Everyone is a hero, but I am a second-year player.

terrible!

This man is born to be a hero, right?!

"Wait... So, Miluko had already noticed this and left here to look for the real body?" Likolina suddenly realized something.

“She is a professional assassin from an assassin family. It is her survival instinct to lie low and observe the situation.

She is young, but don't treat her as an ordinary child." An Yi said.

If Miluko heard these words, she would probably be secretly happy for a long time.

Layton, Licorina: "!!!"

So they both didn't feel anything, right?!

It's not their fault. After all, Likolina and Layton have almost no combat experience. Before being chosen as heroes, it can be said that they had nothing to do with the word "combat".

[The Hero of the Thorn: Found it! ]

Suddenly, a message appeared in the eyes of the three people.

[Sword Hero: Where is the location?

The Stab Hero: Your location is 2000 meters southeast.

It's very risky for me to deal with it alone.

Sword Hero: Then stay where you are and wait for us to arrive. 】

"So far away!" Leighton exclaimed.

This is not twenty meters, nor two hundred meters, but two thousand meters!

It is hard to imagine how huge the other party is, controlling such a large number of tentacles from a distance of two thousand meters!

"The question is which direction is southeast!" Likolina smashed a tentacle and looked around.

She knew that she could determine the direction by relying on the moon, but she had no idea how to do it.

Moreover, let alone the moon, you can’t even see the stars when you look up in this dense forest, all you can see are leaves.

In short, it is impossible to determine the current location!

"Over there." An Yi cut off the tentacles and pointed in a direction.

Before Licolina could react, she was picked up by An Yi.

"boom--!"

The fierce sword wind split the dozens of tentacles that were besieging it and directly opened up a space on the open ground.

An Yi ran out quickly and ran in the direction he had just pointed.

"Mr. Layton, follow me closely. I will clear the way ahead. Your Highness the Saint will cover Mr. Layton's movement."

An Yi made Licolina's butt face forward so that she could face behind her and cover Layton.

"Okay!" Licorina didn't care about the awkward posture.

If you look forward, you can still carry it on your back, but if you look backward, you can only be clamped.

All she could do was trust that An Yi would hold her tight and not let go and let her fall.

Layton's movement speed is far slower than Anyi's. If no one covers him, he will just become a moving sandbag.

"Oh oh oh oh oh--!!!"

Layton rushed forward with his shield raised, shouting excitedly. The sound of the light arrows and tentacles colliding kept ringing in his ears, making his blood boil!

"Be a man! You should charge forward bravely! No matter what difficulties you face, you must face them head-on!

Let these monsters come even harder!! I, Layton, will smash them all to pieces for you to see!!

Hahahahaha——!!!"

Although An Yi couldn't understand why he was so excited, but... well, as long as he had the fighting spirit, it was good.

If a brave man runs at full speed, two thousand meters is only a matter of three or two minutes.

However, with a large group of tentacles blocking the way, and more and more tentacles constantly breaking out of the ground and destroying the road, the two kilometers became out of reach.

"An Yi! My magic power is running out!"

When the magic power value was close to 10%, Likolina shouted to An Yi.

[Sword Hero: Defend where you are! Ms. Miruko comes back to support, and let Her Highness the Saint replenish her magic power. ]

An Yi reacted immediately, paused, and then cut off all the tentacles that were attacking from the front with a sword.

Layton also stopped suddenly beside the two of them, swung his shield to smash several tentacles into pieces, and threw the backpack full of dry food behind him to the ground.

An Yi also quickly put Licorina down.

Licolina immediately rushed over, opened her backpack, grabbed the dry food and started stuffing it into her mouth without caring about her eating manners.

Although they were lagging behind in attributes, An Yi was still very satisfied with their execution.

"Shh-"

A black shadow flashed out from the woods, slid forward and knelt between Anyi and Layton, and finally leaned in front of Likolina.

“I-I…I’m sorry!!”

Licorina held the dry food in both hands, and her mouth was still stuffed full: "?"

"I can't beat these tentacles!!" Miluko apologized.

Her strength attribute is only 1 point, while the Slime King, as a third-level demon, has at least 5 points of defense.

She really wanted to chop off all these tentacles, but she couldn't do it!!

One cut couldn't even break the skin of the tentacle!

I'm such a loser, I might as well just die!

"It doesn't matter. These tentacles can't catch up with you. You just need to attract their attention and share our pressure." An Yi said solemnly.

"I……!"

Miluko's shoulders trembled and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Even though I'm so useless, I can be useful like this?!

"I can never repay your kindness! I will do my best to complete the mission! Even if it means sacrificing my life!" Miluko bowed deeply to Anyi, and the next moment she rushed into the forest.

An Yi: “……?”

You don’t have to make it so serious!

42 Breakthrough? Guard?

Deep in the forest, fierce fighting continues!

Because Miluko attracted firepower, the defensive pressure on Anyi and Layton was reduced a lot.

An Yi used his extremely skilled swordsmanship to cut off every attacking tentacle, preventing the opponent from getting close!

Layton often only cares about his head and not his butt, blocking the front and getting hit from behind, but he is also trying his best to resist the attacks of the tentacles!

And Licorina——

Licolina is still eating! She is still eating! She is still stuffing dry food into her mouth!

Oh my god! She didn't even drink a drop of water and stuffed her mouth full of dry food! Isn't she afraid of choking to death? !

I'm not really afraid. My [Gluttony] skill won't waste a single bite of food. As long as the food is big enough to swallow, I won't choke.

So the tears in Licolina's eyes at this moment were not because she was choking.

"Why is the magic power recovering so slowly?!"

Licorina was about to cry.

She sat there showing off her dry food for a long time, and the ultimate magic bar only increased slightly.

All in all, she probably recovered over 300 mana points, and it’s unknown how long it will take for her magic points to be fully restored.

In fact, this is normal, because she ate the meals carefully prepared by the villagers in the village, and it took her a full three hours to recover to full health.

If you pour the whole pot of food into your mouth without caring about your image, you may recover much faster, but it will still take more than an hour.

The dry food in the backpack was originally a temporary preparation, and the quality was average, so there was basically no need to consider how much magic power it could restore.

Along the way, Likolina ate as she walked, and because of her high magic attribute, her magic consumption was relatively low, so she was able to recover.

But now in this predicament, it is impossible for her to recover a large amount of magic power in a short period of time!

[Holy Hero: My magic power is recovering so slowly! What should I do?!]

Her mouth was full of dry food, and she did not stop swallowing while sending the message, so her little mouth had no time to speak.

"It's okay! I can still hold on for a long time!!" Layton roared in shock, and then was slapped on the back by the tentacles.

[Health value-2]

Layton mentioned two skills before, one is taunt, and the other is to increase one's own defense for a short period of time.

In fact, if he used the skill again, he would also show off like Likolina holding the dry food bag, but he still chose to give Likolina confidence!

[Sword Hero: It will be disadvantageous for us to delay like this.

We only have two options: break through or continue to hold on.

Break through and rush to where the main body is, then kill it.

This requires Her Highness the Saint to rely on the remaining magic power to cover Mr. Layton's movement.

And some magic power must be retained to deal with the tentacles themselves.

To continue holding on means to wait until Her Highness the Saint recovers some of her magic power before moving forward.

This will cost the three of us a lot of energy. Even if we break through to where our main body is, we will still have to rely on Her Highness the Saint to kill the other party. 】

[Holy Brave: Breakthrough! ]

Licolina immediately gave her choice.

The reason was simple. With her current magic power recovery rate, she didn't think she could replenish much magic power.

He didn't even think that he could cause fatal damage to the enemy once he replenished his magic power.

[The Thorn Hero: I also want to break through.

I accidentally saw that these tentacles would grow back after they were broken off.

Their wounds will form a slime-like gel, which will turn flesh-colored after the broken parts are restored.

The colors of these tentacles are the slime's camouflage.

If the enemy is a slime, it will have a core, and you can kill it by destroying the core. 】

"Slime...?"

Likolina's hand holding the dry food paused and she stood there in a daze.

Slime?

It's actually a slime?!

No wonder he didn’t show any pain after his tentacles were burned!

Moreover, these tentacles appear continuously and cannot be cut off at all!

It turns out that the main body is a slime? !

[Sword Hero: Very good, this is very important information.

The Hero of the Thorn: I’m sorry! 】

An Yi: “?”

What happened again?

Miluko actually didn't want to share this information at the first moment.

She wanted to perform a heroic act and destroy the core of the other party before they realized that their true form was a slime.
