Slime True Immortal-Chapter 111: The Count of Blanc's Luck

Huh?
A poison-stinger wasp that can spray water?
An elite variant?
No, it's a supernatural power—water control supernatural power!
The surprise came too suddenly, and Chen Yu only just realized that the pool accumulated by the "Qian Yuan Spirit Nurturing Art" had finally produced something.
This wasp guard being able to awaken a supernatural power so quickly could be considered the chosen one of the poison-stinger wasp race.
"Ah!!"
At this moment, deep within the lava well, the remaining lava demonic bats emitted shrill and furious shrieks, but they clearly recognized the terror of the enemy outside and chose to huddle in their nest, no longer coming out.
Eh, he thought these lava demonic bats would keep fighting stubbornly to the end, but he didn't expect them to stop coming out after just a few hits.
They're too cowardly.
But they can regenerate health inside the lava, so if they're trapped, they can just lie down in their nest and slack off;
only stupid demonic bats would come out.
"Caw caw! Your Majesty is mighty, scaring these featherless bats so much they don't even dare to come out." Count Bran proudly flew down to the sulfur hill, completely ignoring the steaming hot vapor.
Meanwhile, the gluttonous Peachy didn't care about any of this;
its massive body was soaking at the edge of the hot spring, "crunch crunch" chewing on the obsidian fragments formed after the lava demonic bats cooled down, eating with great relish, and even letting out a satisfied, sulfur-scented burp.
Chen Yu decided to rest and regroup for a moment, summoning the poison-stinger wasp that could control water.
The wasp guard landed in front of Chen Yu, respectfully lowering its head, several small hands rubbing against the gel to show respect.
"Show me your water control ability again."
The wasp guard tilted its head, but the clever creature seemed to understand, raising a small hand.
A stream of warm spring water, as if pulled by an invisible force, separated from the water surface, winding upward like a spirit snake, lightly swirling around its body, forming a flowing water ring.
Chen Yu quickly noticed the difference between this water control supernatural power and the supernatural powers of the Xu Xuan Heaven demons.
The water controlled by the wasp guard came from the dungeon, carrying faint mana, and seemed to be assimilable by it.
Isn't this equivalent to temporary mana?
This thing might seem useless, but the wasp guard possesses a magical creature talent called "Mana Explosion."
So, using the supernatural power to draw water, then detonating the mana inside it seemed like a feasible plan.
He had the wasp guard try it.
The wasp guard's compound eyes flickered a few times, as if engaged in complex thought.
A few seconds later, its small hands trembled slightly, as if gathering all its strength.
The water swirling around its body began to spin violently, eventually condensing into a crystal-clear water ball, which was pushed toward the sulfur hill ahead.
Count Bran had also been watching curiously, wondering what His Majesty was tinkering with now, but seeing the water ball fly toward the sulfur hill not far from it, it suddenly had a bad feeling and hurriedly flapped its wings to take off.
Just as the water flow landed on the hill four meters away, the surface of the water droplets violently shook, the mana rapidly extinguishing, erupting with a gray flash.
"Boom!!"
The water ball exploded with a roar, sending sulfur stones flying everywhere;
the power was actually no less than one of Chen Yu's Little Arrow Techniques, and the explosion range was even wider.
Seeing this, Count Bran's eyes widened, and its jaw nearly dropped in shock.
Magical creatures releasing powerful attacks isn't strange.
A single poison-stinger wasp wouldn't even catch its eye.
But if this explosion was caused by a poison-stinger wasp... that's just too frightening for a bird.
What kind of scene hasn't Count Bran seen? But this one, it really hasn't.
Chen Yu also bounced his body in surprise.
But while the power is great, it doesn't seem to last very long.
The little guy was now exhausted and lying on the ground, only its slightly trembling antennae proving it was still alive.
"Medic, get a medic over here."
A beetle flew over, airdropping moss monster rations.
The wasp guard hugged the moss monster and chewed for a good while before recovering, regaining some vitality, but its antennae still drooped listlessly.
Water control supernatural power and the Mana Explosion talent.
This wonderful combination opened a new door to a whole new world for Chen Yu.
His mind instantly became active.
Since the big one isn't sustainable, then make it scatter like heavenly flowers.
If it can assimilate mana, then simply prepare potions rich in mana to pair with the wasp guard.
If this thing can be detonated... he dares not imagine how terrifying the power would be.
Chen Yu patted this wasp guard with infinite potential using his gel hand, full of expectation.
"From now on, your name is 'Beet.' This is a name that will resound throughout the dungeon, making all poison-stinger wasps look up to you."
"Bee... et?"
"Exactly, it means you're stronger and more powerful than other poison-stinger wasps."
"Beet!" Its compound eyes seemed to light up at this moment.
The King's recognition, happy!
The immense sense of honor and power almost made it forget its fatigue;
it seemed to already see the Queen Wasp being proud of it.
...
Soon, the team finished resting, and the magical creature army advanced again, like a black tide, carrying a heart-palpitating hum and Peachy's heavy footsteps, surging toward the depths of the lava well where flames shot skyward.
This massive commotion clearly thoroughly alarmed the demonic bats in the lava well.
Their unease turned into hysterical madness.
"Ah!!!"
A shriek far sharper than any before, carrying some commanding intent, exploded from the deepest part of the lava.
In an instant, like cold water thrown into boiling oil, dozens of lava demonic bats let out frantic shrieks, wrapped in scorching heat waves, shooting out from the lava surface "Bang! Bang! Bang!" like arrows released from a bow.
They no longer probed;
as soon as they appeared, they opened their mouthparts, spewing dense lava fireballs that rained down like meteors onto the advancing magical creature army.
Count Bran hovered gracefully in mid-air, commanding, "Tear open your magic scrolls!"
Ten steadfast poison-stinger wasps moved forward, biting open leaves, and immediately, dull yellow steadfast protections lit up one by one, forming a golden wall blocking the front of the magical creature army.
"Thud! Boom!"
Dense lava fireballs smashed fiercely against the golden wall, exploding into patches of blazing sparks;
the protection shook violently, spiderweb cracks appearing on its surface, but it stubbornly did not shatter, firmly blocking this wave of frenzied assault.
Then they quickly counterattacked.
Since there were beetles handling logistics this time, Chen Yu could also fight without holding back.
Eight stone swords shot out from the gel, each carrying a small lump of gel, transforming into chaotic gray shadows that collided with the lava demonic bats.
[Mud Pellet Sword Crafting]
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"Mana Explosion" Lv.5 endowed the gel with powerful explosive force;
nine lava demonic bats exploded on the spot, and only one lava demonic bat was grazed by the explosion's shockwave on half its body, dragging its mangled body wailing as it fell into the scalding lava, barely saving its life.
"Your Majesty is mighty! Caw caw! Invincible!" Count Bran excitedly circled in the air, flattering.
On the battlefield, stone swords flew and cut, explosive wasp soldiers fired their poison stingers in volleys to detonate, wasp guards precisely detonated for finishing blows... a brutal massacre unfolded above the lava well, with lava demonic bats constantly falling like dumplings into water.
Seeing its subjects suffer such heavy losses, the hidden presence deep in the lava could no longer restrain itself.
"Roar—!!!"
Accompanied by a shriek filled with fury and destructive aura, the entire lava pool boiled violently, and a massive shadow suddenly broke through the lava, soaring into the sky.
This was a boss demonic bat far larger than ordinary ones.
Its unfolded wings were entirely made of flowing dark red lava, edges dripping with scorching fire droplets;
each flap stirred up scorching storms, raining down fireballs on the front line of steadfast poison-stinger wasps.
This size... definitely a silver-tier magical creature.
But Chen Yu had been waiting for it.
A pure water ball immediately gathered in front of Chen Yu's chest, elongating into an arrow, aimed at the charging boss demonic bat.
"Whoosh! Thud!"
The boss demonic bat let out a miserable cry, its wing severed;
its massive body, losing balance, wailing as it crashed into the churning lava pool like a kite with a cut string.
But relying on its lava regeneration ability, in just a moment, it fully recovered and flew out again to provoke.
But the magma jets were all blocked by Beet's water shield.
"Hey, still daring to provoke."
Chen Yu immediately secreted an extra-large lump of gel attached to a stone sword and launched it.
The boss wanted to spray magma to block, but was utterly disoriented by Chen Yu's sword control skills;
the gel lump hit its back, instantly causing mana to boil.
"Boom!!!"
A loud roar echoed through the dungeon dome;
the boss exploded into a rain of lava that pattered down.
The steadfast shield endured the baptism of the explosion's shockwave and the lava rain, flickering violently, covered in cracks, but ultimately did not shatter, protecting the army below.
Count Bran in the air wasn't so lucky;
it was slightly closer to the explosion center, hit by a few splashes of scalding lava, its beautiful tail feathers instantly igniting.
"Gaaahhh—It burns! It burns this Count to death!"
Bran screamed, like a firecracker on fire, plunging headfirst into the hot spring below, "Sizzle" producing a large plume of white steam, before scrambling to flap its wet, partially bald tail to climb ashore.
"Ouch, why is this Count so unlucky."
If Count Bran is unlucky, doesn't that mean their luck should explode next?
Chen Yu's mind stirred;
riding Little Ka, he ran to the sulfur hill and found a still-beating lava heart, seemingly the boss demonic bat's magic organ.
And beside it lay a pitch-black ring, like some kind of magical artifact.
