Chapter 98: Mimic
[You have killed an Aquatic Slime! Exp +5]
[Total Exp: 1135/1600]
Ignoring the notifications, Adrian wiped the sweat off his forehead. He had been killing the slimes for hours and had yet to get his hands on the organ he desired the most... their membrane.
Despite failing to get the desired skills, killing slimes proved more beneficial than he had expected. Hunting slimes was easy, and he could kill them endlessly to farm exp.
’Thanks to all the beasts I saw since coming here, the codex was upgraded to level 3,’ Adrian thought before closing the status tab.
Adrian checked his monster codex, hoping for an upgrade. Even though the monster codex had upgraded to level 3, Adrian’s organ absorption slots remained at five, except for the Minotaur’s heart.
He had yet to gain an extra slot as he thought he might because the Faithful Spouse only gave him an organ slot ahead of time, not a new one as she had informed him.
’I guess even the mighty entities have to work within some constraints.’ Adrian shook his head as the gentle rustle of leaves and the occasional chirp of birds stole his attention.
Life in the tribes, despite the hardships, wouldn’t have been too bad had he not been a slave, that is. Moreover, he had already given up hope of ever returning to earth, so if he ever wanted to settle, living with the Banurs seemed like a good choice once he was done avenging his death.
As Adrian pondered his life with Banurs, a bird had the misfortune of landing in the pond. Slimes, quick to pounce on any prey, swarmed towards her. Without hesitation, Adrian used a pitchfork to flick her out of harm’s way.
While it wasn’t the kindest way of saving the bird, it was the quickest, and sometimes, being quick was more important than anything. The slimes, upset by the bird’s disappearance, nestled in the bottom of the pond as usual.
