It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Then there is the patrol system headed by Bai Huang and He Ji. The main task is to be responsible for the public security of Yuxi City and maintain fairness and justice, which is also what Comrade Xiao Huang likes to do most. My evaluation of Bai Huang is N, dispensable, it is better to be gone. Not only did he stand me up, but he also threatened me openly. Sooner or later, he will find an opportunity to retaliate. But although Bai Huang is not very useful, He Ji is a capable young man, with decent sword skills and good conversation. I will just buy He Ji and give Xiao Huang a gift.

Now my job is much easier.

Once Fang Shisan and her army left, the threat suddenly became much smaller. Although the situation was still very tense for the people of Yuxi City, it was not so tense for me because most of the work could be handed over to He Yue at this stage.

That's why I like it here.

Many people still have great ambitions after reincarnation, and continue to work hard in the other world, shining and radiating, but why bother? There is no end to work, and things are never finished. There is no end to learning, and it is better to turn back before you can return. Don't do the work that can be handed over to your younger brother, and find a new younger brother to do the work that your younger brother cannot do. This is the core content of the way of slacking off.

But now Yuxi City is still too weak. If I lie in bed and eat dry food every day, I always worry that one day I will run out of food. I still plan to do something, which is what I said before, taking Alaiya to the demon clan’s territory to kill people.

There is no such thing as doing something without benefits. There are three main purposes for doing this.

The first is to hone Alaya's swordsmanship. After all, she learned swordsmanship to kill people. When swordsmanship reaches a certain level, the effect of actual combat is far more practical than training. But the guys near Yuxi City, Alaya can't beat Fang Shisan's army now, and the people of Yunhai can't be beaten. As long as the army of Lineng doesn't come to offer their heads, Alaya is not good at climbing the city wall to attack the city. The best training props are only the demons. Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water, Yuxi City relies on some useless things, only the demons are warm to the heart.

Second, Felita still lacks a good staff. Alayya used my father's sword "Wandering Dragon", which is naturally very rare. But Felita is a little pitiful. I originally planned to buy her one in Yunhai, but I found that I couldn't afford it. It's too real.

After all, magicians are such a rare profession, so the price of weapons will be high. Scarcity makes things valuable. Many lords hide expensive magic wands in an attempt to attract excellent magicians with weapons. In comparison, Fileta is a perfect example of eating grass and milking milk. She doesn't ask for weapons and equipment, and is wholeheartedly for Yuxi City and me. It would be unreasonable for me not to give something in return. This time, I plan to go west with Alaiado and fight some demons of the level of Gobrown, and use their rare materials to make a magic wand, which must be upgraded to the blue grade.

Third, it is the colorless slime.

I have observed it several times during this period, and I feel that this guy should be eating food to upgrade, but Yuxi City is too poor, where can it have so many precious materials to eat. So far, it has eaten at least a few gold coins of materials, and there is no change from the appearance to the inside. It is just a material crusher, a bottomless black hole. It happened that only Alaiya and I were on this trip, and the things we could bring were limited. I guess we can't bring back all the overflowing materials produced by the low-level demons, and it would be a pity to throw them away. It's better to bring this slime with me, on the one hand, let it eat those materials that are inconvenient to carry. On the other hand...

I have other uses, too.

25. Weak and pitiful but able to eat

In order to carry out my evil plan, I first put on a gentle face and ran to the outside of the colorless slime's cage, smiling and saying to it:

"Xiao Wu, how have you been eating recently? Are you able to eat enough?"

Although the colorless slime came close to the bars of the cage, it ignored my thoughts and continued to slowly gnaw on the horn of a horned rabbit.

I sat on the ground outside the cage and said:

"Don't be so cautious. I'm not lying to you this time. I'm going to take you to the demon tribe to eat some good food. You can eat as many rabbit horns as you want. Just eat as much as you want. No one will care if you eat too much."

The colorless slime put down the rabbit horns in front of it and twisted its round body towards me. The core in its body flickered, as if asking if there was such a good thing. I explained the situation to it and said that it could eat whatever materials I didn't like. The slime immediately came over and looked like it was obedient.

At this time, the poor little slime had not yet realized the approaching danger.

Before the trip, Alayya packed her bag, which mainly contained some picnic utensils and a homemade sleeping bag. I also brought a package, which mainly contained various seasonings. Even in the wild, the food must be delicious. This is the self-cultivation of a young man.

After a brief farewell, I set off with Alaya and the colorless slime.

But as soon as she entered the demon's territory, Alayya discovered a serious problem:

"Master. Are we going to look for the demon army?"

I shook my head:

"Not for now. Unlike those idle demons who don't care how many they kill, if the demon army loses one for no apparent reason, it will bring unnecessary trouble to Yuxi City."

Alayya continued:

"But apart from the army, the remaining demons are very scattered. If we just go west along one path, we won't encounter many demons at all."

I patted Alayya's shoulder appreciatively, gave her a thumbs up and said:

"Yes, this is an issue that needs to be considered as well. But that is also why we need to use the resources at hand."

Alayya was puzzled.

I casually took out a snake pupil dropped by [Arbok] and threw it to the colorless slime. This guy was just like a domestic cat. He jumped up and caught the snake pupil, then wrapped it up and began to digest it with relish. At this time, it didn't have the slightest vigilance. I took out a net bag from my arms and easily put it in.

The colorless slime realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

Because this is a web made of the silk of the [Stinging Spider], the small slime at the bottom of the food chain now has no ability to dissolve it. I hung the net bag on the tree and ambushed around it with Alayya.

“Beep—!! Beep—!! Chick—!!”

The slime let out a shrill cry.

As early as when I was raising them, Hantu told me that other demons would show natural hostility to colorless slimes. So this rule obviously applies in the wild. The colorless guy was tied to a tree in a net bag, and in the eyes of other demons, he was no different from a delicious food. Soon, red eyes lit up in the woods, and I don't know how many low-level demons were attracted and rushed over.

The colorless slime on the tree was obviously frightened and the sound became even more heart-wrenching.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless, but able to eat.

This is the best description of it right now.

“Beep~~~!!”

I couldn't help but smile sadly. The first demons, such as Arbok, were trying to climb up the trees to eat the colorless slimes. Other demons, such as goblins, tried to chop down the trees to make the colorless slimes fall. Seeing that the situation was almost over, I shouted:

"Go ahead, Alayya! It's decided to be you!"

Alayya's figure suddenly appeared, and the long sword in her hand formed a beautiful arc in the air. As if to save energy, she did not use sword energy directly, but used close combat, sweeping across like cutting melons and vegetables, beating those low-level demons back like a raging storm.

This is the leek-cutting method.

After the battle, Alayya swung the sword in her hand handsomely, and the blood on the blade of the "Dragon" sword splashed all over the ground. The poor little slime saw such a scene for the first time. Even if I put it down from the tree, it trembled and hid behind me, not daring to look Alayya in the eye.

I squatted down and patted its head... I don't know where its head is. Anyway, I patted it and said with a smile:

"Come on, you can eat a lot. Eat as much as you want, but let me make it clear that among all these ingredients, there are bound to be some very special, rare and valuable ones. It's inconvenient for me to find them one by one, but you should pay attention when you eat. If there are any, I advise you to hand them to me. After all, eating one less ingredient won't be a big deal for you... It should be much milder than turning into a braised slime."

The colorless slime cautiously leaned forward, its core flashed, and it seemed to glance at Alayya.

At this moment, Alayya was like a ghost to the low-level monsters. There was blood on her armor, and the sword in her hand did not shake at all. There were corpses all around her. The little slime was so scared that he quickly shrank back, and only dared to run out to feast after Alayya left.

I took Alayya to sit under a tree and found a handkerchief to wipe the blood off her face.

Alayya took off her wrist and hand armor and began to clean and maintain them carefully.

26. Sparks and Lightning All the Way

It took about forty minutes for the colorless slime to successfully clean up the battlefield.

Most of the demons who died tragically under Alayya's sword were devoured by the colorless slime without leaving even a bone. The entire chaotic scene turned clean and tidy again in an instant.

The only problem is...

"With so many demons, nothing dropped?"

I stared at the slime's core suspiciously and asked:

"You must be lying to me."

The colorless slime twisted its body wildly, as if shaking its head.

I caught this fat slime again and observed it carefully. I found that it didn't seem to change much even though it ate so much. I was expecting it to upgrade and transform, but it seems that there is no hope. The only difference is that its core seems to be a little brighter. Other than that, it is still a bunch of cool and sticky liquid.

I asked:

"Xiao Wu, how much more do you need to eat to evolve? Don't you have any idea?"

The colorless slime didn't answer.

I asked:

"Then can you evolve? Do you feel the power gathering in your body right now, like a vast sea of ​​stars or a cascading waterfall? That power forms a sea of ​​qi in your dantian, opening up a magical little world in your body..."

Before I could finish my nonsense, the Colorless Slime twisted its body to indicate that it was not possible.

I slapped it on the head in annoyance:

"What's the use of you then? Alaiya, what about you?"

Alayya calmly put on her gauntlets, put one hand on her sword, stood in front of me, and said:

"No, sir. Everything is as usual."

I touched Alayya's head and comforted her:

"It doesn't matter. Eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. You will become stronger in the end."

The colorless slime pounced on my legs, as if protesting against my unfair treatment. However, it was useless. I just kicked it lightly and threw it away.

If the materials weren't too much to carry and it would be a waste to leave them in the wild, why would I bring a light bulb like you with me?

With a smile on my face, I took out a new net bag and put the colorless slime into it.

"serge--!!"

"serge--!!"

“Beep, beep, beep—!”

“Chichichichichi——!!! Chichi~~”

After harvesting another batch of leeks, I put the colorless slime down, kicked it twice, and cursed:

"How come you learned to weave like a monkey? Are you trying to learn how to weave like Hua Mulan?"

The colorless slime huddled up, silent, and began to eat the remains of the demons on the ground. Alaiya's ponytail was scattered behind her head, and there was a lot of blood on her light golden hair. I carefully wiped it off for her, and then took out a comb to comb her hair carefully. I have helped her comb her hair many times over the years, and gradually I got used to it.

Alayya placed one hand on the sword and said:

"Master, I seem to have improved my sword skills."

I asked:

"What does it feel like?"

Alayya shook her head, unable to explain.

In fact, she did become stronger, although only slightly. Being washed by the waves of demons one after another, the strong smell of blood around could easily ignite the hidden potential in a person's body. But if there were no opportunities, this growth rate would still be too slow. Alaya had just reached the fifth level of the sword path, and there was still some gap between her and the sixth level. This gap was really nothing in my opinion, but for Alaya, whose talent was not outstanding, it would take at least several years to cross this gap.

If you want to become stronger quickly, the best way is to find someone to learn from.

The problem is that I can't spar with Alaya, and she can't attack me. Heji has said this before. He can't beat Alaya with suppressed strength, and he can beat Alaya with released strength. What the hell is this? After thinking about it, I think the only way is to search for a demon with similar strength to Alaya nearby, but such demons basically join the army, why are they still wandering around in the mountains.

I had no choice but to lead Alaya and Slime to harvest leeks while walking northwest with them. I didn't want to directly encounter the demon tribe that replaced Brother Brown. I was still counting on that demon tribe to send heads to Yuxi City. What if I scared them? The best way was to go northwest, bypass the army in the west, and clean up the other demon tribes.

After a while, the slime finished eating the corpse on the ground, and ran to my side, dropping a glowing horn on the ground beside me, then lay flat on the side, like a puppy staring at a bone.

"You found it?"

I asked.

The slime's core moved up and down, as if nodding.

"It's very rare, you can't bear to eat it?"

The slime repeated the action and then turned away, as if it was angry.

I picked up the glowing horn from the ground and observed it in the setting sun.

27. Crisis! Red-maned bear appears

After looking at it for a while, I put the horn in my hand back into my pocket.

It looked like a horn of a horn rabbit, but the quality was much better than other horn rabbits. It might be a rare material dropped by elite monsters. Alaya had almost finished her rest, so I took her to continue heading northwest.

In about three days, we didn't know how many scattered demons we captured and killed.

Even at the end, the slime's appearance had changed slightly.

Its body is not completely colorless, and its skin has a light golden color. At first, I thought it was because the sun was too bright, and it looked like a lump of gold. But when I picked up this sticky little thing, I found that the color was real.

I weighed the slime, and it seemed very dissatisfied with my wanton rubbing of its body. It proudly jumped back to the ground and bounced away. Its core became much brighter, and it was like a small light bulb except when it was sleeping.

Then three days later, our group finally encountered the first elite demon with extraordinary strength.

It was a [Red Maned Bear], and it was a leader. It looked quite intimidating. There were no other demons active within a two-mile radius, which showed the influence of this guy. It was about two meters and five meters tall, and it looked like a small mountain as it shuttled through the forest. Every time it stepped on the ground, it would leave a huge footprint.

In addition, there is a circle of mane around its neck like a lion, which looks majestic at first glance. The nails of its two front paws are light gray and flashing with cold light. If it slaps down with its palm, it is estimated that a tree as thick as a man’s embrace will be directly slapped away.

At first, I took Alaya and Slime to observe the situation nearby, but soon the red-maned bear noticed us. I saw it standing on two feet, constantly sniffing the air. Seeing this, I patted Alaya on the back, and Alaya drew her sword and went straight to meet it.

The red-maned bear roared and rushed over here.

Alayya went to meet him.

The long sword thrust out, and then Alayya was slapped away by a palm!

I slapped my forehead helplessly, what a silly girl. The red-maned bear in front of me is at least five times stronger, and even slightly stronger than Alaya. He is tall, thick-skinned, and can't fight head-on. Alaya stabbed the opponent's neck as soon as she came up, obviously using the sword moves I taught her to strike first, isn't this just being used as a punching bag?

Alayya's breastplate was broken directly, but fortunately she didn't have a breast, so there was no need to protect it specially.

Alayya, who was hit against the tree, spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered to her feet, and clenched the sword in her hand.
