Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

The southernmost part of the sewer system, above the Kalandu area, is the most densely populated area for monsters, with a large open space. A closer look reveals that this large open space was formed by connecting several sewers.

In this dim and foul-smelling open space, piles of garbage accumulate like mountains. In the center of the many garbage piles, a village of several hundred goblins is located. In front of the village, more than a dozen young goblins are rummaging through the garbage, looking for things that can still be eaten or used. However, strangely, these young goblins are constantly scratching their skin, as if something is inside them.

On the side, adult goblins watch the playful young goblins with smiles on their faces. Further away, several hobgoblins are wielding weapons and constantly training.

"Why are you back so early today? Did something happen?"

At this moment, a hobgoblin wielding a long sword saw three goblins emerging from the dark passage in the distance. As the chief of this goblin village, he knew something must have happened when he saw the three goblins returning early and looking uneasy. He quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Something happened. The Fang Wolf tribe should all be dead, and..."

The hobgoblin, covered in scars, solemnly told the hobgoblin in front of him everything that had happened. However, the scarred goblin didn't notice that as he recounted the events, bulges began to appear and squirm under his skin, and his hands kept scratching his body.

"Flesh sprouts... and there are strange tremors deep in the sewer."

After listening, the hobgoblin chief's expression gradually became serious. He didn't know why, but when he heard the scarred hobgoblin's story, he felt a strange familiarity with the appearance of the Fang Wolf tribe after their death, as if he had heard of the exact same situation somewhere before.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Suddenly, screams of terror and panic came from the goblin village in the distance. Hearing the screams, the hobgoblin chief didn't care about anything else and quickly turned and ran towards the sound, followed by the other hobgoblins.

When they arrived outside the goblin village, a terrifying scene unfolded before their eyes. More than a dozen goblin cubs were frantically tearing at and entangling each other, devouring their companions' bodies in large bites, their eyes filled with greed and hunger.

On the side, the other adult goblins were watching them from a distance, their eyes filled with horror. They also had bite marks of varying sizes on their bodies. Some adult goblins even had half of their arms missing, the wounds clearly showing signs of being bitten off.

Just half a minute ago, the dozen or so goblin cubs who had been playing and rummaging through the garbage suddenly changed their personalities drastically. After letting out meaningless howls, they pounced directly on the nearest companions. The adult goblins, who had noticed something was wrong at the time, quickly tried to stop them.

However, the originally weak and bored young goblins suddenly became much stronger and incredibly bloodthirsty. Despite being outnumbered by the adult goblins by more than double, nearly half of them were killed in just over ten seconds, and even their corpses were devoured by the young goblins.

Seeing this, the remaining adult goblins quickly fled, only daring to watch the young goblins kill and devour each other from a distance.

"What exactly happened?"

The hobgoblin chief had just arrived and saw the goblin cubs killing each other and the adult goblins hiding aside, covered in wounds. His expression became increasingly solemn and gloomy. Instinct told him that today's sewer was completely different from usual, as if everything was twisting and mutating.

"Chief... they... they are now exactly like the Fang Wolf tribe we saw before!"

At this moment, the hobgoblin who had discovered the beauty of the tentacles suddenly turned pale with fright, tremblingly raised his hand and shouted at the young goblins in the distance. Wounds appeared where the goblin cubs were bitten, and slender flesh sprouts grew out, then burrowing into the bodies of other goblin cubs.

Moreover, as the flesh sprouts grew more and more numerous, the bodies of the dozen or so goblin cubs were gradually melting and gathering together, turning into a blurred mass of flesh, their shapes completely distorted. Countless slender flesh sprouts, about one meter long, were constantly wriggling and intertwining on top.

"Mo... Monsters! They are those monsters!"

At this moment, the hobgoblin chief finally remembered where his previous inexplicable sense of familiarity came from. Not long ago, he had left the sewer to go to the city above and learned from many monsters who had fled to the royal city of Kalandu about the monsters that were raging throughout the Edras Kingdom.

And now, the monsters that the young goblins had turned into were exactly the same as the monsters he had heard about from the monsters who had fled to the royal capital... But why would these monsters appear here? Could it be that Kalandu above has already been captured by those monsters?

The next second, a completely new question appeared in the Great Goblin Chieftain's mind, but whether out of instinct or due to King Edras's powerful strength, the Great Goblin Chieftain was unwilling to believe such a thing. You must know that their King was a powerful Oni of the Demon King species, and also possessed unique skills.

Moreover, besides the King, the entire Royal Capital also gathered five high-ranking magical beasts, including the top high-ranking magical beast, Frost Demon Wolf Oz, and the two-headed Pseudo-Dragon Chris.

With so many powerful existences, how could these monsters quietly break through the Royal City? If those monsters really had the power to break through the Royal City, then at least the entire Royal City would have been destroyed in the aftermath of the battle as a price.

"Hungry... Give... Give me food!"

Just then, the meatball monster formed by the fusion of more than a dozen juvenile goblins suddenly split open, revealing a terrifying and disgusting large mouth. Countless villi squirmed wildly inside the mouth, emitting a huge roar, and then it wriggled its body and quickly crawled towards the many goblins.

"Take the remaining comrades and transfer! I will temporarily hold this monster back for now!"

Looking at the rapidly approaching monster, the Goblin Chieftain didn't bother to think about why monsters would appear in Calando. He quickly raised the long sword in his hand, his eyes fixed on the monster in front of him, and said to the people behind him without turning his head.

"But, why should we escape? It is so beautiful, whether it is those villi or the perfect figure, everything is so beautiful, why don't we become a part of it?"

Suddenly, a crazy and fanatical voice sounded behind the Great Goblin Chieftain. When he realized something was wrong and turned his head, he discovered that the three Great Goblins who had returned from training had already turned into twisted and strange appearances. In particular, one of the Great Goblins had grown four or five emerald green tentacles, and the hideous giant mouths at the tips of the tentacles were swallowing the adult goblins around them one by one.

As the tentacles wriggled, all the swallowed adult goblins merged into its body. In just a few seconds, the Great Goblin grew several more tentacles, and goblin faces appeared on its increasingly bloated body.

Clang!

Looking at everything behind him, a look of despair appeared on the Great Goblin Chieftain's face. Finally, it loosened the long sword in its hand. The moment the long sword fell to the ground, a ball of flesh swallowed the Great Goblin Chieftain and all the remaining goblins.

In the end, a monster covered in villi and tentacles appeared in place, and the monster's body was covered with goblin faces... And similar things were happening quietly in every part of the sewer.

.....

"Did you find her?"

In the central square of Calando, Edras stared wide-eyed at Oz and Chris in front of him. Ever since identifying Sally as the only hope and savior of the Edras Kingdom, Edras rushed into the Royal Capital with Oz and Chris at the first moment, and began searching everywhere for Sally's whereabouts.

However, after Edras had searched the entire central area of Calando, and even his own palace, almost upside down, he couldn't find any trace of Sally. Helpless, Edras could only hope that Oz and Chris, who were searching in other areas of Calando, would have some good news.

"No, I even flew into the sky and circled the Royal Capital, but I couldn't find Sally at all."

The two heads of the Pseudo-Dragon Chris shook their heads first, revealing a helpless expression. Even if it scanned the entire Royal Capital in the sky, and even used the magic element perception skill, it couldn't find Sally at all.

"I didn't find her here either. I even asked the residents of the Royal Capital, and they all said they hadn't seen an Oni girl with black hair and purple eyes."

Beside him, the Frost Demon Wolf Oz also shook his huge head. In order to find Sally, it not only asked the residents of the Royal Capital, but even used the olfactory tracking that it hadn't used for a long time, but Sally's aura completely disappeared after entering Calando.

"Neither of you found her? Could it be that she has already left the Royal Capital? But this kind of thing is impossible. It can't be that she came to Calando just to take a look at the Royal Capital, or she deliberately avoided us."

After hearing that the two high-ranking magical beasts hadn't found Sally either, Edras fell into doubt. It was clear that many magical beasts had personally seen Sally enter the city, but now she had disappeared without a trace. But Edras's intuition told him that Sally must still be somewhere in the Royal Capital, but she was deliberately avoiding their search.

"Edras, do you think it's because you scared her before?"

At this time, Oz's huge wolf head leaned over and looked at Edras with a contemptuous expression, asking. In its opinion, it must have been Edras who scared Sally before, which made her afraid to come out. After all, judging from the perception of life aura, that Oni girl hadn't even reached adulthood yet.

"...Probably not, right?"

Looking at Oz, who was looking at him with a contemptuous expression, Edras also began to feel guilty. After all, if it were him when he was still a high-ranking magical beast, and suddenly a Demon King species blocked his door, and then looked like he absolutely had to find him, then he would definitely hide.

"Uncle, are you looking for Sally?"
