27: Chapter 27 I stole the head with my own skill, why should it be yours?

Green Python Mountain Range.

Xu Qianqian was frantically grinding monsters, chanting spells continuously, releasing wave after wave of magical light.

"Roar!"

A giant python with black fur on its back lunged at her.

Xu Qianqian performed a backflip, creating distance.

She parted her lips.

"Flame Great Fireball Technique!"

A fireball the size of a washbasin shot from the tip of her staff, accurately striking the black-furred python's body.

Boom—!

Accompanied by a massive roar.

The black-furred python slammed heavily onto the ground, struggled twice, and then stopped moving.

-241

"Miss is mighty!"

"It's only been a few days since she changed classes, and Miss has already learned the advanced skill of the Fireball Technique. It's too amazing."

"And it caused nearly 250 points of damage in one hit."

"Too strong!"

The Demon Suppression Army soldiers behind her spoke one after another, filled with genuine admiration.

Xu Qianqian, however, did not feel the slightest bit proud.

She knew very well how powerful her competitor was.

Just then, a Demon Suppression Guard received news from below.

"Miss, Lu Yuan is still at the Wilderness Villa at the foot of the mountain. He did not come up the mountain."

"But his two Magic Pets were taken into the beast tide by Zhou Xiong of the Paladin Guild to level up."

Xu Qianqian was stunned for a moment.

Then she shook her head helplessly.

"That is indeed something that guy would do."

She leaned against a tree trunk and looked up at the valley in the distance, which was surrounded by the snake tide.

Even as proud as she was, she had to admit it.

Lu Yuan was a true genius.

Because he could always easily accomplish things that others couldn't do even with all their might.

Xu Qianqian gripped her staff, a more intense fighting spirit igniting in her eyes.

"Therefore, I absolutely cannot lose to him!"

...

Meanwhile.

The Wilderness Villa at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes groggily.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sky had already darkened.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire wilderness golden yellow.

He stretched and subconsciously looked at the system panel.

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed 'Black-furred Snake', EXP +301.]

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed 'Golden-scaled Snake', EXP +411.]

[Your Magic Pet 'Little Skeleton' killed 'Elite · Black Jade Snake', EXP +941.]

[Your Magic Pet...]

[You have leveled up, current level 13.]

"Huh?!"

Waking up from a death-like sleep, it turns out I am the protagonist of an overpowered novel.

Lu Yuan sat up abruptly, looking at the dense experience notifications with some shock.

"Level 13?"

Unexpectedly, just by taking a nap, he had leveled up twice.

"Not bad, not bad."

"These two little guys are quite capable."

Bai Zhi seeing Lu Yuan wake up, walked over.

"Young Master, the situation with the beast tide has stabilized."

"The snake-type monsters are no longer sweeping around but have occupied the entire Green Python Mountain Range."

"According to the current situation, low-level monsters on the periphery are becoming fewer, and most of the remaining monsters are between level 20 and level 30."

"The experience points are higher, but the danger is also greater."

Lu Yuan put down his cup, stood up, and stretched.

"Then let's go into the mountain."

Bai Zhi was stunned.

"Young Master wants to enter the mountain personally?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

Although he was very lazy.

He also wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of existence could trigger a beast tide of this scale.

...

Green Python Mountain Range,

Slime was extremely dissatisfied.

"Every time, you only let in these few monsters."

"It's not even enough to fill the gaps between this King Slime's teeth!"

"This King Slime wants to fight a hundred!"

Zhou Xiong's mouth twitched.

After this day, he had thoroughly witnessed the combat power of this Slime.

It was indeed very strong.

"Let more monsters in."

The Paladins in front immediately scattered.

The next second—

Rumble!!!

The ground was shaking.

Dense swarms of snake-type monsters surged in from all directions.

At least seventy or eighty of them, and there were several elite monsters with exceptionally huge sizes!

Zhou Xiong's expression turned solemn, ready to strike at any moment.

Slime did not rush up immediately.

Instead, it glanced at Little Skeleton.

It must not let this old guy steal the kill.

Slime took a deep breath, a flash of ruthlessness in its eyes.

Its short hands tore off its own entire body.

It threw itself into the monster horde.

Boom—!!!

An explosion like a Cataclysm.

A blinding white light burst forth.

The entire area was instantly swallowed by flames.

The shockwave spread madly, the ground cracked inch by inch, and rubble and dust were kicked up more than ten meters high.

The terrifying energy turned into a small mushroom cloud that shot into the sky.

-3103!

-3103!

-3103!

...

Zhou Xiong was pushed back two steps by this blast of air, his pupils shrinking.

This power...

Slime's damage has increased again!

Even a level 30 professional wouldn't have this kind of explosive power.

It's too exaggerated!

Moreover, different monsters have different damage reduction capabilities.

Why is the damage value Slime deals every time exactly the same?

This was a doubt that had always existed in Zhou Xiong's heart.

After Slime's Self-destruct, the body parts that were blown away began to slowly crawl toward the main body...

Finally, they merged together bit by bit.

It returned to its original appearance.

Only its size had become much smaller.

It stood on a pile of charred monster corpses and laughed arrogantly.

"Who else!!!"

Just then,

A thin white figure darted out from behind it.

The speed was astonishingly fast.

Steel—!

-623

[HP +62]

Steel—!!

-603

[HP +60]

It was still that familiar sound.

The remaining two level 20 elite monsters had their lives harvested by Little Skeleton in an instant.

Slime froze in place.

Its small eyes stared fixedly at the two elite monsters that had already turned into corpses.

Then—

It slowly turned toward Little Skeleton, enunciating each word.

"You stole my kill again!!!"

Little Skeleton's expression did not change.

"I stole the kill with my own ability, why should it be yours?"

With the increase in strength.

Although Little Skeleton's personality hadn't changed, its speech was becoming increasingly tough.

Slime's expression turned completely cold.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"It seems you are really looking for death."

"If this King Slime doesn't blow you up today, you probably won't know how many eyes the King of Hell has."

Slime had completely lost its mind.

It didn't care about anything else and slapped itself directly.

A small piece of Slime flew toward Little Skeleton.

Little Skeleton, however, just stood there, quietly watching this scene.

After observing for this period of time.

Little Skeleton had long discovered the key weakness of Slime's skill.

Slime explosion has a prerequisite.

As long as it didn't touch the Slime, it wouldn't be attacked.

"Idiot," Slime sneered.

Did you really think this King Slime's signature move could be countered so easily?

Slime hugged the Slime tissue, attacking the Slime while rushing toward Little Skeleton.

It directly stuffed the Slime onto Little Skeleton.

Boom!!

-3103!

Accompanied by the sound of the explosion, a damage number slowly floated above Little Skeleton's head.

The health bar above Little Skeleton's head appeared in front of everyone for the first time.

It had already exceeded 6000 points!

Everyone opened their mouths in disbelief, looking at that excessively long health bar.

"How is that possible?"

Zhou Xiong was somewhat incredulous.

"When did this Little Skeleton's HP get so high?"

"And, it seems to have grown taller too."

At this moment, Little Skeleton was already close to 1.6 meters tall.

Slime was also dumbfounded.

What?

Is this still that fragile Skeleton Soldier?

The ability the Master bestowed upon this coward is indeed very perverted.

It must be careful not to be surpassed by this coward.

...

Just then,

"Alright."

A calm voice came from the mountain forest in the distance.

A man and a woman,

Two slender figures walked slowly from the foot of the mountain.

Lu Yuan patted Slime's head.

"Stop arguing."

"Slime, didn't I tell you? As the big brother, you should take care of your little brother and let Little Skeleton have the kills. Have you forgotten our plan for foot baths and massages?"

"And you, Little Skeleton, you should also restrain yourself. Without Slime attracting the monsters' firepower in front, could you stack Heartsteel painlessly?"

Slime and Little Skeleton didn't listen at all.

They stared fixedly at each other, invisible sparks constantly colliding in mid-air.

Neither was willing to show weakness.

Lu Yuan rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat helpless.

Why did the two Magic Pets start fighting?

Just when Lu Yuan was troubled and didn't know how to coax the two Magic Pets.

"Roar~~!!"

Deep in the mountain range,

Suddenly, a melodious and majestic dragon roar echoed.
