Slimes, a type of magical creature.
The bearded old man was helped back by a few villagers. This time, he should be quiet for a few days.
"Where did all those Slimes go? Are they hiding in the ground? "
Luo Shan looked at the charcoal basin that was still burning. The popcorn around it was eaten very cleanly, even cleaner than sweeping the floor.
"Yes, but they could also be right beside our feet. The Slimes' disguise is top-notch." After the Demon King said that, the surrounding villagers quickly moved their feet, afraid that they would step on them. They did not want to end up like the bearded old man.
"Then what should we do? Use a hoe to dig them out? "Luo Shan asked the Demon King. It seemed that he had completely trusted this stranger who claimed to be an expert.
The Demon King shook his head. He stretched out a finger and shook it like a conductor. Suddenly, the fire in the charcoal basin was extinguished.
"They can hide at most five or six meters underground. Unless you plan to dig up this piece of land, it will be a waste of effort."
Hearing this, the villagers were in a dilemma. One must know that only the surface of the soil was suitable for planting crops. If the soil below thirty or forty centimeters was dug up, it would definitely affect the planting of crops. Moreover, digging five or six meters underground was not an easy task.
"Then what can we do? Please help us, or the dozens of people in our village will starve to death here. "
"Please help us."
The helpless villagers begged the Demon King.
"Yes, but I will not work for free." The Demon King said to the villagers. They were silent.
"Then how much do you want to help us destroy these Slimes?"
"As long as it is not too much, we can always gather some money."
The villagers asked.
"First, I want all of you to apologize to Mira. Secondly, you must build a sheep pen in the grassland and give her the straw you cut in the autumn. Lastly, I want a bag of salt and sugar as payment."
The Demon King said.
The villagers looked at each other, and no one said anything for a while.
"Okay, I will go back and talk to everyone. If they do not agree, even if I am alone, I will fulfill your conditions." Luo Shan replied.
"Alright, I'll tell you how to deal with the slimes after you've finished building the sheepfold …"
Luo Shan brought the villagers back. They shouted for the villagers to come out for a meeting. As they could not farm, everyone was bored, so the whole village gathered together.
The Demon King did not participate in their discussion and continued to wander through the fields.
"Master, how do you plan to deal with these Slimes?" Reina couldn't help but ask. In any case, there were only the two of them now. Master would probably tell her.
"If it were you, what would you do?" the Demon King asked.
Reina thought for a moment and said, "Burn it with fire?"
"Fire? Indeed, most are afraid of the high temperature of flames, but Slimes aren't. They aren't afraid of flames. They don't know magic, but they can produce a bubble-like skin that can be used to isolate high or low temperatures," the Demon King explained.
Hearing that, Reina fell into deep thought. She had just seen that the Slimes were still alive and kicking even after being pierced through. This proved that physical attacks were useless against them. So how should she deal with these guys?
"They can be considered as your kind." The Demon King suddenly asked. Reina was surprised because it didn't seem to be talking to her, but to the kitten at her feet.
Strange? Is master the kind of person who can talk to pets?
However, in the next second, something that surprised Reina happened. The kitten spoke human language.
"This shouldn't be. There is a huge difference between me and them."
The kitten suddenly said.
"Hey!! Mikeji spoke!! "
Reina was shocked. She didn't know that the kitten could speak.
"See, I really scared her," the kitten said again. Reina was scared and quickly hid behind her master.
"Why can it speak master!" Reina asked in fear.
"A magician's familiar," the Demon King said lightly, but he didn't plan to explain more.
Isn't it normal for magicians to have one or two familiars?
"So that's how it is."
Reina actually accepted this matter so quickly. She let out a sigh of relief, then squatted down and patted the kitten's head.
The kitten wagged its tail. It raised its head and looked at Reina and said, "And I'm called Wen Henjue."
"Hey? I think Mikeji sounds much better. You can be called Mikeji. "
Reina insisted. The kitten looked at the Demon King. The Demon King didn't say anything. Does this mean that he acquiesced?
Sigh, it can't be helped. After all, it's someone else's servant. Now even its name has been taken away.
The kitten's tail drooped down.
"Then do you know how to kill a slime?" the Demon King asked.
"I don't know. I know very little about them," Mikeji replied.
The Demon King was silent for a few seconds. The kitten Mikeji was a bit nervous. Then, the Demon King found a rock and sat down. Reina sat in front of him.
"Slime is a very ancient species. According to my understanding and research, at least tens of millions of years ago, they looked like this." The Demon King used a branch to draw a circle on the ground to represent the slime.
"Tens of millions of years, isn't that a long time?" Reina exclaimed. Of course, she was just exclaiming that this number was very big. She couldn't imagine how long thousands of years was.
"Logically speaking, this should be a creature that has evolved to the extreme. But that's not the case. You saw it too. Their form is very primitive. They don't have any organs, no brain. Their body is an individual made up of a bunch of identical cells."
"Cells, what's that?" Reina was confused, but she could still ask questions.
"It's the unit that makes up all creatures," the Demon King explained. He didn't expect the other party to understand. Then, he pointed his palm at the circle on the ground. Soon, a blue slime emerged from the ground.
Reina didn't know that he used a mysterious magic to pull out the slime from the ground. Suddenly, a magic cube trapped the slime.
"It's because its cells are primitive enough that it has extremely strong adaptability. It can live in almost any corner of the world. They can even live like plants, relying on water and air to survive."
Reina was a bit scared, but she was also very curious. She carefully observed the little thing. It really didn't have eyes or mouth. Its transparent blue body was very strange. It didn't feel like a living creature. Instead, it felt like a man-made alchemy material.
The kitten wagged its tail. It seemed to be interested in the Demon King's words.
"Every life is formed from some primitive cells. They will slowly grow and evolve. Some will become hands, some will become feet, and finally become an individual that we are familiar with. But the slime isn't. If they have magic, then their magic can degenerate. "
With that, the Demon King snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the slime's body burst into flames.
Lena was startled and almost fell backwards. She saw the Slime's body violently moving, and its surface seemed to be boiling as it desperately emitted bubbles that covered its entire body. Soon, a thick layer of shell appeared on its surface, and in just a short minute, it had changed into a completely different appearance.
The flames disappeared. Its body was still smoking.
"Is it dead?"
Reina asked.
"You'll know when you see it for yourself," the Demon King said.
They looked at the motionless Slime. After about a minute or two, a gust of wind blew. Suddenly, its shell cracked. Slowly, the layer of shell seemed to melt. It slowly disappeared, and the blue body gradually emerged.
