Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

But little did he know that the idea of ​​activating the necklace had just arisen in his mind.

A crimson light suddenly shone from the necklace in his palm, spreading outwards and instantly forming a circular light shield with a radius of about one meter.

Leila, who was also enveloped by the light shield, looked in surprise at the faint red light membrane in front of her. She gently touched it with her hand, and the light membrane began to flow like water.

Luo Xiu stood there stunned by what he saw. Did this item not require magic power?

But he soon realized something was wrong and looked at the hand holding the necklace.

The hand, which was originally covered in blood, is now slowly fading.

This item actually consumes blood?!

Luo Xiu was greatly shocked.

No wonder that boy, who was only a first-tier assassin, could use this item. In a sense, it is indeed an extremely suitable item for people with weaker strength.

Luo Xiu felt the rate at which the blood in his palms was decreasing, and roughly estimated that he could last for two or three minutes at this rate. As for his limit, he would have to try to find out.

However, this is already quite exaggerated.

Overjoyed, Luo Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the Lord of Bandanda City..."

Cough cough, I can't think about it, I can't think about it.

The next moment, Luo Xiu snapped out of his daze and quickly banished the horrifying thought from his mind.

Maybe it's not like that at all? Don't scare yourself.

After putting away the Thorn Guardian, Luo Xiu had Leila open the magic pouch-like bag.

A bunch of things fell out of my pocket with a clatter.

Luo Xiu and Leila spent some time cleaning up and reaped a good harvest!

First are 13 shiny silver coins.

The master and servant's eyes lit up as they looked at the silver coins.

Before coming to Sunset Jungle, Luo Xiu had planned to stay for a long time, so he used all the copper coins he had earned from killing goblins over the past few days to exchange for supplies.

Besides the arm and leg armor they wore, as well as food and tents for spending the night in the wild, Luo Xiu also changed his lightning-enched Tier 1 iron hammer and a Tier 1 Dust-Raising skill book.

It's fair to say that neither of them has any coins left; the only valuable thing they have is the four goblin corpses in Leila's magic pocket.

Luo Xiu had been somewhat resentful about not getting his hands on the goblin's corpse that he had killed that day, but seeing the 13 silver coins instantly brightened his mood.

As expected, killing goblins is only good for leveling up skills; if you want to get rich, you have to kill people!

Thirteen silver coins, or 1300 copper coins, is equivalent to killing goblins for five or six days.

Luo Xiu happily put away 10 silver coins, and let Leila put the rest into her waist pocket.

Besides the silver coins, there were also eight or nine unidentifiable herbs in the magic pouch. Luo Xiu had Leila put them away, and they would be taken to the guild to exchange for money later.

Then there are two skill books.

One of them is a hunter's Tier 1 skill book, [Haste].

The other one was quite interesting; it was the first time Luo Xiu had ever seen a skill book called a universal skill book.

I've never seen a general skill book with Lis.

This skill book is also a Tier 1 skill book, called [Examine].

According to the description in the skill book, it seems that any profession can be learned.

Luo Xiu placed his hand on the cover of the skill book, and with a thought, the skill book instantly turned into fragments and disappeared.

[Skill: Sight LV. 1 (0/1)]

[LV.1 Examination: After use, if the opponent's rank is lower than or the same as yours, a layer of light will appear on their body.]

A skill for assessing the strength of the enemy.

Upon seeing the skill's effect, Luo Xiu realized that the man named Mike must have used this skill to see that his and Leila's class levels were at most the same as theirs, which was why he was so fearless at the beginning.

This skill is indeed very useful, and Luo Xiu is very satisfied.

What I'm even more satisfied with is:

[Next Level LV.2 Inspection: After use, a layer of light will appear on the opponent's body. The color of the light will change depending on the opponent's level, from level one to level seven: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple respectively.]

[Points available: 1]

If LV.1 inspection can be considered practical, then LV.2 inspection is definitely a divine skill.

Luo Xiu hadn't expected that the so-called universal skill book would be so much more effective after being upgraded.

Looking at the last point he had left after using up some of his points to upgrade the Dust Technique.

Without hesitation, Luo Xiu immediately upgraded his scrutiny to LV.2.

The upgrade was complete. The remaining miscellaneous items, including the arm guards and shoulder armor, were put back into the pouch-like magic bag. That concluded the inventory of this loot.

Luo Xiu clipped the newly acquired magic pouch to his waist, which was conveniently covered by his shirt.

"Master, where are we going next? Back to town?"

Leila asked.

Having gained so much this time, she felt that her master would probably go to the guild.

"Don't go back yet."

Luo Xiu shook his head.

Thinking about the message Mike had just mentioned, he said:

"Let's go take a look on the east side of town."

……

Although Wheel Town is located in the northeasternmost corner of the kingdom, it can be described as a place with convenient transportation in all directions.

However, the west leads to the main city of Bandanda, the south leads to a city in the center of the kingdom known for its industry, while the north and east lead to the territories of two major monsters respectively.

To the north, of course, were Luo Xiu's familiar old friends, the goblins.

To the east are slimes.

Since Luo Xiu transmigrated here, he often heard the guards in the town talk about the goblins in the Sunset Forest to the north, but few people mentioned the slime plains to the east.

Luo Xiu asked several times, but almost no one answered.

Only the guard Dave mentioned it briefly:

"Luo Xiu, don't go to the Slime Plains. That thing is beyond your imagination. I only got transferred from the east side of town to the north side to stand guard because I saw it once."

"That thing is a monster in a sense that is not even in the same league as a goblin."

Chapter 12 Slime Plains

It was precisely because of Dave's warning that Luo Xiu had never even thought of coming to the Slime Plains before today.

Having learned from the example of goblins, Luo Xiu didn't believe that the slimes in this world would be the soft, tiny creatures he imagined.

It's quite possible that he has eight-pack abs, six arms, and four legs all over his body.

But when Luo Xiuzhen arrived at the Slime Plain, he was surprised to find that it was completely different from what he had imagined.

Standing at the boundary between the jungle and the plain,

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast grassland stretching as far as the eye can see.

Although there are occasional slight undulations and slopes, the overall terrain is still relatively flat.

On the horizon, a red sun is about to set.

The golden sunlight shone through the rosy clouds, casting a twilight glow over the plain.

The wind on the plains was much stronger than in the sunset forest.

As gusts of wind blow, the low, green grass on the plain either tumbles and leaps or bends low, casting shadows in the setting sun, like waves of a pale golden ocean.

A gentle breeze carrying refreshing air brushed against Luo Xiu's face, instantly invigorating him.

This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful place since he came into this world.

More importantly, there isn't a single slime to be seen here.

Of course, Luo Xiu didn't know exactly what a slime looked like, but the plain in front of him was indeed empty.

Even so, remembering Dave's words, Luo Xiu remained vigilant.

He glanced at Leila, who was marveling at the beauty of the scenery, and said with a smile:

"Leila, it's late, let's set up camp here."

"Uh-huh."

Leila nodded her little head happily.

After setting up the tent and lighting the fire, the master and servant watched the last rays of the setting sun together.

Night fell.

Tonight's dinner is beef stew with potatoes and dry flatbread, a dish Leila learned from Rosius's landlady.

Luo Xiu's landlady is an elderly woman with excellent cooking skills. Although she is rather old-fashioned, she is actually kind-hearted despite her tough exterior.

Despite his complaints about Leila, he still taught her a few of her signature dishes.

"If a slave can't even cook, then there's no point in keeping him!"

This is what she said at the time.

Luo Xiu knew, of course, that this was just the old lady's personal opinion, but Leila took it as a golden rule.

"I will work hard!"

Leila assured the landlady.

Surprisingly, Leila had an unexpected talent for cooking. After just a few nights of learning, she barely passed the old lady's test.

Even Luo Xiu, the master, benefited from this.
