Volume 3 Chapter 25 Instinctive Liberation
As a devouring fusion slime, Shi Leiyin has actually been using his consciousness as a human to suppress the slime's instincts. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info even when he is tempted by rare genes, Shi Leiyin can control himself and will not blindly devour objects. Although instinct still affects Shi Leiyin's consciousness and makes him make decisions that tend to devour the side of desire, overall, Shi Leiyin's instinct has been suppressed.
Also because of the suppression of instinct, the total amount of energy in Shi Leiyin's body was also limited to a 'normal' range. If Shrein unlocks his size limitations, his body's energy can now allow him to reach the level of a giant slime kingdom that is nearly seven meters tall. This is already the maximum size that Shi Leiyin's 'common sense' can accept. Of course, this is also the upper limit of Shi Leiyin's ability to rely on his autonomous consciousness to maintain his current spherical body with a diameter of half a meter.
As a devouring creature, the larger the size, the more powerful it is. Therefore, gigantics have always been the trend of phagocytosis. However, there are various disadvantages of megaization, such as the difficulty of balancing the energy in the body, the prolonged feedback time of the body, and the inability to hide itself. These drawbacks make Shi Leiyin basically not think about his own idea of megaming. Of course, the most important thing is that as you get bigger, you get farther and farther away from 'humans'.
However, this time, Shi Leiyin intends to completely release his instincts. In addition to the need to use this method to solve the problem of the fifth layer of slime flooding, more importantly, Shi Lei Yin felt that his current strength was still not enough to survive, and he needed more strength.
Before being reincarnated as a slime, Shi Leiyin had always been a small clerk on Earth, an ordinary Celestial Empire who could no longer be ordinary. Enterprising thoughts, adventurous spirit, desire to become stronger, etc., have nothing to do with him. It is his biggest and most realistic wish to live a life without wind and waves. At the beginning of coming to this world, Shi Leiyin only wanted to spend a slime's short life safely. It wasn't until the appearance of the slime kingdom that Shrayin's plans changed slightly. The gain of strength and the instinctive drive of the slime made Shi Leiyin no longer satisfied with the life of eating one apple tree a day. This change made Shi Leiyin not choose to stay in the Forest of Treants or the Elven Secret Realm after coming to the Polar Continent, but chose to travel on the continent.
The soul power of the Holy Slime King obtained on the Pan Continent and the Wind Spirit Stone of the Elven Secret Realm made Shi Leiyin very confident in his strength. Whether it is calmly facing the Ice Tooth Dragon or personally possessing the Dinosaurus, and the idea of fighting the Black Eclipse Dragon Dragon, it is all a manifestation of Shi Leiyin's confidence in his strength. He was confident that he would survive in these situations, or at least save his life.
But this confidence was shaken when Shi Leiyin met Lan Long. Without the help of the Ancestral Dragon Slime, Shi Leiyin would probably have died on the spot under the water column of Lan Long. And the appearance of the ancestral dragon slime made Shi Leiyin know that even among the slimes, he was not at the top of the class.
If that's all he wants, Shi Leiyin can also paralyze himself and use the Spiritual Victory Method, telling himself that as long as he doesn't touch the creatures of that class, it's fine. But after that, Shi Leiyin came to the secret realm of this Jinkisya Chamber of Commerce.
This is just a secret realm of the Chamber of Commerce on the continent, and there are a large number of existences in it that are more powerful than Shi Leiyin. The sun-like Ku with a huge magic reaction doesn't care. Even the power of the auxiliary maid No. 37 is faintly stronger than Shi Leiyin.
In this environment, Shi Leiyin began to feel extremely insecure. This world is different from the earth, strong individual strength is the guarantee of everything, and the survival of the strong and the death of the weak are the most basic laws of the monster world. In the case of not being able to get rid of the environment, gaining greater strength is the only way out.
As a devouring fusion slime, the way in which Thunder becomes stronger is actually very simple. Devour powerful creatures, or devour enough creatures. The former will bring the power of the strong, and the latter can bring enough power.
Instinct made him know what the upper limit of energy he could be to maintain his current size, and he could also tell him what the maximum amount of energy he could hold without considering his size. That number was so huge that Shi Leiyin couldn't rely on eating normally in the Chamber of Commerce to obtain it.
Knowing the direction in which you want to become stronger, and what you need to become stronger, the rest is how to get the demand. Originally, Shi Leiyin's plan was to earn Chamber of Commerce points through a large number of tasks after becoming an intermediate mercenary, in exchange for the items he needed to become stronger. This is a bit slow, but it's one of the most effective ways to do it at the moment.
But now, a better opportunity appeared in front of Shi Leiyin's eyes.
The slimes of the entire labyrinth are still the huge group of slimes that have devoured a large number of wurmmons and other types of magical beasts, and the quality and quantity are impeccable. The only question is how to get them.
If there is no external cause, Shi Leiyin will definitely choose to slowly devour these slimes, obtain useful genes, eliminate invalid substances, refine compression energy, and maximize the use of these slimes while maintaining his body size. As a result, although Slime was able to make the most effective use of the benefits brought by these slimes, it would take decades or even years. Although the strength growth is solid, it will be very slow. This choice not only does not meet the requirements of the library, but also does not meet the needs of Shi Leiyin who is now desperate to increase his strength.
Therefore, Shi Leiyin chose a more dangerous way to release his instincts.
Completely release the instinct that has been suppressed by his own reason, which is different from the desire instinct that was released in order to save Shui Jing before. At that time, although Shi Leiyin regained his desire, his reason was still in operation, otherwise he might have directly decomposed and devoured Shui Jing if he didn't straighten out the magic in Shui Jing's body, you must know that the genes of the water spirit are also attractive enough for his slime instinct.
And this time, Shi Leiyin's release instinct is to truly and completely remove the influence of reason, Shi Leiyin will choose to concentrate all his consciousness on a clone that can only maintain basic life phenomena, and then liberate his control over the body, and only maintain the most basic connection. In this way, the body that has lost control of consciousness will act according to the most basic instinct of the Devouring Slime, and the initial action of this instinct must be to attract all the slimes of the lower rank than themselves around to gather around and absorb as a part of themselves. This is the only instinctive choice that Shi Leiyin can confirm.
With Shi Leiyin's current level and strength, once he releases his instinct, there is no doubt that he will absorb more than ninety percent of the slimes in the entire fifth-layer labyrinth. The danger is that if there is a slime of a higher level than Shi Leiyin in the process of absorption, then it is likely that Shi Leiyin's body will be controlled and absorbed by the other party in turn, and even if Shi Leiyin does not die, he will be beaten back to his original form in the real sense and become the most ordinary slime.
Another danger is the unknown cause of slimes in the fifth layer. It was difficult for Shi Leiyin to guess whether this reason would have an effect on the unconscious body, thus inducing a new consciousness. In order to release the instinct, the connection between consciousness and the body must be weakened as much as possible, in the process of devouring, even if the body produces some new consciousness, it is difficult for Shi Leiyin to notice, once the consciousness is formed, it is difficult for Shi Leiyin to take back control of the body even if he finds it.
It's just that between the unknown danger and the known harvest, Shi Leiyin still chose to take a gamble, 'either upstairs or downstairs to move bricks' Shi Leiyin muttered after reaching an agreement with Ku.
