"I think that he is tailing them back to the Geo-Sect, but that means that they still have Leafa. If they make it back there before we can stop them, then we will have a very large problem on our hands," Gamble explained.

"All we have to do is beat them there and kill the Geo-Sect, right?" I asked, but Serria spoke up in the speaker.

"No, if the Geo-Sect makes it to the goblins, then there will be no way to stop the Tellarider. It was restricted by the SugaBees because they are not a strong race, and it thought that it was waiting for something like this to happen so it could get through. I think that us helping the SugaBees to get rid of the Rock Trolls was good for it, but it didn't see Will coming," Serria explained as she floated beside me.

We were less than a mile from the targeted chamber now, but we will have some distance to go. So far, the path had been without resistance, but I was still checking my scanners.

"So you think that the Tellarider was just going to wait until the Goblins pushed over to the SugaBees, and then take them from there? That seems like a prolonged way of doing things, and not really like how the Predators keep pushing," I commented, but Gamble explained Serria's reasoning.

"I talked with Ryan, and the Tellarider and the Predators only use the other when it suits one of them. They are not a team, but they will work together if it is beneficial. Trent wants to see the world burn; the Tellarider just wasn't to control everything and feed. In this sense, the Tellarider is more like the Lichtar than the Predators are," Gamble explained, but I had to pull my attention away from him; there was something strange showing up on the scanners from up ahead.

The tunnel was starting to get smaller, or the space was getting smaller. There was something or things up ahead that were constricting the tunnel.

"Sig, do you have a visual on what is blocking off the tunnel?" I asked, but Sig wasn't sure.

"Hard to say, but it looks like some kind of clear green glowing ooze. I am not getting any vitals from it, but it is moving," Sig explained to me, but I was pretty sure that I knew what this or these were; Slimes.

"Be careful. I think that those might be slimes, and they are alive, but just not like us. From what I can remember from playing games, they are a type of elemental creature, so they will only have energy signs. Switch your scanner over, and you should be able to see them emit energy," I explained, and now I could see that there were five of them all pulsing on the walls in my mini-map after modifying the settings.

"Yeah, I can see them, but how do we deal with them? I have never even seen a creature like this before," Sig said as we caught up with him.

"Burn them with fire!" Tag said from behind as he came up from behind Serria and me.

"Using random attacks won't work on these things. From what I know, there are two ways to beat them. One, destroy its core if it has one, or use the element that is opposite to it. If we don't, then there is a good chance that they will split, and then we will have more to deal with," I explained, and Tag sighed.

"How do we know what to do then?" Tag asked, and I floated forward, reaching my hand out until my scanner activated.

"WAIT! No one is killing these! Sig, just how much room do you have inside of you?" I called out to Sig and Tag that were both creeping towards the Life Ooze.

I was not going to let all of this go to waste, and I had just found a new animal to ranch. If I could raise these slimes somehow, then we would be able to sell and use the Healing Ooze.

"But it says fire! And I am a dragon, so I do fire really good!" Tag complained, but Sig smacked him.

"Use your brain for once! The Queen wanted to keep these to help out the Hive; you know, our friends and family!" Sig scolded him as the two turned back to me, but Tag was rolling his eyes.

"You don't need them all! I could get rid of four of them, and then you would have less to bring back, right?" Tag said, but I shook my head.

"No, we need to bring back as much, and as much as we can. I have no idea how to breed these or if it is even possible, but I think that Gamble and Miasma might be able to look into the threads. I am looking over them, but there is a surprising amount of the Holistic Threads, and I don't have time to figure it out now," I explained, and Tag let out a long sigh.

"Fine, but I want to have the first shot at Pendra! I am still upset from the fight with the Ancient Behemoth, and I really want to be able to let loose!" Tag said, but then another voice spoke.

This was a deep and old-sounding voice that spoke English perfectly, but there was something wrong with the voice.

"Mortals, are you looking for a challenge? What about if we play for a little bit? I have been waiting for a chance to finally be free of this place!" A tall black-armored man said as he emerged from the wall like it didn't exist.

Whatever this thing was, I couldn't pick it up no matter what scanner I used.

"GET OUT OF THERE," Gamble yelled into my headset.
