Soul Master Manual

Chapter 26
Helong Mine.

Li Changan came here again.

It's just that compared to the busy scene when he first came, it seemed very deserted at the moment, and there was no one at a glance, let alone the original rumbling mechanical sound.

even.

Li Changan felt that the air around him was much fresher.

After communicating with Zhang Weihe and Gu Li, it was decided to ask Gu Li to suspend today's mining work in the name of "equipment update and maintenance".

In this regard.

Gu Li was very cooperative, and he didn't take the loss of the mine's shutdown for a day or a few days at all.

During the period, Zhang Weihe also mentioned that the Helong Mine would be shut down in the name of the Public Security Bureau, so that Gu Li's losses could be slightly reduced.

However, it was rejected by Li Changan.

Because it's too much fanfare.

The intervention of the Public Security Bureau will definitely scare the snake away.

Although the Public Security Bureau's investigation of individual personnel during the day may have alerted the other party, it still needs to be tried. The sooner they can reveal that they are investigating this matter, the better.

And this time he came to Helong Mine again.

On the one hand, it is to carefully investigate the location of the spirit beast that those people are selling, and what kind of spirit beast it is, so as to better understand the purpose of the other party.

On the other hand, it was because he also mentioned the spirit beast "Slime" in the ancient characters interspersed in Yang Jiande's books.

Yesterday, he encountered a clay slime in the mine tunnel.

"Little Huan, Little Douding."

Under Li Changan's call, the two little guys fell to the ground with a "slap".

Take out the dried fish and pine nuts.

Seeing this, the two little guys didn't show the expressions of excitement and joy as usual, but a look of sadness.

The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man is gone, whoops!

Xiao Huan and Xiao Douding covered their heads at the same time, looking angrily at Li Changan.

The expressions of the two of them directly made Li Changan laugh angrily.

Unhappily said: "It's just to investigate the spirit beasts in the mine, not to send you two little things to die."

"Meow~~" (That's not the same.)
"Investigation, do you understand the investigation? The kind that you can run if you can't beat it."

Li Changan was convinced.

"Meow?" o_o
Oh yes.

Can run!

The two little guys who reacted didn't hold back anymore, they sat on the ground holding the dried fish and pine nuts and started talking.

After killing three small dried fish in a row, Xiao Huan patted his stomach contentedly.

"belch--"

"Are you full? You can go on the road when you are full." Li Changan stood up and patted the back to the city on his body.

d(д)
On, on the road?
"Hahahaha—to tease you, let's go."

Li Chang'an showed a smile of "returning the city", and entered the bottomless Cage Chang mine again.

With the experience of meeting clay slime yesterday and the absence of miners, the speed this time is much faster than yesterday.

Soon back to the No. 3-14 mine road.

"Ok?"

Under the light of the flashlight, Li Changan quickly noticed that the pile of mud left by the clay slime yesterday had disappeared!

Even.

The mud will soon blend with the surrounding rocks, debris, etc., or simply dry and dissipate into dust, but it's only been a day.

the most important is.

The construction of this mine has already been suspended, and there should be no miners coming in.

But on the ground now, not a single bit of clay slime remains.

If it wasn't for the traces of Xiao Huan's battle from yesterday, Li Chang'an would have thought he had found the wrong place.

After pausing on the spot for a while, Li Changan still decided to go deeper.

swish - swish -

The "rustling" sound of footsteps rubbing against the gravel-covered ground echoed in the mine tunnel.

The length of this mine tunnel is much deeper than Li Changan imagined.

I don't know how long it took.

Da da da.
That familiar movement reappeared again.

Following the dim light of the flashlight, the familiar clay slime reappeared in Li Changan's sight.

only.

This is not the one from yesterday.

"Sure enough, there is not only one clay slime in this mine." Li Changan thought to himself.

The conjecture in my heart has been confirmed.

"Meow!"

Xiao Huan sprawled on the ground with all fours, with a bad expression on his face.

"Goo!!"

It's different from the one I met yesterday.

This clay slime became fluctuating after seeing Li Changan and Xiao Huan, especially after the flashlight beam shone on it.

Bubbles bulged from it one by one, and then burst suddenly, making a crisp sound.

On its body, the soil also began to squirm slowly, and under its agitation, the gravel surrounding the ground gathered towards its body little by little.

Li Changan's eyes flashed.

"Dancing Claw!"

"Meow!"

Xiao Huan immediately understood Li Chang'an's meaning, slammed the ground with all four limbs, grabbed the flying sand, and jumped out with a "swoosh".

"Goo!!"

Sensing the crisis, the clay slime roared violently, and his figure swelled rapidly.

But
Swish! ! !
Seeing the sharp blade flashing away, the clay slime just stayed there in the middle of roaring.

next second.

The body collapsed suddenly, and with the splash of mud, it hit the ground with a "bang".

With yesterday's experience, Xiao Huan's shot this time is more crisp and neat.

Even though Li Changan didn't adjust its efficiency value, Xiao Huan's attack power was already quite impressive among spirit beasts of the same level, having already mastered the B-level proficiency of "Dancing Claw".

the most important is.

This clay slime is not as strong as yesterday's one.

"Meow~~"

Xiao Huan stepped on the catwalk and walked back with a relaxed expression.

Halfway through, I still didn't forget to glance back at the mud on the ground.

That's it?

"Look at how proud you are."

Li Changan scolded with a smile, but he was quite relieved in his heart.

Whether it's him or Xiao Huan, they are gradually moving towards a qualified spirit master and a qualified spirit beast.

Da da -- da da --

just.

The joy had not been on their faces for a long time, and rustling movements appeared in the mine again.

"Meow?" (Anything else?)
Xiao Huan, who heard the movement, was full of fighting spirit, the pig mastiff passed the trial, turned around, opened his posture, and looked in the direction where the movement came from.

"Squeak!" (There's that too!)
sudden.

Xiaodouding pointed to the other side of the mine tunnel.

There, too, there was movement.

Ok?
Li Changan immediately shone the light of the flashlight.

I see.

On both sides of the mine, at the gap between the ground and the rock wall, a mass of soft mud was slowly squeezed out of the gap.

"Gulu Gulu" is bubbling.

"And there!"

Li Changan shone the beam of light into the distance, and his complexion gradually darkened.

grumbling-

As if entering a swamp, more and more mud was squeezed out from the cracks in the rocks.

One, two, three.
The number of clay slimes that appeared in their sight also increased rapidly.

in the dark.

There are more and more pairs of shimmering eyes.

Xiao Douding ran directly into Li Changan's pocket, covering his eyes, not daring to look at it anymore.

Scared the mouse to death.

How can there be so many? !

Li Changan did not expect such a result.

"Meow, meow."

Xiao Huan, who was still in high spirits a second ago, became a little sluggish at this moment, and slowly took two steps back.

Withdraw or not?
"hold on."

Li Changan, who originally wanted to retreat, noticed the clay slimes that appeared, and it seemed that they were not the target.

But
The mud left by the previous clay slime on the ground!
I saw these extruded clay slimes, as if they had lost their souls, swarming towards the pile of dirt.

Soon.

A large number of clay slimes huddled together, lying on the ground, wriggling crazily.

Rao Li Changan was mentally prepared, and couldn't help feeling horrified when he saw this scene.

"Meow, meow?" (What are they doing?)
Xiao Huan's expression was a little stiff, he turned his head and asked intermittently.

Li Changan opened his mouth, but the words got stuck in his throat but he couldn't say anything.

After a while, he whispered in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Cannibalism."

This kind of situation cannot be said to exist in the world of spirit beasts, but it is very rare.

After all, tiger poison does not eat its children.

He also understood why the mud left by that clay slime yesterday disappeared without a trace.

although.

The clay slime's spiritual core was taken away by him.

But for other clay slimes, the minerals in the mud left behind are also a kind of food with high nutritional value.

Maybe for them.

Absorbing ore, minerals in the mud, and sucking the residual minerals of the same kind have the same meaning.

But this also.
hum-

As if someone threw a cannon into the already unsettled swamp, the clay slimes gathered together completely exploded after "sharing" the mud on the ground.

Started to attack the same kind beside him uncontrollably.

For a moment, mud splashed.

Li Changan hurriedly hid aside with Xiao Huan.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he was suddenly shocked.

A bone-piercing, familiar chill rose from the tailbone.

He murmured, "Instigated manipulation?"

He was vaguely familiar with this feeling.

There seemed to be whispers in his ears.

"Clay slime, homogeneous"

PS: Friends, tomorrow Tuesday, please follow up, it is quite important.
