Chapter 13 013. Invading the Deserted Village

Slime:

An ooze-like magical creature. Usually considered a low-level monster.

In fact, the magical structures in slimes are very complex, and many scholars specialize in dissecting them for related academic research.

There is also a kind of slime pet on the market. The slime cubs that have been artificially trained are very cute and have a gentle personality. They are loved by girls and the price on the market is not low.

However, the slime group living in the wild has developed a sense of community and will actively attack outsiders, so they cannot be captured and sold.

Walking through the forest, when Jialan saw the deserted village for the first time, she fell in love with this village full of historical traces.

Every stone house has a courtyard wall, and outside the courtyard wall is a walking path. The courtyard wall is about 70 to 80 centimeters high. The spacing between the houses is very uniform, like squares neatly inlaid on the ground.

The entire village is surrounded by forests. Due to long-term abandonment, many plants have grown into the interior of the village, but the overall structure is well preserved.

The furniture in the stone house had rotted into debris, and even its basic shape no longer existed, leaving it empty.

The exploration team was divided into two groups, starting from the outside of the village and going inward step by step.

"Sir, McQueen successfully dealt with two of them." Mag walked out of the stone house, "The room we searched is still not there, there is a third one."

"Maybe there are only a few in the whole village." Walli smiled.

"Don't take it lightly. The animal bones left on the roadside don't lie. I can already feel the turbulent magic power in front of me." Jialan tightened the oak staff in her hand, "Maybe they have discovered the intruder and reminded McQueen.

Come closer to us."

"Okay, sir."

Mag blew the wooden whistle, and the short and sharp whistle echoed in the sky of the village.

Tweet——

Maishi pulled out his long sword and shook away the transparent mucus remaining on it in disgust.

Slime is originally colored, but after death, the body will become transparent as the magic power escapes.

"It's a whistle, the captain signals us to get closer."

"Let's go, maybe the lord has discovered something." McQueen put the arrow back into his quiver, jumped directly out of the window and jumped from the second floor. When he landed, he rolled and released his force, and his movements were as nimble as a tabby cat.

Maishi, on the other hand, roughly rubbed the outer wall with his long sword, reducing his falling speed and falling to the ground.

After the two teams met on the main road of the village, they accelerated towards the center of the village under the leadership of Jialan.

The few slimes they encountered along the way were easily killed by Mag and the others, unable to even resist and struggle.

However, Jialan's expression was serious. As the saying goes, there must be monsters when something goes wrong. It is impossible for such a big village to have just so many slimes. Their resistance is too weak.

Judging from this intensity, it is impossible for slimes to thrive in the jungle until now.

"Be careful ahead, there may be an ambush." ​​Jialan reminded everyone. Magic lines were outlined on the top of the staff, and he was already ready to cast the spell.

After bypassing a stone house, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up and they arrived at the center of the village.

This is an open space that was once used for villagers' activities. The entire ground is paved with gray-white rocks and covers an area of ​​about 500 square meters. It is very eye-catching in the lush green scenery.

What's even more striking is that there are more than fifty slimes of different colors gathered on the stone surface. They form a strange pattern and gather together. The magic wave that Jialan felt before was emanating from here.

"What are they doing?"

Jialan's shallow experience prevented her from judging what was happening in front of her. Although the servants summoned by the system had good learning abilities, they did not have much knowledge reserves other than basic literacy skills.

At the critical moment, Vali Tonggai, the oldest and most knowledgeable pharmacist, stood up and came.

"Sir, look at the stone floor to see if there are any dents. If I guessed correctly, they should be using the magic circle carved on the ground to perform magic rituals. It seems that... we have reached a critical moment."

The magical light blooming on the slimes is clearly visible. They use their bodies as a medium to form magic lines that together form a larger pattern, somewhat similar to a spell model.

Strong magic power fluctuations stirred the airflow and radiated outward in waves. Everyone had a vague feeling of bad premonition.

"Magic ritual? Why do they do this?" Jialan frowned in confusion.

Wall-E shook his head, "I don't know, but it must be beneficial to them, otherwise the slimes wouldn't take the initiative to do it."

"It's good for them, but it's not good for us. Destroy the magic ritual for me!"

With the purpose of occupying the deserted village, Jialan decisively ordered Mag to stop the ceremony from proceeding, and even wanted to activate the magic power to go on a rampage and annihilate all the slimes in one fell swoop, saving the trouble of taking action.

Whoosh—

McQueen was the first to respond, and the arrow flew straight into the slime at the front of the circle. The arrow penetrated the body without any hindrance and pierced the stone floor.

The strange thing is that the slime that was penetrated by the arrow did not react at all, and the magic lines were not interrupted due to the death of the slime, as if the body only existed as a tool to connect the magic lines.

Such a scene made Walli, who was observing from the side, break into a cold sweat.

"Oops! The ceremony has come to an end. There is not much we can do. Sir, for your safety, I suggest you evacuate the village immediately."

"no!"

Jialan shouted in a deep voice.

"If the slimes are allowed to successfully complete the ritual, our chances of occupying the village will be even smaller! We must weaken them at this time! Since they use their bodies to form magic circuits, we will forcefully disconnect them!"

As he spoke, Jialan raised his staff and filled in the last stroke of the Doppler magic pattern. Magic power surged, and the long-stored zero-ring magic acid splashed out and sprayed on many slimes.

Tsk tsk tsk!

There was a violent reaction immediately upon contact, accompanied by a pungent smell, and the slime body that was sprinkled with acid melted like a candle.

"Sir! Your spells are so powerful!" Walli said in surprise.

"Haha~ I think so too."

Jialan shrugged, feeling a little surprised as well.

In fact, the acid splash spell is very restrained by slimes. Their slime-like bodies cannot effectively resist the corrosive effects. Even a drop of acid can burn big holes in their bodies.

"Look! The light is fading!!" McQueen shouted.

Although the magic ritual is still going on, as the slime body that built the magic pattern circuit is completely dissolved, the magic circle that lacks the operating medium has weakened.

"It seems to be working! Magma Stone, you two use your swords to cut the right side, and I will use magic to corrode the left side. Act quickly!"

"It's my lord!"

Without saying a word, Magma Stone used the big sword to destroy the slime's body against the escaping magic wave. Although it was not as effective as the acid corrosion effect of Jialan, it was still effective.

At this time, the magic ritual composed of more than fifty slimes was coming to an end. A floating vortex was generated in the center of the magic circle, absorbing the magic power of all the surrounding creatures, including the slimes' bodies.

Mag was almost affected by the whirlpool because he was too close, but it was Maishi who held his leg that prevented him from being sucked in.

"Everyone, stay back!" Jialan waved his hand and released the third splash of acid, then led the team to hide behind a stone house and wait and see what happened.

As a large amount of magic power and slime were involved in the vortex, the suction force became weaker and weaker, and the light of the magic circle gradually dimmed until it turned back into an ordinary rocky ground.

When all the slimes gather in the center, the vortex disperses, which means the ritual is completed.

Watching the scene in front of him, Walli's eyes widened and he was so surprised that he stammered in his words.

"Yes...he is the king of slimes!"
Chapter completed!
