Witch Special

Using water to break rock isn't a new practice. Blasting operations are inherently dangerous, and the procurement and use of explosives is laborious. To increase inherent safety, many mines now use hydraulic blasting to break up rock masses. While Lin Zhenxi hasn't worked as a miner, having been born in the age of information explosion, he naturally knows a thing or two.

So Lin Zhenxi immediately thought of driving the radiation-resistant water slime into the cracks of the magic ore, and then expanding from the inside to burst the cracks, so as to achieve the purpose of breaking the entire magic ore.

Lin Zhenxi didn't like to waste time on things. After a brief discussion with her five parallel consciousnesses, she felt the idea was feasible and began to act. She summoned a large number of flowing slimes, having them envelop the magic ore and penetrate every crack in it.

Thanks to Lin Zhenxi's deliberate cultivation, the number of flowing slimes in the other world where Lin Zhenxi raised her familiars was almost countless, and she no longer needed to cultivate them on site. With these simple, unintelligent summoned creatures, Lin Zhenxi had almost no limit to the number of them she could summon, so she easily summoned enough flowing slimes to completely envelop the entire piece of magic ore she intended to explode.

Magical ores weren't actually very hard, otherwise the Orcs wouldn't be able to break them with their crude pickaxes. The water slimes, on the other hand, could spray high-pressure water from their bodies, easily piercing steel plates, so crushing these magical ores wouldn't be a problem.

But Lin Zhenxi had underestimated the feeding instincts of lower-level magical creatures. They would consciously devour anything with magical power, and the magical ore that Lin Zhenxi had them handling was practically their favorite food. Even the passive energy radiation emitted by the magical ore was enough to fill the water slimes, let alone the magical ore itself.

So soon, Lin Zhenxi discovered that the flowing slimes she summoned were no longer under her control. They did not crack the magic ore as Lin Zhenxi requested, but started eating it directly on the spot.

How do slimes digest food? Basically, they swallow the food, suffocating it if it's alive. Once it's dead, they then create a magically deficient environment within their bodies, drawing out the magic from the food. Once the magic is drained from the food, the object, now without its mystical protection, is quickly corroded by the slime's acidic environment, turning into residue that is excreted.

However, these magic ores are almost entirely polymers of magic power. As the slimes consume the magic ores, the magic power of this batch of slimes begins to rise uncontrollably.

Slimes have no concept of being full or stuffed. As long as there is food, they will keep eating. Even if they fill their bodies up and cannot move, they will not give up their craving for food.

Under this instinctive trend, this group of flowing slimes absorbed a large amount of magic power from the magic ore, and their own properties also changed.

Slime's body structure is very simple, which means it is very easy to mutate. The many types of slimes that exist in nature are different variants of slimes that have evolved according to their different environments.

The most typical representatives are lava slime and mercury slime, and there are also swamp slime and lightning slime. In short, there are many types.

And now, as these flowing slimes begin to devour these magic ores with energy radiation in large quantities, their life forms are also changing rapidly, transforming into a form that is more suitable for survival in magic ores.

The energy radiation from the magic ores was simply absorbed by the flowing slimes, but it didn't disappear. When the slimes absorbed the magic ores, they essentially began to transform into the magic ores' properties. In other words, the slimes also began to carry energy radiation.

Regardless of whether you can win or not, joining is the right thing to do. This is how creatures like slimes have always lived.

But this brought great trouble to Lin Zhenxi. Because of the mutation of the slimes, the energy radiation that had been contained leaked out again. Moreover, because the slimes themselves also carried radiation, these radiations began to become very unstable, and the intensity would even become stronger as the slimes continued to devour magic power.

At this stage, it is probably difficult to continue calling these slimes water slimes. Instead, they should be called magic slimes, or magic radiation slimes.

In short, it was a very troublesome thing, because Lin Zhenxi couldn't even remove the magic power to unsummon them and send them back to their original world. The magic ore was a product of this other world. The slimes that swallowed the magic ore had gained an anchor in this world, and were regarded as natives by this world, and would no longer be excluded from it.

Hiss, I feel like I have created something extraordinary.

Even more remarkable things were yet to come. These energy-radiating slimes mutated due to their constant devouring, their size and food intake increasing accordingly. Despite the enormous size of the magical ore, these enlarged mutated slimes began to crowd each other out. This crowding soon turned into mutual aggression. Under the nesting doll-like devouring, these slimes began a process of fusion evolution, and soon evolved from many individuals into a single entity.

Lin Zhenxi didn't intervene to stop the process, as she felt that this single mutated slime would be easier to deal with than dealing with so many mutated slimes. Although this slime had grown enormous and its body was densely packed with cores, according to the characteristics of slimes, Lin Zhenxi had to destroy all the cores to completely kill it. However, there was no doubt that these slimes had already integrated together, becoming a mutated Slime King.

After devouring its own kind, the giant slime returned its attention to the now-shrunken magic ore, continuing to break it down and devour it. Perhaps due to its integrated power, the slime's decomposition speed had greatly increased. It wouldn't be long before it completely devoured the entire piece of magic ore.

So the problem facing Lin Zhenxi became how she should deal with this mutated giant slime that has become super dangerous.

The slime's energy radiation was now so powerful that it was dispersing the surrounding free elemental particles. Lin Zhenxi couldn't even monitor its condition through the glass altar. To determine the situation, Lin Zhenxi had to personally conduct physical reconnaissance, wearing the thickest magic shield. Even the Eye of Truth couldn't withstand the energy radiation from the mutant slime.

This is probably a lethal dose. People without a certain level of magical attainments cannot even get close to it and will be killed on the way by the energy radiation.

After devouring the magic ore, the accumulated magic power within this mutant slime transformed it into an extremely dangerous source of energy radiation and a massive magic bomb. Fortunately, it was only a slime, and the increase in magic power didn't significantly increase its mysteriousness or mutate it to any greater intelligence. Otherwise, Lin Zhenxi would have been completely helpless against it.

That's right, Lin Zhenxi actually still has a way to deal with it now. As long as he stops treating it as a small-time slime and treats it as a special hero unit, Lin Zhenxi can actually prepare a special familiar contract for it and use the contract to restrict its actions.

The biggest difference between magically summoned creatures and familiar contract summons is that familiar summons are always specific, while magical creature summons are not guaranteed to be specific. Since they're not your own, you don't feel bad if they die. Magical creature summons are basically the same as cannon fodder summons, except that Lin Zhenxi now has better cannon fodder, so he doesn't think much of magical creatures as cannon fodder anymore.

The familiar contract is different. The familiar can become stronger as the master becomes stronger, and the relationship between the two parties is mutually beneficial.

At the same time, the constraints of the familiar contract on the familiar are much stronger than the simple summoning of magical creatures. Of course, this constraint is also on both parties. As the master of the familiar, Lin Zhenxi must fulfill the obligations he promised when signing the familiar contract if he wants to drive the familiar. The familiar also needs to offer its loyalty to the master who has fulfilled his obligations, and cannot be hypocritical and say one thing and do another.

Lin Zhenxi has not signed a contract with a familiar that is too smart so far, and the requirements of those magical creatures are very simple. To be more precise, their brains are underdeveloped and their thinking is very simple, in fact, they are stupid, so the requirements of the familiar contracts they sign for their master Lin Zhenxi are generally very simple. Lin Zhenxi can easily satisfy them, and they must sell their lives to Lin Zhenxi.

For example, Sniff. The price of Lin Zhenxi's familiar contract with it was just to give it a few shiny things every time he summoned it. Can this be considered a request?

Although the mutated slime in front of him was very strong, even to the point that it was difficult for Lin Zhenxi to kill it, it had no brain after all and had an insatiable desire to eat, so it would be too easy for Lin Zhenxi to control it.

As long as the familiar contract is signed and the slime's demands are met, Lin Zhenxi's orders will be binding on it again. At that time, Lin Zhenxi will get a very powerful mutant slime thug, and maybe he can use it to mine other magic ores. It can be said that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

However, the slime has not been eaten yet, and it is not yet the right time to sign the familiar contract, so Lin Zhenxi has to wait a little longer.

It’s okay, Lin Zhenxi still has some patience.
