Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Whish! Bang!

In the pitch-black environment, the swift current surged towards an unknown place. Lu Minghao's small body was like a rootless duckweed, being carried forward. From time to time, he was swept into the undercurrents of the water, flowing towards an unknown place.

"We will meet again."

In the dark depths of the water, Lu Minghao's tightly closed eyes slowly opened. A terrifying smile appeared on his liquid-like body. Previously, when he realized he was about to be hit, Lu Minghao instantly condensed a layer of shadow barrier on his back.

However, Lu Minghao knew this was not enough, because this layer of shadow barrier was no different from paper to the guy chasing him. And once hit, the sucker on the tentacles would definitely take the opportunity to grab his body firmly.

To this end, Lu Minghao used the shadow barrier to block the tentacles for a short moment, splitting off a part of his body, successfully dodging the attack of the tentacles, and taking advantage of the thrust to escape into the underground water vein.

However, given Lu Minghao's vengeful nature, how could he escape so easily? Relying on the 'asexual reproduction' ability of the slime itself, the body that Lu Minghao split out formed a small slime.

However, I don't know if it was because he became a lower demon or because of his own talent. The part of the body that Lu Minghao split out could not only be used to reproduce the next generation, but also as his temporary clone. However, in this way, the split part of the body would lose the potential to become a brand new slime.

Of course, Lu Minghao didn't care about this. After successfully entering the underground water vein, he transferred his consciousness without hesitation and hid in the dark to observe the guy who was chasing him. Only then did he realize that it was the demon army of the Eastern Empire that was secretly targeting him.

"Then, see you later, my enemies, please look forward to the time when we meet again!"

In the turbulent current, Lu Minghao felt the increasingly massive magic power in his body. During the previous desperate escape, the large amount of giant rats swallowed by Lu Minghao had been almost completely digested by gluttony. With a large supply of nutrients, Lu Minghao finally began a new stage of advancement.

"However, I must be more cautious in the future."

As the advancement began, waves of sleepiness began to engulf Lu Minghao's consciousness like a tide. In the last second of sleep, Lu Minghao made up his mind that before he had enough strength, if he encountered a strange situation like the Giant Rat Kingdom again, he would run as far as possible.

Whish! Bang!

The endless stream of water continued to rush forward, and countless tributaries converged into a huge underground water network. Lu Minghao, who had fallen into a deep sleep, moved forward with the water, crossing one fork after another, flowing into a new tributary.

From time to time, he was swept by the undercurrents of the water and entered a new tributary. In the dark depths of the water, Lu Minghao's body emitted a faint light, and a large amount of magic power began to converge towards his body, bringing a faint glimmer of light to the dark underground water vein.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a large fish several meters long was attracted by the faint light. The ferocious and terrifying fish head and strong body were wrapped in a layer of exoskeleton. If an adventurer were here, they would easily recognize that this was a middle-ranked demon called the Devil Fish, which lived in the dark and cold waters all year round and had the ability to control water flow and ice.

The huge Devil Fish easily swam to Lu Minghao's body, looking at this slime whose entire body was wrapped in magic power.

The next second, the big mouth full of serrated fangs opened and swallowed the slime in front of him in one gulp, and then swam forward along the current with a hint of satisfaction.

Lu Minghao, who was eaten by the Devil Fish, followed the Devil Fish's esophagus all the way to its stomach. The moment Lu Minghao's body fell into the Devil Fish's stomach, a large amount of gastric acid began to be generated in the stomach, trying to dissolve this new food completely.

Lu Minghao's sleeping body seemed to instinctively sense the danger. Gluttony began to frantically absorb the remaining food in Lu Minghao's body and turned it into nutrients to supply the body. The moment Lu Minghao's body touched those gastric acids, a new resistance began to appear, allowing the body to quickly adapt to its current environment.

As a price, Lu Minghao's already limited nutrients after evolving into a mid-level demon began to be consumed rapidly, almost completely consumed in more than ten seconds. By then, with Lu Minghao's newly born resistance, he would definitely be digested by the continuous gastric acid.

Pa!

Suddenly, something fell into the Devil Fish's stomach. A fish corpse torn in half fell not far from Lu Minghao's body. Under the instinctual trend, Lu Minghao's body directly swallowed it, and with the supply of new food, gluttony began to digest it continuously. A strange force also began to erode the Devil Fish's body with Lu Minghao's body as the center.

Outside, the Devil Fish, which was several meters long, had just finished a meal, but strangely, it did not feel any sense of fullness as it used to. Even after eating a lot of food, its body was still very hungry.

'What's going on?'

The Devil Fish smacked its lips twice. It always felt that something was wrong. Although the wisdom of middle-ranked demons was no weaker than that of humans, it had always lived alone in the underground water veins and relied on instinct to act most of the time. It completely couldn't understand why it was still hungry after eating so much food.

The next second, the Devil Fish, which couldn't figure it out, chose to follow its instinctual needs and began to look for food again. Its idea was very simple: since it was hungry, it would just eat again.

....

....

A day later, the Devil Fish, which had preyed on a large amount of food, felt increasingly hungry, frantically hunting down everything it could see in front of it. Even the originally sharp teeth had become somewhat dull from a lot of tearing, but the hunger in its body still drove it to find new food.

'Why, why, why can't I get enough to eat?!'

The Devil Fish's ferocious mouth frantically tore at the prey in front of it. Its scarlet pupils were full of hunger and madness. Even though it clearly felt that a large amount of food was being eaten into its body, its stomach was like a bottomless pit, and no amount of food could satisfy it.

The endless hunger drove it to get more and more food.

"More, I want more food!"

The next second, the Devil Fish's scarlet eyes looked at an underground water vein in the distance. It remembered that there was a lot of food at the end of that water vein. As long as it got there, it would definitely be able to eat its fill.

Whoosh!

The powerful fishtail swung hard, and the Devil Fish's body rushed into the underground water vein like a sharp sword. Everything that could be eaten along the way was mercilessly killed and swallowed by the Devil Fish, and the clear water was gradually stained red by a large amount of blood.
