Chapter Seventy-Two

"Got you!"

Before the slum siblings could turn their heads when they heard the sound, they were stopped by the owner who made this soft cry and hurriedly retreated to the garbage-strewn street behind.

The female ranger who is a member of the C-class adventurer team [Monster Hunting] quickly distances herself from the house with two arms holding a child in each of her arms.

As she retreated, she lit the cloth bag that was already attached to the lead in her hand, and threw it into the crack of the door.

Rumble!

Explosions rang out.

Not far away, Yanni, who was already ready to cast a spell, and another apprentice magician in the [Monster Hunting] team, after seeing their companions bring the slum brother and sister to a safe location, began to team up to cast an enhanced version of the ice spell that could cover the entire building.

This kind of magic, which can quickly reduce the temperature in the area of coverage, can make it impossible for slimes that have no fixed form to transform smoothly for the time being.

To be on the safe side, Carl and Uncle Vonte covered their mouths and noses with a wet cloth when the effects of the Freeze Spell were at their peak, risking frostbite and rushing into the casting range.

But in a hurry, they forgot about the situation on the ground at this moment—

Carl and Font, who had barely taken a few steps within the range of the Frozen Spell, slipped on their feet one after another, lost their center of gravity and slipped forward for a long distance with their butts in embarrassment.

Shi Junjun, who witnessed the whole process on the roof next to him, looked at the two adventurers who were busy on the ice, and couldn't help but laugh at the same time, he used the alien detection magic again to sweep the entire building.

The girl's face changed.

"That slime is running away!"

She shouted to the two men who were still falling on the ice, getting up and falling.

The bearded Uncle Vonte, who was once again propped up, was one step ahead of Karl and finally stumbled across the ice, but the wooden door that had opened a gap had closed a few seconds earlier.

Wundt took two steps back, then slammed his foot on the wooden door.

And the seemingly weak door tightly produced a limited deformation, but the person who kicked the door was forced to stagger back by the force that reacted on him.

Considering that the spear could not be used in a small space, Karl, who had temporarily replaced his weapon with a short sword, tried to cut through the connection between the door and the wall.

But the attempt soon failed.

The door of this slum-poor hut is as strong as the door of a merchant's vault.

Karl and the two, who still wanted to try to continue to break the goal with brute force, soon heard Shi Junjun's voice.

"The roofing material is still plain thatch! Don't go through the main door! ”

When Carl and Font finally climb up with great difficulty, break the roof and jump into the building, they can still find the slime killer.

The unwilling adventurers quickly rummaged through every corner of the house, and soon found the escape passage of the slime killer at the foot of the bed.

But the adventurers who saw the hole the size of a bowl were a little laughing and crying, and even the more muscular adult males could hardly reach into it with their arms, let alone the slimes who wanted to catch up with the fleeing slimes along this road.

"I'll be able to use Xenoprobe again today." The girl who opened her mouth looked slightly pale, "It shouldn't have run far yet......"

Although she was able to successfully cast xenoprobing magic after a few minutes of study, due to her proficiency and the large area required by the magic, she had probably only been able to cast this magic more than three times a day so far, and the damage to her body would be quite great if she had overdrawn the magic and mental power she had exerted.

"One xenomorph detection can only find out the approximate direction of its escape, and it takes at least two xenomorph detections to get to the exact location."

Uncle Feng Te, who was not good-looking, replied with a wry smile:

"We still have two more days, don't overdraw all your physical and mental strength today, we will have a chance to ...... in the next two days"

Having said that, as an experienced C-class adventurer, Font knew that the Slime Slayer after today's failed raid would definitely be on their toes in the next few days, so that their chances of success would be greatly reduced.

In the end, it is not a whole team of adventurers who get along day and night, and the flaws in the on-the-spot cooperation are still ......

After Shi Junjun mastered the xeno-detection magic to cover the entire slum of Reberion, they made a plan for this raid overnight after learning the approximate location of the slime killer.

First, with the extremely stimulating taste and explosive cloth bag provided by Shi Junjun, after interfering with the slime's perception, and letting two apprentice magicians, including Yanni, cover their hiding place with ice sealing to restrict the opponent's movement, and then Karl and Wundt, who have the best hand-to-hand combat ability in the temporary team, will carry out the entry and capture link, and the rest of the adventurers will take on the task of guarding the surroundings during this period to prevent the support of the members of the underground forces.

Now it seems that there are obviously too many problems with the hastily formulated plan, they didn't take into account the impact of the ice spell on the speed of their approaching target house, and they didn't expect the other party to actually strengthen the door to that extent, and if Shi Junjun reminded him and Carl that they would fight the broken door for a longer time......

As the captain of [Monster Hunting], Vonte has always felt quite guilty when he thinks that this raid failed largely because of his own mistakes.

But in any case it is not the time to feel sorry for themselves, and now that they have made such a big move in the slums, they must withdraw before the underground forces arrive in large numbers.

"Let's get out of here as soon as possible, we can't cause unnecessary conflicts between the adventurer's guild and the underground forces."

"Wundt, do you want to ask these two slum kids? Maybe they know something......"

Just as Uncle Font was about to beckon everyone to leave, the female ranger in the monster hunting team pulled two slum children to the adventurers.

The younger sister, who had already guessed the identities of the people in front of her from her outfit and speech, opened her eyes wide.

These majestic-looking adventurers are the heroes worshipped by the vast majority of slum children.

For her, who is only ten years old, in the bedtime stories told by her deceased mother, the adventurers who defeat all kinds of evil monsters to protect ordinary people like them are the people she has tried to become all her life.

Although the vast majority of slum children like them do not live to be 20 years old...... But that doesn't stop them from having their own people in their hearts.

Her brother, who was a few years older than her, was more mature in mind, and he was instantly controlled by the female ranger and had no power to resist, and he clearly realized that these people in front of him were definitely not something that he and his sister could resist.
