Those "soldiers" had human-like bodies, but they were completely transparent, black, and gel-like. They had no fingers or toes, but smooth, round heads as the ends of their hands and feet.
Their faces are very similar to those of fourth-order slimes, with zigzag mouths and scarlet inverted triangular eyes.
"This should be a fifth-order slime."
Luo Xiu appeared directly above the towering wall, stood in front of the soldiers, and reached out his hand.
With a bang, Luo Xiu didn't even use any force. The moment his hand covered the slime's neck, the soldier in front of him exploded, turning into a pool of black liquid.
"Its strength is not as good as the fifth-tier Flood Lizard, but compared to the fourth-tier, its physical resistance has returned."
Luo Xiu withdrew his hand, ignoring the fierce and violent gazes of the slime soldiers around him, and looked towards the interior of the city wall.
Inside, the structure resembled a palace, with a main path running through the center of the hall. Ascending the steps, one would find tiered platforms, each topped with slimes that resembled humans. At the very end of the main path, there was a chair.
A slime dressed as a queen is sitting on top.
She was dressed as a queen because she wore a crown made of slime liquid.
At the same time, her face is almost identical to that of a human.
The mouth is much softer, no longer a jagged, zigzag shape, and the eyes are no longer inverted triangles, but rather resemble the phoenix eyes of the original world.
"Old White wasn't lying, the Slime Queen really does look like a human."
Luo Xiu recalled how Old White had advised him to simply give up resisting and become a stud for the Slime Queen.
At the same time, he also saw the nightingale beside the Slime Queen.
At this moment, Nightingale was sitting sideways in the chair of the Slime Queen. Several tentacles extended from the Slime Queen's body and attached themselves to the bloody hole on Nightingale's back, healing her wounds.
The nightingale looked up and also noticed Luo Xiu on the wall.
This time, however, there was no fear or panic in its eyes, only a cold laugh.
"You actually dared to follow me."
Nightingale spoke, her eyes filled with a ferocious glint, as if she wanted to devour Luo Xiu alive and tear him to pieces.
Luo Xiu smiled:
"You're really not going to run away anymore."
"Shut up!!!"
Luo Xiu's words seemed to make Nightingale feel ashamed, and she was so angry that she was trembling all over.
"++, take care of him."
Nightingale spoke to the Slime Queen beside her, adding:
"You do it yourself, but be careful, he's suspicious."
The Slime Queen received the order, retracted her tentacles, and looked up at Luo Xiu on the wall.
The face looked exactly like a human woman's, except that her eyes were redder, her skin was darker, and it was more translucent.
It looked at Luo Xiu and actually spoke:
"You dare to beat an adult like this, you deserve to die."
"The seventh rank can finally speak. I thought your race was intellectually inferior no matter what rank you were."
Luo Xiu chuckled, which immediately enraged the Slime Queen.
Her face, which resembled that of a human woman, was now contorted with rage. As if launched into action, her figure transformed into a cannonball, crashing directly into Luo Xiu.
Upon impact, countless crystal-like fragments of matter appeared along the path she traversed.
Those were fragments of space, fleeting in the air, torn apart and then repaired once more.
But this is enough to illustrate how terrifying this attack is; anyone below the seventh rank who is hit by it will probably be reduced to ashes.
The nightingale on the throne sneered.
It had fought Luo Xiu before and knew his strength. Even if Luo Xiu had held back just now, he probably hadn't held back much. The Slime Queen could definitely crush Luo Xiu.
Even if Luo Xiu used the mysterious power that had weakened him before, he could at most fight the Slime Queen to a draw. Given enough time, once he had fully recovered, killing Luo Xiu would not require any mental effort.
However, the next second, he suddenly stood up from his seat and stared incredulously at the battle in the air.
Luo Xiu grabbed the Slime Queen's arms and forcefully pressed her body to a stop.
Then a flying knee strike landed directly on the Slime Queen's side.
With a cracking sound, Luo Xiu's attack tore through the surrounding space and struck the Slime Queen on the spot.
Black liquid splattered from the Queen's waist. The Slime Queen couldn't help but roar in pain. Just as she was about to retaliate, Luo Xiu grabbed her arm and spun her around like a piece of chewing gum, finally slamming her against the city wall.
"Boom——"
With a single strike, countless plumes of dust exploded, and the towering city wall collapsed in half, crashing to the ground.
Chapter 264 The Chase Part 3 (Back to Wheel Town)
The towering city walls seemed to explode one after another in an instant. Luo Xiu grabbed the Slime Queen and kept slamming her against the city walls. Every movement would cause thousands of dust particles to explode, like a bottle full of spring water being broken, with sand and dust gushing out.
This scene stunned the nightingale. It wasn't that it hadn't seen even more ferocious power before, but this was completely inconsistent with the strength that Luo Xiu had displayed when they fought each other.
If Luo Xiu had possessed such power, it should have been crushed to pieces halfway there, and there would have been no way it could have reached the Slime Plain.
Watching the Slime Queen being wantonly ravaged in Luo Xiu's hands, its eyes flickered, and it already had the intention to retreat.
But where can it retreat to now? The Slime Plains are already its stronghold; any further retreat would mean leaving the Land of Gods.
But the consequences are severe, extremely severe. If a member deserts during the trial, they will definitely be expelled from the family.
The original bloodline will no longer acknowledge that it belongs to the demon race. At that time, the original demonic nature will leave it along with the glory of the demon race.
There is a very high probability that it will experience bloodline degeneration and become a...
Humanity.
This is worse than killing it.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for it to make such a choice.
That leaves only one place he can go: to his two cousins' place.
It could already imagine the humiliation it would suffer if it went to those two brothers for help, but if things really got that bad, it would have no other choice.
This was by no means a search for dependence, but rather a desire to huddle together for warmth. That's how it comforted itself.
If he were to die, his two cousins would also be doomed to be killed by the man before them.
That being said, it decided to take a gamble before making that move.
It gently flapped its remaining four bone wings, and two jet-black feathers hidden at the base of the wings slowly drifted out, floating away from the other side of the battle and leaving the already ruined castle.
After finishing this task, it sensed the remaining traces of its original demonic nature within its body, seized the time to recover, and secretly inscribed a magic array, ready to leave at any moment.
In the sky, the Slime Queen, held in Luo Xiu's hand, was being swung around until she was dizzy and disoriented.
Finally seizing the opportunity, just as she was about to be slammed against the wall, her body transformed into an extremely soft liquid, clinging to the city wall, and she broke free from Luo Xiu's grasp.
Its body instantly returned to normal, and it appeared to be unharmed except for some minor scratches on its skin.
After all, she was a seventh-tier being. Even though the surrounding city walls had collapsed, it was nothing more than a superficial injury to her.
Luo Xiu's actions completely enraged it. It never imagined that a human would dare to use its own body as a hammer to destroy its palace.
Its limbs gradually extended, and their excellent flexibility allowed it to change the shape of its limbs at will. At this moment, they turned into sticky lines that intertwined to form a large net that completely sealed off the surrounding space.
At the same time, clumps of mucus gushed from its mouth, forming giant magic circles in the air that surrounded it.
Dark demonic energy emerged in the air and flowed into the magic circle, while its body retreated backward with the swinging of its limbs, like a slingshot being loaded and gradually fully drawn.
A violent aura filled the surrounding air; this was its strongest killing move.
Once it starts, it's a fight to the death.
But Luo Xiu on the other side appeared very calm. Even though the Slime Queen's killing intent had solidified to the point of being almost visible, he simply raised his right hand indifferently.
He devised a way to kill the Slime Queen, just like he had killed the first slime; he needed a sharp weapon.
In that brief exchange, he slammed the Slime Queen nearly a thousand times, but it seemed to have had little effect.
To inflict real damage on it, you would need a sharp blade capable of cutting.
He didn't have a weapon of the corresponding level, and as his strength gradually increased, the weapon could no longer keep up with his progress.
However, he still came up with three ways to harm the Slime Queen, and then he began to test them one by one.
He looked up, and the moment his gaze met that of the Slime Queen, she moved.
The surrounding net was taut like a fully drawn bow, stretched to its limit. The Slime Queen's body was far away, appearing as a small black dot, but now this black dot was rapidly expanding at an alarming rate.
Dark demonic flames erupted around it, and the scorching flames generated by its excessive speed burned everything in its path. Luo Xiu's brow twitched, sensing the danger of this move.
If he were hit directly, he would likely suffer a significant injury.
But he maintained the raised right hand posture, using his palm as a knife, waiting for the Slime Queen to approach.
Almost instantly, the Slime Queen's body was already in front of him.
As the situation drew closer, the sense of danger became increasingly pronounced.
Luo Xiu could even smell the burning sensation, and the raging flames filled his eyes, turning the entire sky gray with dark flames.
"call--"
Luo Xiu exhaled, activated the Weakness Technique, and simultaneously swung his palm.
A seemingly casual palm strike, yet it appeared to cleave the sky, extinguish the flames, and sever all life.
Like a flash of a blade in the air, Luo Xiu and the Slime Queen's bodies passed each other.
The next second, scorching flames burst forth on his body, and flames shot into the sky.
He was ultimately tainted by the blazing flames surrounding the Slime Queen, and even though the timing was perfect, the Weakness spell still took effect.
However, it is very difficult to emerge unscathed from a fight between seventh-tier opponents.
Luo Xiu felt his golden hair burning, but that was all.
With a hum, a verdant barrier unfolded from the robe behind him, extinguishing the flames around him.
