Slime Immortal

However, this also allowed him to vaguely touch the third level of Qi training within just half a month.

"The price..."

The price he paid was that his stomach became a bottomless black hole, emptying his wallet.

If I don’t go out to find a job, I’ll probably be out of luck tomorrow.

"Go out and gain experience to make a living, or continue hunting moss monsters?"

He said that controlling two bodies at the same time was like playing a game, and even dual-operation training and hunting was no problem.

However, the slime's reaction is always slower than usual. When dealing with the dangerous swamp forest, it will be eaten as a snack by predators if it is not careful.

And if the triggering conditions of Devouring and Digesting Lv.1 can be met, there may be hope of nurturing new talents today.

Of course, he definitely wasn't craving the Moss Monster's crispy and chewy sea cucumber-like texture, or the sweet and juicy chicken flavor of steamed chicken...

The more I think about it, the more I get greedy.

Chen Yu wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth imperceptibly.

He made a hasty decision.

Let’s continue dealing with the moss monster today.

Chen Yu touched his warm belly, found a comfortable position and lay down on the creaking wooden bed, his consciousness completely immersed in the slime's body.

Under the mud of the swamp forest, he blinked his round eyes.

These small eyes have a field of view of nearly 360 degrees. They can see the slowly wriggling muddy mud in front of them, and can also clearly see the inside of their own transparent gel body.

In the gel, the moss monster had been completely digested, leaving only the flying sword lying quietly inside.

After confirming that there was no movement above, he was about to gurgle and climb out of the mud, but unexpectedly, there was an abnormal stirring sound from the mud below. A big slime squeezed through the mud and swallowed him into its stomach.

Chen Yu watched himself being wrapped in fluorescent gel and gradually sinking without struggling.

It just gurgled and spit out bubbles, as if it was sighing.

Chapter 2 Status of Forests

This is Slime Mom.

They probably thought he was a naughty child who ran away from home and were about to take him back to their nest.

Chen Yu floated in the gel, his vision following the slime mother as she dived down and into the soft soil. He saw a white, fat little bug wriggling in the soil.

It looks delicious, but it is actually a good friend of slime.

This is the larva of the swamp worm, and along with the slime, it is the lowest level monster in this swamp forest.

When they are young, they hide deep underground in a safe place, silently absorbing nutrients from the soil to survive.

Only when they reach adulthood will they venture out of the ground to nibble on the more nutritious rotten leaves and humus to complete their mission of mating and reproduction.

Swamp worms are considered the friendliest monsters in this forest. Some of them even feed on slime excrement and will actively help clean up slime nests.

She can be called a good babysitter in the monster world.

What made Chen Yu feel a little regretful was that this low-level monster was the same as ordinary slime, with no racial talents and tasted like snot.

Otherwise he wouldn't mind having some delicious food with his friends.

Speaking of racial talents,

Most slimes are only the size of dewdrops when they are young, and only grow to the size of a human head when they grow up. They are magical monsters that can thrive by absorbing only sunlight and swamp water.

The difference of his slime body is that he has the talent of "devouring and digesting" - which allows him to eat like hunting monsters.

Paji...

Under Chen Yu's gaze, the slime mother crawled into an underground nest, and did not forget to secrete gel from her body to seal the hole to prevent mud from flowing back in.

The interior of the slime's nest is supported by tree roots and mucus. The space is not large, less than one cubic meter, but as his warm little home in this dangerous world, it is enough to make people feel at ease.

With a pop, he was squeezed out of the body, rolled a few times and fell into the grass nest that emitted fluorescent light.

A closer look revealed that these tiny, softly fluorescent creatures were none other than young slimes. Upon noticing Chen Yu's return, they immediately rushed over excitedly, enthusiastically clinging to him and jumping about.

Slimes have no vocal organs, but the pheromones they transmit to each other are the most primitive language.

At this moment, Chen Yu felt as if a group of cheering little fellows surrounded him, chirping and calling him brother, brother...

very noisy.

Chen Yu thought.

Actually, his slime body was born from the same litter as these little ones, but he grew faster. When other slimes were only as big as a thumb, he was almost as big as an adult's fist.

Maybe it has something to do with him being a meat-eating slime?

"But I wasn't planning on going hunting."

Chen Yu tried to squeeze these little guys away and jumped out of the nest.

A few little ones were crushed and squeezed into his gel body, still blinking their innocent green eyes.

The little ones around thought Chen Yu was playing with them, so they jumped even more happily.

His actions were seen by the slime mother, who always had ways to deal with naughty children.

The slime mother jumped into the grass nest, pressed all the little ones including Chen Yu under her body, and squeezed them into her gel body.

Chen Yu was floating in the gel, unable to move. He blinked his eyes and saw some relatively viscous green liquid flowing inside the gel.

This slime liquid is rich in nutrients, similar to mammalian milk, which allows small slimes to grow rapidly after absorption.

He grew up by sucking slime liquid when he was born.

However, as the little slime sucked, the mother slime shrank visibly. She only stayed in the nest for a while before going out to look for food.

Chen Yu took this opportunity to jump out of the grass nest and prepare to leave the nest.

A few naughty little slimes wanted to follow, but their jumps were not even as high as the grass nest.

"Um……"

Chen Yu thought silently in his jelly head that the world outside was much more dangerous than he had imagined, and he didn't know how many of these little guys could survive and grow up.

The magical world is always shrouded in a magnificent and magical veil in human imagination - the shock of a giant dragon spreading its wings and flying over, the miracle of magical light tearing through the night sky, and the heroic epics that are sung repeatedly around the village campfire.

However, for the weak slime crawling in the mud, the truth of this world is only cold and biting, like mud that has never been exposed to the sun.

Every time you go out, you may become food for the moss monster, or disappear silently under the gaze of even more terrifying monsters.

The fate of these slimes is like the moss mats growing in the swamp forest. They try hard to grow but cannot survive a winter. They are born to become food for other monsters.

"..."

His thoughts drifted further and further away, and when Chen Yu came to his senses, he felt a little hungry and was thinking about the delicious moss monster in the morning.

He is also a slime, yes.

But the fate of a slime that can cultivate immortality is destined to be different.

At least when it comes to eating, I never treat my stomach badly.

Hungry? Not happening.

He squeezed out of the gel hole, slowly climbed out of the mud, and returned to the surface world.

A pair of round eyes cautiously poked out of the mire and looked around.

The world in his eyes was made up of towering trees and thick miasma. The forest was filled with the strong smell of rotten wood and humus. The light was blocked by layers of huge leaves and vines, making it extremely dim.

The slime's lair was hidden deep beneath the roots of the moss-covered, mountain-sized, brown tree in front of him.

But compared to underground, the surface is obviously more vibrant.

The slippery and muddy surface was steaming with water vapor, and some larger mud worms were slowly wriggling, gnawing on the wet and blackened fallen leaves.

The thick layer of moss covering the tree roots and rocks is like a sticky blanket, and the moss monster is hidden in it, and its perfect camouflage on its back makes it difficult to detect.

Chen Yu was not in a hurry to leave the quagmire immediately. His eyes were still fixed on the endless mosses, quietly trying to find traces of the moss monster.

The only threat a moss monster poses is the acid it secretes from its mouthparts.

Chen Yu saw with his own eyes that the acid dripped onto the ground and corroded a big hole in the stone.

The corrosiveness is terrifyingly high!

Monsters are monsters, even decomposers have the ability to kill.

Of course, this does not include harmless monsters like slimes.

If we have to assign an ecological niche to slimes, they are not decomposers, but only the lowest level of food - the humus layer or a piece of grass.

This kind of creature may even suddenly appear in large numbers when there is sufficient water vapor, and no monster knows how they are born.

Just like the fresh and juicy green grass on the ground, it will cover the ground after a rain.

The acid of the moss monster is very scary. If you act rashly, you will easily be attacked by the moss monster. His small body cannot withstand it.

Besides, the moss monster is just a low-level monster in this swamp forest.

A slime dared to leave its nest openly to look for food. He thought that predators flying in the sky and running on the ground would not mind having a good meal.

And in the eyes of these monsters, slime seems delicious?

At least judging from the moss monster's strong desire to attack the slime, there is no doubt that it is delicious.

"But they probably couldn't have imagined that a tiny swamp forest could welcome a slime traveler with a one in a hundred billion chance."

Thinking of this, Chen Yu silently squeezed out the toothpick flying sword and lay in wait for the opportunity.

The shadow of the sun gradually moved, and it was noon. Moss monsters were active on the mossy ground from time to time - secreting acid to eat wood and soil, or fighting and mating to reproduce.

Chen Yu could clearly see the green smoke emitted by the acid in the mud.

When he felt he had mastered the location of all the moss monsters, he quietly swam to the tree roots closest to the mud.

There are three lone moss monsters here. As long as he acts quickly enough, it will be no problem to take care of one or two of them.

Chen Yu swam very slowly, and the moss monster on the tree roots did not notice his approach.

When he was less than half a meter away from the nearest moss monster, the toothpick flying sword stuck in the gel trembled and flew out.
