A crossbow arrow flew by, piercing into the slime's body.

The green slime was indeed resting. After the arrow hit its body, it inexplicably wobbled, as if just waking up.

Slowly, it fell from the tree, its body transforming midair into a broad membrane, allowing it to glide toward Kane and his group.

"This is pretty interesting," Kane thought.

Throughout the slime's glide, Kane and his team did not attack, waiting for the slime to strike first.

When the green slime finally glided over and fell before them, part of its body morphed into a spike, aiming at Kreya.

To make the spike powerful, it had to be solidified. Kreya's hand instantly wielded a long-handled warhammer.

The warhammer in Kreya's hand was as nimble as her arm, striking the spike and shattering it, spreading the green slime's gel everywhere.

The green slime didn't behave like the blue slime, which immediately sought its missing parts, but instead started attacking again, sending several spikes at once, all of which Kreya shattered.

From nearly a meter in diameter, its body shrank to the size of a head, moving very sluggishly, then shattered without waiting for Kane's group to attack.

All around, there were large and small green water droplets; before the slime's death, they felt gel-like, but upon death, they turned into liquid encased in bubbles.

Everyone collected the water droplets around them.

With the same motion, they sliced open the droplets, pouring out the bubbly liquid inside.

Kane thought the liquid from the slain green slime's droplets wouldn't be carbonated water anymore, but surprisingly it still was. After tasting it, he realized the taste was somewhat familiar.

Yes, it hit him.

It's Sprite.

"Ah, this brings back memories."

Thinking about it made Kane suddenly excited; with the taste of Sprite, there might be a flavor akin to cola.

That was Kane's former favorite.

Without hesitation, Kane and his teammates began searching the area, testing the different colored slimes to see if their flavors varied.

Not all colored slimes left behind carbonated water once dead.

Only those whose leftover droplets had fine bubbles tasted carbonated, many tasted like fruit juice.

Kane's group defeated two orange-yellow slimes; one tasted like juice, the other classic Fanta.

The same colored slimes could have different tastes.

Kane kept seeking slimes with bodies colored black or close to black.

Because the slime's body color is greatly linked to its flavor.

During their quest, Kreya and her group tasted each slime's liquid, searching for their preferred flavor.

Ultimately, they each found their favorite type, and Kane's group allocated the slime droplets according to their tastes.

Lilulu and Kreya preferred juice-like liquids while Longbei favored carbonated water, especially one with a hint of alcohol; his favorite.

Meizike and Kane liked various carbonated waters, so they split that type of droplet but Kane still sought a cola-like flavor.

"Wait, is that one golden?"

While wandering the forest searching for flavorful slimes, they finally spotted their mission target.

A ray of golden sunlight pierced through the canopy gaps.

The light fell upon a golden object—a slime, making it shine more brilliantly.

"That must be it. The mission goal is to capture it alive," Kane said, swinging to the golden slime using Spider Silk.

The golden slime noticed Kane's group but didn't attack like the others; instead, it swiftly began bouncing away without the slightest thought of engagement.

This confused Kane a bit, but he didn't let the golden slime escape. In a split second, a transparent box trapped the bounce in mid-air.

The box containing the golden slime floated toward Kane.

Holding the transparent iron box, the golden slime inside immediately became a puddle, its liquid undulating, attempting to escape.

"What flavor might the golden one be?" Lilulu asked, flying over and looking at the transparent box in Kane's hand.

Seeing Lilulu's questioning gaze, Kane shrugged, indicating he didn't know either, since he hadn't tasted it before.

Suddenly, a blue holographic projection appeared before them.

It showed the introduction of Honey Slime.

When they accepted the commission, it noted the slime's liquid was extremely sweet.

Now through the display, the imagination of such sweetness reached a new level.

It revealed the golden slime's liquid had the top-tier sweetness in the world, resembling honey.

Kane didn't need to look back to know Lilulu and Kreya's eyes must be sparkling.

Looking at their captured target, Kane turned to his teammates.

"We've captured the target, should we head back or…" Kane tilted his head, suggesting.

Seeing the group's expression, Kane laughed: "Alright, let's continue."

And with that, he led the team toward the forest boundary, ensuring no slime would escape their grasp.

They aimed to make every encountered slime part of their beverage stash.

Wherever they passed, no slime survived, their trail like an eraser wiping a pencil-written notebook.

"Brown-black, a brown-black slime." Kane suddenly exclaimed, noticing it hiding near the tree corner.

Kreya's group found Kane's excitement curious; what was special about this color slime?

Without explaining, Kane flashed over next to the black slime.

The black slime was startled by Kane's sudden appearance, turning part of its body into a black giant hammer, swinging at Kane.

Standing his ground, Kane's transparent hammer under his control struck back. The black slime showed its temper, attacking fiercely, unbothered by its shrinking body.

Soon it had shifted into a very small form, shattering on the spot.

Gazing at the scattered black droplets all around, Kane's mood surged with excitement.

Collecting all the black droplets, Kane looked at the liquid bubbling from the black droplet.

The liquid inside bore an uncanny resemblance to cola; though it had been long since Kane drank it, he still remembers vividly.

Could it be cola? Is this the taste of cola?
