Chapter 5: The Heart of the Monster!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Suddenly, it occurred to James that if such a thing touched water, it might die. What if it touched boiling water?

With these thoughts, James struggled to his feet. He didn’t have time for this. If he didn’t get this thing off his body soon, he would be suffocated if he didn’t rot to death first.
1
He tore open a gap in the mucus that stuck to his eyes. After verifying his bearings, he walked towards the bathroom with great effort.
He entered the bathroom and turned on the heater to its highest settings.
Water instantly flowed from the shower head. Then, a few seconds later, steamy hot water poured down.

When the dark red monster came into contact with the hot water, there was a reaction as James had expected and its viscosity decreased greatly. James took the opportunity to take off his clothes and strip the monster away from his body. Then, he quickly rushed out of the bathroom and closed the door.
Apart from the sound of water, the bathroom was also filled with strange sizzling sounds.
It was as if something was being corroded.
Before James could breathe a sigh of relief, the commotion in the bathroom suddenly stopped.
Even the sound of water was gone.
James turned slowly to see the monster corroding the bathroom door.
Oh no. If the bathroom door was broken, he would have to pay for it!
In a moment of desperation, he opened the bathroom door.
As expected, he seemed to be the sole target of the monster. After the bathroom door was opened, it did not waste any time corroding the door.
Instead, it then crawled out from the gap in the door.
Then, James faced this fellow once again.
James was shocked to discover that the creature had evolved.
The hot water actually allowed it to evolve!
1
He was done for.
The monster was now no longer a simple blob of mucus. Instead, many dark red tentacles grew out of its body and waved in the air.
2
The number of eyeballs had also multiplied. James felt his scalp tingle as he watched the creature closely.
Just looking straight at one of the eyeballs made James feel a strange feeling that he couldn’t quite put his finger on. Panic and horror spread through his mind as he felt his hair stand on end in fright.
“No way. It’s gotten stronger.” James turned pale as he stood up shakily.
2
This was the first time he had encountered such a creature that was constantly energetic and could even evolve.
He was even more certain that this thing was definitely not a creature from the continent of Castro!
Only the Land of Darkness would have such a strange thing.
It could be a creature created by the Evil God, a relative of the Evil God, or a member of an independent chaos race that had emerged from the Land of Darkness…
In short, it was definitely not a creature that would be easy to deal with.
Gulp.
A disgusting sound rang out. Then, the dark red slime squirmed toward him. Its eyeballs kept turning until they were all locked onto James.
Then, all its tentacles reached out towards James. They were slow, but left James with nowhere to run.
Instinctively, James picked up the broom beside him and struck the slime with it.
After being strengthened by the black eggs, his strength alone could cause great damage, even if he used a wooden stick.
However, his attacks had no effect on the enemy in front of him.
After using the stick to fiercely strike the slime, James realized that to his despair, he could not do any damage to it.
However, this was very normal. After all, when faced with such sticky liquid creatures, he could not cause much damage by striking it with a blunt instrument.
After ending this ineffective attack, the dark red tentacles had reached his face.
James quickly ducked, flying and rolling to the other side of the room.
After a few seconds, James raised his stick and smashed it down at the slime.
James waved his weapon in desperation. His panic produced some effect as a small hole seemed to have formed on the slime’s body and did not close up even after a long time.
1
At this moment, there was a crack and the broom in his hand broke.
2
The sudden turn of events stunned James. At this moment, the red sticky slime seized the opportunity and suddenly pounced on him.
Once again, James’s body was instantly enveloped in sticky, damp mucus.
He forcefully tore the mucus off his eyes and regained some of his vision.
There was a blood-colored eyeball in front of his eyes that was almost sticking to him. It blinked as it looked at him.
Ah!
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual force entered James’ mind.
At this moment, James felt as if an iron rod was violently stabbing into his brain and stirring it. He was about to go crazy.
An ordinary person might have died a long time ago.
However, he had finally transmigrated to such an exciting alternate world. How could he be willing to die just like this?
A thought instantly struck James.
I can’t die. I want to fight back!
3
As long as he could still move and was still conscious, he would continue to struggle until everything ended!
With such a tenacious thought, James endured the explosion in his mind. Then, he reached out and groped across the floor with difficulty to see if he could find anything that would serve as a weapon.
However, after searching for a while, he found nothing.
There was almost nothing in his small house. Even if he could find a weapon, it would probably not be of much use against this soft monster.
Wait!
As James looked at the dark red sticky slime that was about to completely swallow him, he suddenly discovered something strange.
He noticed that apart from the disgusting eyeballs, there seemed to be something scarlet in the depths of the slime. It resembled internal organs and wriggled about like a heart.
