Chapter 21: Those Who Don't Know

"The crew members are dead. The words of the local tyrant did not contain any emotion.

"What...... Isn't it agreed that we can't kill people indiscriminately?" the big monster shouted emotionally beside him.

"Hmph, I really want to kill people, but unfortunately, this guy in my hand took the lead. After speaking, the local tyrant handed the crystal ball in his hand to a few yuan.

"You just said that you caught it on the Black Swan, but Qi Qi didn't sense the breath of the slime when we were on the Black Swan?" Qi Ling asked while hugging Qi Qi tightly, although the slime was restrained by the crystal ball and no breath emanated, but the writhing figure there still made Qi Qi who was hugged tremble with excitement.

The local tyrant withdrew his arm, waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the room first." Then he walked back to the room he had rented in the Adventurer's Guild.

The three of them followed the local tyrant all the way into the pre-booked room, and when Qi Ling, who came in at the end, closed the door, the local tyrant gently placed the crystal ball on the table in the center of the room.

Fearing that Qi Qi would suddenly stir up the situation, Qi Ling cast a sleep spell on his pet before releasing the slime, and placed it on the bed next to him.

"If you want to know what's going on, just ask it. The local tyrant stretched out his hand and lightly tapped it on the surface of the crystal ball a few times, only to see that the surrounding magic energy quickly converged on it, and one by one mysterious symbols suddenly lit up, and the entire originally transparent crystal ball now emitted dazzling light.

"Come out. The local tyrant raised his right hand and whispered softly.

A distorted light and shadow appeared on the crystal ball, and as the light faded, a transparent "jelly" appeared in front of the four of them.

Right now, the slime suspended in the air was surrounded by several light blue circles of light, which were the binding magic that had not yet been released.

"Grunt, grunt".

"Don't pretend to be asleep, we're going to ask you a few questions now. The local tyrant's indifferent tone sounded like he was a heinous demon king.

"Gollum, Gollum, do you want to know how to write?" This slime spoke the same non-standard Kamila lingua franca as other slimes, but when he heard its words, the eyes of the four people next to him lit up.

"How did you get to the ship?" Qi Ling was the first to ask.

"Gollum, which ship are you talking about?" replied the slime.

This answer made Qi Ling stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something, and then asked, "I know, you must be the slime that fought me on the Sinking Ship, right?"

"What?"

"Fighting?"

Superman and the big monster couldn't hear each other clearly.

"Ah, so you don't know, although I don't remember it myself, I vaguely remember that I was fighting with a slime before the ship sank......," Qi Ling said slowly.

"Gollum, I wonder if Ni misunderstood something, it wasn't me who was fighting with you at the time. Slime's words were not as Qi Ling had imagined.

"Say it clearly!" The local tyrant on the side also wanted to know what was going on, so he threatened urgently.

"Gollum, please be excited, that's right, I'm acting with a few other slimes, we gave a few buckets of gold coins for the captain to take us back to the Kamila continent, according to the original plan, my friends will temporarily merge together to greatly improve their strength, and then kill the people on the ship one by one in the process of sailing, and I have been hiding in a poke containing gold coins as a backup killer......" The slime's words made the four of them tingle when they listened, and if there had been no accident at the time, they might have been wrapped in a wriggling slime one night......

"And how did you get to the other ship?" asked Superman.

The slime was uncomfortable being bound by magic in the air, only to see it twist its body and continue: "Gollum, I don't know, I got out of the barrel and found that I was already in the sea, I swam aimlessly, and when I squeezed into the stairwell through a small gap, I saw the captain's body soaked in the water, so I ......"

"Click" a crack opened in the table top that Superman was holding with his hands.

"Ahem, you go on. The tyrant waved his hand and motioned for the slime to continue.

"Gollum, not long after I was full, I saw a lot of runes appear out of thin air around me, and with the feeling of being pulled by someone, I changed into a glass jar in a blink of an eye. The slime recounted what happened next.

The four people listening to the side were silent for a moment, they still had a lot of questions in their hearts that they had not yet clarified.

"It seems that the battle on the boat behind made the jar that held you loose, and the anti-slime didn't sense that you should have some kind of magic in that room to cover your breath, and then you should have corroded the hatch and escaped when the ship stopped, right?" The local tyrant also put forward the guess in his heart.

"Hmph, then according to what you said, this guy has eaten a lot of people, if you want me to kill it now!"

The big monster on the side didn't ask any questions, and when he saw that Little Superman was about to make a move, he hurriedly stopped: "Wait, I still have some questions to ......"

"Bang-"

"Who?" the local tyrant sensed a trace of magic energy fluctuations, so he immediately turned around and went on guard, only to see a few rays of light coming towards him.

The three people next to them also reacted quickly, and they all raised their hands and prepared to cast their magic to face the next enemy attack.

Flying towards them were a few small fireballs, although they didn't seem to have much power, but these people didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Hum-" Before the fireball could hit them, the tyrant had released a shield of light in front of them.

At the source of the fireball's advance was another slime, and this slime saw that the few people in front of it reacted so quickly, and it also acted quickly.

"Poof, poof, poof", the fireball hit the light shield and stirred up several flame vortices, under the cover of the firelight, the slime moved quickly, and Qi Ling behind the light shield used the flame that had not yet dissipated to turn into a big purple hand, making a gesture to pounce on the figure that was fleeing quickly, and the little superman behind him picked up a table knife on the table and threw it towards the direction of the moving figure.

The local tyrant still held the light shield to preside over the defense, and he deflected the angle of the light shield to make it easier for the partner behind him to attack, and at the same time, the magic energy in his body was also quickly gathering to prepare to release magic to attack next.

"Puff, puff".

The slime jumped up quickly, slammed into the wall and quickly catapulted around the room, which caused Superman's attack to miss directly, and the big monster who had been nervously watching the situation reached out and grabbed the big sword behind her, she aimed at the jumping figure in the air and prepared to deliver a powerful blow.
