Soon, Shami arrived not far from the so-called Minotaur outpost.
Calling it an outpost made it sound more like a medium-sized watchpoint.
Inside, there were more than twenty Minotaurs.
A human, a Minotaur, and a Slime hid behind the hill, quietly observing the situation over there.
"If you knock down all these Minotaurs, you could probably level up four or five levels."
Shami patted the Pink Minotaur beside him.
"Go on, charge over and let them taste the power of pure love horns!"
"Master Shami, I’m just a supporter of pure love, not an idiot."
The Pink Minotaur shook his head, looking solemn.
"There are more than twenty Minotaurs over there. If I charge in alone, assuming I can handle ten, what about the rest?"
Indeed, in terms of numbers, the other side held an absolute advantage.
Even for a Minotaur Chief, expecting the Pink Minotaur Chief to handle over twenty was clearly overestimating a level 2’s strength.
Shami thought for a moment and arranged, "In that case, Jelly, you go as well. You’ve been lingering at level 43 for a while, let’s see if you can get to level 44 this time."
Slime Jelly was full of energy.
"Isn’t it too much for just me and Jelly?"
"Don’t underestimate Jelly, Pink Moo Moo! Just because it looks cute doesn’t mean it lacks combat power. It’s the Slime Tribe’s leader!"
A Minotaur and a Slime approached the outpost, while Shami stayed behind to observe the battlefield and keep an eye on the surroundings.
Since a Minotaur Tribe watchpoint appeared here, it indicated that there was likely a major Minotaur base nearby.
There might even be other monsters.
Realizing this, Shami thought he still had too few subordinates and needed to speed up reviving monsters.
The appearance of the Pink Minotaur and the Giant Slime quickly drew attention.
Green Minotaurs began to walk forward, and the sight of the Pink Minotaur resembled a glowing pink statue, rendering the Minotaurs transfixed.
A burly Green Minotaur emerged from a tent.
Judging by how the other Minotaurs stepped aside to make way, this nearly three-meter tall Green Minotaur with numerous scars must be the leader here.
"Pink Minotaur? Slime?"
The Scarred Minotaur inquired.
The Pink Minotaur quickly interrupted the clichéd confrontation process.
"Let me just ask, between a married woman and a cute girl, which do you choose?"
The Minotaurs burst into mooing laughter.
"It has to be the former!"
"The husband too, in front of the wife!"
The Pink Minotaur immediately confirmed his target.
Though the creatures in front of him were also Minotaurs, their paths diverged. Ideologically, they were already two completely different species.
"Jelly, I’ll leave that side to you!"
The Pink Minotaur picked up a piece of wood beside him and charged into the sea of Green Minotaurs.
[Equipment: A Chunk of Wood]
"Oh, oh, here we go. Let me see how Minotaurs battle each other."
In the rear, Shami watched with interest.
The Pink Minotaur seemed to step into a pool formed by green ink, soon besieged by over a dozen Green Minotaurs, but relying on his skill, barely maintaining a fifty-fifty fight.
Finally retreating for a moment of respite, the Pink Minotaur worriedly glanced to the other side.
"Sure enough, they still have the numbers advantage, Jelly, how’s it going over there... huh! One Slime actually surrounded all the Minotaurs!..."
On the other side, seven or eight Minotaurs were encircled in the center by Jelly, who was lightly bouncing up and down around them.
As Jelly’s jumping speed gradually increased, along with lateral speed, a circle of Slime afterimages formed around it.
When the speed accelerated to an indescribable level, it was as if a ring of Slimes encircled the Minotaurs.
"Using such fast speeds to move swiftly and form illusions, finally achieving a clone effect. This not only tests speed but also the Slime’s body control! To pull off such a move with a four-meter physique, Jelly is terrifying beyond measure!"
The Pink Minotaur was astonished.
[This is the Slime Secret Skill: Repeated Leaps of the Clone Technique!]
"Jelly, you’re secretly creating some kind of Ninjutsu techniques again, aren’t you? Just be a good Slime Leader!"
The demon king watching from the back joked.
The surrounded Minotaurs were bewildered, and one just tried to break through with brute force, only to bounce back upon hitting the real Jelly.
After several failed charges, the Minotaurs dared not act rashly.
And at that moment, the Slime mirage wall vanished too.
The next moment, a massive shadow loomed over the Minotaurs.
The shadow belonged to Jelly, leaping high into the air.
"Here it comes, Slime’s Shadow Clone Technique! Haven’t seen this in a while, I’m a bit nostalgic for the scene!"
[Slime Secret Technique: Multiplication Technique!]
The giant blue Slime in the air inflated, as the tiny Slimes inside expanded, causing Jelly’s whole body to grow larger. In seconds, its size nearly doubled.
"So it’s not the Shadow Clone Technique?! Using the tiny Slimes inside to inflate them, thus enlarging the entire body to form gigantism! Jelly, could you be a genius?!"
The elliptical giant Slime, with a radius of four meters, crashed to the ground like a small hill.
Instantly, dust flew and Minotaurs flipped.
Faced with a 43-level Slime Leader, the eight 4-5 level Minotaur Warriors stood no chance.
The Pink Minotaur swallowed in shock.
None of the moves were what he expected.
"Since Jelly is so impressive, I can’t let the pure love party down either."
The Pink Minotaur picked up an axe beside him and charged back into the Green Minotaur crowd.
[Equipment: A Bloodstained Great Axe]
After several fierce battles, the Pink Minotaur retreated again.
"Darn, they’re really tough opponents!"
Facing fellow Minotaurs and those four to five levels higher, the Pink Minotaur couldn’t gain the upper hand, but his fighting spirit soared, and with the axe gone, he picked up a horn beside him and charged into the Minotaur crowd again.
[Equipment: A Horn Just Dropped from a Minotaur Corpse]
"Wait! Why does this bull always find weapons around him! And the last one is clearly a fellow’s horn!"
Shami hastily checked the Pink Minotaur’s panel.
[Aura Skill: Pink Minotaur Chief’s Luck]
[Effect: When without a designated weapon, finds different types of weapons nearby at intervals.]
"What an incredible skill, Pink Moo Moo!"
Pink Moo Moo battled one against ten, like a pink whirlwind, growing more courageous with each fight.
The Scarred Minotaur hadn’t acted yet, and seeing his comrades fall one by one, he became increasingly uneasy.
Especially the cute Slime, which he was sure he couldn’t defeat.
Realizing the situation was turning bad, the Scarred Minotaur led the remaining subordinates to flee hurriedly.
Jelly and the Pink Minotaur together took down 17 ordinary Green Minotaurs.
Jelly defeated 12, and the Pink Minotaur 5.
Jelly’s level: 43 → 44
Pink Minotaur’s level: 2 → 5
"Overall, this battle wasn’t bad, except for some strange skills..."
Shami walked over from behind, eyeing the two creatures curiously.
The endearing Jelly hopped over to nuzzle Shami, who extended a hand to pat its surface.
The Pink Minotaur suddenly kneeled.
"Lord Shami, please bestow this honor upon me as well."
"No way! That’s too strange!"
Patting a rough two-meter-tall Pink Minotaur, it was odd no matter how you looked at it!
"Touching the horn is the highest honor a demon king can bestow upon a brave Minotaur Warrior, Lord Shami."
Hearing this, Shami obliged, touching the Minotaur’s horn while checking the loyalty of the two creatures.
[Slime Jelly Loyalty: 98]
[Minotaur Chief Loyalty: 90]
Haha, it’s still higher than that flat golden retriever! (annoyance)
