It was a tennis ball-sized thing, rising out of a pool of muddy water, like an ancient giant tortoise struggling to break free from the mud.

In the eyes of the ants, this scene is tantamount to a small mountain bag suddenly rising, and it is very shocking to witness it up close.

The position of the bulge is less than a decimeter away from the protagonist and the trapped Praetorian Guard, and as soon as the mud mountain rises, it moves slowly in this direction, apparently a living thing.

The protagonist takes a closer look and understands that this is not some supernatural phenomenon, nor is it a fantasy monster like the earth element, but a bug.

Under the camouflage of a layer of silt, the insect could not see its true face, but its identity was revealed by a pair of unconcealed columnar eyes that protruded beyond the silt, and a pair of antennae that also emerged.

Although the columnar eyes and antennae are also covered with a thin layer of mud, the shape of the snail can be clearly seen, and the mud monster does not appear to have a snail-shaped carapace on its back. In this way, the identity of the creature is revealed—it is a slug.

Slug is a general term for the slugs of the gastropod stalk-eye order, also known as the scorpus (not the slug) or slug, which is a mollusk that forms a pulmonoid with some snails. It looks like a shellless snail, with a moist mucus on its surface, like a puddle of sticky snot.

The protagonist has the impression that the slugs are vegetarian. In fact, slugs are indeed mild, mainly eating all kinds of plants, fungi and their fruits, etc., and only some agricultural operators will have a headache with this small insect.

But the huge slug in front of him was obviously not a good person, and crawled straight in the direction of the trapped and struggling Praetorian Guard, if it was said that it was just a harmless to watch the fun, then no one would believe it.

As its body leaves the mud and onto dry ground, it leaves a trail of mud and slime in the path it crawls on—the slime that looks like the mucus that traps the ants.

The protagonist's heart moved, this slug wouldn't just rely on slime to trap its prey, hide it and wait for the opportunity to kill it!

In this world, there are ants that defy the sky, such as the Destroyer, and it is not surprising that slugs have evolved this ability.

As a precaution, the protagonist immediately gives a command with a fliative sound and scent, and the god causes the king's warriors to leave their trapped companions behind, stand on alert, and warn them with their body gestures.

After confirming that the slugs were still ignoring the ants' warnings, the Praetorian Guards were ordered to attack.

Now I can only fight this strange slug away, and then think about saving my companions.

The slugs didn't pay any attention to the twenty Divine Envoy King warriors who were surrounded by the battle formation on both sides, and still moved unhurriedly towards the trapped ants.

Anyway, in its simple mind, the more it struggles, the more it can't get out, and it will stick to its whole body and can't move, just so that it can be swallowed by itself.

The Praetorian Guards on either side were quickly in place, they were the most elite fighters in the army, and they were also well armed.

The sharp copper jaw knife that fits perfectly to the big jaw quickly bites under the traction of the muscles, stabbing at the slugs that don't even pay attention to the progress that still advances.

These jaws are so sharp that almost all insects' carapaces will be pierced, except for some beetles that can be resisted by their shells. Even against Beetles and Destroyers, the Messenger King Warrior can deal damage by attacking weaknesses such as carapace crevices.

But this attack by many Praetorian Guards turned out to be ineffective... The protagonist discovers that no matter how the Praetorian Guards crawling on the slugs attack, the slugs move unhurriedly as if they were not there.

The protagonist doesn't understand, but the ants on the slug know that he didn't bite the target at all.

The slugs had been hiding in the mire for a long time, and their bodies were covered with a thick layer of sticky mud, like armor to protect their soft flesh.

The Praetorian Guard's bite attacks stabbed into the mud every time, and the length of their weapons was not long enough to hit the main body.

Seeing that the Praetorian Guard's attack is ineffective, the protagonist decides to come on his own. He looked around for a branch or a rock to use as a weapon. Bibi eBook

But there are no rocks here, and the branches are far away, and the protagonist is speechless for a while and picks up a "long stick".

It is said to be a long stick, but it is actually the petiole part of the fallen leaves, which has traces of corrosion, but it still maintains its shape, but it is light and fluttery, and it is not as good as a strong stick.

The mud slug has come to a very close position, and the protagonist can't care so much, and he doesn't have time to quickly enter the state of "God descends to earth", anyway, he has a lot of strength in his usual state.

The protagonist picks up the stick and slashes it at the slug.

Under the protagonist's blow, the slug's body covered in mud is deformed like a jelly force.

But the protagonist is too big, this stick is completely unable to transmit all the strength to the target, and the light weight and soft and easily deformable characteristics make this blow twice as effective.

While the slug's thick mud protective layer and soft flesh further cushioned the damage, the slug was not seriously harmed.

Even so, the slug's simple nervous system senses pain, which is rare among all its prey and can cause it pain.

The mud slugs fought back based on instinct.

Beneath the clump of mud, a hole suddenly cracked, revealing the pink color inside.

It was the mouth of a slug, and then suddenly a stream of transparent liquid spewed out in a fan-like manner.

The protagonist's heart tightens, and he sees the transparent liquid spraying towards him, and he doesn't think it's a good thing.

He kicked his back limbs, flew two decimeters in the air, and unfortunately landed in a pool of sewage, leaving him dirty.

The protagonist wipes a handful of compound eyes and pores, and he doesn't care about getting dirty.

He looked back at where he had just been, and the Immortal and the other two ants couldn't dodge, and were doused with a transparent liquid, and their bodies were stuck to the ground.

It was slime, but it didn't seem to be toxic or corrosive, and the immortals were just trapped, and there was no danger for the time being.

It's only not dangerous for the time being, the mud slugs are approaching them, their gaping mouths not closed, and they seem to be able to continue squirting mucus at any time, and some of the liquid is already dripping down their mouths, and I don't know if it's mucus or salivation.

The protagonist has never seen such a strange slug, carnivorous, hunting, smucus that entangles people, and is extremely defensive.

He needs a weapon to deal damage to this slug.

But at this moment, he only had an obsidian knife in his hand, which was also modified from the jaw knife, and its length was limited, and it could not break through the mud layer on the slug's body.

And there are no suitable stones and branches nearby, and the protagonist can't find a suitable weapon.

The protagonist looks around and suddenly sees something, a memory from his childhood in the previous life comes to mind, and he immediately has an idea!

- I'm the dividing line -

Let's guess how the protagonist defeats the mud slug
