Evolution of Slime to Peak

"Where can I find gold?"

"...How would I know?"

"You are forest spirit, aren't you?"

"I am forest spirit, not gold mine spirit."

"..."

An awkward atmosphere floated. Ren sighed and crawled. They reached the village silently. In the way, they didn't converse and like strangers, they behaved.

After reaching the village, Ren was greeted by the villagers. Ren just nodded. Nezumi rushed at Ren when she saw him.

"Lord, are you ok? Did the humans hurt you?"

Seeing the worried expression on her face, Ren sighed and jumped on top of her head.

"Nah. If they had hurt me, they would be staying in my stomach now."

"Thank god..."

She smiled like a little girl. Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her behaviour, but since she is sincere, he would let her be.

"By the way, do you know if I could find any gold mine here?"

"Gold? Like those yellow shiny things?"

Ren nearly burst out in laughter when he heard her describing gold as yellow shiny things. Holding back his laughter, Ren said yes.

"I have seen those in a cave near the village. Well, I just caught a glimpse since the entrance is so small and I can't pass through."

"Oh, then tell me the direction."

After getting directions, Ren didn't waste a second before launching into the jungle.

"WHEeeeeee!"

Screaming like a child, he slid into the forest enjoying. He reached the gold mine that the Nezumi mentioned.

"So this is the place."

A cave came into his view. The entrance of the cave just looked 1 foot long and 1 foot wide. While it may be small for others, Ren just entered inside it easily.

As he entered the cave through a small entrance, a big cavern came into his view. Sharp stones erecting from the ceiling downward and a small puddle of water passed by his gaze.

The dark and eerie atmosphere looks similar to what a haunted house feels like. Creatures hung on the ceiling and looked like bats in a sense.

But they were at least 10 times bigger than that normal bats. Not only that, their sharp claws and blood-red made them look dangerous.

As Ren walked, his eyes fell on the yellow things, they were sparkling like a little bit of sunlight hit them. Much gold ore lay on the ground and in the walls.

As the bats saw Ren, they all charged at him. Ren may look like a worthless slime but for bats, he was an intruder and need to be killed.

Chii!! Chii!!

The bats squeaked. Ren looked at them. While their size may be huge, Ren raised his body and opened his mouth wide.

The bats stopped in their tracks feeling danger, but one bat accidentally hit Ren and entered his mouth.

And it melted.

It literally melted down and Ren closed his mouth.

The bat died. Other bats dumbfounded felt their body shaking. Shivering they decided not to offend this person.

But it was late, too late.

Fireball rain on. Bats burning down fell on the puddle of water to extinguish it. As they fell, they saw the smug face of the slime before getting gobbled up.

Surviving bats ran as fast as they could, but they messed with the wrong person. May it be fireball or his swift skill, the bats didn't survive and entered Ren's stomach.

After eating the bats, Ren showed a satisfied expression. He looked at the gold and then turned his face at the cave entrance.

"Energy Ball"

[Energy Ball: Create a ball of energy. Explode on impact.]

A lip of blue ball floated around Ren. With his command, the ball fired at the entrance exploding on touching it.

While the single ball couldn't cause that much damage to the wall. Ren used a clone and multiple slimes appeared.

They all fired an energy ball at the entrance repeatedly.

As the balls touched the wall, an ear-deafening explosion took place.

With multiple energy balls exploding, a huge hole was formed. The small mouth of the cave expanded.

Seeing, Ren felt proud and carried the gold using small store skills inside his body.

Sliding, he returned back to his village. Without giving a shit to others he entered his room.

"Now how should I give it its form."

RN looked at the lump of gold. He took out gold coins that he found in the corpse of the bandits he ate.

Of course, he didn't eat everything and saved things like gold coins, so it may be useful in the future.

He scanned his room and found a lump of metal lying over.

He picked up the metal and placed it on the floor. He put the on top of it and pressed it.

He pressed the coin to the metal using the weight manipulation skill he had. Putting more than 1 ton of strength, the coin lay shape formed on the metal.

Thankfully, the coin didn't have any drawing or it pud have been hard to replicate it.

After that, he used a fireball and made It float in the air using his mana.

He placed the gold below the fire and melted it. The melting gold turned liquid and del on the circled-shaped carter in the metal.

After filling the hole, Ren stopped melting a waited for the coin to get solid.

He wanted it to be fast but he didn't have any skill to make the progress faster.

He just sighed and waited for the gold to solidify.

It took some time as a whole day for the gold to b solid and be of use.

Ren jumped in joy when he saw that.
