Goblin Village. In the village chief's tent.

"Please stop, this friend."

"Stop! You're welcome to come back again! ”

"No matter. Everybody follow me. ”

The goblin village chief's angry voice came one after another, followed by the sound of swords and swords and noisy shouts of attack.

At this time, Zheng Ming, who was pressed under Lucy, listened to the non-stop shouting outside the tent, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

It slapped Lucy's forearm and stepped out, looking down at the old goblin priest with a frown on his face.

"It looks like there's something going on outside. Don't you have to check it out? ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's question, the old goblin priest came back to his senses, "Unusual. The location of the village is secluded and safe, and it has not been attacked by a monster for a long time. As soon as these two outsiders came, there were demonic beasts attacking the village? Could it be related to them? The priority is to go out and solve the trouble. It's a good time to test their reactions. Thinking of this, he pressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, rubbed his frowning brows, smiled at Zheng Ming, and stood up.

"It's fine. That's what I mean. Are you two interested in going out and having a look? ”

"Ha~ not interested. Going to ......"

Zheng Ming hurriedly interrupted Lucy's impatient words, and after making a crazy look at it, he turned to the old goblin priest and said, "Ahahahaha." Lucy is really, how could we not be interested? Come on, come on, let's do it together. ”

When the old goblin priest heard that Zheng Ming wanted to come and take a look, his eyes rolled slightly, and a chrysanthemum-like smile suddenly appeared on his originally serious face.

"In that case, let's go together. If there is a strong enemy that we are unable to match, we will ask the two adults to help. ”

"Haha. No problem. Mere trifle. ”

Regarding the goblin old priest's request, Zheng Ming patted his chest with a proud face and agreed. However, the smile on its face became more and more strange.

Lucy looked at Zheng Ming, and then at the old goblin priest. I just don't think these two people with weird smiles are like good things.

So the three of them, each with a ghost, got up one after another and lifted the straw curtain at the door of the tent.

As the straw curtain at the door of the tent was lifted, the situation outside suddenly came into view. I saw goblin warriors wearing armor and holding weapons, under the command of the goblin village chief, surrounding a monster and besieging it.

The monster's translucent body was pale blue throughout, and was about two meters in diameter except for the part that touched the ground. It is a slime that is no different from Zheng Ming's image.

At this time, it was crawling in the direction of the village chief's tent in the face of the ensuing attacks. Since the chief's tent was located in the middle of the village, there was a straight road leading to the gate of the village, so it could be seen that the slime had broken through the blockade outside the village and traveled nearly half the way.

This slime clone was secretly separated by Zheng Ming on the way back. Zheng Ming's idea was simple. This doppelganger receives the fusion of the last doppelgangers to arrive, and then rushes to his side.

If those goblins don't think about it, it's all right. But if they are careful, they will definitely test when they see a slime clone that clearly looks like their own. And Zheng Ming also happened to take advantage of the high resistance characteristics of the slime clone to knock on the opposite side.

Even if the clone is easily killed, then Zheng Ming will find a way to find a chance to escape, and it will lose some clones at most. After all, it is safer to test the danger with a doppelganger than to test each other with the other party in person.

Originally, it had imagined that the clone would have arrived after asking the goblins about the surrounding area. Unexpectedly, due to the unexpectedly faster speed after the clone fused, and at the same time, he was led around the road in a big circle when he came, so the clone actually arrived with himself and the others.

"Hmm...... Plans can't keep up with the changes. But it doesn't seem to be good right now. Am I really a genius? ”

Zheng Ming was secretly proud in his heart, and seeing that his goal had almost been achieved, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't fight anymore~." ”

Just as Zheng Ming was about to stop the goblins from attacking, the old goblin priest next to him suddenly shouted loudly, and a hoarse roar like thunder suddenly overshadowed Zheng Ming's voice.

"Bold! How dare you break into my goblin village and wreak havoc. I'm going to make you pay today! ”

After speaking, the old priest of the goblin didn't even look at it, and Zheng Ming, who showed an anxious look behind him, strode forward.

Dots of fiery red light surrounded him, and he raised the skull staff made of animal bones in his hand and pointed at the slime clone not far away.

"Get out of the way. Scorch! ”

With a deafening roar, the fiery red light around the old goblin priest flowed into the skull staff, converging on the top of the skull, reflecting the pale skull in a blood-red color. A stream of magma-like flash of fire erupted and flew towards the direction of the slime's clone.

"Snort."

The mist rose and was hazy and unreal, and there was a creepy corrosive burning sound in it. Hearing the reminder of the Goblin High Priest, the Goblin Warriors who had avoided early felt the heat wave coming to their faces, and immediately looked at the Goblin High Priest respectfully.

The village chief on the side also walked to Zheng Ming and the others, quietly waiting for the fog to dissipate.

"Alas~ misunderstanding. That's my doppelganger. ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's sigh, the faces of the Goblin Village Chief and the High Priest changed, and their eyes showed a look of jealousy. After they glanced at each other, it was the grumpy village chief who spoke first, "What? It's actually an adult's doppelganger? Lord Slime. We can't be blamed for that. We shouted early, but it didn't communicate with us and forced its way into the village. We can't help it. ”

Goblin High Priest: "Shut up. How do you talk to adults? My lord, we're sorry for killing your doppelganger by mistake. ”

Zheng Ming didn't believe that the other party really didn't see the connection between the clone and himself. After all, it's exactly the same thing there. It looked at the goblin duo singing the reed in front of it, and smiled inexplicably. Although they still respected themselves as adults and were a little jealous of themselves, they could still see some changes in their tone and demeanor.

Realizing that these goblins in front of him are really not good men and women, if they don't beat hard and leave an indelible impression, the other party is likely to backfire on him, Zheng Ming sneered in his heart.

I saw it show a puzzled look on its face, and said to the two goblins, "Manslaughter? What are you talking about? I wouldn't be able to use this level of lava as a hot bath like I did, but my doppelganger wouldn't be weak enough to be killed, would it? ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's words, the two of them, who were still smiling faintly, turned around and looked in the direction where the slime clone was located.

A gust of wind blew through the smoke and dust, and the mist slowly dissipated, only to see the figure of a slime clone appear in an unusually smooth pit that had been burned.

Seeing that the slime clone was only slightly burned, he still maintained his mobility. At this point, they had even crawled out of the pit, and the Goblin Village Chief and the Old Priest exclaimed in disbelief.

"No, it can't be."

"Oh my God. How is this possible? ”

Looking at the goblin duo who were standing on the spot, Zheng Ming smiled proudly.

"It's done. Add another fire. ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Zheng Ming suddenly rushed towards the clone, and fused the slime clone into his body in the stunned eyes of all the goblins.

[Fire Attribute Resistance, Earth Attribute Resistance Increased.] 】

[Gain a talent of different attributes.] 】

[Physical Resistance Increased.] 】

【Speed Skill Enhancement】

With the sound of the system's prompt, Zheng Ming turned around and walked in front of the Goblin Village Chief and the Old Priest.

"Actually, it only rushed to my side for me to absorb, and it will not attack you. It won't fight back, but you're good at injuring my doppelganger. ”

Under the launch of "Majesty" and "Shock", the goblin who were stared at by Zheng Ming with a smile only felt that the voice of the slime in front of them was unusually majestic and grand. Even its small body grew infinitely tall in the eyes of the two.

Although Zheng Ming's words did not carry reproach, the two of them broke out in a cold sweat.

"Puff, puff."

The frightened two hurriedly knelt in front of the slime, bowing respectfully and begging for mercy.

Village Chief: "Slime-sama, you have a lot of ignorance to forgive villains. ”

Old Priest: "It's the villain who has no eyes." We are willing to compensate you for the attack on your doppelganger. ”

Zheng Ming: "Oops. Don't be so polite. Let's go back to the house first. ”

After speaking, without waiting for the reaction of the village chief and the old priest, he took the lead in leading Lucy to turn away.

On the way back, except for Lucy, who was the only one who vaguely guessed the truth by Zheng Ming, she came close and whispered with a look of contempt: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person." Sure enough, Fuyao is right, humans are the most treacherous and cunning of all races. ”

“？？？ Ha? Don't listen to Fuyao's nonsense. What does it mean to be treacherous and cunning? I call this a normal level of IQ. ”

Looking at Lucy and Zheng Ming, who were muttering in front of them, the goblin village chief and the old priest glanced at each other, and both showed bitter smiles, sighed lightly, and got up to follow...
