The society is afraid that Shota Demon King just wants to be a salted fish

Chapter 8 Return to Hexicheng



The Maple Leaf Team collapsed on the ground after taking care of the Slime Queen.

I feel like I never want to see slime again.

After waiting for a while, a few people gathered in front of King Slime, who had turned into a puddle of slime.

Zhou Tianyou couldn't wait to start rummaging through the mucus with his sword.

"Ding~"

There was a clear sound of metal collision, and everyone suddenly showed expectant expressions.

Zhou Tianyou struck with his sword, and a blue crystal was immediately caught by him.

Everyone was shocked: "The spirit crystal?"

Several people never expected that a valuable spirit crystal would drop out.

In Qiling Continent, all monsters above the elementary level will drop Nailing Crystals.

Only high-level monsters have a very small chance of dropping a spirit crystal that is mutated from a spirit crystal.

The Naling Crystal is an essential material for all adventurers to practice. It can improve one's own cultivation by absorbing the soul power inside it.

Of course, you can also slowly accumulate through your own cultivation, but compared with the Naling Crystal, the speed of cultivation is like a turtle's speed.

The Pact Spirit Crystal is an extremely rare existence. Absorbing the Pact Spirit Crystal can obtain the talent or skill of a corresponding monster.

Zhou Tianyou then put the crystal on his forehead.

After a while, he was a little disappointed and couldn't understand it at all.

There was just a translucent slime floating inside.

You can also clearly feel its rejection of yourself.

Obviously, this crystal is not suitable for me.

Then he handed the crystal to the nearest Li Qiang.

Li Qiang also felt it and found that he could not absorb it either.

It was transferred to Xu Lulu's hands again.

Xu Lulu put the crystal on her forehead with stars in her eyes, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

After feeling it for a while, Xu Lulu reluctantly handed it to Li Zhuang next to her.

After a while, it was returned to Zhou Tianyou.

"Is there anything I can absorb?"

Zhou Tianyou had no expectations. After all, swordsman and shield warrior, two professions with similar attack methods to the Slime King, could not absorb him.

The chance that archer Li Qiang and priest Xu Lulu can absorb it is even smaller.

After all, this slime doesn't look like a priest or an archer there.

"Well, it seems I can absorb..."

Xu Lulu raised her hand and said weakly.

The three of them looked at Xu Lulu with some surprise.

Xu Lulu nodded repeatedly.

"Could it be that perverted recovery ability inside?"

Several people guessed.

You must know that there is no precedent for cross-professional absorption of abilities in Qiling Continent.

Each profession can only absorb the abilities of the corresponding profession, although no one can figure out the principle yet.

"It's all on you."

Zhou Tianyou handed the crystal to Xu Lulu again.

In Qiling Continent, the title of adventurer team is sacred, and the vast majority of adventurers will never change their adventurer team in their lifetime.

Even after he retires, he will still consider himself a member of the adventurer team.

In addition, the magical contract signed when joining the team firmly binds the team members together.

A team can only become strong if its members are strong.

This is also the reason why Qingling Crystal is rare.

Useful crystals are used to enhance one's own strength, and those that are circulated are unused or despised.

Xu Lulu pressed the crystal close to her forehead. As the magic power was poured into the crystal, the entire surface of the Qiling Crystal emitted a faint blue light. After a while, it gradually dimmed.

Xu Lulu opened her eyes and said in surprise:

"Success!"

As she spoke, a gel ball about thirty centimeters in size slowly formed on her hand.

Several people were so familiar with this skill that they almost made the three of them autistic.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Lulu threw it casually, and when it landed, it made a small shallow pit on the ground...

Then the slime turned into a small slime and jumped towards Xu Lulu.

When several people were about to take action, Xu Lulu quickly stopped them.

"Don't fight, I can control it!"

As she spoke, Xu Lulu also controlled the slime to roll twice on the ground.

A few people couldn't come to their senses. Why did Xu Lulu, a priest, absorb the ability of an absolutely impossible priest?

Since entering this space, the group felt that all the knowledge they had learned before was in vain.

Naturally, they don't know that there are only two types of professions in the maze, the magic damage profession and the physical damage profession.

It is completely different from the outside system.

After some research, I found that it was indeed King Slime's slime summoning skill, no doubt, but it was much less powerful.

Although it is not the skill they imagined, this one is more perfect. Xu Lulu is a priest, and she will not lack recovery skills in the later stages.

This is definitely a magical skill. It can be used for pathfinding and reconnaissance, or to attract the enemy's attention.

Coupled with good attacks, Xu Lulu finally said goodbye to the trouble of having no attack methods.

Several people looked at the wreckage again. Without them saying anything, Zhou Tianyou continued to rummage inside with his sword.

After a while, another golden gel that was the same as the previous light yellow gel was turned out.

Other than feeling beautiful, everyone could see nothing.

After confirming that there was nothing more inside, they decided to return to Hexi City and take a good rest.

For the past few nights, I have been dreaming about being chased by slimes. I feel like I want to vomit when I see slimes now.

Since the group of people were exploring the plain opposite to the Immortal Labyrinth, they were already far away from the portal.

The time now is about two o'clock in the afternoon. If we go at full speed, we should be able to leave here in the evening.

At this time, a few people didn't know that the permanent rift they submitted to the Yanling City Adventurer's Guild a few days ago had caused huge repercussions among the entire imperial capital's top brass!

At this time, the Yanling Empire was in the transition stage between the old and new imperial powers.

The old king is too old to continue to preside over the affairs of the country.

The eldest prince only knows how to play in the human world, and now he doesn't even know where he is.

The second prince and the third prince were somewhat promising, but their skill points were misplaced.

One has an excellent business talent, and the other has a strong talent as a swordsman, but he is really blind when it comes to governing the country.

Not only was the old king dizzy with worry about this matter, but even the ministers in the court were anxious.

They wanted to nominate the second or third prince, but unfortunately they had no such intention at all and offered various excuses.

Slowly, everyone seems to have discovered that there is another person who is qualified for the position of king, no, it should be the position of queen.

The eldest princess Yan Yun is the legitimate daughter of the old king.

However, there was no precedent for a queen in the Yanling Empire, so how to find a way for Yan Yun to ascend the throne legitimately became a new problem.

Moreover, Yan Yun's age is also a big problem.

As the old king's favorite daughter, although she is called the eldest princess, she has actually just turned 25 years old. With Qiling Continent being two or three hundred years old, 25 years old is not a symbol of stability for the country.

Although the old king and ministers knew that Yan Yun was very capable and it was not impossible to bring a more glorious future to the country, the people did not know.

If he is forced to take office, it may cause considerable turmoil within the country, which is something no one wants to see.

However, at this point in time, the 57th permanent space rift in the Yanling Empire appeared.

Everyone seemed to see a glimmer of hope for the princess to ascend to the throne.

Perhaps, let the princess build up her reputation, coupled with the indiscriminate publicity from various domestic newspapers, push the princess to the altar in one fell swoop?

She did what she said, and the eldest princess Yan Yun, who had no idea about it, was deceived by the old king and the ministers. This time, the Adventurer Guild's team to verify the cracks embarked on the road to Hexi City.

However, the journey is long and it will take about a month to arrive.

You still have to say hello. Yesterday, the headquarters had issued an order not to set foot in the core of the spatial rift before verification.

After all, when it comes to building momentum, of course, exploring the unknown is the most sensational thing.

By the way, the adventurer guilds in each city were also asked to cooperate in exaggerating the dangers inside the new rift, not only to let everyone know, but also to let 99% of the people know.

Hexicheng Adventurer Guild was also confused. When did a spatial rift appear on their territory?

No adventurers mentioned it at all, but those who should cooperate still have to cooperate. They started preparing the copy that day, but the specific location is not yet clear.

Just wait for the discoverer to come back and report.

But paper could not contain the fire. I didn’t know that the talkative staff member accidentally let it slip, and the news about the permanent spatial rift outside Hexi City spread.

The guild had to announce to the adventurers in Hexi City that the core of the rift was very dangerous and exploration was not recommended without confirming the location.

Time flies, and another three days have passed.

The Maple Leaf team finally returned to Hexi City.

However, the lively atmosphere in Hexi City made everyone feel a little strange.

Isn’t this a holiday?

From time to time, the words "time and space rift", "new" and "danger" came around, and several people immediately understood.

It is estimated that the Adventurer's Guild in Hexi City has been notified from above.

But because there was no specific location, these adventurers who usually ran around in the wild gathered back to Hexi City, waiting for the Adventurer's Guild to announce the specific coordinates.

After all, this is a permanent space rift that truly belongs to Hexi City.

Each permanent rift can greatly increase the income of local adventurers.

Let those Hexicheng adventurers who have been traveling in major cities all year round see the dawn of stability.

The members of the Maple Leaf Team suddenly felt their hearts surging, and Xu Lulu, who walked to the front unknowingly, had her head raised to the sky.

The fat man watched from behind and couldn't stop laughing.

The Adventurer's Guild is not far from the city gate, about thirty minutes' walk.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the guild hall, huge bright banners were hung on the trees on both sides of the entrance.

"What you discovered is not a rift, but the future of Hexicheng!"

"The adventurers of Hexi City will always remember you!"

"Warriors who find a permanent rift, please follow the red carpet."

"You are not alone, you are a team, you are hope!"

"..."

I don’t know why, but I feel so ashamed. This is the sentiment of the other three except Xu Lulu.

Although they were ashamed, the three of them followed Xu Lulu onto the red carpet. At this time, attention gradually focused on the four of them, and they became more and more enthusiastic.

More and more adventurers gathered around.

"You are not alone!"

"You are not alone!"

"It's hope!"

There were cheers from time to time, and some shouted strange slogans hanging on the trees.

There was also the child who presented the wreath, who was obviously invited by the guild to show off.

It simply pushed the embarrassing atmosphere to a climax...

Even Li Qiang, who originally looked cold, turned red at the base of his ears.

A red carpet that was about [-] meters long was completed in the torture of four people, uh, three people.

After walking along the red carpet into the guild president's office on the second floor, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this continued, they were worried that they would damage the guild floor with their toes and lose money.

To be honest, I didn't expect the guild to be so awkward.

Xu Lulu was still unsatisfied.

The president is a thin old man with gray hair, but from the faint pressure coming from his body, you can know that he is definitely not as weak as he seems.

The debriefing lasted two hours.

Before the report, the president vaguely reminded the Maple Leaf team to exaggerate the difficulty of the maze.

What he didn't know was that he might have said it too cryptically, causing the three people who were still embarrassed to understand it at all.

Xu Lulu simply didn't understand.

But the effect is still good.

Anyway, the president feels that all four members of the Maple Leaf team are talented and well-spoken.

It even feels like it’s a bit made up.

The president decided to modify it slightly. After all, it was a bit outrageous to chop down a slime for half an hour.

Although it sounds like I have experienced it myself...

And the slime that can summon wasps, the slime that makes people blind, how is that possible?

Sure enough, he is still young and has not thought carefully.

If you really say that, wouldn’t your secrets be exposed once you get in?

In this way, the president rationalized the four people's arguments according to his ideas overnight.

The two kinds of slimes that everyone can encounter as soon as they enter the portal are changed to have to go deep to see them. At the same time, the ability to summon wasps and blinding is also removed.

As for the Slime King, it has been changed from close to the extraordinary level to the top intermediate level. After all, slimes are not very strong creatures in the first place.

Then some settings were added in which there were high-level monsters or even monsters above the extraordinary level in the high walls.

He also solemnly stated that it was temporarily prohibited to go inside the high wall, waiting for the verification team from the imperial capital to come for verification. This was also to protect the lives of Hexi City adventurers.

As for the adventurers who don’t believe in evil but want to go in?

The president said that there was nothing he could do, but such adventurers were only a minority, and most adventurers still cherished their lives.
