The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 986

Karl's team gathered, and Nachtia transformed back into a human so she could hear all the gossip.

"Well?" She asked.

"Northwest of here is another Regiment. They're hunting leftover monster packs. That is where we will head, and we can attack any groups we find between here and there." Karl explained.

The black dragon nodded happily. "That is perfect. Much better than hunting fluffy things."

The fur got stuck in her teeth.

The unit was packing up to get ready to go, and Lotus had set up her healing station to ensure that there were no more lingering effects of the Undead Curses. So, Thor took his time getting the carriage out and getting set up to travel.

The Regiment began moving as soon as their gear and supply carts were loaded, so Karl hopped in the driver's seat and let Hawk lead them northwest towards the next group of monsters that he had found, while the Regiment headed east.

[These ones are alive, and there is no spawn point. Just a whole group of thingies.] Hawk explained.

The bird was completely lost on this continent. He really needed to read a book to find out what the names of all these creatures were, but he never seemed to get around to it.

Plus, they all looked like a blend of multiple animals, and it was just weird.

[Describe them as well as you can.] Karl suggested.

[Horses with horns and wings and flaming hooves?] Hawk tried.

Not even Remi knew what that was. There was a similar demonic monster known as the Nightmare, but it didn't have wings.

[Maybe they'll be friendly? They've got fire magic.] Hawk suggested.

[What are they doing now?]

[Just standing around an oasis between sand dunes.]

That sounded like an ambush, waiting for someone to come to the oasis for water.

Thor led them to the oasis, and Karl knocked on the carriage to warn the ladies that there were monsters.

Lotus hopped down, and saw the creatures, then cheered and began to run down the hill.

Karl cast a barrier over her, just to be safe, but the beasts showed no sign of attacking as she approached. However, they backed away as she approached, unwilling to let her pet them, even if they weren't feeling hostile.

Her [If not Friend, Why Friend Shaped] skill was defective, Lotus decided. It only negated the hostility, and she still couldn't pet the fire ponies.

"Lotus, leave them alone. They clearly don't want to cuddle." Karl joked. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

Lotus sighed and headed back up the hill, and one of the beasts came up to bump her with its nose, then nuzzle her face before running back to the herd.
