I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats

"Boom!" A loud noise thundered.

Terrifying flames and the force of the explosion spread out.

[Trigger success, killed a Level 7 Mysterious, strength +0.5, Ghost Power +0.5%]

Just then, another notification sounded in Mu Rufeng's mind.

[You have been hit by a Rule Item, you will now enter a random mini-game]

"What?" Mu Rufeng was momentarily taken aback.

Then, Mu Rufeng lost consciousness completely.

When Mu Rufeng came to, something felt off.

"Am I... in the water? Wait, how can I breathe underwater?" Mu Rufeng frowned slightly.

"Where are my hands, my feet? What's that behind me? Why can I move it?"

Mu Rufeng's eyebrows twitched as he realized something horrifying.

He had transformed into another species, his current state was definitely not human.

[Welcome to the 'Tadpole Seeking Mom' survival game.]

[Objective: You have become a lost tadpole, please find your frog mother within the time limit.]

[Time limit: 1 hour]

[Please note: When the frog mother is within one meter of you, a radar arrow will appear.]

[Completing the mini-game will grant a mysterious reward.]

[Note, all your abilities will be blocked, except for additional perception ability.]

"What the hell, turned into a tadpole? So, is that thing behind me a tail?" Mu Rufeng's mouth twitched slightly.

Also, why are all my abilities blocked???

[I advise you to start swishing your little tail, because in five seconds, you will be targeted by a Water Mantis as its prey.]

Seeing the prompt, Mu Rufeng shuddered and without hesitation, immediately started swimming forward with his tail.

Soon, Mu Rufeng saw some large green plants ahead, too murky to make out what they were.

"Um? What's that ahead? It looks big and familiar." Suddenly, Mu Rufeng saw something different among the green plants.

[A grass carp weighing just about a pound, still looking? In five seconds, it will have swallowed you.]

"Shit!" Mu Rufeng realized what this enormous creature was.

This grass carp really was a tadpole's natural predator; just one swoop from the carp, and he'd be gone.

Mu Rufeng immediately swam to the left, frantically twitching his tail.

However, it was already too late, the grass carp had spotted Mu Rufeng.

It darted out from the greenery, its fish eyes fixed firmly on Mu Rufeng still swimming.

"Whoosh!" came the sound.

The grass carp suddenly shot towards him with blistering speed.

Mu Rufeng only felt a massive disturbance behind him, tossing him about uncontrollably.

Mu Rufeng knew the grass carp was upon him, he was just a tadpole, how could he compare speed with a fish?

Mu Rufeng didn't hesitate, he turned and dived deeper.

Sure enough, the next second, the grass carp flashed right above him.

It also created a huge disturbance, the displaced water sending Mu Rufeng flying.

Mu Rufeng's heart sank.

He had been spotted by the grass carp, and in this open area, it was difficult to hide.

At this moment, his only option was to find someplace to hide before the grass carp came back.

Mu Rufeng immediately focused on the large greenery he had spotted earlier.

Without wasting a moment, Mu Rufeng darted his little head and tail, swiftly heading toward the vegetation.

Perhaps due to Mu Rufeng's superior physical qualities, he managed to duck into the greens just before the grass carp could reach him.

Upon arriving, Mu Rufeng immediately aimed for a narrow space to squeeze into.

"Rustle rustle..."

A massive force struck from behind, sending a mass of vegetation flying. Mu Rufeng, caught among the plants, was also hurled out.

The grass carp, undeterred in its speed, had rammed right into the vegetation, clearly unwilling to give up on Mu Rufeng as its meal.

Mu Rufeng carefully hid in a notch under a leaf, daring not to make a move.

"Damn grass carp, if I ever get the chance, I'll indulge in eating it—steamed, braised, grilled, fried, not missing a single style," Mu Rufeng said through gritted teeth.

A powerful boss like him had surprisingly ended up in this survival mini-game, even transformed into a little tadpole?

"Mini-game… mini-game… it's all over, I seem to have forgotten to wear my 'Game Terminator' title," Mu Rufeng thought, annoyed. He really hadn't anticipated such absurd items.

If he failed the survival challenge, would he die here?

Mu Rufeng really didn't dare to bet on it, so he became even more cautious.

However, it seemed his physical condition was strong, he could swim fast, but still not as fast as the grass carp.

The grass carp was still charging recklessly among the vegetation, seemingly trying to flush out Mu Rufeng or any other hidden 'food.'

Mu Rufeng almost got knocked out of his hiding spot several times and only by clinging firmly to the vegetation did he manage to stay hidden.

After a little over a minute, the grass carp seemed to be out of energy, stopping nearby, its mouth opening and closing as if lying in wait.

Mu Rufeng's heart sank; he dared not move at all.

As soon as he would leave this hiding spot in the vegetations, he would be absolutely spotted by the grass carp.

[A regular Black Algae, not only hiding a small tadpole, it seems there's another small life prevailing against its predators above.]

"Huh? There's something else hiding above… an insect?" Mu Rufeng's eyes shifted, and he immediately thought of a plan.

Carefully, Mu Rufeng swam upwards along the roots of the Black Algae, using the scattering leaves as cover.

At the same time, he paid attention not to be discovered by the grass carp, but mostly, he was searching for the other life hiding.

[A Water Mantis avoiding predators, if you go further up, it wouldn't mind the grass carp looming in the distance and having a feast.]

Mu Rufeng discovered the Water Mantis, not very large, even smaller than Mu Rufeng, but it was long, its limbs stretched out much larger than the little tadpole Mu Rufeng.

Due to its color, it clung onto the Black Algae, nearly invisible unless looked at closely.

The grass carp with its dead fish eyes definitely wouldn't see it.

Mu Rufeng immediately stayed close to the Black Algae, daring not to swim up further.

If discovered by this Water Mantis, it would directly strike at Mu Rufeng, and then, he would definitely get spotted by the grass carp, ending up wiped out.

"How am I going to get this guy discovered by the grass carp?" Mu Rufeng began to ponder.

[The base of a regular Black Algae seems about to break.]

Seeing the hint, Mu Rufeng immediately had an idea.

Along the roots, Mu Rufeng slowly swam downwards, and after a while, he found the spot about to break approximately ten centimeters from his original hiding place.

The pond was now calm, the Black Algae slightly drifting in the water, with only a third of the breaking point still connected.

Mu Rufeng looked around at the surroundings and sighed.

The nearest clump of vegetation was over thirty centimeters away, well smashed by the rampaging grass carp, leaving only this piece of Black Algae.

Carefully, Mu Rufeng approached it and began nibbling with his small mouth.

Although the biting power of a tadpole is very weak, almost negligible,

Mu Rufeng was no ordinary tadpole, and given it was already about to break, a few bites were enough to sever the roots of the Black Algae completely, the upper part immediately drifting forward with the current.

Reacting, Mu Rufeng swiftly swam downstream, hiding behind the Black Algae.

The Water Mantis seemed to realize the Black Algae had broken, but it didn't move.

The grass carp in the distance noticed the broken Black Algae but didn't care much, after all, there were many floating vegetations around.

Just as the Black Algae collided with another piece of floating vegetation, the Water Mantis moved slightly.

This movement immediately caught the attention of the grass carp.

Immediately, it wiggled its tail towards that direction.

It wasn't sure if it was mistaken, but anyway, there was no harm in checking.

As the grass carp swam halfway, the Water Mantis knew trouble was brewing and immediately darted toward the distant vegetation, its speed much faster than Mu Rufeng's.

"Whoosh!" The grass carp spotted the target and immediately accelerated rapidly, crashing into the vegetation in the blink of an eye.

"Now's the chance." Mu Rufeng immediately swam in the opposite direction towards the vegetation.

As Mu Rufeng escaped into the vegetation, elsewhere, the upheaval was still ongoing, it seemed, the destructive power of the grass carp in the pond was truly unmatched.
