Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

But now is not the time to think about that.

Luo Xiu's heart sank as he looked at the incredibly fast jumping slimes chasing after him.

His first priority now is to figure out how to survive and bring the news of the slimes' impending attack back to town.

Although he had reached the level where he could kill a Tier 1 goblin on his own, there were ten Tier 1 slimes, and Luo Xiu did not think he had that kind of strength.

Moreover, having just experienced a major battle today, my current magical power is not even enough to support me in casting a healing spell; at most, I can only use scrutiny and dust-shaking spells.

And Leila, she can't transform yet either.

Luo Xiu glanced at Leila beside him, who was breathing heavily and covered in sweat from running, and knew that if this continued, the slime behind them would definitely catch up.

There was nothing I could do; these guys were just too fast, even faster than me when I was in top physical condition.

If we were to quantify it, Luo Xiu thinks their speed should be 6.

I really don't know how these guys can move so fast with their two-meter-wide and tall bodies. They look like clumps of jelly jumping wildly.

With this in mind, Luo Xiu made up his mind.

"Leila."

He spoke.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Leila looked up; her brown hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her face.

"Prepare to counterattack."

Luo Xiu took out a hammer from the pocket at his waist, then stopped abruptly, turned around to look at the menacing slime behind him, and said:

"The tactic this time is to sustain the war through war!"

Upon hearing this, Leila immediately stopped, pulled out a dagger, and aimed it at the swarm of slimes.

Then she took three steps forward, standing protectively in front of Luo Xiu.

This action immediately caused a commotion among the slime population.

They couldn't understand why such a frail human would dare to make such a suicidal move.

The lead slime, in particular, shone with a bright red light in its eyes, and then leaped several meters ahead of the other slimes, its massive body pressing down on Leila like a mountain.

And just as it was about to crush Leila with its body,

Leila's lips curled up, and then she suddenly darted to the right.

She and Luo Xiu had worked together many times, and she knew that if her master said "using war to sustain war," it meant that her master meant...

Let's tackle the first one first!

boom! ! !

The hammer, crackling with lightning, crashed down.

The lead slime landed right where Leila had been standing and was hit squarely by Luo Xiu.

"Boo!!!"

The slime let out a painful roar, its body shrinking to almost nothing.

But Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed as he succeeded.

Although he used all his strength to smash it, he clearly felt that most of his force was dissipated.

It felt like punching a ball of cotton with all your might.

Are slimes in this world immune to certain things?

Sure enough, the slime snapped out of its pain the next second and lunged at Luo Xiu with a roar.

The distance was too close, and Luo Xiu had no time to dodge, so he could only bring his hammer down heavily.

It was the same feeling; the hammer seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, without making a ripple.

The slime opposite, though in pain, tightly wrapped itself around the hammer that had hit it.

A tremendous force came from the hammer, and Luo Xiu felt that the hammer in his hand was about to slip out of his grasp.

"Kiss!!"

The slime opposite roared in pain and released the hammer.

Just then, Leila darted out from the side, holding a jelly-like object—a piece of flesh she had plucked from the slime.

Well done, Leila!

With a sigh of admiration, Luo Xiu glanced at the other slimes behind the first one, who were thriving, and then retreated to the side and rear with Leila.

The slime that had a piece of its flesh cut off seemed to be completely enraged. It roared fiercely and chased after Luo Xiu and Leila with a speed far exceeding that of the other slimes.

Just as it was about to catch up with Luo Xiu, a sandstorm suddenly rose from the ground, obscuring its vision and also blocking the view of the slime chasing behind it.

Amidst the sandstorm, two figures approached the lone slime from the left and right.

They were Leila, carrying a hammer, and Luo Xiu, holding a dagger. Luo Xiu spoke:

"Leila, keep the rhythm, one hammer, one knife."

The slime couldn't understand what Luo Xiu was saying, but its monster instincts made it roar uneasily.

The sound of "pop pop!!!" rang out, signaling its location to its companions in the dust.

"Kiss!!!"

The other slimes in the dust responded.

But the slime's voice became intermittent, and each time it came out, it was filled with obvious fear and pain, as if it were being tortured by someone.

A few seconds later, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

The other nine slimes, who had caught up, finally arrived at the location where they had last heard the lone slime's cry, but there was no slime there.

There was only a girl carrying a large iron hammer, a blond man holding a dagger, and transparent fragments scattered all over the ground beneath him.

"First."

Luo Xiu spoke slowly, a smile playing on his lips.

A system notification sounded in his ear.

[Host has killed a small slime, points +2]

[Host's first kill of a slime, points +1]

[Points available: 3]

Chapter 14 Red Dragon Tower Sanya

Upon hearing the system notification, Luo Xiu did not hesitate at all and allocated the points according to his pre-planned strategy.

1 point of Agility, 1 point of Strength, 1 point of Magic.

As a result, Luo Xiu's attribute panel became:

Name: Luo Xiu

【Strength: 17】

[Agility: 6]

[Physique: 7]

【Magic Power: 5】

[Mental Resistance: 3]

[Note: The average score for adult males is 3. Higher scores do not necessarily correlate with higher performance.]

Luo Xiu has always prioritized Strength and secondary Constitution in his stat allocation.

But this time, Luo Xiu allocated 1 point to Agility first.

In this way, his agility is about the same as these first-tier slimes.

If anything else goes wrong later, even if we can't beat them, we can at least run away with Leila.

The 1 point of magic power allocated to Luo Xiu was an unexpected bonus from his first kill of a slime. He used it to replenish his depleted magic power so he could activate the Dust Spell.

The nine slimes opposite Luo Xiu looked at their companions, now shattered at his feet, and showed no fear; instead, they grew even angrier.

They roared and leaped toward Luo Xiu.

Seeing the overwhelming swarm of crazy jelly jelly rushing towards him, Luo Xiu naturally activated the Dust-Raising Technique once again.

The nine slimes landed heavily on the ground, their vision once again obscured by the sandstorm. But this time, they seemed to sense the danger in the sandstorm and moved closer to each other, no longer recklessly pursuing.

Until the slime on the far left felt the pain of being hit by a hammer, followed by a dagger slicing off a piece of its flesh.

"Kiss!!!"

Pain and anger instantly clouded its judgment.

These low-level monsters, which usually just move around randomly on the plains, obviously don't have much intelligence. Their first reaction after feeling pain is to fight back.

Its scarlet eyes stared intently in the direction of the attack, trying to find the location of the human who had attacked it.

Finally, its gaze caught sight of a faint figure!

Without any hesitation, the slime leaped up!

It jumped eight or nine meters away.

When it landed, it saw that faint figure again, and this time it was closer to it.

"Boo!!"

It roared excitedly, feeling that it was about to catch up.

Then came another big jump!

They chased each other for two or three rounds.

Just as it was about to catch up with that figure.
