies would sneak in from the east. There was not even a reconnaissance magic circle here, and the two little guys easily slipped under the fortress wall.

Then they used illusions and shadows to sneak to the heavy gate of the fortress without any danger. When the guard turned around, they slipped into the gap of the door like two slippery loaches.

In an instant, a noisy heat wave mixed with the smell of sweat, sulfur and the sound of metal knocking hit us in the face.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding! Ding-ding-ding-ding!"

The dense and harsh sound of metal knocking came one after another, as if it would never stop.

"Hurry up and work! You lazy maggots, do you want to taste the whip?"

The goblin overseers' sharp curses and the "snap" of whips were heard continuously.

The two little guys looked up, and their vision suddenly became clear, and a huge underground world appeared before them.

On the distant rock wall, there are densely packed simple wooden scaffolding and lifting platforms.

Humans in tattered clothes and with dull eyes, dwarves with muscular bodies but wearing heavy shackles, and even some other skinny humanoid races were hunched over, using simple tools to vigorously chisel the rough ore exposed on the rock wall.

The heavy ore was loaded into backpacks or hand-pushed mine carts, and then carried by these slaves with great difficulty, disappearing into the entrance of the fortress passage deeper on the other side of the rock hall.

On the other side of the mining area are a large number of low, dense, simple huts built of black stone, and slave concentration camps surrounded by rough wooden fences, which are filled with more numb figures waiting to "go to work" or "rest."

Chen Yu was still looking around curiously when his eyes were suddenly attracted by a piece of ore scattered next to the waste pile and he could no longer look away.

Gray gravel crystal!

And it was a piece of gray gravel crystal ore as big as a palm!

It just fell so casually next to a pile of rubble and slag, which made Chen Yu feel heartbroken.

Damn goblin.

How dare you treat his ore like this?

Chapter 115: The Talisman Factory Concept

[Devour and Digestion Level 6 Triggered - Completely Recorded Earthworm Characteristics, Gained Talent: Accelerated Digging Level 3]

In order to ensure sufficient concealment, Chen Yu plans to build the Obsidian Outpost underground.

In the Twilight Forest, a dozen or so beetles that had just acquired the talent of "accelerated digging" were like being given a shot of chicken blood, transforming into efficient underground drilling machines and digging frantically.
