Chapter 639: Slime Hunting (Part )
The slime quickly floated out of Nami Village.
Even though it has lost nearly half of its "body", it is still able to fly so steadily?
This made Zhou Qing realize that the speed of information transmission between this group of "microorganisms" was extremely fast and the execution efficiency was also very high.
"Want to go?"
Dugu Bo stood in front of the slime at a speed almost like teleportation.
The latter seemed to sense something and braked in mid-air and moved to the other side.
"Let's see if you can resist my green phosphorus dragon poison!" Dugu Bo put his right fingers together and flicked them lightly, and a drop of dark green jade fell towards the slime.
The moment the jade bead touched the slime, the slime's irregular tentacles that were spreading everywhere quickly shrank back, and ripples appeared all over its body, shaking constantly.
After a while, the whole slime changed from purple to dark green, and drops of purple and green liquid continued to drip.
But Dugu Bo couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Those dripping liquid masses were formed by the dissolution of the individuals that made up the slime, but the green phosphorus dragon poison in them had been neutralized.
That is, non-toxic!
The remaining slime mass suspended in the air shrank by nearly half again, and the bone structure inside it also shrank by one-half, and was expelled along with the liquid masses.
After another three minutes, the dark green color of the slime group faded and turned purple again.
At this time, Dugu Bo threw out another drop of green phosphorus dragon poison, but the slime group was no longer affected after contact, and even secreted a corresponding dark green mucus flow, which sprayed towards Dugu Bo.
This time Dugu Bo was really shocked!
It was not this stream of dark green mucus that caused him harm, but he was sure that the mucus spewed out by the slime contained a large amount of green phosphorus dragon poison!
Although the poison that he was so proud of killed a large part of the individuals in the slime group, the remaining ones not only had resistance, but were even able to replicate the Green Phosphorus Dragon Poison!
This is simply——
The big joke of slipping the world!
"It has strong adaptability and has replicated the old monster's poison... The efficiency of information transmission and execution between each other is extremely high, it has strong perception ability, and can learn and imitate, and has group social characteristics." Zhou Qingyue said, his eyes brighter, and he realized that if this thing could become a soul beast, it would be much better than the candidate for the future fourth soul ring he envisioned for Romantina.
The only problem is that after this slime is killed in the outside world, the rules of Douluo Continent determine the situation of its soul ring dropping:
Should it be judged as an independent organism?
Or do you think of it as countless tiny independent organisms?
After all, each individual particle of this thing has independent and relatively complex organ tissues... If it is the former, only one soul ring will drop; if it is the latter, there is a probability that countless white soul rings will drop.
"Old monster, catch him, I want him alive!"
The experiment yielded results.
Zhou Qing naturally wanted to study this slime.
"You really know how to make things difficult for others!"
Dugu Bo's face turned dark, but he could only fulfill Zhou Qing's wish and slapped the slime to pieces again.
Without waiting for it to recover, Dugu Bo grabbed the slime liquid that still retained its activity and the bone structure that had been ground into powder, and put them into the treasure bag.
The treasure bag is a storage soul guide used by Dugu Bo to store living things. Its main function is to store the Nine-Section Jade.
But the Nine-Section Jade he carried with him was already dead, so it could naturally be used to store the slime. "Wulala!"
"Makala!"
“Woo woo ha ha!”
The mutants raised their spears and guns and cheered loudly.
The slime left on the ground dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye and merged into the space.
Then, a sesame-sized, crystal clear crystal of spiritual power emerged out of thin air and fell into Dugu Bo's hands - this was a reward for him helping to increase the total value of the village.
"Spiritual power crystals are very rare."
According to the description of the lady boss, the residents of Nami Village cannot obtain spiritual crystals by hunting monsters, because everything they live in comes from Namichi and Nami Village, so as the total value of Nami Village increases, their value will also increase. "From another perspective, we who survive by feeding on the children born by Namichi should give everything to Namichi unconditionally, and there is no need for Namichi to give us the same value. Moreover, everyone is very happy to give to Namichi."
Zhou Qing looked at all the mutants who were cheering and jumping for joy——
Noncommittal.
Is Namiqi punishing her companions for having fed on her children?
not necessarily···
···
Dugu Bo put the sesame-sized spiritual power crystal into another storage soul guide, then slowly landed next to Zhou Qing and handed the treasure bag to Zhou Qing, saying: "Your kindness to me will never be repaid in your lifetime, so there is no need for material equivalent exchange, right? I think the equivalent exchange rules here are mainly based on the intention."
Zhou Qing took it.
really!
The rule of equivalent exchange has not been liquidated.
That's true.
Materials themselves, such as gold and sand, are no different from each other in nature. It is only for objective factors such as survival and development, or emotional sustenance, that humans subjectively give different values to various materials.
From this perspective, this world inside Namichi's body does have a sense of justice.
"Then again, when the slime came in and hurt the villagers, why wasn't it dealt with according to the rule of equivalent exchange?" Dugu Bo asked about this.
"I don't know either." The proprietress did not change her lazy and calm tone just because of Dugu Bo's strength.
"Maybe this creature doesn't have a 'heart'."
Zhou Qing understood the key point. Since in Nami Village, the value is based on the individual's subjective belief in the value of an item, even the slimes, whose life activities are extremely efficient, have no emotions. Therefore, compared to this small world, they are not bound by rules, just like the sand, stones and other natural things in it.
Creatures that abide by the rules naturally have thoughts, emotions, and intelligence, because they can recognize that even if the rules have many loopholes, they are meant to allow them to live and develop better.
It’s just that some rules are indeed designed to sacrifice the interests of the majority in order to benefit a small number of people... These rules that will hinder the interests of the majority must naturally be broken.
“Perhaps when the slime grows to a level similar to that of a hundred thousand year old soul beast and possesses more complex emotions and wisdom, it will be punished by the rules of this Nami Village. Oh no, it should be settled…”
As he spoke, Zhou Qing's gaze fell on a clock tower building not far away, where an alien creature with an asymmetrical face was quietly watching everything below.
