Chapter 421 Devouring Slimes Sparks Another Rage

The commotion attracted a swarm of thousands of God-Devouring Butterflies to join the fun. However, since both sides possessed the aura of the Godless Abyss Serpent, the thousands of God-Devouring Butterflies did not attack them.

After packing up his spoils, Li Cunxu immediately made his escape.

Before long, the Godless Abyss Serpent came to investigate, and the thousands of Devouring God Butterflies that had been lingering around it avoided it like sheep seeing a wolf.

The battle is over, the people are gone, there's nothing to see here.

The Godless Heavenly Abyss Serpent stared at the traces of the battle for a while, then left.

There were airships on the way there, and there are airships on the way back, but it depends on luck.

If you're lucky, you might encounter a passing airship in a single day, allowing you to immediately board it and travel to Dragon City, the closest city to the Wild Mountains.

Unfortunately, they didn't encounter any passing airships and had to walk back.

Logically speaking, Li Cunxu should have no problem with luck since he brought Jiang Lingyun along. However, Jiang Lingyun's good fortune wasn't in a hurry to return. Instead, she led Li Cunxu to collect resources in the desolate mountains, collecting them in abundance.

The resources they collected were more profitable than the ice pearls Li Cunxu sold every day.

This only includes what Li Cunxu picked up.

Jiang Lingyun picked up an incredible amount of treasures. Her treasure-hunting rat could sense the treasures, and they all shared her talent, "Unparalleled Fortune."

Before breaking through to the Venerable King level, Jiang Lingyun no longer lacked resources.

"How enviable!"

Li Cunxu sighed.

After collecting for ten days, it seemed that Jiang Lingyun had collected enough, and Fu Yun immediately arranged for a passing airship to arrive.

Li Cunxu flew into the sky, caught a tailwind, and returned to Longdu.

They used a teleportation array to travel to the Divine Capital School.

Upon returning to school, a group of students saw him and immediately shouted, surrounding Li Cunxu and clamoring to devour slimes, begging him to put more slimes on the shelves.

"Senior Cunxu, please sell me one Devouring Slime. I'll pay twenty times the original price."

“Senior Cunxu, I’ll pay a hundred times the price for one of your Devouring Slimes.”

"Senior Cunxu, I...I...I...I..."

"There are so many of us who want it, senior. There aren't that many Devouring Slime. To be fair, I think you should just put it on the campus network. Then we'll all have to be the fastest to grab it."

"That scoundrel is cunning. You have a fifth-generation mechanical pet phone with a built-in device that enhances internet speed. You can't beat anyone to that when you try to buy it online. Don't listen to him, senior."

……

Li Cunxu was completely bewildered. What was going on? More than twenty days had passed, yet the enthusiasm for buying slimes had only increased instead of decreased.

Li Cunxu saw that more and more people were gathering around him, and many others seemed to have received word that he was there and were running to surround him. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to break through the encirclement in a day.

Li Cunxu decisively asked the Void-Transforming Turtle to teleport him back to his lodging.

Before teleporting, Li Cunxu originally intended to teleport away with Jiang Lingyun.

But Jiang Lingyun, who was beside him, had disappeared at some point. Li Cunxu activated his Blood Lotus Eyes and quickly looked around. He found that Jiang Lingyun had somehow gotten to the outer edge of the crowd, holding a spirit melon seed produced by the wild sunflower monster, eating melon seeds and watching the show.

In fact, the moment the crowd surrounded her, Jiang Lingyun instinctively moved away from Li Cunxu.

huh~
Li Cunxu teleported away.

"Ah~ Senior, why did you leave? I haven't gotten my Devouring Slime yet."

"It must be you guys who scared the senior."

……

Li Cunxu opened the campus network, and the top trending topic was: "Senior Li Cunxu is back! Our Devouring Slime is finally settled."

Li Cunxu was puzzled.

Devouring slimes are more powerful than ordinary pets; if properly trained, they can fight dragon pets to a standstill.

However, it still can't compare to a dragon pet. The Devouring Slime has a major drawback: it eats too much. Li Cunxu opened the pet audio app, and the top headline was also related to the Devouring Slime.

Many people are clamoring for a contract to devour slimes.

After some searching, Li Cunxu figured out why Devour Slime had become popular again.

The reason is still related to Mengjun, who made Devouring Slime a hit before.

Mengjun not only contracted and devoured a slime herself, but she also recommended it to her best friend, Nvjun. What's more, her best friend actually listened to Mengjun and contracted a slime, showing it off online in a high-profile manner.

Mengjun praised the contract and even recommended it to his monarch friend, so this pet must be worth contracting.

As a result, the popularity of the contract to devour slimes is increasing.

In addition, Li Cunxu's purchase limit on devouring slimes led to a kind of scarcity marketing, which made the contract to devour slimes even more popular.

The new ruler, a woman who shares a similar fate with the Dream Lord, is also feared by the Four Gods for her talent and is cursed with the same appearance that will never change.

However, the female ruler was slightly better off than the dream ruler. The curse was not particularly strong, so the female ruler did not revert to the appearance of a little girl, but was permanently fixed in the appearance of a young girl.

Li Cunxu felt something was strange. The fact that the Devouring Slime was contracted by Mengjun and attracted Mengjun with its cuteness could be explained.

However, this explanation doesn't apply to the female ruler, as she doesn't care whether her contracted pets are cute or not.

Li Cunxu understands the Queen. She is a complete power-hungry player, and the pets she contracts with are all extremely powerful.

Especially after she broke through to the Monarch level, her standards became even higher, and she began to contract pets of the 'minor divine beast' level, such as the psionic dragon.

Devouring slimes has some strength, but not much. It shouldn't have caught the Lady's eye.

"I have a feeling that there's more to the story than meets the eye when the Queen's Contract devours the slime."

An hour later, Li Cunxu realized he had underestimated the popularity of devouring slimes.

The top trending topic online is "Li Cunxu reappears at Shendu University after a long absence".

Jiang Lingyun nudged Li Cunxu.

"Boss, look out the window."

Li Cunxu glanced around and saw that his doorway was full of students who were squatting there, and some students had even put up banners.

Fortunately, the students were of high moral character and did not ring Li Cunxu's doorbell because of this incident.

"It seems a bit unreasonable not to respond to this level of public interest."

Li Cunxu released two videos in response.

One video was posted online, and another was posted at the school.

The online announcement states that there will be a weekly limit of 20 Devouring Slimes, with an additional 10 to be added. Considering that some users can use mechanical pets with exceptionally fast internet speeds to snatch them up, the purchase method will be changed to random draw.

He will release ten Devouring Slimes on the school's website every month. Also, considering that some mechanical pets with particularly fast internet speeds can snatch them up, the purchase will be changed to a random draw.

As for the price, Li Cunxu did not raise it.

Even if the price of Devouring Slimes were increased to one Purple Gold Dragon Coin (120 million Alliance Coins), the monthly sales would not be as much as what he earns from selling Ice Pearls in a single day.

After posting the video, Li Cunxu stopped paying attention to the internet and went straight into the small teleportation array to return to Fengrao Island.

Xiao Ruan took over the job of eliminating noise eels below the King level once again, which made things much easier for Li Shiji.

"May it wash away its aura of world destruction."

Li Cunxu took out a butterfly egg that was radiating a vibrant green light, and then used a lotus leaf from the Golden Lotus of Merit on the butterfly egg.

Logically speaking, the aura of world destruction should be able to be washed away by the lotus leaves of the Golden Lotus of Merit.

Unlike the Three Primordial Demonic Dragons, whose world-destroying aura was concentrated above that of a single dragon, the Myriad Devouring God Butterflies' world-destroying aura was evenly distributed across all of them.

Theoretically, a butterfly egg contains only one in several hundred thousandths of a cataclysmic aura.
