Chapter 557 The Thing That Should Have Disappeared
Noticing that the giant slime was moving, everyone present, including Lei Xiao and others in the distance, couldn't help showing a look of vigilance on their faces.
Needless to say, facing the full attack of the fourth-order powerhouse, but still unscathed, it is enough to show that he is definitely not a kind person.
"By the way, I remember that the ordinary slimes I saw in the illusion of fear before were quite cute, but this huge guy in front of me has nothing to do with cuteness, on the contrary, it gives people a full sense of oppression."
Looking at the wriggling giant figure, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself: "If that girl Chaoyan sees this scene, I'm afraid she'll have to roll her eyes immediately and wet the bed on the spot." right?"
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he couldn't laugh or cry.
The giant slime had already stopped wriggling, and returned to a still state.
However, no matter from the opponent's form or position, nothing has changed.
"What did it do just now?"
Puzzled, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe.
Under the illumination of the shining magic light ball, Lei Xiao noticed it.
It turned out that at the lower center of the gray-black giant slime's body, a large closed opening had already appeared.
And, from its translucent body, it can still be vaguely seen.
There is a large amber liquid mixed with oak barrel fragments, which is slowly sinking.
"Good guy, is this its mouth? So it just turned over just now."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips slightly.
"You nasty freak, not only drank Lao Tzu's wine, but didn't even leave the wine barrel for Lao Tzu!"
Marquis Rose, who also noticed this point, was so angry that his mouth was crooked, and a wave of extremely good magic power suddenly surged out of him.
However, just as the bearded and staring Marquis Rose was about to cast another attack spell.
This time, the giant slime on the opposite side moved first.
I saw that its huge body, which was squeezed by the ceiling and the ground, was somewhat deformed, and suddenly began to tremble extremely fast.
Immediately, the entire wine cellar shook violently.
"Giant wooden wall!"
Looking at the opponent's sudden ready-to-go posture, Marquis Rose, who was suspended in mid-air, immediately switched spells and began to use defensive spells.
For a moment, under the high-pitched singing of Marquis Rose.
As the mud splashed, rows of extremely thick tree trunks began to rise one after another, forming a large-scale wooden city wall, completely separating the enemy and us.
However, after a while, as the vibration intensified, the giant slime did not launch any attack for a long time.
In the end, Lei Xiao and the others only heard a muffled "hiccup" sound coming from the opposite side, which lasted for more than three seconds, and all the shaking came to an abrupt end.
For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but looked at each other, obviously not understanding what happened.
"My lord, that weird giant slime seems to have just hiccupped..."
After a while, Bai Wei, who looked extremely nervous, breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered to Lei Xiao.
"My lord, this is indeed the case. There is no energy fluctuation from the opponent's body."
Knotweed, who had been in a state of being ready to go, also nodded, while Hong Ye looked at the huge slime's body with a thoughtful expression.
"So that's it. In this way, the two shocks that happened upstairs in succession before, and this one just now, were all just because of the giant slime belching a few times?"
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao sniffed the smell of rotten fruit that had poured into his nostrils.
Not far away, the Marquis Rose, who also looked surprised, obviously realized this.
He first looked back at Lei Xiao, and after getting the confirmation from the latter, he lifted the protective magic.
In the next second, the huge wooden wall in front of him turned into a little bit of energy particles until it disappeared completely.
When the blocking wooden wall disappeared, I saw that the giant slime had already turned around. Judging from its slow wriggling appearance, it was obviously in a state of eating again.
"this……"
Seeing that the other party continued to misbehave in his precious wine cellar, the Marquis Rose almost fainted.
Immediately afterwards, he gritted his teeth, waved his staff in mid-air, and continued to release powerful attack magic.
All of a sudden, amidst the flying dirt, countless fierce plant-based spells shot towards the giant slime with a biting wind.
However, the result was much the same as before.
Accompanied by waves of energy surging out one after another, these powerful attacks, which are powerful enough to break mountains and crack rocks, are like tickling the opponent, but still have no substantial effect.
"Phew... this guy didn't even turn his head this time, it really drove me crazy!"
After tossing for a while, Marquis Rose, who was panting heavily, could only return to Lei Xiao's body, even though he was furious.
Then he smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Excellency, it seems that this guy is much more difficult to deal with than I imagined."
"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient, this thing is really weird."
Nodding to Marquis Rose, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's try it."
At this time, Lei Xiao noticed it with some dumbfounding.
The red rose that Marquis Rose had pinned to his skirt had long since disappeared.
However, judging from his rather embarrassing expression, he obviously didn't notice this, but he still tried to be elegant and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"My lord, please wait a moment."
Hong Yedai frowned and took a step forward, and said, "This subordinate seems to know what kind of slime this is."
"oh?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, signaling for the other party to continue talking.
Just now, Lei Xiao not only asked all the subordinates present.
Moreover, he also contacted the leaders and other main subordinates from all over the world through reading words, and described the appearance and characteristics of this giant slime in detail.
However, there was nothing to be gained. This incredible slime is undoubtedly beyond the scope of everyone's comprehension.
"My lord, if I guess correctly, this kind of slime is called devouring slime, and it is a very special type of ancient slime."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Red Ye Zhu's lips parted slightly and said: "The most important thing is that this type of ancient slime has never appeared since the blank era three thousand years ago."
"Is it another blank age three thousand years ago..."
Hearing Hong Ye's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Needless to say, before this, I have already understood.
In that unknown period of time without any records, many once glorious human nations and civilizations of other races were annihilated in this misty historical fault period.
For example, the ruins of the light elves, the enchantment area of the winged people, the furnace city of the dwarves in the gate of immortality, and the temple of the titans, etc. that I have been to.
"Although I still don't know much about that blank era, and there are still many puzzling mysteries that have yet to be solved, but I believe that as long as it continues to develop, there will always be a day when the clouds and mists will be cleared and the blue sky will be seen."
"At that time, maybe I will be able to figure out the real reason why the billion lords came to this different world, as well as the terrible catastrophe, and the prelude to the cataclysm, and the unknown behind it..."
"Of course, for me now, I still have to stand in front of me and lay a solid foundation for the upcoming terrible challenges."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Seeing Marquis Rose's astonished expression, he blurted out to Hong Ye: "It actually came from an ancient monster before the blank age? What should have disappeared has appeared in today's world? Speaking of which, how do you know all this? "
Because Marquis Rose couldn't see Hong Ye's specific strength at all, he subconsciously used the honorific title for Hong Ye.
After all, Marquis Rose clearly understands that this is a subordinate who follows His Excellency Ke Qing, so it is impossible for him to be just a low-level strong man with the secret technique of disguising his breath, right?
After a pause, the Marquis of Rose added respectfully: "You know, everything before the blank age is almost zero for our human race. After all, the ancient countries at that time have all been destroyed. "
"Your Excellency, now is not the time to talk about this."
Just when the grumpy dragon girl frowned slightly and wanted to shut up the noisy Marquis Rose, Lei Xiao waved her hand slightly, and said, "Hong Ye, continue talking."
"Yes, my lord."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye continued: "As the name suggests, Devouring Slime is a special slime that eats almost everything and is extremely gluttonous, and as it eats more and more things, Its size will also grow larger and larger, until it reaches an incredible size."
"It turned out to be like this... Just now I wondered how such a huge figure got into this underground wine cellar. It turns out that it grew up here slowly."
Ariel put her hands on her hips, and nodded in deep thought: "This is exactly the same as Taotie, an auspicious beast from another world."
Hearing the familiar words, Lei Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly.
Needless to say, the reason why Ariel knew the myths and legends of the Blue Star Daxia must have been recorded by that guy Wang Xi at that time.
"In addition, this devouring slime has two extremely troublesome characteristics. The first is that although it has only a second-order level, its outer skin will become more resilient as its size becomes larger, and it can almost make any physical Attacks and magic attacks lose their effect."
I saw Hong Ye's starry eyes flickering, while looking at the huge giant shadow.
One side added: "The second point is that in order to avoid natural enemies, it is very good at hiding its own smell. It can emit a special magic particle in the air to neutralize its own smell. Of course, when hiccupping or eating When I am too happy, I seem to forget it."
"Understood, no wonder the smell of this guy appears and disappears from time to time, making people unable to locate it at all. This is the reason."
Bai Wei at the side moved her fluffy ears and nodded thoughtfully.
"If you think about it carefully, this guy is quite similar to Yingying, except that Yingying emits a special strange sound wave to hide its own energy fluctuations, while this guy hides its own smell, and each has its own merits."
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao thought to himself again: "However, except for a very small number of races like Bai Wei's snow wolf clan, which have a special talent for distinguishing smells, even the fifth-level powerhouses can't do it." to this point.
Therefore, for the powerhouses of most races such as the human race, the significance of hiding the smell is not very great. "
"My lord, these are not the most important."
Hong Ye bowed slightly, and said to Lei Xiao: "As far as I know, the most important thing is that even if it is edible, there is a critical point for devouring slimes. Once the critical point is reached, it will be There's going to be an explosion."
Taking a deep breath, Hong Ye said solemnly: "Its power is equal to the strongest magic released by a fifth-order peak powerhouse!"
"What?! Isn't that the cellar of life root below, together with the city lord's mansion below, will be turned into ruins?!"
Hearing the sound, Marquis Rose, who was looking for the red rose on his skirt, twitched his huge body and almost lost his breath.
"If that's the case, it's the slightest result."
Wei Wei raised her willow eyebrows, Hong Ye wrote lightly.
"I didn't expect the envoys from the capital to be so vicious. They wanted to completely destroy me, the city lord, the priceless wine cellar, and the most elite guards."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and when he said this, Marquis Rose couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
It is conceivable if His Excellency Ke Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess did not visit.
Even if he could discover the clues in the wine cellar in time, he would never have imagined that this thing could explode.
At that time, the situation will naturally be self-evident.
"Okay, Hong Ye, let's talk about the solution."
Keenly observed the thick hairs on Marquis Rose's neck, and they all stood up. Lei Xiao nodded to the dragon woman, and then said: "Since this guy is extremely resistant to physics and magic, his weakness Where exactly?"
"Returning to my lord, it is naturally the special skill of my subordinates."
I saw Hong Ye smiled, and a ball of orange-red mixed with a little white flame instantly rose from her slender hands, causing the surrounding temperature to rise a lot immediately.
Shaking the flames in his hand, Hong Ye added: "Of course, there is a prerequisite for this. Even the flames cast by a fourth-order powerhouse may not be able to cause damage to them."
"The flames of the fourth-order powerhouse can hardly cause damage?!"
Feeling the heat of the flames, Marquis Rose, who is a great botanical magician, involuntarily took a few steps back.
Then he was surprised in his heart: "So, apart from that burly man who is taller than me, Your Excellency Ke Qing is actually accompanied by two fifth-order powerhouses of the township level?!"
