30: Chapter 30 A thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole

"Bang!"

The Slime traced a perfect parabola across the cliff.

It smashed against a cold snake body, then bounced high into the air, continuing its descent.

Finally, it fell into the very bottom of the snake nest.

The surroundings were dim, and a foul, fishy stench rushed toward it.

Pairs of ghostly green snake eyes flickered in the darkness.

"Master..."

The Slime raised its head, trembling, and looked up at the cliff.

The Slime broke down.

"Master, help me!"

"I was just trying to act cool!"

"How could you actually throw me in here?!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~"

All around, countless cold, vertical pupils slowly turned toward it.

Snake heads rose, fangs glinted, and tongues flickered.

The Slime's small eyes widened, bit by bit.

"I think... we can talk about this..."

On the cliff, everyone was stunned.

Bai Zhi's face turned pale, and she looked anxious.

"Young Master... why did you throw the Slime in?"

Zhou Xiong also furrowed his brows.

With so many monsters, how could a level-ten-something Slime possibly survive?

Young Master Lu... was actually this kind of person.

Everyone's gaze toward Lu Yuan became filled with more vigilance.

A Magic Pet is a Summoner's partner and comrade-in-arms!

How could someone who so easily betrays a comrade be worth them risking their lives for?

Celia frowned slightly; she also didn't understand why Lu Yuan would throw the Slime in.

However, that wasn't important; she raised her hand, and a ball of golden flame condensed in her palm.

The golden flame transformed into a pillar of fire, shooting straight into the snake nest.

Boom—!

The holy fire exploded in the snake nest, instantly burning dozens of snake-type monsters to death.

But the next second—

More snakes swarmed up.

Dense and endless.

They frantically filled the cleared area, completely submerging the Slime.

Celia frowned slightly.

"There are too many monsters."

Bai Zhi's gaze was grave; she waved her hand and summoned several imposing Magic Pets.

"No matter what, we cannot just watch the Slime die in there."

Once a Summoner's Magic Pet dies, it's finished!!

In Celia's eyes, white flames flickered.

"Then let's fight our way in."

Upon hearing this, the entire cliff fell into a deathly silence.

Those Holy Knights looked at each other; no one was willing to speak.

The reason was simple: a Magic Pet is a Summoner's closest comrade and family!

They were unwilling to give up their own lives for a Young Master who disregarded the life of his Magic Pet.

Zhou Xiong was also resistant. "There are too many monsters; even if we go in, it will be too late."

"The Slime... is doomed."

Only Bai Zhi remained composed, walking to the edge of the cliff.

"I'll go!"

"Young Master, I will go help you save the Slime."

Celia didn't speak, but she also stood at the edge of the cliff.

Lu Yuan hurriedly grabbed both of them.

"Don't be impulsive."

"Rest assured, the Slime will be fine."

Unlike the despair of the others, Lu Yuan, the person involved, appeared unusually calm.

Celia and Bai Zhi exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.

They didn't understand where Lu Yuan got this confidence from.

Just then, "Boom!!" "Boom!!" "Boom..."

The Slime was surrounded and attacked by a large number of snake-type monsters.

Fortunately, the Self-destruct fear effect granted by the Jester Academy prevented the Slime from being killed instantly.

But it was useless.

With the sounds of Self-destruct, more and more sleeping monsters were awakened and began to attack the Slime frantically.

No matter how high its HP was, it couldn't withstand such an onslaught.

[HP: 12790 / 25321]

[HP: 5876 / 25321]

[HP: 0 / 25321]

Soon, the HP reached zero.

The Slime's entire body began to expand violently.

Then it exploded with a bang, turning into countless gelatinous fragments that splattered in all directions.

Like raindrops, they scattered into every corner of the snake nest.

On the mountaintop, everyone was stunned.

The Slime... died?

Zhou Xiong closed his eyes, unable to bear watching any longer.

The Little Skeleton slumped on the ground, its two ghost fires flickering frantically.

It knelt directly on the ground and hugged Lu Yuan's thigh.

"Master, don't throw me away."

"I'll be obedient, I'll be obedient..."

Just then, Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Tens of thousands of explosions occurred simultaneously.

The entire Green Python Mountain Range trembled slightly.

The Slime Slime that had scattered everywhere exploded in the same instant.

The entire bottom of the snake nest was engulfed in flames.

Terrifying energy raged wildly in the snake nest, turning into a massive beam of light that shot into the sky.

- 3812! - 4431! - 4210!

Area of Effect attack, True Damage.

Damage stacked time and time again.

No matter the level of the monster, as long as it touched the light of the flames, it would be killed instantly.

The dense mass of snake-type monsters fell layer by layer, like dominoes.

The entire snake nest began to collapse from the bottom.

In just a few seconds, it turned into ruins.

On the cliff, everyone was stunned by this shocking scene.

The snake nest... collapsed.

"This..."

Zhou Xiong's eyes widened like copper bells, his mouth agape, unable to speak for a long time.

A complex light flashed in Celia's golden eyes.

The Slime's life aura had disappeared.

It had destroyed the entire snake nest with its life.

It had disrupted the BOSS's sacrificial ritual.

Bai Zhi's beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

"The Slime's Self-destruct... actually has this kind of power?"

But precisely because of this, the Slime's death was even less worthwhile.

Lu Yuan's panel was instantly flooded with various EXP rewards.

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed a level 32 Black Scale Snake, EXP + 1932]

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed a level 13 Green Snake, EXP + 101]

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed...]

In an instant, three beams of golden light rose from Lu Yuan's body in succession.

[Level: 17 (2%)]

He leveled up, and it was three levels in a row.

Little Skeleton also gained a very small portion of EXP through sharing.

It successfully leveled up to 10.

But even so, the others still didn't understand.

Celia frowned deeply and looked at Lu Yuan.

"Young Master, the death of a Magic Pet is a fatal blow to a Summoner."

"You will lose a Magic Pet forever."

"Even your soul will be severely damaged..."

She had grown up with Lu Yuan since she was a child.

Lu Yuan wasn't that kind of person, but why?

No, Celia suddenly froze, looking at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

There was no soul backlash!

How is this possible?

Lu Yuan gently patted Celia's head and smiled slightly.

"I said, the Slime will be fine."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Snap."

He silently thought in his heart: Resurrect.

A round, soft, and bouncy blue jelly appeared out of thin air in Lu Yuan's palm.
