A slime came out of the pillar

On a dark night where you can't reach your fingers, the dark clouds in the sky block the moonlight. From time to time, there are strange wailing crows in the gloomy forest, which makes people feel chilly. cry.

There was no one around, so quiet that only the sound of my own heart beating faster and faster could be heard.

Suddenly, the grass next to it moved and made a strange noise, and a black shadow quickly passed by——

"Roar--"

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

"Hee hee, you lost again, Chloe."

It was not a monster that suddenly jumped out of the grass, but a beautiful girl with cherry-colored hair, twin ponytails, and revealing clothes.At this moment, she was smiling slyly with her hands on her hips, looking down at the light white jelly-like creature under her feet, without concealing the pride in her eyes.

"Don't scare me like that! Milim! It's going to kill you! It's going to kill you!" The pale white slime she called Chloe bounced angrily on the ground, "Look! I'm almost transparent from your fright!"

"Hahaha, this is a test of courage, how can I not scare people!" Chloe's anger did not affect Milim's interest at all, she only heard her smile without any guilt, turned and continued to run To the depths of the forest: "Okay, I'm going to scare Limulu next!"

As soon as Milim finished speaking, she teleported away and disappeared without a trace. Chloe, who stayed where she was, sighed sadly. Who would have thought that this beautiful girl with twin ponytails who is keen on the test of courage is one of the oldest demon kings Woolen cloth.

"The first loser this year must be me again. What a shame." Moving slowly on the ground, Chloe murmured in frustration, "It's clearly a split body from Lord Rimuru, but such weak……"

His name is Chloe, and he is a slime, a mysterious entity that was accidentally split when Rimuru, the king of the Demon Federation, sneezed.

Because of his enigmatic birth, 'Hana (snot)' was his former name before Rimuru named him.

The appearance is a light white viscous jelly body, and it always makes people think of something bad at first sight——This is Rimuru-sama’s original words, and there is no basis for suspicion.

"Chloe, is the test of courage over yet?"

A gentle voice of inquiry suddenly sounded from above, Chloe raised his head, and a woman with light green long hair wrapped around her body was looking at him not far away.

It is the tree elf Torene, the guardian of this forest and a member of the high-ranking tree people.

"Sister Torene," Chloe, who was comforted by the soft voice of the beautiful elf sister, burst into tears, "I lost again..."

As if she had expected Chloe's hopeless appearance long ago, Torene smiled slightly, bent down and hugged him, touched his head and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, Chloe, one day you will too To be strong, Rimuru's strength is not achieved in a short period of time."

"Really?" Chloe rolled around in Torene's arms, staring at her with round eyes: "But I heard from Master Rimuru that he was reincarnated into the world's first My first friend is the storm dragon Veldora." That is a natural disaster-level dragon species, and it will destroy a town at any time.

"..." Torenika hesitated.

Fortunately, Chloe didn't notice her pause. After all, he is very good at comforting himself: "Although I am not as powerful as Rimuru-sama, the first time I was born, I saw Rimuru-sama who is the awakened demon king. Not too bad."

"That's right," Toreni resumed the goddess-like smile just now, but suddenly frowned, as if she had noticed something. She put Chloe down and looked around with a serious expression. : "The magic element in the forest has become very unstable."

"Sister Torene?" Chloe blinked in confusion, why didn't he feel anything?

"Chloe, go back to the entrance of the forest immediately and join the others." Before leaving, Torene turned her head to remind him, "A strange force has appeared in the forest, I'll go and have a look, you must be careful. "

"Oh, good." Although she didn't understand very well, Chloe nodded obediently. Toreni's figure gradually disappeared, and the light white slime on the ground turned around and began to move quickly towards the road she was walking on. with.

"Hey, I'm sure I'll be laughed at by Gobuta again when I go back." Chloe sighed as she rushed back as fast as she could, not even noticing the dark boundary on the ground like water ripples.

……

"Did I walk so long when I came here?" Finally realizing that he spent more time on the journey than when he came here, Chloe hesitated and slowed down, observing the surrounding environment uncertainly.

"Huh? Is there such a flower in the forest?" Realizing that the flower under the tree was a species she had never seen before, Chloe leaned forward and swallowed the flower in front of her without hesitation.

It's not so much Tun, but as a slime, he has no mouth. To be precise, he dissolved the flower in front of him into his body.

As a split individual of Rimuru, he also has part of Rimuru's skills, among which the most proficient ones are "Great Sage" and "Predator". According to Rimuru-sama, he only had these skills back then With two abilities, the natural disaster-level storm dragon was swallowed into its stomach.

But because he is a new individual split off, his stomach is not infinitely large. Although it has not been completely filled, it is estimated that he cannot swallow a dragon, but a mere flower is still not a problem.

After Chloe put the flower into her stomach, she immediately used the "Predator" skill to analyze it.

[Weidanhua is a common type of flower that can grow on its own. The petals are white and unopened. When the roots come into contact with blood and absorb blood, the petals will turn red and open. The initial detection of the magic element component is zero. 】

"A flower without magic essence? How could it appear here?" It stands to reason that even the weeds that can be seen everywhere on the roadside around the Federation of Demon Kingdoms should have a slight amount of magic essence.

【answer.Because you are no longer in the territory of the Demon Kingdom Federation. 】

Just when Chloe was puzzled, the "Great Sage" answered his question.

"What?!" Chloe's eyes widened upon hearing this answer, "Then where am I now?"

【answer.Because of the limited information currently known, it is impossible to determine the location, but it can be determined that it is in a temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest area. 】

The tone of the "Great Sage" was as indifferent and calm as ever, but Chloe couldn't calm down.

"What's going on here? He was still in the forest of the Demon Federation just now. Could it be that someone used teleportation magic?" He frowned his non-existent eyebrows and tried his best to speculate.

【answer.There is no residual magic energy around, so the speculation is not valid. 】

"What the hell is going on..." The guess was immediately denied by the "Great Sage" without emotion, and Chloe began to roll helplessly on the ground.

Rolling, rolling, rolling... can't stop? !

【answer.The current terrain is in the downhill stage, and the continuous rolling action causes the center of gravity to shift. If you want to stop the movement, you need to roll forward another 50 meters until the road surface is stable. 】

Why didn't you say this earlier? ?

Now Chloe is no longer in the mood to listen to the "Great Sage"'s answer. The speed of the roll is gradually accelerating, and the trees around him are passing by quickly. Chloe is trying to stop, but he has no hands and feet. That kind of thing simply can't be done on your own.

There should be a flat road ahead... Thinking so, Chloe closed her eyes tightly, praying that she could stop as soon as possible.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a strong sense of weightlessness, and his body was suspended in the air.

Sadly, there is no road ahead at all.

"Cliff?!" Looking straight at the bottomless abyss, Chloe, who fell quickly, wanted to cry without tears.

What to do? What to do? What to do……

【answer.Do you want to use the skill "Spider Silk"? YES／NO】

It must be YES! ! !

A long spider thread was thrown into the sky, and successfully wrapped around a big tree beside the cliff.

And Chloe, hanging from the end of the spider's silk, bounced three times in the air like a bungee jumper.

"Huh..." Chloe, who was very thankful that she had accidentally swallowed a spider, let out a sigh of relief, and tried her best to move along the spider's thread. Now she just needs to climb up slowly.

Having said that, there are so many stars in the night sky here.

The Federation of Demon Kingdom is a kingdom that is developing extremely fast. Because of the large flow of people, it is brightly lit even at night, and it is rare to see so many stars.

……Ok?what is that?

On the way up the rope, Chloe noticed a row of tall walls on the opposite side of the cliff.

Is it another kingdom?

Chloe looked around along the wall, and found that there was just a bridge leading to the other side from the edge of the cliff.

Go in and have a look, you can ask the people inside what kind of place this is.

Thinking of this, Chloe quickly climbed back to the ground along the line, and walked along the bridge unimpeded to the opposite wall.

"It's such a big gate, the people living in it can't be giants." At the end of the bridge is a huge iron gate, and Chloe tried her best to raise her head to see the top.

The iron door was designed very firmly, but with the advantage that slime can change its shape at will, Chloe slipped through the gap of the door without any effort.

Behind the door was a deep tunnel with small lamps lit on the wall. Before Chloe had time to see the surrounding environment clearly, she heard a mournful cry not far away.

"Don't... Mom... help me..."

The helpless and sad cry for help echoed in the empty tunnel, and Chloe recognized that it was the voice of a little girl.

what happened?This wouldn't be the scary trick of Milim and Gobuta's new research, would it?Why does it feel so scary...

Chloe was still frozen in place, only hearing the girl's cries for help getting smaller and smaller, he had no time to think about it, and hurriedly moved towards the source of the sound.

If this is really a prank, then he must ask Rimuru-sama to teach the others a lesson, which is too much.

……is that a lie.

When Chloe saw the two huge unknown creatures in front of him, all kinds of brain activities stopped abruptly.

The terrifyingly long and narrow face that resembles a cracked mask, the irregularly growing eyes, and the super long nails that seem to have not been cut for hundreds of years.

Creatures never seen before...

Chloe felt that if there was liquid in his body, he would definitely be sweating at this moment, but in fact, his situation is not much better now. When he saw those two terrifying creatures, he almost went limp. It became a puddle of water and was frightened.

If found out, he will die.

【answer.Do you want to use the skill "Mimicry"? YES／NO】

Her mind went blank, and Chloe, who didn't know what to do at all, heard the proposal of the "Great Sage", and reflexively chose YES.

Then, he felt that his body was slowly changing, turning into the flower he swallowed just now.

"Okay, just finish the ceremony." Only one of the two monsters said. Although Chloe couldn't see anything from his current perspective, he could feel something slowly approaching him.

Go, come here ah ah ah——

"Hey, you bastard, why did you just throw flowers on the ground?" Chloe felt that she was being lifted up, and then something sniffed at herself: "Why is there something wrong with the smell of this flower?"

"Don't worry about it so much, finish the ceremony quickly, this is an important commodity, and it must be kept fresh." Another impatiently urged.

commodity?Fresh?Are they doing any food deals?

Before Chloe could understand what they said, she felt that she had come into contact with a warm body, and the white petals were dyed bright red, blooming quickly.

Only then did Chloe understand what they were saying.

It was a human being, a little girl who looked to be only five or six years old with golden twin tails.

Unlike Rimuru-sama who reincarnated with memory, he only had memory after birth, but from the beginning of his birth, he showed rationality and thinking ability that ordinary monsters did not have. Rimuru-sama guessed that maybe he was also a human being before reincarnation, It's just that the memory before reincarnation is lost.

For this reason, he has always had a fondness for humans, and always displays special kindness when meeting them.

Do these monsters... actually feed on humans?

【Great Sage, can this child be saved? 】

【answer.The signs of life have been lost, and the possibility of rescue is zero. 】

Damn it, if he hadn't been afraid and hesitated just now, he might have been able to save this girl...

Seeing the girl who died in front of her who was obviously struggling with extreme fear, and feeling her body gradually getting colder, Chloe couldn't help feeling remorseful.

"It feels delicious. Human meat is the best." Just as he was still regretting his hesitation, the monster next to him stretched out his horribly long nails and pierced through the little girl's body. At the back of the clothes, he picked her up like a grasshopper, and put Chloe into a container filled with formalin.

At this moment, Chloe noticed that there was a human standing beside the two monsters, a black-haired woman in a nanny uniform.

"The recent goods are relatively ordinary, but you will be able to harvest high-quality goods soon. The three with full marks can be well built into a state that can be shipped, Isabella." I saw one of the monsters looking at the hand. Something similar to the list in the middle, turned to the black-haired woman and said.

"I understand." The woman called Isabella responded blankly.

What?And cooperative humans?What is going on in this country?

Just when Chloe was thinking about going back and telling Master Rimuru to negotiate with the country's leaders to stop this criminal transaction after leaving later, the little girl's cry suddenly came from his ear .

【Save me...I don't want to be eaten...I still want to see my brother and sister again...】

Eh?How is this going?Why can he still hear this girl's voice?No, it's not so much a sound, it's more like some kind of telepathy.

【answer.It is preliminarily speculated that Wei Dianhua, who is in mimicry, can detect the remaining mental power in the opponent's body. 】

Amidst the girl's low sobs, Chloe felt that the container containing them had been placed in a dark space, which should be the rear compartment of the car he saw just now.

Is there any way to defeat the two monsters I just saw...

Since the birth of Chloe, the only creatures devoured by the "predator" are spider bats with a low level of magic essence, and they often feel sick for a long time. Obviously, creatures like spider bats and their skills cannot be killed That kind of giant monster.

Maybe with a sword?

Chloe remembered that there were still some weapons in his stomach pouch. When he swallowed them, he thought that one day they might come in handy.

【answer.Judging from the opponent's body shape and appearance, its body structure cannot be judged temporarily. It is preliminarily judged that its physical toughness is higher than that of normal creatures. The success rate of killing the opponent with a sword is only 13.67%. 】

So... swallow them?

Although his stomach pouch is not as big as Rimuru-sama, it should be no problem for a monster of that size to swallow two, as long as he may vomit afterwards.

【answer.When using predation to suck the opponent into the body, if the opponent still maintains a clear consciousness, the success rate will be greatly reduced, and the success rate of using the predation skill is only 9.43%. 】

The success rate is even lower than using a sword...

Chloe sighed with a non-existent mouth, so what should I do now, can I just watch such a cute little girl become the dish of those monsters?

【answer.It can use its predation ability to store its body in the stomach bag for storage, and then take it out after leaving the current space. 】

It seems that this is the only way.

The "Great Sage" has contributed a lot to Chloe's survival to this day, and generally there is no harm in following its advice.

I saw him transform from a flower back into a slime, touched the girl in front of him, and activated the "Predator".

In the blink of an eye, the body of the girl with golden twintails disappeared from the container.

In order to leave the container, Chloe activated her predation skill again, swallowing the surrounding liquid and container into her stomach pouch.

Probably because all the things being transported were dead, the rear compartment didn't have a door, but was simply wrapped with a layer of open cloth. Chloe jumped out of the car with ease and returned to the road.

There was no one in that dark tunnel. There was a door next to it, and there was a glimmer of light inside, but Chloe didn't go in. The most urgent task now was to find a place to bury the little girl in her stomach.

Thinking of this, he moved out of the tunnel bit by bit. The other end of the tunnel led to a meadow, and there was a forest not far away.

Just bury the little girl under the tree.

Chloe moved towards the forest, and noticed that her speed seemed to be getting slower and slower, and a sense of exhaustion slowly swept through her body.

【warn.When the amount of mana in the body falls below a certain value, it will enter a dormant mode, and it is expected to recover after 26 hours. 】

Oops, I used too many skills in one day, and accidentally ran out of magic essence.

Slime is a combination of cells and does not need to sleep. Entering hibernation mode is like standby. It still retains consciousness, but its body cannot move.

I have to find a place to hide before going to sleep...

Chloe noticed that there happened to be a tree hole under the big tree on the side, so she quickly rolled over and rolled into it.

Well, now just be patient and wait for hibernation to pass.

Chloe, who was hiding in the tree hole, didn't know that after today passed, his future would undergo a huge change.
