Zongman: About my reincarnation as a slime

Chapter 18: Escape
In the damp and dark sewer, a slime was quickly escaping forward, completely ignoring that the movement it caused attracted a large number of monsters living in the sewer, as if there were some terrifying creatures chasing him in the dark passage behind him. Just keep it.

"Tch! I knew something was wrong with that ghostly place, luckily I ran fast!"

On the moss-covered stone floor, Lu Minghao was hopping several meters away and running away quickly. Not long after he left the deepest sewer, Lu Minghao's inner uneasiness became more and more obvious. Out of caution, Lu Minghao did not bother to hide himself and started directly. Sprint with all your strength.

Although it is indeed safe to sneak into the shadows and escape, the speed is not as fast as it is now. Moreover, Lu Minghao can't survive for long with his current amount of magic. When the magic is used up, he will no longer be able to resist. None.

"By the way, what on earth is chasing me? How can it still accurately locate my direction after escaping so far?"

Half an hour later, in a dry river in the sewer, on an unknown garbage pile, Lu Minghao looked solemnly at the dark and bottomless passage behind him. You must know that with Lu Minghao's current physical strength at the peak of a lower-level monster, half of the Hours were enough for it to escape nearly a hundred kilometers away.

And in order to prevent being caught, Lu Minghao always picked difficult places to walk, such as holes only ten centimeters in size, rivers full of filth and excrement, and even crawled through a sewer filled with garbage. In short, In order to escape for his life, Lu Minghao no longer cared about anything else, but the threat behind him did not weaken at all. Lu Minghao even instinctively felt that the thing chasing him was approaching.

During this period, it's not that Lu Minghao didn't think about escaping from the sewers and running directly out of the city limits. It's going to be a big day to see how the other party can find him.

However, this idea was abandoned by Lu Minghao within a second. After all, in such a complex environment as the sewer, the other party could follow closely behind him. If he left the sewer, he would be caught before he could run for long.

"No, we can't continue like this. The other party can follow me closely without leaving any traces and the complex situation in the sewers, and even get closer and closer. Then the other party must be stronger than me, at least they are mid-level monsters. The pinnacle of existence.”

Lu Minghao silently turned around and continued to run forward. However, this time he did not run around anymore but carefully observed the situation around him. Although he was not sure what was chasing him now, he was definitely creating something. Who are the guys behind the entire Giant Rat Kingdom?

And the opponent must have some ability to lock his position, which means that if Lu Minghao wants to escape successfully, he must find a place that only slimes can enter, rely on the terrain to temporarily block the guy who is chasing him, and then Use that time to escape far enough to where the other side cannot lock.

brush!
Just as Lu Minghao was carefully observing his surroundings, he suddenly felt the air behind him begin to vibrate, and the magic energy in his body was running wildly. His body instantly sank into the shadows beneath him. And just when Lu Minghao completely sank into the shadows, a long line of The suction cup's tentacles hit the ground heavily.

"Eh? You actually avoided it?"

A slightly surprised voice came from the dark passage in the distance. Originally, No. [-] thought that his blow was enough to knock down the slime, and at the speed of the slime, it was not possible at all. May avoid its attacks.

"Why is he so meowing that he even has a hand monster coming out?"

In the shadow not far away, Lu Minghao emerged from the shadow with a gloomy face. He looked at the tentacle that smashed cracks into the ground. The next second, the tentacle retracted into the darkness again. Seeing this, Lu Minghao also Ignoring the consumption of magic energy, he sank directly into the shadows and fled from this place at full speed.

If Lu Minghao hadn't instinctively felt the vibration in the air and avoided it on his own, now Lu Minghao would have been caught by the opponent. Once caught, Lu Minghao didn't think he would have the possibility of escaping. After all, the opponent touched (meow) his hand. Which suckers are definitely not decorations. "Slime, just let me catch you! With the ability given by Lord Charles, you have no hope of escaping!"

In the shadows, Lu Minghao heard a voice from behind, and instead of slowing down, it accelerated even more. Gluttony seemed to have sensed Lu Minghao's intentions, and began to frantically digest and absorb the food that Lu Minghao had swallowed before, supplying a large amount of nutrients to Lu Minghao's body Not only did his magic power not decrease, but it actually increased.

Moreover, the original misty magic essence in Lu Minghao's body also began to thicken a little bit at this time, and his body also continued to evolve under the enhancement of magic essence, but at this time Lu Minghao, who was all focused on escaping, couldn't notice these things at all. , just relying on the slime's ability to feel the vibration of the air to find a way to escape successfully.

"Huh? What is this feeling?"

Suddenly, Lu Minghao felt a strange fluctuation in the air, and his body that had been sunk in the shadows half emerged. The surrounding environment had become darker and darker, and there was also a sense of moisture in the air, which was originally full of stench. The sewer also had a fresh smell, and the most important thing was that Lu Minghao heard the sound of water flowing.

"Underground veins!"

Hearing the sound of water flowing in the distance, Lu Minghao jumped out of the shadows and rushed towards the direction of the sound. Apart from underground water veins, Lu Minghao could not think of anything else that could make the water flow rapidly deep underground. exist.

No. [-], who was chasing behind, seemed to sense something was wrong, and each tentacle began to attack Lu Minghao crazily.

However, since No. [-] is still nearly a kilometer away from Lu Minghao at this time, the length of the tentacles can only reach Lu Minghao, and the attack speed and reaction speed will be affected to some extent.

Suddenly, Lu Minghao, who was rushing forward, saw a vortex with a diameter of one meter in the center of the sewer river not far away, and a steady stream of sewage was flowing into an unknown place from this vortex.

That was the entrance to the underground water vein that Lu Minghao was looking for. As long as he escaped there, Lu Minghao would be sure to escape successfully. After all, slimes do not need to breathe. Lu Minghao did not believe that the guy who was chasing him would do the same, and look at the vortex. You can tell from the appearance that the entrance is not too big.

Snapped!
The moment Lu Minghao saw the vortex leading to the underground water veins, a tentacle suddenly appeared behind him and directly hit Lu Minghao's body. In an instant, something exploded behind Lu Minghao's body, and he was immediately thrown away. A piece of his chubby body was also missing.

However, relying on this thrust, Lu Minghao successfully fell into the whirlpool, was sucked in and disappeared into the river in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! I didn't expect this slime to have such an ability, and it actually allowed him to escape. How should I explain it to Sir Charles when I get back!"
