Chapter 18 Will You Eat If It Works?
On the third day after the crossing, it was a sunny morning.
Lord Demon, the preparations for the expedition have been completed. Cyno carried the greatsword on his back and reported to me the progress of his preparations.
Standing in front of the gate of the Demon King City, I glanced back at the huge city gate, and then flicked my cloak: Very good, let's get out.
Be! Cyno bowed and led a small group of skeletons lined up in a square position to follow me, and began the first battle after the revival of the Demon King's power with no momentum at all.
However, this time, the target is not the dark elf force that was only launched yesterday, but the slime lair not far from the vicinity of the Demon King City.
Strictly speaking, yesterday's clash with the Dark Elf Patrol Team was just a show by Cyno, and it was not a real battle in essence, and the large number of Dark Elf corpses harvested afterwards finally gave the skeleton soldiers of Demon King City the most basic number.
In today's battle of the Slime Lair, Cyno, who is the strongest fighter in Demon King City, will not participate in the battle, but is only responsible for protecting my personal safety, which can be said to be the battle I really face after crossing over.
There are a total of twelve beginner-level skeletons in this battle, but they are all equipped with wooden shields and wooden swords improvised by the dark priests, so I don't think there will be a dilemma of having to pull out their own parts to fight.
The march was dull, after all, the skeleton had no ability to speak, but fortunately the distance was not too far, and it took less than half an hour to walk to reach the destination this time.
The Slime Lair, though called a Lair, is actually a cave, and before I could tell Cyno, he handed over a warm torch, but I immediately handed it over to the skeleton at the front of the team to hold.
Is this the Slime Lair? Watching the skeleton clumsily collect branches in order to light the torch and try to drill wood for fire, I casually asked nonsense while waiting.
Cyno was very cautious about my barely answerable nonsense, crouching down and dipping his fingers on the ground, pulling up a lump of snot-like goo that seemed to have been left there for too long.
Cyno, you're not going to want to put this thing in your mouth, are you? I pursed my lips, I just hope that things won't go according to what I thought in my head later, and I have the impression that many fantasy series of works, as long as there are suspicious relics on the floor, the characters in them will be the first to stick to their mouths, and they are not afraid to say that they will eat anything that should not be eaten.
Lord Demon King, you are too careful, your subordinates are just checking whether there are traces of slimes in this vicinity. Cyno casually wiped the sticky substance on his fingers on the skeleton passing by, and said solemnly: Although the slime of the slime has a slight aphrodisiac effect, it cannot be applied to the undead, and his subordinates deeply regret this.
So if it works, will you eat it?
I held back my complaining words so that the conversation would not be dragged into a strange place, and at this point the skeletons finally lit the fire, but the incendiary thing changed from a torch to the ribs of a certain skeleton.
You go ahead. Speechless at the skeleton that had no torches to use and insisted on dismantling its own parts, I rubbed my temples and picked up the unlit torch and borrowed fire from the skeleton's ribs.
As it stands, none of the undead under my command seem to be reliable.
───────────────
Many people say that adventure is exciting and fun, but after experiencing it for yourself, it turns out that it's not like that at all.
The exploration process of the cave is quite boring, not to mention that because the air is not circulated, there is an indescribable strange smell in the whole cave, and at the same time, in the process of moving, you have to watch out for your feet from time to time, sometimes stepping on the air is just a dog to eat, but if you fall on the frieze point, you will encounter a collapse, this cave has been stored for a long time, and the geology is completely reasonable even if it is a fragile point.
This wasn't, because I had just witnessed one of the skeletons in the team sliding all the way down a cliff to a depth of ten feet because he stepped on the air.
However, they are skeletons, and they will automatically reorganize after falling to pieces, and after a while, they will crawl back from the place where they were killed and return to the team.
Apart from the treacherous terrain, there is nothing noteworthy about this expedition.
Slimes are recognized as waste in all fantasy works, and although there are quite a few of them, they almost fall apart at the slightest touch, and the only trouble for the team is that the path they have traveled will leave behind a slime that looks like a slug, making the ground slippery and unsuitable for walking.
As the team progressed, the traces of slime activity became more and more frequent, and the first part of the road was only occasionally sticky and slippery, but so far it is covered with thick materials of different colors...... Mainly blue and dark green, according to Cyno's commentary, this is the most common and recognized slime with the worst ability on the big 6, and most of the slimes of the rest of the colors survive where their attributes are similar, and a few even evolve special abilities.
Lord Demon King, the road ahead is interrupted. After a while of walking, the team was forced to stop, and the bodyguards, who were in place of the skeletons that could not speak, reported to me about the current situation.
What about the traces of slime activity? I asked Cyno a question and wiped the snot-like slime from his face, as anyone in the team had to deal with the gooey at a greater or lesser level, and sometimes it would even drip from the top of the cavern.
Cyno didn't reply immediately, but thought about it seriously.
Seeing that Cyno was using her brain, I couldn't interrupt her thoughts, so I had to lift my cloak as a raincoat, hoping to get less mucus.
The mucus here seems to be denser than before. I pursed my lips and said to myself.
My unintentional words reached Cyno's ears, but they became an opportunity to break through his blind spot, and Cyno jerked his head up and threw a hard grab at me.
Lord Demon, be careful! As soon as Cyno's voice came out, her whole body had already taken over my sight, and then a powerful force hit my abdomen, so strong that it didn't even give me a chance to stand on my feet, and my body broke free from gravity and soared into the air.
There was no room for resistance, and the world in my eyes flipped three times in succession before stopping, and when I came back to my senses, I got rid of the pain in my abdomen, and I realized that I was lying on the floor of the cave with Cyno as a cushion.
At the moment when I was knocked down, I even thought that it was Cyno's ** who finally couldn't hold it back, and then resorted to force me to force me, but it was obvious that this was not the case at the moment.
The place where I had stood was now occupied by a large blue mass, and the skeletons standing beside me were holding wooden weapons, as if they were facing a great enemy to surround the former.
King Slime, here!
