Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

After dinner, night fell.

The room that was used as a bed remained unchanged, and Xu Zhen and the monsters decided to sleep in that room together. When Xu Zhen checked the doors and windows and returned to the room, the monsters had already fallen asleep.

Looking at their peaceful sleeping faces, Xu Zhen also lay on the bed. He looked at the starry sky above the skylight and recalled the past.

“It’s been two years…it feels like it went by so fast.”

Looking back, although it was hard and tiring, the journey with the monsters was enjoyable. He thought from the bottom of his heart that he was good like this.

(Anyway, the journey continues. Maybe I’ve grown up a little.)

On the way to the border of the Kingdom of Sforia, the words that Dion had clearly told Xu Zhen suddenly popped up in his mind.

"It seems that you are far from mature enough as an adventurer. You are barely half-a-bottle of vinegar now."

A year and a half had passed since then, and he met Dion again. Although he didn't mention it specifically at the time, what was he thinking?

If I see him next time, maybe I should muster up the courage to ask him, Xu Zhen thought.

(Come to think of it… I only had three before I left this house. How is Slakic now?)

They hadn't seen each other since they parted in the Fairy Village, and since he hadn't heard any news about him, he had no idea how he was doing.

However, he hadn't heard any bad news, so he thought that he must still be practicing hard, and comforted himself in this way. He silently prayed that they would meet again one day.

(One left, four became partners, and then one more joined. That...)

Xu Zhen turned his head and looked at Loppur and Ram who were sleeping together.

"Pichu~"

Looking at their comfortable sleeping faces, he couldn't help but smile. When they first met, they were obviously hostile to each other, but now they have become good friends.

And it became even stronger. An ordinary slime with no special abilities could actually surprise the people around it and change their opinions.

Slime is also a very powerful monster and should never be underestimated. Xu Zhenzhen learned this from Ram.

(I met him in the Kingdom of Sforia... Come to think of it, we also looked at the starry sky with Lim at that time.)

Xu Zhen looked up at the starry sky through the skylight again, recalling the days when he tamed Ram a few months ago.

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

It was a few months ago, in a forest in the Kingdom of Sforia.

Xu Zhen and his friends found a wounded slime in the forest. Although there are many green slimes in the Kingdom of Sforia, there are also many ordinary blue slimes. So it is not surprising to see ordinary slimes here.

Considering them, Xu Zhen and his group decided to protect the slime. After all, they couldn't just leave it alone. Moreover, they didn't have any special plans at the time, nor were they pressed by time.

The slime was not poisoned, so Lati's healing magic was all that was needed. Although he was injured, his life was not in danger, so they thought that as long as he was given enough nutrition after waking up, he would recover naturally.

In order to let Slime have a good rest, Xu Zhen and his friends set up a tent. While collecting firewood and hunting to prepare food in the wild, Slime woke up.

"Skin……"

Slime was confused about his condition.

The body that was originally in great pain now just felt tired. The air around him, which was originally cold, became warm for some reason, accompanied by a popping sound.

As his vision gradually cleared, he saw the flames of the campfire and the silhouettes of some creatures around the flames.

"Cucho?"

The creature with a body turned its head. Slime immediately realized that it was a monster of the same kind as himself. Although he had no basis for this, he always felt that way.

"Oh, wake up!" said a huge monster. But his voice was high and sounded like a child.

“I’m back.”

"Welcome back~. Ah, Master. The slime is awake."

There is also a monster with wings, perhaps something like a monster, and another terrifying existence has appeared. As Slime thought about this, he felt fear.

Xu Zhen, who saw this scene, understood. Perhaps this guy was afraid of humans. Although he didn't know what happened, the reason for his injury was probably related to this.

This speculation hits the mark.

According to what Lati and the others heard, the slime did nothing but was hurt by several people. And those people were laughing happily.

“Just get beaten down obediently. A weak monster like you seems to exist to be beaten down by people like us.” After saying that, they kicked, punched, and even cast magic on the monster.

Xu Zhen thought they might be adventurers or something. He didn't know whether they were venting their emotions or trying out new skills, but for them, the slime was just the right opponent, and they attacked without hesitation.

Because it is a monster, it doesn't matter if we defeat it. We didn't do anything bad. They probably thought so in their hearts. Xu Zhen felt angry, but he suddenly thought: I have no right to criticize others.

He also hunted monsters to survive. More than once or twice, he asked Lati and his friends to fight suitable wild monsters to test their strength.

Even so, he had never attacked a monster without a reason that had no will to fight. He could assert this, but it was just an excuse. Even if he explained this to the slime, it would not understand.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen could only feel sorry in silence.

Through Lati's translation, the slime also made its point clear: humans cannot be trusted. No matter how close a monster of the same kind is to you, I will never believe it.

Xu Zhen just whispered "I know". He really couldn't think of anything else to say.

"I'll do the sentry duty. You guys can sleep with it slowly." After Xu Zhen said this to Lati and the others, he added some firewood to the flickering campfire.

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

Late at night, the slime tried to slip away from the tent. Xu Zhen, who was on guard, also seemed drowsy, and it seemed that now was a good opportunity to escape.

It definitely didn't want to stay around the scary humans. The wound had healed, and it could go far away. Thinking of this, the slime left Xu Zhen and the others.

It hopped around in the dark forest, trying desperately to get away from them.
