"Leti, calm down. Lim needs to control herself now, too."

Xu Zhen gently stroked Lim's back, and Lim barely calmed down. Then, Xu Zhen looked at Lati and asked, "Lati, what happened?"

"Yes, it is!"

Lati explained the situation to Xu Zhen and the others. Although her tone was a little panicked, she was much calmer than when she rushed out.

"Hey, wild slime?"

"Yes. It's injured and it's been poisoned."

After hearing his words, Xu Zhen's eyes widened, and Lati nodded more affirmatively.

During their expedition, Lati, Lopur and Lim found a wild slime lying injured. It seemed that it was injured by a monster that processed poison, and the poison was corroding the slime's body.

Although it was not extremely poisonous, it would soon be too late if we left it alone. Therefore, Lati rushed over at full speed, asking for help. Ropur and Lim stayed behind to watch.

After roughly understanding the situation, Xu Zhen crossed his arms to show his understanding: "Latti's magic can't cure the poison either."

"There are no detoxifying herbs nearby. Now that we have discovered it, we can't just ignore it..."

"Well, I understand how you feel. Well, let's go save it first."

"Thank you very much, Master!" Lati thanked Xu Zhen happily. Then -

“Coo-coo!”

"Hey, will Lim help?"

Lim also expressed her willingness to help Lati. Seeing this, Xu Zhen stroked Lim's head with a smile on his face.

"That's great. Lim's purification magic will heal quickly."

“Coo.”

Lim seemed to be saying "of course", then Xu Zhen picked up Lim and stood up.

"Then please lead the way. Foreo, I'll leave you to look after the house!"

“Leave it to me!”

The task of guarding the luggage was given to Foreo, and Xu Zhen and his party walked quickly under the leadership of Lati.

After passing through several jungles, they saw a dying slime, and Lopur and Lim who were watching it nervously. Seeing Xu Zhen coming, they showed joyful expressions and came to greet him. Xu Zhen leaned over and looked at the slime.

"It looks like it's really painful... Lim!"

“Coo-coo!”

Lim flew down from Xu Zhen's left shoulder and touched the slime with her little hand.

Lim's purification ability took effect, and the toxins in the slime's body quickly disappeared. Soon after, the slime's painful expression disappeared and it slightly opened its eyes.

"…………Skin?"

“Wake up!”

Stimulated by Xu Zhen's voice, the wild slime turned towards him. Then, the next moment——

“…Piku!!”

He showed an expression of extreme fear.

Lim, who was also a slime, persuaded it and finally calmed the wild slime down. As a result, even if Lati and other monsters approached, it no longer showed a rejection attitude.

however--

“I want to…”

"Skin!!"

As Xu Zhen approached, the wild slimes started to get scared again.

Feeling that the situation was a bit strange, Lim and Lati calmed it down again and asked the wild slime at the same time. During this time, Xu Zhen kept his distance and thought about the situation.

The monsters are fine, but I have a problem. Does this mean that -

(Humans... In other words, they might have been attacked by thieves or adventurers, causing this situation.)

Naturally, this assumption came to mind. It would not be surprising to find that among those adventurers or thieves, there were some who dealt in poison.

Although I have walked along this road before, I have never seen a wild monster using poison. In fact, there is no sign of monsters rushing out now.

Therefore, we should consider that this slime was attacked by someone and turned into this state. In other words, the attacker should be nearby.

(There are magic, medicine preparation... and poison attacks, etc. Although I hope it is not a bad guy... but there is no point in thinking about it now)

Xu Zhen thought of this and said to the monsters surrounding the cured wild slime: "Everyone, it's almost time to go back!"

"Okay." Lati raised his hand and answered, and the other monsters also shouted in response. The four monsters walked towards Xu Zhen with a smile, which made the wild slime look puzzled.

Despite this, Xu Zhen and his companions did not notice this. They continued to return along the same route, without saying goodbye to the slime, and just left.

Only the slime remained where it was, looking in the direction Xu Zhen and the others had left, and then disappeared into the jungle in another direction.

However, neither Xu Zhen and the others nor the slime noticed that there were two people observing the scene from a distance.

"Is that the monster messenger in the rumors?"

"I thought he would be like that, but he looks like an ordinary boy."

The thief girl sighed helplessly, while the swordsman boy smiled smugly.

"That's actually true. Monster users themselves have no fighting ability. It's wrong to compare them to other adventurers."

"Well, maybe, but..." Although the thief girl reluctantly agreed with the swordsman boy's words, she was still a little dissatisfied.

"He can tame several of these rare monsters? It would be nice if they were a little more powerful, right?"

"You're only talking about appearance. You're upset because you're disappointed."

"I'm not being sullen..."

The thief girl turned away and muttered, and the swordsman boy responded with a wry smile.

"I know, I know. Anyway, let's go back first."

“Wait, do you understand what I’m saying? I’m not being snarky!”

"well."

The man and woman tried their best to cover up and deal with it carelessly. Their voices soon disappeared. The air turned orange, and Xu Zhen and his group arrived at Kuler's house.

However, there were no lights on in the house, just like the last few times I came here, nothing had changed. I slowly opened the door, but still couldn't sense anyone. I checked all the rooms, but still no one was there.

After turning on the lights in the living room, Xu Zhen and his group decided to rest here first.

"Maybe grandpa went to other countries?" Xu Zhen said, panting, sitting on a wooden chair.

"Because we couldn't find him in the capital of Shuter. I think this possibility is very high. The old man must be living a good life."

“It’s possible.”

Hearing Lati's words, Xu Zhen smiled bitterly.

"I've already thought of it, so it doesn't matter. It's already dark, let's prepare dinner first."

As Xu Zhen stood up, the monsters also started to move. They used the food they had on hand to make hot soup and served a big meal to the familiar slimes who came to visit.

During the meal, Xu Zhen learned some information from the slimes through Lati.

In the weeks before Xu Zhen and his team returned, no one seemed to have seen any human beings, not even a sign of approaching.

In other words, nothing seems to have changed.

At least in this mountain, peaceful and quiet time is passing. Knowing this, Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
