Slime Immortal.

Chapter 48 Slime will split

early morning.

The sky was gray, but at least it didn't rain.

The rotten smell emanating from the swamp became increasingly oppressive, like a stone pressing on the heart of every monster.

The moss monsters in the farm have lost their appetite. Even if the stinging bees bring their favorite rotten moss leaves to their mouths, they are too lazy to take a bite.

And under the oak swamp, the crocodile Xiao Ka quietly surfaced and carefully looked at the busy stinging bees, beetles carrying goods and slimes jumping everywhere in the territory.

Today is the third day since it joined the Swamp Demon Lord's castle.

As the lowest-ranking being here, it must always be wary of any approaching monsters, especially those little slimes that treat crocodiles as toys.

Yesterday, it saw the little slime playing with those horrible stinging bees and using beetles as stones to step on.

It's really terrible.

Uh...

Today, I will try my best not to become a toy of the slime.

It observed quietly for a long time, and inexplicably missed the time when it and Wang developed the swamp together.

It seemed that as long as the king was around, all the things that scared the crocodiles in the swamp were not so scary anymore.

Kaka...

What is Wang doing today?

Its little eyes looked up at the oak house high up.

He must be undergoing the arduous King's Trial.

……

Inside the tree house, a ball of slime was lying on a bed of leaves and snoring.

It was unknown how long it took before Chen Yu gradually woke up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was already noon.

His hazy consciousness suddenly cleared up.

"Oh no, did I get promoted?"

Last night he rode his little Kaka to explore deeper into the swamp and finally gathered enough experience to level up. Unexpectedly, he became groggy as soon as he returned to the castle. He only remembered climbing up the tree house by instinct and then fell asleep completely.

After jumping around and observing, the body was still the same size, the sweet life fluid and hallucinogenic factors were still flowing in the gel, and the stomach acid was churning in time, bubbling and making gurgling sounds.

If there is no change in the body, then what has been promoted?

He subconsciously looked at the panel.

Ok?
Split?

Um--!
Split?!
……

Along the Bee Forest Road, Arno took advantage of the fact that there was no rain today and followed the poisonous bees on the way back to the castle, preparing to report the progress of the expedition to the boss.

Recently, many adventurers have gone south to hunt Corrupted Lizardmen, earning double bounties from the Rotten Moss Tribe and the Adventurer's Guild, but they are only in the form of small teams, and generally speaking, they do not pose much threat to the Scaled Claw Tribe.

He took the opportunity to lobby the guild adventurers with the prestige of "Miracle" Arno, and has already gathered a group of dozens of adventurers in Iron Boot Town. If all goes well, they will be able to follow the Lizardmen south to fight tomorrow.

Such a big thing must be reported to the boss.

This is a good opportunity to come and get a few injections.

Otherwise, my heart will always feel itchy and I will always feel that petrification is about to recur.

He quickly returned to the foggy area along the familiar path, stretched out his hand to explore, and was not obstructed, so he entered the fog smoothly.

"Boss, I'm back."

Arno shouted towards the tree house. While waiting for the boss to come down, he looked curiously at the monsters busy in the castle.

Ok?
He suddenly discovered that there was a small crocodile in the swamp.

Could it be the boss’s pet?

However, the crocodile did not seem to welcome his arrival.

And judging from its appearance, it must be very ferocious, and might even reach out to bite him.

After all, it is a pet raised by the devil, so it is normal for it to be ferocious. Fortunately, it is not a three-headed dog from hell.

Wait, that doesn't seem right either. The crocodile shape might just be its disguise... Just as Arno was lost in thought, a little slime hopped down from the treehouse.

At first he thought it was a small slime living in the tree, but he didn't expect that the small slime was lifted up by the tree roots as soon as it landed on the ground and fell into his arms.

"Good morning."

Chen Yu's voice suddenly rang in his mind. Arno was startled and then came to his senses.

"Boss... why... have you shrunk?"

While Arno was surprised, he felt that the little boss seemed to lack some of the devil's majesty.

"Isn't it normal for slimes to split?"

"It seems so."

But why didn't he remember that there was a species of split slime in the swamp forest? Most of them were ordinary slime slimes.

"What are you doing here?"

Arno hurriedly told him about the expedition and expressed his concerns at the end.

"I have a feeling those corrupted lizardmen won't be very quiet... Tomorrow's expedition might not go smoothly."

"Yeah... I'll watch."

"You will take my split body back later. I will check the signal."

"Signal? Oh."

The boss is saying some weird devilish code words again.

After an acupuncture treatment in the castle, Arno, feeling relieved, went back with his palm-sized boss in his arms.

He still didn't know what the slime in his arms meant.

Maybe it can save his life at a critical moment.

While Chen Yu watched Arno leave, he also shared the view of the little slime in Arno's arms.

Lv.1's fission and proliferation is still very weak. Consuming 10% of his gel can only split out an individual with 5% of his attributes and one other talent, and it will occupy his body load at all times.

But the magic of this talent lies not in how powerful the split individuals are, but in the various wonderful uses that can be extended from it.

For example, it can be used as an automatic translator, so you can communicate smoothly without having to touch others.

For example, you can let the split individual carry his innate life absorption, and use it as a blood pack to save lives when necessary.

The loss of a split individual is nothing to him. He can quickly replenish the lost gel by absorbing life energy.

More importantly, the split individual is like a camera connected to him, allowing him to see the outside world while squatting in the castle.

Unfortunately, this connection is limited by distance.

As Arno left the swamp forest and went out of the river bank, the little slime's vision became increasingly blurred and laggy until it could no longer be seen at all.

The distance was further than he had imagined, but still far from the adventurer town on the other side.

“We have to continue upgrading.”

……

At night, in the tent of the Scaled Claw tribe.

The flickering bonfire cast dancing shadows on the thick tarpaulin. Three or four lizardmen were right beside it, their faces invisible behind the shadows.

"Priest, tomorrow, those traitors and greedy humans will come to fight."

"Are we really not retreating?"

In the center of their crowd, a figure was squatting on a thick straw mat. It was Zuluk, the old priest of the Scale Claw Tribe, and the culprit who killed Sergash's father.

The old priest's loose eyelids drooped, and the dull scales on his body were weathered. Facing the impatient questions of these lizardmen, he just slowly raised his cloudy eyes.

"Dam, you are not devout enough to Morgul's power."

"I……"

The old priest Zuluk's face was dim in the firelight. "We Scaleclaws are not alone."

"The Rot Moss Tribe, Segash, Semeya, humans... hehe, they're all just food."

Several lizardmen were stunned and immediately understood what the old priest meant.

"ally?"
