"So, I'm really strong, huh, huh..."
The soft sword in the flat golden retriever's hand was stuck on the ground, while he was breathing heavily, he looked at the referee Xia Mi.
"..."
Xia Mi was speechless.
"It's just a level 7 slime. How did you fight it for twenty rounds before barely winning..."
"What can I do? The slime will come back to life after being chopped with a sword. I killed it five times!"
After a slime is fatally injured, it will not die immediately. Instead, it will turn into several balls of gum, triggering the 'Regeneration' skill, which will slowly condense and restore vitality.
Because Xia Mi told them not to kill each other, Lulea could only wait for the slime to be reborn again and again.
After the fifth rebirth, the regeneration skill is on cooldown. After this death, the slime really cannot regenerate.
So Xia Mi called stop.
But Xia Mi couldn't accept that the flat golden retriever had been in a stalemate with a mere level 7 slime for so long.
"Hey, look, Jelly seems to be reaching level 30 soon."
Lulea quickly changed the topic.
To be honest, even after dealing with a small slime for so long, the blond elf felt that he had lost his face, and his pointed ears quietly turned red.
Xia Mi looked over, and sure enough, the blue slime began to glow, which was a sign that it was about to upgrade.
The blue light shines, then slowly fades.
A more crystal clear blue slime appeared in front of the two of them.
[Name: Slime]
[Race: Demon Race·Ordinary Monster]
[Vitality: full]
[Status: normal]
[IQ: 10]
[Attack power: 30]
[Defense: 50]
【Level: 29→30】
[Has alienation ability. Please choose the direction of alienation: blue slime leader with reproductive ability; ice slime; venom slime...]
Xia Mi directly chose the first one and let it evolve into an ordinary slime with the ability to reproduce.
He is currently training this slime as the future leader of the slime tribe. It is enough to have the ability to reproduce.
The remaining slime types will be modified in these aspects after new slimes appear.
[Alienation successful! 】
[Name: Slime]
[Ability: Reproduction (with the ability to split the body and give birth to new slime life)]
[Status: Preparing to split]
Sure enough, after slimes reach level 30, they can reproduce and split into new slime babies.
On the side, Luleiya looked at the slime information scroll and stared at the jelly with an expression of realization.
"It turns out that this is how slimes reproduce! In this case, as long as you use the portal to place a level 30 slime somewhere else, a slime tribe will soon be formed. No wonder the slimes are There are so many and they are so widely distributed.”
At this time, the elf arched his fingers in a scholarly manner and raised the non-existent glasses frame on the bridge of his nose.
Xia Mi was satisfied with this.
Now just wait quietly for the slime to split.
The cave found here was also big enough. After putting the jelly back, he and the tablet elf prepared to return to the village.
"Okay, that's it for today's training."
"Great! Let's have barbecue for lunch."
Lulea made a gesture of yes.
…
When the two returned to the village, they happened to meet the villagers gathering at the head of the village for a village meeting. Although they didn't know what happened, the two gathered around them.
"Xia Mi, this way!"
Theo saw Xia Mi and waved vigorously.
Just as Xia Mi was about to walk over, a small hand pulled his sleeve.
"Don't go there, stay with me."
Lulea looked at Theo warily, and then her eyes fell on Xia Mi.
"Why?"
"There is no reason. Didn't you see that the air around him has become turbid? Being too close to him will become ominous. Believe me, this is the elf's intuition."
"..."
Although he knew that the golden retriever was lying, Xia Mi still stopped, responded to the greeting, and stood at the back of the team with her.
[Favorability +1 (10→11)]
Um?
Xia Mi looked at the flat golden retriever with a calm face from the corner of his eye.
This is really an unexpected bonus.
But Theo still came over, and Lulea quietly stood on the other side of Xia Mi, letting Xia Mi act as a partition.
"Hey, elf? Xia Mi, you've been hanging out with elves lately."
"Yeah. I'm familiar with the area. I can be her tour guide."
"Oh. I thought the elf was attracted to you."
Who would like him? A boy who was just a villager, apart from being a bit handsome, there was nothing about him that hit her mark.
Lulea complained in her heart, her little face still looked aloof.
"What happened in the village?" Xia Mi asked.
"I heard that a swordsman wanted by the Adventurer's Guild showed up in our area recently, and two villages were looted. The village chief is gathering everyone to see if they can raise money to hire an adventurer to stay. I happened to come out of the widow's house. Listen to the content.”
"Why are you at the widow's house in broad daylight? You look like you've lost a kidney!" Xia Mi complained.
"Ah, really, no wonder it's been difficult to urinate recently..." Theo said after realizing it.
Xia Mi gradually understood the general situation.
Cass Dillon, a fugitive wanted by the Adventurer's Guild of the Kingdom of Fes, has been frequently active here recently, looting villages.
Xia Mi looked at Cass Dylan's personal information. A member of the brave group who once participated in the crusade against the Demon King, but later escaped while resisting the Demon Envoy and became an exiled swordsman who escaped from the control of the Adventurer's Guild and committed mischief everywhere. It is said that he is already a level 45 great swordsman, with great strength and vicious methods.
[Reward: If you can capture this person alive and bring it to the Adventurer's Guild, the reward will be 5,000 gold coins; if you can execute this person and bring his head to the Adventurer's Guild, the reward will be 3,000 gold coins. 】
Xia Mi looked at this tempting reward and had some thoughts in his mind.
"But where do we have so much money to hire adventurers to station us?"
"That's right! Ordinary adventurers won't be able to use it against a strong person of that level!"
"How can a powerful adventurer have time to accept our request?"
The villagers were arguing, and the old village chief Lugo, who was standing on the stage, also frowned helplessly.
At this time, with his cloudy eyes, the old village chief suddenly found the blond elf standing at the back of the crowd, and his expression became excited.
"Master Elf is here, and Yili Village can be saved! With Master Elf here, our villagers are guaranteed safety!"
Everyone looked at Lulea who looked confused.
The old village chief walked over quickly on crutches.
"Master Elf, please help our poor little village. If it were you, you would be able to drive away the defecting swordsman easily. We just need you to take care of us while you are in the village. What is the cost of hotel accommodation? Yes, we are willing to do it all for free.”
The old village chief's words were profound, and all the villagers looked at him.
Lulea was beside Xia Mi, so she naturally knew what the village chief Lugo was referring to, and her eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly.
It is true that she has the kind of enthusiasm to help others, but the matter in front of her is not something that she can solve just because she is weak.
She looked around. Xia Mi has not expressed anything yet.
Theo had already distanced himself from the two of them: "Who are these two?"
Xia Mi said calmly: "The next step is next."
When Lulea heard this, she felt inexplicably emboldened. She gritted her teeth, put a hand on her chest, and accepted the job.
"Don't worry, everyone. I will take action when the time comes."
