"Hold on, hold on, John. I saw that slime, but did I see it right? Am I not hallucinating?"
A brunette female hunter rubbed her eyes in disbelief as she looked at the "melting" slime on the ground.
"Was that really the system's unique skill effect? The one that appears only when we use a skill?"
"You saw it right, Remy! What other effects can be as cringe and embarrassing as the system skill's special effects?"
Tom rubbed his arms full of goosebumps, acting as if he wanted to puke on the spot.
Another hunter, the thinnest and weakest-looking hunter with freckles, couldn't help but interrupt Tom's speech with a trembling voice.
"B-but, Tom, aren't the system skill's special effect exclusive to us, the awakened hunters? E-even those top beasts, the dungeon bosses, don't have such a privilege!"
"What the fck Charlie, you call this a privilege? I might as well never use a single skill in my entire life!"
Tom waved his hands in disgust.
"Oh, but I still need my skills. Of course, if it's you, maybe you can really never use your skill for life, " Tom sneered at Charlie.
"After all, your skills are all garbage except for that one [Shadow Step] thingy!" Tom continued to mock Charlie, turning the young man's red with embarrassment.
Seeing Tom bullying Charlie again and Remy stealing glances at the strange slime, Lina, a blonde female hunter with a strong aura finally interfered.
"Hey, hey, hey, Tom, Remy, Charlie, focus on that slime! That slime is not normal!"
Lina pinched her temple and looked at the last hunter in the group, an elegant young man with glasses who looked the most reliable among the group of fools.
"Daniel, do you know something? What's wrong with that slime? How come there is a slime here? We are still near the entrance of the dungeon portal. There shouldn't be a slime."
"Well, I'm not sure, Lina. Maybe it is a mutated slime? Look, it's also much smaller than an ordinary slime. Only as big as my palm." Daniel shook his head and continued to look at Neo with eyes full of naked interest.
The hunters were shocked at the sight of a slime using the system skill's special effect and were busy discussing the newly discovered wonder of the world, but Neo was even more shocked than them.
His body wriggled at the speed of light and returned to its round shape.
The slime subconsciously "perked" its "ears", blatantly eavesdropping on the unaware hunters.
What did he hear just now?
Awakened hunters? Beasts? Dungeon bosses? System? Skills?
It turned out he was transmigrated into the world of dungeons, beasts and awakened beings, a common world setting in many popular manhwas!
But he wasn't happy at all.
If Neo had a human face, his face would have turned as pale as a ghost.
He thought he finally got the system, a golden finger that only transmigrators would have.
But the God of transmigration once again slapped him on the face.
Everyone here, such as the people who were hunting him, had a system and skills.
He wasn't that special.
Oh, wait. He indeed became a special slime.
What he did just now undoubtedly aroused the hunters' curiosity even more.
A slime that could use the skill effect that only awakened hunters could use.
It was possibly a rare mutated slime.
Actually, a mutated slime sounded dangerous, and these F-rank hunters entering an F-rank slime dungeon would definitely be afraid of such an uncontrollable factor.
But looking at the "badly destroyed pebble", the masterpiece of his attack just now…
Who would be scared?
Only he was scared silly!
Neo was hit hard.
The slime instantly melted for the second time, not wanting to move.
Destroy it all.
He's just a slime, a beast waiting to be killed or tamed by some random beast tamers out there.
His whole body would be used as materials, fetching a high price.
The only thing that could console him temporarily was that these hunters couldn't possibly tame him on the spot without a beast tamer or an expensive beast contract scroll.
So they would either capture him alive without a contract and auction him, or kill him to avoid future problems.
Even so, no matter what the hunters planned to do, Neo felt that he could do nothing to resist.
Just like Neo's guess, the hunters were shocked and wary at first, but seeing how weak the slime was, they became greedy.
They immediately surrounded the slime on the ground, intending to capture it alive.
But a few hunters, especially the cautious Lina and the cowardly Charlie, didn't agree to capture the slime alive.
"G-guys, let's just kill it! W-what if its parents are also mutated slimes? If we kidnap their cub, t-they might hunt us and we will die!"
Charlie stuttered and backed away from the slime, as if it was a scourge.
Even Neo, who was laying down waiting for death, couldn't help but notice this extremely cowardly hunter.
Someone could still be afraid of him after that embarrassing acid spray attack?
Wow. Take another look.
This hunter is such a disgrace to the hunter circle!
The other five hunters all furrowed their eyebrows at Charlie's cowardice, but Lina, the leader of their group, also supported the young man's idea.
"Let's not take a risk. A mutated slime, even if just a slime cub, still possess a threat to us, the lowest-level F-rank hunters."
The hunters unanimously thought that Neo was a slime cub.
After all, which slime would be as small and weak as a slime cub?
But the slime cub was a mutated slime, so the parents might also be mutated slimes.
Once the cub dies, even the slime's parents couldn't do anything to them.
However, if they captured the cub and the cub cried for help or something, attracting a much stronger slime that was possibly an adult mutated slime…
That would be troublesome!
"Okay, okay, let's kill it quickly." The other hunters finally agreed to kill the slime to avoid future problems.
"John, you go. You're the first to attack this slime. You should finish it too."
