From Ant to Abyssal Demon - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Disaster of the Slime!

A few seconds later, the mouse stopped struggling.

At this point, Su Bai relaxed and his reinforced mandibles tore off a large piece of flesh from the mouse’s body, slowly eating.

[Eating… gained 5 points of experience…]

[Eating… gained 6 points of experience…]

[Ding! You have consumed mouse flesh, gaining 1 point of mouse genes.]

[Eating… gained 4 points of experience…]

—

The fat mouse, several dozen centimeters long, took Su Bai half an hour to devour, turning into nutrients for his evolution.

At this point, his second panel had changed.

【Gene Points】: Mouse genes 10 points, Frog genes 7 points, Cricket genes 9 points…

【Evolution Points】: 9 points

【Skill Fragments】: None

Devouring the mouse brought him 10 points of mouse genes and 4 evolution points, bringing his evolution points to 9, just 1 point short of opening his second evolution.

In addition, Su Bai’s attributes had slightly increased.

Strength increased from 0.7 to 0.8, agility from 0.4 to 0.6, constitution from 0.5 to 0.6, and spirit from 1.2 to 1.4.

Even his size had increased from 5 centimeters to 7 centimeters.

“It’s a pity, just a bit short,” after checking his own changes, Su Bai regretfully said.

Devouring a complete mouse couldn’t compare to the second evolution.

The experience gained from devouring the mouse only slightly increased his four-dimensional attributes, but the second evolution could potentially make his four-dimensional attributes leap again, surpassing the lower limit of level 1 monsters!

“Fortunately, it’s just a bit short.”

With 1 evolution point, as long as Su Bai found another frog or mouse to devour, he could obtain it, which made him feel much more relaxed.

With this experience, Su Bai knew that hunting frogs or mice was already a very simple matter for him.

After finishing the last bit of flesh, Su Bai crawled back to the ant nest along the same path.

The night was deep.

Most of the creatures had already quieted down, and it wasn’t a good time for hunting.

He should also go back and rest.

—

A few minutes later, before Su Bai returned to his newly excavated nest, he saw a creature outside the ant nest.

It was a creature devouring ants.

Nearly twenty centimeters tall, its body was like a filthy jelly. At this moment, this jelly would occasionally jump up, letting its soft body collide with the exit of the ant nest!

Every time it collided, dozens of ants would stick to the jelly, then sink into its body like a jelly, slowly dissolving them.

Slime!

As an existence at the Tiny level, the ants in this forest had no natural enemies. There were rarely any creatures in the forest that treated ants as food.

The only exception was the slime!

The slime could be said to be the natural enemy of all insects in the forest.

As a creature without independent consciousness, only survival instincts, the slime had excellent physical resistance. Physical attacks that weren’t strong enough would be offset by the slime’s soft body, and physical attacks beyond a certain limit would cause the slime to split.

The split slime wouldn’t die but would become multiple slimes, continuing to propagate in the forest.

For powerful creatures in the forest, slime was just food. For insects, slime was an irresistible existence and their greatest enemy in this forest!

For insects at the Tiny and Dim levels, just getting close to the slime would stick them to its body with its mucus, slowly wrapping them into its jelly-like body, digesting and absorbing them, completely unable to cause any harm to the slime.

Even creatures like frogs, mice, and small birds would only retreat when faced with the slime.

Most importantly, the slime was already a real monster!

Even if it was just the lowest level, a level 1 monster, the slime surpassed the Tiny and Dim levels and became a true monster!

Su Bai didn’t know where this slime came from.

He only knew that if left unchecked, there would be only two outcomes.

Either the slime would eat its fill and leave on its own, causing significant damage to the ant nest; or the slime would stay here and continue to produce endlessly, resisting the slime’s attacks without intelligence, eventually leading to the extinction of the ants.

To fight or not to fight, that was the question.

Just hesitating for a moment, Su Bai was ready to join the battle.

After a few days, he had developed some affection for the ant nest. Moreover, he couldn’t bear to see the worker ants that had been taking care of him being eaten by the slime. If the slime continued to ravage, it would eventually be the turn of the worker ants to join the battle.

Most importantly…

The slimy body of the slime was invincible to other insects, but its effect on Su Bai was not significant.

His strength was enough to counteract the adhesive force of the soft body, and his devouring evolution talent was the nemesis of the slime!

No matter how strong the slime’s survival ability was, when faced with Su Bai’s sharp mandibles and devouring evolution talent, it could only obediently turn into gene points and evolution points, promoting Su Bai’s further growth!

Su Bai had a premonition.

Devouring this slime would make his second evolution even more perfect!

Thinking of this, Su Bai no longer hesitated.

He rushed forward and pounced on the soft body of the slime. His sharp mandibles fiercely bit down, tearing off a piece of jelly-like flesh and swallowing it.

The next moment, a large number of subtitles refreshed from his attribute panel!

[Eating… gained 10 points of experience…]

[Eating… gained 8 points of experience…]

[Ding! You have consumed slime flesh, gaining 1 point of slime genes.]

[Ding! Your carapace has been corroded by slime mucus, decreasing in strength…]

[【Adaptability】 talent activated… you gained a skill fragment.]
