Chapter 638 Slime Hunting (Part )
"Come to think of it, this Shrek must have crossed the mountains surrounding Nami Village to get here, right?" Dugu Bo suddenly thought of a question.
Logically speaking, some of Namichi's reborn souls should also be able to come in from above... Could it be that the invisible film wrapped around the circle of mountains can also block the other party?
The proprietress explained: "The princess of the village could have come in from over the mountain, but that would have made her look like a thief or a robber... What she wants is to walk in through the cave entrance with dignity and avenge her mother."
"revenge?"
Zhou Qing's eyes moved slightly. This was not quite the same as what the clock trio said.
"Yeah, revenge."
The lady boss said with emotion, "We ate so many of Namichi's children, how could Namichi not hate us? And the village didn't let us go out, probably to protect us... Namichi hates us, but also loves us... However, we all hope that the last child Namichi gave birth to, the incarnation of part of her soul, can return to the village to repay our debt."
"I see."
Although the proprietress and the watch trio said different things, the essence was the same; they all lived with a sense of indebtedness and guilt towards Namichi.
At this time, the purple slime floating in the air tied up one mutant after another with its tentacles that could extend from any corner of its body.
The moment the tentacles stuck to the alien body, they began to dissolve the flesh and blood of the alien body, as if thousands of insects were gnawing at their skin.
"Ow~"
"Stuck~"
The captured mutant let out strange and miserable cries, and its body kept twisting as if it was enduring unbearable torture.
boom!
At this moment, the earth trembled, and a huge alien creature, different from other alien creatures, about eight meters tall and shaped like a conch, drilled out from the ground, holding a mace in its hand, and smashed towards the purple slime.
Bang!
The force of the stick was so strong that it actually smashed into the ground.
Even the surrounding mutants were affected, and some were even split in two, wailing in pain, but this conch mutant didn't care at all...
But the mucus on the flattened sides of the purple slime quickly went around the stick and wrapped around the head of the giant conch-like mutant.
"Ow!"
The mutant conch tried to pull it hard, but to no avail.
In less than three seconds, the mutant seemed to suffocate and fell to the ground... But Zhou Qing was a little puzzled as to why there was not a single scratch on the head of this mutant...
"Humph!"
Dugu Bo couldn't bear it anymore, and snorted coldly. His figure disappeared in an instant. Under the shocked gaze of the proprietress and the other mutants, he stood in the air, waved his left hand, and an invisible air blade cut off the tentacles of the slime that were binding the mutants.
clap clap!
The mutants collapsed on the ground, their purple tentacles turned into a paste, but they were still wriggling very actively.
Dugu Bo naturally noticed this phenomenon and snorted, "Is the bone in the middle the core?"
Raise your hand!
Press down!
boom!
The air was dispersed by a palm, creating a vacuum wave that directly hit the bony organs in the slime's body, smashing them to pieces.
And the slime fell from mid-air in an instant and fell to the ground.
The whole process took no more than three seconds. A slime monster that even a Soul Sage might find difficult to deal with was defeated by Dugu Bo in one move, and he hadn't even used any abilities related to his martial soul.
“Halala!”
The mutants cheered!
The lady boss beside Zhou Qing couldn't help but open her mouth wide and murmured, "I think I know how you guys got to the fifth floor without Bai Di... His strength must have reached the level of the rumored Titled Douluo!"
"Poison Douluo." Zhou Qing said Dugu Bo's title, but his eyes fell on the scattered purple slime.
Without the "core", the scattered mucus, except for the part that was directly attacked by Dugu Bo and lost its activity, the rest was still extremely active. It even gathered together quickly and wrapped up the "core" fragments that were shattered by Dugu Bo's palm. It took only ten seconds to reassemble it.
As far as the naked eye can see, there is not even a trace of crack.
"Ok?"
Dugu Bo frowned, pressed down with his palm again, and used 10% of his strength to shake the "core" into powder, causing the purple slime to disintegrate again. "Now, let me see how you can be resurrected!"
But unexpectedly, except for a part of the purple mucus that lost its activity due to the impact, the rest of the mucus that retained its activity aggregated again, aggregated the scattered core powder together, and repaired it into the same "core" as before, but smaller in size, and it was suspended again.
However, the size of the slime has shrunk by nearly one-half, and it is extremely small compared to before.
Zhou Qing pondered for a while, and suddenly realized something. He saw some of the essence, but he still used his aura of perception to sense it carefully. After confirming his guess, he shouted to Dugu Bo: "Old monster, the bone structure in the slime is not the core, but the prop it uses to fly. The principle of flying is similar to ours. The real core is the slime itself!"
"Is that so?"
Dugu Bo looked at the smaller slime and released his mental power. He also realized the nature of the slime and showed surprise. "What a magical creature!"
Slime?
Judging from the appearance seen by the naked eye, it does look like it.
But in fact, this is not a special organism like jelly or mud, but is composed of countless spherical microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye.
Taking individual organisms as an example, each spherical organism is only the size of an egg cell in human reproductive cells, which is millimeter.
These creatures combined together to form a huge single entity similar to slime. They looked like multicellular organisms similar to ordinary animals and plants, but in fact -
It is indeed a multicellular organism.
Each of them is small but fully equipped, and is an independent, complex organism. They are just compactly packed together and can communicate and transmit pheromones through spherical mucus. They are a very special kind of social creature.
All life activities, such as eating and reproduction, are carried out in groups. The mucus secreted by each individual grain is insignificant, but millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of individuals connected together by this mucus can play an unimaginable role and even produce instinctive thinking patterns and carry out creative activities similar to those that only humans can do.
For example, they created props that allow them to fly with the help of the energy of heaven and earth. The principle is to change the energy pressure balance between the inside of the props and the outside world to achieve the purpose of making them fly.
It is consistent with the principle that Dugu Bo is flying with the help of the inner world at this time.
It's just that since slimes are made up of groups rather than individuals like Dugu Bo, their flight is more like floating, and they cannot fly fast - if they fly too fast they will fall apart.
Of course, this is just the conclusion Zhou Qing came to after a preliminary observation based on his aura. If these individual entities that make up the slime are just juveniles, then the layer of purple mucus is just a body protection mechanism during their development stage. In the future, they will go through a "metamorphosis" stage similar to that of insects. It is possible that these creatures will possess creativity comparable to that of humans, no, social qualities comparable to those of humans.
At least, the bone structure inside this "slime" that helps them float is not their native organ, but is modified using special minerals or some other strange materials.
