"That's such a pity. Hehehe..."

Brenda did not respond to Sergio's laughter again. Sergio laughed for a while and looked at Xu Zhen and the others walking in front of him again.

(Well, it’s normal to have different perspectives. Since Xu Zhen is a monster user, it’s natural to continue observing until he wakes up… But…)

As he thought about it, he planned to give Xu Zhen some support later.

(The way Xu Zhen takes care of monsters... I seem to have seen it somewhere before...)

Sergio's thoughts gradually went blank, and a scene naturally emerged in his mind. A boy and a girl, although not elegant, tried their best to treat the monster. The girl cheered with tears in her eyes, and the boy silently bandaged the wound with a cloth.

With the cheers of "Done", the two children smiled at the same time. A small monster rubbed against the boy, and the boy picked it up. The one who approached them spoke...

"Elder?" Sergio came back to his senses suddenly after being awakened by Brenda.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"You were in a daze just now, I thought something was wrong with you..."

“No big deal. I’m in good spirits as usual!”

"That's good……"

Brenda's reaction temporarily reassured Sergio. As they talked, the magic particles became denser and the sound of the waterfall became louder. This was evidence that they were approaching the deepest part of the forest.

Brenda smiled and said that they had finally reached the deepest point, and Sergio thought about the scene that just appeared in his mind.

The scene of Xu Zhen taking care of the monster and the scene of the little boy taking care of the monster in that scene overlapped in Sergio's mind to some extent.

He had no solid evidence, but he couldn't help but think so. Sergio's expression was tense, and he came to a conclusion: "Sure enough, Xu Zhen is the one of those children..."

Sergio's whisper was drowned out by the growing sound of the waterfall and ultimately could not be heard by anyone.

----------------------

Xu Zhen and his group arrived at the depths of the Panna Forest and were shocked by the scene before them. A huge waterfall and clear spring water, accompanied by more flying magic particles, really fit the definition of "mysterious".

"Wow……"

“Wow…”

Xu Zhen and Lati sighed as if they were exhaling. It can be said that they could hardly find the right words to express themselves. Slakić and Lopul stared blankly with their mouths wide open.

The scene was so shocking that all the annoyance in my heart was swept away.

“No matter how many times you see it, it’s still amazing.”

“Yeah, totally agree.”

Sergio and Brenda also looked up at the waterfall, as if moved.

"Since we're already here, why not eat something here? We need to fill our stomachs."

It was past noon and the sun was starting to set. Xu Zhen and his companions realized that they had almost forgotten to eat, and their stomachs began to growl.

While preparing the food, Xu Zhen also completed another part of the task: fetching water.

He dipped the large bottle provided by the guild into the spring water until it was full. He lifted the bottle and put the lid on it. The full bottle of water seemed heavy.

"By the way, the water here also contains magical powers and has special effects in curing diseases and injuries." Just as Xu Zhen raised the bottle, Sergio came over and gave him a brief explanation.

"Oh, so this is such a magical water. That's amazing." Xu Zhen was very surprised. It seemed that he had completely forgotten the question he had asked before. Perhaps it was because of the incident of the tiger cub subspecies after that.

Sergio thought about this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can also try drinking the water here, it also has an effect on monsters." Sergio suggested to Lati and the others. They each took a sip of water. After drinking it, they felt their bodies warm up and seemed full of energy.

This indeed proves that this water is also effective against monsters. At the same time, Xu Zhen also remembered the young tiger subspecies just now.

(That thing... should I bring it here...)

A slight regret surged into Xu Zhen's heart.

He thought, maybe the tiger cub was looking for this water source. He looked in the direction he came from, and there was only a forest with flying magic particles, and no trace of monsters.

(…Now I can only pray that it can recover…)

After coming to this conclusion, Xu Zhen tried to calm down and began to search his bag. He took out the forest bear meat he had collected before entering the forest.

"Since you're here, how about trying this?" Xu Zhen spread a dry cloth on the ground and placed a plate with meat and skewers on it.

He cut the meat, which had been carefully washed with water, into pieces with a knife, skewered it on three iron sticks, sprinkled it with salt and pepper, and then grilled it over the campfire. The sound of the fat popping echoed all around, and the aroma gradually spread, naturally arousing the appetite.

In order to prevent the meat from burning, Xu Zhen kept turning the skewer to evenly roast the meat and took a bite.

"Hmm...it tastes quite strong..." Xu Zhen handed the skewers to the monsters, and three monsters quickly took a big bite.

"Maybe it's because of the strong fishy smell? But I think it's okay." Lati said calmly. As for Slakic and Lopul, they had extremely satisfied and impeccable smiles.

Xu Zhen once again realized that humans and monsters have distinct taste differences. Even though the fishy smell in the meat was not completely removed, Lati and the others were able to eat it without any problems, which was enough to surprise people that they actually thought it was delicious.

When Xu Zhen mentioned this to Sergio and Brenda, they also showed surprised reactions. Although they seemed to have expected it, they were still surprised when they heard the description of it with their own ears.

Brenda also took the grilled skewers from Xu Zhen and tasted it.

"Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, the meat of forest bears is also very popular in the capital of Sforia. If it is handled properly, it should be delicious. If you want to remove the fishy smell, boiling it in hot water boiled with herbs is also a good choice."

“Oh, do you want to cook?”

“That’s just preliminary treatment. Give it a try.”

Inspired by Brenda, Lati excitedly approached Xu Zhen.

“You just picked a lot of herbs, right? Try it!”

“Okay, let’s give it a try.”

Xu Zhen filled the pot with spring water, added herbs collected from the forest, and put it on the fire. The water gradually boiled, and the strong aroma of herbs began to spread. Xu Zhen tried to drink a sip, and it tasted completely like herbs.

Then, Xu Zhen put the whole piece of forest bear meat into the pot.

When the meat changed color, he took it off the fire, cut it into small pieces, and put them on skewers. He finished four skewers and continued to roast them slowly over the campfire until they were browned.
