Slime is a kind of monster that will inevitably appear in fantasy works. It appears in countless novels and games.
But contrary to its high popularity, slime's strength as a monster is surprisingly low, and it usually exists as a stepping stone that players or protagonists will encounter just after leaving the novice village.
Except for some works where slime is the protagonist.
At this moment, the two young braves who had just arrived in another world encountered the first difficulty in their adventurous careers just like what was described in many novels.
A round, transparent slime that looks like a ball and has two big eyes.
…
In fact, there are existences similar to slimes in the world of Terra, namely Source Stone Worms. You can see these little things everywhere that kill one by one.
Although both are chubby in appearance, slimes are much cuter than Originium worms.
After all, it has no hard corners, no green or yellow slime, and no lumpy hard shell.
Slime is not so much a monster as it is a cute thing. This appearance makes the two beautiful brave men feel no danger at all.
Xing Yihuang calmed down his momentum and frowned slightly as he looked at the slime slowly jumping towards him on the path not far away.
She didn't detect any danger from this little thing, but her years of wilderness survival experience still made her question the threat posed by this slime.
Because there are many inconspicuous but deadly things in the forest, such as poisonous snakes hiding in piles of dead leaves, and plain-colored but highly poisonous mushrooms.
Xing Yihuang had suffered such a loss before and almost died in the snowfield.
If a creature can survive in nature without being extinct, it must have its own specialties. This cute little thing in front of you might be just like Green Tea Bichi...
She looks pure and cute on the outside, but is as poisonous as a snake or scorpion on the inside.
Everything around is so normal, the land, grass, trees, birds, sky, sun...
Just like in the world of Terra, although it was unfamiliar, it was also familiar, making Xing Yihuang feel no danger.
But when a creature he had never seen before appeared in front of the girl, Xing Yihuang was still a little nervous even though he had extremely rich hunting experience.
She is not afraid of monsters, she is afraid of the unknown.
This is humanity's oldest and deepest fear.
…
After recognizing that the little thing in front of him was the slime monster in fantasy novels, Raphael put away his gun and relaxed.
She even wanted to go over and touch the little thing.
After all, putting aside the status of "monster", slime itself is quite cute.
Maybe they can be kept as pets.
But Xing Yihuang's reaction caught Raphael's attention and surprised her.
The Dragon Clan girl who had always had a cold face felt like she was facing a formidable enemy at this moment. Although her aura had calmed down, her expression was still serious, as if she was facing some formidable enemy.
Her body was slightly bent, and her tail was raised behind her. Her whole body was on alert, like a taut bowstring.
This gave Raphael a very strange sense of déjà vu.
At this moment, Xing Yihuang is like...
Cat who sees a strange toy approaching?
It seemed that as long as the slime came any closer, she would explode, reveal her claws, and jump up with a "oow".
Poof.
When imagining that scene, Raphael couldn't help but chuckle.
"This thing, uh."
She thought it would be better to explain to Xing Yihuang. It was really weird that this sister reacted as if she had met an elite monster when she saw slime.
To give a more intuitive example, a heavily armed soldier raised the muzzle of his gun at a rabbit and turned on the safety, ready to shoot at any time. He looked at the rabbit as if he were looking at KB elements...
This person is either a drama queen or he really doesn’t know what he is talking about.
"It should be called Slime. It's a very ordinary monster. It doesn't seem to have any attack methods other than impact..."
Recalling the survival guide to another world in his mind, Raphael touched his chin in deep thought:
"Well...it may also secrete liquid that can corrode clothes, but it will not harm the skin."
This was the slime attack method she knew from a certain novel on Valentine's phone.
"It still feels a little troublesome..."
Although the slime was cute, Raphael decided to give up on the plan of flattening it into a round shape.
Give it a bullet instead.
After all, if this slime really secretes liquid that corrodes clothes, it will still cause them a lot of trouble.
The slime was jumping very slowly, but it was only five meters away from Xing Yihuang and the others.
At this length, Raphael could hit it even with his eyes closed.
A huge silver gun appeared in the angel's hand, with complicated and gorgeous golden patterns printed on it. The black muzzle was pointed at the slime in front of him, and the monster seemed to feel the threat of death. It suddenly opened its eyes and suddenly braked and jumped back, its speed also increased a lot compared to before.
In the blink of an eye, he jumped ten meters away.
The speed was so fast that Xing Yihuang's eyes twitched.
This guy……
So timid? !
But it is reasonable, after all, many animals in the world of Terra are also very timid.
Even if it has the power to easily tear apart a hunter, unless humans really anger it, the animals will usually give a few warning roars and then slowly leave.
The unknown threat left, and Xing Yihuang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your reaction was a bit much."
Raphael put away his gun and looked at the girl beside him and slowly shook his head.
"It's always good to be careful."
This sentence is also the creed that Xing Yihuang has always adhered to.
Although he looked a bit stupid just standing there confronting the slime, this was a reaction that minimized the danger.
If you run away, you will give your back to the enemy. If you go around, you may encounter something else in the forest. The best outcome is for the monster to walk away on its own.
"you're right."
Raphael smiled slightly and patted her back.
"Let's go, maybe we can see a village or something if we walk a little further."
"Then you won't know anything like you do now."
Finding Valentine is the girls' ultimate goal, but the most important thing to do now is to understand this world.
"Um."
Xing Yihuang nodded slightly and followed Raphael.
And they had just taken a few steps when Xing Yihuang stopped again.
"I heard footsteps."
While speaking, she moved her gaze forward and looked out.
"About three people."
Raphael followed her line of sight and found that the slime that ran away not long ago was jumping back. He looked very scared, his eyes were wide open and he was jumping happily.
"Don't let it get away!"
A deep male voice reached the girls' ears, and then a black shadow jumped out of the forest and pounced on the running slime.
Plop!
Something heavy hit the ground, making a dull sound. Raphael tilted his head slightly to avoid the dust coming towards his face, and when he moved his gaze over, he discovered that there were three more men not far ahead.
Two of them were carrying large bags, which were bulging and had things squirming inside.
The slime was caught in a net bag by another person. He looked down at the trapped slime with a bright smile.
"Finally I caught you, little one!"
"Are you going to run again? Are you going to run again?"
"Can't run away..."
The man's words were stopped, and his companion patted his shoulder and motioned him to look forward.
What caught the man's eyes were two young women with extremely outstanding looks, their clothes covered in dust.
This made him feel a little strange.
Are there other hunters out in the village?
This clothes doesn’t look like something you would wear while hunting...
Lost traveler?
He was about to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he was swallowed hard.
Because the man saw something above the other person's head.
Halo and dragon horns.
Although his education level is not high, he can still recognize all the races on the Asian continent.
This means...
The two women who appeared before them were legendary beings.
Angels and dragons!
