On the way to the new home

Good

The time has come

It's time to leave this nest...

Shiro and I are ready...

Prey is starting to get scarce around here... we probably hunt too much...

With a look of agreement we carry our egg and leave the nest that Shiro had built…

Hunting with an egg is difficult, however, one of us takes care of it while another hunts and levels up.

Shiro has undoubtedly become deadly.

He is like a ninja, he climbs onto the roof, or hopes not to be detected so he can attack from their weak points.

Normally, after being able to transform into the snake, I attack head-on, after all the damage I do like this, it is enormous.

Normally in my Slime form without using the Symbiosis or Doppelgänger skills it takes me 1 hour to defeat a simple frog...

And using my Doppelgänger ability on the snake, just charging directly at a common frog is enough to finish it off in less than 10 seconds.

A big change in my humble opinion

Happy the three of us are walking through the maze eating monsters

It's like paradise...

After all the fact that in the maze part for once in my life I'm not at the bottom of the food chain is great...

Nothing could go wrong...

Hey?

That this feeling...?

Nah it's my imagination

While we continued hunting monsters I felt like a chill...

But it's my imagination...

After all, who would stand between me and Shiro in level 2 and 3 respectively…

Adventurous POV

 "Hey look at this. It's a network."

I looked at where my companions were pointing.

There, glimmering in the reflection of the light, was a web with evenly spaced geometric patterns.

A spider web... the nest of a spider-like monster called Taratect that is often found living in the Great Elroe Labyrinth

"Is there a spider there?"

"Must be. "I'm going to burn it."

My comrade used her torch to start a fire.

It burned easily and continued to burn for a while.

"It's burning beyond the passage!"

"This is a big nest. Do you think it evolved?"

My friend's words made my spine crawl.

Monsters can sometimes evolve.

When they do, they become much stronger than before. Unevolved members of the Taratect species are very weak, but when mutated, they can become nearly impossible to defeat.

And that goes double for those who make networks.

Once the fire was out, we explored the burned area where the nest was.

"Hey look..."

"It just can't be."

My comrade growled, and I looked to the heavens as if searching for answers.

Although, all I could see was the ceiling, of course.

Before our eyes, bones and scales of a huge snake were scattered on the floor.

Along with the skeletons of several other monsters.

If a creature defeated all of those, it would be truly terrifying.

The giant snake skeleton probably belongs to a monster named Elroe Baradrad.

It was a high-ranking monster due to the power of its scales.

 "Where is the corpse of the thing that lived here?"

"No this"

"There is a trail of thread leading out of the nest over here. "He must have escaped."

I took a look at the thread my friend had found.

It was the type of fiber that monster spiders constantly produced

.If we followed this, we would find whatever built this nest.

"What should we do?"

"Let's go after him"

It would be dangerous to let this thing go around unsupervised. If it evolved, we might be unable to defeat it, but in that case, we just need to run for our lives and report this information to the outside world.

After all, we came prepared because we wanted to hunt down that special Slime that had just appeared...

We need to kill the spider first
