The rubble blocking the entrance to the Slime Kingdom is about twenty meters thick. Yang Yu and his friends do not have bodies that can deform at will like He Meng, so they cannot easily pass through the rocks.
Digging up the gravel was time-consuming and laborious, so Yang Yu came up with a solution.
Bai Jin marked He Meng's body, and He Meng jumped onto the rubble, turned into a pool of water, and flowed smoothly through the gaps between the stones.
Using the magic on He Meng to locate the target, Bai Jin dug a vertical hole near the cave entrance blocked by rubble, connecting the passage to the Slime Kingdom.
To ensure that everything was safe, Bai Jin set up a magic teleportation circle on an open space not far from the cave entrance so that if there was any danger, they could return to the ground immediately.
During this time, Yang Yu took out the rope ladder from the system, threw it down the cave, and was the first to enter the cave.
There was still residual heat from Bai Jin's magic around the walls, and the smell of burnt soil penetrated into Yang Yu's nostrils.
The light above his head shrank into a dot, and Yang Yu entered into pitch-black darkness.
After a while, Yang Yu stepped on the cold ground, opened the panel, and He Meng's attribute panel appeared in front of Yang Yu.
He took out a flashlight and turned on the switch, and found that He Meng was indeed not far from Yang Yu.
Shining the flashlight deeper into the cave, the passage to the Slime Kingdom is not wide. The bumpy ground reflects the light of the flashlight, and strange stones are everywhere like mushrooms after a rain.
No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely difficult road to walk.
The others followed Yang Yu's footsteps and fell into the passage. Iyas used the holy light in her hand to illuminate the road in front of Yang Yu. Bai Jin, the last one to enter the passage, used fire magic to illuminate the way behind them.
After confirming that everyone was present, He Meng transformed into a human form and carefully led the way for everyone.
The road to the Slime Kingdom is very long. Even if He Meng rolls all the way down in the form of a slime, it will take at least an hour to reach the Slime Kingdom.
As they walked along the rugged terrain, the cold and damp air came towards Yang Yu and his companions. Occasionally, there was a unique smell around them that made Yang Yu and his companions dizzy.
If ordinary adventurers were to walk in this dark and narrow cave, it wouldn't take long for their mentality to change and they would turn around and run away.
But Yang Yu and his men were not afraid at all.
Suddenly, an inconspicuous stone moved in front of Yang Yu.
Yang Yu suddenly stopped, stopped everyone, and stared at the shaking stone.
I saw a pink gel-like creature coming out from behind the stone.
Sensing the presence of Yang Yu and the others, the pink sticky creature shrank back without saying a word and disappeared behind the rocks.
Seeing this, Iyas tilted his head. Where did that slime come from? Could it have reached the Slime Kingdom
"I didn't expect to run into stowaways here just after returning."
He Meng sighed.
"It's not far from here. I have to tell you in advance that you must not show any hostility or act rashly."
He Meng's words left everyone confused, but not long after, they understood the meaning of He Meng's words.
After following He Meng for another ten minutes, Lotkar, who had a keen hearing, seemed to hear the sound of something slowly crawling.
As the sound moved forward, it became clearer and clearer in Lotkar's ears, and eventually it appeared in the ears of others as well.
Iyas raised the ball of light in her hand and shone it forward.
I saw huge black slimes hanging at the top of the cave, their black bodies expanding and contracting, slowly crawling at the top of the cave.
This scene seemed familiar to Bai Jin and the others, but it was the first time they had seen such a huge slime.
The slime hanging from the top of the cave is as big as a small van, and if it drips down, it can easily crush a cow.
There were many human skeletons and broken armor scattered around these black slimes. The human skeletons had all changed color, the equipment was broken into pieces, and the cloth on them was like paper that could be torn with a single poke.
It seems that some people were very interested in where this cave led to and came to explore the cave, but they were all blocked by the huge slime and never returned.
After identifying the properties of these black slimes, Yang Yu could see that the worst slime here was over level ninety, with an average defense attribute of over two thousand, and extremely high resistance. It would be quite time-consuming for an ordinary adventurer to deal with one, not to mention that there were at least twenty such slimes gathered in this small cave.
These black slimes are the guards protecting the Slime Kingdom.
Illuminated by Iyas' light, a largest mass of black slime fell from the top of the cave, splashed on the ground, and instantly turned into a monster with bared fangs and claws, rushing towards Yang Yu and the others with great momentum.
Seeing this, He Meng calmly stretched out his hand and released magic power to have an encrypted conversation with the slime here.
The huge black slime that had just shown its fangs and claws quickly calmed down, changed its shape, and even took on a human form.
A black slime girl with a curvy figure appeared in front of Yang Yu. She was wrapped in layers of black armor, making her look like a female general.
The black slime saluted He Meng and said:
"Welcome back, little princess. His Majesty will be very happy. I don't know where you have been all these years. His Majesty was very anxious when he couldn't find you."
General Slime suddenly spoke human language, and He Meng was slightly surprised: "You can speak human language and transform. I thought only I could do that."
General Slime chuckled, "Transformation is knowledge taught in college, and human language is the encrypted language of scholars and advanced scholars specializing in anthropology. Your Excellency Princess is still young, and she only graduated from elementary school before she left, so naturally she doesn't know. If Your Highness is interested, you have become a master of human language after traveling in the outside world. Many anthropologists must be very interested in your experience."
When talking about this, He Meng’s head became big, and he urged: “Okay, okay, don’t mention this.
These people behind me are my friends from the human world. I want to take them to the Slime Kingdom. Please make a way for them."
The black slime smiled slightly, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate. This is the Slime Kingdom, not just anyone can enter.
The reason why I use human language to communicate with Her Highness the Princess... Her Highness the Princess and all the humans should understand the significance of doing this, right
Your Highness, please come back with us immediately. The rest of the humans, please leave immediately, or I will be rude to you!"
After saying that, huge black slimes dropped from the top of the cave, one drop after another, and around General Slime, they turned into black monsters with bared fangs and claws.
