Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

"Now that everyone is awake, let's have breakfast." Jacklun suggested, and the monsters responded happily. Everyone sat around the fire and enjoyed the sweet and sour berries they had picked.

After drinking some cold water and clearing his mind, Xu Zhen asked again if anyone had heard any strange noises just now. Lati and Jacklun frowned in confusion when they heard this.

"Noise? I didn't hear anything."

“I didn’t hear it either. Maybe it was a dream?”

"I hope so... but it doesn't seem like it." Xu Zhen said while holding his chin and sighing. Then Jacklun seemed to have thought of something and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Maybe that was the sound of a monster."

"The voice of the monster?" Xu Zhen asked. Jacklun nodded. "An ancient record mentioned that when the monster messenger grows up, he will hear the voice of the monster."

"Does a monster user have this ability?"

"It's just a record in the book. There is no solid evidence."

It's just a possibility after all. However, Lati excitedly approached Xu Zhen: "But if it's true, it would be great! The master can communicate with everyone!"

“Haha…indeed.”

While comforting the excited Lati, Xu Zhen also felt that it would be more convenient if they could communicate. After all, now that he was away from Lati's translation, he could not accurately understand Slakic's words.

Although body language can be used to make some guesses, it is still not comparable to direct communication. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth. If it is really possible to talk to monsters, Xu Zhen would really like to try it. He thought so strongly.

"So, Xu Zhen. What should we do next?"

As the atmosphere changed, Jacklun changed the topic, and Xu Zhen and the others listened attentively.

"Let's go back to the village first, and then go to the sealed guardian god."

"Is it called the Forest Guardian? It's the same spirit beast as Lim, so it should be very powerful, right?"

"Yes. If we can summon it and Xu Zhen can tame it, it will become our important trump card against Russell. At that time, we will also be able to make full use of the power of Lati and others."

If you want to tame powerful monsters, you must fight them yourself. The forest guardians, who are called guardian gods, are no exception, which is what everyone is worried about.

In response to Jacklen's confirmation, Lati clenched his fists with a fighting spirit.

"That's exactly what I want. For my master, I will do my best!"

Lati's words made Slakic jump up and down and shout. Lopur and Lim also sat on Xu Zhen's shoulders and smiled, as if to say, we will try our best.

"Then let's pack up and get ready to go."

Jacklun stood up slowly and said, Xu Zhen and the others nodded in agreement. They sorted out the remnants of the campfire, quickly packed their luggage, and first headed for the top of the cliff.

With the help of flying monsters such as the killer eagle, they quickly reached the top of the cliff. This was also thanks to the help of Jacklun. Here, Xu Zhen fell into doubt again. Maybe Jacklun was originally a monster messenger like himself.

He tried to ask Jacklun this question -

"Please imagine this yourself," Jacklen always said with a smile.

Whether he was being evaded or guessed wrong, Xu Zhen didn't know. But he thought that even if he continued to ask, he would not get any substantive answer.

(Forget it, I won’t worry about it now. I must go to the guardian deity’s place as soon as possible.)

After Xu Zhen sorted out these thoughts in his mind, he looked forward and continued along the forest path.

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

Xu Zhen and his companions made smooth progress and did not encounter any special troubles along the way. Although wild monsters occasionally passed by, they did not show any hostility towards them.

While observing the surroundings, Jacklun whispered: "This is already the edge of the village. Lati, do you sense any suspicious aura?"

“Um…I didn’t feel anything.”

“Woo woo—”

"Except for wild monsters, there seems to be no one else around here. Lim also said so."

“Really? But we can’t take it lightly. We should proceed with caution.”

Hearing Jacklun's words, Xu Zhen and the others nodded silently.

Russell and Lesak might approach quietly while eliminating their aura. At this stage, they just hope to avoid unnecessary encounters. As for Lesak, it is possible that he will not take the initiative to attack.

He might just watch from a distance, or suddenly appear, say a few words and leave. In a sense, this is more troublesome than Russell's problem. Jacklen couldn't help thinking so.

(It is hard to understand how I could have such a long relationship with him.)

Jacklun smiled silently, and Xu Zhen and Lati tilted their heads when they saw this scene. But they did not continue to ask questions, but continued to walk along the forest road.

Soon, they came to a small river. The clear water flowed, and wild slimes and green slimes were playing happily by the river.

"Let's refill our water tanks and take a break."

“Agreed!”

Lati answered excitedly, and the monsters walked towards the river together. Lati suddenly looked back and saw Xu Zhen standing there blankly for some reason.

"Owner?"

Xu Zhen did not respond to Lati's question, but stared at the riverside - to be precise, at the slimes playing by the river.

"I feel like... I've been to a similar place before..." Xu Zhen whispered almost unconsciously. Lati had a guess: "Maybe the master came to this place when he was a child?"

“… maybe?”

Considering that he had lived in the Elf Village before, it was not surprising to come to this nearby river. In fact, Xu Zhen himself was also curious about the slimes playing on the river.

It felt like I had played with them there before.

He tried to replay the scene in his mind again, but now only the scene he wanted to play appeared in his mind, and the past scene did not emerge at all.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he realized that he couldn't remember and there was nothing he could do, so he decided to take a good rest with the monsters.

After replenishing his water and washing his face with cold river water, he regained his consciousness. Not long after, Xu Zhen sat next to Jacklun and asked the question in his mind again.

"Hey, Jacklen. It is said that the forest guardian was sealed a long time ago, right? Are there really such dangerous monsters there?"

"Well, about this. I just learned some information from books..." Jacklun said lightly while looking up at the blue sky.
