"All of you, divide into groups as I have arranged with you on the road!"
Anno rode on the wind wolf and instructed the adventurers around him, "After splitting the group, you follow the captain's orders to fight, and remember not to act recklessly.
Although we have priests, our magic power is limited, so everyone tries to protect yourselves!"
With Anno's order, the 216 adventurers split into six teams.
Apart from Anno, Liu Rongrong, and Ning Wen, Shore and six others led a team!
Thirty-six people in each team.
Each team had warriors, knights, thieves, hunters, and magicians.
At Anno's command, the six teams started to move in a goose formation in the direction of Gruul town.
"Kiki! Kiki!"
Slimes were bouncing and releasing their energy on the grassland. Sensing a large group of people approaching, they not only did not run away as usual but instead rushed up.
"Biu~!"
A stream of acid was sprayed out by the slimes.
Shore turned slightly to dodge the acid, then raised the mallet in his hand and slammed it hard into the air at the slime.
The slime was smashed in the air, splattering its slime all over the floor.
Shore picked up the slime skin from the ground while throwing the mallet to the adventurers behind him and said easily, "Look, slimes are easy to kill, so don't worry about your weapon is just a mallet.
When the leader was weak, he also used a mallet to hunt slimes in these grasslands.
You just need to pay attention to one thing and watch out for the slime's acid!"
Shore then also told some of the men with wooden pots that they could use them to block the acid in a pinch.
Most of the adventurers had no experience in fighting slimes and were a bit cautious at first.
Luckily, the number of slimes they encountered was limited at the beginning and it was relatively easy to deal with.
All of them had the opportunity to have a "fair" 1v1 battle with the slimes under the cover of the others.
When problems arose, Shore as captain was there to save the day.
Young adventurers of level 1 or 2 may not feel.
But the few level 4 and 5 adventurers in the group couldn't help but feel sour when they saw the scene in front of them.
"If I had been treated like this when I fought before, I wouldn't have failed the test due to injuries and then stayed bumbling around!"
Xiao, the only level 5 Knight profession adventurer, couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw Shore step in to save an adventurer when he was about to be hit by slime acid.
With a rank like his, hunting slimes was a completely trivial matter.
That's why Anno approached him on the way and gave him the position of vice-captain.
He was mainly responsible for helping to guide the team when the captain was too busy to do so.
The six teams pushed steadily forward.
Many of the newbie adventurers were in an excited mood after completing their first kill.
When they saw a slime rushing up, they all grabbed for it.
However, as they went deeper and deeper, more and more slimes noticed the movement of the crowd and started to gather towards the six teams.
The adventurers didn't need to fight over a single slime.
At first, each team was only surrounded by a few slimes as well.
At the back, each team had to face dozens of slimes.
Faced with a spray of acid, the six teams dispersed into more small groups on Anno's orders to deal with the slimes separately.
As they approached the town of Gruul, the group led by Sunow was directly surrounded by more than fifty slimes.
With their rudimentary weapons in hand, the adventurers fought the slimes in a flurry.
In the end, it was Sunow who got everyone to lure the slimes into one piece and fired a few [Arcane Spell Balls], which instantly took care of more than twenty slimes and greatly reduced the pressure on the adventurers.
The only pity was that the slimes skins were completely destroyed as well by the magic.
Anno, who was constantly glancing between the various groups, nodded in relief as she watched the group methodically approaching the town of Gruul.
"Sure enough, it's more than appropriate to have them come over and practice with slimes!"
Anno looked around at the white souls flying towards him, the corners of his mouth rising wildly.
[Obtained slime Soul x 1]
[Obtained slime Soul x 1]
Over two hundred people hunting slime is much faster than Anno hunting alone.
Although it can only be collected within a range of fifty meters, it is just a matter of running two more steps for Anno.
With Anno's current level, hunting such low-level slimes did not increase his experience at all.
All he wanted to do now was to collect more slime Souls and upgrade his [Low-Level Perception].
After more than an hour and almost a thousand meters of walking, the 200-odd people finally arrived in front of the town of Gruul.
And Anno had directly harvested over 1200 slime Souls.
After consuming 1000 slime Souls, [Low-Level Perception] was upgraded to [Intermediate Perception].

The perception distance became 10 meters square.
The consumption also became 2 points of magic power per second!
"With this consumption rate, it can only be turned on when fighting!"
Although Anno now had a whopping 600 points of magic power, it could only last for five minutes.
Over two hundred adventurers had walked up to the town of Gruul, and only a few were injured. They had been healed by Liu Rongrong with magic.
This was thanks to Anno's wind wolves and the ability of Shore and the others.
The guards of the town of Gruul had seen such a group of people long ago.
When Anno and his group approached, one of the guards hurriedly lowered the wooden bridge that had been raised over the town guard river.
Anno left a group of magicians behind and let the others cross the river first.
When everyone was almost gone, the slimes gathered over a group as well.
"Gentlemen, expend your magic to your heart's content!"
"Oh~!"
Led by Sunow, nearly twenty magicians simultaneously released [Arcane Spell Balls] at the slimes that leaned over.
Dozens of spell balls shot out into the group of slimes like bursts of fireworks.
Boom boom boom!
A series of explosions rang out.
Dozens of slimes were reduced to ashes in a blaze of fire.
And the mages, who had finished wielding their magic, ran up the bridge in a flash to catch up with the crowd ahead of them.
Some yelled to the others as they ran, "Damn exciting, I killed seven in one blast! Seven!"
Anno was the last to cross the bridge and when he returned, the wooden bridge was hoisted up by ropes again.
Although slimes can swim, there is a risk of sinking and suffocating, so they don't like to jump into rivers.
Once the wooden bridge was raised, a large number of slimes who had lost their target stayed and wandered around.
......
"Anno, why are you here?"
Hearing the voice, Anno turned to look and found an acquaintance.
"Mr. Brooke!"
Anno crossed the crowd and walked towards the person who had spoken.
"We have been asked by the Lord Viscount to come and clean up the rioting slimes!"
Brooke looked around at the adventurers with a surprised look on his face as he listened.
He could sense the aura of these people, the vast majority of them were less than level 3.
There were only a handful of people above level 4.
With such weakness, how could Lord Viscount entrust these people with this quest?
"Mr. Brooke, have you resolved the goblin in the Forbidden Forest,?"
"Do you even know about that?"
Seeing Anno ask this question, Brooke sighed, "Originally, we only found a small group of goblins. With the ten guards in Gruul town, we were fully capable of taking care of them.
But when we found the goblin camp outside the Forbidden Forest, we realized that there were already over fifty goblins gathered there.
Most of them were level 6 or above goblins.
That's why we asked the Viscount for help.
Yesterday the Viscount sent two teams of guards and also commissioned two mercenary groups.
But according to the information that the thieves we sent out to scout, the number of goblins in the stronghold has doubled again.
There were 30 goblins of level 6 and above, just from scouting!
It was a good thing that the number of subsequent goblins did not increase.
Otherwise, I would have thought that these goblins were preparing to attack Gruul town!"
"In fact, if we hadn't observed their movements in advance, Lord Viscount wouldn't have sent so many people to assist. A hundred goblins are already capable of attacking the town of Gruul."
Brooke's partner, Owen, walked up to Anno from a distance at this point.
He smiled and greeted Anno, "It's been a long time Anno, you seem to have gotten stronger again!"
Behind him, there was a man and a woman!
The man was over 5'9" tall, with a tiger's back, wearing plate armor and carrying a small shield and a long spear.
The woman was enchanting with purple hair and pupils. Her figure was shapely and her slender waist walked like a water snake twisting, giving the impression of a charming woman.
When Anno saw the strong man's information panel, her eyes immediately narrowed.
The strong man also noticed Anno.
He raised his steps and walked up to Anno, his triangular eyes stared at Anno for a moment and said in an unkind tone, "Are you that fucking Anno? My brother Harry's disappearance has something to do with you, right?"
