There was a number of slimes that were far greater than the ones we encountered back at the sewer.
Since they weren't attacking, I assumed that they are probably resting. It was weird for them to not be attacking us as they should be doing so.
The slimes we encountered before do wait for us to go on further as they are trying to ambush us, but that slimes do hide their presence completely and blend within the environment.
So for the slime here to be doing the opposite of hiding its presence. It makes me suspect that it might be different species altogether.
Or perhaps, it doesn't want to fight and is just waiting patiently for us to pass by. Either way, we cannot stop ourselves anymore as the slimes are blocking our path forward.
The slime doesn't seem to be moving at all as was there to block our way. I do not know why they are trying to do that but clearly, the slimes do not wish us to proceed any further.
