Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

In the Slime Kingdom, a plaza was surrounded, packed tightly with various types of Slimes, and the onlooking Slimes cast envious gazes towards the Slimes that were selected.

Yang Yu followed the Slime King’s suggestion to let the Slimes voluntarily enlist.

Before conscription, Yang Yu explained to all the Slimes the difficulty of the operation, the treatment for participants, and the rewards afterward.

Participation in this operation required the resolve of facing death, but this didn’t deter the Slimes from enthusiastically signing up, even the nobles among the Slimes came to join in.

Participating in this operation meant they could enjoy the Clovers that took half a lifetime to earn and get a chance to see the outside world, why not?

There were so many Slimes signing up that Yang Yu couldn’t use them all, so he conducted a selection to ensure that the weaker Slimes wouldn’t become cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Yang Yu’s way of screening was, naturally, to have a fight with them.

Slimes that focused on defense and were slow in action were of course no match for Yang Yu, who could take on ten at a time.

The Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce needed quite some time to get here, so while idling away, Yang Yu turned the Slime Kingdom into his experience pool.

Yang Yu set the rules, coaxing and tricking, regardless of whether the Slimes could beat him or withstand enough time under his hands, as long as they respectfully said, ”I admit defeat” when they lost, Yang Yu would reward them with three delicious Clovers.

Relying on the inexhaustible Clovers, Yang Yu’s experience bar, which required a long time to fill, once again rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the Slimes selection was completed, Yang Yu’s level surpassed the 170-level mark, and his attributes significantly increased in all areas.

Evaluation: If you still count as a human, you should now be the fourth strongest human in the world.

Only a step away from standing at the pinnacle of humanity.

But that’s only the pinnacle of humanity, the world is vast, don’t be arrogant.]

Unknowingly, has he surpassed the fourth strongest human to become the fourth strongest?

Yang Yu didn’t know what the system’s standard was for judging strength.

If just from the data panel, excluding technical factors...

No, those in high positions wouldn’t have poor skills.

Those who can rank should be the humans who once topped the Dragon God Conference.

He also wondered how much Heroic Warrior Volcrix had grown since then.

If the system indeed ranked solely based on personal attributes, once the hero reached Yang Yu’s level, the attributes would absolutely crush everyone else.

Unfortunately, unless that hero had some fortuitous encounters, catching up would be a bit difficult.

Yang Yu could only hope that Volcrix could play some role after the Demon King’s descent.

That way, the burden on his shoulders could be lighter.

As time passed second by second, the teleportation array placed in the center of the plaza by Bai Jin emitted a faint glow.

Through the surveillance magic Bai Jin set up in advance, Yang Yu saw the arrival of Carlo Joy and the others.

Lang Yi and the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce’s transporters cooperated to send the barrels brought over through the teleportation array in batches into the Slime Kingdom.

The plaza where Yang Yu and the others were located was right beneath Carlo Joy’s feet.

Since the two teleportation arrays weren’t very far apart, Bai Jin could control both arrays simultaneously by herself.

If Bai Jin wanted to, she could make objects bounce back and forth between the two arrays until the magic power was exhausted.

Once the barrels were delivered, Yang Yu busily directed the selected Slimes to get into the barrels and hide well, then handed them over to Bai Jin to send them back to the surface.

Lang Yi and the others helped President Carlo Joy load the barrels containing Slimes onto the carriages.

After checking for no omissions, Yang Yu smiled and bid farewell to the Slime King:

”Then, Your Majesty, see you later.”

The Slime King reminded Yang Yu once again:

”Remember what I said.

Never disclose matters of the Slime Kingdom, ensure the safety of our Slime Kingdom citizens.

Helot, He Meng, be careful outside.”

”No problem, Father. With him around, I believe everything will go smoothly.” Helot looked at Yang Yu beside him, full of confidence.

He Meng crossed his arms, extremely nonchalant: ”You’re too worried. The outside world isn’t as dangerous as imagined.”

”That’s because you’re a Royal Slime, a species with only a king can’t survive. Remember what I said, absolutely no recklessness.”

The Slime King reminded He Meng once again, and it was also a reminder to Yang Yu to definitely look after his children because if any problem occurred, he would hold Yang Yu accountable.

To prevent his father from nagging again, He Meng repeatedly agreed and then transformed back into a Slime, perching on Bai Jin’s shoulder.

Yang Yu also assured the Slime King that he would do his utmost to protect the safety of the Slimes and that not a single Slime would be left behind.

Handing over a large bag of Clover seeds to the Slime King, Yang Yu took the remaining people into Bai Jin’s teleportation array.

Bai Jin inserted the magic wand into the center of the teleportation array, and white spots of light emerged from beneath everyone’s feet, gradually enveloping Yang Yu and the others.

”Whoosh——” With a sound, the scenery before Yang Yu suddenly changed, but it did not immediately transform from the dark underground cave to a bright forest.

In the midst of the white, Yang Yu seemed to see something dancing.

The teleportation magic completed the transfer in just a moment, and Carlo Joy, president of the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, appeared before Yang Yu.

Without bothering to think about the dancing white, Yang Yu greeted Carlo Joy:

”Long time no see, President Carlo.”

”Long time no see. I’ve collected everything you requested.”

After a simple chat, Carlo Joy asked Yang Yu to check the materials they delivered.

After the materials were collected, President Carlo Joy worked tirelessly to mix these herbs in a certain proportion, creating the base material for making an antidote.

Yang Yu was very satisfied with all that President Carlo Joy had done, and boarded the Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce’s carriage with his companions, heading to the harbor preparing to set sail.
