After walking along the passage created by the explosion for a while, we entered a corridor that seemed to have been artificially polished.

Turner walked to the wall and touched it.

"Weird..." he muttered. "The way it's polished... doesn't seem to be meant for the living."

"The living?"

"Yeah... I once explored a dead zone in the west with a gravedigger. Many people in the cities there had already died, but before they did, they built various large graveyards, probably hoping for a better afterlife. So, we got trapped in a dead city by some monsters, and we managed to escape by using the graveyard tunnels they had built. The walls there were polished like this."

"So, we're in a graveyard now?"

Arylexia smiled. "Isn't this similar to the morgue back at our hospital?"

"Not even close," I sighed. "This is like a perpetual morgue; once you're in, you can't get out."

I glanced at the dark passage and then at Turner. "Didn't expect us to accidentally become grave robbers, did you? Anyone have a Luoyang Shovel?"

"What's that?" Everyone looked puzzled, and I felt a bit embarrassed.

"So, you still have the habit of reading novels?"

Ms. Mary was quick to catch on. "But wasn't that a popular book a long time ago? Where did you find it?"

"Online, I think? I can't really remember."

Was it a long time ago? I always seem to treat time lightly.

"Well, Mr. Turner should have some experience in such places, right? So, why don't you lead the way?"

"Well..." Turner looked at us and chuckled. "I don't mean to shirk responsibility, but I've only scratched the surface of this kind of place myself, with someone guiding me."

"Stop dilly-dallying. Remember, this is where dragons come to. If we don't hurry, it won't just be us at a disadvantage when the others catch up."

"Uh..." Turner furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, let's go. But I can't guarantee I know the way. Like I said, I'm just scratching the surface."

"Okay, okay. I understand."

With that, Turner turned and walked ahead. We followed, heading deeper into the corridor.

As we walked, I started to feel something was off. Typically, graveyards wouldn't have such wide passages, as they weren't designed for people to enter and exit. Yet the passage in front of us was different; it started narrow but gradually widened as we walked further.

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

"Hey... you..."

Before I could finish my question, the next moment, Hai Dao beside me slashed at the wall! There was hardly any noise during the slash, but after a while, dark green blood oozed from where it was cut, and at the same time, a sticky, slime-like creature slid down the wall.

I can't believe there's a monster here? Its hiding ability is too good, right?

"Hmph, even disgusting monsters want to ambush us, but they can't escape my eyes."

"Strange? Isn't this a slime?"

Next to him, Samehi asked with a questioning tone.

"Isn't this type of creature invincible to physical attacks?"

"Miss, you know this is a slime, it seems you also often walk in the woods. You're right, this is indeed a slime, but it's not just any slime, it's a 'mimic slime'. It can use slime's skills like a regular slime, but in addition to that, it has a mimicry ability, can blend into the surroundings and disappear. This way, they can ambush passing humans."

"And you are…"

"That's also why I can kill it."

Haidao smiled and said.

"Because when mimicking, the opponent also has to show the mimicked state, so sometimes the opponent may appear in solid form. At that moment, attacking the opponent's already hardened core can kill them."

"To be honest, with just an ice magic, it can turn into a block of ice, and then just shatter it."

Ms. Mary said bluntly.

Why are you so blunt, that's what I was just about to say.

Haidao smiled and put away the knife.

"Well, anyway, everyone seems quite bored..."

And just at that moment, suddenly a scream came from afar.

From the sound, it seemed to come from behind us.

"Oh no, someone has come in already!"

Alykeshia said.

"I just placed a potion at the door that can temporarily blind people, the sound just now was probably someone falling for it. It also means the enemy is not far behind."

"Let's go!"

We hurriedly said to Turner.

"This way!"

Turner pushed open the door that was revealed after the slime fell.

"If we don't hurry, we'll be caught up."
