Slime Immortal

After Arno finished packing, he drank the beer in the cup, nodded slightly to everyone in the tavern, and then turned around and walked out of the door of the Wild Boar Tavern with steady steps under the gaze of countless people.

The door closed behind him, isolating the commotion inside. But the storm he stirred up had only just begun.

"'Miracle' Arno is going to the Gray Mist Lake Dungeon to look for legendary treasures!"

"He's recruiting players! He's even paying for drinks at the Wild Boar Tavern tonight!"

"The target of the Rusty Key bounty has arrived!"

The news was like a stone thrown into a stagnant pond, instantly causing an uproar in the ruins of the outpost camp.

The adventurers rushed to tell each other and talked about it.

Greed, curiosity, gloating...all kinds of emotions spread throughout the camp, and countless eyes were cast towards the Gray Mist Lake.

Deep in the camp, in a narrow dark alley filled with debris and emitting a rotten smell.

Two figures that almost merged into the shadows were talking in low voices. They were the two Rusty Key Thieves who had attacked Arno before.

"Tsk, I didn't expect this kid to dare to come back and cause such a big commotion."

"Graymist Lake Dungeon? Legendary treasure? Haha, that sounds pretty convincing."

Another thief responded, "It's just a bluff, or... an attempt to lure the snake out of its hole."

"Unfortunately, he is too stupid. Exposing himself to everyone will only lead to his death faster."

"Whatever his purpose is."

The first thief licked his lips, his eyes flashing with greed and cruelty. "He came to us on his own, which saved us the trouble of looking for him everywhere. Last time he got away, this time... hmph."

"Don't be careless. The other 'locksmiths' in the guild must have heard about this."

"Right! Hurry up!" The first thief's eyes were stern. "Everyone wants to take a bite of this fat sheep. If you go too late, there won't even be any bones left."

The two looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and disappeared silently into the depths of the alley.

And in every corner of the camp - the back door of the noisy tavern, the dark mercenary gathering point, and even the door of the Rusty Key Guild's inconspicuous contact point, similar conversations and actions are taking place simultaneously.

Greedy adventurers, mercenaries smelling blood, and more Rusted Key members attracted by the bounty, all began to gather towards the Gray Mist Lake dungeon like hyenas smelling carrion.

A storm is quietly turning towards the underground maze shrouded in thick fog and full of dangers.

And at the heart of the storm, the "miracle" Arno, who seemed to have put himself in danger, was on his way to Gray Mist Lake.

Not only did he not take the opportunity to run away, he was even in the mood to feed the little slime in his arms.

Chapter 79 This Curse Is Awesome

The path leading to Gray Mist Lake was obscured by dense tree canopy, the light was dim, and the air was filled with the smell of water vapor and rotting plants.

Arno's footsteps made a rustling sound as they stepped on the wet fallen leaves. In this uneasy environment, his expression was calm.

He even had the leisure to gently move the breastplate to ensure that the young boss inside was sitting more comfortably.

"Boss, it seems like there are a lot of people following me all the way."

Compared to the tension in the tavern, Arno felt much more relaxed after leaving Rusty Key's territory.

And this time the boss was with him, and when he saw the dangerous swamp next to him, it was like seeing home.

It's like walking in your own back garden.

"Chew, chew, chew..."

"Well, they're just a bunch of hyenas who came here on the scent. I'll prepare a surprise gift package for them when we get to the dungeon entrance. Now... I'll just treat it as a dog walk."

Even though they were the only two walking on this road, there were actually dozens of well-equipped stinger bee guards hiding in the swamp forest.

Ordinary adventurer teams would not dare to provoke him easily, so it is enough to protect Arno's safety.

After finishing the last piece of dessert, he reminded:

"There are three adventurers hiding behind a rock ahead. They're probably coming for you..."

The words have not yet fallen.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Three figures with obvious murderous intent suddenly rushed out from the bushes and boulders in front, blocking the way.

Orcs, rangers, and thieves, a standard robbery combination.

Arno paused, feeling a little nervous, and gripped his old knight sword tightly.

"'Miracle' Arno? It really came without any effort!"

The orc grinned and slowly approached.

Chen Yu felt a little bored.

The big fish with the rusty key hasn't been caught yet, but only small shrimps keep jumping up.

"Arno, let them keep the purse."

Arno cleared his throat and said calmly, following his boss' instructions:

"Everyone, please leave your wallets behind and leave immediately. It will be better for everyone."

There was a brief silence followed by a burst of shrill laughter.

"Hahaha! Hand over your purse? I still want your life in exchange for the bounty of the rusty key!" The ranger laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

"Do it!" the thief growled, and his figure blurred in an instant.

【sneak】

The orc roared, and the huge battle axe came down on his head with a fierce wind. At the same time, the ranger's arrow flew off the string and hit Arno's knee directly.

too fast!

Cooperation is tacit!

Arno's pupils suddenly shrank, and his instinct made him raise his sword to block the giant axe.

"clang--!"

The heavy force of the sword and axe clashing still made Arno's arm slightly numb, his knuckles hurt, and he took half a step back.

This orc's brute force is indeed considerable.

Even a warrior like him couldn't resist it.

Just as he slightly adjusted his center of gravity, the cold murderous intent behind him arrived as expected.

The thief's dagger was like a scorpion's stinger, pointing straight at the back.

[Petrochemical]

"clang!"

A crisp sound like hitting granite was heard.

The thief's grim smile instantly turned into astonishment. He felt that what he had stabbed was not flesh, but a hard, cold rock.

The huge recoil force caused severe pain in his wrist and the dagger almost slipped out of his hand.

Arno was breathing slightly, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

Is this what it feels like to control a curse...

It's so wonderful.

"Damn it! He has a magic scroll that's instant-cast, I can't break his defense!"

The thief screamed in horror, his voice changing in pitch, and quickly retreated to create distance.

"Roar!"

Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the orc became even more furious and swung his axe again. The ranger also put on the second arrow, looking for the "flaw" in Arno with a look of fear and doubt.

"Do you need help?"

Chen Yu twisted his chubby little slime body, as if looking for a better lying position.

"No, boss."

Ya's tone was full of excitement and eagerness to try.

"It's a good opportunity to practice with them."

He did not choose to take the axe blade head-on, but instead suddenly ducked and rushed forward, his petrified left shoulder slamming into the gap in the orc's waist and abdomen that was exposed by the orc's swing of the axe.

Petrifying collision!

"Oh!"

A dull crashing sound sounded.

The orc was knocked off balance and his tall body fell backwards.

At this moment, the ranger's arrow shot again.

Arno was unable to dodge and the arrow grazed the outside of his thigh, leaving a bloody mark.

The sharp pain made him pause.

"good chance!"

The stealthy thief reappeared like a ghost, and stabbed Arno's injured thigh tendon with his dagger.

Arno groaned, and his thigh, which was scratched by the arrow, was instantly covered with stone skin.

"clang!"

The dagger failed again!

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing!" The thief was about to lose his mind.

After several rounds of fighting, Arno's physical strength was greatly depleted and his breathing became heavy in order to resist the orcs' brute force attacks. He had to fight quickly.

He turned around suddenly, ignoring the orc's attack from behind, and stabbed the ranger, who was a little dazed because his two attacks were ineffective, with his sword with determination.

The ranger hastily raised his sword to block.

"Pfft!"
