Everywhere you look, the talk is all about the Slime Grand Treasure.
"Just think about it, the Slime Grand Treasure must really exist. Slimes have been appearing around villages for years, surely they've hoarded some treasures. Yet, adventurers never seemed to find any loot after defeating them because it's in the form of a Grand Treasure."
"Look, here comes the 'True Women's Adventurer Group' who once defeated seventy-one Demon Kings."
"So, what exactly is this Slime Grand Treasure?"
"Rumor has it that it's a miraculous, side-effect-free elixir that keeps men forever vigorous and women forever youthful."
"Isn't that the Dragon Race? I didn't expect them here. The Slime Grand Treasure is surely gaining in value!"
The people were all buzzing with excitement, even the banner at the adventurers guild's entrance was hoisted with, "Want the Slime Grand Treasure? — Then form an adventurer group!"
"Why is everyone so obsessed with this kind of thing! Why are the Dragons joining the fun, are they just idle, bored lizards?"
Shami frowned, swiftly leaving Eden City and returning to the Demon Realm.
Because of a single well-meaning lie from the past, the entire continent's pace in defeating the Demon King has doubled.
Though everyone is after the Slime Grand Treasure, if they happen to find a Demon King, they might as well take care of that too, right?
After a short tension, Shami regained his composure.
Though now, he wasn't just any pushover.
Every grievance has its debtor.
If adventurer groups want to find the Slime Grand Treasure, then let the slimes crush them and plunder their treasures!
[Slime Special Training Plan, commence!]
Shami arrived at the Slime Tribe.
The Slime Tribe within the Demon Realm had reached a certain scale, with numbers over a thousand, occupying a small piece of grassland and a forest.
At the same time, there were now eight types of slimes—Poisonous Slime, Frost Slime, Fertility Slime, Shuriken Slime, Technique Slime... and under Jelly's cultivation, all sorts of bizarre slimes emerged.
Jelly warmly welcomed Shami, turning its belly towards him.
"Let's save this for next time."
Shami patted Jelly's belly but didn't sit on it.
"Jelly, recently thousands of adventurer groups might want to eliminate you, perhaps even do horrifying acts of gutting you guys. The Slime Tribe is in a vital survival scenario! And the reason is, in the end, your fault, jeez~"
"?"
Jelly looked perplexed.
"Regardless, to prevent your slime compatriots spread across the continent from suffering, let's start the special training soon."
Currently, there are more than a hundred slime nests distributed outside the Demon Realm, mainly around the Fess Kingdom.
If adventurers are serious, Shami worries about scenes where several adventurer groups would gang up on a single slime nest.
Those slimes who are living well outside, disrupting human villages occasionally, would never imagine they'd one day be besieged by multiple adventurer groups!
Therefore, it's crucial to enhance the survival capabilities of external slimes.

Shami started developing strategies.
"The slimes are only opponents to low-level adventurer groups. Once they encounter high-level groups or multiple low-level groups, their only path is death."
"So, the primary essence of slime survival is: Run Strategy!
If facing a powerful adventurer group, learn to run, preserve your life, and you'll find opportunities later. As long as you run into an environment where the group doesn't want to pursue, you can evade capture!"
Shami instantly clarified the attributes that slimes need to enhance.
The primary essence: the wanderer survivalist attribute that can survive in any conditions!
Shami and Jelly teleported to the Fess Kingdom.
Here, the slimes are most easily discovered by adventurer teams, so their running ability needs a boost first.
Shami rapidly located a slime nest which already housed hundreds of slimes.
The leading slime stared blankly at Shami, only reacting after a while, dropping tiny pearls as it rushed over.
"The development here is too swift, it's almost catching up with Jelly's side, Jelly ought to scold you."
Shami exclaimed in astonishment, patting the slime in front of him and recalling that it was his first slime released outside. [See Chapter 65]
"Alright, alright, don't cry anymore, surviving till now has earned Demon King's approval."
Shami pushed away the slime in front of him.
"But, the upcoming situation will only be more severe, your nest will be the first target in the Demon King's slime special training plan. Are you confident?"
"Slime!"
"Very spirited!"
Shami led this batch of slimes to a week-long enhancement training for survival abilities.
Throughout, Shami constantly used magic power to heal and forge these slimes, allowing them to fully enhance themselves without any burden during the special training.
Under Shami's assistance, a day's improvement in slime training equaled the enhancement one would gain from normal survival in a hundred days.
—
A week later, when the Teleportation Gate reopened, Shami and the mud-covered slimes returned to the Fess Kingdom, marking the end of the special training.
This batch of slimes had already completed the "Survival Skills Course in Various Environments."
"However, practice leads to true knowledge; how much you've truly grasped will be shown in reality."
Shami's personal training was certainly sound, but how well the slimes absorbed it was unknown.
Meanwhile, the slime nest was in crisis!
Throughout this week, adventurer groups increasingly roamed throughout the Fess Kingdom, and one group was rapidly approaching the slime nest.
Shami hurried to the scene, observing this adventurer group from a distance.
The adventurer group consisted of five people, all women.
Shami squinted, feeling a sense of recognition toward the familiar faces of the five women.
Weren't these members of the 'True Women's Adventurer Group' he encountered in Eden City then?
This was an established adventurer group, once defeating the last Demon King, with undeniable strength.
"Recently, villagers reported to the adventurer guild that there's a slime nest here. Though not expecting to find the Slime Grand Treasure all at once, perhaps we'll get some map fragments? That's how it works in games."
Truly a seasoned adventurer group, their experience is evidently different.
Shami scrutinized the five women, noting they were all clad in warrior gear, their profession appearing to be warriors.
This constituted an exceedingly irrational lineup.
A proper adventurer group needs at least a warrior, a mage, an assassin, ideally a black member serving as the first casualty.
Five warriors, especially five female warriors, what kind of lineup is this?
However, considering the adventurer group's name, Shami suddenly felt it was all comprehensible.
Are they aiming to highlight the powerful feminine charm of true women adventurers through their group member gender?
An adventurer group with a truly unique approach!
Inside a forest, the adventurer group halted, warily scanning the surroundings.
Shami hid in the trees, concealing his presence.
Unaware of Shami's aura, the five women briefly exchanged glances, nodded, then picked trees around, facing the trunks straight on.
Not long after, there was a rustling sound from the tree trunks.
The five women shivered all over.
"Ah, how soothing~"
"Make sure we weren't discovered; it'd be terrible if we were."
From the five, Shami observed something not belonging to women.
"So the group name wasn't about the current state but the aspirational goal?! This is a bizarre adventurer group made up of five husky cross-dressing guys, huh!"
Shami wanted to smack his forehead.
With their experience, the True Women's Adventurer Group had located the slime nest.
All the slimes hopped out one by one from the nest.
The five experienced cross-dressing warriors quickly reacted, forming a semicircle to surround all the slimes.
"Perfect, let me see our slime training results!"
Shami watched the scene from afar, refraining from intervening immediately.
Faced with the powerful True Women's Adventurer Group, the slimes tried to resist but soon realized they were no match.
Since that's the case, it was time to run!
