A slime came out of the pillar

Chloe finds that she and the crow don't get along well.

"Chloe! Stupid! Idiot!"

Chloe, who thought so, watched his crow hovering above his head and cursed, dropped a few words fiercely, and flew away without looking back.

Today is the second day after he left the headquarters of the Ghost Killing Squad. He has been trekking for a day and a night, and he is finally approaching the high mountain mentioned by the village head of Forging Knife Village.

The sunshine here is really abundant, and Chloe can feel that the surface temperature here is much higher than that of ordinary ground.With the scorching sun on his head, Chloe felt as if he was moving in a big steamer, his whole body was dry and thirsty, and his pace couldn't help but slow down.

It seems that the environment full of humidity like Sagiri Mountain is more suitable for him.

"Mingzi." Chloe, who was suffering from the sun exposure, looked up at the crow leading the way ahead, and said weakly, "Please do me a favor."

"Gah?"

Akiko flew onto his shoulder in confusion, while Chloe turned her head and said a few words to it.

A few minutes later, there happened to be a mother and son walking along the street, and the child who was led by the mother suddenly raised his finger to the sky in amazement: "Mom, look quickly, a crow is flying while grabbing a piece of dough!"

Feeling the breeze in the air, Chloe naturally didn't know that someone mistook him for dough. Now that he was getting closer and closer to the finish line without any effort, he couldn't help expressing his heartfelt emotion: "It's so good that I didn't eat Mingzi back then." gone."

Then he felt the claws holding him loose, and the whole person fell in a straight line at 90 degrees at high speed.

Then there is the opening scene.

Chloe, who was thrown back to the ground, bounced a few times on the ground, rolled around because of her own elasticity, and finally rolled into the river with a plop.

Through the rippling river, Chloe saw Akiko flying farther and farther, gradually disappearing from sight, and then realized that it might not fly with her again, sighed regretfully, and spit out a string of words in the river. bubbles.

The water in the river was very cold, and it was quite comfortable to just stay like this. He could wait until sunset before going up the mountain.

"In the courtyard of Zhengcheng Temple~

The moon is out~

come together~

All friends come out~

bump bump~"

The sun was sinking, and as the night fell, a nursery rhyme echoed faintly on the river. The ethereal voice was like a ghost who had died unjustly. up.

Chloe looked at the scimitar-like moon hanging in the sky, hummed the nursery rhyme that Sato had taught him on Sagiri Mountain before, turned around and slowly moved towards the shore.

"I thought it was a water ghost, but I didn't expect it to be just a singing stone."

Ok?

Chloe's singing paused, and he raised his head to look at the person standing in front of him blocking the way. It was a man wearing a bamboo hat. The lowered hat made it difficult to see his appearance clearly, but Chloe Yi could tell from the long knife hanging on his waist that he should also be a swordsman.

I'm not a stone, I'm a slime.

Although I really want to say this, it is estimated that the other party does not know what a slime is. Although I am already tired of explaining, Chloe does not want the other party to see himself as a stone, and he uses a daunting description: "I It's not a rock! I'm a monster in the water!"

Chloe thought that the swordsman in front of him would be so frightened that he would immediately turn around and run away after hearing what he said, but what he didn't expect was that when the person in front of him heard his words, instead of being afraid, he laughed out loud: "Really, I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've met a monster."

It seems that this person is quite curious, Chloe shook her head helplessly, "Uncle, I don't have time to chat with you now, I have to hurry."

"Where are you going?" The person in front of him seemed very interested in him.

"Here, it's there." Chloe motioned him to look up at the high mountain not far away, "I'm going to look for something up there."

"...there is the closest place to the sun."

"Yeah, I'm going up to find materials for forging knives."

"Oh?" The other party made a puzzled voice, "You look like a rock, and you still use a knife?"

"You look down on people too much." Chloe heard the contempt in his words and was a little angry. "Those materials have other uses for me, not just for forging knives."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and headed towards the mountain, ignoring the people standing behind him, and intuitively told Chloe that this person was a bit weird, and he didn't like that superior tone very much.

He quickly squirmed forward on the ground, only to hear footsteps coming from behind, he looked back, and found that the man in the bamboo hat was silently following behind him.

"I didn't follow you, I just wanted to go up the mountain." When Chloe noticed him, he explained calmly.

Well, this road is public property, anyone can walk it, and he has nothing to do with it if he wants to walk it.

Chloe ignored him, and just continued to move towards his goal. He didn't deliberately transform into a human form, because in fact, traveling in the form of a slime would be faster than when he transformed into a human form.

The people behind followed him unhurriedly, and the moon slowly climbed over their heads. Fortunately, it was late at night and there were no other pedestrians on the road. Otherwise, if they saw Chloe, the area would be destroyed the next day. There are rumors of monsters walking at night.

"Hey."

"Ok?"

"Keep singing what you just sang."

"Huh?" Chloe glanced at him sideways, and said in an unhappy tone, "I'll sing if you ask me to, I'm not a song juggler."

It seemed that Chloe didn't expect that Chloe would refuse so bluntly. The other party seemed to be choked, and couldn't help being silent for a while.

After a while, I heard him speak again: "Then how about I tell you a story? Change your song."

This uncle is definitely too boring.

"Okay, tell me."

Anyway, you can hurry while listening to the story, Chloe agreed without thinking too much.

The beginning of the story is corny, set in a long, long time ago.

As soon as the man's calm and unwavering voice came out, Chloe was sure that this story must be boring.

At that time, there was no sun, and there was no distinction between day and night. Every household could only work in the dark.

In fact, they can also invent the electric light-Chloe interjected, and was scolded by the man, telling him to shut up.

Well, Chloe Nunu pursed her mouth and listened to the story quietly.

One day later, the moon appeared, although the light it emitted was very weak, but for people who had never seen the light, that kind of light was like a gift from God, and people cherished the moon very much.

The moon also knows that people attach importance to it, so it works hard every day to find its own method, hoping that it can shine brighter.

One day, the moon found a dark stone. The stone was dull and stupid, and was despised by people, but the moon felt that the stone was very pitiful, so he stretched out his hand to him.

When the light of the moon caught the stone, the moon discovered that the stone actually exudes a unique light, which is very warm.

People also found this kind of warmth, and they gathered around Shitou one after another, thinking that he was the incarnation of God descending to the world, and no longer cherished the moon.

The stone became more and more dazzling, so dazzling that it illuminated the world and brought daylight.

People are very eager for this dazzling light, hoping that this light can also be born on themselves, so they began to compete for the stone, hoping to monopolize the warmth of the stone.

Finally, the stone left quietly, and he fled to the far sky, out of reach of people, and became the sun.

People tried their best but couldn't touch the sun, and soon gave up and went back to their own business.

But the moon, which is forgotten by people, still refuses to give up. He keeps following the sun, hoping that one day he will be as dazzling as his eyes.

The moon has been chasing like this, getting closer to the sun every day, but the light emitted by the sun is too hot, and the moon can no longer get closer.

The man fell silent when he said this, and he didn't say anything after a long time. After hesitating for a long time, Chloe finally couldn't hold back anymore, and asked tentatively, "...is the story over?"

"Well, it's over."

"That's it? Such a sloppy ending?"

Chloe disliked the stories told by men, but after thinking about it, it might be a story he made up by observing the celestial bodies, so she didn't have any malicious intentions to break his fantasy, and didn't tell him that the moon actually revolves around the earth, not sun.

"This story has no ending." The man answered him seriously, and finally murmured softly: "Maybe there is, or maybe there is no end."

"Okay." Chloe didn't expect this to be a philosophical story. He thought of what he had just promised the other party, so he had to sing the nursery rhyme he sang just now again.

He purposely sang every line out of key, and the man didn't say anything after listening, and asked him a strange question: "Can you repair the flute?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Chloe replied deliberately imitating the tone he spoke just now.

The man realized that he was mocking himself, and made a breathy sound from his nasal cavity, and didn't say anything more.

The two of them didn't speak for the rest of the way. After an unknown amount of time, Chloe felt the man stop.

"It's almost dawn."

Chloe only heard a muffled sound from under the bamboo hat, and she went in without knowing it: "Huh? Are you tired?"

He walked all night, which is nothing to a slime, but to a human, he would still feel tired.

"No." The man turned his head and gave him a meaningful look: "I'm leaving."

He raised the bamboo hat slightly, and Chloe saw the other person's appearance through that little gap. After seeing the face under the shadow, he suddenly understood where the strange feeling he had when he met the man came from. up.

The other party is an evil spirit with six eyes.

"Hey! Stop!"

He has no weapons in his hands now, and no wisteria flowers in his stomach, but if he can wait until the sun rises...

Unexpectedly, the other party only took two steps back, and then the figure disappeared directly in place.

Disappeared……?

Chloe calmed down and observed the surroundings carefully, not letting go of any sign of trouble, and finally had to confirm that the man had indeed disappeared without leaving any trace.

【answer.The initial judgment may be some kind of teleportation ability. 】

Listening to the inference of the "Great Sage", Chloe remembered that the lord told him that ghosts can use vampirism, and that should be it just now.

Tsk, careless.

Chloe never thought that she would encounter a ghost here. The sunshine time here is much longer than other areas, and ghosts with normal brains will not come close.

The ghost just now said that he wanted to go up the mountain too, he was definitely lying to him.

Probably wanted to eat him while he was not paying attention, but accidentally dragged it until dawn.

Chloe went up the mountain angrily, he didn't dare to relax, he had to find the material for forging the knife as soon as possible, if the ghost was still squatting somewhere to ambush him at night, he had to have a weapon to resist.

According to the village head of Forging Knife Village, the ore of Forging Knife is located on the top of the mountain closest to the sun. Chloe felt the temperature around him getting higher and higher as he went up, but he didn't stop.

There was no vegetation on the top of the mountain, only bare rocks. Chloe walked under the direct sunlight, and suddenly felt that the hot feeling was relieved a lot.

[Obtain the new skill "Nullition of thermal effect", which can automatically nullify the thermal effects brought by light, fire, electricity and other substances. 】

Um?When did he become so powerful?

Although I don't understand why I suddenly acquired a skill again, but after I couldn't feel the heat above my head, my body cooled down quickly, and Chloe's actions became much faster.

Looking at the stones and gravel all over the ground, Chloe was a little confused. With so many stones, which one is the raw material for forging knives?

Chloe didn't think for a long time, and chose her usual problem-solving method.

In the next second, a white slime was happily running around on the top of the mountain, and the ground wherever it went was clean without any stones left.

[Gorilla Crimson Sand Iron and Gorilla Crimson Ore are ore iron materials that absorb abundant sunlight, and contain a large amount of ultraviolet radioactive elements. 】

After simply and rudely sweeping across the entire mountaintop, successfully obtaining the ore raw materials and analyzing them all, Chloe thought that people from Forging Knife Village might come here to collect ore in the future, and silently copied countless identical ore , covering the entire hilltop.

After finishing everything, Chloe stood on the rock on the top of the mountain, looked at her masterpiece, and silently raised her hand to wipe the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead.

He went back to the foot of the mountain, found a hidden position, and lay in ambush until dark.

But the ghost didn't appear again, and Chloe only saw a small black spot appearing in the sky, and then getting closer and closer, a crow flew in front of him.

Um?Did Akiko suddenly forgive him magnanimously?

It turns out that Chloe was thinking too much.

Because Mingzi didn't even give him another look, but opened his voice and howled: "Southeast—southeast—nearby there are team members who are in a hard fight with evil spirits—go and support—"
