Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

After coming to his senses, Sean once again came to the different space.

The light that served as a protective layer around his body gradually dissipated, and he gradually adapted to the dim environment. The familiar underground cave came into view again.

He immediately activated his ability to investigate, and the bamboo pieces he had buried when he left last time were still lying there quietly. This made him feel a little relieved, at least he was not teleported to a random place, but returned to the place he left last time.

The cave was still damp and cold, and Sean looked around with a flashlight. The light of the flashlight jumped in the darkness, helping him quickly understand the current situation.

Where the light shone, the traces of battle left on the rock walls and the ground were still clearly visible. In addition, there were also some tracks of other creatures crawling near these scratches and potholes.

Sean moved the flashlight closer to observe these dried marks carefully. They had a special gelatinous texture, the same as the gel secreted by the molten slime he encountered before.

It seems that after he left, more slimes came here. Judging from the dried slime, they may have left for some time.

[There may be a gathering place for slimes here. The number is unknown but the distribution is relatively scattered. Or maybe this is the edge and outer area where slimes live] Sean made an inference.

The violent movement last week, a week later, only a few scattered traces of crawling have been found. This effectively supports his conclusion.

After confirming that there were other slimes nearby, Sean became extremely alert and continued to explore carefully.

He slowly walked through the deep cave, going deeper and deeper. Gradually, the mining lamps and glowing fluorescent vines on the rock wall disappeared, leaving only endless darkness surrounding him.

Sean walked slower and slower, and could only rely on the light of the flashlight and his own detection ability to identify the surrounding situation.

The complexity of the cave was beyond his imagination, with endless forks and bends, like a huge maze. He had to bury a bamboo stick as a mark at every fork in the road, just like he did in the dense forest last time.

As Sean went deeper, some strange amber rocks appeared on the rock wall. They flickered faintly under the flashlight, like gems inlaid in the dark. Seeing this, Sean became more cautious.

"Rustle~" The familiar sound of friction on sand and gravel came from the darkness not far away.

Something is happening! Sean turned off the flashlight and quietly moved forward. With the help of the dim light from the amber stone, he saw four slimes, one large and three small.

Just like last time, Sean defeated them one by one, and their bodies would become raw materials for fertilizer production.

Long before entering the space, Sean was still worried about the raw materials of Jinkela fertilizer, fearing that the slimes he encountered last time were only a group of them.

Without the main raw material, he would be unable to produce fertilizer. This would be a huge blow to his subsequent plans. Now Sean felt much more at ease.

As he continued to move forward, Sean encountered several waves of slimes, which he dealt with one by one. As the number of amber rocks increased, the frequency of encountering slimes increased, and Sean felt that he was getting closer and closer to the center of the slime gathering area.

The road ahead became narrower and narrower, until in the end there was only a gap half a person's width left, preventing Sean from passing through.

Sean was observing through the gap with a flashlight. There seemed to be a vast space on the other side of the gap. When the light shone through it, it was pitch black and could not be seen clearly.

As a last resort, Sean had to risk passing through this narrow gap. He took a deep breath, held the flashlight in his mouth, supported himself with both hands on the rock wall, and carefully began to squeeze through the gap.

The flashlight illuminated his surroundings again, and Sean found himself standing above a huge pit, about the size of a gymnasium.

Sean walked to the edge of the pit and looked down. The scene before him made him gasp.

In the pit, groups of slimes were lying in the pits in the cave, with amber rocks piled around them for them to absorb strength.

Some seemed to be splitting, with two bodies, one big and one small, still connected. As the last thread broke, mucus splashed on the rock and soil. The slime completely completed the splitting work and lay motionless in the pit to recover its strength.

The entire pit looked like a huge inverted beehive, with each pit tightly connected like a honeycomb. Thousands of slimes of all sizes filled the entire pit.

"Run away!" Sean's scalp tingled as he watched this, and he wished his parents hadn't given him two more legs.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. After knowing that this seems to be an important place for slimes to split and reproduce, Sean retreated quickly. There is still a long time to come, and at least there will be no shortage of slimes in the future.

Sean went back behind the crack and followed the markings all the way back.

"Tick, tick, tick." When he passed a fork in the road, he heard the sound of dripping water from deep in the fork that he had never been to.

"Something's happening!" Sean changed the direction of retreat and headed deeper into the fork in the road.

Following the faint sound of dripping water, we gradually went deeper into the unknown fork in the road. The surrounding rock walls gradually became slippery, and water dripped from the stalactites on the top from time to time, making crisp echoes in the mine.

Deep in the passage, an underground pool appeared before Sean's eyes. There was not a ripple on the water surface, like a still mirror. Except for the sound of dripping water, the whole environment was eerily quiet, without even a trace of wind.

Sean inexplicably felt a quiet and eerie atmosphere, and the hairs on his body stood on end. It seemed as if there was a violent storm hidden behind the quietness.

He walked to the edge of the pond as if walking on thin ice, and before he could bend down to check the water surface.

Suddenly, a huge leech jumped out of the water and attacked Sean, beyond his perception.

The leech's mouth was wide open, and its two rows of sharp mouthparts flashed coldly under the flashlight, as if it wanted to eat Sean alive.

A tentacle burst out from behind its mouthparts, and disgusting mucus splashed in the air, heading straight for Sean's face. It couldn't wait to taste Sean's delicious blood, and the whole cave was filled with its greedy roar.

Sean reacted quickly, the shield in his hand buzzing and appearing in front of him in time to block the sudden attack.

"That was a close call," Sean exclaimed in his heart. It is true that one should never let his guard down.

Staring at the water surface vigilantly, Sean searched for the leech, ready to give it a fatal blow.

However, the leech seemed to have disappeared into the water, and there was no movement anymore. The surrounding environment returned to dead silence, as if the scene just now was just an illusion. But Sean knew that the leech was still secretly watching him, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.

Holding a shield and standing guard at the water's edge, Sean carefully used his ability to search for the leech that was half the size of a man.

Another tentacle attacked from the blind spot of his vision. Sean quickly took out his throwing axe and chopped it down.

However, the slippery slime prevented his attack from hitting the target, but only caused the monster to retract its tentacles in pain and retreat to the center of the pool, where it angrily stirred up the water surface.

"What a shame!" Sean thought to himself. He lost this precious opportunity. The monster was now out of the attack range of the throwing axe. Now that it had learned its lesson, it would not be easy to get another chance for close combat.

Just as Sean expected, the leech monster stirred up the pond, became turbid, then dived back into the water and disappeared.

Suddenly, a basketball-sized water ball condensed on the pond in the distance and attacked Sean.

Seeing that the water ball looked unkillable and slow in speed, Sean did not dare to be careless and dodged sideways.

The water ball exploded behind Sean, soaking the soil.

In this way, Sean and the leech monster played a game of dodge water balls, and for a while neither of them could control the other.

However, what Sean didn't notice was that the exploding water balls had covered the ground around the pool, and the excess water was slowly seeping into the ground.

Another water ball came at him, and Sean was about to dodge when his feet suddenly stopped and he couldn't avoid it in time. He raised his shield to block it, and the water splashed in front of Sean.

It was then that Sean realized that the entire ground had become muddy, as if someone had cast a swamp spell on it. His feet slowly sank into the mud and he was unable to move.

"Oh no! We've fallen into a trap!" I didn't expect that this leech actually has the ability to control the soil.

With one hand he controlled the water, and with the other hand he controlled the mud, turning the entire surface into a swamp, waiting for Sean to fall into his trap.

His body slowly sank, and Sean struggled in the mud with all his strength, but he could not escape the downward trend because he had no leverage.

At this time, the leeches also stopped attacking and watched Sean quietly from a distance as he was swallowed by the mud.

The soil covered his thighs, abdomen, chest and spread towards his neck. The huge pressure squeezed Sean's chest, almost making him unable to breathe.

From the fierce and futile struggle at the beginning to now lying motionless with eyes closed, Sean seemed to have calmly accepted his fate of being swallowed up.

When the swamp was about to spread to Sean's neck, after confirming that both of Sean's hands were stuck in the mud and he had no strength to fight back.

The leech finally couldn't resist the urge to suck blood and climbed onto the shore. Still worried, it stood on the shore and observed from a distance, then stretched out its tentacles and licked Sean's neck.

Wet, dirty, and disgusting. The slippery tentacles gave Sean goosebumps and he almost vomited out his overnight meal.

On the other side, it was a completely different scene. As if it had encountered the most delicious food in the world, the leech monster swung its disgusting tentacles and happily spun in circles.

Then he slowly crawled towards Sean, ready to open his mouth and taste Sean's supreme delicacy.

Watching the leech getting closer, Sean estimated its distance from the pool of water.

Closer! Closer! The leech came within ten steps of Sean. Sean could clearly see the circular wrinkles hidden under its slippery body and the scarlet cavity behind its open mouth full of sharp mouthparts.

Just as the leech's mouthparts were about to touch Sean's neck, Sean suddenly burst out with amazing strength. He kicked his feet hard a few times, and his body was miraculously pulled upwards.

With his hands finally freed, he used one hand to pick up a shield to block the leech's attack, and the other hand swung a giant axe to chop at the leech. The leech, which had lost its flexibility in the water, was unable to dodge.

A critical hit with outstanding effect!

The leech fell to the ground and twisted wildly on the ground. The disturbed mud and water splashed Sean's face again, and then it became motionless.

Counterattack successful!

Before time went back, when Sean's ankles were trapped by mud and water, he came up with an idea and decided to use his body as bait to attract the leech to the shore.

So Sean took advantage of the illusion of struggling hard and secretly reached his hands into the swamp. He summoned several thick bamboo tubes from the space and placed them in the shape of stairs under Sean's feet.

With the help of these bamboo tubes, Sean was able to use the bamboo tubes to gain leverage at the last moment, break free and complete the counterattack.

If the leech monster could wait a little longer until Sean was completely submerged in the swamp, then Sean's plan would not succeed. It can be said that the leech succumbed to its inner desire to suck blood.

Coming out of the swamp, Sean looked at himself turned into a mud man again and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that he had a connection with mud men these days.

After resting for a while, Sean put his hand on the cold leech as usual.

[A mutant body was discovered. Should a sacrifice be made?] As expected, a message sounded in Sean's consciousness.

【Yes】
