Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

“I didn’t expect the slime from yesterday to come. But what is the secret place like?”

“Who knows? You’ll only know what kind of fun it is when you go.”

While Lati and Xu Zhen were talking, the slime kept moving straight forward through the forest. Following behind it were Xu Zhen and the monsters, but they had no idea where the slime was taking them.

In the morning, a slime appeared at the door of Kuler's house. It was the slime that Xu Zhen and his friends had rescued a few days ago.

Through Lati's translation, we learned that Slime was desperate to visit Xu Zhen and his friends, and even asked other wild monsters. Slime said he would take them to a secret place, so he took Xu Zhen and his friends to the forest early in the morning.

"Master, I feel the concentration of magic power has increased."

"I felt the same way. There might be something releasing a lot of magic nearby."

"Meow!"

"Gudu!"

In response to Foreo and Lati's words, Lopur and Ram also nodded.

The road they were taking was a place Xu Zhen and his companions had never been to. Considering that the morning sun occasionally shone in from behind, it could be inferred that they were heading west.

Xu Zhen recalled the map of the area in his mind, but there seemed to be nothing noteworthy in the west. And because of the obstruction of a high mountain, it was almost impossible to continue to the plain.

Therefore, when they set out, they did not even consider heading west. Xu Zhen was looking forward to what the west had to offer, but at the same time, he was a little worried.

"…This is a completely unknown road. I am worried about whether I can return safely…"

"Yeah." Xu Zhen muttered, and Lati nodded with a wry smile: "It feels a bit like my hometown."

"The Great Forest of Eugrias... Is it the magic that distorts the sense of direction?"

"Hmm. Maybe this area is also..."

Looking at Lati's worried expression, Xu Zhen frowned.

"If that's the case, no matter how many directions you read, you may not be able to go back, right?"

He felt that this possibility was very high. The monsters also agreed. They all strengthened their power to grab Xu Zhen and tried to figure out the situation around them. Their anxiety became more and more serious.

“Toot!”

The slime leading the way turned around, smiled confidently, and called out. Lati understood and translated it to Xu Zhen.

“It said it would take care of bringing us back, so don’t worry.”

“Is that really okay?”

I always feel a little uneasy. But since I have been brought here, Slime did not hesitate and seemed very trustworthy.

"Well, it has come to this. I can only trust that slime."

“Toot!”

The slime seemed to say "leave it to me" and jumped very high. Although Xu Zhen saw this scene, the uneasiness did not completely disappear, but he decided not to think too much about it.

————————————————————

After walking in the forest for a while, he heard the sound of flowing water. It was not the sound of quiet flowing water, but the sound of rushing water, which reminded Xu Zhen of a stream.

Soon, an ancient suspension bridge appeared in front of him. It seemed that the slime was going to the other side of the suspension bridge. Xu Zhen carefully looked down from the side of the suspension bridge, trying to confirm the situation at the bottom of the cliff.

“It’s quite high.”

“The river flows very fast. If you fall in and are swept away, you don’t know if you can come back alive.”

Lati also looked down and confirmed the condition of the suspension bridge.

"This... is made of pretty solid material. If you move slowly, it shouldn't break easily."

"Beep, beep!" The slime leading the way said something to Xu Zhen and the others. After Lati understood, she showed a surprised expression and then looked towards Xu Zhen.

“Master. It seems the old man comes here regularly.”

"Yeah?"

"Yes, Slime said so."

Hearing this unexpected news, Xu Zhen was surprised and interested at the same time. There must be some meaning behind Culler's visit here.

Under the guidance of Slime, Xu Zhen and his friends slowly walked across the suspension bridge. Everyone passed safely and continued to move forward.

And then—they arrived there.

“It’s amazing…it’s like a fairyland spring!” Latti said excitedly, gazing at the scene before her.

In the center of the beautiful spring is an untouched piece of nature. The sunlight shines into the water, creating a very mysterious impression. What's even more striking is that there are many slimes playing there.

"...It feels like a secret place for slimes." As Xu Zhen muttered to himself, all the slimes suddenly turned towards them.

Then, they were surprised at the same time and quickly hid in the bushes. The lively place became quiet in an instant. Although they did nothing, they felt as if they had done something bad.

When Xu Zhen and the monsters showed embarrassed expressions, a huge slime slowly emerged from the depths.

"You actually... brought an unusual guest." The giant slime said as he looked at the slime leading the way. His voice was low and melodious, like that of an older man.

Xu Zhen looked at Lati, who nodded in surprise. It seemed that they could communicate normally.

"What's wrong? Is it so strange that slimes can speak human language?"

"Ah, um, no, that... uh..."

Xu Zhen nodded in confusion, while the big slime closed his eyes and sighed.

"For me, speaking human language is no big deal. Of course, there's no one here who can speak except me."

Then, the big slime opened its eyes again and looked at Xu Zhen and the others.

“I’m sorry for the late introduction. I’m the elder here. Everyone calls me elder, and you can call me that too if you like.”

"Ah, I'm Xu Zhen, a monster user. These are my companions."

"Please take care of me~"

Xu Zhen made a brief self-introduction on behalf of the team, and the big slime bowed deeply to Xu Zhen.

"Thank you for saving one of our companions. As a gift of our gratitude, we will welcome all of you. However... I hope you will keep this place a secret. Because I want us to live as quietly as possible."

"Ah, this place, I won't tell anyone." When Xu Zhen nodded, Elder Slime finally smiled.

Then, other slimes that were originally hiding in the bushes began to gradually appear.

"squeak!"

Ram took the lead in approaching the slimes and soon played with them. The sound of their happy play seemed to greatly inspire the other slimes, and in a blink of an eye, many slimes gathered around.
