Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 171 Spiritual Beast

Then, Xu Zhen and Lati returned to the mansion and told Lopul who stayed behind what had happened.

Although Luo Puer was surprised, he understood Lati's opinion that "there is no need to look for it deliberately". Although he wanted to see his friends, he said that he was more reluctant than letting Xu Zhen take the risk to look for them.

In short, his opinions were exactly the same as in Panna Forest.

Since the monsters were unanimous, Xu Zhen felt that he had no choice but to obey. When he conveyed this, the monsters smiled with satisfaction and seemed to be somewhat relieved.

Observing the situation of Xu Zhen and the others, Courtney smiled and watched quietly.

(Although I have thought about this many times before, it is rare for someone to be so valued by monsters.)

Although I have seen ordinary adventurers control monsters, but besides Xu Zhen, is there anyone else who is so cherished by monsters? Perhaps this is the true meaning of controlling monsters.

Because apart from Xu Zhen, there is no one else who can control monsters. Considering this, Courtney came to a conclusion.

(By the way...besides Xu Zhen, is there really no one else who can control monsters?)

Looking back, he had no solid evidence. Maybe they were just adventurers who were not exposed. Maybe there were a few people who existed.

If a monster user other than Xu Zhen met him, would the two become good rivals and learn from each other?

However, there is no point in thinking here now.

(What would happen if Xu Zhen had an opponent? Would he work hard with Lati and the others? No, Xu Zhen might not change anything unexpectedly. On the contrary, the opponent might think of him as a rival and work hard on his own with great enthusiasm... This is also possible.)

Courtney stared at Xu Zhen who was playing with the monsters with an amused smile.

————————————————————

After breakfast, Xu Zhen and his team came to the outskirts of the village. Beyond the buildings and training grounds was a vast expanse of green nature—a large forest.

Xu Zhen felt that the atmosphere here was somewhat similar to the Great Forest of Euglias, but there was something obviously different. He couldn't tell what it was.

While walking carefully to avoid getting lost——

"Um?"

There was a rustling sound in the bushes. When Xu Zhen tilted his head in confusion, a creature suddenly jumped out.

"what is that?"

At the moment when Xu Zhen was muttering to himself, the creature suddenly fell to the ground. Lati and Lopul immediately ran over to check the fallen creature. Lati said, this is a monster.

(It looks a bit like a snow ferret, but it seems a little different...)

The long body with a cute face reminded Xu Zhen of the small animals on Earth. The light fur looked very soft.

However, this might just be appearance. He imagined for a moment whether the creature had sharp teeth and bit its prey mercilessly.

"Master, this child looks hungry." Lati said this, and Xu Zhen took out a food bar he carried with him.

Lati took the food from Xu Zhen and gently placed it next to the fallen monster's mouth. When the monster smelled the fragrance of the food, it woke up and pounced on the food.

It ate the food at an astonishing speed. Xu Zhen and the others looked at the monster in surprise. After eating, it seemed calmer, aware of the presence of Xu Zhen and Courtney, and the monster seemed a little wary of humans.

“It’s okay. They are both good people.”

"Chirp!"

"Chirp!"

Lati, Lopur and Slakic smiled and calmed the vigilant monster. When Slakic climbed onto Xu Zhen's shoulder and told the monster that there was no danger, it relaxed a little and slowly approached Xu Zhen and the others.

Xu Zhen squatted down and stretched out his hand. The monster sniffed with its little nose, then looked up at Xu Zhen's face.

"Chiu!" It chirped softly, and seemed to be much calmer, as if it had recognized Xu Zhen and the others. After carefully examining the monster's body, no obvious wounds were found. It seemed that it was just hungry.

"At least it's okay now... Letty? What happened?"

When everything seemed calm, Xu Zhen noticed that Lati was looking at the monster seriously.

Lati thought for a while, then turned to Xu Zhen and said, “Master, this child… may be a ‘spiritual beast’.” Just as Lati finished speaking, a breeze blew through the forest. The rustling leaves made an unusually loud sound.

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

Spirit beasts are a type of demonic creature, and like fairy ships and fairies, they are known for rarely showing up in public.

They look very similar to ordinary small animals, and each individual has some special abilities. It is not clear whether this ability is magic or a unique ability of spirit beasts.

There are various hypotheses among monster researchers, but little is known. They are very rare and valuable, and are easily targeted by thieves and others.

"...That's right. Spirit beasts are very wary of humans. Even if you encounter one by chance, they will quickly run away, but..."

While Courtney was explaining, she looked down in confusion and saw Xu Zhenzhen squatting and a spirit beast was happily playing with him.

"Hoo-gu~"

“Haha, this guy is pretty cute.”

It doesn't look very alert. Instead, it gives people the impression of being close and unwilling to leave.

Is this really a spirit beast? If it is an ordinary monster that looks very much like a spirit beast, then it is completely understandable. With such expectations, Courtney looked at Lati, and Lati also looked confused.

"Well... no matter how you look at it, this still feels like a spirit beast..."

It seemed unlikely that this was a misunderstanding. Courtney thought about this and decided to accept the current situation.

(After all, he even got close to dragons when he was a child, not to mention that he has tamed three rare monsters. It wouldn’t be surprising if a spirit beast also got close to him.)

Courtney confirmed this in her mind, but she didn't realize that her feelings had become numb.

Before I understood this, it was already incredible that I could easily encounter rare monsters. If there was an unrelated third party present, they would probably point this out immediately.

Unfortunately, there were only Xu Zhen and his friends in this deserted place, so this was completely impossible to achieve.

"You are a strange fellow indeed."

“Hugu?”

As if to ask if this was the case, the spirit beast tilted its head. Seeing this cute action, Lati blushed and showed a dull expression.

"Ah...I really want to touch it."

The spirit beast and Lopur were both startled when they heard this. It seemed that Lopur remembered their first meeting. Seeing the spirit beast's frightened look, Xu Zhen looked at Lati with a sigh.
