Slime Immortal

"That is Putu's messenger. Be respectful to him."

"Awe."

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and returned to the solemn and sacred task of barbecuing for the envoy.

The moss monster was roasted to the perfect temperature, retaining its crispness and tenderness while sizzling with oil and having a fresh wood fragrance, which whetted Chen Yu's appetite.

After swallowing a few more moss monsters, he asked about what was happening outside.

"Are you the only Scaled Shedder left in the tribe? Are your companions looking for you?"

"Huh? What?"

When Sergash came to his senses, he realized what Chen Yu had asked.

She became a little depressed.

"The corrupted faith spread during the winter years, when few Lizardmen in the tribes believed in the corrupted Morgul, until..."

"Priest Zulok openly called on his people to embrace corruption. He claimed that corrupting Morgul would give us enough strength to hunt larger beasts and monsters like gnolls, and we wouldn't have to go hungry anymore..."

"So you believe it?"

Chen Yu swallowed a moss monster with a curious look in his eyes.

"Some of the tribesmen believed it, and amidst starvation and cold, a fierce conflict erupted in the tribe. My father... died resisting Zulok... My sister and I organized the last remaining force of Scaled Shedders, escaped Zulok's encirclement, and hid in the swamp forest."

"We were exiled for several months, relying on our faith in nature to avoid danger time and time again, and finally made it to the beginning of spring..."

"But in the end, we were forced to separate because of the hunting of the Jackals... I still don't know whether my sister is still alive."

"You still have a sister."

"Well, her name is Semiya. She's the bravest warrior in our tribe. In the presence of all her fellow tribesmen, she single-handedly slew the terrifying bugbears and completed the tribe's trials while bathed in blood."

"Trial?"

Chen Yu captured the key words.

"Yes, this is a ritual passed down from generation to generation in our Scale Claw Tribe. When a lizardman defeats an unbeatable enemy under the witness of his fellow tribesmen, he will receive the gift of the Spirit of Life and become even stronger and more powerful."

Isn't this a prestigious title?

Chen Yu can now be certain that the native creatures of Ze'arila who can obtain prestigious titles are more like entering a higher level of life.

Just like him.

Evolved from a minion monster to an elite monster.

Although the elite slime can still be killed with one foot for some monsters, it is at least a good start.

Chen Yu wanted to ask something else, but seeing Sergash reminiscing, he finally didn't say anything and let her think quietly.

As the night deepened, the glow of the fluorescent moss grew dimmer.

The bonfire was still burning, but the flames were no longer enough to dispel the dim darkness, which gradually surrounded it and shrank in front of the shelter made of branches and leaves.

"Go to sleep, and remember to get up and add more firewood in the middle of the night."

Chen Yu jumped onto a rock farther away from the campfire, feeling the cool moisture and replenishing the water in his body.

Roasting by the fire was extremely comfortable for him, but it was easy to dry out the gel, so he couldn't keep roasting it.

"If you don't mind, squeeze in with me?"

Segash crawled onto the bed of leaves and asked carefully.

Chen Yu did not reply. He collapsed on the stone, practicing the Sanyuan Sect's technique of Kaiyuanbao Scroll, and had already entered a state of meditation.

Ze'arila's spiritual energy is quite thin, but after all, even a mosquito leg is still meat.

The peak time is at night and early morning, which is perfect for cultivation.

Practicing with two bodies together will have better results.

After he entered the state of cultivation, the slime's body slowly emitted a faint fluorescent light. Some tiny, almost invisible light spots quietly seeped out from the surrounding air, soil, and even leaves, lingering around it.

The light is soft and pure, sacred and natural, as if it condenses the essence of the moonlight, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

Sergash lay on the bed of leaves, watching this scene. His heart, which should have been uneasy due to the unfamiliar environment, unexpectedly calmed down, like a drifting boat that found a quiet harbor.

She murmured a prayer for Putu, her eyelids gradually grew heavy, and she finally fell asleep, her breathing steady and long.

Sleep soundly.

……

In the next few days, Chen Yu practiced archery while waiting for Sergash to recover from his injuries.

Four days passed by in a flash, and during this time no lizardmen or gnolls came to visit.

Ignoring the new resident, Segash, the swamp forest is no different from before.

On this day, Chen Yu felt as if he had grown bigger again, and always felt that the original beetle helmet had become a little crowded.

To be honest, after upgrading to Black Iron Lv.3, he only felt that his health was thicker and he was more resistant to attacks, but there seemed to be no other changes.

Oh no.

In addition, the amount of acid that the magic organ can condense at one time has increased.

Chen Yu lurked in the swamp, spying on the busy oak territory—the stinging bees were lingering around the oaks, feeding and harvesting moss monsters, while the group of beetles still lingered under the trees and refused to leave.

The two seem to be in a stalemate.

However, after these days of recuperation, Segash's injuries have completely recovered.

He felt the time had come.

It's time to drive these monsters out of our territory.

Chapter 18 It turns out to be a magic wand

"We... fight stinging bees?"

In the camp, Sergash hugged the newly maintained oak stick tightly, the tip of his tail trembling slightly, and his nervousness was visibly evident.

The mere thought of monsters like stinging bees terrifies lizardmen.

Even a lone Stinger can make a strong Lizardman roll on the ground in pain.

If you are unlucky, you may even have to undergo amputation to save your life.

If they came out in full force, the larger beasts in the swamp would be in trouble, and even the tribe's most elite hunting team would have to turn around and run away.

She went to fight the stinging bees... Wasn't she really going to deliver food to the stinging bees?

"Are you afraid?"

Segash nodded, then shook his head, feeling a little guilty.

"I, I should be able to help."

"I know nature magic."

She waved the oak club in her hand, pretending to release a spell, as if this could give her some confidence.

Huh?

It turns out that this oak stick that can be used as a mace is a melee weapon used to physically exorcise stinging bees?

Chen Yu felt like he had misunderstood something.

This was the oak branch he had personally helped to select three days ago... The reason for choosing it was very simple. It was thick and straight enough, and heavy enough. It was very powerful when swung, and it was guaranteed to clear out a group of poisonous bees with one swing.

It's because he has no hands, otherwise he would have wanted to get one for himself.

I never expected that Sergash was used as a staff.

No wonder she has been treating this piece of oak so tenderly these days, peeling and polishing it, and carefully maintaining it, putting in so much effort.

But sticks and staffs look similar...

They're all sticks, so using them as staffs should be... no problem, right?

Chen Yu suddenly felt a little guilty, but on the surface he maintained the composure that an envoy should have.

Sergash was completely unaware of his thoughts and was still immersed in joy, showing off the staff in his arms as if it were his treasure.

"It turns out that the black willow staff was lost during the escape. Without the staff, casting spells is always difficult."

"But this one is much better!"

"It's made of iron oak. It's hard and heavy, symbolizing strength and tenacity. Using it to cast spells will prevent them from being interrupted."

"You can't find oak of this quality anywhere else."

As long as it works.

"As long as you like it."

In fact, iron oaks like this are everywhere in the deep swamp and are not rare at all.

But seeing her delighted expression, Chen Yu decisively suppressed the truth that was surging in his heart.

Never mind, it’s a new wand after all, let her be happy.
