Chapter 60: Chapter 59: Water Slime
Chapter 59: Water Slime
"From now on, this will be called Goblin River!"
Standing high up, Li Meng looked far into the distance. The forest river meandered forward, stretching to the edge of his sight.
Li Meng, perched on the treetop, put away the wooden board and swiftly slid down the tree.
As soon as he landed, his figure flickered as he ran down the mountain.
Over the next few days, Li Meng focused on one task: mapping the areas along both banks of Goblin River.
It was a new day on the southern bank of Goblin River.
Deep within the dim forest, Li Meng strolled leisurely, holding a wooden map board and making adjustments with charcoal.
After several days of following the river upstream, Li Meng gained significant insight, memorizing the terrain and topography on both sides of Goblin River.
"This smell... Hmm, I've never encountered it before!"
Li Meng suddenly stopped in his tracks as he walked slowly through the forest. He raised his head slightly, his nose twitching as he sniffed the peculiar scent in the air.
"Could it be a high-level magical beast?"
He looked towards the depths of the forest, pondering to himself.
The tribe was located at the northern edge of Goblin Forest, making encounters with high-level magical beasts rare.
Even in regions inhabited by the savage tribe, spotting such beasts was difficult, as the tribe would actively drive away or hunt them down.
Although powerful, the lack of intelligence among magical beasts was their greatest weakness, often making even the strongest of them prey for hunters.
"Let's take a look!"
Curiosity propelled Li Meng to head towards the source of the scent.
After walking about three hundred meters, he suddenly saw a sunlit clearing in the forest ahead.
Seeing this, Li Meng quickly darted behind a large tree, cautiously peeking out from behind it to observe.
What he saw left him stunned.
Before him lay a forest lake.
The lake wasn't large, covering only about 2,000 square meters.
Its water was shallow and crystal clear, revealing its bottom.
Within the lake were some round, semi-transparent small creatures.
[Water Slime]
[Level: 1]
[Strength: 1]
[Defense: 1]
[Agility: 1]
[Magic Power: 3314]
[Elemental Affinity: LV3]
The peculiar attribute panel left Li Meng, still hiding behind the tree, in disbelief.
All its stats were at 1, even its level.
Yet its magic power was astonishingly high at 3314.
Such an extraordinary magic power stat, yet without offensive magical skills?
This was beyond bizarre.
"Unexpectedly, it's a Water Slime!"
Hiding behind the tree, Li Meng's eyes gleamed with greed as he stared at the Water Slimes in the lake.
The skills of the Water Slime were exactly what he needed.
With the "Elemental Affinity" skill, the problem of insufficient magic power could be perfectly resolved.
Glancing at the ground, Li Meng bent down to pick up a stone roughly the size of half a fist.
Weighing the stone in his hand, he looked towards the lake, searching for a target.
"You're the one!"
Locking onto the nearest Water Slime, Li Meng assumed a throwing posture behind the tree.
With a forceful swing of his right arm, the stone flew out.
Pa!
The stone swiftly crossed a distance of over twenty meters, striking a Water Slime.
With a pop, the Water Slime's body burst like a balloon, quickly dissolving into the water.
Witnessing this, Li Meng froze.
Meanwhile, the death of their companion startled the remaining Water Slimes.
They all transformed into water and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the Water Slimes vanish, Li Meng, still hiding behind the tree, was dumbfounded.
"How am I supposed to catch them like this?"
Li Meng emerged from behind the tree, exasperated as he looked at the tranquil lake.
"I don't believe you won't come out!"
After a while, Li Meng left the lakeside and hid in the forest again.
Time ticked by, hour after hour.
Three hours later, still at the forest near the lake...
"Why hasn't anything happened yet?"
Hiding behind the tree, Li Meng continued observing the lakeside.
So much time had passed, yet the lake remained motionless.
"Could it be they won't come out again?"
Reluctantly, Li Meng decided to keep waiting.
Another hour passed...
A whole day passed...
Three days later, at noon, near the forest by the lakeside.
"Damn it, come out already!"
Frustrated, Li Meng carried a large stone as he angrily emerged from the forest.
With a heavy throw, the boulder splashed into the water.
"Come out! Come out!"
Fuming, Li Meng began hurling stones from the lakeside into the water, creating a spectacle of splashes.
The sound of water echoed throughout the area.
"You won't come out, huh? Let's see how long you can hide!"
After three days of waiting, Li Meng lost his patience.
Quickly, he approached a massive boulder on the lakeside.
Gripping it with both hands, he forcibly pulled it out from the soil.
"I'll crush you all!"
The several-ton stone was hurled into the lake, landing with a thunderous splash.
A massive column of water shot skyward.
The water's surface rippled violently, forming small waves that spread outward.
After venting his frustration, Li Meng lay on the lakeside, panting heavily.
"You little cuties, you sure know how to waste my time!"
Cursing under his breath, Li Meng crawled to the water's edge and drank from the lake.
"Bleh, what the hell? No taste at all!"
After a few gulps, he spat out the water in disgust.
[Skill successfully activated: Obtained skill "Elemental Affinity"]
The sudden system prompt stunned Li Meng.
"Damn, is this even possible?"
Li Meng was bewildered, his emotions a mix of surprise and amusement.
He had waited three days in vain, only to gain the "Elemental Affinity" skill in such an unexpected manner.
"Could the water in this lake be made of Water Slime body parts?"
The tasteless water was evidently not ordinary.
If it wasn't water, then what was it?
With a thought, Li Meng opened his character panel.
[Name: Gobumeng]

[Elemental Affinity: LV1 (Magic Power +1000)]
As expected, his magic power had increased, surging by 1000.
"Could the water in this lake be liquid magic power?"
Realizing the possibility, Li Meng quickly returned to the water's edge and drank several large gulps.
To his disappointment, the magic power stat didn't change at all.
"Guess I was overthinking!"
Smiling wryly, Li Meng stood up.
