While Neo was busy looking for a new "house" to settle down temporarily, the hunters were not so leisure.
Maybe the slimes felt the presence of human beings and felt threatened or something.
The moment the hunters stepped into the middle section of the cave, a slime that was sticking to the wall, immediately wriggled anxiously.
Then, the slime jumped down from the wall and went straight to John, the hunter who was at the front of the team formation!
The slime's movement was so fast and agile that in the eyes of the hunters, they only saw a black shadow pouncing on John.
Lina, who was right a few steps behind John, was quick to react and immediately directed the flashlight to illuminate the black shadow!
At the same time as when Lina illuminated the black shadow, John, the target of the sudden attack, took a step back calmly, dodging the flashing shadow just a breath away.
The next second, right after John dodged, the black shadow landed on the ground with a thud.
However, the light from the flashlight had already shone upon the black shadow, exposing it to the hunters' eyes.
When the six humans carefully looked at the "black shadow" under the flashlight, they immediately recognized its true form.
A slime!
They actually found a slime so early. It seemed that the number of slimes in this dungeon was indeed too much, almost exceeding the safe line.
The first slime missed its attack, but soon, more and more slimes made a move.
When the slimes moved, Remy and Daniel immediately directed their flashlights at other places to illuminate the movement of the slimes, especially the ceiling.
The ceiling of this cave was comparable to a three-story building.
The flashlight couldn't reach the ceiling at all, and could only illuminate the higher wall full of slimes.
At first, the slimes were as still as a rock but once the light touched them, they immediately jumped down from the surrounding walls, pouncing on the hunters eagerly!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The six hunters immediately started to dodge the falling slimes and tried to stick to a clean wall without any slimes to protect their backs from sneak attacks.
Even the most cowardly Charlie reacted in time.
Once they dodged the first wave of slimes jumping down from the wall, all six hunters actively spread out to find their targets under the range of the flashlight.
There were only three flashlights, so John teamed up with Lina, Remy with Charlie, and Tom teamed up with Daniel.
The six hunters didn't walk further while dealing with the slimes, but the slimes deeper inside the cave had already noticed the breath of intruders.
Food! A lot of food!
Without any command, the slimes started to jump down the wall or jumped up from the ground one after another, as fast as lighting!
Yes. These slimes were nimble and fast, unlike the little slime Neo who was slow at everything.
They had no color and blended perfectly with the dark cave, making it extremely difficult for these humans to see.
Even with the help of the special flashlight, it was still difficult to fight the numerous slimes in a narrow and dark space.
The hunters began their prolonged fight against the slimes, and thanks to the hunters for attracting the slimes, Neo unknowingly walked deeper into the back section of the cave without encountering a single adult slime who would block his way!
After all, almost half of the slimes at the middle section of the cave had already rushed to attack the hunters.
Neo silently put his "hands" together and thanked the six hunters for their "contribution" in attracting those slimes.
Thank you, kind human beings. He will always remember these kind humans.
Lalala~ a little slime is searching for a new little house~ going to emo at the corner~ drawing circles to curse people~
The ignorant little slime "sang" a ditty while unknowingly going deeper into the back section of the cave.
The deeper Neo went into the cave, the fainter the sound of fighting behind him.
The hunters were already tens of meters away from Neo, or even farther than that.
In no time, the deep cave was so silent that Neo could hear his own squeaking noise while crawling forward.
With no humans to attract the slimes' attention, the slimes residing deep inside the cave did nothing and just slept quietly, not interested in going out.
Some slimes could be seen wrestling with other slimes, but in Neo's eyes, he could only see spots of light merging and separating messily.
The kid didn't want to be a curious cat who died of curiosity, so he just mind his own business and started to find some safe corners.
While looking around for a safe corner, Neo slowly noticed the subtle difference between the slimes here and the slimes at the middle section of the cave.
Is it his hallucination or the slimes here are bigger than the slimes he encountered before?
The slimes here were all bigger than a basketball. Maybe one and a half of basketball.
Some slimes were particularly big, as big as two basketballs!
For Neo, those slimes were already like mountains, not walls.
Somehow, Neo's instinct told him to avoid those mountain-like slimes, so he cautiously moved towards the "smaller" slimes.
Please, let nothing happen!
Well, Neo had just set up a death flag.
Neo thought that he was already super cautious and careful, but what he didn't know is that…
He was extremely conspicuous in the eyes of other slimes!
How conspicuous? It was like seeing a lamb walking into the den of wolves and yet the lamb was still ignorant.
Such a small and lively slime, how could other slimes not notice?
After all, there were almost no slime cubs here!
