Lati looked at Lim and the cave alternately. The light on Lim and the forest guardian disappeared, and the flowing magic image also disappeared. Back to the original dark cave, everyone's eyes were focused on the forest guardian.

“…coo…”

"Lim!"

Lim suddenly fell down, and Xu Zhen gently picked her up.

"Using purification magic consumed too much power. But thanks to this, the Patronus's magic has been successfully purified."

"Ah... You did a great job, Lim. Have a good rest."

"Gugu." Lim nodded weakly. Just when Xu Zhen was about to stand up -

"what!"

He felt something suddenly hug his feet. When he looked down, the forest guardian was holding Xu Zhen's feet tightly. The forest guardian looked up at him quietly, and Xu Zhen didn't know how to react.

"I also……"

"What?"

The voice of the forest guardian sounded in his mind. When Xu Zhen asked reflexively, the forest guardian tightened his grip and said, "I want to go too! Take me with you!"

This was a special call. Different from fear, a clear and strong will could be felt. Xu Zhen could not help but be surprised.

Xu Zhen looked at the forest guardian for a while, then smiled: "Okay, let's go together!" As he said that, he nodded firmly, and the forest guardian smiled happily.

When Xu Zhen placed his right hand on the forehead of the forest guardian, like Lati and others, a brilliant light shone, and a mark of taming was engraved on his forehead.

In this way, Xu Zhen successfully tamed the forest guardian.

“Done! We have a new partner!”

“Pikki!”

"ball!"

Starting with Lati's scream, Slakic and Lopul also cheered happily. While Xu Zhen was amazed at their joy, he looked down and saw Lim sleeping comfortably.

Despite the thunderous cheers around her, Lim seemed to be completely unaware, and Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. In this scene, Sergio and Jacklun watched from behind, nodding as if they were very interested.

"Oh... Is this the moment of taming? I've seen something good."

"I didn't expect he would actually do it... I have so much respect for him."

Sergio and Jacklen laughed softly and narrowed their eyes slightly.

“By the way…did you notice?”

"Oh, you too. I guess Xu Zhen just heard what the guardian angel said."

“I feel the same way. Because it makes no sound, it’s not easy to detect.”

Jacklen smiled bitterly and Sergio nodded.

The guardian angels can't make any sound. After Sergio and Jacklun came here, they have been struggling with how they can communicate. Perhaps they still have to rely on Lati who can speak human language.

However, there was an unexpected side to this. Xu Zhen was apparently able to communicate with the guardian spirit.

Whether this is something like telepathy unique to monsters, or Xu Zhen's ability as a monster messenger, is still unknown. But one thing is certain.

There are possibilities hidden in Xu Zhen that they cannot imagine.

“It’s really exciting. His future.”

"Yeah. I think so, too."

Hearing Jacklun's words, Sergio also smiled with relief. At the same time, Xu Zhen and the others did not notice the reactions of the two men, but focused on the newly tamed forest guardian.

"Yeah. I should give you a name. Hmm, what kind of name is good..."

Xu Zhen looked up at the sky and thought about naming the forest guardian. Then, a name came to his mind.

"…How about Foreo?"

"Foleo?" Xu Zhen's name made the forest guardian tilt his head. Then after a few seconds, the forest guardian smiled and raised his hands.

"Well, my name is Foreo! I like the name my master gave me!"

"Okay, it's decided. Well, then, Foreo, please take care of me in the future."

When Xu Zhen stroked the head of the forest guardian who changed his name to Foreo, he smiled happily.

"Yes, Master!"

Fureo also laughed happily. The other monsters also laughed happily, and the three monsters except Lim played with Fureo.

The cave was suddenly filled with laughter.

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

"Hey, why does it feel so quiet?"

"Yeah, it seems like none of the adventurers are here."

After taming Foreo, Xu Zhen and his companions left the cave and returned to the village. However, only a few villagers could be seen in the training grounds and the square. Although there were adventurers, the absolute number was very small.

"Hmm...it looks like most people have gone out to fight monsters." Hearing Sergio's voice behind him, Xu Zhen turned around and said, "Fighting monsters?"

"Since this morning, we've heard reports of wild monsters going berserk around the village. So the adventurers are out to help."

"I see. The east side is unusually noisy, so that's why." After listening to Sergio's explanation, Jacklen nodded to show his understanding. Then they arrived at the residence and Dorothy came out.

"Elder, welcome back. Ah, are Xu Zhen and the others safe and sound?" Dorothy held Xu Zhen's hand with a happy smile. Xu Zhen was slightly confused and showed a hint of apology.

“Yes. Sorry to have worried you.”

"It's all right. I got the general idea from Brenda."

After hearing An Xin's words, Xu Zhen further asked: "Where are Courtney and the others?"

"They just set out to conquer monsters. Alicia and the others went with them."

"Hey, is Alicia here too?"

Xu Zhen and the monsters were surprised by this unexpected news. Although Sergio muttered in the back that he seemed to have not said this, fortunately, Xu Zhen and the others did not hear this.

“Yes. Oliver and Jill are with him too. They want to stop Russell.”

"That's it."

“Are they going to be okay?”

“…I hope so.”

Xu Zhen and Lati thought about the battle yesterday. Can Courtney and the others deal with Russell? Or is there any other way to break through?

Just as they were feeling doubtful and uneasy, Sergio's soothing voice came from behind.

"Don't worry. The secret team and the elite adventurer team are also here. If anything happens, they will come to support us immediately. Even if we can't stop Russell, we should be able to escape safely."

"The elder is right. The strength of the secret team is especially trustworthy."

Listening to Dorothy's words, Sergio said to Xu Zhen: "Xu Zhen. Now you and the monsters should have a good rest. Don't be anxious and wait for the opportunity to come."
