Slime Immortal.

Chapter 12: Noise in the Forest
The swamp was filled with a green mist in the early morning, and the stench of decay that rose from the mud was spreading upward along the wildly growing vines.

In this soft soil, carrion monsters can dig out rotten leaves and stones deposited in old mud, and can also find the corpses of various monsters. Sometimes, slimes will even quietly poke their heads out from inside, spying on the entire world of mud and giant trees.

There were countless twisted oaks growing in the swamp. Deep in the fog, the oaks that were fought over by stinging bees and digging beetles were not uncommon in the swamp forest, but they were taller.

In the swamp under the oak tree, a black shell surfaced, and Chen Yu was patrolling the territory of the stinging bee as usual.

He looked around and finally his eyes fell on the clear footprints in the fallen leaves.

Two rows of footprints, canine plum blossom-shaped marks.

That group of demihumans again?

"What are they trying to do by going deep into the swamp forest?"

Doubts popped up in Chen Yu Jelly's mind.

Don’t be fooled by the small size and seemingly harmless appearance of these monsters in the swamp forest. They are actually capable of killing people.

Not to mention the stinger of the stinging bee, even the acid sprayed by the moss monster is difficult for ordinary creatures to defend against.

Not to mention that there are even more terrifying monsters deep in the swamp forest.

The demi-humans have nothing to do after eating, so they come to wander around the swamp forest?
Probably not that stupid.

Chen Yu guessed that either the subhumans were short of food after the winter and came out hunting in the spring, or they were looking for something in the forest.

Moreover, they often appear in the early morning, probably because they have "dark vision", which is inconsistent with his schedule, so he has not been able to see the true face of the demi-humans entering the forest.

"do not care."

Since it has been confirmed that the demi-humans will appear in the early morning, if he stays in the swamp, he should have a chance to see them.

As for now, he planned to test the power of his entry-level archery skills.

It could be said that he had a good understanding, or that the archery technique was easy to learn. He only needed four days to get started, and he also learned the basics of the sound transmission technique that was given to him.

Maybe the properties panel also played a role.

However, as time goes on, the difficulty of upgrading both skills and talents will only become higher and higher.

别看从黑铁lv.2升级到Lv.3所需的经验EXP只需要20点，只是Lv.1到Lv.2的二倍，但经验获得的难度完全不是一个等级的。

The same goes for skill talents, which require more food and practice.

But overall, it still improves faster than ordinary monks and monsters.

For Chen Yu, a lazy dog, it is both a blessing and a torture.

Maybe he wanted to be lazy, but when he started practicing Taoism, the obvious progress made him unable to stop.

He often sat in front of the thatched hut for a whole day. When Shao Qingsong came, he had to go closer to wake him up.

He searched for his target on the shore and soon set his sights on a moss monster that was leisurely nibbling on moss.

It's up to you.

Chen Yu calmed his mind, silently recited the Dharma, and began to look for an opportunity in the dark.

There are many ways to cast Taoist spells, the most typical of which are imperial decrees, mantras and true words.

Among them, "imperial decree" is the most convenient and quickest way to cast a spell, and it is also the easiest to detect. Simply put, it is to directly shout the name of the Taoist spell.

If a great and righteous person casts a spell with an imperial decree, it often has the effect of deterring evildoers.

But Xu Xuantian is often called the lost generation of young monks. They all agree that the use of edicts to cast spells is not only childish but also quite shameful and not suitable for monks with thin skin.

Chen Yu wanted to shout "Little Archery" in a cool way, and then take the head of the stinging bee within ten steps. Anyway, there was no cultivator from Xu Xuantian here who could see it.

But unfortunately, Slime has no vocal organs. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that he doesn’t have that factory setting.

Another way of casting spells, called "Nian Jue", requires one to make various mysterious hand seals.

Do slimes have hands?

If so, he could spend half a day barely managing to solidify the gel body into the shape of a hand, but trying to form hand seals would be too difficult for him.

Then for him, the only way to cast spells left is the slowest "mantra".

The "mantra" requires the caster to silently recite the method in order to seek the opportunity to cast the spell. No matter how skilled the caster is, it will take at least three or four seconds.

It is also a spellcasting method rarely used by monks.

而小箭术Lv.1的施法时间大致要6-8秒，Lv.2才有希望降低至4秒。

The cultivators of Xu Xuantian divided Taoism into five realms: initial understanding, mastery, perfection, subtle application and transformation of the Taoism by the heart.

It's quite troublesome to remember, but they actually correspond to Lv.1 to Lv.5 in the skill list.

Once the Taoist magic is mastered to perfection, that is, reaches Lv. 3, the cultivator can try to use a higher level of spellcasting - "Heartbeat".

That is to say, follow your heart, and when your heart moves, the Dharma will emerge.

Lv.3的道法能将施法时间压缩至2-3秒，Lv.4要1-2秒，Lv.5的运化由心才算完全随心所动，实现瞬发。

Of course, the various methods in the universe are not all strictly based on this. Different levels often result in differences in casting distance and power.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of Taoism, the better.

It was the first time that Chen Yu used his slime body to perform archery, and he was not very proficient yet. Before he could finish reciting the spell, the swamp next to him began to bubble, and the water ball condensed in front of the God of Acha burst along with the bubble.

I heard a noise.

amount……

Accident, just an accident.

Come again.

Chen Yu aimed at the moss monster three meters away from him on the shore and silently recited the spell.

A ball of clear water the size of a baby's fist gradually condensed and stretched in front of him, forming the shape of an arrow.

As soon as he finished reciting, the water arrow shot out and arrived in front of the moss monster in an instant.

Bang... moss and soil splashed everywhere, and the moss monster three meters away was blown away. When it fell to the ground, only a layer of skin was left.

"What a terrifying power." Chen Yu was surprised.

If the minor archery technique has this kind of power, it is hard to imagine what the water archery technique would be like, which is even more powerful and more difficult to learn.

"Om..."

The vibration of the stinging bee's wings attracted Chen Yu's attention. He saw that the noise caused by the water arrow alarmed the stinging bees and digging beetles in the woods. The two sides looked at each other and thought it was a trick used by the other party. As a result, they started fighting again early in the morning.

Suddenly, poisonous stings rained down around the oak tree. As the black beetles climbed up the tree, they were knocked down by the stings. Then they turned over and continued to climb up, even more vigorously.

Chen Yu hid in the swamp and watched the show secretly, thinking of taking advantage of the situation and attacking the digging beetles from behind.

The acid in his gel began to bubble up at the thought of the delicious insect meat.

He admitted that he was greedy.

But no foodie can resist this delicacy, without exception.

It's also a good opportunity to try out the power of archery.

He was swimming towards the edge, but before he got close to the group of beetles, he seemed to hear some noisy sounds coming from the distance of the forest.

There were hurried footsteps, the sound of clubs waving, and some shouts he couldn't understand...

"Are those demihumans?"

They turned back, chasing something.

Is it prey?

Chen Yu stopped thinking about attacking the beetle, stopped behind a rock, and surreptitiously stuck his head out to observe the movements in the distance.

I saw a few black shadows with blurred outlines quietly appearing in the thick fog in the early morning, followed by the hoarse and rapid chasing and biting sounds of wild beasts, which suddenly tore the silence!
