Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

After finishing the battle with Russell, Xu Zhen and his party were on their way to the Elf Village when some adventurers suddenly ran over.

Greg's face turned serious as he listened to their claims. It was said that the violent monsters were appearing in greater numbers, and the situation was very difficult. Therefore, the adventurers asked Greg and his friends to lend their strength.

Greg turned to the young swordsman who was carrying Russell. “I’m sorry. Can you take care of him for me?”

"Don't worry. Leave it to me. I'll be back as soon as I get them there."

"By the way, can you go and gather other partners? More people would be better. And..."

Greg gave instructions to the young swordsman, then turned his attention to Xu Zhen and the others - to be precise, to Slakic.

"If it's okay... Young Slime, would you like to come with us?"

"Um, slime?"

“Chiu?”

After Xu Zhen, Slakic seemed to ask: "What did you say?" Nodding slightly, Greg continued.

"From what I saw just now, it doesn't seem that aggressive. It also seems to be quite resilient, and more reliable than some clumsy adventurers, I think..."

Hearing this, Xu Zhen and the others were stunned. They didn't expect anyone to invite Slakic.

Even the young swordsman, as a companion, felt the same way. After a few seconds, he hurried over to Greg and asked, "Hey, are you serious? No matter how resilient the slime is, it can..."

"Don't say that. Ceci also performed well in the last battle."

"But that and this are completely different..."

When the young swordsman was about to say something else, Lati suddenly interrupted, looking as if he had something in mind.

"But Slajic can also use fire skills, and Miss Cece, who uses the same fire, may complement each other well."

"Ah, that's true..."

Hearing Lati's words, Xu Zhen nodded. While they were discussing, Greg suddenly asked: "...Can the young slime also spit fire?"

"This is its special ability. It seems to be because it is a subspecies."

"I see. It's a subspecies. Then its body color makes sense."

After hearing Greg's words, a low growl came from the nearby bushes, and a few seconds later, a saber-toothed tiger jumped out.

"Roar--"

The saber-toothed tiger stared at Xu Zhen and the others. Its red eyes flickered, and it seemed to become even more violent. Facing such an opponent, Xu Zhen smiled as if he was thinking that the right thing had finally come.

"Slakic, show me your strength!"

"Chiu!" Slakic screamed and jumped in front of the saber-toothed tiger.

He nimbly avoided the charge of the saber-toothed tiger, then hit it from the side, knocking it away. Then, it shot a fireball from its mouth. The fluffy fur was immediately engulfed by the flames, and the saber-toothed tiger rolled on the ground.

Then, after the flames died down, the saber-toothed tiger fled deep into the bushes in a charred state.

"Tweet!"

“Well done, well done!”

Xu Zhen happily caught the jumping Slakic and stroked him gently. In this pleasant scene, Greg walked over with a smile on his face.

"Not bad. I like you. Let's light the fire of dawn together!"

He showed pure interest in Slakic's existence. This can be felt from Greg's attitude.

"So, what do we do?"

When Xu Zhen asked Slakic——

"...Chirp!!" Slakic replied excitedly. Then Lati flew over and helped explain: "It said it is willing to fight together."

"Haha, that's settled!" Greg laughed happily, gave a thumbs up, and took over Slakic. With Ceci's participation, the Flame Impromptu Party took shape instantly.

Greg and Slakic walked together at a leisurely pace, watching Ceci leave, and then Xu Zhen and his party walked towards the village again.

On the way, Lati suddenly spoke and said something to Xu Zhen: "After the battle, Slakic has been complaining. He said that he didn't perform well."

"Really? I don't think that's the case..."

"It said it couldn't land its attacks as well as I could, nor could it use its body to block the dark magic and protect everyone like Fureo did. Slakic found the battle unsatisfying at all."

"……Yeah."

Here, Xu Zhen first understood Slakic's thoughts. In other words, he failed to notice it in time. Feelings of regret surged in his heart, and Xu Zhen's expression naturally became gloomy.

The young swordsman carrying Russell also noticed Xu Zhen's expression. He was silent for a while, but finally smiled and said in a bright voice: "We are almost at the village. You should have a good rest after you go back."

“Oh, okay…”

Xu Zhen almost didn't hear what the other party said, but he answered subconsciously. At this time, Lati whispered to him: "Master, wait a minute, let's have a good talk with Slakic."

“…Yes, well, we do that.”

Xu Zhen's originally depressed expression brightened up a little.

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

The night passed and the bright morning illuminated the forest. Although it was relatively easier to walk than late at night, it was still a road without a path and lush greenery. Even during the day, the road was still dim. It could only be described as "relatively easy".

Sergio and Jacklun pushed forward in silence, pulling away long vines. This situation had lasted for several hours, with almost no change.

Will this scene change? Will it never change? Jacklun thought to himself. After several hours, he finally spoke: "I can still feel the breath of magic..."

“Although I didn’t sense any living creature’s presence.”

In response, Sergio also spoke for the first time in hours.

"It's really strange to have come to this. Are you relying on that magic device to move forward?"

"Yes, I don't have the ability to sense magic. I was able to find his location before with the help of this device."

Jacklen held up the hexagonal hand mirror-like device in his hand. The center part emitted a dim light, which was evidence that it was emitting magic power.

The color of the light is purple, close to black. The color changes depending on the type of magic power sensed nearby. By the way, purple represents darkness. This was set by Jacklen in advance to determine the location of Lesak.

"I'm not surprised at the existence of magical devices... but you really got such a thing. It's not common for ordinary people to have it."

“I have my own channels.”

"Well... I'll be content with your explanation for now."

“It’s great that the conversation has become simple.”

Jacklen smiled, and as Sergio nodded, he looked at the device again.

“But this is really strange… Although the device can sense normally, I can’t see the person myself, and I can’t even sense his breath…” Sergio opened his eyes wide when he heard Jacklen’s whisper.

"Why, I thought you set a trap to lure me in. So you were also surprised?"

“Yes. Did you notice that?”

"Of course. After walking for so long and getting nothing, I think this is a trap to lure out an elder like me. I thought you were behind this... isn't that the case?"
