'It is dangerous for you to stay here, master. I will come back tomorrow. Please don't wait for me and go back to the cultivation abode,' the baby fire monkey's voice rang in Henrick's head and before he could come out of the fire ghoul cave, the baby fire monkey completely disappeared without a trace.
It is very dangerous to stay in the beast mountain after the two suns are replaced by the two blood moons.
The baby fire monkey already knew this fact. So, it disappeared before Henrick could come after it.
'What is Spark planning to do?' Henrick didn't understand what it was doing as he started looking for the baby fire monkey.
'Ding,
Only 30 minutes before the beasts in the beast mountain come out of their lairs to hunt. It's better to leave now.
Amidst his searching, Henrick received a system notification that made him re-think his options.
'Looks like it entered too high. I hope nothing will happen to it,' Henick felt it was impossible to search for the baby fire monkey in the huge beast mountain.
Moreover, the baby fire money even blocked the spirit contract which made him impossible to find its location.
'Sigh'
With a sigh, Henrick started climbing down the beast mountain.
Until now, Henrick had climbed only 10 percent of the beast mountain and crossing that 10 percent border, he would face beasts of rank 3 and higher.
Some might think how did he encounter a rank 3 fire ghoul in his second fire ghoul cave.
Generally, the members of the beast mountain, fill these fire ghoul cave with 100 or so rank 2 fire ghouls along with a peak rank 2 fire ghoul; however, for some reason, that peak rank 2 fire ghoul broke through to the rank 3 and not only that, it even awakened a bloodline making it impossible to kill for the celestial monkey.
Nevertheless, he was luckily able to kill it along with the help of celestial monkey and the fire vine.
"I know you are close by. I will be waiting for you,"
Before he could even take a step, Henrick felt like someone was watching him. So, he shouted out loud before climbing down the beast mountain.
'Sorry master. I have to visit something tonight; otherwise, I will become insane,'
Some distance away from Henrick, the baby fire monkey hid behind a branch of a tree and silently muttered to itself.
'Swoosh'
It waited until Henrick disappeared from its sight before it started climbing the beast mountain without any fear.
As for what it was going to visit, Henrick didn't have a single clue.
…..
'I think Nick must have completed his mission by now and must be waiting for me at the bottom of the bridge,'
While climbing down the bridge, Henrick thought of Nick and increased his speed because he could hear all kinds of beast noises from the depths and top of the beast mountain.
So, he just wanted to leave the beast mountain as soon as possible.
"Huh? Where is he?"
Soon, Henrick reached the bridge of the beast mountain; however, he didn't see Nick anywhere.
"Maybe, he already left." Henrick thought he must have left because it was already late than what he had expected.
'He is not a type to leave without any signal for me,'
However, for some reason, Henrick felt Nick didn't leave the beast mountain yet as he didn't find any signal left by Nick.
'Don't tell me, he is in some kind of trouble,' All of a sudden, Henrick started worrying about Nick.
Even though he was not very close to him, he helped him understand many things and no matter what he asked, Nick would answer him with a smile on his face.
So, he felt a little bad to leave the beast mountain while leaving him in some trouble.
'But, with my strength, what can I do?' However, Henrick felt it would not make much difference even if he went back into the beast mountain.
"Maybe, I should go back and inform my master about it. He will find Nick within an instant,"
Henrick felt it was the right thing to do and with that thought in his mind, he rushed towards the bridge.
'Henrick,'
Just as he was about to cross the bridge to the other side, he heard a familiar voice which made him stop in his tracks and looked in the direction from which the sound had come.
'Nick?'
Henrick's previous worry disappeared and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Nick was completely fine.
"Come fast. It is not safe to stay here anymore,"
Henrick didn't talk about anything about their adventures in the beast mountain; instead, he urged Nick to come faster. So that they could leave the beast mountain.
'Roar'
All of a sudden, Henrick heard a loud roar which came from nearby.
'Looks like beasts must have sensed us. We need to hurry,'
Henrick was just waiting for Nick to come near him and silently thought in his head.
From some time ago, he started hearing the roars and noises of the beasts. So, when he heard a roar which sounded very near to them, he thought they were coming towards him.
'Henrick, save me,'
Soon, Nick reached Henrick.
And as soon as he came near to Henrick, he started asking for Henrick's help.
"Huh? What happened, Nick?"
Henrick didn't understand what was happening because Nick was completely fine and there was not a single injury on his body.
Nevertheless, he asked Nick regarding his problem.
'Roar'
Before Nick could answer, the roar which he heard earlier resounded once again; however, it was very close this time.
'Thud'
Along with the roar, he heard the sound of footsteps of a beast and hurriedly looked at it.
"This thing is not leaving me alone,"
Nick pointed at the beast that appeared just now and said to Henrick.
"Huh? It's just a rank 2 beast. Why are you worrying about it?"
Henrick glanced at the slowly incoming beast and with a smile, he asked Henrick.
"You wait there. I will take care of it,"
Nevertheless, he stood in a fighting stance and waited for the incoming beast to attack first.
'Thud'
'Thud'
The beast continued to move towards them without any hurry and when it reached Henrick, it glanced at him for a moment before walking towards Nick.
'Huh? Hey, wait,'
Henrick didn't understand why the beast didn't attack him; instead, it moved towards Nick.
Nonetheless, he hurriedly moved and stood in front of Nick.
'Thud'
'Thud'
'Roar'
Just like earlier, the beast looked at Henrick for a moment before moving sideways and roared at Nick.
'...'
Henrick was speechless at the actions of the beast which was very much interested in Nick.
'Am I a joke to you?'
Clearly, this was the expression on Henrick's face right now.
Because he didn't expect that the beasts would also pick with their prey.
'Swoosh'
'Thud'
'Leave me alone'
While Henrick was in his thoughts, the beast which looked heavy jumped onto Nick and laid on him and Nick started shouting in an annoying tone.
"Huh?"
Henrick was surprised by the sudden turn of events as he didn't expect that the beast only jumped onto him; however, it didn't attack him; instead, it quietly laid on Nick as though it was taking some rest.
"Looks like you have found some fine lover for yourself...Haha,"
Finally, Henrick understood one thing regarding why Nick was fearing the beast that was following him. So, he didn't disturb them.
"Damn it..."
Nick cursed Henrick for joking about the beast that was following him.
The beast was none other than the armoured fire crocodile that Nick tried to kill.
Initially, he played with it and made it tired in order to kill it; however, things went south and the roles had been interchanged. Now, the armoured fire crocodile was chasing him no matter where he went.
Moreover, he even tried to hide from it but no matter where he hid, it would leisurely walk towards him as though it knew where he hid.
Without thinking anything, he started running towards the bridge and wanted to take someone's help.
"Henrick, stop laughing and help me kill it,"
Nick shouted at Henrick and asked for his help in killing it.
"Why? Isn't it keep it as your tamed beast?"
However, Henrick didn't help him; instead, he suggested Nick keep it as his tamed beast.
'Growl'
Hearing Henrick's words, the armoured fire crocodile turned its long snout towards him and let out a low growl as though it was agreeing to his words.
"See, even the armoured fire crocodile wants that,"
Henrick revealed a slight smile as he patted the armoured fire crocodile.
As for the armoured fire crocodile, it allowed Henrick to pat its head while pitifully looked at Nick.
"Fine...."
Looking at the pitiful look from the armoured fire crocodile, Nick bitterly nodded his head before saying, "However, it is already my tamed beast. It forcefully formed a contract with him and became my tamed beast."
Nick grudgingly looked at the armoured fire crocodile and informed Henrick.
"Then what are whining about? Just look how strong it is. Moreover, it willingly became your tamed beast,"
Henrick shook his head at Nick's annoyance with the armoured fire crocodile before saying, "Anyway, let's get out of here before beast hordes come here."
After saying that he walked towards the bridge while thinking, "Why are the beasts from the beast mountain very intelligent when compared with the beasts I know?"
