Chapter 647: 100. Slime’s Boundary (2-in-1)_3
The giant slime, though huge, had the appearance of a baby as it crawled toward them, squinting at Fisher and Kexie Ning, who was hiding behind him. It wasn’t until then that Fisher noticed the large pacifier in the slime’s mouth, which made its speech somewhat unclear,
“Oh? Brought back a mixed-blood human, have you? Thinking about finding a mate after your husband died? But do you have the money? Do you know how much trouble your good son has caused us?”
“Grandpa, that stinky kid dying out there has nothing to do with me. Luckily it’s you who came, not another elder, otherwise I’d probably be driven back again. They annoy me so much…but let’s not talk about that. This person here…”
Kexie Ning emerged from behind Fisher, pointing at him and about to introduce him to the large slime in front of her, but Fisher had already spoken first,
“I am Fisher Benavides of the Turand Family. We are seeking the legendary Frost Snow Phoenix Tree and want to obtain the Seal from the Slime Species to open the gate to the tree.”
Upon hearing Fisher’s words, the giant slime backed its rear properly and sat down with a “thump” at the center of the vast plaza. It squinted at the short Fisher in front of it, and its massive tentacle on its head began to swirl, gradually forming an oval-shaped crown,
“Ignorant fool… I don’t care what family or clan you’re from. First, let me ask you, do you know why the Slime Species has left the Northern Realm and is scattered around the world? Has the Northern Realm become uninhabitable or too small to contain us, a bunch born with a love for trade?”
It smacked the pacifier in its mouth and tilted its head to look at Fisher and Kexie Ning before raising its gaze slowly to the Frost Snow Phoenix Tree growing upside down behind them. A glint of reminiscence flashed in its eyes,
“It’s all because the Wutong Tree we once pledged loyalty to is now ruthlessly harming us. There’s a strange curse targeting us, driving some of our people mad. I too faced that bizarre curse, so I made a snap decision to lead the entire clan out of the Northern Realm before things got worse… Are you aware of this situation?”
Fisher nodded and said to the large slime before him,
“We are aware. The curse nearly wiped out one of the Six Clans, the Moon Rabbit Species, and we too have confronted this so-called curse entity and had a conflict with it.”
“Moon Rabbit…”
The Slime King before them paused slightly, his baby-like face showing a clear surprise, and the pacifier he was sucking on dropped due to his astonishment. As the pacifier fell, a dark purple viscous liquid uncontrollably flowed out of him.
Apparently, the pacifier was like a cork to a bottle, and after living for so long, the slime’s internal fluids would swell to an uncontrollable volume, requiring an external object to prevent leakage to avoid vomiting out their internal organs…
After a brief pause, the Slime King gently picked up the fallen pacifier and put it back in his mouth,
“Heh, interesting. Knowing that death awaits ahead and you still dare to move forward… Granting you the Seal is not impossible. After all, we are one of the Six Clans and owe a pledge of loyalty bound by oath to the Phoenix, a mark flowing in our blood. So I am also very curious as to what is happening inside the Wutong Tree. However, I can’t decide this matter alone. I need to call back the other Slimes to discuss it and by the way, negotiate with you…about what compensation the Turand Family should offer for taking the Seal.”
“…Aren’t you a supporter of the Phoenix Species? And you still want to discuss the price?”
The giant slime blinked, saying with a sly tone,
“We are the meticulously calculating Slime Species, aren’t we? You don’t think this disgrace behind you is one of the Slime kind, do you? This guy is the most shameful in our Slime Family, others either sell coal, are in politics, or sell steam machinery, but this disgrace, running some kind of circus, is truly tossing Slime dignity aside…”
The Slime King fished something from his rear, ignoring Kexie Ning who was nearly shrinking into the cracks of the earth, and pulled out a Boundary Flute that was quaint and nearly falling apart. Perhaps because he was too large, the Boundary Flute was about the size of one of his fingers, comparably mini,
“His good son, Colin, right? Heh, you never come to the Boundary so I wasn’t aware of your recent news. He actually stole your so-called broken circus and continued it in the South Continent. But secretly, he’s smuggling demi-human slaves to humans!”
“It’s just… no money, no value to travel, can’t come back without it.”
“Heh, then you probably don’t know, there’s fierce fighting going on there now. I heard from our people that he was caught by a Dragon-man Species Queen, and the circus was dissolved in a puff. The fact that he’s a Slime was also discovered… Heh, a demi-human trafficking demi-humans, just wait to collect your good son’s corpse.”
Fisher and Kexie Ning both looked up, Fisher stroked his chin after listening and his mouth curled up a bit, as if recalling something, while Kexie Ning froze in surprise. Unexpectedly, upon hearing that Colin was captured by a Dragon Queen, she didn’t feel any satisfaction that her belongings had been stolen. Instead, she faintly swayed her tentacles on her head and watched as the Slime King positioned the Boundary Flute near his mouth.
