Chapter 069 Slime Siege
Seeing that defending the city was no longer a problem, Li Hanqiang opened his storage space and took out two special monster summoning tokens.
These special monster summoning tokens were useless to keep, so Li Hanqiang used one first and actually summoned a golden-horned slime.
This golden-horned slime has a short golden horn in the center of its forehead, and its skin is also light golden. It is as big as a rhinoceros. Compared with ordinary slimes, it has two short, thick arms, two big and bright eyes, and its mouth below is exaggeratedly split open, as if it is laughing, constantly making a low "ooh ooh" sound.
However, it moves very slowly, swaying and crawling like a snail. It probably can't even move half a meter per second. Even a little black pig can crawl faster than it.
Judging from its appearance, this golden-horned slime is not fierce at all; on the contrary, it looks clumsy, fat, and cute!
However, its attribute values are very high; it is only level 24, but has 9600 health points.
Moreover, after the Golden Horned Slime walks out of the spacetime wormhole, every time a "-30" damage number appears above its head, a "+96" green number will quickly appear as well, meaning that the health it loses is faster than the health it gains.
"This is an elite monster close to boss level; it has automatic healing!"
Li Hanqiang's eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted to the little monk Huixin, "Little monk, quick, turn it to the other side!"
The young monk Huixin sighed and said, "Lord City Lord, my talent for persuasion is actually triggered by probability, and I cannot target a specific person for persuasion. Sometimes I am inevitably powerless, and I can only do my best."
"Then what's the point of chanting scriptures?" Li Hanqiang asked.
The young monk Huixin put his hands together and said, "When I am focused, I can slightly increase the chance of persuading the demon. However, no matter how hard I try, the chance is still very low. Being able to persuade the three-headed tiger of the Flame Demon is a matter of good fortune."
"Chance and luck?" Li Hanqiang shook his head and said, "Little monk, three parts are destined by heaven, and seven parts depend on hard work. You must believe that human will can overcome fate! Watch me create opportunities for you!"
After Li Hanqiang finished speaking, he focused on controlling the defensive towers, but instead of controlling them to focus fire, he controlled the sword towers and the open and hidden arrow towers to prevent them from attacking the Golden Horn Slime, leaving only the basic slow towers to slow it down.
This tower control technique sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult to execute. It requires constantly assigning attack targets to the five sword towers and the nine visible and hidden arrow towers. Li Hanqiang found it mentally taxing and didn't control it well, with some towers always lagging behind.
Fortunately, the Golden Horned Slime automatically heals itself. After being slowed down by the basic slow tower, its speed, which was already less than half a meter per second, became even slower. It was as if it was performing a slow-motion show, taking three seconds to move forward one meter.
"Walking so slowly will take longer to persuade them, which increases the success rate! Little monk, it's up to you now!" Li Hanqiang shouted.
"I will do my best!" the young monk Huixin replied, then closed his eyes and began to chant the sutra earnestly.
Three minutes later, the golden-horned slime was not persuaded, but an ordinary slime was.
The persuaded slime stopped in front of the wise young monk, as devout as a believer.
Li Hanqiang quickly checked its attribute information.

Slime: Normal Monster
Rating: 24
Level cap: 30
Health: 2400
Mana: 0
Physical attack power: 24
Physical defense: 24
Magic Resistance: 24
Possesses the skill [Resilience]: Slimes have a relatively fast health regeneration rate.
Possesses the skill [Slime Acid]: The slime has a small chance to spew out stomach acid, attacking targets within 20 meters. Once the slime's stomach acid hits a target, it will reduce the target's physical defense by 5 points, movement speed by 10%, and deal damage per second (slime level) points for (slime level) seconds.
Note: Slimes are low-level monsters that use melee attacks and move slowly. They may seem weak, but be careful of their stomach acid.

"Not bad, it lives off stomach acid!" Li Hanqiang nodded. The slime's attack and defense attributes are terrible, but the [Slime Stomach Acid] skill is pretty good. If a max-level slime triggers this skill, it can take away 900 points of the target's health. In addition, the negative status lasts for 30 seconds, which is not short.
Li Hanqiang quickly ordered the little slime to "go into battle," and it climbed onto a chaotic stone slab and began attacking its companions.
The slime's attack method is quite interesting; it just rams its head against the wall. The attack speed is extremely slow, about once every three seconds. Li Hanqiang watched for a long time but didn't see it trigger a single stomach acid attack.
After a while, seeing that the Golden Horn Slime was about to escape the range of the defensive tower's fire at a snail's pace, Li Hanqiang sighed.
The young monk Huixin's persuasion had no effect!
Then the only option is to kill this elite slime that's close to boss level.
With a thought, Li Hanqiang unleashed a volley of attacks from the nine towers, one open and one hidden, and the golden-horned slime collapsed, dropping a large treasure chest of gold coins.
Li Hanqiang still had a special monster summoning token in his hand. After a slight hesitation, he used it anyway.
Based on experience, if you continue to use the monster summoning token in this wave, there's an 80% chance that elite slime monsters or bosses will spawn. Since you're moving slowly, the chances of being persuaded should be higher.
As expected, this time a silver-horned slime was summoned.
This silver-horned slime looks exactly like the gold-horned slime, and has the same health points, except that its body and the pointed horn on its forehead have turned silver.
Li Hanqiang resorted to his old trick, still using only a basic slowing tower to slow it down.
Ten minutes later, the silver-horned slime flashed with golden light and suddenly stopped in place.
I was persuaded!
"Hahahaha!" Li Hanqiang laughed heartily, saying, "See that? This is what they call 'Heaven helps those who help themselves'!"
The young monk Huixin was also pleasantly surprised, but he quickly closed his eyes and chanted the sutra even more diligently.
Li Hanqiang floated through the air and arrived in front of the silver-horned slime, where he immediately saw its attribute information.

"Health points recover 1% per second! Stomach acid is no longer a probability-triggered skill, but an active skill!" Li Hanqiang was overjoyed. Although this silver slime could not be compared with the three-headed tiger of the fire demon, it was still quite good!
