Chapter 18 Will you eat it if it works?
On the third day after the journey, a sunny morning.
Lord Demon King, the preparations for the war have been completed. Seno, carrying a giant sword, reported to me about the progress of preparation.
Standing in front of the gate of the Demon King City, I looked back at the huge city gate, and then shook my cloak: Very good, let's go.
Yes! Sano bowed and led a small group of skeletons arranged in square positions to follow me. The momentum began the first battle after the revival of the Demon King's power was not at all great.
However, the target this time is not the dark elf forces that were only attacked yesterday, but the Slime lair not far from the surrounding area of the Demon King City.
Strictly speaking, the conflict with the Dark Elf Patrol Squad yesterday was just a show by Seno alone, which was essentially not a real battle. The large number of Dark Elf corpses harvested afterwards finally gave the skeleton soldiers in Demon King City the most basic number.
Today, I will be the battle to guide the Slime Lair. As the strongest combat power of the Demon King City, Sano will not participate in the battle and will only be responsible for protecting my personal safety. It can be said that it is the first battle I really faced after traveling through time.
There are twelve initial skeletons in this battle, but they are all equipped with wooden shields and wooden swords made temporarily by the Dark Priest. I think there will be no dilemma of having to pull out their own parts to fight.
The march was dull, after all, the skeletons did not have the ability to speak, but fortunately the journey was not too far, and they had already reached their destination in less than half an hour's walk.
Although the Slime nest is called a nest, it is actually a cave. Before I could tell Seno, I handed over a torch that was beneficial to Wendechai, but it was immediately handed over to the skeleton a at the front of the team.
This is the Slime's nest? Seeing the skeleton clumsily collecting branches to ignite the torch and planning to drill wood to make fire, I inadvertently asked nonsense while waiting.
Sano was rigorous about my slander, which he almost didn't need to answer. He squatted down and dipped his fingers on the ground, pulling up a sticky snot-like sticky object that was suspected to have been placed for too long.
Sano, you won’t want to stuff this thing into your mouth, right? I pursed my lips, hoping that things won’t develop as I thought in my mind. In many fantasy series works, the characters in the inside will immediately get stuck in their mouths whenever they find suspicious objects on the floor, and they are not afraid of saying that they will eat something they shouldn’t eat.
Lord Demon King, you are too careful. My subordinate is just confirming whether there are signs of slimes appearing nearby. Seno casually wiped the sticky object on his fingers onto the skeleton passing by, and said righteously: Although the slime's mucus has a slight aphrodisiac effect, it cannot be used on the undead creatures, and I feel deeply regretful about this.
So if it works, will you eat it?
In order not to let the topic be dragged into strange places, I resisted the complaints, and at this time the skeletons finally raised the fire, but the thing as a burning object changed from a torch to the ribs of a skeleton.
You walked in front. I felt speechless about the skeleton that had to remove parts from my body without a torch. I rubbed my temples and picked up the unlit torch to borrow the fire from the skeleton's ribs.
As of now, there seems to be less reliable in the undead creatures under my command.
───────────────
Many people say that adventure is exciting and interesting, but after personal experience, you will find that it is not the same thing at all.
The exploration process of the cave is quite boring. Let’s not mention that the air does not circulate, which makes the entire cave have an indescribable strange smell. At the same time, you have to be careful of your feet from time to time during the movement. Sometimes stepping on the short side is just a drop in a dog's body, but if the bad luck is a little bit, it will collapse. I don’t know how long the cave has existed, and even the geology is fragile.
This is not nonsense, because I just saw a skeleton in the team slipping all the way because he stepped on the air, and fell directly from a cliff with a depth of ten feet.
However, they are skeletons, and they will automatically reorganize after being smashed to pieces. After a while, they crawled from the dead and returned to the team.
Apart from the dangerous terrain, there is nothing worth noting about this expedition.
Slime is worthy of being recognized as a waste in all fantasy works. Although there are a lot of them, they almost scatter when touched. The only trouble that causes the team is at best, the path it moves will leave behind slime suspected to be slugs, which will cause the ground to slip and lead to unfavorable walking.
As the team deepened, traces of slime activities became more and more frequent. The previous section was just a few sticky sections, but they are still thick objects of different colors on the ground... mainly blue and dark green. According to Sano, this is the most common and recognized slime on the mainland, which has the worst ability. Most of the other slimes in different colors live in places similar to their attributes, and a few even evolved special abilities.
Lord Demon King, the road ahead was interrupted. After walking for a while, the team was forced to stop, and as a personal guard, he returned the current situation to me instead of the skeleton who could not speak.
What about the traces of Slime's activity? I asked Sano and wiped away the snot-shaped mucus that was touched on the face. Because it went deep into the main activity area of Slime, no one in the team had to deal with these greasy sticky substances to a greater or lesser extent. Sometimes the mucus would even drip from above the cave, which was simply unprepared for defense.
Sano did not reply immediately, but instead thought seriously.
Seeing that Sano was using his brain, it was not convenient for me to interrupt her thoughts, so I had to lift up my cloak as a raincoat, hoping to drip less mucus.
The mucus here seems to be denser than before. I pursed my lips and said to myself.
My words accidentally reached Sano's ears, but they became an opportunity to break through the blind spot. Sano suddenly raised his head and used a grapple at me.
Lord Demon King, be careful! As soon as Sano's voice came out, she had already occupied my sight. Then a powerful force hit my abdomen. The strength was so strong that I didn't even have the chance to stand firm. My body broke free from the gravity and soared into the air.
Without any room for resistance, the world in my eyes flipped three times before stopping. After coming back to my senses, I realized that I was lying on the ground of the cave with Seno as my back.
The moment I was knocked down, I thought it was Seno's last silence, and then resorted to force me to force me, but it was obvious that the current fact was not the case.
The location where I was standing was now occupied by a huge blue thick object, while the skeleton soldiers standing beside them were holding wooden weapons, surrounding the former as if they were facing a great enemy.
King Slime, come on the stage!
