Chapter 59: Water Sli
"From now on, this will be called Goblin River!"
Standing high up, Li ng looked far into the distance. The forest river andered forward, stretching to the edge of his sight.
Li ng, perched on the treetop, put away the wooden board and swiftly slid down the tree.
As soon as he landed, his figure flickered as he ran down the mountain.
Over the next few days, Li ng focused on one task: mapping the areas along both banks of Goblin River.
It was a new day on the southern bank of Goblin River.
Deep within the dim forest, Li ng strolled leisurely, holding a wooden map board and making adjustnts with charcoal.
After several days of following the river upstream, Li ng gained significant insight, morizing the terrain and topography on both sides of Goblin River.
"This sll... Hmm, I've never encountered it before!"
Li ng suddenly stopped in his tracks as he walked slowly through the forest. He raised his head slightly, his nose twitching as he sniffed the peculiar scent in the air.
"Could it be a high-level magical beast?"
He looked towards the depths of the forest, pondering to himself.
The tribe was located at the northern edge of Goblin Forest, making encounters with high-level magical beasts rare.
Even in regions inhabited by the savage tribe, spotting such beasts was difficult, as the tribe would actively drive away or hunt them down.
Although powerful, the lack of intelligence among magical beasts was their greatest weakness, often making even the strongest of them prey for hunters.
"Let’s take a look!"
Curiosity propelled Li ng to head towards the source of the scent.
After walking about three hundred ters, he suddenly saw a sunlit clearing in the forest ahead.
Seeing this, Li ng quickly darted behind a large tree, cautiously peeking out from behind it to observe.
What he saw left him stunned.
Before him lay a forest lake.
The lake wasn’t large, covering only about 2,000 square ters.
Its water was shallow and crystal clear, revealing its bottom.
Within the lake were so round, semi-transparent small creatures.
[Water Sli]
[Level: 1]
[Strength: 1]
[Defense: 1]
[Agility: 1]
[Magic Power: 3314]
[Elental Affinity: LV3]
The peculiar attribute panel left Li ng, still hiding behind the tree, in disbelief.
All its stats were at 1, even its level.
Yet its magic power was astonishingly high at 3314.
Such an extraordinary magic power stat, yet without offensive magical skills?
This was beyond bizarre.
"Unexpectedly, it’s a Water Sli!"
Hiding behind the tree, Li ng's eyes glead with greed as he stared at the Water Slis in the lake.
The skills of the Water Sli were exactly what he needed.
With the "Elental Affinity" skill, the problem of insufficient magic power could be perfectly resolved.
Glancing at the ground, Li ng bent down to pick up a stone roughly the size of half a fist.
Weighing the stone in his hand, he looked towards the lake, searching for a target.
"You’re the one!"
Locking onto the nearest Water Sli, Li ng assud a throwing posture behind the tree.
With a forceful swing of his right arm, the stone flew out.
Pa!
The stone swiftly crossed a distance of over twenty ters, striking a Water Sli.
With a pop, the Water Sli's body burst like a balloon, quickly dissolving into the water.
Witnessing this, Li ng froze.
anwhile, the death of their companion startled the remaining Water Slis.
They all transford into water and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the Water Slis vanish, Li ng, still hiding behind the tree, was dumbfounded.
"How am I supposed to catch them like this?"
Li ng erged from behind the tree, exasperated as he looked at the tranquil lake.
"I don’t believe you won’t co out!"
After a while, Li ng left the lakeside and hid in the forest again.
Ti ticked by, hour after hour.
Three hours later, still at the forest near the lake...
"Why hasn’t anything happened yet?"
Hiding behind the tree, Li ng continued observing the lakeside.
So much ti had passed, yet the lake remained motionless.
"Could it be they won’t co out again?"
Reluctantly, Li ng decided to keep waiting.
Another hour passed...
A whole day passed...
Three days later, at noon, near the forest by the lakeside.
"Damn it, co out already!"
Frustrated, Li ng carried a large stone as he angrily erged from the forest.
With a heavy throw, the boulder splashed into the water.
"Co out! Co out!"
Fuming, Li ng began hurling stones from the lakeside into the water, creating a spectacle of splashes.
The sound of water echoed throughout the area.
"You won’t co out, huh? Let’s see how long you can hide!"
After three days of waiting, Li ng lost his patience.
Quickly, he approached a massive boulder on the lakeside.
Gripping it with both hands, he forcibly pulled it out from the soil.
"I’ll crush you all!"
The several-ton stone was hurled into the lake, landing with a thunderous splash.
A massive column of water shot skyward.
The water’s surface rippled violently, forming small waves that spread outward.
After venting his frustration, Li ng lay on the lakeside, panting heavily.
"You little cuties, you sure know how to waste my ti!"
Cursing under his breath, Li ng crawled to the water’s edge and drank from the lake.
"Bleh, what the hell? No taste at all!"
After a few gulps, he spat out the water in disgust.
[Skill successfully activated: Obtained skill "Elental Affinity"]
The sudden system prompt stunned Li ng.
"Damn, is this even possible?"
Li ng was bewildered, his emotions a mix of surprise and amusent.
He had waited three days in vain, only to gain the "Elental Affinity" skill in such an unexpected manner.
"Could the water in this lake be made of Water Sli body parts?"
The tasteless water was evidently not ordinary.
If it wasn’t water, then what was it?
With a thought, Li ng opened his character panel.
[Na: Gobung]

[Berserk: LV1]

[Elental Affinity: LV1 (Magic Power 1000)]
As expected, his magic power had increased, surging by 1000.
"Could the water in this lake be liquid magic power?"
Realizing the possibility, Li ng quickly returned to the water’s edge and drank several large gulps.
To his disappointnt, the magic power stat didn’t change at all.
"Guess I was overthinking!"
Smiling wryly, Li ng stood up.
