Chapter 47: Pippi's Adventures

A slime monster who can speak human words, and he always thinks he is the boss?

Even Bartley, who wasn't an ordinary person, had never heard of such a thing.

"Yes! I've heard that you're very powerful, and I want to learn from you and take revenge on humans! ”

Pipsqueak said, his voice crisp and sincere.

"Where did you know about me?"

Bartley thought for a moment and asked.

"Scarlet Skeletron over there in the graveyard, it said you were powerful. But it was killed by humans a moment ago, and I want to avenge it! ”

Pipsqueak said indignantly.

That scarlet skeleton?

Bartley was impressed.

The scarlet skeleton had tried to attack the village a year earlier, but Bartley certainly couldn't let it do so, and intervened to stop it.

That guy still has some strength, but he didn't expect to be killed.

The strength is not enough, and being too high-profile is the consequence.

Moreover, as a monster, a low IQ is also a hard injury, even if it is not high-profile, it is only a matter of time before someone kills it.

So what to do with this slime?

Although it knows his identity, no one will believe the words of a slime, and it can be seen that its hatred for humans is true.

Moreover, monsters that can speak human words are rare, and slimes that can speak human words are even more unprecedented.

You can keep this guy for later, and then use it for some experimentation, or you can find something interesting.

"I can take you, but you can't show up in front of the villagers, and I'll let you help with something, understand?"

Bartley nodded.

"Understood, Boss Bartley!"

Pipsqueak was delighted and shouted skillfully.

"There is a ruin not far from the west of the village, someone has been in and out of the ruins recently, and they want to be unfavorable to me, you go over to reconnoitre, you don't have to do anything, just remember what kind of person it is, and if you find it, come back and tell me."

Bartley thought for a moment and gave Pippi a task.

He had placed a miniature reaction magic at the entrance to the ruins, so that if anyone entered the ruins, he would be the first to know.

After cursing the young man, Bartley then discovers that another person has entered the ruins.

Hardly anyone had been in the ruins for more than a decade, and Bartley was suspicious that the people who had entered the ruins were companions to the young man he had killed.

But there are no clues to be found in the ruins, and Bartley chases after him, and it is very likely that he will expose himself.

Pipsqueak comes over to take refuge, and Bartley asks Pipsqueak to scout who it is.

Also see if Pipsqueak is useful, and if something as simple as this can't be done, then don't expect it to do anything else.

It's just a stupid guy who can talk to people, and he might as well dispose of it sooner rather than before he gets into trouble.

"Scouting? I'm the best at it! Rest assured, leave it to me! ”

Pipsqueak patted his chest and assured.

It can't fight, but it's very good at observing, otherwise how could it learn so many skills and languages from scratch!

The first task assigned by the new boss, Pippi is determined to do it well!

After Bartley tells Pipsqueak how to enter the ruins, Pipsqueak sneaks out of the village.

It has the ability to burrow into the ground, and it is very simple to keep the villagers from discovering it.

After more than an hour, Pipsqueak made his way to the valley where the ruins were located and found the pile of rubble.

The seven broken stone figurines weren't hard to find, but getting their eyes together was a challenge for Pippi.

It took nearly half an hour for Pipsqueak to open the entrance to the ruins and jump into the black vortex.

"No one seems to be there?"

Once inside, Pipsqueak looked around cautiously, but found no sign of a human figure.

But humans are cunning, and Pipsqueak doesn't dare to be careless.

It cautiously jumped from the floating rocks to the largest floating island, trying not to make a sound.

If there is someone in the ruins, it must be on the floating island in the middle.

It took several minutes for Pippi to land on the floating island.

But then, it searched the entire island and found no one in sight.

"Looks like I'm late, and the people who came in are gone."

Pipsqueak is disappointed that it has nothing to report to Boss Bartley.

"Huh? Here are some words and murals! ”

When Pipsqueak was depressed, he looked down at the broken carved murals, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.

It has always remembered that knowledge is power, and knowledge can change fate, and it has always been haunted by being kicked out without reading too many books in the library, and it wants to see more when it sees the words and murals on the carvings.

There is nothing else to do horizontally and vertically, although it can't understand the calligraphy and paintings on these stone carvings, but it does not prevent it from trying to turn out those stone carvings one by one.

"Hey, I can understand the words carved on this stone, but it's mutilated at all times, and it's a bit headless...... In the middle of the island in four directions, dig up the bricks on the ground, there are four traps, turn the four traps in opposite directions, and you can get ......"

In the pile of rubble, Pipsqueak finds a broken stone, the stone is full of words, but this kind of writing is not the same as the words on other stone carvings, Pipsqueak actually recognizes.

It had seen this script once in that library, and it was a very niche dialect script.

When Pipsqueak looks over, he sees that the text has no beginning and end, and the record is a bit vague.

"Island, I guess it's the ruins, right? I don't know which four directions are, but you can look around the islands. ”

Pipsqueak suddenly came to his senses.

It's just seen this kind of detective reasoning adventure story in the book, but I didn't expect to experience it for myself!

For a moment, Pipsqueak even forgot about Bartley's mission.

Lalala~~~Lala~~~ I'm a little connoisseur of exploration~~~~

Pipsqueak hummed a tune and jumped up from the surrounding floating islands.

If there are no bricks on the ground, it jumps over the floating island, and if there are bricks, it stops and digs.

"Found it!"

Soon, Pipsqueak happily finds a mechanism.

After digging up the bricks in the ground, a groove appeared in the ground with a stone arrow trap in the groove.

Pipsqueak carefully twisted the arrow in the opposite direction, glanced around, and continued to search.

With four traps in four directions, it's much easier to find the first island and find the other.

After about ten minutes, Pipsqueak had found all four mechanisms.

Rumble!

After all four traps twisted in opposite directions, Pipsqueak heard a slight vibration.

The floating island in the middle shook suddenly.

Pipsqueak immediately jumps back to the floating island in the middle.

In the altar at the very top of the island, a delicate white wooden box appears.

Pipsqueak opened it carefully.

But I saw a white light float out of the box, and with a bang, it burrowed into Pipi's body.

"What is this?"

Pipsqueak panicked.

"Huh, this is a skill? Or is it a skill that can make someone else stronger? ”

"Great, I can also help the boss when the boss fights in the future!"

However, Pipsqueak then discovers that the light has only taught him a skill.

This skill doesn't have a name, but Pipsqueak can feel it, and it's a support support skill that makes the ability target stronger!

Learning a new skill means it's a little stronger, and Pipsqueak is happy.

With nothing else to do at the ruins, Pipsqueak happily exited the ruins and hopped back to the village, ready to report his findings to Boss Bartley.

It took Pipsqueak to go back and forth for a while, but the sky outside the ruins had begun to darken, and by the time Pipsqueak returned to the village, it was already dark.

"Looking for death, you forced me!"

"Don't talk nonsense, let me die!"

Pipsqueak tries to sneak into the village, but when he gets back to the village, he hears a roar from Bartley, as well as a human voice.

The voice...... It's the voice that just killed the Scarlet Skeleton King boss today!

When Pipsqueak heard this, he was furious.

This human being is so hateful that it has just recognized a new boss, and he has chased and killed him again!

Is it going to kill two bosses in a day?

It must not be allowed!

It's going to help Boss Bartley!

No longer hiding, Pipsqueak angrily jumped into the village.
