Chereads / The Beast Tamer Is A Slime / Chapter 13 - “Stealing Corpses”

Chapter 13 - “Stealing Corpses”

The rain only lasted for a few seconds, but the hunters didn't dare to ignore it. 

At the same time, Neo, who was a distance away from the hunters, quickly moved out of the range of the acid rain while cursing the six people. 

Oh fck! Acid rain! Damn it! 

Please, dear hunters, don't drag him into this! 

His body was already riddled with holes thanks to that damn ambitious slime. 

If you guys want to fight, just fight. But why provoke the slimes to launch a "joint attack"? 

Even if the slime's skin was much more resistant to its own corrosive liquid, Neo felt that he would melt under such acid rain! 

Thankfully, the rain didn't injure anyone, including a little slime taking cover behind a small rock. 

Only the hunters' raincoats and backpacks were sacrificed to a certain degree. 

The hunters didn't care about this small "loss" and continued to kill as many slimes as they could. 

They would carefully put the slime core that could continuously create a wonderful corrosive liquid into small special jars while the slime corpses were thrown to the ground, waiting for the "porter" of the team, Charlie, to clean it up for them. 

As they killed more and more slimes, the slime corpses were scattered everywhere. 

One time, Tom almost stepped on the slippery slime corpse on the ground, and he immediately cursed. 

"Sh*t! There are disgusting slime corpses everywhere. Fck it! When will you guys collect the corpses?" 

Aside from littering the ground and making it difficult for the hunters to move around, if someone didn't collect the corpses, other slimes would soon devour their own kinds and eat those corpses. 

When Tom started to curse, he didn't forget to drag Charlie, who still didn't consciously pick up the slime corpses for them. 

"Hey, weaklings! You're the porter, right? Quick! Clean up the corpses! I almost can't move!" 

Tom would definitely spit on Charlie's face if he could, but he was teaming up with Daniel, quite a distance away from Charlie. 

When Charlie heard Tom's loud curse echoing in the cave, he reflexively shuddered while speeding up his movement to stab the slimes that Remy helped him to restrain. 

"O-okay! Okay! Wait! Just one more slime to kill." 

After symbolically killing a few slimes with Remy's help, Charlie immediately picked up everyone's backpacks that they put on the ground while fighting. 

He picked up the scattered corpses around everyone's feet one by one, and put them at a clean corner without slimes. 

Then, he separated each hunter's spoils clearly so that no one would feel unbalanced. 

The hunters would count the number of slimes they killed and Charlie would honestly add the corpses into the hunter's piles. 

John killed thirty slimes, and Tom, the troublemaker, actually killed twenty slimes in a short time. 

Lina killed fifteen while Remy killed ten, just like Daniel. 

Listening to the hunters reporting their number of kills, Charlie's heart silently ached. 

He only killed three slimes…

He knew that he was useless, but the gap was too big. 

With a heavy heart, Charlie pursed his lips and took out tall cylinder tubes from the hunters' backpack.

Next, he started to dutifully stuff the slime corpses into these tall cylinder tubes that could fit fifty slime corpses at once per tube! 

Coincidentally, the place Charlie chose to sort out the spoils was just a few meters away from the small rock where Neo was. 

Neo peeked out of the rock and looked at Charlie, who was dealing with slime corpses. 

With a ding sound, a light bulb suddenly appeared in Neo's mind.

He came up with an idea! 

Should he eat those corpses? Although it wouldn't allow him to level up, it would restore his energy so that he could use the [Immortal Body] skill once more, right? 

Neo looked down at his body that became smaller than before because the ambitious slime had already digested a part of his body. 

He couldn't help but want to take out the damn slime's corpse from his belly to whip it over and over again. 

Hmph! It's not enough to die so fast like that! 

Although Neo had already digested the ambitious slime, maybe because he awakened as a [Beast Tamer] and was planning to use many other skills, his instinct told him to eat more. 

What kind of food would be more nutritious and fulfilling than the corpses of fellow slimes? 

Neo had already thrown away his heart full of guilt for eating a fellow slime. 

Those slimes didn't see him as their own kind, so why should he become a "saint" here? 

If he didn't eat those slimes, he might starve to death or have no energy to use skills! 

With a plan in mind, Neo sneaked into the corner where Charlie processed the slime bodies and when the young man was not paying attention...

The little slime hurriedly stretched its "hand" and dragged a slime corpse to the back of the rock he was using as a temporary shelter from the acid rain. 

Poor Charlie, he didn't know that coincidentally, the slime corpse that Neo chose was precisely the one he killed. 

He only killed three, but one was stolen right under his nose. 

Neo silently used his remaining acid liquid to slowly gnaw on the slime corpse and soon, he slurped the slime into his belly. 

This time, he didn't activate the [Devour] or [Absorb] skill because [Devour] was used to subdue a living prey while [Absorb] was used on other inanimate things such as rocks, weapons, and so on. 

Hum. Corpse didn't count. 

Neo actually could activate the [Absorb] skill, but that skill was only useful when used on the hunters' weapons and props, so he didn't bother to show off. 

After digesting one slime corpse with a lot of difficulties, Neo continued to steal a few more slime corpses. 

This time, all the other five hunters were not spared. 

Hum. He's such a fair slime!
