Slime’s Poison: A special potion refined with the slime’s poison. It can resist every negative status from the slimes, and every attack on slime-type monsters will deal high poison damage. The effect lasts for 30 minutes!

This must be it!

Chen Mo immediately knew the Slime’s Poison was the item that would trigger the Slime King’s mutation as soon as he read the description.

He had overcomplicated the situation before. The Slime King did not mutate because of some hidden criteria. The Players that drank the potion would deal extra damage to the slimes, including the Slime King. Therefore, the Slime King would mutate and become stronger when Players were trying to use the Slime’s Poison against the Slime King!

After all, if the Wolf Valley was not occupied by the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf and prevented the Players from completing the quest from the beggar, the Slime’s Poison was not difficult to obtain. He just needed to spend some money to buy one from the Players that completed the quest. It was not even a problem for the Players to have a bottle of Slime’s Poison each.

His initial analysis was all wrong. The situation was not as complicated as he assumed. It was just the game’s design to prevent Players from killing the Slime King too easily.

However, Chen Mo knew there was nothing wrong with his approach and thought process. Without the information he had gathered from the analysis, he would not be able to learn the answer.

Now that he had discovered the Slime’s Poison, how did the other two Players triggered the Slime King’s mutation?

Did they use the Slime’s Poison within the Slime King’s aggro radius?

Impossible! The two Players only went to the Slime King to die to it. They must have used the Slime’s Poison against the normal slimes and proceeded to look for the Slime King while the Slime’s Poison was still in effect, thus they ended up triggering the Slime King’s mutation!

Having this thought, Chen Mo drank the potion of Slime’s Poison without any hesitation.

A faint dark green glow burst out of his body. The color of Chen Mo’s crossbow changed slightly too.

Chen Mo found a few slimes nearby to test the effect of the Slime’s Poison.

The first slime that Chen Mo stumbled into was a Black Slime with an outstanding defense.

“How strong!”

Chen Mo exclaimed after firing a bolt at the slime’s smooth head.

-2! -10!

His own attack only dealt 2 damage, but following it was another number indicating the damage dealt by the Slime’s Poison!

The Black Slime only had 60 HP. It only took Chen Mo a few attacks to kill the Black Slime!

“Let’s try it on some other slimes!”

The Slime’s Poison was too powerful. If it was just as effective against the slimes of different colors, he no longer had to worry about the monsters in the Slime Valley. They were just as strong as the other monsters.

“It’s dealing significant damage to every other slime too!”

Chen Mo tried the Slime’s Poison on slimes of different colors. Every normal attack would deal 40 to 60 extra poison damage to the slimes of other colors. His damage had suddenly doubled.

Chen Mo’s eyes glittered. If the Slime King had mutated because of the Slime’s Poison, it should be as effective against the Slime King too. Otherwise, there was no reason for it to mutate!

Chen Mo stopped fighting the slimes. He headed toward the Slime King’s location.

The spawn point of the Slime King…

“HAHA, Slime King, here I come!”

“Hurry up and die and give us some nice loots!”

A group of Level 10 Players had come to challenge the Slime King. They were fearless even though they were about to die. They were talking cheerfully still.

The Slime King furiously lunged at the invaders. However, it seemed to have sensed something.

Its huge black eyes flickered angrily. Someone had killed its people and used their flesh to specifically refine something deadly against it again!

Roar!

Following a furious roar, the Slime King began to expand. Its color rapidly shifted too!

“Mutated Slime King! Damn! The Slime King is mutating!”

“Record it, quick! I remember some guy on the forum has earned more than a million overnight with just a recording of the Slime King!”

The Players were stunned. Some were screaming after collecting their thoughts.

However, they were standing too close to the Slime King. The Mutated Slime King did not even give them a chance to record it!

Whoosh!

The Mutated Slime King shuddered. Countless crystalline purple orbs like marbles fell off its body and flew at the Players nearby.

-800!

-800!

-800!

…

Huge damage values floated above the Players’ head, killing them all within an instant!

The Mutated Slime King immediately fixed its eyes on a person in the distance after killing the group of Players!

That adventurer was the reason why it had gone enraged!

“It really has other abilities!”

Chen Mo was shocked when he saw the Mutated Slime King’s attack!

There was only limited information about the Mutated Slime King. Chen Mo had long arrived in the vicinity, but he did not show up right away. He waited for the Players to approach the Slime King before going closer to trigger its mutation.

To his surprise, he actually baited the Mutated Slime King into using a powerful AoE attack!

Chen Mo quickly set a Basic Trap under him before he started running.

“This fatty doesn’t have legs, but it’s still a Boss Monster after all. It’s so quick even though it’s jumping! My current maximum movement speed is 11. If I equip the title “The Corrupted”, it will be 13. This Boss Monster’s movement speed is at least 17, or even 18. If I don’t have a pair of high-quality boots, I still couldn’t outrun it even if I drink the Low-level Mutated Dexterity Potion!”

Chen Mo analyzed the Mutated Slime King’s movement speed while he was running. He discovered how shocking the Mutated Slime King’s movement speed was, as expected of a Boss Monster. He had no chance of outrunning it!

Boom!

The Mutated Slime King stepped on the Basic Trap that Chen Mo set previously. The trap exploded!

-48! -50!

Two numbers floated above the Mutated Slime King. One was the damage dealt by the trap, the other was the effect of Slime’s Poison.

The effect of Slime’s Poison was shocking indeed!

The Mutated Slime King was extremely quick. Chen Mo continued to run. He even equipped the title “The Corrupted” and consumed the remaining two Low-level Mutated Dexterity Potion he had brought along.

The Low-level Mutated Dexterity Potion could increase a Player’s maximum movement speed by 3. After drinking it, Chen Mo’s current maximum movement speed had reached 16, but he was still slightly slower than the Mutated Slime King. It was only a matter of time until the Mutated Slime King caught up to him.

However, Chen Mo was able to set traps while he was moving. After observing the Mutated Slime King’s speed, Chen Mo knew it would have a hard time catching up to him too. He still had a chance to escape the Mutated Slime King’s aggro radius if he was lucky enough.

Chen Mo quickly tossed a Dazing Trap to his back.

Boom!

The Mutated Slime King soon stepped on the Dazing Trap. Its huge body came to a stop!

In addition to it, it was knocked a meter back by the trap!

“Nice!”

Chen Mo was excited after seeing it. The fact that the Dazing Trap was effective against the Mutated Slime King was great news to him!

The Mutated Slime King continued to pursue Chen Mo for a few minutes.

The Mutated Slime King failed to catch up to Chen Mo in the end. It glared at Chen Mo and gave up on the pursuit.

“The distance…it should be enough…”

Chen Mo came to a stop. He did not provoke the Mutated Slime King any further. He lowered his head and calculated the distance that the Mutated Slime King had covered while staying on his trail.

“I just need to buy a pair of high-quality boots to try the method out. It’s actually possible to kill the Mutated Slime King alone!”

Chen Mo reflected on the information he had collected. After some deep thoughts, his eyes flickered with excitement.
