Chapter 47: The Heart of Thunder and Lightning

The shape of the Heart of Thunder and Lightning is completely a symbol of lightning, which is very close to the shape of the Wind Essence Stone encountered before, but unlike the Wind Essence Stone, the Heart of Thunder and Lightning does not have any fluctuations in the lightning attribute on it, so when Aluma first threw this thing to Shi Leiyin, he didn't think about what great effect this thing would have on him. And this thing has always remained in Shi Leiyin's body, even if it is unconsciously absorbed energy this time, it has not had any effect on the heart of thunder and lightning. However, Shi Leiyin believes that Aluma will not deceive himself with a piece of garbage, since it is said that this thing will be good for him if it is fused, then at least it will not be worse than the Wind Spirit Stone or something. If a wind essence stone is completely absorbed by Shi Leiyin, it can also greatly increase the content of wind elements in his body, and Shi Leiyin's ability to master a part of the wind element so quickly is because he has absorbed a lot of wind essence stones.

Through a careful study of his physical condition, Shi Leiyin concluded that he now needed a force of energy in his body that was enough to change the structure of his body, and all the absorbed energy was dispersed to each individual tissue of his body. As for how huge his current body would be if he gave up compression and stretching, Shi Leiyin himself didn't know, but one thing was for sure, it would definitely not be smaller than the slime kingdom he encountered when he first came to this world.

Since the body's inability to evolve is caused by a lack of energy, as long as enough energy is replenished, it should be able to trigger the occurrence of advancement. According to Shi Leiyin's judgment, it was probably necessary to completely absorb two or three of the energy contained in the Wind Essence Stone to fill the remaining defects. Hearing the name, the heart of thunder and lightning knows that it is more precious than the wind essence stone, and it should be worth the energy of the two wind spirit stones.

After telling everyone what he thought, Shi Leiyin ran alone to a smaller cave some distance away from the cave, the entrance of which was too small to enter and exit, so he was not selected to hide from the rain at that time. Now it happens to be a good place for Shi Leiyin to retreat.

The inside of the cave is much larger than the entrance, but it is shallow, so there are no small animals such as bats or snakes and rats, and the only creatures that move in it are insects. At the same time as Shi Leiyin entered, he was frightened and ran out. Although slimes are the lowest-level monsters, they can be regarded as powerful predators for insects. Ignoring the little insects fleeing around him, Shi Leiyin took a stone at random to cover the entrance of the cave, and put all his thoughts on the heart of thunder and lightning in his body.

Because it wasn't intended to be absorbed in the first place, the Heart of Thunder was placed in the part of the body that was not digested, and the fruits and the like were stored next to it in the form of essence juice, which may also be one of the reasons why the Heart of Thunder and Lightning was not absorbed. But now, the heart of thunder and lightning has been transferred to a site dedicated to digestion and absorption. For his slime body, Shi Leiyin still has a large part of it still can't understand, although those digestive juices have a strong corrosive force, they can't be released outside the body, and the part of the organ that is the key absorption and assimilation ability, Shi Leiyin has never found any big difference between that and other digestive organs, and the process can only be explained by biological instinct. What Shi Leiyin can do by himself is to let the energy released by this process reach a level that will not damage his body under his own will. So if he has the opportunity, Shi Leiyin will carefully observe how the objects in his body are decomposed and absorbed. And that part of the organ used to absorb the assimilation ability is the part that Shi Leiyin found when absorbing the Wind Essence Stone, and that part has been listed by him as the same important part as the core, but according to the body composition of the slime, as long as the core is not completely shattered, any part of the body is destroyed, it can be slowly restored, even if most of the core is destroyed, there is still a certain chance to recover. This is also the reason why slimes are the most numerous monsters on the continent, and many times slimes that seem to have been eliminated have only temporarily lost their bodies and waited to accumulate energy to restore their bodies.

While Shi Leiyin was concentrating, the digestive juices in his body had already begun to corrode the heart of thunder and lightning, and when the surface was eroded, Shi Leiyin immediately felt a powerful thunder element seeping out of the heart of thunder. This power is very strong, and only a little leakage will shake open the digestive juice wrapped in the heart of thunder and lightning, and the electricity on it will make Shi Leiyin's whole body numb. However, this elemental force was quickly guided by the absorption organ, and immediately Shi Leiyin felt that his body was mixed with a lot of thunder elements, and his resistance to that kind of electricity suddenly increased a lot. However, Shi Leiyin still controlled his body to take away the digestive juice around the heart of thunder and lightning, since there are so many thunder elements coming out of such a small hole, if the entire shell is stripped off by the digestive juice, maybe he will be electrocuted by that electricity before absorbing the thunder element, and now such a small amount is more suitable for slow absorption.

The Heart of Thunder and Lightning was transferred by Shi Leiyin to the part of the organ that absorbed and assimilated, but he immediately discovered that only the ability to absorb was activated, and it seemed that because the Heart of Thunder and Lightning belonged to the elemental aggregate, assimilation was equivalent to absorbing energy, and there was no imitation at all. However, Shi Leiyin also knows very well that if this kind of thing can also be imitated, then he can produce unlimited energy in his body.

Chapter Forty-Eight: Evolution Again

The energy contained in the Heart of Thunder and Lightning obviously called out Shi Leiyin's expectations, originally he expected this stone to be similar to the Wind Essence Stone, but after encountering the first energy, he changed his opinion, thinking that perhaps the energy contained in the Heart of Thunder and Lightning was about five to ten times that of the Wind Essence Stone. He used to be able to absorb a Wind Essence Stone in one day, but now it would be enough to absorb this Thunderbolt Heart for about three days. However, on the fourth day, the energy released by the Heart of Thunder and Lightning was still very stable, and there was no appearance of being released at all. Moreover, after the energy of the Wind Essence Stone is reduced, there is a phenomenon of shrinking in size, but the current Heart of Thunder and Lightning is still that large, and it is obvious that the energy contained in the Heart of Thunder and Lightning far exceeds the amount of Wind Essence Stone by ten times, and it is likely to be hundreds of times.

This news was good news for Shi Leiyin, because he found that his body, which he expected to evolve with two or three Wind Essence Stones, still did not want to enter the next order after absorbing several times this amount of thunder element. That is, there was an error in both of his estimates. Fortunately, these two mistakes complement each other by mistake. Shi Leiyin believed that as long as he completely absorbed this thunderbolt heart, he would definitely be able to advance to the next level and his level would rise.

Due to the absorption of thunder elements for four consecutive days, Shi Leiyin's body has contained a large amount of thunder elements, and the strength of the devouring slime has also been reflected again, if other creatures absorb too many foreign elements, they will need to sleep for at least a long time to completely digest them, and Shi Leiyin's current body has begun to transform itself while absorbing, so in addition to greatly improving the resistance of Shi Leiyin's body to thunder and lightning, there are no adverse effects and side effects at all. Considering that his body's lightning resistance had been greatly improved, Shi Leiyin decided to expand the speed of absorption, and although this speed was stable and safe, it was obviously too much time, and he didn't have much time to wait.

The heart of lightning was moved into the digestive juice again, and now the electricity released from it could no longer affect the digestive juice, so the small hole was soon enlarged into a large hole. Shi Leiyin carefully controlled the digestive juices, and after expanding the hole to five times the original diameter, Shi Leiyin once again felt the feeling of being numb from being electrocuted. Having reached the limit of what he could now bear, Shi Leiyin hurriedly stopped the corrosion process and entered the process of absorbing and strengthening himself again. In this way, he kept strengthening and expanding the absorption speed, Shi Leiyin has always put himself in the limit state of absorption, as long as he feels that his bearing capacity has increased a little, he will expand a little, and finally after six days, the entire thunder and lightning heart has been completely stripped of its shell.

At this time, Shi Leiyin was already flashing with electric arcs all over his body, and if a human who was familiar with Warcraft saw it, he would definitely mistake him for Slime's close relative of the sea, Rem, a fourth-order and fourth-order Warcraft that lived in the ocean and would release thunder and lightning to prey on prey. However, the current Shi Leiyin is much more powerful than Rem, and the thunder element released by the thunder and lightning heart that has lost the restriction of the shell can be said to be massive, and the powerful voltage has even begun to scorch the edge of Shi Leiyin's body, but this is exactly what Shi Leiyin wants, as early as three days ago, Shi Leiyin felt that he had collected enough energy to enter the fifth order, but he just couldn't advance. Shi Leiyin believes that this is still missing an opportunity, of course, what can be regarded as an opportunity in the current situation? Shi Leiyin's idea is very simple, the opportunity is a crisis. As for the one that can cause a crisis in this case, it is to peel off the shell of the entire Thunderbolt Heart.

With the injury of the body, Shi Leiyin felt the strong pain at the same time, but also found that he began to change, the speed of absorbing the thunder element increased by leaps and bounds, and the activity of the body cells also became higher, and the part of the edge that was coke continued to regenerate, but when the resistance of the thunder attribute was not sufficient, it could only temporarily repeat the process of regeneration and re-coke.

There is still a little missing, Shi Leiyin endured the pain and thought, at this time he didn't know if it was his thinking or instinct, he knew that he still lacked something to advance, but what? Thinking quickly at the same time, Shi Leiyin also quickly examined his body, in the past ten days, he devoted himself to the exploration of the inside of the body, and his understanding of his body was on a higher level than before, but the instinct told him that what he lacked must be inside the body. Because he knew that the most important part of the slime was the core, Shi Leiyin had always put his core in the safest place, so in the entire absorption process, the core had not been affected by any thunder element, could it be that because of this, he couldn't advance?

After being absorbed for a full ten days and losing its shell, although the Heart of Thunder and Lightning released a large amount of thunder elements in a short period of time, it had already contracted the phenomenon, which meant that he was about to be absorbed. Shi Leiyin knew that he didn't have much time to think, and once the heart of thunder and lightning was completely absorbed, he was afraid that he would fail this advancement. With a horizontal heart, Shi Leiyin moved his core to the heart of thunder and lightning.

The powerful power instantly made the core lose its ability to work, and Shi Leiyin's consciousness was also black, before losing consciousness, he regretted that he made such a risky move, at least he should have let the core contact with the thunder element to improve its resistance.

After a long time, Shi Leiyin regained consciousness, and the first thing he did when he came to his senses was to check his body. The heart of thunder and lightning has completely disappeared, and the arc of electricity outside the body has also disappeared completely. The thunder element in the body also seems to have decreased a lot, only a little more than the wind element. When the core was checked, Shi Leiyin finally smiled. The core is larger than the original, and it contains obvious thunder and lightning energy, Shi Leiyin knows that he has made the right bet, and the core of his body has completed the final absorption, and has successfully advanced. After a slight comparison with his memory, Shi Leiyin knew that he had not only completely entered the fifth order, but also stepped into the ninth level in terms of strength, and had fully improved by three levels
