Chapter 361 : Master and Servant Understanding Cooperation
The first three groups had all rallied and all had the possibility of winning the championship.
Only this fourth group?
It was really too embarrassing.
"Ahhhh, you stupid hero slime!! When I tell you to go left, do you understand left? That's the right side!!"
Elucia was so angry she almost shoved the piece into the slime's face.
Because although this silver-white slime was very obedient and had mustered the courage to advance, it had one problem... it was too stupid!
It often couldn't understand flag commands, wanting to go left but going right instead, spinning in circles when encountering open areas, often bumping its head in dead ends, not knowing what it was doing.
However, compared to that light black slime, it was still better.
Because...
"Wahh, big tsundere... no, ancestor! Stop jumping!! We need to go to the maze below, to the maze!"
That black slime? It hadn't even entered the maze yet!
It just kept bouncing around on the table, sometimes bouncing to the third obstacle, sometimes to the first obstacle, sometimes bouncing back to the starting point... its attitude seemed to say: Ah, winning or losing doesn't matter, just playing, just playing~~~
The anxious Lonis almost wanted to grab it viciously in her hands and squeeze it like a stress ball.
But such behavior would be abusing the slime—and it was also against the rules, so Lonis was helpless and could only stare.
"Elucia, what kind of weird slime did you choose? It's way too tsundere."
"Lonis, you're the one. It's just like a stupid hero directly transformed into a stupid slime!"
"I'm not that stupid."
"Hmph, you're even stupider than the slime. You're just an idiot, a big fool!"
Seeing Elucia and Lonis starting to argue, Suling was almost crying.
She just hoped everyone could be happy, but didn't expect so many accidents, with Lonis and Elucia almost getting into a fight.
"Woo woo, everyone stop arguing. How about... we change to different slimes?"
"Eh?"
"These two slimes might be a bit strange, so let's change them. Then the positions can start from the middle."
......
(Should we change?)
Hearing this suggestion, Lonis was stunned.
Yes, although this black slime was very mischievous, it was the slime Elucia had chosen.
It had excellent jumping ability, and its explosive power was also first-class among all slimes... was it because my commanding was problematic that it couldn't perform well?
......
On the other side, Elucia also fell into thought.
She knew this silver slime was very stupid and silly.
But it also had a unique skill that no other slime had: rolling!
Through rolling, the slime could maximize its round advantages, which was how it could immediately catch up with the main group and retain a slim hope of victory.
And just now...
The reason this silver slime couldn't tell left from right in the maze—wasn't it also because it had rolled too much?
Because it was dizzy, it was always confused about directions. Because it wanted to complete her commands, it was always panicking and bumping into walls.
So...
"Not changing. Although this slime is very stupid, it's barely usable~"
Elucia sighed and said so.
And Lonis also said seriously: "I'm not changing either. Since the rules are like this, I'll command to the end from beginning to finish."
"Eh, really not changing?"
"Mm, let's continue the competition."
After deciding to continue using the black slime, Lonis noticed something odd.
Although this slime seemed to be bouncing back and forth, appearing to do useless work, if you observed all its landing points, they were precisely around the maze's perimeter.
And this maze?
Was three-dimensional. If viewed from only one direction and one height, you couldn't see the entire maze route.
So...
(This slime was actually observing!!!!!!)
Just as Lonis reached this conclusion, the black slime began to act.
Without even needing Lonis's commands, it directly rushed into the maze and began advancing skillfully.
"So, so amazing... it actually knows to observe itself..."
Having analyzed the entire maze in advance, the black slime's speed was also very fast. When encountering forks, it had no hesitation and was frantically advancing forward.
And on Elucia's side?
The silver-white slime seemed to gradually recover from its dizzy state.
Although it had no clue how to get out of the maze, it obeyed Elucia's commands completely. And this scheming girl's observation skills were also exceptionally good—she calculated a shortcut to the finish line in almost just one second.
"Quickly, quickly, stupid hero slime. If you don't want to be made into hotpot, start running."
Due to the "life-threatening" intimidation, this slime also ran extremely fast, bouncing along and covering a great distance in no time.
......
......
Meanwhile, the mineral group and food group began to show signs of fatigue.
It wasn't that their speed was too slow, but if this continued, they would definitely be caught up by the slimes rallying from behind.
Sethilu's light blue slime was almost catching up, and Lonis and Elucia's slimes were rapidly closing the distance.
So...
"Luozhi, although I don't want to use this method, at this point, I have no choice..."
"Eh, Se-Senior? What are you going to do?"
Luozhi Sheng stared in shock because Yicheng was actually removing her eyepatch, revealing those calm, composed, but also seemingly empty dark eyes.
"I'll intercept the rear members while you seize first place."
"What?!"
"Suling, this is also within the allowed rules, right?"
"Yes, because this is a team cooperation game."
......
Yicheng wasn't playing dirty tricks. In fact, this kind of tactical coordination was common in Formula 1 racing.
However...
"Senior Yicheng, don't think you'll succeed."
"Uh?"
"Bai Ye, quickly rush over."
Zhou Mixue shouted loudly, commanding the pink slime to entangle Senior Yicheng's slime.
This created a gap sufficient for Bai Ye to command her matcha slime to catch up to second place.
"Mm... mm! I understand, Senior Zhou Mixue!!"
If it were just Bai Ye competing alone, she definitely wouldn't try so hard... because like Suling, compared to winning, she hoped more that everyone would be happy.
So if she could let everyone else win, she would definitely let others win.
But teaming up with Zhou Mixue was completely different.
Bai Ye knew she had come this far together with her partner. If she held back now, that would be letting down Mixue's trust.
So...
"Charge, slime partner! You must surpass Sister Luozhi Sheng!"
"Oh no... can't, can't give up. It's the final stretch, charge with all your might!!"
Just like that, amid the girls' cheering,
All the slimes successfully crossed the finish line.
