Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

“Ming... Ming Ming Ming Hao! What, what is that!”

Sally completely ignored the changes around her, only her eyes shining as she held up Lu Minghao in her arms, her little face full of excitement as she looked at him and asked.

“A clone, isn't that normal for slimes?”

Lu Minghao was startled by Sally's sudden action. For slimes that can reproduce asexually, isn't splitting off an individual a normal thing? Why was Sally suddenly so excited?

“Minghao, is that your child?”

Sally looked at Lu Minghao with her big, sparkling eyes, occasionally lowering her head to look at the place where the little slime had disappeared. At this moment, a sense of inexplicable excitement and responsibility filled Sally's heart.

“...I said it's just a clone.”

At this moment, Lu Minghao, who finally understood why Sally was suddenly excited, helplessly patted Sally's little head. He had already said it was just a clone, and Lu Minghao had no interest in procreation. That clone was just like a signal transmitter.

It could continuously maintain the passive of the [Gluttony] talent, constantly activating and eroding everything here, providing a large number of gluttonous monsters. Besides that, it was also a signal receiver and a soul and nutrient storage. Unless Lu Minghao's consciousness descended, this little slime was just a tool.

Moreover, Lu Minghao wasn't worried about exposing himself because of the little slime. Once humans or monsters found this place, Lu Minghao would immediately and completely destroy the little slime, even if it meant wasting the stored souls and nutrients, he would never let humans or monsters discover its existence.

“That... Minghao, can you give Sally one?”

After listening to Lu Minghao's explanation, Sally nodded her little head as if she understood, and then leaned in front of Lu Minghao, looking at him with a hopeful expression. She wanted a little Minghao that could stay by her side at any time.

“...No! And we should run now.”

Looking at the big eyes blinking at him, Lu Minghao hesitated for a few seconds before directly rejecting Sally. He was right next to her, and she still wanted his clone!

“Oh!”

After being rejected by Lu Minghao, Sally pouted her little mouth and nodded, her legs slightly bent and her body leaning forward. The next second, the flesh and blood ground under Sally's feet exploded directly, and Sally's figure turned into a black shadow and flew away into the distance, with a large amount of flesh and blood flying in the air behind her.

In the blink of an eye, Sally's figure had turned into a black dot and disappeared into the horizon, and the big pit she had stepped out of returned to its original state with a burst of wriggling.

At the edge of the flesh and blood land, under the strange and twisted undulations, the ordinary land was being activated little by little, and the insects in the soil were also constantly mutating and twisting. Their originally tiny bodies were constantly expanding, and tentacles full of mucus covered their bodies. Their heads and stomachs slowly split open, and chrysanthemum-shaped mouths began to gnaw at the ground, before disappearing in place.

Such scenes were happening at all times deep in this land. All kinds of insects began to mutate and twist, and then, driven by endless hunger, they began to leave this place in search of food.

.....

.....

A week later, on a high mountain not far outside the capital of the Edras Kingdom.

Sally held Lu Minghao and looked at the huge city below. During this time, Lu Minghao had taken her all over the Edras Kingdom, and every time they came to a new place, Lu Minghao would take Sally to find a remote mountain or deep underground, sometimes even an underground cave or an underground water vein.

In short, wherever it was hidden and not easily discovered, Lu Minghao would take Sally to drill into it, and then use the [Gluttony] talent's passive Gluttony Sin to twist, pollute, and erode everything, creating a large number of gluttonous monsters, and after leaving a clone, they would quietly leave again.

As for why Lu Minghao didn't choose to transform a monster village or city directly like the first time, it was entirely because Lu Minghao discovered that it was better to build the polluted land deep underground than on the ground. This way, it was not only safer, but it could also silently erode and transform everything on the ground.

By the time the nearby monsters reacted, it would be too late. They would face an endless army of gluttonous monsters. If Lu Minghao had found a monster village like the first time, he would have been discovered in less than a day after leaving.

Of course, during this process, Lu Minghao and Sally also encountered battlefields where the Yst Kingdom and the Edras Kingdom were fighting. Lu Minghao only quietly collected the souls of the dead humans and monsters, and then created a polluted land deep underground below the battlefield before leaving.

If you ask why Lu Minghao didn't directly rush into the battlefield and kill and devour all the armies and strongmen of the two kingdoms, it wasn't that the current Lu Minghao couldn't do it, but there was a simpler way that wouldn't expose himself, so why would Lu Minghao rush up mindlessly?

For Lu Minghao, as long as it was in his own interests, he wouldn't mind using any means. The only thing Lu Minghao cared about was the result, and he didn't care about how despicable and dirty the process was.

“Minghao, only the area near the capital of the Edras Kingdom is left. Are we going to start here?”

Sally took one last look at the capital of the Edras Kingdom in the distance, lowered her head and looked at Lu Minghao in her arms, and asked. According to the previous habit, they should have directly drilled into the depths of this mountain, and then activated and eroded it, creating a large number of gluttonous monsters.

“No, this time we're going there.”

This time, Lu Minghao didn't plan to build the polluted land here, but in the capital of the Edras Kingdom below. With Lu Minghao's massive pollution and erosion over the past week, he had created a massive number of gluttonous monsters.

At this time, not only the Edras Kingdom, but even the nearby kingdoms had begun to become chaotic. Tide-like monsters were frantically devouring everything they encountered, whether it was monsters or humans. As long as they were encountered by the gluttonous monsters, they would be torn apart and devoured to fill their endless stomachs.

Now, the nearby kingdoms had begun to organize armies to seal off the borders of the Edras Kingdom, because the major kingdoms discovered that these monsters were all appearing from within the Edras Kingdom. Even the Yst Kingdom, which was invading the Edras Kingdom, chose to suspend its invasion in the face of the tide-like gluttonous monsters.

Because these monsters completely disregarded their own casualties every time they attacked, and even if they were shattered, they couldn't be completely killed. The broken pieces of meat would automatically gather together to form even larger and more terrifying monsters, and they could only be killed by completely destroying them with magic.

For this reason, the army of the Yst Kingdom had paid a heavy price in the past few days. Now, those soldiers would feel fear from the bottom of their hearts when they saw those gluttonous monsters. At this time, a biohazard crisis from another world was equivalent to happening in the Edras Kingdom, except that this time the biohazard crisis monsters were not weak and rigid existences like zombies.

But some indescribable monsters that completely disregarded their own deaths and were difficult to kill.

“Where, Minghao, are you talking about the capital of the Edras Kingdom!”

Sally looked in the direction Lu Minghao was pointing, and her big eyes lit up all of a sudden. Although Sally didn't hate the life of digging holes and creating gluttonous monsters every day during this time, she was still just a child who had just turned ten years old today, and she also had a desire to play. Of course, the most important reason why Sally wanted to go there was that their seasonings were running out.

“Let's go.”

“Yeah!”

As soon as Lu Minghao finished speaking, Sally couldn't wait to nod, and hugged Lu Minghao and jumped directly from the top. After nearly three minutes of free fall, just a second before reaching the ground, a gust of wind rose under Sally's feet, and the high-speed falling body gently landed on the ground.

This was the skill Sally had acquired to control the wind after eating a wind wolf a few days ago.

In the dense jungle, Sally held Lu Minghao and hopped and jumped on the soft grass, her little face with a simple and lovely smile, like an ordinary little girl, occasionally running to the bushes to pick a wild fruit and stuff it into her mouth, and sometimes running to the flower bushes in front, squatting down and putting her little face close to the purple flowers, sniffing the fragrance with her little nose.

The golden sunlight shone through the leaves on Sally's body, as if covering her with a layer of golden veil. In Sally's arms, Lu Minghao looked at Sally jumping and playing and smiled gently, silently watching Sally occasionally stuff things like wild fruits that she thought were delicious into her body.

“Minghao, look, so many monsters!”

At the edge of the forest, Sally's purple eyes twinkled as she looked at the endless stream of monsters on the road not far away heading towards the capital of the Edras Kingdom, and the crystal clear liquid at the corner of her mouth couldn't help but flow out. So many monsters must be delicious!

“Let's go.”

Lu Minghao looked at the monsters in the long line ahead on the road, gently patted Sally's arm to signal her to follow. As for why so many monsters were gathering in the capital of the Edras Kingdom, it should be blamed on Lu Minghao.

After all, now in the entire territory of the Edras Kingdom, a large number of gluttonous monsters are frantically killing and devouring. Ordinary monsters are facing endless and difficult to kill gluttonous monsters, and they have no choice but to flee their homes.

Moreover, even if some strong monsters wanted to kill those gluttonous monsters, they would find that they couldn't do it at all, because after devouring a large amount of food, the strength of many gluttonous monsters had also begun to increase rapidly, coupled with that terrifying recovery and number.

Now, it can be said that the Edras Kingdom, except for the major cities and the capital, has almost completely fallen and become a paradise for gluttonous monsters.

“It's a Oni!”

“Great, another powerhouse has returned to the royal capital, we should be safe now.”

On the pebble-paved road, many monsters noticed Sally walking out of the forest, especially after seeing the Oni horns on her head and her humanoid appearance, and feeling the powerful magic aura, they all showed expressions of respect, envy, and relief, and even many monsters saluted Sally.
