"Blip~ Blip~"

Xiaoruan had a troublesome conversation with the Miner Slime.

The Miner Slime, with its limited intelligence, couldn't explain how it died. It only knew that when the tunnel went dark, it found itself in the Soul Kingdom.

"Could it be that the tunnel collapsed?"

Li Cunxu speculated casually.

Not just one Miner Slime died, but a whole group of them.

Li Cunxu prioritized their resurrection through Xiaoruan.

"First, we harvested the multi-seed durian that can substitute breeding potions, and then we saw the Miner Slime we missed resurrected in the Land of Rebirth. It's just too coincidental."

This abnormal stroke of luck made Li Cunxu consider a possibility.

"Could it be that people outside are helping us? Using the luck blessing technique to aid those swept away by the Celestial Sweeping Comet?"

The luck blessing technique is a Lord skill that can be performed from a distance using one's birthdate, temporarily boosting luck.

It can be cast on an individual or a group.

Casting it on a group is more cost-effective.

Why so? Because the cost for individual and group casting is the same.

"There's a simple way to check whether the luck blessing technique was cast."

Li Cunxu instructed Xiaoruan to carve a six-sided cubic dice from wood and engrave numbers on it.

"I don't like eating durian. If I roll a number less than or equal to three, I'll eat durian; if it's higher than three, I'll reward myself with a durian."

The dice rolls were either five or six.

Li Cunxu rolled six times, and every time was above three.

Li Cunxu then had Chen Lu and Long Xiaoxiao throw it.

Their results were the same.

Looking at the rolled six, Chen Lu asked curiously, "How did you do it?"

Li Cunxu explained his theory about the luck blessing technique being cast on them from outside.

"Perhaps we should change our strategy."

"Change strategy?"

"Yes, tunneling is a cautious approach. Now, with the luck blessing technique, there's some assurance of safety, so we can act more boldly."

"Are we going to take the initiative to rescue people?"

"You're too aggressive."

"Then what should we do?"

"Clear the nearby evil beasts."

"Huh?"

Chen Lu was a bit taken aback; she didn't expect Li Cunxu's plan to be this, and it seemed even more aggressive than her own.

She only wanted to rescue people, but Li Cunxu wanted to kill the evil beasts.

It's like when a robber holds hostages; she wants to rescue the hostages, but Li Cunxu thinks about how to take out the robbers.

Li Cunxu explained, "Why are the secret realms dangerous? Because of evil beasts. They are the source of the danger in the secret realms. If we eliminate this source, we can stay safely in the secret realms."

Long Xiaoxiao raised her hand and asked, "Then why didn't we clear the evil beasts at first?"

"The risk was too great initially with a high chance of accidents, but it's different now. With the luck blessing technique, as long as the luck pool isn't depleted, no accidents will occur."

The luck blessing technique has a communal luck pool. As long as it doesn't run dry, Li Cunxu and his companions will continue to have good fortune.

In fact, Li Cunxu didn't quite understand why Tongdu would go to such lengths to save people.

Using the luck blessing technique once costs a King ten years of his own luck.

"Could it be that the Celestial Sweeping Comet swept away someone very important?"

Li Cunxu couldn't figure it out.

"The first step to clearing the evil beasts is to take out the wandering pack of Evil Big Wolves nearby."

Chen Lu said, "The wolf pack is large in number; we can't win."

"Lure them individually, draw out and kill the Evil Big Wolves one by one from the pack."

"Little Medicine Deer runs fast; it's suitable to be the bait, but the wolves move together as a pack."

"The bait isn't Little Medicine Deer; it's this one, and it can attract the Evil Big Wolves one by one."

Li Cunxu raised the aggressive brother Bully Slime.

"Can it act as bait? It doesn't look very smart," Chen Lu doubted.

"It can. Precisely because it doesn't look smart, it won't alert the pack. To the wolves, Little Medicine Deer is a delectable sheep, making all the wolves want a piece as bait, whereas Bully Slime to them is a pesky fly. Using it as bait can provoke only one wolf to chase it while the others lose interest."

"But there's only one Bully Slime. If it dies, it's gone."

"It's OK. I found the multi-seed durian to grow the Slime tribe."

"Multi-seed durian?"

"The durian tree that birthed the Durian Spirit mutated. Its fruits can spawn little slimes, so I named it multi-seed durian."

"Let's get going! Before the luring, we need to set up escape routes."

Li Cunxu dug eight tunnel entrances on the pre-set battlefield, preparing escape routes.

First plan for defeat, then plan for victory.

"Alright, start the luring."

"Xiaoruan, command the Bully Slime to harass an Evil Big Wolf."

Li Cunxu's plan was good, but reality often doesn't match the idea.

The Bully Slime, with its fierce look and tendency to attack anything, softened when it approached a nearby Evil Big Wolf at the edge of the pack. Though it obeyed Xiaoruan's command to harass the wolf, its weak punch felt too light even to smack tofu.

Its fear of the strong while bullying the weak was on full display.

The Evil Big Wolf, laying on the ground asleep, didn't even open its eyes.

Long Xiaoxiao, with her hands on the tunnel entrance, half her body exposed, said, "The Bully Slime is useless, what do we do next?"

"Don't worry about what we'll do. You should hide well in the tunnel."

Li Cunxu, expressionless, pressed Long Xiaoxiao's head back into the tunnel.

Chen Lu gently scolded, "Xiaoxiao, be obedient and hide well in the tunnel."

"Xiaoruan, since the Bully Slime is useless, bring out another slime."

Xiaoruan dispatched a Durian Slime.

The moment the Durian Slime approached, the Evil Big Wolf twitched its nose, opened its eyes, and upon seeing it was just a slime, lost interest and closed its eyes again.

The Durian Slime donned the Durian Armor and charged, crashing into the backside of the Evil Big Wolf.

The Evil Big Wolf swung its tail, sending the Durian Slime flying into a tree trunk, and then... that was it.

The Durian Slime bit the dust.

Another Durian Slime was deployed but was swatted away with just a flick of the tail.

"Xiaoruan, send in the Fire Slime."

The Fire Slime spewed a fireball, singeing a tuft of fur behind the Evil Big Wolf, which then raged, got up, and was about to tear the overreaching Fire Slime apart.

The other wolves in the pack glimpsed the commotion as the Evil Big Wolf rose to discipline the weak Fire Slime and then closed their eyes again.

The Evil Big Wolf swiftly attacked and crushed the Fire Slime. Just as it was about to return, another Fire Slime in the distance threw a fireball at it, causing the Evil Big Wolf to chase it down and stomp it out. Before it could turn around, a third Fire Slime appeared, pelting it with another fireball.

Once more, the Evil Big Wolf relentlessly pursued and crushed it, gradually wandering away from the pack.

Vines entangled.

Spider silk wrapped around.

The previously ambushed vines bound the Evil Big Wolf's mouth, with spider silk as extra security, preventing it from making a sound.
