Chapter 2: Slime Plague
Lionheart City, as the largest human city under the Leon Clan, a strong tribe among the orcs, gathers all kinds of excellent human craftsmen and strong people of various races.
But at this time, the city streets, which used to be quite noisy, are empty and seem quite deserted.
As for the reason? Cruising in the streets and alleys, there is a lump of pale blue slimes. They are the main culprits behind this situation.
"Ahh Don't come here. Other. No. Oh~. ”
Another victim who walked out of the house was born, and when the slimes who surrounded him left satisfied, a strong man of the deer orcs with a honeyed face enjoying it kept sending out ecstatic "Ah~, oh~." The sound shook the indescribable and covered his face and ran away.
The strong man sweated like rain, and the protruding toned muscles on his body were shining in the sunlight, extremely greasy, and everywhere he passed, the sound of screaming and vomiting was endless.
"That coquettish deer orc has been more than once, hasn't it? This is obviously intentional, right? Is it because of this incident that he released the little beast in his heart and awakened any strange attributes? ”
As one of the initiators of this disaster, Archmage Merlin, who was unaware, was in the street tavern while pulling his ragged robes to block the looming important parts, while looking outside with emotion.
Lionheart City was paralyzed due to the sudden rampaging of the strange slime group, these little things are not difficult to deal with, although they retain the high resistance of the slime to physical attacks, but most of them have no resistance to energy attacks such as magic, and they are not invincible to the strong people of Lionheart City.
But no matter how strong you are, as long as you dare to wear clothes on the street, you are guaranteed to be instantly crushed by the explosion of slimes, and then become clean and slippery.
Before, Archmage Merlin set up a wall of fire around him, enveloping himself in the heat and flames, and did destroy a lot of slimes at first, but after a few hours, it became the current end, and he had to flee here in a panic.
However, his attempts were not in vain, as he proved that this creature is indeed an ocean of boundlessness, and even if you can destroy thousands of them, it won't be long before you will be surrounded by a newly split slime.
Luckily, their weaknesses were soon discovered, as they were able to corrode the fabric and remove the metal, but they had no way to deal with the material mixed with dirt and stones, and there was nothing they could do about living creatures.
The surviving dirt houses and the critters roaming around the streets are the best proof of this. As for why? It may be that Zheng Ming's reluctance to eat soil in his previous life became instinctive, who knows?
As a result, except for some powerful or perverted people who pushed stone carts around the streets and alleys of the city and sold all kinds of daily necessities, the city was completely paralyzed.
After three days of maintaining this state, and without finding an effective solution, the embarrassed and angry Archmage Merlin, together with the legendary warrior Ada, the city lord, mobilized the people of the city.
Countless warriors, mages, thieves, and even apprentices, civilians, walked out of the safety of their homes with tragic faces. Some of them wore cheap cloth clothes and stone masks, some were painted with thick glaze, and some were calm and undisguised.
They raised their staffs, blades, and other weapons to attack the surging slimes. Those who have eaten up their clothes retreat to the house to receive the weapons provided by the city lord, and those who have lost their strength go back to their rooms to rest, and then come out to replace others after recovering their strength.
The people of the whole city are honest with each other in the true sense of the word at this moment. They are tightly united, working towards the same goal of "eliminating slimes".
"Fireball"
This was a young man from the Terran Terran named Kevin, and with his loud shout, a fist-sized fireball rose from his palm and was thrown by him towards the half-meter-high slime that rushed towards him in front of him.
"Not good. There is another mutant monster with fire attribute resistance skin, and Seon is looking at you. ”
"Okay."
The orc warrior who originally despised or despised the human guy on the side no longer had the discrimination he had before, and after hearing Kevin's shout, he strode forward, and the two-handed heavy sword in his hand was like a door panel, and the flickering blade slashed towards the slime in front of him with a whistling sound.
"Poof, smack."
After two consecutive heavy blows, the round slime is split apart.
Seeing the slimes that were slowly squirming and about to gather, Seon shouted.
"Kevin, it's now."
"Fireball."
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, and a ball of fireball shot out, burning the scattered slimes that were about to gather into ashes.
"Well done."
"We succeeded."
Before the two of them could cheer and enjoy the joy of victory, a large number of slimes of different sizes rushed over.
"I'm running out of magic."
"I don't have the strength anymore."
"Then let's not struggle with it. Save your strength and wait until next time to come out and have a good time. ”
So the two of them stood calmly in place, facing the slimes that came like a wave. Seon even opened his arms.
Clusters of slimes climbed onto the two who had given up resistance, and through the slimes' translucent bodies, they could see that the cheap cloth on their bodies dissolved piece by piece until they disappeared, revealing their glazed bodies underneath.
After the clothes were corroded and cleaned, the two who fled in embarrassment in front and back did not show it for the time being. At the same time, on the other side of the city, a fully equipped and equipped adventure party was vigilantly watching the surroundings.
There were three men and one woman, all young adventurers. It is a standard four-person team consisting of a warrior, a mage, a hunter, and a priest.
Among them, the orc warrior is called Gray, the orc hunter is called Flowing Wind, the human mage is called Matt, the only woman, and the human priest is called Saiya.
They were originally inconspicuous, but now they are quite conspicuous among the crowd who are either naked or wearing cheap cloth clothes. The enchanted equipment on his body, which was not very expensive, also shiny under the backdrop of others.
It turned out that the four of them had been out to complete the commission before, and they had just entered the city. Still wondering why the city gate was surrounded by a group of slimes when it was unguarded.
At this time, the four people who had just eliminated the slime were still confused.
Glay: "What's going on?" Invaded by monsters? ”
Matt: "I don't know. Shall we ask somebody? ”
Liufeng: "Okay. When I meet someone later, let Saiya ask for it. Regardless of occupation or gender, her affinity is higher. ”
Saiah: "Me again?" Alas~, well. Who made me a beauty? ”
Glay: "... ”
Liufeng: "You're thin like that, with unsightly blonde hair, and you're covered in snow-white. Except for hair, not even a hair. Dare to call yourself a beauty? ”
Matt: "... ”
Saiyan: "... ”
So the four of them, who didn't know the horror of the slime, wandered around the city blocks with a big grin.
