[Name]: Firefly Slime

[attribute]: light

[Food habits]: Plant food
[Introduction]: Slime, born from the stars and fireflies in the dark night, currently only exists in the underground world.The world has lost record of them.Although they live in darkness, their bodies contain rich light energy. There is a fluorescent core in the middle of their bodies, allowing them to grow relatively small fluorescent wings in dark places.They are especially popular as a light in a dark world.

The wings are covered with fluorescent dust, and if you flap them hard, you can drive your fat body to fly.But when the fluorescent dust is exhausted, the wings will dissipate, and the wings cannot be condensed again until the dust is extracted from the core of the body.

As long as a certain amount of their fluorescent dust is stored, they can produce firefly crystals. In addition, the fluorescent dust can make some dark plants grow faster.Therefore, if you plant dark plants near their gathering areas, you may be able to harvest more and have better quality.

[Notes]: Compared with ordinary slimes, their living conditions are too harsh. As long as there is too strong light, the core in their bodies will dissipate, and their abilities will basically dissipate. Only in the dark It took more than half a year of recovery before a new core could be regrouped.

Someone once recorded that they are afraid of something that suddenly appears and emits light, fearing that this thing will suddenly become too bright and cause their core to dissipate.So if you're suddenly bright and dim near them, watch out for them to come to you.

Of course, if you want to have a good relationship with them, bring them something delicious to eat and show them something rarer.They have always lived in the darkness, but they actually yearn for the surface world where slimes from other races live.

In addition, they generally live in mines, and there may be a mine plant growing near the colony - Firefly Sun Mushroom, which is their favorite.

……

"So you can't use your phone's flashlight, it would be too bright for them..."

"But fortunately, they are gentle by nature. As long as you don't approach them suddenly, you should be able to communicate with them normally." Jiang Simiao looked at the illustrated book in his hand, waved his hand, and the illustrated book turned into faint points of light and dispersed.

Seeing the light gradually dissipating in front of his eyes, a small patch of light was reflected in the dark cave. Jiang Simiao was startled, and suddenly realized something. His expression became a little surprised, and he stretched out his hand again, and the illustrated book reappeared. On hand.

He stood up, and the movement was a bit big, causing Xiao Ruan, who was lying quietly on his stomach, to stand up again in confusion.

Xiaoruan:?
"Hmm?"

Xiaoruan watched him walk to the darker side, then waved his hand, and a spot of light spread out, and then a book appeared. Before the spot of light had dissipated, he waved again, and a spot of light spread out again. , and the cycle repeats.

It slipped from the stone and jumped behind Jiang Simiao, only to find that the corners of his mouth were raised at this time, and his eyes reflected the dots of light caused by the disappearance of the illustrated book.

"It seems like we can explore the path like this!" Jiang Simiao dissipated the illustrated book for the last time. At this time, the little bits of light produced by the dissipation had already illuminated this small area a little brightly.

Every time the ranch illustration dissipates, a light spot will be left in the sky for a short period of time.

After dissipating multiple times in a short period of time, those light spots can emit enough light to illuminate a small area, but they will dim again within a minute.

"What an interesting discovery." Jiang Simiao rubbed his chin with his hand and muttered to himself, "But it's a pity that the duration and illumination range are still too small. If the advancement speed is too fast, the speed of light spot generation may I won’t be able to keep up.”

"If you want to use it to illuminate roads, it may not be of great use."

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a gentle twitching in his trouser leg. He turned around and looked down, only to find that Xiao Ruan was sticking to his trouser leg and pulling it back.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Jiang Simiao bent down and picked it up, rubbed its head, trying to calm it down, but found that it was still shivering and kept shrinking behind him, and suddenly felt something bad.He turned around and raised his head. Unexpectedly, the surroundings had lit up. A group of firefly slimes were waving their little wings and looking at Jiang Simiao warily.

"Wait..." Jiang Simuo subconsciously took a step back and leaned against a rock, suddenly remembering the record in the illustrated book.

"The light just now will never appear again, really! I'm very sorry." Jiang Simiao waved his hands quickly, fearing that the light he just created might misunderstand them. When he wanted to continue talking, the group of fireflies However, the slime seemed to smell something all of a sudden, quietly getting closer, and then quickly drifting away.

But when they saw Jiang Simiao, they seemed a little cautious, not daring to get too close. They floated cautiously in the air, waving their little wings gently, and just covered Jiang Simiao's head.

In the darkness, their cores flickered gently, and the light shone on the faces of Jiang Simiao and Xiaoruan. The warm yellow light shined through their lavender bodies, as if a galaxy was reflected from the sky into the ground, in a field of purple. The night sky is dotted with twinkling stars.

"So beautiful..." Jiang Simiao murmured subconsciously as he reflected this "Galaxy" in his eyes.

These little guys do seem to be wary of the sudden light, but it doesn't seem to be repulsive, just self-protection.

Do they gather together and move closer, trying to use their own fireflies to fight against the light and prevent their cores from being melted by the strong light?

"Um..."

Xiaoruan, who was originally shrinking in Jiang Simiao's arms, slowly poked his head out. Seeing that they looked normal, he gradually became bolder and looked at them.

"Yum~"

"Um~"

The firefly slime that was originally floating in the air saw Xiaoruan and Jiang Simiao staying well together, and then slowly relaxed, waving its little wings and fell from the air, looking at Jiang Simiao helplessly. Miao and Xiaoruan.

"Uh..." Jiang Simuo was stunned, and he could probably guess that they might be curious about things in the outside world.

What they like is food and things on the ground.

But I don’t have enough things to bring. What should I give them?

Jiang Simiao frowned, feeling a little regretful. While he was thinking about it, a firefly slime suddenly jumped in front of him. He looked at Jiang Simiao expectantly, and the light on his body gradually became brighter.

Ding!
A purple-yellow crystal rolled down from its body and landed in front of Jiang Simiao.

"So...you actually want my help?"
