As for what passionate sparks would happen next between humans and dwarves, Jenn didn't care in the least. He wasn't a control freak who had to grasp everything in his hands; as long as humans, dwarves, and Black Onyx City were all gathered together, then the subsequent development of events was as simple and clear-cut as the trajectory of a pearl falling off a table. Of course, even if something unexpected happened, it didn't matter.

  The demon clan firmly believes that any unexpected turn of events will lead to a better outcome.

  And now, Zhan En has found something even more interesting.

  "Is this your new invention?"

  Standing in the workshop, looking at the "soft" thing in front of him, Zhan En raised an eyebrow curiously, then looked at Becks beside him. Sensing Zhan En's gaze, the young dwarf hurriedly nodded vigorously towards Zhan En with a smile.

  "Yes, master. This is my latest invention... the Gelatinous Illusion Clone. It's made from the extract of the Black Fantasy Mushroom found in the Dark Realm, combined with some magical materials. I think it will be very effective in helping you guard the underground castle."

  This is really interesting.

  Looking at the "demon statue" in front of him, Zhan En stretched out his hand to touch his chin. To be honest, he came to the workshop this time just because he received a hint from the system that Bixi had created a brand new prop. As a dwarf craftsman, Bixi is now proficient in both architecture and engineering, but to be honest, Zhan En still appreciates her talent in architecture more. After all, the underground city needs to expand its space for development, and now Zhan En only has this little dwarf who can dig holes without collapsing them. However, since the little guy wants to do something else on his own, Zhan En doesn't mind. Anyway, Bixi can't escape from his palm, so let her be.

  But after seeing Becks' little invention, Zane was still slightly surprised.

  All that could be seen was a soft, green, jelly-like substance lying on the metal table in front of Zhan. It looked about one meter wide and half a person tall, from afar it seemed like a combination of jelly and cotton candy that Zhan had tasted when he was young — no, saying this is actually more suitable for Slime would be better.

  But... can this thing really be called a magical image?

  The demon statue is not something that Zhan has never seen before. There are even vendors selling them in the demon realm, and there are also demon statues guarding the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons. High-level demon statues are actually no different from the super robots that Zhan saw in movies, capable of distinguishing between friend and foe, flying, and releasing a certain degree of magical attacks. They can be said to be the magical version of intelligent robots. Even low-level demon statues have extremely hard bodies and fists, and more importantly, they are immune to magic, making them effective against mages at times.

  But...

  Zhan En carefully examined the so-called "demon" in front of him, what could this lump of cotton candy without hands or feet do?

  "Yes, it is so, master!"

  Perhaps sensing Zhan's suspicious gaze, Beike hurriedly waved her hands and anxiously began to explain to him.

  "Don't look down on Little Green, it may seem weak but it's actually very formidable. Although I'm currently unable to create ordinary magical images due to various reasons, this improved magical image of mine would still be very useful if used to guard the underground city!"

  "Oh?"

  Upon hearing this, Zhan En's interest was piqued. He knew Becks very well. Although this little dwarf was very obedient, she had always been timid and never dared to provoke him into anger, fearing that he would catch her and roast her for food (although Zhan En couldn't bear to do so either). So it was absolutely impossible for her to come and trick him. Now that she was so confident in his invention, there must be something special about it.

  "Let's talk about it."

  "Ah, yes, it is like that."

  When she heard Jen's words, Becks let out a long breath and then hurried to Jen's side, picking up a metal rod and pointing it at the "Slime" in front of her as she explained.

  According to Bikusu, this "slime" utilizes a secretion from a special mushroom called Black Phantom Mushroom that grows in the dark region. The Black Phantom Mushroom is an extremely strange plant in the dark region, and it's only called a mushroom because of its appearance. However, its predation method is more similar to that of pitcher plants. They grow layered on top of each other on the walls of caves in the dark region, and from the outside, they look just like black cave walls with nothing special about them. But if prey accidentally leans against the stone wall, it will be swallowed by the Black Phantom Mushroom as if it had fallen into a soft sponge. At the same time that it catches its prey, the Black Phantom Mushroom secretes a gel-like substance that wraps around the prey like a spider's web and slowly digests it, hiding under its black exterior, then absorbing the nutrients from the prey until they become nothing but a pile of dry bones.

  While Vick's manufacturing "Slime" main raw material is this secretion. It has soft, sticky and not easily broken characteristics. Moreover, this secretion also has the common characteristics of all living things in the dark region, that is, strong anti-magic properties, ordinary magic spells have no effect on it.

  However, on the other hand, this secretion not only tightly wraps others inside, but also rapidly corrodes the hard outer shell of prey, whether it's a skin armor or a helmet armor, even if it's an equipment with magic attached to it, it's very difficult to escape from this corrosion.

  If it's a Black Phantom Mushroom, then after corroding the opponent's shell, it will start absorbing the prey's flesh and blood as nutrients. However, this Slime is simply condensed from the secretions of the Black Phantom Mushroom and does not have any will, so it won't have that ability.

  After listening to Bikusu's explanation, Zhen also understood the effect of this slime. In short, putting this thing in the maze can effectively block intruders and disarm them, thus achieving a victory without fighting - after all, this slime is more flexible than rubber, and ordinary weapons cannot cause harm to it, even magic is rarely effective. Moreover, this slime can grow stronger with the number of things it swallows, it seems that this is quite a good thing. And this gel can solidify the body but won't suffocate people, making it perfect for capturing enemies alive.

  "So, how can we command it?"

  "This..."

  By this time, Becks finally revealed a few points of depression.

  "This... it cannot be commanded."

  "Huh?"

  According to Bikusu's explanation, although she named this thing a "magic image", all magic images, whether high or low level, have a "core" which is also the most important part of the magic image. However, with Bikusu's current skill level, she can't create a core yet, so in other words, this slime is essentially just an attack without any self-awareness, it's actually no different from a trap tool. It will trigger when touched and launch when sensed. Apart from that, it won't take the initiative to attack, nor will it distinguish between friend and foe - just like a kitchen knife can't tell who its master is.

  "It doesn't matter."

  Upon hearing this, Zhan En didn't think much of it. This kind of slime could be used as a trap too. And without a magic core, that means there's no weakness, so getting rid of it wouldn't be easy either. Thinking of this, Zhan En suddenly thought of something and an eerie smile floated onto his face.

  "But anyway, Becks... any invention has to go through rigorous scientific proof and practice, right?"

  "Huh?"

  When Keats heard Zhen's words, she was stunned and looked at Zhen with puzzled eyes, seemingly not understanding what he was saying. However, Zhen didn't need to explain anything - facts speak louder than words.

  "So you called me here for this broken thing?"

  Standing in the corner of the training ground, Verna stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Zane with a look of dissatisfaction. In front of her, that soft and fluffy Slime was still bouncing around, looking like jelly and making people want to take a bite.

  "Give it a try, this is Becks' masterpiece, but it's no worse than yours."

  "Hmm!"

  Upon hearing Zane's words, Verna let out a cold snort and glared at Pixie, who was standing shakily beside Zane. As a dark elf, Verna naturally had the pride of a dark elf, and now that she heard Zane say that she wasn't even as good as this dwarf-made thing, it didn't sit well with her. She immediately walked in front of Slime and stared at the monster, then suddenly drew out her slender sword and slashed diagonally at Slime.

  As Vernia had expected, her sword was enough to split the monster in front of her into two. But what she didn't expect was that just as her fine sword touched the monster, it suddenly encountered a huge resistance, so much so that Vernia's sword hadn't even advanced very far before stopping.

  "Hmph...!!!!"

  Upon witnessing this scene, Vern also changed color. The dark elves were not a powerful race to begin with, and their swordsmanship emphasized speed over strength. At this moment, seeing the longsword being sucked in, Vern immediately stretched out her hand, trying to pull the longsword out.

  However, the dark elf had no idea that this move would stir up a hornet's nest.

  The originally motionless slime, at the moment Vernna drew her sword, suddenly stood up and grew taller, like a wave crashing on the high seas, and then fell heavily. Vernna hadn't even reacted to what was happening before she was pounced on by this slime, instantly engulfed within it.

  "Wait, wait, what the heck is this!! Let me go!!"

  Verna had never thought that such a strange creature existed, and she struggled to get out of the slime's slippery body. But unexpectedly, her struggles only made her sink deeper. The dark elf's efforts to struggle free not only failed to extricate her from her predicament, but instead caused the slime to wrap around her even tighter, until only her head was left outside.

  "What are you two looking at? Hurry up……Hmph……Hmph!!"

  Verna's words were not yet finished, when she was completely swallowed into Slime's body. At this moment, the dark elf widened her eyes and struggled desperately, but to no avail. On the contrary, her clothes began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  Verna's leather armor was not the usual attire of a mercenary, but even so it did not withstand the slime's invasion. Within minutes, her clothes were tattered and torn, revealing her long, slender legs, soft and delicate abdomen, and body that exuded a dark elf beauty. Verna had also become strange, she no longer struggled. Instead, she twisted her body, her beautiful face like black jade flushed with a clear red glow, and even Jain could sense that Verna's body would convulse every now and then.

  "Ugh... Ah... Hurry up and let me out... Hah ah... Don't come in... How detestable, this ghost thing... No way..."

  This scene is really familiar...

  "Bixi, what else did you put in this thing?"

  "Ah, right, Master. To prevent them from escaping, I added the pollen of the Blood Devil Vine to Xiao Lu's body..."

  “………………”

  If I'm not mistaken, that thing seems to have aphrodisiac effects...

  "Alright, I've seen its actual effect with my own eyes, it's really good."

  He withdrew his gaze from the dark elf who had lost himself in a daze, and Zane gave a satisfied clap.

  "Bixie, I want three boxes of this slime!"

  "No problem, master, as long as you give me enough time, I think I can make a sufficient number of little greens."

  "That's good... Ah, right, how are we going to get people out of this thing?"

  "I haven't thought of this...this...I still haven't figured it out..."
