Law of the Swarm

Chapter 165 Extraordinary Creatures
Although when encountering the slime for the first time, System was lured by the scent emitted by the slime, and almost lost his life.

But since System's [Mind Teleportation] talent level has risen, he can perceive the emotions of mushrooms and bacteria and be able to communicate.

In System's eyes, slime is no longer a slime, but a kind of movable mushroom.

Slimes equal mushrooms.

System has always regarded slime as a kind of yogurt-flavored mushroom that he can harvest at any time.

However, after seeing the giant slime in the abyss this time, System's original impression of slime was completely broken.

The giant slime still belongs to the aggregation of microorganisms, and all the microorganisms that make up the body still emit weak emotions.

But unlike ordinary slimes, inside the body of this dark green slime, there is a ball of dark purple gelatinous core the size of a basketball.

This gelatinous core generates slightly complex emotions, which are used to control the actions of the giant slime's body.

Just now, as usual, System used the ability of [Mind Teleportation] to split the giant slime, but he failed because of the core inside the giant slime.

Not only that, because the purple gelatinous core itself is also an aggregate of microorganisms, the emotions produced are mixed in the ordinary green gelatin, making it difficult for System to distinguish these emotions.

If System were to describe it, it would be like in a noisy vegetable market, two market clerks were muttering something in a low voice, and System could not detect it at all.

It was also because of this that System didn't notice the slime's movement before the giant slime bounced towards him.

However, System didn't only have the ability to perceive emotions. Through [intuition] System still dodged the giant slime's movements in advance, and then flew into the sky.

"food……"

Although it has a purple gelatinous core, the giant slime's intelligence is still not high, and the emotions produced have a long delay.

It's like after you slap someone, and then say to that person, I'm going to slap you.

The actions of the giant slime's body are faster than the emotions it produces.

After the giant slime bounced towards System and landed, it sent intermittent mental messages to System. It seemed that it wanted to absorb System as food.

"We are the same, we are the same, we are the same, we are the same..."

While flying, System sent a lie mental message to the giant slime below him, and at the same time used [Detective Analysis] to detect this giant slime.

For this kind of slime with low IQ, based on System's years of deception experience, he feels that there is more than [-]% chance of making this slime believe his lie.

It is even possible for the slime to volunteer the purple-black jelly at the core of its body.

But how long this slime will believe his lies, System still has no way of knowing.

……

Species: Giant Slime (renameable)
Diameter: 2.2-2.3 meters

Weight: 2500-5000 kg
Estimated combat power: 15-1200
special:-
……

Soon, the slime's information was displayed in the [Probe Analysis], and System was very surprised by the column of estimated combat power. There was a span of 15 times between 1200 and 80, which surprised System. Mu couldn't help but increase his defense against this giant slime.

At the same time, System's [intuition] also felt a little uneasy.

System declared that he was of the same kind as the giant slime, which made the giant slime stunned for a short while, apparently thinking about his spiritual message.

"similar……"

After a dozen or so breaths, the giant slime sent out a steady mental message, as if he had agreed with System's words and was successfully deceived by System.

However, just when System felt that he had the chance to win, he decided to further deceive the giant slime, wanting to make the giant slime actively split, and then provide him with a purple-black gelatin core.

The body surface of the giant slime suddenly trembled like a wave, and then surged violently.

The gelatinous ball with a diameter of two meters stretched out more than a dozen gelatinous tentacles as thick as human thighs in an instant, and swung towards System in the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Savar, who noticed the strange shape of the giant slime, rushed to the slime's outstretched tentacles in an instant and slashed.

Seeing this, the meat ball on the side also changed its body shape, turning into a giant mosquito with a size of two meters. It seemed that it planned to use the mosquito's straw to suck the slime's jelly.

As for the shadow next to him, he also disappeared, trying to attack the slime.

boom--

Despite the [intuition] warning in advance, and Shava's rescue cut off a few gelatinous tentacles, the speed of the giant slime's waving gelatinous tentacles was still too fast.

As System dodged, the jelly tentacles that Slime waved also changed directions following his dodge.

System still didn't dodge completely, and was hit by a gelatinous tentacle of slime's carapace tentacles surrounding his body for defense.

Because of this, System was knocked away more than ten meters in the air.

In fact, if System hadn't actively adjusted his body state when he came into contact with the jelly tentacles, he might not have been knocked into the air, but rolled up by the slime's jelly, and then put into the slime's body middle.

The slime glue adhering to the carapace produced strong corrosiveness, and the carapace on System's tentacles slightly dissolved, causing System to feel a tingling pain.

Since mastering [Corrosive Slime] and [Plague Slime], System's body has been immune to acidic substances, but this time his body was actually corroded.

The jelly of this giant slime is extremely corrosive, and it is by no means as simple as the aggregation of ordinary slimes.

And just when System felt the corrosiveness of the giant slime glue, the combat power of the giant slime in System [Investigation Analysis] has changed again, from 15-1200 to 1100- 1800.

"Same...like, absorb...absorb..."

The giant slime stopped its movements again, and sent out a mental message again, as if wondering why System, as its kind, as his friend, didn't take the initiative to be assimilated by it.

System also knew that although his previous lie was successful, this lie itself was a mistake.

This giant slime is tougher on its own kind than it is on its food.

Taking advantage of the giant slime's inaction, System, who had reorganized his body, immediately flew high into the sky, and at the same time used the glands in his throat to spray purple-black [plague mucus] towards the slime's body.

System can control [Plague Slime] within ten meters, and even if they are tens of meters apart, System can still feel the activity of [Plague Slime].

And within a few breaths of System's [Plague Slime] hitting the giant slime, the activity of [Plague Slime] had disappeared.

His [Plague Slime] may not have a strong corrosive ability, but it has extraordinary activity and is an extraordinary ability.

Being able to absorb his [Plague Slime] in such a short time, the strength of the giant slime is self-evident.

"extraordinary!?"

System's throat made a hoarse sound unconsciously. It seems that he still underestimated his giant slime friend...
