Chapter 45: Thoughts

Perhaps because of the rare night sky, Shi Leiyin didn't know why he thought about it. For him, a reincarnated or traverser, whether it is the Polar Continent or the Pan Continent, it is just a 'different world'. But why would he want to go back to the Pancontinent? Is it because Erica and Jessica are two girls? Or Charlotte? Shrayin who has some dewy relationship with him, rejects this idea, although he misses these familiar people in the Pancontinent, he knows that he is definitely not a person who values relationships so much. So it was the slime's instincts? This was quickly denied, and under the suppression of Sleiyin's consciousness, most of the slime's instincts had long been unable to influence his thinking. What's more, for slimes, there is no such thing as a hometown or breeding ground. Thinking of his hometown, Shi Leiyin suddenly thought that he had inadvertently regarded the Pan Continent as his home? Shi Lei Yin knew that he was a 'lazy person', so before coming to this world, although he had to spend a long time commuting to work every day, he always refused to leave his already very dilapidated 'home', and he may have the same feeling about the return of the Pan Continent?

"It's just the same as the instinct of migratory birds to fly back" Shi Leiyin laughed at himself, not the instinct of the slime, but his instinct as a 'person' of Shi Leiyin, thinking that he had adapted a lot and changed a lot, and in these places, he was still the same self as before. Shaking his head, Shi Leiyin glanced at the moon sky again, "There are also circumnavigating mountains on the moon here." ”

The next morning, Shrayin wakes up to the sound of Jaliya and Zilde bickering. I don't know how much contradiction the two little guys have, as soon as their eyes opened, they began to quarrel, and the volume quickly escalated to be comparable to Cheng Dù, who used four alarm clocks to ensure the time to get up at the same time. So Shi Leiyin, who was angry to get up, was very polite, and each of them rewarded a violent chestnut, which directly ended their bickering.

The weather was very good, and at one end of the horizon, the sun was big and round, which made Shi Leiyin determine the direction very lightly. However, he did not rush to set off, but after marking the direction on the small cliff, he returned to the edge of the forest.

"In the next few days, let's gather food in the neighborhood first," Shi Leiyin explained, "and then we're going to walk on the plains, and Jieliya and Jing'er have no problem, they can rely on berries and dew." But Zilde and I need to replenish the energy we need to move regularly. So, we need to collect enough food in advance to reach the human gathering place, and then we can replenish the food we need there. Zilde, how long did it take you and Aluma to get here by car?" said Shi Leiyin for a reason, according to the observation at the time, those carriages were not suitable for long-distance travel, and the number of people in the carriages was obviously crowded relative to the number of carriages, so it should be a short carriage between cities.

"Mother said that the carriage would take about four days to get there, but on the third day we met the thieves and fled all day to get here. ”

"And which direction are you coming from?"

"We were in the carriage from the town of Lot to the north, and I don't know how we got there after the thieves, because they were crowded together and I couldn't see what was going on outside. ”

"Then let's gather food for ten days, and let's go to Lott first. Shi Leiyin slightly calculated the speed of his actions and the speed of the carriage, if he changed to running mode, it should not be much slower than the carriage, but the consumption was too great, and now there was one more Zilde, and the duration would definitely not be as long as the carriage. Therefore, the time required will be doubled, and because the direction may be chaotic during the pursuit, a certain buffer time will be required, so ten days should be about the same stock. "Zilde, you concentrate on collecting your share, if it's not enough, I'll find a way, Jing'er come with me, Jieliya you will be in a group with Zilde, remember, don't stumble and quarrel, don't deliberately make things difficult, you are older than Zilde, let him be a little." Don't be dissatisfied, Zilde, Aluma asked me to take care of you, I want you to listen to me, now is not the time to worry about this, all right, now let's go, go back to the cave before the sun sets, remember, it's before the sun sets, not before dark!"

"Got it"

"Yes"

Amid Jieliya's impatient answer and Zilde's slightly depressed answer, Shi Leiyin walked into the forest with Shui Jing.

And Geria and Zird looked at each other for a while, and they turned their heads away in tacit understanding, and entered the forest in the opposite direction of Shi Leiyin and them.

Chapter Forty-Six: The Omen of Advancement

The abundant output of the forest allowed Shi Leiyin and the others to collect enough food in just two days. It is worth mentioning that there are two things, one is that after two days of cooperation, the relationship between Jieliya and Zird has become a lot more harmonious, at least Shi Leiyin secretly observed the scene of their cooperation in collecting figs, although after returning to the cave that day, they still quarreled, but finally reconciled.

The other thing is that Shi Leiyin held back his nausea and did something very much in line with the identity of the slime, that is, swallowed an entire hive. Since coming to this world, Shi Leiyin has been relying on vegetarian foods such as fruits to maintain his life, not that he doesn't want to get some meat, but firstly, as a slime, whatever he eats is just converted into energy for action, and there is no so-called malnutrition, and secondly, he is not willing to eat something like raw meat. Of course, when Erica was at home, because he was a pet, juice was his only source of food.

But this time the situation was slightly different, the slime's body seemed to be asking his consciousness for protein intake, and this feeling came very suddenly, when Shi Leiyin was picking a fruit that resembled a mango. It was so strong that by the time Shi Lei Yin regained consciousness, he was already near a huge hive. Instinctively driven, Thunder swallowed the entire hive, including the honey, eggs, young bees, and all the adult bees that didn't run out or tried to attack him. Of course, some of Shi Leiyin's selfishness is the reason for the occurrence of this pill swallowing incident, after all, in his knowledge, almost all the things in the beehive are edible by humans, although he has never eaten them, but he is not too repulsive to these when he is a human, rather than instinctively eating some creatures or insects when he has an instinct to attack the next time, it is better to eat this nest of bees this time, this is Shi Leiyin's selfishness. So the unfirm will to refuse couldn't suppress the instinctive **, so that his slime body was full.

Both slimes and water spirits are not afraid of the attack of creatures like bees, so in the process of Shi Leiyin swallowing the entire hive, all the adult soldier bees who tried to attack him and Shui Jing could only bump around on their bodies in vain, and those who attacked Shi Leiyin were wrapped in the body of the instinctive open slime, which instantly turned into nutrition.

Shi Leiyin, who re-restrained the slime instinct with his consciousness, found that when he re-examined his body, the beehive had been completely digested, and most of the fruits that he was originally going to store in his body were all digested and converted into energy, but these energies were not excluded from the body, nor were they stored, but completely absorbed by the body, which was far beyond Shi Leiyin's imagination. Judging by the normal situation, these fruits in his body are enough to provide his normal consumption for about six or seven days, even if he guarantees complete energy, he can provide a full three days, not to mention that there is a large beehive and a large amount of biological protein contained in it, which provides much higher energy than fruits of the same volume.

In order to figure out the changes in his body and make up for the loss of reserve food, Shi Leiyin spent an extra day staying in the cave, only Zird was a relative stranger in the team, and the other members had experienced life and death, so Shi Leiyin did not hide his physical condition. When he said this, Jalia gave a more agreeable statement, "You may be a precursor to the next level of evolution." According to the elves, the elves will also have such a sudden need to replenish a large amount of energy before the advancement, when encountering this situation, as long as they go to the tree of life to absorb enough energy, after a period of time, they will successfully advance to the next level, and the body will become more powerful and magical, for example, their patriarch Se Weier became the patriarch of that clan because he completed three advances early. And Shi Leiyin's current table is very similar to the table Xiàn before the advancement that Seville once said.

As for why Shi Leiyin didn't have such a situation before he advanced, Jie Liya thought that it was because Shi Leiyin was forced to advance because of the excess energy in his body before, so his body didn't have the feeling of desperate need for energy. And now it's a natural progression, and there is a need to replenish enough advanced energy. However, as for how much energy Shi Leiyin still needs to complete the advancement, Jie Liya can't say for sure, the elf advancement of the past generations has been completed under the tree of life of the clan, and the time can also range from a few days to a few years, with the age of the elf, he has not even seen the elf advance.

Since there was no way to figure out how he could evolve along the way, and he couldn't just wait until the evolution was complete (Zilde needed to get the essence from humans on a regular basis), Shrein thought of using the Thunderbolt Heart that Aluma had given him earlier.
