Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 870: Chapter 556: The Thing That Should Have Disappeared_2

“Your Excellency, please calm down. This thing is indeed quite strange.”

Nodding to the Rose Marquis, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and then said, “Let us give it a try.”

At this moment, Leo Ray noticed that.

The red rose that the Rose Marquis had originally pinned to his clothes had disappeared without a trace.

However, judging from his rather disheveled expression, it was clear that he had not noticed this.

“My lord, please wait a moment.”

On the other side, Red Night stepped forward with furrowed brows and said, “I think I know what kind of slime this is.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, signaling for her to continue.

Just now, Leo Ray had not only asked the numerous subordinates present.

Moreover, he had also contacted the leaders and other main subordinates from various places through mind talk, giving a detailed description of the appearance of the giant slime.

However, there were no gains. This unbelievably huge slime was undoubtedly beyond the comprehension of everyone.

“My lord, if I’m not mistaken, this slime is called Devouring Slime, and it’s a very special type of slime.”

With a slight bow to Leo Ray, Red Night continued, “Most importantly, this type of slime has not been seen since the Era of Blankness three thousand years ago.”

“The Era of Blankness from three thousand years ago, huh…”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

Needless to say, he had already learned that.

In that unknown period without any records, many once-glorious human nations and other civilizations were obliterated during this mysterious historical lacuna.

For example, the Light Elf Ruins, Winged People’s Barrier Region, the Furnace Castle City in the Immortal Gate, and the Titan Clan Temple that they had once visited.

“Although the Era of Blankness still contains many puzzles and mysteries I have yet to unravel, I believe that as long as we continue to develop, the day will come when we see the blue skies behind the clouds.”

“By then, perhaps I’ll be able to understand the real reason for the Advent of the ten billion lord in this alien world, as well as the terrifying catastrophe and the unknown events that followed after it as a prelude…”

“Of course, for the present me, it is necessary to focus on the present and lay a solid foundation for the terrible challenges that are to come.”

Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this,

the Rose Marquis looked astonished and blurted out to Red Night, “It’s actually a demon beast from before the Era of Blankness? Something that should have vanished has appeared in modern times? How do you know all this?”

Since the Rose Marquis could not see Red Night’s true strength, he subconsciously used an honorific title towards her.

After all, the Rose Marquis knew clearly that this was a subordinate who stayed close to Mr. Lane, and she couldn’t be just an ordinary strong person who had the secret technique of disguising their aura, right?

After a pause, the Rose Marquis added respectfully, “You should know that everything before the Era of Blankness is almost zero knowledge for us humans. After all, the great ancient countries of that time were all destroyed.”

“Your Excellency, now is not the time to talk about these things.”

Just as the irritable dragon girl frowned and was about to tell the noisy Rose Marquis to shut up, Leo Ray raised his hand slightly and said, “Red Night, please continue.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Nodding to Leo Ray, Red Night continued, “As the name suggests, the Devouring Slime is a kind of special slime that eats almost anything, extremely gluttonous. Moreover, as it consumes more and more, its size keeps growing until it reaches an unbelievable scale.””So that’s how it happened… I was wondering how such a massive creature managed to get into this underground wine cellar, but it turns out it grew up in here.”

Hearing this, Ariel Watson put her hand on her hip and nodded thoughtfully, “This is exactly like the mythical beast Glutton from the other world.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly.

Without a doubt, the reason Ariel knew about the myth from the Summer Realm’s Earth was because King West had recorded it at the time.

“Moreover, the Devouring Slime has two particularly tricky characteristics. First, even though it’s only a Tier Second level, its skin becomes tougher as it grows larger, making it almost immune to any physical or magical attacks.”

Red Night glanced at the huge shadow and continued, “Secondly, in order to avoid predators, it is good at hiding its scent. It releases special magical particles in the air that neutralize its own scent. However, it seems to forget this when belching or eating too happily.”

“I see. No wonder the creature’s scent keeps appearing and disappearing, making it impossible to pinpoint its location. That’s why.”

Hearing this, Bianca White, who was nearby, nodded thoughtfully.

When he thought about it, Leo Ray realized it was quite similar to the Oriole bird. The Oriole emits strange sound waves to hide its energy fluctuations, while this creature hides its scent. They both have their respective advantages.”

Leo Ray secretly pondered, “However, apart from a very small number of races like Snow Wolf Clan, which Bianca is a part of, who have the special talent of discerning scents, even Tier 5 Powerhouses cannot do it. So, hiding one’s scent wouldn’t be that beneficial for humans.”

“Sir, that’s not the most important thing.”

On the other side, Red Night bowed slightly and spoke again to Leo Ray, “As far as I know, the key is that even if it eats a lot, these Devouring Slimes reach a critical point. Once they reach that point, there would be a massive explosion.”

Taking a deep breath, Red Night said solemnly, “The power of the explosion would be equivalent to the strongest magic unleashed by a Tier 5 Peak Expert!”

“What?! Wouldn’t that mean both this cellar and my City Lord Mansion would be reduced to ruins?!”

Upon hearing this, Rose Marquis, who had a huge frame and was looking for the red rose on his coat, nearly fainted.

“If that’s all that happens, that would be the least severe outcome.”

With a slight furrow of her brow, Red Night spoke lightly.

“I didn’t expect those messengers from the Royal Capital to be so vicious. They want to completely annihilate me, the City Lord, my invaluable wine cellar collection, and my most elite guard corps.”

Talking with his mouth twitching, Rose Marquis felt a chill run down his spine.

One could imagine that had it not been for the visit of Mr. Lane and the Princess, even if he had discovered the situation in the wine cellar in time, he might never have thought that this creature could explode.

The situation would have been self-evident.

“Alright, Red Night, let’s talk about the solution.”

Noting that the dense hair on Rose Marquis’s neck had begun to stand on end, Leo Ray nodded to the dragon woman and asked, “Since this creature has strong resistance to both physical and magical attacks, what is its weakness?”

“My lord, naturally it’s my specialty.”

Red Night smiled, and a mixture of orange-red and white flames suddenly rose from her slender hand, causing the surrounding temperature to rise considerably.

Wobbling the intense flame in her hand, Red Night added, “Of course, there’s a precondition. Even the fierce flames cast by Tier 4 Powerhouses might not be enough to harm it.”

“Fierce flames from Tier 4 Powerhouses can’t cause any damage?!”

Feeling the heat of the flame, Rose Marquis, who was a great plant-based mage, involuntarily backed away a few steps and thought in amazement: “So, aside from that tall, burly man, Mr. Lane has two National-level Tier 5 experts with him?!”
