Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

In front of a bottomless pit fifty meters in diameter, several humans dressed as adventurers cautiously peered downwards. Just minutes before, while they were carrying out a mission not far away, they had suddenly heard a tremendous roar, followed by a beam of tri-colored light shooting into the sky.

Out of curiosity, the adventurers had rushed towards the commotion, and soon spotted the large pit from afar, surrounded by the complete ruins of a destroyed village.

"Captain, what do you think that was earlier?"

A blue-haired youth turned to their captain, a curious expression on their face. He was the first to notice the commotion and suggest they investigate.

"Don't know."

The mature-looking man glanced at his teammate, pondered for a few seconds, then shrugged, shaking his head. He was just the captain of a low-level adventurer team. They had accepted the Yst Kingdom's war mission because they knew that the Yst Kingdom had defeated the Edras Kingdom's main force some time ago.

Currently, the Yst Kingdom's main army had already begun its counterattack against the Edras Kingdom, and in just one week, a large portion of the Edras Kingdom's territory had been occupied by the Yst Kingdom.

Low-level adventurer teams like theirs would choose to accept the Yst Kingdom's recently issued clearing and reconnaissance missions, responsible only for clearing out low-level magical beasts that had been missed within the occupied territories. The powerful magical beasts had either died on the battlefield or had already retreated.

Therefore, this mission could be considered very safe, just a bit tiring.

Because of this, the quality of adventurer teams accepting these missions was generally not high. Many civilians, tempted by the high rewards, chose to become adventurers. Moreover, they hadn't encountered any danger recently, causing their vigilance to drop to its lowest point; otherwise, they wouldn't have come to watch after seeing the earlier activity of the magic cannon.

For example, this adventurer team that had come to watch was comprised of four people who had temporarily registered as adventurers for the reward, in addition to the captain, who had some degree of strength.

"Huh? Captain, what's that!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man pointed and shouted towards the entrance of the cave. A red dot was rapidly growing larger. In the blink of an eye, the red dot had magnified several times, and they finally saw clearly that it wasn't a red dot at all, but a girl wearing a blood-red dress.

"That's a demon horn... It's a demon! Captain, quick..."

The middle-aged man's expression instantly turned tense when he saw the pair of small, adorable demon horns on Sally's head. He knew that demons were high-level magical beasts, and they couldn't possibly deal with them.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

However, the middle-aged man screamed in terror as he looked up at his captain. A horrifying, bloody scene greeted him: the captain, who had just been leaning over the hole, had his upper body completely gone.

The remaining half of his body lay on the edge of the cave, warm blood mixed with internal organs flowing out continuously, his legs still twitching.

"Huh? Did I hit something?"

In mid-air, Sally wiped the blood from her face and casually tore off a hand stuck to her head, stuffing it into Lu Minghao's body. Just as Sally was getting excited about her own power, she suddenly felt a heat on her face, and a piece of an arm was stuck to her demon horns.

"Probably those humans down there."

Saying that, Sally looked down at the few humans who were staring up at her in terror, and her body moved, falling downwards.

Thud!

The next second, Sally's body crashed like a cannonball in front of the few human adventurers, a gentle smile on her face. However, in the eyes of the human adventurers, Sally was so terrifying at this moment, wearing a bright red, blood-stained dress, a terrifying smile on her blood-covered face, walking towards them step by step.

"No... Don't eat me!"

"Help!"

"I don't want to die!"

Watching Sally getting closer and closer, the human adventurers screamed, scrambling and crawling away from her. Seeing the screaming and fleeing human adventurers, Sally was stunned, and the smile on her small face became aggrieved.

"Minghao, is Sally very scary?"

"No, my Sally is the cutest. They just don't know how to appreciate her."

As she spoke, Sally's shadow began to twist rapidly, turning into chains like long snakes that shot out, instantly catching up with the fleeing men and dragging them back.

"Humans, I ask, you answer, understand?"

The humans who had just been dragged back by the chains, looking at Sally and Lu Minghao so close, instinctively wanted to scream in fear, but they heard Lu Minghao's indifferent voice, and the terrifying pressure made them unable to make any sound.

"Why are you here? If I'm not mistaken, you're just ordinary civilians?"

Seeing the humans trembling and nodding, Lu Minghao retracted his pressure. He had known how to do this before, simply releasing the magic element, but it could only scare those weaker than him and was useless against equals.

"This... this demon lord, it's like this..."

A middle-aged man lay in front of Sally, looking at Lu Minghao in her arms, and began to tell everything he knew, including the previous defeat of the Edras Kingdom by the Yst Kingdom, causing it to lose a top-tier combat force and a million magical beasts, as well as the recent counterattack of the Yst Kingdom against the Edras Kingdom.

"So, the main force of the Yst Kingdom is currently attacking the Edras Kingdom on a large scale? There aren't many top-tier combat forces in the country?"

After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lu Minghao's round body moved, and he quickly continued to ask, he hadn't forgotten the other major goal of bringing Sally to the Yst Kingdom.

"This... that... probably."

Faced with Lu Minghao's question, the middle-aged man showed a hint of hesitation and unease on his face. After stammering a reply, he lowered his head and dared not look at Lu Minghao again. After all, he was just a low-level adventurer, how could he know the specific affairs of the kingdom?

A noble or top-level adventurer would be more likely to know.

"Is that so? Then thank you for your answers, you can leave."

After hearing the middle-aged man's answer, Lu Minghao understood that he didn't know about this matter at all. However, after thinking about it a little, Lu Minghao understood. After all, the other party was just a civilian before, and now he's just a low-level adventurer, how could he know this news?

It would be more likely if it were a noble or a top-level adventurer.
