Chapter 249: Wasteland

"This slime, is it able to multiply infinitely in the water? Is it able to communicate with you like to be a normal creature? Is it not afraid of the sun but likes to bask in the sun? Does it even express its feelings to you, such as happiness, sadness, and fear?"

Kenny's barrage of questions made Su Wen a little confused, he quickly replied, "Yes, yes", and then added with some confusion: "Aren't these all very normal things?"

"Normal ghost, Hell Slime is a low-level creature that is a specialty of the Undead Plane, do you understand the low-level creatures! Just like the beasts in the forest, they only act on instinct, they have no autonomous soul and consciousness at all, and only a very few special beings will evolve their sanity. ”

"Shocked, is there such a thing!"

Donald did it without it...... Hmm, a good thing?

"There is only one kind of Hell Slime that can produce autonomous consciousness, and that is the Hell Slime Mother, which looks no different from ordinary slimes, but has the ability to multiply infinitely. As long as the resources are sufficient, they can even fill the entire sea, otherwise how do you think those slime seas on the undead plane came from, they are the masterpieces of a few epic slime mothers...... Oh, you probably haven't heard of this, it's not written in any books, only us professionals know about it. ”

"So pro, you mean, this one in my hand is the Mother Slime, right? But according to you, it doesn't seem to have any other function than multiplication and wisdom, right?"

“......”

Kenny looked at Suvin like a fool.

"What do you mean that there is no other function except proliferation, just the ability of infinite proliferation can already be regarded as the world's top ability. Ordinary slimes can be condensed into various forms and obey all the orders of the mother like a swarm, and if these ordinary slimes are armed with weapons and armor, do you know what it will mean? It means that you can instantly form a huge army of scale, without food, tirelessly, and without being affected by morale!"

"I see. ”

Su Wen was also taken aback by Kenny's words, he hadn't thought about it before, after all, those proliferators were not the size of a palm, and it seemed that in addition to making ingredients, they could only be used to squeeze mucus. At this time, after this cheap senior brother clicked through, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll take my leave. ”

He put away the little history in the bottle and said to Kenny as if nothing had happened.

"Well, it's fine, but it's really good for you to take it back so obviously, at least let me observe it a little, and I won't rob you. ”

"You said it yourself and it doesn't look any different from a normal slime, so what's there to observe. ”

"Let's do an experiment...... Something like that. ”

"No way. ”

————

A moment later.

Su Wen didn't stay in the central hall for long, and under Kenny's leadership, they came to a teleportation array in the side hall of the main hall.

"Above is the royal capital of the Ancient Terrhine Empire, and the central hall is completely closed relative to the outside world, so if you want to get out, you can only go through the portal. If you still want to come back, then put the emblem of our Martaria Soul Mage faction on the stone tablet on the other side of the teleportation array, and I will receive a message from my side. Of course, as for whether I am willing to activate the teleportation array, it depends on whether I am in a good mood or not. ”

"It's okay, if I'm in a bad mood, I'll dig it myself. ”

Hearing this, Kenny raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth hooked up a rather seductive smile, and smiled at Su Wenyan: "Then you can try it." ”

This smile is very seductive, but Su Wen knows that behind this guy is actually a middle-aged lewd man, so he just wants to punch his dog's head.

But Laetitia didn't know it, she glared at Kenny and took Suven's arm as if to declare sovereignty.

Kenny had a treacherous smile on his face, and activated the short-range teleportation array before Su Wen finally couldn't help but punch his body out.

"I'll see you later, Mentor Nikolai will be back in about a month, and you can consider coming over then. By the way, don't forget to owe me soul fire. ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Wen's eyes flashed white, and then ......

Came to a barren world.

......

Nearly crumbling ruins, huge palace ruins, badly weathered roads, yellow sand, and the oppressive darkness of the distant horizon as if a mountain rain was coming...... It is hard to imagine that 2,500 years ago, this was the most glorious place on the once glorious continent, the royal city of the ancient Rhine Empire.

That's the time.

All the glory of the past, no matter how magnificent the journey, after thousands of years, can only turn into the dust of history, leaving future generations with a sigh of embarrassment.

Su Wen looked at the ruins around them, and found that they were in a half-collapsed stone house, although the scenery beyond the collapse was unobstructed, but there was still a sky dome above them. And today, when those glorious halls have long since completely collapsed into piles of rubble, only such inconspicuous small houses can barely retain their silhouettes.

He didn't find any living creatures around, but he did find traces of human activity in a corner more than ten meters away. It was a extinguished bonfire, and it looked like it had been around for a while, presumably left behind by the explorer who had entered the ruins for the night, and he wondered how he would have felt if he had chosen to be at the gate of a necromancer faction. However, if you look at it from this side, it is true that you can't find the shadow of the teleportation array anyway, and this kind of unilateral activation of the teleportation array will only emerge when the other side is activated.

"Master, look over there!"

Suven heard Laetitia's voice, and looked in the direction she was pointing, and he saw the clouds in the sky, but when he looked closely, the clouds did not look like clouds.

Because, through the black oppressive "dark clouds", he saw the sun farther above.

It was indeed the sun that could be seen every day on the Brilliant Continent, and it was noon, so it should have been extremely dazzling and hot, but now its light was shining through the "dark clouds", and it was exceptionally soft. Although I can still feel the slightest warmth, it is as if I am looking through the black glass, and most of the light is absorbed, and there is no longer the anxiety and heat wave that the midday sun should have.

Barren canopy.

Su Wen immediately thought of the word.

For this area, which was originally supposed to be Middle-earth, but is now called a "barren land", Su Wen naturally had a certain understanding in books. From a geological point of view, this area should have been the most fertile land in the Glorious Continent, but it has been a treacherous and barren land for the rest of history, mainly for no other reason than the canopy that permeates the sky for thousands of years.

Everything grows on the sun. Su Wen is still at the very edge of the barren land, and before he even enters it, he already feels that the effect of the sun is not one in ten, and the deeper the barren land goes, the higher the concentration of the barren sky, until 50 miles and deeper from the edge, the sun's light will be completely obscured, becoming a gloomy area where no light can be seen all year round. If there can be a small number of light-weary plants growing on the surface of the barren land, then the inner layer of the barren land that goes deeper into the barren land is completely dead and silent......

Oh, and it's not absolutely dead, there are also ubiquitous poisonous miasma, as well as a large number of decaying undead creatures, and a large number of ancient prehistoric city ruins that exist outside of historical records, which can be said to be a paradise for adventurers who are not afraid of death. No one knows what happened to the area in the center of the continent to become like this, and no one can convince the other of them, but it is known that this huge area with a radius of thousands of kilometers has not been explored to the extent that it has been explored to this day.

It can be said that because of the existence of the barren land, the four continents of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, which originally communicated with each other, were blocked in the middle, forming a ring-shaped structure. It's good to have an ultra-long-range teleportation array, but for those business travelers who come and go, whether it is from the southern continent to the northern continent, or from the eastern continent to the western continent, they have to travel along the edge of the barren land for at least a month.

As for the barren land that was close at hand, Su Wen certainly didn't plan to go in and explore, at least not yet. He hadn't lived long enough, until the Magus was everywhere and the Great Mage was inferior to a dog, and the exploration rate of the Barren Land remained so low that it was enough to show how dangerous its depths were. In particular, the Glowing Sea in the middle of the Sea occupies almost half of the barren land, but almost no one knows about it, except that it emits an eerie light at sea level. Although it is human instinct to explore the unknown, no one has dared to move the idea there since a legendary travel mage of the Dharma God level entered the Luminous Sea more than nine hundred years ago and never came out.

Su Wen took his gaze back from the barren canopy.

"There's nothing to see, Laetitia, it's time for us to go, it's too depressing to stay in this place for a long time. ”

"Well, by the way, the master ......"

Laetitia suddenly remembered something and asked suspiciously.

"What about Douglas, why didn't he come?"

What had happened in a short period of time was so much and so intense that Laetitia almost ignored it, she didn't know that Douglas was actually just a non-existent phantom, so now that she calmed down and remembered it, she naturally felt strange.

In fact, she didn't even notice when Douglass disappeared.

"I've always been there, Miss Laetitia. ”

An old bellows-like voice rang out from behind the broken wall, and then Douglas's old rickety figure slowly emerged from behind the weathered wall.

Su Wen did frown slightly.

'Daddy system, I didn't call you out, did I?'

'Please be still, host. The journey ahead is indeed as the necromancer said, there can be many dangers, this human is important to you, and until she really grows, if you want to keep it safe, I think you need my help. ’

‘......’

Only this time, Su Wen didn't plan to talk back to the pit daddy system.
