Volume 11, Chapter 32: Mountain Graveyard Body

Translator: Zhaernon

After a short walk along the tunnel where the explosion took place, we went inside a tunnel that looked like it was artificially polished.

Turner walked up to the wall and then touched the top of it.

"Strange..." He said to himself.

"This grinding... it doesn't look like it was made for a living person..."

"A living person?"

"Yeah... I also used to explore the western deadlands with a gravedigger, where a number of people had died outside and inside the city. But before they died, they built all sorts of large cemeteries there, probably hoping to have a better life after their own death. Well, when we got there, we were trapped in a dead city by some beasts, and we escaped through the cemetery tunnel they built, which took us a long time to get out. That's the way those walls were polished back then."

"In other words, we are now inside a cemetery?"

Alexia laughed.

"Isn't this similar to our hospital morgue?"

"Not at all, okay?" I laughed bitterly.

"It's a permanent morgue and the average person who comes in here can't get out."

I looked down the dark tunnel and then at Turner.

"I didn't think we would accidentally become tomb robbers, but who out of you has a Luoyang Shovel?"

"What's that?"

Everyone looked confused and I let myself feel embarrassed a bit.

"So you're still in the habit of reading novels, huh?"

Instead, Teacher Mary responded immediately.

"But that was a popular book a long time ago, wasn't it? Where did you find it?"

"Online, right? I don't remember very well either."

A long time ago? Why do I think it's a book from not too long ago?

Probably why people like me often don't take their time seriously, right?

"Then Mr. Turner must be pretty experienced with places like this? Then I'll let you lead the way on this stretch?"

"This..."

The other looked at us and smiled.

"It's not like I'm putting it off, you know I was also led by someone else before. I only know a little bit about those kinds of places."

"I say: don't rely on an inkling. You know this cemetery is the place that made dragons come. If we don't hurry, the people behind us will catch up, and then we won't be the only ones to suffer."

"Er..."

Turner's brow furrowed and he didn't know what to think, nodding at last.

"Okay, let's go. But I can't make sure which way is right. Like I said, I'm really only an amateur."

"All right, all right, I know."

With that, Turner turned around and walked ahead. And the rest of us followed, heading straight into the depths of the tunnel.

As we walked, I started to feel a little strange.

Usually, cemeteries don't make their passageways too big; after all, they didn't intend for people to enter or leave when they designed them.

However, the passage in front of us was different, it was quite narrow at first, but after we walked for quite some time, it slowly started to get bigger.

Just as I was about to ask something, Turner suddenly stopped.

"Hey... you..."

I was about to ask something when all of a sudden, Island next to me started slashing at the wall!

The slashing was still quiet, but after a while, dark green blood flowed out from where we had just slashed, while a slimy creature that looked like a Slime slid down the wall.

I can't believe I didn't notice a beast here? Isn't that thing’s camouflage too powerful?

"Well, even the disgusting beasts from the district tried to sneak up on us, but unfortunately they couldn't escape my eyes."

"Strange? Isn't that a Slime?"

Asked Sa Meixi standing next to him.

"Isn't this creature practically unkillable with physical attacks?"

"You know this is a Slime, Miss, and it seems you are someone who walks in the woods often. You're right, it is indeed a Slime, but it's not a normal one. It's an 'anamorphic Slime'. They can use the same skills as normal Slimes, but they also have an additional mimetic ability that allows them to blend in with their surroundings and then disappear their breath. That way, they can sneak up on incoming humans."

"So you're..."

"That's why I can kill it." Island said with a smile.

"Because the mimetic ability has to manifest the mimetic state as well it will sometimes take on the properties of a solid state. And that's when attacking their already hardened core can kill them."

"Actually, since you already said so much, an ice magic can turn them into ice and then you can shatter them with a single knock." Teacher Mary said rudely.

Hey, why are you so rude, I was just about to say that.

Island laughed and put away the knife.

"Well, everyone's pretty bored anyway..."

And just then, a scream suddenly came from the distance.

From the sound, it seemed to be coming from behind us.

"Oh no, someone is already in!" Alexia said.

"I just put a potion in the doorway that will blind people for a short time. And the sound just now probably means someone's been hit. That also means the opposition isn't far off."

"Move!"

We were busy saying to Turner.

"This way!"

Turner pushed open the door that had been revealed after the Slime had fallen.

"If you don't leave, you'll be caught up."
