Slime simulator

Day eleven, you watch the thief monster group disperse, leaving in all directions.

You follow one of them.

From yesterday's observations, you've already gathered some information about this group of thief monsters.

They are composed of different monsters, led by a monster called a Crimson Flame Rat.

Crimson Flame Rat, Tier 3 Level 7.

This thief team was initiated and organized by it.

You haven't obtained any more information.

You watch the Crimson Flame Rat leave cautiously, vigilantly checking its surroundings every so often, and you feel admiration.

With this kind of spirit, it will definitely go far in this line of work.

You directly activate Liquefaction and follow it.

After liquefying, you transform into a puddle of water on the ground, reducing the volume that can be seen.

You hang far behind the Crimson Flame Rat, always maintaining a safe distance of fifty meters.

...

After a full fifteen minutes of travel, just as you were suspecting it had discovered you and was trying to find a way to shake you off, it stopped.

'Brothers, stop hiding and come out.'

With its voice, you are shocked.

You've hidden so well, yet you've been discovered!

You hesitate whether to run away immediately.

Suddenly, you see the Crimson Flame Rat scratching its head, seemingly relieved.

You are stunned.

This rat was bluffing!!!

The Crimson Flame Rat continues forward, and you continue to follow.

Soon, a large rock appears in your field of vision.

Underneath the large rock is a pile of rubble.

The Crimson Flame Rat quickly surveys the surroundings, confirms there is no danger, and directly moves the rubble away, revealing a dark hole.

The hole isn't small, but the Crimson Flame Rat is larger, and it struggles to squeeze inside.

After that, you see that only its tail is still outside.

You see its tail nimbly pulling the rubble next to the hole back over, blocking the entrance.

You approach and stop twenty meters away from the pile of rubble.

You aren't sure if there are any traps around.

You wait patiently.

Suddenly, ten meters in front of you, the ground bulges up into an arc.

You see the Crimson Flame Rat, which had just entered the hole, poking its head out, surveying the surroundings again, and cautiously retracting its head.

The arched ground settles firmly, seamlessly fitting with the ground.

Your eyes widen.

This Crimson Flame Rat is so vigilant!

Knowing it's vigilant, you continue to wait.

Another half hour passes, and there is no movement.

You approach the pile of rubble.

Suddenly, a blazing flame attack appears from behind you.

You don't have time to react and immediately activate Super Hardening!

Instantly, the flames land on your body.

With Super Hardening activated, you don't suffer a single injury.

You deactivate Super Hardening and look at the Crimson Flame Rat.

At this moment, its eyes clearly show surprise.

You ask curiously, 'When did you discover me?'

The Crimson Flame Rat pretends, 'I discovered you a long time ago, from when you started following me.'

You immediately know that it just discovered you.

You look at the ground and suddenly see a circle of white powder fifty meters away.

Just now, you didn't notice it, walked directly over it, scattering the powder, which extended all the way to where you are now.

Careless.

What a clever rat!

Your eyes glint as you look at the Crimson Flame Rat and say, 'I've come admiringly, wanting to join your team.'

'Even Tier 3 Level 10 monsters can't detect my stealth skills, but you were able to discover me immediately, making me want to join you even more.'

Your flattery makes the Crimson Flame Rat quite happy.

It sizes you up, its eyes filled with disdain, 'You're only Tier 3 Level 6. The minimum level I accept for monsters is Tier 3 Level 7.'

You say with a smile, 'I'm a water-attribute monster.'

The Crimson Flame Rat is stunned and realizes that you are a water-attribute monster.

Its eyes widen, it hesitates, and then it says suspiciously, 'Do you really want to join me?'

You nod repeatedly, your eyes full of 'admiration'.

Seeing that your expression doesn't seem fake, the Crimson Flame Rat nods slightly, 'Alright, I'll give you a chance.

But if you want to join my organization, you need to have some decent achievements under your belt.'

You directly take out the Violet Swamp Flame Fruit.

The Crimson Flame Rat's eyes widen instantly, staring obsessively at the Violet Swamp Flame Fruit.

You say, 'I stole this from a Tier 4 monster, it's called the Violet Swamp Flame Fruit.'

The Crimson Flame Rat wipes the saliva from the corner of its mouth and reaches out its front paw to snatch it.

With a flash, you retract it.

The Crimson Flame Rat pauses, looking at you, 'What do you mean by this?'

You say with a smile, 'Can I join the organization now?'

The Crimson Flame Rat nods repeatedly, 'Of course, you're a member of my organization now, quickly give me the Violet Swamp Flame Fruit.'

You happily hand over the Violet Swamp Flame Fruit.

The Crimson Flame Rat hurriedly reaches out its paw, but suddenly, you retract it again.

The Crimson Flame Rat stiffens, glaring at you, 'Slime, are you toying with me?!'

Magic power erupts from its body.

You quickly say, your expression panicked, 'No, no... I was just thinking that you, Boss, are so powerful, you must have even better treasures and wouldn't be interested in this one in my hand.'

After hearing your words, the Crimson Flame Rat puts on the posture of an expert, 'That... that's of course. I, Boss, have countless treasures in my hands, all obtained from powerful monsters...'

You immediately say, 'I heard that the Three-Flame Fire-Patterned Python has a treasure called the Three-Flame Fire Dragon Fruit.

You, Boss, are so powerful, you can definitely get it easily.'

Hearing 'Three-Flame Fire-Patterned Python', the Crimson Flame Rat immediately panics.

'That... the Three-Flame Fire-Patterned Python, it... it...'

You look at it suspiciously, holding the Violet Swamp Flame Fruit tightly, 'Boss! I can get the Violet Swamp Flame Fruit from a Tier 4 monster, you wouldn't even be able to handle a Tier 3 Level 10 Three-Flame Fire-Patterned Python, would you...'

The Crimson Flame Rat immediately interrupts you, 'Nonsense! There's nothing I can't steal!!!'

You chuckle inwardly, looking at it with a face full of admiration, 'Then Boss, when do we set off!'

The Crimson Flame Rat's body stiffens, 'Now... just... first, let's rest for a while, we just finished a big job, we need... to take a good rest.'

You widen your eyes, saying in confusion, 'Boss, you just said that you discovered me when I was following you.

I personally saw you leading the other brothers past the Three-Flame Fire-Patterned Python's territory and picking up a lot of things, picking up things shouldn't be tiring, right?'

The Crimson Flame Rat looks at you with a blank expression, 'Of course!! It's just picking up some things.

Besides, the other brothers are also very powerful, the Three-Flame Fire-Patterned Python is nothing!!

Le... let's go!!!'

The Crimson Flame Rat leads the way, with you following behind.

Soon, the Crimson Flame Rat gathers all the other partners who had just dispersed.

After introducing each other, hearing that they were going to steal the Three-Flame Fire-Patterned Python's treasure, the other monsters were so scared that their legs went weak on the spot.

You say cutely, 'Crimson Flame Rat Boss, you just said that the other brothers are so powerful, they will definitely be able to easily get the Three-Flame Fire Dragon Fruit, right!!!'

The Crimson Flame Rat's expression freezes, looking at the other monsters in disappointment, 'Are you afraid of just a Three-Flame Fire-Patterned Python?!'

'You're so cowardly, you're not even as good as a newcomer, and I trusted you so much!'

The other monsters are ashamed by what the Crimson Flame Rat said, and their bloodlust is aroused, roaring and preparing to act.

You watch this scene, laughing inwardly.

'Go! Go!'
