The Beast Tamer Is A Slime

Chapter 7: “Acid Rain”



The hunters saw the strange slime "running away", but they didn't bother to chase it anymore.

Anyway, when they cleaned up the whole cave, they would see the slime again sooner or later.

The hunters slowly walked deeper into the cave, and the tunnel became even more narrow than before, only enough for two adult men to pass through at the same time.

The hunter simply lined up with John at the front, Lina behind him, plus Remy and Daniel behind Lina.

The last two hunters were at the back of the team.

When the hunters went further into the cave, not to mention the gradually darkening cave, even the temperature around them slowly dropped.

Tick. Tack.

A few drops of water fell from the ceiling of the cave, hitting the rocky road that already became somewhat slippery from these water droplets.

Remy and Daniel, two hunters in charge of collecting materials, immediately collected these drops of water called the "Slime Water".

This water had miraculous healing effects on humans, just like how the slimes who drank this water all their life could regenerate quickly.

Once the two people finished filling up two palm-sized glass jars that they brought with them, Lina gestured to the two people to go back to their formation.

"Okay, guys, keep up your guard. We are already at the middle section of the cave. There will be more slimes soon than just that slime cub."

Of course, Neo, the slime that Lina mentioned, didn't really dare to venture deeper into the cave.

What if there were more slimes that he didn't scare away with the blinding special effects?

Wouldn't those slimes devour him the moment they saw him?

Neo simply lurked behind some small rocks, waiting for the hunters to explore the way for him.

Indeed, in no time, a bunch of black shadows from the three-story ceiling, the wall and even the ground, rushed towards the hunters as fast as lighting!

Neo was immediately glad that he didn't insist on going deeper into the cave.

Look. How many slimes were there?

Too many to count!

The slimes 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— the legendary [Acid Spray].

PUFF!

A slime sprayed John with an acid slime, and a torrent of corrosive transparent liquid flew onto the man's face.

Some drops of the liquid fell onto the ground, touching other slimes and the rocky ground.

The slimes were mostly fine, but 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.

After a perfect dodge, he moved forward and swiftly thrust the dagger in his hand.

CRACK!

The man ruthlessly stabbed the slime right at the black bead inside its body, cracking the bead to pieces.

When the slime core was damaged, the slime immediately stopped moving.

Then, the cracked slime core slowly dissolved in the acid liquid of the slime's own body.

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 when cutting him back then, right?

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 rain" under the light from the flashlight rushed 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, making the cave wall a safer place.

At the same time, Neo, who was a distance away from the hunters, also 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!

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 a heavy acid rain!

He escaped from the mouth of a slime and even escaped from the hunter's knife attacks twice.

Would he actually die from a random acid rain?

Neo felt like vomiting blood.

God, bless him! Let him survive this random attack!
