Chapter 857: Slimy Skills And Reaching Tieba City
The streams of white slime were very strong and their pressure broke apart the trees further way from him. Not just that, the slime simply didn’t stop there and continued onwards till it reached nearly two hundred meters away.
~SLICK~
The white slime struck to everything that it had touched and started to pull it together.
~CLACK~
~CRACK~
Various sounds were heard as trees, rocks and all things that were in the path of the slime were pulled together and clumped together.
“Ooo, so I can adjust the springiness like this.” Lin Wu said in interest.
The white slime he had shot out was different than the greenish white slime of before which was the default form of the slime. Lin Wu had adjusted it and it had changed it color to become white entirely.
“Let’s try the other style then.” Lin Wu sad as he shot out slime once more.
~SPLOOSH~
But this time the slime didn’t come out in a long stream like before. Instead, it shout out in the form of green globules that expanded rapidly in the air and spread around like net. The slime was completely green in color this time too instead of a mix of green and white.
“So the more green it is, the more it will expand and the more white it is the more springy it will become.” Lin Wu noted.
The green and white were actually the two different components of the slime that it was composed of. With the new innate sub skill of Slime Generation, Lin Wu had not issues in controlling it.
Lin Wu continued to test out more methods of using it and discovered that he could secret slime from any part of his body. Not just that, but he could even create a slimy membrane armor that would cause anyone that attacked him to stick to it. But at the same time Lin Wu himself would be safe from it as his carapace would have the opposite kind of membrane that would not let anything stick to it.
‘Let’s call this… slime armor, yeah.’ Lin Wu decided on the name.
He had made slime armor by combining Slime Generation and Membrane Generation and it was a decent skill to keep. Lin Wu didn’t even need much time to activate it and it was almost instantly. All this would serve him really well in a battle and make things easier for him.
Done with testing his new skill, Lin Wu continued on his journey. A few more days passed during which he consumed more beasts, but didn’t really gain another innate sub skill. Though he might have gained some improvement in the already existing skills.
Lin Wu also used all his different sub skills to get acquainted with him. Sometimes he would attack using tentacles, sometimes with long claws and other times with long spikes that would shoot out from the ground.
He tested out each and every method that he possibly could during that time and realized that there were far too many permutations and combinations that he could come up with.
‘Guess I’ll let the system run the simulations for this.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
The system had created many skills before and many of them were rather good in use for battle. The ones Lin Wu came up with were also useful but they weren’t as optimized as the ones made by the system. Thankfully the system could also run simulations on the skills Lin Wu made and improve them further.
About two weeks later, Lin Wu finally reached his intended destination.
~Whistle~
“They weren’t lying when they said the city was almost the same size as a small kingdom.” Lin Wu said as he observed the massive city.
He was currently high up in the sky and was camouflaging by simply covering his body with a layer of white fur. If anyone observed from the ground, they wouldn’t be able to differentiate him from the clouds in the sky. Additionally Lin Wu’s spirit qi fluctuation and aura was also restrained so that not even Dao Treading realm experts would be able to sense him.
The city below him was the infamous and lawless city named Tieba city.
It was the only independent city-state in the entire Long Continent and was run by several independent powers that controlled different part’s of the city. Collectively they formed a city council that was composed of nearly fifty members.
The city itself was divided into multiple parts and districts, with some of them prosperous and the others not. The differences were big enough for Lin Wu to observe it from the sky.
The slums and abandoned areas were easy to spot, with their shoddy and failing buildings as well as the dirt and trash that was spread all around. These areas were surrounded by tall walls that were nearly ten meters tall, hiding almost every building in the slum and preventing them from peeking out.
Then there were the mediocre areas that were the largest in size and most in number. Around 50% of Tieba city was composed of areas like these and they were filled with all kinds of shops and people. These shops sold everything from the best weapons, and cultivation resources to slaves and beasts.
Anything you want could be bought in Tieba city. After all, nothing was ‘illegal’ here.
One could even kill freely in the city… as long as they could bear the consequences of course. If one killed someone, they had to be prepared to be killed as well.
Tieba city had no official guards and each power had their own guard that protected their interests. Nothing more could be expected from a city like this after all.
This was seen in the rich areas the best. These areas looked no different than the noble districts of some capital city and had normal law infrastructure in it.
“Guess this is what they call a potpourri of people…” Lin Wu muttered to himself while waiting for the system to finish its scan.
