Chapter 9: “Slime Pancake”
Thinking about this, Neo quickly flipped through his system panel and found a suitable skill from the [Slime Cub] skill set that he looked down before.
Ah! He knew it! The system was still fair and gave him, a slime cub, a set of skills that might wonder in certain circumstances!
If this skill that he chose worked, those hunters might not harm him at all and might even offer their precious weapons to him.
Of course, Neo waited until the hunters cleaned up the slimes at the cave's middle section.
Thirty minutes later—
The hunters started to sit down around the slime corpses, waiting for Charlie to clean it up.
It was finally time for Neo to go on the "stage".
Neo immediately crawled out of the tiny rock that had almost been flattened to the ground.
The slime crawled slowly towards its chosen target, but surprisingly, it didn't choose Charlie, who was closest to it and the easiest to be influenced.
On the other hand, Neo chose to crawl towards John, the hunter who wanted to harm him the most.
If he could soften the heart of this hunter, the other hunters would automatically fall under his suit pants!
What a good idea.
Neo didn't bounce or pounce on John, afraid that the hunter's reflex would immediately stab him with a knife.
Instead, after he was only a meter away from the target, he laid flat on the ground, waiting for the hunter to pick him up!
He didn't know the range of this skill and was afraid it would only be a few centimeters from him as the user.
Let's wait until the hunters picked him up or had a super close distance with him before trying the skill.
Indeed, the hunters had sharp eyes despite the dark cave and immediately found him, who was laying flat on the ground like a pancake, surrounded by countless slime corpses.
Well, Neo, a golden slime, was that eye-catching among transparent slime.
Seeing the slime cub that appeared out of the blue and even "lazing" around as if there was no danger, the hunters were taken aback.
Wasn't this the mutated slime that left them behind and went deep into the cave?
When John saw Neo, he immediately left his place and squatted next to the slime pancake, looking like a curious kid despite his bear-like body.
Without being too cautious, John directly picked up the slime with bare hands, and to his surprise, the slime didn't react at all.
It just wriggled, found a comfortable position on John's palm, and stopped moving.
It even looked like it was about to sleep...
Neo wanted to trick these hunters to death and fleece their "wools", so how could he waste his energy to struggle?
After John safely picked up the slime, in no time, the other hunters surrounded John and all of them were looking at the slime pancake with curiosity.
"We caught it so easily...it even came back to us. What to do now? Squeeze it to death?"
Remy stretched her fingers and poked Neo's buttock.
Of course she didn't know it was Neo's buttocks because how could she distinguish between a slime's front and back?
But a certain slime silently cursed at this brunette woman and even showed his "disgust" by wriggling away from Remy's finger.
Help! Someone is sexually harassing a slime!
Even if this lady is a beautiful woman, he won't tolerate anyone touching his b*tt!
Lina also looked at the round golden slime, and the more she looked at it, the cuter it became.
"Otherwise, should we just take it out? As long as it doesn't call its parents, we can smuggle it out."
Other beasts wouldn't follow the hunters without a beast tamer or a contract scroll, but slimes were too weak and "docile".
Many wealthy people who wanted to keep a magical dungeon beast would choose to raise a slime.
Lina and Remy, the two women, changed their minds about killing Neo.
John was the one with the most murderous intent towards Neo, but when the slime laid down obediently on his palm, his heart softened.
The big man also felt that it was unnecessary to kill the slime if they could sell it for a high price.
Only Tom and Charlie disliked Neo.
"Let's just kill it and quickly kill the other slimes. I don't want to stay in this kind of shit hole any longer."
Tom pinched his nose and looked at Neo in disgust.
As for Charlie, he was the farthest away from the slime. Fear was written all over his freckled face.
"Let's just take it away. Look, it is so well-behaved and silent. It won't cry and give us trouble," Daniel, who rarely talked a lot, surprisingly started to persuade his teammates.
Other slimes would definitely attack them out of reflex because they didn't have any intelligence.
But this slime looked quite smart…
Interesting.
Daniel might really like the slime, but he was more curious about the mutated slime itself.
How about doing some experiment on the slime?
Neo instantly shuddered and immediately looked around alertly.
Which bastard has a bad idea about him?
Come out! He's scared!
While the hunters were discussing whether to kill Neo or not, Neo slowly calmed down and started to grin from ear to ear.
If he had teeth, he would definitely smile like a cunning villain.
Hehehe. All the experiment subjects are in the range.
Let's start the experiment.
This is the first step to indirectly "tame" human beings!
Daniel, the one who first thought of experimenting on Neo, would have never thought that the slime was also thinking about using them as experiment subjects.
Neo didn't beat around the bush and immediately activated the skill that he had been eyeing before.
DING! [Cub's Cry] skill is activated.
[Cub's Cry]
(Skill level: E)
The moment the skill was activated, Neo had the urge to cry.
"Chiii! Chiii!" Neo uncontrollably let out a weak cry, similar to that of a little bird.
The next second, the special effect swept over his body!
