I became the slime toy of the evil dragon girl?

Ian felt dirty and no longer pure.

Its dark blue gelatinous body was now covered with fine, light black lines, like a spider web.

Those were traces of erosion caused by the absorption of corrupting magic, which were slowly being repaired by the [Magic Body], but at a very slow pace.

Ian lay helplessly in the pool. The corrupted crystals at the bottom of the pool had mostly disappeared, leaving only a small amount floating around in the spring, but they would slowly be swallowed up and into his stomach.

The valley was in ruins, but the attack stopped.

Lilith landed by the spring, her silver hair slightly disheveled, breathing softly, and looked at him anxiously: "Your Excellency, are you alright?"

Kiki and the battered rock monster also gathered around.

The cunning slime swayed, floated to the surface, scooped up a lump of corrupted crystal, and said, "I'm fine. This stuff is delicious. Do you want some, Lilith?"

Seeing that Ian was still interested in sharing the food, Lilith relaxed her tense expression, then looked at Ian with a disgusted expression, shook her head and said, "Shadow is the answer. I don't need corrupted magic."

Ian failed to deceive Lilith Redstone and turned to look at the still, withered tree.

At this moment, the green leaves on the half of the strange tree that was full of life seemed even brighter.

The withered half of the tree, with its charred bark slowly peeling away, was revealing the slightly dull wood core underneath.

On the wooden core, there was a hideous human face, but the hideousness on the face was slowly turning calm.

Ian understood that those were the ancient druids who guarded the spring.

A calm and relieved feeling emanated from the tree, replacing the previous sadness and anger.

"He's quiet now," Lilith whispered.

Ian nodded.

He heard a faint but clear message of gratitude and guidance from the will within the pool, thanking Ian for bringing purification, before it dissipated.

As a result of absorbing the corrupted magic, Ian gained a new talent on his stats.

Corruption Resistance LV.3

It's not corruption affinity, but resistance.

However, Ian didn't want to use that foul-smelling ability. Being a sweet and soft slime was fine; it would be troublesome if it turned into some kind of stinky mud.

My maximum health has unknowingly risen to nearly 3000 points, and it is still increasing at a rate of eight or nine points per second.

Ian tried activating Devour at full power and instead of targeting the Corruption Crystals, he aimed at the Fountain of Life, gulping away at it.

The maximum health can increase by about 100 points per second.

But Ian stopped after only a dozen seconds.

He was worried that if he drained the Fountain of Life that he had finally obtained, the Sweet Forest project would most likely fail completely.

After all, the spring water only looked to be about ten meters in diameter, and it didn't seem like it could withstand my full power of absorption.

Ian swam back to shore.

We didn't get to drink enough!

Ian looked back at the Fountain of Life with lingering interest. The water had been initially purified, and some life-giving crystals remained at the bottom of the pool, reflecting the emerald green color of the water.

However, before it can be used in the Sweet Forest, it will probably need to be purified once more, as there is still some corrupting magic inside that has not been completely cleaned up.

If used rashly, its corrupting magic will only accelerate the death of the forest.

Humans would be even less able to drink it. Without a divine skill like Ian's [Devour] or resistance to corruption, they would most likely become assimilated by the corrupting magic, just like this ancient druid.

After all, Ian was deeply impressed by the magic that carried the scent of death and infection.

Fortunately, the giant tree by the spring, which was transformed from a dead ancient druid, can slowly purify the spring water.

However, the tree itself had been rotten before, so it could not play a purifying role.

Now, just wait a couple of days, and the spring water will probably be completely clear.

It's a good time to take these two days to fully depict the magical essence of the Sweet Forest.

Ian stopped his wicked thoughts of taking two more sips of the Fountain of Life and began to feel the changes in his body.

It was discovered that, in addition to the simple increase in maximum health, the body also...

My own gelatinous body has become smoother and more bouncy, and even its elasticity has improved a lot.

Previously, I could only extend my tentacles about a meter long. If I extended them any further, my body would be torn off, so I had to rely on magical tentacles to continue extending them.

Now, Ian tried it out and was able to easily stretch it to three meters. Only when he stretched it further than three meters did he experience a slight tearing sensation in his body.

Lilith saw Ian emerge from the spring, suddenly extending tentacles twice the length of usual, reaching all the way to her feet.

Unpleasant memories flooded my mind instantly.

Like a startled kitten, Lilith darted into the giant shadow of the rock monster on the ground, only her head and eyes peeking out, staring intently at Ian's jelly tentacles.

Then he said viciously, "Damn Ian, I will never be your mount!"

Ian was a little confused. What kind of tentacle trauma syndrome is this?!

Ian retracted his tentacles and called out to Lilith, who was still huddled in the shadows, "Let's go, let's go, it's time to go back and tell Charles some good news."

However, Lilith was still wary of Ian jumping on her head, and Ian, not wanting to make a fool of himself, jumped into Kiki's arms instead.

I'm used to riding in a fairy-like car, but let's try riding in a mature woman's car once in a while.

Unfortunately, although Kiki is much taller, the feeling of being held in her arms is far less overwhelming than with Lilith.

The group prepared to return to their camp.

Although Ian believed that such a secluded place, protected by a barrier, should make it difficult for anyone to enter.

However, out of caution, Ian still conjured a magical sensing marker in case anyone broke in.

……

……

Two hours later.

Several furtive figures crept up to the edge of the thorny path outside the Fountain of Life.

"I said, are we really going in? That huge rock monster went in and it got all black and purple." The blonde girl said with a frown, holding her sword and shield and looking nervously at the thorny passage leading to the unknown.

"We didn't get any information from the last super explosion. When we got there, all we saw were fleeing slimes and angry half-elves. We got nothing except an arrow to the knee! Damn it!" Phoebe said, recounting the team's last encounter.

She grew angrier and angrier as she spoke, tossing her long red hair and storming into the thorny path.

The dim, thorny path led nowhere, and Phoebe used her enormous wand to unleash the only spell she knew: Flash.

At this moment, Nicole followed and pulled the white-haired priest Barbara, who was completely lost in thought.

Nicole pulled back the somewhat impatient Phoebe and said softly, "Don't be so anxious, things will get better, won't they?"

Phoebe stopped and pointed ahead with her staff, saying, "Things will get better, today, just ahead! We've been watching the fairies wandering around the forest with the slimes these past few days."

Although this magical slime is incredibly amazing, we still have no idea what the monsters are up to. Our information is practically worthless, perhaps…”

Phoebe paused, then licked her lips.

"We're about to discover a huge secret; this place is special enough!"
