Little Slime moved his body and lazily replied:
"Hmph, who do you think this king is? This king is a legendary decisive weapon, a super creature left over from the Age of Gods. Serge... how could this king not remember a map of the activities of the giant race? By the time we get to this lake, this king already has a rough idea of where it is!"
The little slime turned into an arrow shape, first pointing to the north, and said:
"The course of action this time should be correct so far. The Jinyao giant's range of activities is indeed in that direction. In the specific situation, I have to go further north to remember that you, as my favorite servant and Mount, just carry this king well and move on, serge!"
The arrow of Little Slime changed to the east, which is where the lake is currently located, and continued:
"If you go that way, the number of giants will become denser. There is a mountain in the east, and the tribes of giants under the mountain have been relatively dense since ancient times. On the map that the king saw before, that place is marked with a key point It’s a symbol. For safety’s sake, you must never go over there, Serge!”
Little Slime turned the arrow again, this time pointing to the northwest, thought for a while and said:
"This king remembers that there used to be some tribes of giant tribes over there, but this time we have never met any large-scale forces along the way. This king's memory should not be a problem, which means that those giant tribes have been killed. Yes. Serge! After all, if an army of that level comes every year, most of the tribes composed of low-level giants will not be able to bear it? This is good news for this king. Go to my warm little den—"
In the afternoon, Lid planned to go to the lake to catch two more fish for dinner, but Alayah refused to let Lid take another risk in the center of the lake no matter what. If she hadn't run so fast at noon, all three of them would have died in the belly of the fish when those terrifying creatures in the lake broke through the ice.
In the end Lied had to dig a hole in the ice near the shore and try his luck in the shallow water. While not as exciting as fishing in the middle of a lake, the safety factor is several notches up. Even so, Alaya had to stand behind Lid the whole time, her eyes kept sweeping over the ice, ready to pick Lid up and flee back to the shore at any time.
By the time of dinner in the evening, Lide had caught about 20 fish that were about the length of his hand. Although the size is not small, there is still a significant gap compared to the one at noon. This time, Lide sprinkled some rice into the soup and specially simmered it for a longer time, making it a delicious fish soup with rice.
There is no sun beyond the Great Wall, and the heavy snow has been falling non-stop. But there is still a big difference between day and night. During the day, you can see things clearly. Although the dark clouds are thick, they can't block all the light. But once at night, the moonlight and starlight will be completely covered by layers of black clouds, and the whole world will be pitch black. Except for a small area illuminated by the fire, there is deep darkness in any direction in all directions.
It feels like there is only a small corner of the world left in front of me, and the darkness has swallowed everything behind me. After some psychological struggle, Alaya carefully sat next to Lied, only to find that Shiloh had already laid down on his lap and slept soundly.
In the second half of the night when it was just dawn, another giant passed by and was killed by Alaya and Hilo. Another lacquered moon armor was stripped off and thrown into the backpack. The little slime yawned and ate the rest, and then spit out a piece of crystal into Lid's palm as usual.
I don't know if it's because this giant is stronger than last time, and the pattern on the crystal is also richer than the previous one, but it's still less than a quarter. After looking at it for a while, Lide confirmed that he had never seen this ornament before, and put it together with the last crystal, saving it for the little slime temporarily like parents save their children's New Year's money.
Fishing, eating, hunting giants, resting, fishing again...
Primitive and simple loop.
The next night Lid had a whim and decided to go fishing by the lake at night, but was almost swallowed by the fish again. This time he had been fishing in shallow water very carefully, but suddenly a ray of light lit up under the ice. Lide couldn't help lying down on the ice to see what was underneath, but a huge strange fish crashed into the ice with a bang, and the ice on the shore instantly burst into cracks one after another .
Thanks to the relatively thick ice on the shore, the underwater monsters collided with each other several times without any results, so they could only leave in resentment. And in the first impact, that huge strange face hit the translucent ice surface, and Lid could clearly see its strange face: a face that seemed human but not human, and the two huge eyes seemed to have already Degenerated, the whole eyes are only dark eyeballs, there is a curved antenna on the forehead, and the top of the antenna exudes a soft light.
Lied frowned slightly.
He had seen similar creatures—the deep-sea anglerfish, commonly known as the lanternfish, a fish that lives on the bottom of the sea.
However, it was different from what he had imagined. Not only did this lantern fish look more ferocious, but it was also at least two to three times the size of Lide. Although the thick ice kept this terrifying fish in the water, it is not difficult to imagine what a shocking scene it would be if this creature jumped out.
For example, Lid felt that Alaya might not be able to beat it, especially when it was in the water. The extremely low water temperature will instantly paralyze one's nerves. In this case, being dragged into the bottom by such a monster makes one's spine shudder just thinking about it. Once injured, the smell of blood will attract more monsters, and they will be torn into a pile of fragments in the blink of an eye.
Lid asked if the little slime was a giant. Even the fish here are huge, but after thinking for a long time, the little slime said that he didn't know:
"Serge... This king has no impression of this at all... Could it be that the creatures in the lake have evolved into this way during the years that this king has been sleeping? Umm, it's not impossible! She looks like she is being slaughtered, she must have been eaten up long ago!"
Although Little Slime didn't take it seriously, Lid stared at the dark lake water for a long time.
The lantern fish seems to have been not too far from the lake, and it seems that there are many of its kind in the huge lake. If you observe carefully, you can see that an area on the distant ice surface will suddenly light up from time to time, and then quickly return to silence.
Sitting by the lake, Lid tapped his knees with his index finger, and suddenly said to Little Slime:
"You said that if you go further east, there are countless giant tribes. I want to go there and have a look."
