Zongman: About my reincarnation as a slime

Chapter 17·The shadow behind

"Good hold."

In the purple mist, Lu Minghao swallowed the thick liquid after the last shadow rat was dissolved into his body. His body, which was originally only the size of a basketball, had expanded several times. With just a slight jump, Lu Minghao felt like the food he had eaten would surge up. Come out feeling.

"It's a pity that so much is wasted."

Seeing that there was at least half of the food left around him, Lu Minghao was reluctant to give it up but still turned around and jumped towards the exit of the sewer. After killing all the giant rats in the sewer, Lu Minghao's bad premonition became more and more obvious.

Even when he was devouring the shadow rats, Lu Minghao felt the substantial gaze in the darkness. Now he was extremely sure that there was indeed something here that was staring at him, but the existence hidden in the darkness for some purpose was not there. He showed up and just silently watched everything Lu Minghao did.

'You have to leave quickly, and you have to pretend that you haven't noticed the other party. You can delay it as long as you can. '

After a while, Lu Minghao, who felt that most of the magic essence in his body had been recovered under the supply of a large amount of nutrients, directly merged into the shadow below him, and quickly moved away from this area.

Less than a minute after Lu Minghao left, several figures quietly appeared here, one of them put his hand on the place where Lu Minghao disappeared, sensing something, and a few seconds later, that figure stood up and faced the other two nodded.

"Have you found the slime yet?"

A man in a white coat with eyes asked. His eyes through the lenses had a cold, dead light, as if life in his eyes was just a series of cold experimental numbers.

"Lord Charles, my subordinate has determined the location of the slime, but the slime is fleeing quickly and will soon leave the subordinate's perception range."

The figure shrouded in black robes was half-kneeling and said. Through the gaps in the black robes, a pair of blood-colored beast eyes and skin covered with scales could be vaguely seen.

"No. [-], go and capture that slime. Remember to capture it alive. I have a hunch that he will be a precious experimental material."

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, No. [-] tore up the black robe on his body, and a strange existence with animal horns on his head, black scales all over his body, and limbs like tentacles (meow) hands appeared in place, and then his body turned into a phantom towards Lu Minghao chased after him in the direction he left.

"No. [-] will clean up the traces left behind and the experiment will continue."

Charles glanced at No. [-] who was leaving, and after giving instructions, he took out a test tube and began to collect the remaining purple mist. Although he was indeed very interested in that special slime, the most important thing at the moment was that the battle was ready. More than ten years of experiments.

As long as the experiment succeeds, his experimental results will be valued by the entire empire.
"Lord Charles, it has been cleaned up."

At this time, No. [-], who had cleaned up all the traces, returned to Charles. After the report, he stood there like a machine waiting for new orders.

"Go back to the laboratory first."

"Yes."

No. [-] Dian nodded and put his hand on Charles' shoulder. A blue magic circle unfolded under his feet. The two disappeared in a flash of light. The dark sewer returned to its original state again, except that the people who originally lived here Hundreds of thousands of giant rats have completely disappeared, turning into puddles of thick liquid.The whistling wind in the sewer seems to be telling something, like the howling of hundreds of thousands of giant rats from the soul.

There is a large mountain hundreds of miles away from the small town of Alirela. The inside of the mountain has been completely hollowed out and transformed into various laboratories. Screams, roars, and wailings can be heard all the time in the laboratory. Inside, under the pale light, figures wearing white coats walked one after another on the corridor made of steel.

click!
Suddenly, the door of a laboratory opened, and Charles walked out with No. [-]. The cold light was reflected on the lenses. The passing experimenters bowed slightly after seeing Charles and continued their work.

"Lord Charles, how is Experiment No. [-] going?"

At this time, a man with a gentle temperament walked up to Charles and asked with a faint smile on his face. However, the smile seemed nothing at first, but as long as you look carefully for a few seconds, you will feel that it is fake, so fake that It’s heartbreaking.

"There was a slight problem, but I also got a new harvest. I found a slime that is very good as an experimental material."

Charles turned his head and glanced at the man next to him with a hint of disgust on his face. The test tube said slowly.

"Oh~ It's a nice slime. It seems that His Majesty Charles really likes low-level monsters!"

"Humph!"

After hearing the secretly mocking words of the fake smile, Charles snorted and led No. [-] directly past him towards his laboratory. After all, the experimental concepts of the two sides were completely different. Charles used various low-level monsters as his weapons. Basic transformation, but the other party believes that low-level monsters have no value at all in transformation.

He believes that only powerful monsters paired with the bloodline genes of ancient human heroes can create the most powerful monster existence by combining the two.

But Charles insists on transforming low-level monsters, because transforming high-level monsters requires a lot of resources and humans. As long as it is successfully proven that low-level monsters have the value of transforming, then the low cost of transforming low-level monsters will greatly increase the strength of the empire's monster army. At that time, his status will also rise, and he will participate in more advanced experiments.

After a while, Charles took No. [-] into his own exclusive laboratory. Several large screens inside were showing everything in the Giant Rat Kingdom, including Di Rui who was devouring Di Rui's blood to let his body adapt. Cass and Deery, who was lying on the bed silently regaining strength.

More than ten years ago, it was actually Charles who deliberately released Dickas from the laboratory, and Charles also deliberately guided him to the small town of Alirela. Over the years, every move of Dickas has been controlled by Charlie. under Sri Lanka's surveillance.

During this period, Charles also secretly collected various body data of Dicas and tailored it to create Diri, the owner of the ancient heroic bloodline. Then Charles released Diri from the laboratory again just like he did more than ten years ago. .

And everything went as Charles expected. After noticing the attraction of the ancient heroic blood of mankind from Di Rui's body, Di Cass secretly guided Di Rui to Alirela, and was captured by Di Cass.

Everything went perfectly according to Charles' plan, except that a strange slime appeared during the period, but it had no impact on the overall plan, and he was even about to harvest a good experimental material.

"No. [-], you have to work hard! I have already sacrificed too much for you!"

In the laboratory, Charles' cold eyes looked at Dix on the screen who was gradually adapting to the bloodline of ancient human heroes. The aura on his body became colder and colder, as if he was hiding in the dark and waiting for his prey to be delivered to his door. Like a poisonous snake.
