Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

"Sally, do you want to save them?"

Lu Minghao didn't answer Sally's question, but instead asked her what she thought again. Some things Lu Minghao couldn't just tell Sally directly, she wouldn't understand. Many things can only be understood through personal experience.

Therefore, Lu Minghao left the decision to Sally.

".....I don't know."

Sally fell silent after hearing Lu Minghao's words, and looked up at the monster village down the hillside. When they had just arrived here, the village below, apart from the monsters living in it, was not much different from ordinary human villages.

Various monster cubs were playing and frolicking, some adult monsters went out hunting for food, some guarded the village, and some were doing various jobs. It seemed that apart from the residents in the village being monsters, there was nothing strange.

However, just half an hour ago, a large number of human adventurers found this village. The original peace in the village was broken, and many monster cubs died in the laughter and shouts of the adventurers. The adult monsters guarding the village also let out desperate roars as they watched the dead cubs, and they all chose to give up defending, fighting desperately with the many human adventurers.

Even the old monsters whose fangs and claws had fallen out chose to join the battle, even if it meant death, to protect the young monsters.

Here, the roles of humans and monsters seemed to be reversed. It was no longer the usual scene of human villages being breached by monsters and humans facing the slaughter of monsters in despair, but human adventurers laughing as they cut off the heads of one monster after another, and the valuable materials on their bodies were dug away.

Lu Minghao even saw with his own eyes a human adventurer dragging a goblin beauty into a house, while the other adventurers just laughed and picked and chose among the humanoid female monsters that looked good, as if this kind of thing was common to them.

Outside the house, there were also human adventurers playing a hunting game, using the knives and swords in their hands to pick up the monster cubs high, to attract those monsters hiding in the dark who wanted to attack. If they didn't come out, then these monster cubs would be tortured to death.

Whenever an adult monster couldn't bear what the human adventurers were doing to their cubs and rushed out to be killed, all the adventurers would burst into hearty laughter, and then swarmed up to collect all the valuable fangs, claws, and other materials from the monster, leaving only a tattered corpse.

"Sally, do you think those monsters are pitiful?"

Looking at Sally, who was silently looking at the monster village below, Lu Minghao moved his body gently and flew out of her arms, hovering near Sally's face, stroking her hair and asking.

"Minghao.... Sally doesn't think they are pitiful. The reason why this kind of thing happens is just because they are too weak, so weak that they can't even protect their own family."

Sally turned her head to look at Lu Minghao floating beside her face, and suddenly buried her face in Lu Minghao's body. Sally had also seen human villages that had been breached and slaughtered by monsters, and Sally even knew that many human adventurers had even experienced this kind of thing when they were young.

In this world, humans and monsters are absolute enemies. Even the Western Holy Kingdom of the Human Kingdom has always regarded the elimination of all monsters as its mission. The only difference between killing and being killed is who is stronger and who is weaker.

As for Sally, she is just a freak with half-ghost and half-human blood. Whether it is for humans or monsters, she is an existence that is not accepted by both sides. She only has one way to go.....

"Yes, all this is because they are too weak. Because of weakness, they are slaughtered by humans. If you want to control everything about yourself, you can only become stronger, and only the strong are qualified to bestow mercy on others."

Lu Minghao gently stroked Sally's head. The only truth in this world was already understood by Lu Minghao when he was born and struggled to survive in that sewer. In order to survive, in order to live well, Lu Minghao only has one way to become stronger.

Only by becoming an absolute powerhouse can Lu Minghao go to find trouble with the Eastern Empire. From beginning to end, Lu Minghao has never forgotten that he was hunted down by that guy from the Eastern Empire, and even had to drill into the underground water veins in order to escape.

"Okay, Sally, let's go, it's time to end all this."

In the next second, Lu Minghao looked at the monster village below that had been almost completely slaughtered. The reason why he is going to save them now is not because Lu Minghao sympathizes with those monsters, but just because they are still useful to Lu Minghao.

As for the monsters that died before, Lu Minghao doesn't need the weak. What he needs are useful tools, not like his kind, wanting to take care of those monsters so they can live well.

He never had that kind of naive idea.

"Okay, I got it."

Sally nodded her little head, patted her cheeks hard, and walked towards the village below, holding Lu Minghao in the air.

......

"Boss, what should we do with these monster cubs?"

In the center of the raging monster village, a burly man with a face covered in blood walked up to a man wearing a magic robe, grinning as he looked at the monster cubs in front of him who were still baring their teeth even though they were tied up.

"Take them all away. These are all cubs of intermediate monsters and can be sold for a good price."

The man in the mage robe looked at the three monster cubs in front of him expressionlessly. In his eyes, these were all money. Whether they were sold to nobles or the Adventurers Guild, they would be a good income. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left these three monster cubs alone.

"By the way, kill all the other captured monsters except for the goblin beauties, especially the parents of these cubs, kill them all, and then collect all the valuable materials."

"But.... Boss, these intermediate monsters can be sold to Lord Arnold for a lot of money."

The burly man carrying the knife hesitated for a few seconds after hearing what his boss said, and then looked at him tentatively. You must know that in the entire Yst Kingdom, no adventurer does not know that the top noble Arnold is collecting monsters, and those few intermediate monsters were specially left by them.

"Leave them? When those monsters recover a little, they will definitely resist. Do you want to die?"

The man in the mage robe looked at the burly man with cold eyes. Compared to the extra income from taking those intermediate monsters back, he would rather eliminate the possibility of future trouble. Besides, this time several adventurer teams are attacking this monster village together.

If they want to take away those intermediate monsters, there will definitely be disputes. It's better to just solve them and divide the materials... The most important thing is that this time, the Yst Kingdom's counterattack against the Edras Kingdom has many benefits.

Instead of taking those intermediate monsters back, he would rather take those monster cubs and continue to follow the Yst Kingdom's army to harvest similar monster villages.

"Understood."

After hearing his boss's explanation, the burly man carrying the knife just nodded and turned around, grinning as he walked towards the intermediate monsters.
