I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 120 Nan Ran's Suspicion

The group quickly reached a consensus to take a different route!

"Everyone be careful! Stay alert and pay attention to your surroundings, especially where you're stepping. Don't let any monsters that are good at disguising themselves and hunting take advantage of you!"

"Don't make any noise, lest you alert the enemy and attract any monsters with keen hearing to come and hunt you."

After Meng Duanyue whispered a reminder, the team changed to have the girl with neat short brown-green hair bring up the rear, and the group changed direction and slowly advanced.

Roar!
The sudden roar of a beast echoed around them.

Except for Nan Ran, who had absolutely no practical experience, the others frowned.

Meng Duanyue, who was walking at the front, whispered a reminder: "There may be aggressive monsters nearby. Everyone stay vigilant and don't let your guard down!"

Everyone responded with an "uh-huh," then each took out their usual weapons and activated their spiritual energy shields to prevent any demonic beasts from suddenly leaping out and attacking them.

Only Nanran—uh!

She looked at the group of people, all surrounded by brightly colored clothes and wielding strange weapons, fully prepared for defense, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Spiritual energy defense... she doesn't know how to do that!!

Meng Duanyue, who was walking ahead, seemed to have noticed Nan Ran's predicament and helplessness. Seeing that she had not activated her spiritual energy shield, she understood after a moment's thought.

She expanded the range of her spiritual energy shield, enveloping Nan Ran as well.

Nan Ran was immediately moved.

Then she discovered that the others had also expanded their spiritual energy shields, enveloping her within them.

Meng Duanyue breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Junior Sister Nanran, you stay with Su Ling for now, and we'll switch with Qiao Yue later..."

She read out the names of the people one by one, and had Nan Ran take turns staying inside their spiritual energy shields.

This way, we can also save some spiritual energy.

Meng Duanyue added, "If a battle breaks out later, Junior Sister Nanran, remember to find a place to hide. We might not be able to take care of you."

"Understood, Senior Sister Meng!"

Moved, Nan Ran mentally rehearsed her escape route countless times. In this critical moment, she knew that not holding everyone back and running when told to was the only way to respect and protect everyone.

The team moved forward slowly.

Roar! !

The roars of beasts continued to echo—

Nan Ran frowned slightly and listened carefully to the frequency and length of the beast roars for a while.

Then his brows furrowed even deeper.

Why did she feel that the beast's roar was strange?

And it appears repeatedly, always with the same frequency and emotion.

It doesn't express any meaning.

It seems like it was just a single call?
After Nan Ran switched to Meng Duan Yue's spiritual energy shield, she asked softly, "Senior Sister Meng, in this Water Demon Forest, are there any demonic beasts that are good at creating illusions, or that like to imitate the sounds of other demonic beasts?"

Nan Ran remembered that she had seen popular science articles in her previous life about how some birds are good at imitating the sound of rattlesnakes to scare away predators.

However, her brain isn't good at remembering things, and she's not sure if she remembered it correctly.

But even if you remember it wrong, it's at most a matter of detail.

The general direction is still correct.

She suspected that the roars they were hearing were not actually from monsters nearby, but rather sounds deliberately made by something.

Meng Duanyue frowned slightly upon hearing her words, not understanding why Nan Ran suddenly asked this question. Right now, she needed to be vigilant about her surroundings to prevent any sudden attacks from demonic beasts. How could she be distracted by such nonsense?
However, she patiently replied, "I haven't heard of that. But the Beast Continent has a wide variety of monsters, and perhaps there are monsters like the one you described that we haven't discovered and recorded!"

Nan Ran simply voiced her doubts.

Meng Duanyue was slightly surprised, then raised her hand to signal everyone to stop.

She shared Nan Ran's suspicions with the others: "...I think Nan Ran's suspicions are not without merit!"
