Master Of None

Chapter 2346: 2346. Familiar But New



'Jungle slime

This is a variation of the poison slime species. This jungle slime naturally occurs when a large amount of different poison build up. Surprisingly, its body is not as dangerous to touch as some would believe. It attracts a very unique form of poison eating moss which lives over its main body. Causing it to be slightly better defended.

It will also be able to resist magical attacks slightly better while allowing for more of the poisons around it within the poison jungle dungeon to absorb in to its main slime body and then its slime core.

Compared to the artificially created poison slimes, they are also slower growing. Their overall body condenses while it grows allowing it to be tougher. Its slime body is also much more toxic when used as a projectile weapon or when used to encompass prey. Normally, it will not attack anything though as long as it is not bothered.

Its greatest predator are the jungle ants. They will hunt them and keep them to eat the poison eating moss on the slime's body. This often leads to a lot of the moss being discovered outside of their nests made within the largest of dead jungle trees. Otherwise, they fear the strongest of poison wielders within the poison jungle dungeon whose poison can not be defended by many monsters due to the mana attacking effects...'

The jungle slime was just slowly rolling spring ahead of them. It had come through the leaves and begun to move around the Genesis forces. Everyone suddenly noticed it and began to watch it. Walker started to softly explain the all around appraisal.

This was not the actual danger he was worried about. There was another mention of monsters that would be more dangerous. Specifically, he was paying attention to the ants. Ant type insect monsters would be higher in numbers.

The meaning of this would be that they could overwhelm their groups if they were to be found. Especially if they hunted the jungle slimes. This was a food source for those jungle ants. A danger that was attracting more danger.

Even worse, Walker saw that there was a mention of the mana poison again. The very dangerous mana poison that had already been mentioned when he had focused on the sound poison flowers.

Just the fact that there was a poison that could specifically target mana was something impossible in Walker's mind. Mostly because mana was always taking different forms. If there was a poison that would target it, then what did that mean? How could the world or existence eleven keep hold of something like that?

From what Walker understood, the world and everything had been made up of mana to some degree, if not entirely made of manas. This being the case, that would mean that a poison that affected just mana would be extremely dangerous to all things. Potentially destroying mana itself.

He had already been in contact with an herb that caused mana not to flow or people to be unable to sue their mana. That had been a dangerous instance but he had handled it. Yet, if he came in to contact with a position that damaged him through his own mana, he would be at an entire loss.

"Should we capture it?" Gil's comment was because Alma had grabbed a handful of seeds ready to trap the jungle slime in a cage of vines. That way they could transport it or at least its body outside of the poison jungle dungeon.

"No, we are still leaving. We can let this one go. We are not going to go after the jungle ants that eat the moss on its body. We will take some of that fallen moss as it moves. We can make antidotes from the poison eating moss or whatever." There was a lot a poison eating moss could do.

Using it against other poisons, the poison eating moss might change characteristics. Making it ideal for making perfect antidotes. Walker's thoughts about this were simply related to what alchemists would be able to do with it. But there might be more to do with it.

Places where a lot of poisons were released, such as a forge's water supply, might be able to use this moss. It could be placed near the water ways around the forges. Allowing for the poison that were not handled by rune formations, magic, or other methods to be handled safely. From there, the entirety of every city would be safer and cleaner.

"Before we worry about collecting the poison eating moss, we can worry about the sloth moving our way. It was also looking at that moss." The party had seen a sloth monster before. There were many kinds. Some of them were smaller and others were larger and mire dangerous. But right now, Gil had finally noticed the slow moving monster heading toward the equally slow rolling slime.

'Poison soaked sloth

This monster is slow and always encountering predators. However, due to the slow moving metabolism it possesses and extremely tough fur due to its high earth affinity, it does not get poisoned in the same ways as other living beings.

It will be able to slow the movement of its body and organs until it can find the poison eating moss to consume or to place on its body. Therefore, it will cure its own poisons in this way. Until it does this it has been known to use the poison it is soaked in to deter every single predator within the poison jungle dungeon. Even the devil centipedes know not to tempt fate by consuming this mixed bag of unknown poisons.

It is easily captured if one is brave enough. Collecting its fur can showcase a unique mixture of different poisons in the area that it lives. Its fur can also be used to improve the strength of some earth related forging along with used to create a unique items for poison mages and poison assassins. A poison brewer can also utilize this item to be able to create a class item called the fusing poison cauldron...'

Now this was very interesting. Walker had expected that he would see more dangerous things about poisons. He did not expect that he would see a monster that specifically had fur that could help certain classes make the best item for them. Let alone see that it would also be useful for so many things.

Surprising the others, Walker used wind mana to pull up some of the poison eating moss that was laying around the ground. The slime had rolled a little ways off now, but it had dropped many pieces of the moss. Some was saved by Walker for experimentation and growth. The rest, he held using the wind mana right in front of the sloth.

The sloth was slow, but it looked at him without fear. It knew that if it was touched it had tough defenses and could also poison anything that touched it. But really, it is here for that moss in the first place.

The poison soaked sloth slowly accepted the moss being left in front of it while Walker used wind mana to brush over the fur. In a few moments, he has pulled away plenty of pieces of its fur and the poison soaked sloth actually appeared to be enjoying the random attention. It didn't fear anything really, but it also had never been treated like this. It could get used to it. "We can have rules about these monsters too. They are not violent but they are still dangerous. Many monsters try to eat it and soak it in poisons. But its fur is valuable and if groomed we can take it back to help us and others." Walker showed off the fur. It was not a lot, but for studying, it would be valuable. And it was not harming the monster or the dungeon.

Many of the Genesis forces were watching him in admiration. This was a reason why the heroes were heroes. They did not always go to fight or battle someone or something. They cared for the world as it was. They would be kind and clear with their desires. Right now, was one such time where they believed Genesis was founded for the best reason of the best.

This small interruption in the worry and fighting had been enough to lighten the atmosphere while the healers worked to purify poisons and help everyone. It was also enough time for Alma to take some of the moss and discover that it had the tiniest of seeds rather than having to grow from teeth like roots as normal mosses might. A very interesting species of plant. Besides all this, they were almost ready to move out. They would be leaving the poison jungle dungeon behind for later exploration. They had gotten enough information on potential size and dangers.
