126: Horrifying! The slime is out of control!

"What are you looking at?"

It was now the Consultant's turn for his curiosity to explode.

He moved closer to Black Marsh, looking forward with him.

But from his perspective, aside from some dilapidated houses, there were only green plants that completely obstructed his view, even covering half the sky.

"Human, did you hear anything?"

After waiting a few seconds, Black Marsh finally spoke, deep in thought.

"What sound?"

The Consultant pricked up his ears in confusion, but heard nothing but the wind.

He frowned, looked at Black Marsh, and questioned, "Are you messing with me?"

Black Marsh shook his head, looked forward again, and after a few seconds of silence, suddenly said:

"It's a person!"

"A person?" The Consultant was startled, stretching his neck to look ahead, but saw nothing.

However, the Consultant knew that Black Marsh, as a black snake, had perception abilities far exceeding his own.

Furthermore, the Consultant had come here primarily to investigate the people who had gone missing.

"Then let's go take a look." He walked forward.

But what the Consultant didn't expect was that after walking for nearly ten minutes, let alone people, he hadn't even seen a magical beast.

Just as he began to doubt Black Marsh's perception ability, a faint sound suddenly came from ahead.

"Help!"

"Is anyone there? Help!"

The sound came with the wind, very faint, but it was indeed a human voice!

"Holy crap, there really is someone?!"

The Consultant's heart jumped in surprise. Without another word, he quickly sped forward.

After passing through a dilapidated residential area, the Consultant's gaze fell upon a ruin.

There were two children there, looking very young, seemingly only twelve or thirteen years old.

They were wearing tattered clothes, and their hands and feet were bound by rusty shackles!

Shackles?!

What's going on?!

But the Consultant didn't have time to ask.

Because in front of these two children was a grotesque monster!

It was a magical beast resembling a hound!

The hound wasn't too big, but it had two heads.

Its two large mouths revealed bone-white fangs, and its four eyes glowed with a bloodthirsty light, staring intently at the two children!

The Consultant immediately moved, rushing like lightning in front of the two children.

At the same time, the grotesque magical beast launched its attack!

"Black Marsh!"

The incident happened so suddenly that the Consultant didn't have time to draw his blade and simply let out a low shout.

Black Marsh, as the Consultant's current 'bodyguard,' was quite competent.

It flew out from the Consultant's sleeve, its body instantly growing several sizes.

"Hehe, a little dog!"

As an Eighth-Order Magical Beast, Black Marsh was full of disdain for the Two-Headed Hound in front of him.

With just a flick of its long tail, it easily blocked the Two-Headed Hound's bite.

The bone-white fangs in its two large mouths couldn't even leave a mark on Black Marsh's scales.

At the same time, the Slime on top of the Consultant's head leaped high, transforming into its Nargacuga form!

In this form, the Slime was far more terrifying than the Two-Headed Hound!

But at this moment, the faces of the two children behind the Consultant instantly turned pale. They hastily retreated a step, huddled together, and trembled incessantly.

The Consultant noticed the children's reaction, and a hint of confusion arose in his heart.

But the immediate priority was to deal with this Two-Headed Hound.

"Duen Dwen, tear it apart!"

At the Consultant's command, the Slime had already pounced in front of the Two-Headed Hound!

In its transformed state, the Slime's aggressiveness was terrifyingly enhanced!

After pouncing on the Two-Headed Hound, it easily tore off one of its heads with a single claw.

Blood instantly splattered, staining the Slime and splashing onto Black Marsh's face.

"Tsk, what the hell, her grandma's..."

Black Marsh quickly shook its body, flicking off the blood, then shrunk its size and returned to the Consultant's side, muttering, "So disgusting!"

The Consultant hadn't realized before that Black Marsh had a cleanliness fetish.

But he wasn't in the mood to tease, because the Slime's current state alarmed him!

With one of its heads torn off, the Two-Headed Hound had clearly suffered a fatal injury.

But the Slime didn't stop, and another claw descended!

Sharp claws traced a cold gleam, instantly disemboweling the Two-Headed Hound!

Then, the Slime did something that surprised the Consultant.

Without the Consultant's command, it pounced on the Two-Headed Hound like a crimson lightning bolt, opening its large mouth and biting the Two-Headed Hound's crystal core.

Like cracking a piece of candy, it bit it apart and swallowed it whole!

[Slime has successfully devoured the Two-Headed Hound's crystal core.]

[This devouring will not affect the Slime's attributes.]

[Slime has gained a new Normal-type skill: Laceration.]

[Laceration: Can easily tear open the enemy's flesh with sharp implements, causing unhealable bleeding damage for a short period.]

[This skill can be released by the Slime, or used by the Beast Tamer!]

"Enough! Duen Dwen, come back!"

The Consultant was not happy about gaining a new skill; instead, he was worried!

After devouring too many crystal cores, especially after transforming into its transformed state, the Slime had already become somewhat uncontrollable.

Although the Consultant could still command the Slime to perform any action.

The Slime in its transformed state clearly had a much stronger desire to attack!

"Is this its personality?"

Only now did the Consultant remember.

Every time the Slime devoured a magical beast crystal core, its personality would change due to the devoured crystal core.

Now the Slime's personality had already shifted to 'Chaotic Neutral'.

If, in the future, the Consultant carelessly fed the Slime any 'unclean' things, it was highly likely he would cultivate a magical beast with a Chaotic Evil personality.

At that time, his Slime would undoubtedly become another 'Black Marsh'!

This was unacceptable to the Consultant, so he immediately restrained the Slime's urge to devour the Two-Headed Hound's corpse.

Fortunately, under the control of the Beast Taming Power, the Slime still obediently followed the Consultant's commands.

Its body shook, transforming back to its original appearance. After rolling a few times on the ground, it lightly bounced and consciously landed on the Consultant's head.

Within its translucent body, a not-yet-fully digested magical beast crystal core dust could be seen gradually integrating into it.

The Consultant patted it, sighed, and thought, it seems that he needs to be careful when feeding it crystal cores in the future.

He turned and looked at the two children behind him, asking with concern.

"Are you two alright?"

The Consultant reached out, intending to check if they were injured.

But unexpectedly, the two children looked at him with fear, trembling and shrinking their bodies.

The visibly older child even protectively pulled the other child behind him!
