The death of the Assimilated Slime 1 can be said to have been sudden, with no warning at all before the loss of contact. If anything, it was the barely audible sound of friction before the accident.

With one of the assimilated slimes having problems, Lara has more refined control over the remaining nine slimes. Assimilated slimes are wriggling forward, their liquid bodies making them virtually non-existent as they move forward, and they are the most powerful lurkers of all. But if there's really one place where the assimilated slime is most exposed, it's the smell!

Ordinary slimes will always produce a rotten smell, which will fade after assimilation, but will never go away, and if the Toxic Predator is the type that is very sensitive to scent changes, then this change cannot hide from them.

A minute after the accident with the Assimilation Slime-1, the Assimilation Slime-3 also had problems, and as Slime-3 passed through one passage after another blocked by dense cobwebs, it entered a relatively empty, dry cavern, and the entire cavern was much brighter than the passage it was moving through. On the top of the cave and on the walls, there is a plant that glows slightly, and the temperature and humidity in the cave are effectively controlled under the control of these plants.

In this arrangement, in the center of the cave are rows of white translucent black bodies the size of rugby balls.

Eggs!

Through the discovery of the Assimilation Slime 3, the black body in the center of these rugby balls was a spider the size of a palm.

The only place where so many eggs are gathered is the nursery room, and even monsters still care about their children beyond ordinary care. Since the Assimilated Slime 3 has unknowingly arrived in such a place, it means that it is likely to be surrounded by enemies.

Salsa......

The same voice came again, this time Laura was already aware of it, and the assimilated slime 3 contracted violently, and catapulted like a bouncy ball, then twisted her body in mid-air to look in the direction of danger.

I saw that there were no less than five large green-haired spiders on the top of the cave, and the fluorescent light in the cave made people feel panicked.

Silk!!

Knowing that it would never be able to deal with an enemy several times larger than it could on its own, the Anabolized Slime 3 turned around and wanted to burrow into one of the branch passages, intending to use the terrain of the passage to get rid of these large spiders suspected of being poisonous predators.

It's just that the Assimilation Slime 3's actions are still a step slower, and before it can enter the passage, countless tough white silk threads have completely wrapped around it, and at the same time, a force directly infiltrates the Assimilated Slime 3's body through the spider silk.

Corrosive venom, seep in!

Assimilation Slime 3, Death!

Compared to the Assimilated Slime 1, which died unexplained, this Assimilated Slime 3 is considered to have obtained more useful information. The size of the Poison Marauder, its appearance, and its attack moves, and even the location of the nursery of the suspected Poison Marauder.

With the death of the deceased Assimilation Slime 3, the remaining eight path-finding Assimilant Slimes have also found signs of suspected poisonous marauder activity.

Water sources, drain tanks, vents......

Nearly all of the cavern's branch passages lead to the area where the Poison Marauders are active.

Or, to put it another way, the passage to the second floor is simply built in the lair of the poisonous marauders.

No. 7 is missing!

Death confirmed on the 8th!

Number 5 was captured, paralyzed, and about to die!

No. 2 entered the deepest part of the cave and reached the portal on the second floor, confirming that it was safe.

Number 9 killed!

Number 10 ......

……

Half an hour later, the ten assimilated slimes sent out by Laura were either killed, lost or captured, except for No. 2, who had been walking all the way to the main cave.

After gathering all the information, Lei Zhe basically had a general understanding of the cave in front of him, and how to break through the cave in front of him seemed to have no other way in Lei Zhe's opinion - brute force to break through.

The gate to the second floor is all the way to the main cave, and there is no fork in the road to interfere at all, and the distance in a straight line is almost four kilometers. However, the assimilated slime 2 did not encounter danger along the way in the four kilometers, but in fact, in the process of advancing, Laura felt the creepy feeling of being swept by the gaze on her body several times through the body of the assimilated slime 2. It was the eyes of the prey, but it was probably because the owner of the sight had not yet eaten, or the Assimilated Slime 2 was not intended to be used as food, which allowed the Assimilated Slime 2 to reach the gate smoothly.

Thirty meters from the second floor gate seems to be a safe zone, and after Asmilation Slime 2 enters it, a force passes through its body, and only after confirming that Assimilated Slime 2 is part of Laura's summon beast is allowed to enter it, and the line of sight that was originally staring at Assimilated Slime 2 has completely given up after entering the safe zone.

"There is still a safety zone of thirty meters at a distance of four kilometers, and the most troublesome thing is really the side passage that extends in all directions along the way...... Lei Zhe drew a sketch of the front two-story gate on the ground with tree branches according to the expression he got from Laura, and then muttered to himself to Laura on the side, and he didn't think at all whether Laura could understand such a complicated explanation with the help of Laura at this time," ...... Judging from the deaths of the other nine assimilated slimes, they did not completely avoid the surveillance from the poisonous marauders, but simply because the assimilated slimes were not a threat to the poisonous marauders, and there was only one reason for being killed - they came to the forbidden zone! ”

After understanding the situation, Lei Zhe was probably able to understand the rules of action of the poisonous marauders. They are the kind of monsters that will judge the threat based on the strength of the enemy, so they will not go out under normal circumstances, and there is a difference between the poisonous predators encountered by one person entering the cave and a group of people entering the cave.

"Laura, replenish your forces and let the assimilated slimes disperse around the main cavern and support us at any time! Then let's get ready to go for it! ”

Scattered assimilated slimes are not seen as a threat, which is a bit of a habit that can be exploited by Raj and Laura.

By the time the asmilated slimes had attacked, Reezer and Laura stepped into the dimly lit cavern.

Holding a torch in his left hand and a crossbow in his right hand, Lei Zhe's mobility in this kind of cave has been affected to a certain extent, and he and Laura do not have the ability to see in the dark, which is a disadvantage compared to the poisonous marauders, but fortunately, Laura also has a malicious perception LV.2 that can detect hostility.

About 500 meters after entering the cave, Laura, who was suddenly on Lei Zhe's shoulder, suddenly gave a reminder.

1 piece!

There was already a poisonous marauder who was hostile to them, and Lei Zhe continued to move forward as if he was completely unaware, and the words of a mere poisonous marauder would not affect him at all.

And the poisonous marauder who was secretly observing didn't seem to have any intention of attacking, so he let Lei Zhe continue to advance.

In this way, more than five minutes passed, and Lei Zhe had already penetrated 1,500 meters into the cave. The original hostility had also changed from the initial one to a full ten, which meant that nine other poisonous marauders had already appeared in this kilometer distance.

Through Laura's reaction, Lei Zhe already knew that the malice of the poisonous marauder had risen to a warning line, and the malice coming from all directions had surrounded him, and the ambush circle was ready, and the attack was coming!

But the ambush of the poisonous marauders has arrived, and the ambush of Lei Zhe and Laura is not equally ready, it depends on who ambushes whom!
