Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

Shi Yu once left a surveillance eye in the sealed cave. After all, he is a protagonist of the good and lawful faction, so it would be great to have him as a follower.

.... ..... .......

As a result, after so much time, the slime that had become a god still hasn't appeared.

Shi Yu could probably understand the reason.

Because the slime's body was born from the magic energy overflowing from the Storm Dragon Veldora.

As a result, he managed to take away the Storm Dragon, and the sealed land was completely plundered, leaving nothing behind. He also wiped out all the monsters.

Without magic essence, how can any monsters possibly be born...?

The slime... probably got itself destroyed...

I wonder if it will be reborn somewhere else, but without the Storm Dragon's magic power as a guarantee,

With just an ordinary slime...

Poor Moe King, he's probably done for.

Led by Ligurud, Shi Yu arrived outside the village.

At this moment, a row of neatly arranged lizardmen soldiers stood in front of us.

Upon seeing Shi Yu's arrival,

They all struck the ground with their spears in unison.

Shi Yu felt that if a few more slogans like "wind, strong wind" were added, it would really have some meaning.

The lizardmen at the back formed a passage.

The flamboyant Gavilu rode a low-budget version of a dinosaur lizard slowly past from behind.

The awkward scene made Shi Yu so embarrassed that he just wanted to slap this idiot into a hole in the ground.

And that's exactly what he did.

"Bottomless Swamp!"

Chapter 156 The Tree Spirit Clan, Administrator Torene

"Wait, wait, wait a minute!"

A huge swamp suddenly appeared on the originally hard ground.

The lizardmen, who had been lining up to show off, were suddenly drawn in.

"I haven't said anything yet."

Gavilu cried out with a mournful face.

The swamp was too vast; he couldn't jump out at all. Even though they, the lizardmen, lived in wetlands, they couldn't escape the swamp's confinement.

This is, after all, a high-level earth magic from the Konosuba world. When Kazuma went to the Scarlet Devil Village, quite a few female orcs got trapped there.

Shi Yu didn't intend to kill his opponent.

He canceled the spell just as it was about to sink into his chest.

The unfortunate lizardman troops were all stuck halfway in the ground, so Shi Yu had Ligurud find a bunch of small spoons for them to hold in their mouths and dig themselves out.

He saw many protagonists in movies who were buried and escaped for "four, five, or seven" days, but he was skeptical of this.

The result surprised Shi Yu greatly, because perhaps because the lizardmen's necks were more flexible, these guys dug themselves out and escaped in less than half a day.

As for taking him as a subordinate, he didn't dare mention it at all, and didn't even utter a harsh word.

This greatly disappointed Shi Yu, who was prepared to continue humiliating him.

What's wrong with this world? Shouldn't villains always forget what they've been wronged by?

Everyone's so pragmatic, how am I supposed to maintain my cool image?

Cangying appeared beside Shi Yu in a flash.

"Lord Shi Yu, would you like to..."

As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture.

Shi Yu waved his hand and smiled at Cangying:

“We are civilized people, how can we resort to violence at the drop of a hat? Go and follow them, see if this guy will seize power, just watch.”

Cangying knelt respectfully and replied, then vanished in a flash.

Shi Yu touched his chin, feeling that this was somewhat similar to the Dark Division.

Just then, Thor flew over, flapping its wings. Megumin, sitting on its back, shouted with shining eyes:

"Shi Yu, Shi Yu! A fight has broken out! Quick! Quick, let's go too!"

20! That's 20 densely packed monsters!

This is a scene that Megumin, this explosive little girl, could only dream of.

Unlike Darkness, who seeks out powerful monsters to be tortured, Megumin pursues quantity.

The more monsters there are, and the denser they are, the more satisfying it is for her to unleash her explosive magic.

Previously, in the world of Subarashiki, Axel was an extremely remote starting village, with no dense clusters of monsters for her to blast away.

They spend their days frying frogs, and also have to worry about noise pollution complaints from residents of Axel.

Seeing the densely packed pig-headed monsters, she immediately became excited. If Thor hadn't stopped her, she would have loved to unleash a burst spell right away for some relief.

Shi Yu smiled and suppressed Huihui's impulse.

"No rush, we're waiting for someone."

The biggest difference between him and Rimuru is that he is a human.

He felt that to establish influence in the monster-infested Jura Forest, he needed the approval of the administrators.

That is, the tree spirit Torene.

When Shi Yu watched the anime, the intelligent and sophisticated older sister who radiated light left a deep impression on him.

Moreover, judging from the fact that she repelled the high-ranking demon under the Demon King's command, she must have at least A-rank strength.

After all, he is the manager of the Jura Forest and also controls such a strange thing as divine punishment.

Shi Yu felt that her power was similar to that of a local deity, and that it should provide a combat power boost in the Jura Great Forest.

And the fact that her tree spirit clan could easily supply 15 pig-headed army with fruit as food after the war is ridiculous enough.

So, as a human, he decided to establish his power here and first take Torene under his wing.

Although he could easily defeat his opponent in terms of strength,

However, if she doesn't come to see him on her own initiative, he can't catch her. Rather than saying she's an individual, it's more accurate to say that the entire Jura Forest is her true form; she can appear anywhere in the forest at will.

So Shi Yu enjoyed a peaceful and comfortable stay in the village for several more days.

During this time, the pig-headed tribe swept through the Jura Forest like locusts, devouring everything that was alive or edible.

Even the village chief where Shi Yu lives frequently encounters boar-headed cavalrymen who come to sweep through the area.

Wherever they went, it seemed as if they were going to devour everything.

The tree spirit Torene, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

This is completely short-sighted; her strength and life are inextricably linked to the Jura Forest.

I initially thought the pig-headed tribe was just searching for food; the forest's resources weren't insufficient for them...

But now it seems that the Pig-Headed Clan's goal is to completely slaughter the entire Jura Forest.

This made Torene unable to hold back any longer.

When evening came,

A green light emerged from the room where Shi Yu was sleeping.

A stunningly beautiful woman with fair skin, deep-set features, emerald green hair, and sapphire-like eyes slowly appeared before Shi Yu's eyes.

Her figure has a hazy and somewhat transparent appearance, making it clear at a glance that she does not have a physical body.

This is Torene, a descendant of the fairy race and the guardian of the Treant race, a high-level forest race, and an A+ grade Treant.

Her strength is on par with the fire spirit possessed by Jing.

When Shi Yu killed the Flame Spirit in the forest, she was terrified. If she hadn't had no other choice, she wouldn't have come looking for Shi Yu.

In her view, this human who could annihilate the high elves was far too dangerous.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency Shiyu. I am Torene, the tree spirit, and I have come to pay you a visit."

Torene bowed slightly to Shi Yu nervously and said,

Her budding appearance and cheeks gave her an ethereal, otherworldly beauty.

Shi Yu looked at Torene with curiosity and asked:

Can your body materialize?

Torene looked at Shi Yu with a face full of questions, wondering why he was asking about this.

"I am a superior race of the Treant race. My true form is not here. I am here mainly hoping that you can help resolve the invasion of the Pig-headed race. We Treants cannot move on our own, and there are far too few of us who can release our spiritual bodies."

"The culprit behind this incident seems to be our Treant tribe. We, the few treants we have, are simply no match for them, which is why we hope to enlist your help."

Shi Yu was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

The anime's portrayal was too vague; it only briefly introduced Torene before launching a campaign against the Orc Emperor.

He was completely baffled at the time, wondering how Krut was planning to ascend to the Demon King.

So their real target was this group of long-lived tree people.

And Torene isn't the only tree spirit.

Having understood the reason for the matter, Shi Yu looked at Torene with a smile:

"So what benefit would I get from helping you?"

Chapter 157 The Prototype of Demigod Rules

Torene on the other side was taken aback.

A pure yet pitiful smile appeared on her face:

"They were originally the Great Demon Clan, planning to fight the Orc Clan, right? Didn't you say you were going to help them? And you even saved the lowly goblins. With such a compassionate heart, you will surely save us poor tree spirits and tree people. I have great confidence in that."

Upon seeing this, Shi Yu immediately laughed, pointing to himself:

"I have no morals, don't even think about kidnapping me."

Torene choked, a look of exasperation on her face.

It seems that the big shot in front of him is not quite what he expected.

She recalled the many monsters at the party that night, and a look of utter helplessness crossed her face:

"Then how do you suggest we save us?"

Shi Yu looked at Torene with a wicked grin.

"I want you……"

Torene's eyes widened, and a look of impending tears appeared on her face.

A few days later,

Several ancient trees, lush and verdant, have arrived in Dashu Village.

On each tree, a tree spirit, seemingly a fairy, perched curiously, peered around.

By chance, a few baby devil spiders landed on the tree and built a nest, which frightened them so much that they trembled. But they soon discovered that these terrifying monsters meant them no harm.

Torene puffed out her cheeks and glared indignantly at Shi Yu.

"Are you satisfied now? Humph!"
