Helong Mine.

Li Changan is here again.

It's just that compared to the busy scene when he first came, it seemed very deserted at the moment, and there was no one at a glance, let alone the original rumbling mechanical sound.

Even.

Li Changan felt that the air around him was much fresher.

After communicating with Zhang Weihe and Gu Li, it was decided to let Gu Li suspend today's mining work in the name of "equipment renewal and maintenance".

on this.

Gu Li was very cooperative, and did not take the loss of a day or a few days of shutdown of the mine in the slightest.

During this period, Zhang Weihe also mentioned that the Helong mine should be shut down in the name of the Public Security Bureau, so that Gu Li's losses could be slightly reduced.

It's just that he was rejected by Li Changan.

Because that's too much fanfare.

The intervention of the Public Security Bureau will definitely startle the snake.

Although the investigation of individual personnel by the Public Security Bureau during the day may have alarmed the other party, it is still necessary to try, and the later it can be revealed that they are investigating the matter, the better.

And this time he came to the Helong mine again.

On the one hand, it is to carefully investigate the location of the spirit beast that those people are peddling, what kind of spirit beast it is, so as to better understand the purpose of the other party.

On the other hand, it is because he also mentions the spirit animal "slime" from the ancient texts interspersed in those books by Yang Jiande.

Yesterday, he encountered a clay slime in the mines.

"Little Fantasy, Little Douding."

In Li Changan's call, the two little guys "snapped" to the ground.

Pull out the small dried fish and pine nuts.

Seeing this, the two little guys did not show their excitement and joy as usual, but had a sad face.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone...... Oops!

Xiao Fan and Xiao Douding covered their heads at the same time, and looked at Li Changan with some indignation.

The expressions of the two of them directly made Li Changan laugh angrily.

He said angrily: "It's just to investigate the spirit beasts in the mine, not to let you two little things go to death." ”

"Meow~~" (That's not the same.) ）

"Investigation, do you understand the investigation? The kind that you can run if you can't beat it. ”

Li Changan took it.

"Meow?" o_o ....

Oh yes.

You can run!

The two little guys who reacted were not restrained, and sat on the ground with small dried fish and pine nuts in their arms.

After killing three small dried fish in a row, Xiao Phantom patted his stomach with satisfaction.

"Hiccup—"

"Have you eaten enough? Once you're full, you're good on the road. Li Changan stood up and patted his body back to the city.

d(ŐдŐ๑)

On the road?

"Hahahaha-tease you, let's go."

Li Changan showed a smile of "recovering a city" and entered the bottomless cage chief mine again.

With yesterday's experience of encountering the Clay Slime, and the absence of miners, this time the speed is much faster than yesterday.

Soon back to Passage 3-14.

"Huh?"

Under the illumination of the flashlight, Li Changan quickly noticed that the pile of mud left by the clay slime yesterday was actually gone!

Even if.

The mud quickly blends with the rocks, debris, and other things around it, or it simply dries and turns into dust and dissipates, but this is only a day.

Most importantly.

Construction on this mine road has already been suspended, and there should be no miners coming in.

But now on the ground, not a single dregs of the clay slime has been left.

If it weren't for the traces of Xiao Fan's battle yesterday, Li Changan would have thought that he had found the wrong place.

After pausing in place for a while, Li Changan decided to continue deeper.

Rustle - rustle –

The rustling sound of footsteps rubbing against the gravel floor echoed in the tunnel.

The length of this mine road is much deeper than Li Changan imagined.

I don't know how long I walked.

Da, da......

The familiar movement reappeared.

As the dim light of the flashlight shone away, the familiar clay slime reappeared in Li Chang'an's sight.

Merely.

This isn't yesterday's one.

"Sure enough, there's not just a clay slime in this mine." Li Changan said secretly in his heart.

The conjecture in my mind was confirmed to a certain extent.

"Meow!"

Xiao Phantom was lying on the ground on all fours, his face was not good.

"Goo!!"

It's different from the one I encountered yesterday.

This clay slime became in an up-and-down state when it saw Li Changan and Xiao Fan, especially after the beam of the flashlight hit it.

Bubbles bulged out of it, then burst again with a crisp sound.

On its body, the earth began to slowly squirm, and the rubble around the ground gathered towards its body little by little under its agitation.

Li Changan's eyes flashed.

"Dancing Claw!"

"Meow!"

Xiao Fan immediately understood what Li Changan meant, and his limbs slammed on the ground, grabbing the flying sand at the same time, he jumped out with a "whoosh".

"Goo!!"

Sensing the crisis, the Clay Slime's mouth snarled violently, and its body swelled rapidly.

But......

Swish!!!

The blade was gone, and the Clay Slime was only halfway through the roar, and the whole thing was there.

The next second.

The body collapsed suddenly, accompanied by a splash of mud, and slammed into the ground with a "bang".

With yesterday's experience, Xiaofan's shot this time is more crisp and neat.

Although Li Changan has not adjusted its efficiency value, he has already mastered the "Dancing Claw" with B-level proficiency, and Xiao Phantom's attack power is already quite considerable among spirit beasts of the same level.

Most importantly.

This clay slime is not as strong as yesterday's.

"Meow~~"

Xiao Phantom stepped on the cat's step and walked back with a relaxed face.

Halfway through, I didn't forget to glance back at the mud on the ground.

That's it?

"Look at your smug look."

Li Changan scolded with a smile, but he was still quite relieved in his heart.

Whether it is him or Xiao Phantom, they are all moving towards a qualified spirit master and a qualified spirit master spirit beast little by little.

Da-da-da

It's just that.

Happiness didn't last long on their faces, and the squirming movement reappeared in the mine.

"Meow?" (Still?) ）

Hearing the movement, the little phantom battle spirit was high, the pig mastiff passed the trial, turned around, put on a posture, and looked in the direction where the movement came.

"Squeak!" (There's also that!) ）

Abrupt.

Little Douding pointed to the other side of the tunnel.

There, too, there was movement.

Well?

Li Changan immediately shone the light of the flashlight.

Saw.

On both sides of the tunnel, in the gap between the ground and the rock wall, a soft lump of mud was slowly squeezing out of the gap.

"Grunt" bubbling.

"And there!"

Li Changan shone the beam into the distance, and his face gradually sank.

Grunt grunt –

It was as if I had entered a swamp, and more and more mud was squeezing out of the cracks in the rocks.

One, two, three......

The number of clay slimes that appeared in their sight also skyrocketed.

In the dark.

There are more and more eyes with a glimmer of light.

Xiao Douding ran directly into Li Changan's clothes pocket, covering his eyes, and he didn't dare to look at it.

Scare a rat to death.

How could there be so many?!

Li Changan didn't expect such a result.

"Meow, meow, ......"

Xiao Phantom, who was still in high spirits a second ago, became a little wilted at this moment, and slowly took two steps back.

To withdraw or not to withdraw?

"Wait."

Li Changan, who originally wanted to retreat, noticed that the clay slimes that appeared, and it seemed that the target was not them.

But......

The mud left behind by the previous clay slime on the ground!

I saw these squeezed out clay slimes, as if they had lost their souls, and swarmed towards the pile of dirt.

Not for a while.

A large number of clay slimes huddled together and lay on the ground, their bodies squirming wildly.

Rao is Li Changan was mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but feel creepy when he saw this scene.

"Meow, meow?" (What are they?) ）

Xiao Phantom's expression stiffened a little, and he turned his head and asked intermittently.

Li Changan opened his mouth, the words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say anything.

After a long time, he whispered in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Cannibalistic ......"

This kind of situation cannot be said to be absent in the spirit beast world, but it is very rare.

After all, tiger poison does not eat children.

He also understood why the mud left by the clay slime yesterday had disappeared without a trace.

Although.

The Clay Slime's Core was taken by him.

But for other clay slimes, the minerals rich in the mud left behind are also a highly nutritious food.

Maybe for them.

Absorbing minerals from ores and mires and sucking up minerals left over from the same kind is the same meaning.

But this is also ......

Buzz –

As if someone had thrown a cannon into the already unpeaceful swamp, the gathered clay slimes exploded completely after "sharing" the mud on the ground.

Begin to attack your fellow people uncontrollably.

For a moment, the mud splattered.

Li Changan hurriedly took Xiao Phantom to the side.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he suddenly felt a thrill.

A bone-chilling and familiar chill rises from the tail bone.

muttered, "Instigated manipulation? ”

This feeling was faintly familiar to him.

There seemed to be a whisper in my ears.

"Clay Slime, Homogenized ......."

......

......

PS: Friends, tomorrow Tuesday, ask for a follow-up, it's quite important.
