Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

In the damp, dark sewer, a slime was fleeing rapidly forward, completely disregarding the commotion it caused, which attracted a large number of monsters living in the sewer. It was as if some terrifying creature was chasing it from the dark and gloomy passage behind.

"Tch! I knew that damn place was definitely not right. Luckily, I ran fast!"

On the moss-covered stone slabs, Lu Minghao was leaping several meters forward, fleeing rapidly. Ever since he left the deepest part of the sewer, the unease in Lu Minghao's heart had become increasingly obvious. Out of caution, Lu Minghao didn't bother hiding himself and directly began to sprint with all his strength.

Although running while submerged in the shadows was indeed safer, the speed was completely incomparable to the current speed. Moreover, moving quickly while submerged in the shadows would quickly deplete Lu Minghao's current amount of magic essence. When the magic essence was completely exhausted, he would have no ability to resist at all.

"Speaking of which, what the hell is chasing me? I've already escaped so far, yet it can still accurately locate my direction?"

Half an hour later, in a dried-up riverbed in the sewer, on top of an unknown pile of garbage, Lu Minghao looked solemnly at the dark and bottomless passage behind him. You must know that with Lu Minghao's current body strength at the peak of a lower-level monster, half an hour was enough for it to escape nearly a hundred kilometers away.

Moreover, in order to prevent being caught, Lu Minghao had always chosen difficult places to travel. Things like holes only ten centimeters in size, rivers full of filth and excrement, and even crawling through a sewer filled with garbage. In short, in order to escape, Lu Minghao had completely disregarded everything else, but the sense of threat from behind had not weakened in the slightest. Lu Minghao even instinctively felt that the thing chasing him was constantly approaching.

During this time, Lu Minghao had also considered escaping from the sewer and directly running out of the city limits. At that time, with the vastness of the world, he wanted to see how the other party would find him.

However, this idea was abandoned by Lu Minghao in less than a second. After all, in such a complex environment as the sewer, the other party could closely follow behind him. If he left the sewer, wouldn't he be caught before he had run far?

"No, I can't continue like this. The other party can closely follow behind me without me leaving any traces and with the complex situation of the sewer, and is even getting closer and closer. Then the other party's strength must be stronger than me, at least a peak middle-level monster."

Lu Minghao silently turned around and continued to flee forward, but this time he no longer ran around randomly but carefully observed the surrounding situation. Although he had not yet determined what was chasing him, it was definitely those guys behind the scenes who created the entire giant rat kingdom.

Moreover, the other party must also have some kind of ability to lock onto his position. That is to say, if Lu Minghao wanted to escape successfully, he must find a place that only slimes could enter, rely on the terrain to temporarily block the guy chasing him, and then take advantage of that time to escape far enough, far enough that the other party could not lock on to him.

Whoosh!

Just as Lu Minghao was carefully observing the surrounding environment, he suddenly felt the air behind him begin to vibrate. The magic essence in his body circulated frantically, and his body instantly sank into the shadows beneath him. Just as Lu Minghao completely sank into the shadows, a tentacle covered in suckers slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Huh? It actually dodged?"

A slightly surprised voice came from the dark passage in the distance. Originally, in Number Four's view, his attack was completely enough to knock down that slime, and with that slime's speed, it was impossible to avoid his attack.

"How the hell did even a tentacle monster come out?"

In the shadows not far away, Lu Minghao emerged from the shadows with a gloomy expression, looking at the tentacle that had smashed cracks in the ground. The next second, the tentacle retracted back into the darkness. Seeing this, Lu Minghao didn't bother about the consumption of magic essence and directly sank into the shadows, fleeing this place at full speed.

Just now, if he hadn't instinctively felt the air vibrating and his body had dodged on its own, Lu Minghao would have already been caught by the other party. Once caught, Lu Minghao didn't think he would have any chance of escaping, after all, those suckers on the other party's tentacles were definitely not just for show.

"Slime, obediently let me catch you! With the power bestowed by Lord Charles, you have no hope of escaping at all!"

In the shadows, Lu Minghao heard the voice from behind, and his speed not only didn't slow down but instead accelerated. Gluttony also seemed to have sensed Lu Minghao's intention and began to frantically digest and absorb the food that Lu Minghao had previously devoured. With the supply of a large amount of nutrients, the magic essence in Lu Minghao's body not only didn't decrease but instead became more and more abundant.

Moreover, the originally mist-like magic essence in Lu Minghao's body began to become thick bit by bit, and his body was also constantly evolving under the enhancement of the magic essence. However, Lu Minghao, who was now focused on escaping, couldn't notice these things at all, but relied on the slime's ability to sense air vibrations to find a passage that he could successfully escape from.

"Hmm? What is this feeling?"

Suddenly, Lu Minghao felt a strange fluctuation in the air. His body, which was originally submerged in the shadows, also emerged halfway. The surrounding environment had become increasingly dim, and the air also carried a trace of dampness. The originally foul-smelling sewer also carried a trace of fresh air. Most importantly, Lu Minghao heard the sound of flowing water.

"Underground Water Vein!"

Listening to the sound of rushing water coming from the distance, Lu Minghao jumped out of the shadows with his entire body and rushed towards the direction the sound was coming from. Being able to make the water flow turbulent in the depths of the underground, Lu Minghao couldn't think of any other existence besides the underground water vein.

And Number Four, who was chasing behind, also seemed to feel something was wrong, and tentacles began to frantically attack Lu Minghao.

However, because Number Four was still nearly a thousand meters away from Lu Minghao at this time, the length of the tentacles was only able to touch Lu Minghao, and the attack speed and reaction speed would be affected to a small extent.

Suddenly, Lu Minghao, who was rushing forward, saw a vortex one meter in diameter in the center of the sewer river not far away. A steady stream of sewage was flowing from this vortex into an unknown place.

That was exactly the entrance to the underground water vein that Lu Minghao was looking for. As long as he escaped into there, Lu Minghao was confident that he could escape successfully. After all, slimes are species that don't need to breathe. Lu Minghao didn't believe that the guy chasing him was the same, and looking at the appearance of that vortex, he knew that the entrance wouldn't be too big.

Pa!

Just as Lu Minghao saw the vortex leading to the underground water vein, a tentacle suddenly appeared behind him and directly hit Lu Minghao's body. In an instant, something exploded behind Lu Minghao's body, and he was directly smashed away. The originally round body was also missing a piece.

However, relying on this thrust, Lu Minghao successfully fell into the vortex and was sucked in in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the river.

"Damn it! I didn't expect this slime to have this ability. It actually escaped. How am I going to explain to Lord Charles when I get back!"
