Slime Immortal

In fact, when the Lizardmen were fighting, the Queen Bee told him that there was something hiding nearby, and it seemed to be a surviving human.

"A rainstorm is coming. If this poor fellow doesn't leave the swamp, he might not survive the night."

"Forget it, never mind it."

That night, thunder pierced the silence of the swamp forest, the rain became heavier, and from time to time the roars of wild beasts could be heard from the forest.

That was terrifying.

Then humanity is probably really finished.

The heavy rain continued until the next day.

Chen Yu did not go out of the main gate or the secondary gate, and practiced talismans in the shelter. He waited until the rain gradually subsided on the third day before returning to the territory along the newly opened Shunfeng Forest Road.

However, I can't expect to travel very fast, so I can only study and draw talismans while traveling to pass the time.

Chapter 26 Territory Construction

After the rainstorm, monsters were everywhere in the swamp, and there were countless slimes. They looked like crystal emeralds in the sunlight, casting a soft green glow on the forest.

Chen Yu was an inconspicuous member of the group, jumping and walking in the afternoon swamp, with occasional dappled sunlight shining through the transparent gel.

It's warm and comfortable.

After being away from the territory for so long, he began to miss the warm and comfortable slime nest, the slime mother and those little ones.

With the stinging bees watching, no monster would dare to bully them...

But he still felt that the territory was not safe enough.

It is best to build the territory before the next rainstorm comes, and it must be able to resist the rioting monsters.

It's not difficult, it just takes time.

After a day and night of travel, Chen Yu finally returned to the Oak Territory.

Compared to when he left, the area around the Oak Territory had become a mess. Sergash's camp had been destroyed by monsters, and the fire pit had been buried under fallen leaves, returning to its original state.

Fortunately, the Oak Territory is taken care of by stinging bee soldiers, and the farm remains the same as before, except that there are some fat moss monsters.

After having a satisfying breakfast, Chen Yu dived to the bottom of the swamp and returned to the slime nest.

During the time he was away, many slime nests seemed to have opened up around him, but no slimes dared to approach the slime nest where he was.

After squeezing into the nest with a pop, he saw the slime mother feeding the little ones who had grown to the size of a thumb.

The little ones were stunned when they first saw him, but then they recognized him and rolled and jumped happily in the slime mother's arms.

When the slime mother saw him, she slowly released gentle pheromones, like a faint joy.

Chen Yu crawled in and found that as he grew bigger, the originally spacious nest seemed a little crowded.

He touched the slime mother with his forehead and used telepathy to convey the idea of ​​"moving".

"Oak tree...my territory...moving..."

The slime's brain is simpler than that of a stinging bee, and it obviously cannot understand such complicated words.

Fortunately, the slime's pheromones contain primitive languages ​​that express "moving" and "territory", as if there really was a slime that gained territory and moved its nest out of the dark swamp bottom.

The slime mother blinked and was stunned for a long time before she seemed to understand what he said. She silently pressed the little ones into the gel and packed them up to take away.

Chen Yu put away the gray gravel crystals that he had buried in the nest before, and went out of the nest and swam upstream. The slime mother followed him silently and surfaced with him.

It was the first time for the little one in the gel to go out of the nest. Looking at the vast green world, feeling the warm sunlight penetrating its body, it exuded excitement.

Chen Yu went ashore and jumped step by step towards the beetle's original nest at the bottom of the tree.

The nest at the bottom of the tree is spacious enough and easy to enter and exit, making it suitable for use as a new nest.

Wherever he walked, the bryozoans scattered in panic. Even so, it was the first time for the slime mother to come into such close contact with these predators. Her body was trembling, and it took her a long time to catch up.

However, the little ones, after seeing him hunting beetles, were not so afraid. Instead, they blinked their curious eyes and observed the world.

The slime mother followed Chen Yu into the dim underground again and squeezed out the little ones.

The beetle's nest at the bottom of the tree is twice the size of the slime's nest and is spacious enough for the little ones to play and fight in it.

“Not a bad start.”

Chen Yu thought with satisfaction.

Slimes are originally the weakest monsters in this land. We don’t ask these little guys to become very powerful when they grow up. It’s enough for them to live an ordinary life in peace.

At least there are no monsters in his oak territory that can bully them.

Having just completed the relocation of the nest, Chen Yu began to actively build his territory.

First, he expanded his territory to the area surrounding the three oak trees, including the former camp of Segash.

The central tree land serves as the slime habitat, and the moss monster breeding farm is moved to the moss tree land covered with fluorescent moss.

The tree plot in the camp was the place he left for Sergash to spend the night. Maybe she would come back.

He hadn't figured out what to do with the last oak tree growing in the swamp, so he decided to occupy it first.

After he drove away the sleeping fluorescent mushroom people in the territory, the stinging bees began a vigorous construction operation according to his ideas.

Actually, swamp oak is a very poor choice for territory.

Generally, noble lords would choose to build castles and fortresses on high ground in villages and towns, which have certain terrain advantages and are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Oak Territory is so flat that you can see the end at a glance. Monsters can come from all directions, and a magical riot can destroy the entire territory.

But the territory he wants to build cannot be thought of according to the thinking of another world.

It is more like a cave than a territory.

He recalled the contents of the maze map in his mind and ordered the stinging bees to bury stones in the soil as Feng Shui veins, and the range just covered the four oak trees.

However, asking stinging bees to dig soil and move stones is really difficult for them. Whether they can move them is another matter, and digging trenches is also a very difficult task for their tiny limbs.

Chen Yu began to miss his beetle brothers, who were good at digging.

Since the stinging bee wasn't working, he dug the hole himself.

Behind them, the slime mother and the little ones also came out of the nest and helped carry the stones.

Slime's mother didn't understand what he was doing, she just helped with the work silently.

The little ones treated carrying stones as a game for fun. They used all their strength to carry stones that were bigger than their bodies and pushed them into the ditches in the earth.

With the help of the whole family, the construction of the maze array was accelerated, and it only took one day to lay the basic foundation of the array.

Then use the slime filled with spiritual power to draw the spiritual patterns, and the whole maze array is just one step away.

At this exciting moment, Chen Yu took out the gray gravel crystal he had discovered earlier and buried it in the nest at the bottom of the tree.

This thing can replace the spirit stone as the center of the formation, but it is as bright as a light bulb and too conspicuous, so it can only be buried in a nest at the bottom of a tree.

It also provides light for the dim nest.

After placing it properly, Chen Yu counted down and injected spiritual power. As the gravel crystal glowed, the magic circle was activated. A thin mist gradually spread outside, covering the entire oak territory.

This mist is quite peculiar. It looks like floating clouds, but it cannot block the light. The sunlight can still shine through the mist into the territory.

From the outside, the maze has been completely integrated into the poisonous fog, and even the territory cannot be seen clearly from the outside.

He caught a moss monster and threw it outside to try it out.

It turned out that the moss monster was like a hallucination, wandering outside the maze and unable to get in.

"It's done."

Chen Yu slowly climbed up the oak tree, overlooking the vibrant scene of the entire territory, and couldn't help feeling proud.

This is a new beginning.

Everything is going in the right direction.

Chapter 27 The Petrified Man

The sky is grey.

The cold raindrops hit the thin windows of the cheap hotel in Iron Boot Town, making a dull and annoying sound.

In the unsounded room, the air was filled with the smell of cheap tobacco and damp wood...

And endless quarrels.

"You really have to go? That...that swamp full of monsters?!"

Laura's voice rose with anger and fear. She hugged the two frightened children tightly. The boy hid behind his mother's skirt and the girl sobbed softly.

"Arno Belmont! Look at you! Look at us! You are a descendant of knights, not a lowly peddler! And you are not meant to be fed to lizards!"

Arno had his back to her, stuffing the last few pieces of rough warm clothing into a badly worn leather backpack, his movements somewhat unnoticeably stiff.

"Lola, the 'Knight's Descendants' can't fill their stomachs, let alone pay for the tuition at Thor Arcane Academy."

His voice was low and filled with suppressed fatigue, and he didn't look back at her.

"Adventurers in Ironshoe Town say that the Lizardmen along the Reed River are in desperate need of grain and salt after the spring, and the price... is three times what it is in the kingdom. One trip, just this one, will be enough to keep you safe for a few years."

"Safe? How can we be safe if you're dead?!"

Laura rushed to him, her long golden hair a little messy, her blue eyes filled with tears, no longer the admiration of the past, but deep disappointment and confusion.

"You could have found a respectable job! Even guarding the city gates! Why here? Why now? Those demihumans... they're barbaric, filthy, and untrustworthy! Everyone in the kingdom knows it!"

Arno turned around suddenly, and his light brown eyes flashed with pain and stubbornness under his dark chestnut hair.

"Respectable? The copper coins for guarding the city gate are not even enough for rent! Laura, be realistic! I need money! A lot of money! So that you and the children don't have to worry about others' opinions in the future!"

The lingering, unconscious tone of command in his voice stung Laura.

"Look at people's faces? We are looking at your crazy face right now!"

Laura picked up her little daughter and pulled up her son, her voice cold and resolute.

"Okay, go! Go to your swamp and deal with those monsters! Trade your 'noble' life in Belmont for dirty gold coins! Children, let's go! Go back to Grandma Havenstone's house! Let your father be his...big businessman!"

She uttered the last few words almost through gritted teeth.
