Chapter 531: Sli Eggs
"[So even the sli eggs are used like that. I am impressed by how one can just use so things like that and change it to sothing new. I only know that those sli eggs are used for certain foods eaten by humans, but I didn’t know it could be an effective ingredient for lting mythril!]" the Goddess of Taming exclaid with amazent after learning the new knowledge related to the Sli Eggs.
"[Of course, you wouldn’t. This should be part of the specialty of the [God of Inventions] since anything under our managent, he always has sothing to use for and turn them into sothing that would beco part of the world’s human inventions. You only manage the taming process and the other stuff related to taming, animals, and monster ranching so how could you know the expansive use of Sli Eggs?]" The God of Farming clearly seems smirking behind those words. Of course, Elaina can’t see that since she is only seeing it on a floating window dialogue box.
"[Ugh, sotis, you can be a jerk, you know that? But I won’t deny that. His work is truly marvelous indeed. Now the slis are not just there to produce sli eggs for consumption. There is more to it than that.]"
The gods continue to discuss the matter while Elaina is only reading their banter while riding the elevator. Now that the sli eggs are needed, Elaina is returning to the farm and asks Yona about the sli eggs and if she still has a lot of them. She does not need all of it, but she needed a lot of it, so having more is better and considering that the threat of the Maw of Stones is still lingering and potentially destructive, Elaina wanted to end this problem as soon as possible. If only the monster hadn’t eaten Mythril, then perhaps dealing with it with her sword would still be possible, but now? Out of the question. Her sword would break first before she could even deal a scratch against it.
DING!
Once the elevator doors opened, Elaina felt a small shake underground. According to the miners in the past, it is a sign that the Maw of Stones has started moving again. It is a worrying sign since that would also an it is also starting its feeding frenzy once more.
"Ti to get this matter handled as soon as possible."
She quickly left the mines. She will have to destroy that monster once and for all, before it can cause bigger damage than it should have.

Upon Elaina’s arrival, she was welcod by Yona, struggling to catch a few slis jumping around the farm. She even saw the children, including the Fey siblings, helping catch the runaway slis as well.
"Why not use magic, Yona? It seems you have trouble handling the slis," Elaina suggested as she caught one sli that leaped directly into her arms.
Yona smiled as she received the sli Elaina caught. "I can’t do that. Considering that slis are very vulnerable to magic, one wrong move with magic spells could potentially kill them in the process. I don’t want to kill them accidentally, considering they are not hostile slis in the first place. I do appreciate the suggestion, though."
"Is that why they are highly resistant to physical attacks and can only be killed if their core is destroyed using swords and weapons?" Elaina asked, curious, considering she can also easily deal with slis using her sword just fine.
"They are indeed highly resistant to physical attacks, but that doesn’t an they are immune to them. Still, thanks to that resistance they have to physical attacks, it seems that they traded their resistance to it, which leaves them so vulnerable to magic spells that one single touch of a magic spell can potentially burst the sli’s core without problems."
Elaina glance around. She have seen the pets of Yona before, and they were indeed nurous...but not THAT nurous compared to what she was seeing now.
"Did the slis increase in numbers?" Elaina asked, a bit worried.
"Yes and unfortunately, it is my fault. I have been so focused on my research on the bees and their honey that I completely forgot the sli hutch and did not visit it for a few days. Since slis quickly reproduce, it is only a matter of ti before the slis increase in number. I neglected it a bit after I told you that they produced more sli eggs than I can handle, and here I am, handling the aftermath. If not for the kids helping out, I would still be chasing with them all until now."
"Say, Yona. Are there still lots of sli eggs you currently have available at the mont?" Elaina inquired.
"Ah, thanks for asking. I do have them. In fact, A LOT of them."
She opens the sli hutch door, and Elaina’s eyes go wide as she sees the overflowing sli hutch with sli eggs. It was so full that the majority of the eggs seed to have reached the sli hutch ceiling despite the size of the sli hutch.
"Is this the reason why the slis have been jumping around the farm just now? Because most of them are pushed out by the sli eggs?"
"Yeah. In just a few days of neglect, this was what happened when I turned my eyes away. I am entirely to bla here on this problem," Yona is remorseful about the situation.
However, Elaina smiled, seeing the number of sli eggs ready for disposal. She was expecting only a dozen or so at first, but seeing the numbers, there is no need for Elaina to hold back on it. The sli eggs might be a lot, but that is exactly what is Elaina currently wants to get.
"Yona, if you have no use of these sli eggs, would you allow
to do the honors of dispatching them and using them for my own?"
Yona’s face lit up when she heard that. "A-are you sure? This is a lot of sli eggs, you know?"
"As a matter of fact, I do need a lot of them, Miss Yona. So, yes, I will need a lot of them for my own use. Do you mind if I get to have them?"
"Oh yes. You can have them. In fact, take them all. I don’t mind what you will use them for, as long as this clutter is removed."
Elaina sighed in relief. Now, the sli eggs are secured. That also ans it is ti to move to the next part of the plan for the removal of the Maw of Stones.
