Since the logo was also a tiny slime no different from Neo's current body…the substitution degree was high.
Neo got goosebumps and almost jumped high on the spot.
Ah! It feels so weird!
Forcefully ignoring the strange feeling brought by the ridiculous logo that the system added to his talent panel, Neo browsed through his [Beast Taming] talent column full of skills.
Well, the basic skills were the same as the usual beast tamers in novels and manhwas.
The active skills were there, the passive skills were there too.
Ah. He had an legendary-level personal skill.
Neo was already numb at how many Legendary-level skills he had.
Soon, he saw the level of his [Beast Taming] skill, which was an S-level skill.
Ah, but with his current F-rank state, he could only tame an F-rank beast and lower, but only a hunter one level lower than him.
....the F-rank is already the lowest level, though?
So, in the end, he still had to level up, right?
Neo quickly checked his slime race's basic skill to see how a slime could level up and found the [Absorb] skill that he had never studied in depth.
[Absorb]
(Skill level: L)
When Neo saw the skill level of [Absorb], his "eyes" widened like two huge coins.
What?? The slime race actually had a legendary-level skill?
What kind of race is the slime race?
Their [Immortal Body] skill is an SSS-level skill, and now, this [Absorb] skill is a legendary-level skill!
With such skills, how did the slimes stay at the bottom of the ladder?
Is it simply because they're stupid?
What kind of skill is this [Absorb] for the system to identify it as a legendary skill?
Neo curiously looked at the system's description of the skill.
[Absorb] skill:
[The slime can absorb any inanimate things containing processed magic/energy to upgrade and evolve.]
Use [Absorb] skill to level up....
Eat the processed magical materials, a.k.a, the hunters' weapons and props.
In the end, Neo couldn't escape from the hunters and even had to take the initiative to return.
Firstly, he wanted to steal their weapons to eat, and secondly...
Neo grinned as he bounced away from the new house he just found, abandoning it without any regret.
Hum. Hum. Hum.
He wanted to choose a (slave)— a hunter to tame!
Neo thought that after he wasted a lot of time wrestling with the ambitious slime, the hunters should have already cleaned up the middle section of the cave.
But when he finally arrived, what he saw was a group of poor hunters surrounded by a bunch of black shadows moving in the dark!
One after another, the slimes from the ceiling and the wall fell into the hunters like dumpling rain.
Most of them didn't use the acid spray and intended to envelop the target with their own body, which made it easier for the hunters to take action.
However, as more and more slimes surrounded the six hunters, some slimes at the edge of death were threatened.
The moment they sensed danger, they instantly used their innate skill to retaliate before their impending death— the acid spray.
PUFF!
A slime sprayed John with an acid slime, and a torrent of corrosive transparent liquid flew into the man's face.
Drops of liquid fell onto the ground, touching other slimes and the rocky ground.
When the liquid touched the skin of the slimes, most of them were unaffected and the liquid dripped down along their jelly body.
However, the rocks and pebbles on the ground were instantly leveled to the same level as the ground, leaving only a charred black spot.
The corrosiveness of an adult slime's acid liquid was several times stronger than Neo's!
The range of the spray was also formidable.
Even if the range wasn't too wide, it definitely covered a single line of several meters.
Neo saw this scene and almost bit his imaginary handkerchief, feeling so jealous of the adult slimes.
Being a cub is so unfair!
Not knowing that a certain slime was peeking at them, John, the target of the slime, dodged the acid spray nimbly without losing sight of the target.
The next second, he swiftly moved the dagger in his hand.
Swoosh!
The man ruthlessly stabbed the slime right at the black bead inside the jelly ball, ending its life in just a few seconds.
When the core was shattered, even if it only had cracks, the slime immediately stopped moving.
Then, the cracked core slowly dissolved in the acid liquid of the slime's own body, leaving behind a ball of jelly full of acid liquid.
If no one extracted the acid liquid, the liquid would also evaporate, leaving only the slime's jelly body with a regenerative effect.
Neo saw John's cool movement and almost broke into a cold sweat.
Damn it. This hunter showed mercy to him back then. If not, how could he avoid the knife from cutting his slime core just a millimeter away?
While the little slime was shivering with fright, the other slimes started to use one acid spray after another, faintly about to form an acid rain with their combined acid sprays.
Seeing the sign, the hunters immediately took out an [Anti-corrosive Raincoat] made of a slime's skin and other materials from their backpacks.
As the six hunters started to wear their raincoat, the group of slimes around them had also started to spray them with acid liquid from above, below, left and right.
PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!
The spontaneous acid spray looked like an acid rain under the light from the flashlight, rushing straight toward the six human beings down there.
"The acid rain is here! Get close to the wall and take cover!" Lina immediately shouted at the other five hunters and the hunters obeyed Lina's command.
They quickly squatted near the wall.
Most of these slimes had already jumped down the wall, so the acid rain came from the ceiling at the central area, a few meters away from the cave wall.
The "rain" rushed to the ground, destroying a lot of rocks and pebbles, making the road in this cave smoother and more slippery!
