A slime came out of the pillar

In the dense jungle, the tall trees rising from the ground blocked the projected sunlight, and the ground was covered with tree roots in a disorderly manner. A white shadow swished past, and a huge black shadow was coming behind him. Follow him quickly through the jungle.

There was the whistling wind in my ears, and the ghost behind me was still chasing after him, and the distance between him and him was getting closer and closer. Chloe felt that her legs were getting heavier and heavier, and her running speed was slowing down bit by bit. down.

So tired, how far is it from the trap?

【answer.There is still a distance of 75 meters. 】

The cold voice of "Great Sage" sounded in his mind, and Chloe, who finally saw a glimmer of hope, clenched his fists, tried to adjust his breathing, and ran forward as fast as he could.

Going around a few thick tree trunks, you can see a huge web made of spider silk, supported by the tree trunks on both sides and hanging at a position very close to the flat ground.

Arrived!

Seeing the spider web not far away, Chloe's eyes lit up, and she quickly changed back to the slime form and rolled forward, successfully slipping through the remaining gap between the spider web and the ground.

There was a howling sound similar to that of a wild animal behind him. Obviously, the ghost that had been chasing him was successfully 'caught'.

"Is it a low-level species again?" Chloe skillfully made a judgment while observing the struggling ghost trapped in the spider web.

He has been active in this forest for almost two weeks. After talking with Emma and the three of them last time, Norman asked him to leave the farm first, explore the forest as much as possible, and then return to the farm regularly to tell them what happened outside the fence. situation.

At the beginning, when he encountered low-level ghosts in the forest, he could only scurry around with his head in his arms. Later, with the help of the "Great Sage", he slowly learned to fight back. Those ghosts are not only agile, but also regenerate very quickly. Only a hit in the eye can completely kill them.

[Do you want to use the "Predator" skill? YES/NO]

Seeing that the ghost in front of him was about to break free from the bound spider web, the "Great Sage" reminded calmly.

Uh...YES.

Looking at the face full of dense eyeballs in front of her, Chloe once again felt unavoidable nausea.

The ghost trapped in the net was absorbed into the stomach in an instant, and the analysis was completed at an extremely fast speed.

[The analysis is completed, and the skills of "Dash", "Infinite Regeneration" and "Sensory Enhancement" have been successfully obtained. 】

Is it these three again... Chloe was a little excited when he succeeded in preying for the first time, but after experiencing it many times, he has completely lost his sense of these three familiar skills.

All the low-level ghosts that wandered in this forest were similar to beasts, like the talking and intelligent ghosts I saw in the tunnel that night, never appeared once.

Before leaving the farm that day, he climbed up the fence, walked around the wall, and saw the original appearance of the entire farm. It looked like a divided hexagonal building, which was composed of five farms. Although the circular building leading to the five farms cannot be seen inside, Norman speculates that it should be a place like a management center.

Let’s not talk about how to escape, but if you escape from the farm, the first step must be to enter the forest. At that time, the farm management will definitely send people to arrest the children who escaped, so the understanding of the forest is definitely important. A key factor in the success of the escape.

After wandering around in the forest for so long, Chloe barely figured out a few roads, not to mention passing through the forest, he probably didn't even go half way.

If you want to see the whole picture of the forest, whether it is slime or human form, it will probably take at least a month, but the children on the farm probably won't be able to wait that long.

Thinking of this, Chloe looked up at a small piece of sky above her head that was not covered by trees. Under the blue sky and white clouds, a group of birds could be seen flying freely.

Ah, it looks like I came up with a good idea.

……

"Norman!"

The white-haired boy walked silently on the roots of the trees in the woods, avoiding the fallen leaves and the muddy ground under his feet, leaving almost no traces along the way.

Hearing someone call his name, he raised his head subconsciously and looked around, but he didn't see anyone.

"Here!" The other party's voice became louder.

Norman followed the source of the sound and looked up. A small sparrow was perched on a branch and looked at him with its head tilted.

"Chloe?"

Hearing Norman's tentative sound, the sparrow nodded silently, spread its wings, and flew down. When it was about to land, it turned into a slime again.

"How is it? This is my new mimicry, isn't it amazing?" Chloe raised her head excitedly and showed off to Norman. In order to catch a sparrow, he specially analyzed and reconstructed a grass cage and set up a wooden stick to guard it. It's been a long time.

"Well, I was taken aback just now." Norman said with a smile on his lips, but he didn't look frightened at all.

"Why are you here alone today? Where are Emma and Ray?" Chloe didn't pay attention to his expression, but turned around strangely a few times, and found that there were no other two figures, so she asked suspiciously.

"Emma was left by the nun to do work, and Ray was delaying Mom. I only came here while I was playing hide-and-seek with my younger siblings, and I couldn't stay too long." Norman shrugged helplessly, and after finishing speaking, he stretched his arms. Putting his finger on his left ear and pointing, there was no words, but Chloe had already seen what he wanted to express.

"Have you been suspected?" For the convenience of monitoring them and preventing them from escaping, the children in the orphanage are all equipped with small transmitters in their left ears. The meaning of Norman's gesture is self-evident.

"To be precise, we have been exposed." Norman smiled wryly, "You can't underestimate our mother."

"Eh? Then why did she let you move around freely? Didn't she lock you up?" Chloe asked in surprise.

Norman answered the question easily: "Because she is confident enough to prevent us from escaping. After all, she doesn't know that you are outside to meet Chloe." After speaking, he took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it, with a slightly Seriously, he began to ask Chloe about the forest outside.

It has to be said that Chloe, who has the ability to fly, moves much faster in the forest. Although he occasionally encounters attacks from ghosts that only act like wild animals, he has already figured out most of the forest. , "Great Sage" can draw a simple map through the information received by his vision, and it is estimated that it will take less than a week to explore a safe path through the forest.

Chloe and Norman briefly talked about the situation in the forest, and told him that there were only some ignorant ghosts there. Norman thought for a long time after listening.

"I didn't expect ghosts to have graded varieties. Some ghosts behave like humans, but some ghosts can't think. Could it be that they evolved by eating humans... If they stop eating humans, will it be the same? What about degradation?"

Facing Norman who was muttering to himself, Chloe could only say that he didn't think so much.

"Thank you, Chloe, for providing us with a lot of useful information." Fortunately, Norman didn't want to discuss this issue with him in detail. He came over during the 10 minutes of hide-and-seek, Now it's 10 minutes, and he's about to set off to find the kids hiding everywhere.

"Okay, remember to contact me if there is any emergency." Chloe gave them a transparent crystal when he left last time, which was condensed by his magic essence. If it is destroyed by external force, Chloe will Yi could sense it immediately.

Seeing that the slime turned back into a little sparrow and was about to flap its wings and fly towards the wall, Norman, who was standing there, suddenly stopped him: "There is one more thing to trouble you, Chloe."

"Ok?"

"If you pass through that forest and encounter other humans, please investigate as much as possible, a man named William Minerva."

"Huh?" Chloe was a little surprised, "Is it the child from before here?"

Although this guess is impossible, it stands to reason that they live in a closed orphanage, and it is generally impossible to come into contact with outsiders.

"No." Norman shook his head, and explained a few words briefly: "It's an author Emma found in the library, and it's likely to be our companion."

"Okay." Chloe nodded, although she didn't quite understand what was going on, "I'll keep an eye on it."

After he finished speaking, he flew away towards the outside of the wall, and Norman, who stayed where he was, stood there quietly, watching Chloe, who was flapping his wings and flying high into the sky, gradually disappearing from his vision, wondering what he was thinking .
