Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Inside an abandoned village, dilapidated houses and barren fields, with walls blackened by fire, the entire village exuded a sense of desolation and decay in the night, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.

"Looks like we're getting close to the battlefield."

Inside a dilapidated wooden house, Lu Minghao peered out through a drafty window, surveying the scene outside. The once dark and desolate village was now full of life. Many adventurers had lit campfires, preparing their dinner for the day. Occasionally, the voices of a few hot-tempered fellows shouting could be heard, but they all restrained themselves from conflict.

This was a small village in the southern part of the Ister Kingdom. Nearly five days had passed since they departed from Grant. After Cape Bourbon left that day, many adventurers, led by the soldiers, began heading towards the war front between the Ister Kingdom and the Edras Kingdom.

Initially, they could still see signs of human life in many villages, but from yesterday onwards, as they got closer to the battlefield, all the villages they encountered had turned into ruins, with no trace of human life. Even without the soldiers' reminders, many adventurers had noticed the abnormality.

During each rest stop, besides the vigilant soldiers, many adventurer teams would also arrange for some members to set up traps and strictly prohibit drinking. Furthermore, the captains of each adventurer team had tacitly begun to restrain their teammates, forbidding them from engaging in friction or arguments with other adventurers to prevent accidents.

"Minghao, when are we leaving?"

At this moment, Sally walked over and reached out to hug Lu Minghao, who was by the window sill. After casually stuffing a piece of jerky into Lu Minghao's mouth, she asked with a curious look. Sally knew that they weren't here to participate in any war mission, but to obtain nourishment.

"Not yet. If we leave directly, our abnormality will definitely be noticed. We can find an opportunity to fake our deaths on the battlefield later."

As he spoke, Lu Minghao reached out to touch Sally's head, but suddenly noticed something black on the corner of Sally's mouth that looked familiar. Sally also noticed Lu Minghao's gaze and quickly raised her hand to wipe her mouth, guiltily turning her head to the side, not daring to look at Lu Minghao.

"Sally... what did you just eat?"

"That... this... Sally... Sally ate meat, yes, Sally ate meat!"

Faced with Lu Minghao's questioning, Sally panicked, quickly raising one hand to cover her mouth, grabbing a piece of jerky and placing it in front of Lu Minghao, indicating that she ate this. She had carefully checked after eating, so how could she still be discovered?

"....Sally, since when is meat made of dirt?"

Looking at Sally, who was blinking her big eyes and looking at him innocently, Lu Minghao directly raised his hand and knocked her head. This little one actually ran to dig up some dirt to taste out of curiosity. In fact, Lu Minghao had noticed a few days ago that Sally was always staring at the ground when she walked.

He didn't expect that today, she would take advantage of his inattention and run to grab some dirt to taste.

"Sally, remember not to eat dirt unless absolutely necessary. It has no nutrition. Even gnawing on a tree is better than that stuff."

A few seconds later, Lu Minghao sighed and jumped onto Sally's head, gently stroking her demon horns. In fact, Lu Minghao knew why Sally ran to eat dirt. Curiosity was one aspect, but the main reason was her past experiences that had made her afraid of hunger.

The feeling of being so hungry that even walking was weak, of scavenging for rotten food in garbage dumps to survive, of fighting with wild dogs for food, made Sally want to confirm as soon as she knew that she could survive by eating dirt.

Because if it was true, then Sally would never have to worry about being hungry again.

"Hehe, Sally knows."

Hearing that Lu Minghao wasn't angry because she secretly ate dirt, a trace of a silly smile appeared on Sally's face. Then, she looked at the dirt she had just wiped from her mouth in her hand. She was about to raise her hand to throw it away, but after thinking about it, a trace of reluctance appeared on her face, and she stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it a few times before swallowing it.

Looking at the silly smile on Sally's face, Lu Minghao didn't say anything more, just grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into Sally's little mouth, watching her eat with her cheeks bulging.

Half an hour later, Sally, who had finished eating, hugged Lu Minghao and walked into the only relatively intact room in the wooden house. She rubbed her elastic body against Lu Minghao's face and fell into a deep sleep. After Sally lay down, the shadows in the room began to twist, sealing off the exit of the entire room.

......

Early in the morning, as the first ray of sunlight illuminated the earth, a huge plain appeared in front of everyone, led by the soldiers. As far as the eye could see, the original grassy green plain had turned blood-red, with densely packed corpses lying on it. The wind blowing towards them was full of the stench of blood and rotting corpses.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Roar! Damn humans!"

On the plain, dark masses of soldiers were roaring and charging towards the front, while various kinds of monsters on the opposite side were also roaring and charging up. In an instant, the two sides collided, and a large number of soldiers and monsters were directly turned into minced meat, with broken limbs flying everywhere.

Swords and claws clashed, and the screams and wails of the dying echoed through the sky. Dark red steel armor was torn apart, and soldiers' bodies were thrown into the air like rags, their heads rolling to the side, then bitten and swallowed by a large mouth full of fangs.

Some soldiers were hit by flames from the mouths of monsters, their black and red armor melted, and their bodies were cooked before being swarmed and devoured by many monsters. Some monsters had just torn a soldier apart one second, and the next second were split in half by a knife, their huge bodies falling to the ground, with internal organs and blood flowing everywhere.

On the boundless battlefield, at this moment, whether it was monsters or humans, the blood-red eyes on their ferocious faces flickered with hatred. The bloody smell permeating the air became more and more pungent, and the sound of magical explosions in the distance continued to come. In the frantic roars of soldiers and monsters like beasts, the original deep blue sky began to be stained blood-red little by little.

"Is this the battlefield?"

Looking at the real battlefield in the distance, with corpses scattered everywhere and rivers of blood flowing, like a hell on earth, the expression of a young adventurer became dazed. The nauseating bloody smell and the stench of rotting corpses in the air made his stomach churn, and his legs had almost lost the strength to stand.

"Wah!"

The next second, the young adventurer knelt on the ground and began to vomit. Like a chain reaction, many young adventurers who knew the real battlefield scene for the first time all vomited, while behind them, elite adventurers looked at them with indifference.

To survive on the battlefield, one must adapt to such an environment, otherwise there is no possibility of survival.
