After eating Leila's cooking for several days in the wild, Luo Xiu felt that Leila had completely mastered his taste.
Although the food in this world is not bad, there is one thing that Luo Xiu always felt was missing: the food in this world is not spicy, at least in Wheel Town.
Because he was from the southwest in his previous life, Luo Xiu prefers spicy food.
Leila noticed this and would add a combination of spices to her cooking, making the dishes perfectly suited to Luo Xiu's taste.
Just like today, Luo Xiu ate two bowls of beef in a row.
"Did you enjoy today's meal, Master?"
Leila brought over a few cookies as dessert and asked expectantly, as usual.
"I really like it; Leila's cooking skills are impeccable!"
Luo Xiu spoke the truth.
Leila was overjoyed to hear this, and even the upright ears on her head swayed:
"As long as the master is satisfied!"
Luo Xiu picked up a cookie and took a bite. It was grape flavored and not bad.
Most of the desserts sold in Wheel Town are grape or raspberry flavored, not because the townspeople like them, but because Miss Michelle, the owner of the town's only dessert shop, likes them herself.
Luo Xiu picked up another cookie and held it to Leila's lips:
"Leila, how many copper coins did you buy these cookies for?"
Leila's face flushed bright red instantly. She wanted to open her mouth immediately, but in the end, she reached out and took the cookie.
“Miss Michelle didn’t want the copper coins. She said that since you had given her a massage for free before, this is what she is giving you to try.”
"Really? I remember saying that it was a trial course for her."
Luo Xiu spoke up.
Opening up the path to massage in Wheel Town in the early stages of his transmigration was not easy; he used a lot of marketing knowledge he had learned in his previous life.
Leila was just about to take a bite of the cookie when she heard this and immediately nodded:
"Yes, yes! Miss Michelle also used that word back then, saying that these cookies were a complimentary gift for you, Master!"
"Oh, I see."
Luo Xiu didn't ask any more questions, so that Leila could eat her cookies in peace.
He turned and looked in the direction of the town, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
CheLun Town is indeed a nice town, and the people in the town are all very nice people.
After dinner,
As usual, Leila took out a small notebook from her magic pocket and sat down next to the tent to start doing the accounting.
She was taught arithmetic by Luo Xiu. Although she is still quite rusty, she has no problem with simple addition and subtraction.
Every night when it was her turn to be on duty, she would start calculating her approximate daily income so that she would have a clear account of the accounts before going to the guild next time.
Luo Xiu was supposed to go to sleep first, but surprisingly he wasn't sleepy at all today.
He sat cross-legged next to Leila, gazing at the darkened plain before him, a strange unease creeping into his heart.
The two sentences Dave said keep popping into my head.
Although Dave often boasts, jokes, and tells dirty jokes, he has never made a mistake in what he says to Luo Xiu after drinking.
"Luo Xiu, don't even think about killing goblins. Those things can take on five of you at once."
This is what Luo Xiu said during their third drinking session.
"Luo Xiu, don't mess with Liss. Everyone in town says she's beautiful, but they don't know anything. I've seen thousands of women, and that woman is definitely a wolf in sheep's clothing."
This is what he said during his fifth drinking session.
"Luo Xiu, old White is a shrewd businessman! Although he's right most of the time, when it comes to money, humph, don't even think about getting a penny more from him!"
This is what he said during his seventh drinking session.
"Luo Xiu, Laura's ass is huge!"
This is what he said the first time he drank alcohol.
There are many similar cases.
But almost everything Dave said came true.
If that's the case, then Dave's warning about the Slime Plains must be true.
Looking at the empty plain shrouded in darkness before him, Luo Xiu felt increasingly uneasy.
The night sky tonight seems to be covered by clouds, with no moonlight and no stars in sight.
The plain before them was so quiet, as if something lurked in the darkness, ready to devour any creature that stepped into it.
Suddenly, Leila wrinkled her nose, then looked up at the sky and said:
"Master, it's going to rain."
"rain?"
Luo Xiu looked up at the sky. The clouds were indeed very thick tonight, but there seemed to be no sign of rain.
"Leila's nose has been very sensitive to rain since she was a child. If she can feel the air getting humid, it means it's going to rain."
Leila explained.
Just as she finished speaking,
Tick.
A raindrop landed on the tip of her nose.
Leila happily reached out to catch the raindrops that had begun to fall, then turned to look at Luo Xiu, wanting to tell her master that her prediction had been correct:
"Master, look, it's raining..."
Leila's voice gradually faded until she fell silent.
On the vast plain stretching before them, clusters of enormous, transparent creatures, three to four meters tall, appeared, moving slowly through the rain.
Raindrops fell on them, giving their otherwise transparent bodies a visible shape.
Their massive bodies have no visible eyes or expressions, but due to their shape, you can see their enormous mouths opening and closing unconsciously.
They moved haphazardly, seemingly unaware of Leila and Luo Xiu's presence.
Such a chilling scene was unfolding before my eyes.
Leila swallowed hard. She wanted to ask her master what to do now, but she didn't dare to speak.
However, the problem was quickly resolved.
Because at the very edge of the grassland, rows of even larger, uniform slimes came into view.
They appeared to be six or seven meters tall, lined up neatly, moving slowly like a well-trained army, crushing everything in their path.
More importantly, each of them has scarlet eyes.
Just as their gazes met Leila and Luo Xiu's, the leader of the slimes seemed to realize that it had been discovered and made a "pop" sound.
Swish, swish, swish! Swish, swish, swish!
Pairs of scarlet, triangular eyes lit up from the chaotically moving slime, each slowly turning its head to meet Leila and Luo Xiu's gaze.
Cold sweat dripped down Luo Xiu's forehead:
"run!!!"
He used a single word to begin this escape on a rainy night.
Chapter 13 Slime Siege
As soon as Luo Xiu finished speaking, the master and servant turned and ran away in perfect unison.
The rows of tall, orderly slimes behind them became anxious and restless when they saw the two of them running away.
It was as if Luo Xiu and his companion had stumbled upon some incredible secret.
In an instant, the sounds of "pop pop" echoed across the plain.
Soon, the five disordered slimes closest to Luo Xiu seemed to receive a command, and their massive bodies began to writhe.
Immediately afterwards, each slime split into two smaller slimes, each about two meters tall.
These tiny slimes leaped and chased after Luo Xiu and his companion as they fled, moving at an incredible speed! This was a complete contrast to their slow, disordered state just moments before.
Luo Xiu, turning his head, happened to see this scene and used the magic power he had just recovered to activate the skill [Judgment].
The smaller slimes glowed red, while the unsplit, disordered slimes glowed orange.
As for the neatly arranged slimes in the distance, each six or seven meters tall, they emanated a terrifying yellow light.
Tier 3 Slime!
You should know that the goblins that Luo Xiu had killed all along were ordinary first-tier goblins, but now rows and rows of third-tier slimes have appeared.
This finally resolved the long-standing doubt in Luo Xiu's mind, and he finally knew what the big event was about to happen in Wheel Town.
It's a slime siege!
Those giant Tier 3 slimes were slowly moving in the direction of Wheel Town; this was a massive siege!
The necromancer organization Vulture somehow got wind of the siege and foresaw it, so they scheduled their next "cleaning" operation for Wheel Town.
Meanwhile, the adventurers and wandering merchants received the location for the "cleaning" event and arrived in Wheel Town in advance to wait and prepare to profit from the dead.
And this news should already be known to some of the high-ranking nobles in Bandanda.
Luo Xiu thought of the two sons of the Lord of Bandanda who had come to Wheel Town for "tourism".
They should have all received news of the slime siege.
That explains most things!
Although some confusion remains, the overall picture has already been pieced together in Luo Xiu's mind, and it just needs to be sorted out.
