26: Chapter 26 Little Skeleton: I'll just go for it!

The outskirts of the Green Python Mountain Range.

A dense swarm of snake-type Magic Pets gathered together.

Just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.

Zhou Xiong stood at the very front of the team, staring at the snake swarm in the distance, his brows furrowed.

"Captain."

A squad of Paladins returned from scouting the beast swarm and hurried over to report.

"We have finished scouting the intelligence on the perimeter of the beast swarm. It is mainly snake-type Magic Pets between levels 10 and 15."

Zhou Xiong nodded and issued an order.

"Proceed with the original plan. One squad will drive the Magic Pets from the front. The rest of you, stay alert and protect the Young Master's two Magic Pets!"

"Yes, we guarantee the mission will be completed!"

Dozens of Paladins replied in unison, quickly scattering to take their positions.

In the middle of the formation, the Slime looked at the dense swarm of snakes, its small eyes flashing with fanatical light.

"So many Magic Pets gathered together, this is simply a battlefield tailor-made for yours truly!"

"Explosions, explosions, blow them all up!"

The more it spoke, the more excited it became, its short little arms waving wildly in the air.

With that posture, it couldn't wait to rush into the snake swarm right now and slaughter everything.

On the other side, the Little Skeleton kept shrinking behind Zhou Xiong, shivering.

"Lunatic, there are so many Magic Pets here..."

"If you're not careful, you'll die..."

The Slime turned back, looking disdainful.

"What the hell do you know!"

"How can you become stronger without experiencing slaughter?"

"A coward like you will only ever be able to hide behind others and eat dust!"

The Little Skeleton shrank its neck, its voice even quieter.

"You only have output if you're alive; if you die, you have nothing..."

The Slime: "..."

"How did Master summon such a coward like you?"

"Cautious, I call this being cautious!"

The two Magic Pets argued incessantly.

...

Wilderness Villa, Lu Yuan lay on a rocking chair and turned on the monitoring communication button.

"You two, listen up."

"Whoever kills more Magic Pets today gets to eat the rare treasures."

"The one who kills fewer gets nothing to eat."

Hearing about rare treasures, the Slime instantly entered battle mode.

"Where are human rights?"

"Where are the Magic Pets?!"

"Ahhhh! I want to eat a big meal!"

"I'm going to slaughter them until the world turns upside down!!!"

The Little Skeleton's expression became increasingly grave.

The bigger the fish, the rougher the waves! It absolutely could not rush forward for such a dangerous matter.

The Little Skeleton said nothing, took a step back, and shielded the Slime in front of it.

"The Magic Pets have been lured over!"

A Paladin's shout came from the front.

A dozen or so snake-type Magic Pets were driven toward this direction.

"Now, yours truly is very fired up!"

The Slime roared and dove headfirst into the snake swarm.

"Explode!!!"

It frantically whipped itself, and chunks of gelatinous matter splashed out.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Consecutive explosions resounded across the wilderness, flames shot into the sky, and air waves rolled.

The Magic Pets that had been driven over were instantly blown into fragments.

The Paladins were dumbfounded.

"This, this damage, it's too abnormal!"

"As expected of the Young Master's Magic Pet!"

In the blink of an eye, dozens of snake-type Magic Pets were killed instantly.

Of the beast swarm that had been driven over, only a few elite monsters with low health remained.

Just as the Slime was preparing to continue slapping itself, a sound of something breaking through the air suddenly came from behind.

A small, thin white figure suddenly darted out from behind. The Little Skeleton had unknowingly followed behind the Slime.

It gently touched each low-health monster.

Steel—!! Steel—!!! After the bone claw touched the Magic Pet's body, a huge sound of metal clashing would erupt.

Subsequently, those Magic Pets became corpses.

The Slime froze in place, looking at the Little Skeleton in disbelief.

"You stole my kills again!!!"

"You despicable, shameless, lowly bag of bones!"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, you're dead!"

The Little Skeleton hid behind Zhou Xiong, poking out half of its head, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"I really just steeled once."

"Master said, I have to Steel every monster once."

"We cannot disobey Master's orders."

Hearing the Little Skeleton bring up Lu Yuan, the Slime completely broke down.

"Ahhhh!"

"This is the last time, if you dare to steal my kills again, I will really kill you!"

The Little Skeleton immediately cowered. It dared not steal kills again. Instead, it followed behind the other Paladins.

After each elite monster was beaten to low health by these Paladins, the Little Skeleton would touch it.

Steel, steel, steel, steel... Heartsteel (1032 stacks)! Heartsteel (1493 stacks)! Heartsteel (1860 stacks)! Heartsteel (2411 stacks)!

The Heartsteel stacks increased rapidly. Health points were skyrocketing! Killing monsters above its level, experience points were rising crazily.

"Damn it, you sneaky bastard!"

The Slime immediately felt a sense of crisis. It dared not talk nonsense anymore and began to crazily Self-destruct to farm monsters.

Zhou Xiong also saw the decisiveness of the Little Skeleton's move just now, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

This Little Skeleton... As expected, every one of the Young Master's Magic Pets is not simple.

...

Meanwhile. Wilderness Villa. In Lu Yuan's mind, system notifications kept flooding the screen.

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed Fire Python, gained +187 EXP]

[Your Magic Pet 'Skeleton Soldier' killed Elite Ouroboros Snake, gained +300 EXP]

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed Red-Lian Snake, gained +92 EXP]

[Your Magic Pet 'Skeleton Soldier' killed Elite Red-Lian Snake, gained +320 EXP]

[...]

Experience points were rising rapidly. Soon, a golden light rose from his body.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching LV.11 (1%)]

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"I leveled up just like that?"

"Not bad, not bad..."

He opened his mouth, and the maid immediately handed over a piece of sliced spiritual fruit.

"This is the life..."

Bai Zhi, who was on the side, looked at the two bickering Magic Pets on the light screen, the corner of her mouth twitching violently.

This Little Skeleton was actually able to frequently snatch elite monsters from the Slime's hands.

The Little Skeleton looked very cowardly on the surface. In reality, every time it made a move, it was the best timing. It seemed as if it had all been planned.

Bai Zhi thought of the introduction to Skeleton Soldiers in the official Magic Pet database.

"Young Master, the Skeleton Soldier race is an extremely fragile type of Magic Pet."

"Precisely because of this, in order to survive, every Skeleton Soldier has a very cautious personality."

"So, this Little Skeleton isn't really cowardly. It's just cautious!"

"And it is very smart, hiding itself well, not revealing any sharpness. It waits for the right moment and strikes decisively! It steals kills to increase its own level."

Listening to Bai Zhi's explanation, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"So it's a sneaky bastard."

"Not bad, this kind of personality is easier to nurture."

Lu Yuan yawned and found a more comfortable position.

"You two little guys, keep up the good work."

"I'm going to take a nap first."
