"Alright, let me see how you perform next."
Shami returned to the Maple Forest Clearing, found a spot to sit down, and started using the [Briefing] to check on the situation of Lureya and Lina.
[The briefing from Demon Envoy Lureya has arrived.]
Shami clicked to view.
[Lureya, Jelly, and 10 Poisonous Slimes found the caravan in the woods but did not take immediate action. Instead, they concealed themselves on both sides of the path that the caravan must pass through.]
[Once the caravan entered the ambush site, the slimes charged from front and back, instantly forming a surround around the caravan.]
"It’s a pincer attack! Does Lureya really have such wisdom?"
[Although it’s just a merchant caravan transporting tree gum, relying on the backing of the guild, it has specially assigned bodyguards accompanying it. Four boxers stepped out of the wagons, revealing their muscular physiques. Facing the slimes, they showed no intention of retreat.]
["Are they live punching bags? They’re simply the best opponents for boxing training and reflex speed." The boxers put on their boxing gloves.]
"One look reveals they’re slimes! They actually want to challenge the Poisonous Slimes? They’re already at a numerical disadvantage."
Shami observed the battle situation and determined there was no reason to panic.
"Speaking of the flat golden retriever, due to Jelly’s large size, it didn’t want to be discovered and mistaken as the Slime Leader, which would increase wild hunting parties. So it stays put, making an appearance only at critical moments. But where’s the flat golden retriever person? Did they hide again?"
[The boxers confronted the Poisonous Slimes head-on. The slimes sprayed allergenic venom, hitting the boxers. The boxers fell into a predicament.]
["Itchy, it’s actually a liquid that causes itching? But they’re underestimating the boxers’ determination." "To maintain muscle, I haven’t drunk soda for half a year!" The boxers endured the itching and continued fighting.]
"They actually have more determination than that green-haired swordsman?! Fitness enthusiasts’ discipline beats the swordsman’s sword heart!"
But after all, strength and level are evident here.
[The Poisonous Slimes repelled the boxers. The remaining caravan members picked up weapons in an attempt to resist. But facing the dark green Poisonous Slimes, they already harbored thoughts of retreat.]
[The caravan leader stepped forward. "For tree gum, fight to the death!" The Poisonous Slimes surrounded the entire caravan.]
"It’s just tree gum, you idiots! Handle it casually and run away! Why act like you’re protecting something significant?"
[At this moment, an elf figure appeared in the sky. The elf maiden with a masked face but with pointed ears and golden hair instantly attracted everyone’s attention.]
["It’s an elf!" "Please, Elf Lord, save us!"]
["It’s slimes? Since you’re unfortunate enough to be seen by me, a passing elf, humans, quickly escape far away. Don’t be caught in my attacks."]
[The caravan members all ran away. They quickly left the battlefield. Once they were sure they couldn’t see the situation here, the descending elf signaled the Poisonous Slimes and took all the tree gum from the wagons, then fabricated a scene of a fierce battle.]
"Acting as a righteous character, effortlessly taking everything away. As expected of you, Lureya. You always manage to surprise me."
[When the caravan members returned, they found the wagons completely destroyed. "I’ve driven away the slimes. No need to thank me, I’m just a passing elf, helping is just a casual act." "But the wagons..." "Eaten by those Poisonous Slimes. Do you dare to blame the elf who lent a hand? The human race’s quality is truly deplorable."]
[The caravan leader hastily apologized to the elf maiden. "Thank you, Elf Lord, for driving away the slimes. Compared to tree gum, life is indeed more important."]
"That’s not what you said earlier!"
[The elf maiden received the apologies from everyone, as well as 30 gold coins as a reward.]
"She even got extra gold coins?! I have no idea how to evaluate this scam!"
[The briefing from Demon Envoy Lureya ended.]
[MVP of this mission: Lureya]
[Mission rewards: 30 barrels of tree gum]
[Experience points for participating slimes +50.]
[Demon Envoy Lureya’s spiritual power has significantly increased, gaining 30 gold coins.]
[The reputation of the Elf Race appears in villages around Eden City: Do you know about the golden-haired elf maiden? She once helped a caravan escape from a group of slimes.]
Lureya walked on the way back with the slimes and the tree gum.
Shami felt assured about this situation and looked to the other side.
[The briefing from Fallen Hero Lina has arrived.]
Shami clicked to view.
[After disguising at the village entrance, the Fallen Hero Lina led the slimes to invade the village. Although it’s their first invasion, they encountered no resistance.]
[The slimes trampled the fields and beat up the village bully kids. Lina also joined the field trampling group, harvesting ripe corn, tomatoes, peppers, and other crops into the Storage Ring.]
["Being trampled by slimes feels like a waste. If we bring them back, we have food sorted for the next month. We don’t have to spend money again on food." The white-haired girl collected the fruits and veggies while quietly showing a gentle expression of a virtuous wife. "Wonderful, Shami at home will have something to eat."]
