5 Surveillance Day 3, Danger. -Chapter 4-

-Surveillance Day 3 | Second Half |.-

The slime, after an exact five minutes of wandering around aimlessly, realized its acquisition of the sense of hearing, after hearing the chirping of a small nearby bird. Of course, as any experiencing something they had never before, and like it had been before, it was amazed.

Like when it received its other senses, it decided to experiment. Despite being only recently born, it has shown to be quite clever at times.

First, the slime jumped. This was possible with the acquired skill, 'Body Manipulation.' It first hardened a part of its lower half, and extended that same part down, causing the rest of its body to rise up. It then unhardened itself and retreated that part back into itself. After all of that, it fell to the ground, making a somewhat loud, squishy noise, similar to that of a gelatinous substance falling to the floor.

Interested and surprised at the sound it had created, it repeated this scenario for several hours in pure bliss.

This is, however, what leads to its possible demise. All the noise that the slime had created attracted the attention of a 'Horned Wolf,' a monster ranked an E-ranked threat. Not especially powerful, but compared to a mere slime, it's thousands of times more powerful.

>Congratulations! You have gained skill: Sense Bloodlust.<

Instantly, the overwhelming desire to kill granted the slime a new skill, which allowed it to more acutely sense the bloodlust the Horned Wolf had, had it somehow be difficult before.

It quickly hid behind a tree, cowering.

Current chance of survival is calculated as a 4.012% chance.

>You have levelled up Sense Bloodlust. Current Level: 2<

The Horned Wolf walked around, sniffing its surroundings as it slowly moved closer to the slime. It was obvious it could smell the particularly sweet scent slimes give off, trying to track it down.

>You have levelled up Sense Bloodlust. Current Level: 3<

In its fear of being found by this mysterious being making it feel this sensation, it accidentally activated Body Manipulation, causing it to slowly melt down into what looked to be just a liquid, its core sitting upon the green liquid.

The Horned Wolf reached where the slime would be, noticing the core of the slime. It licked the core, absolutely revolted by the taste. It ran away to find a nearby water source, leaving the slime to be all alone.

The slime had luckily survived due to its overwhelming fear. It returned to its gelatinous form seeing how it no longer felt the bloodlust from the wolf. It breathed a metaphorical sigh of relief as it moved on away from the tree.

Now, once all alone again, it continued its former action of 'jumping', not learning from its mistake.

>You have levelled up Sense: Hearing!<

>You have levelled up Body Manipulation. Current level: 2<

>You have levelled up Sense: Hearing!<

Five hours and thirty-two minutes passed before it stopped. Now satisfied with jumping up and down for hours on end, it used this same movement it had learned to move at a much faster pace, as opposed to its former way of transportation being sliding around and using all of its strength to move barely an inch off the ground forward.

It simply jumped around aimlessly, doing nothing of actual importance for a long time. Around fourteen hours passed. However, against all odds, the direction it was going lead it out of the forest, into the fields of Licrom. The plains were a popular spot, as it was mostly free of monsters and lead into Eaglith Woods, of which the slime just left.

By the time it reached here accidentally, dawn had once again broken, meaning it was now the next day.
