This slime, let's just call it the ambitious slime, moved without a sound and was so agile that Neo looked like a crawling toddler compared to it.
Even though the ambitious slime was also "crawling", it looked like it was running rather than crawling.
Soon, the ambitious slime found the little slime hiding inside the gap and immediately went straight to the gap.
When it was right outside of the gap, it realized something belatedly.
For Neo, such a small gap was already quite spacious for him, who had an elastic body of a slime.
But the gap was too small for the huge slime outside!
Of course, such a hurdle didn't dampen its enthusiasm at all.
After "thinking" for a while, the slime actually stretched the corner of its body, forming a tiny "hand" without fingers, reaching deep into the gap!
Unfortunately, as the slime squeezed its hand in, it quickly found out that it would get stuck if it forced its way in.
The slime was motionless for a few seconds before it slowly gnawed at the rock that created the gap, trying to make the gap bigger.
Unlike other slimes who acted on instinct, this slime looked so much smarter.
Maybe it had evolved somehow.
Even those mountain-sized slimes might not be as smart as this ambitious slime.
Neo still underestimated the slimes too much.
Even the hunters out there didn't know that there would be slimes who evolved intelligence deep inside the cave.
Anyway, a little intelligence that was less than that of a cat or a dog wouldn't save their little lives as slimes.
The hunters would still kill all of them sooner or later, preventing the birth of a slime king that was possibly at the peak of the F-rank, bringing countless dangers to other hunters.
The ambitious slime secreted an acid liquid and quickly corroded the entrance to Neo's "new house".
While corroding the rock with its mouth, it naturally used the slime's basic skill [Absorb].
If one directed the flashlight onto the ambitious slime, one would see the rock debris floating inside its transparent belly, bit by bit absorbed by the slime core at the center.
But maybe because this slime was a real slime and not a human in the skin of a slime, when it used the basic skill [Absorb], there were no special effects around.
Unfortunately, because of this, Neo didn't even know that someone was trying to pry open the "door" of his "new house".
He was looking at the left column skill named [Slime Cub's Exclusive Skills] that he didn't see before.
When Neo read the four words on the panel, he finally burst into tears of happiness.
Ah! He knew it! It's impossible for him to be so weak and at such a disadvantage!
It turned out the slime cub also had its own special skill that would only work in a cub state!
Neo quickly read all the available skills on the [Slime Cub] column and found out that all the skills were not as useful as the slime's basic skill.
But it might work wonders!
He was so excited that his "cheeks" trembled hard.
Unfortunately, Neo didn't know that outside his "house", a certain slime was also so excited for a different reason that it started to tremble from head to toe.
Closer! It is getting closer to the special slime! Eat the slime cub, and it will evolve into a slime king!
There had never been a slime king in countless slime dungeons because the hunters cleaned up the slimes regularly, at least once every three days.
Even if the hunters didn't permanently close the dungeon by killing all the slimes inside for the purpose of getting renewable magic materials, the slimes had never been able to break out of the dungeon.
Other dungeons might have reached an overloaded state and the [Dungeon Break] event would occur, but the slimes could never.
These hunters simply didn't give time to the slimes to evolve so quickly.
If before, the little slime was just one of the many slime cubs who were lucky to survive the cannibalism of the adult slime.
But after Neo transmigrated into the little slime's body...
The little slime excluded a strange and tempting smell that it could not resist!
The ambitious slime didn't know why those "local tyrants", the mountain-sized slimes, didn't notice this strange slime at all.
Maybe because it was different from those stupid big slimes.
The ambitious slime might have eaten something different from other slimes, something belonging to the hunters, so it developed into a new direction.
Time was ticking, and the ambitious slime's little "hand" had dissolved a part of the gap, making it easier for the rest of its "hand" to come in.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
The sound of the rock debris falling to the ground quietly filled the silent cave.
No matter how slow Neo was, and no matter how absorbed he was in reading the system panel, it would be impossible not to notice such a big movement.
When the ambitious slime's little "hand" fully squeezed into the gap, it immediately blocked the gap, blocking Neo's only way to leave the gap.
Behind the little slime was a solid rock, which should have been a good place to prevent other slimes from sneaking up without him noticing.
But Neo realized that without another way out, he was trapped.
The little slime looked at the wriggling spots of light approaching it in the dark, and it almost fainted from anger.
What the hell! Why would another slime, possibly an adult slime, try to squeeze into this tiny gap?
Did it want to rob his house?
Hahaha. So funny! Instead of robbing his house, wouldn't it be better to eat him?
This slime is so stupid!
Neo laughed in his heart but the next second, a cruel realization hit his head and his gloating laughter froze on his face.
Don't tell him—
