......

But Shesa’s greatest strength has never been its fighting ability, but rather its ability to resurrect itself indefinitely.

Because of the black water, Zhou Si did not have the opportunity to send the Collapse Crystal of Boyi Dragon away from this world. At this time, the crystal became the nourishment for Shesa's rebirth.

New life was born on Shesa's corpse. The newborn Shesa burst out of the snake's belly and was about to devour this perfect food as nourishment for its growth.

Just as Shesa was about to make a move, the sound of hooves came from somewhere. In the next instant, a biting cold climbed up its spine, and the newly resurrected Shesa turned into a block of ice before it could make any move.

Zhou Si struggled to open his eyes, trying to see the situation clearly. In the moment before losing consciousness, he only saw a jet-black 'steed' with a single horn riding a girl in a white dress towards him.

Chapter Forty-Seven: I'm Your Father

"Well..."

Zhou Si seemed to have a very long dream. He dreamed that he traveled to the world of Monster Hunter and wrestled with Shesa. In the end, he was resurrected by Shesa and tricked. If he had another chance, he would definitely turn Shesa into snake soup.

"It's not a dream~"

A girl's light, melodious voice rang out from above. Zhou Si opened her eyes in a daze and then realized that she seemed to be lying on something soft.

"Eh?"

Once he realized what was happening, Zhou Si instinctively tried to get up, but a feeling of weakness made him fall back onto the girl's lap.

The silver-haired girl looked at the boy lying on her lap with a smile. For some reason, Zhou Si seemed to see a hint of...kindness in her eyes?

“Good children can’t not eat properly.”

"Ah—open your mouth~"

The silver-haired girl moved Zhou Si's body onto the black phantom beast beside her, then brought a bowl of green meat soup from somewhere and held it to Zhou Si's lips. Looking at the girl in front of him with a somewhat familiar face, Zhou Si felt a great sense of security from her for some reason.

Moreover, he had lost the ability to resist, and his body was almost unable to move. He could only obediently open his mouth and drink the strange meat soup.

To Zhou Si's surprise, the soup, made from some unknown ingredient, contained an astonishing amount of energy. Just this small bowl of soup was enough to restore Zhou Si's mobility.

Zhou Si smacked his lips. Although the taste was just average and the cooking skills were not as good as Lao Niao's, he still wanted another bowl because his stomach was empty.

The silver-haired girl seemed to read his mind and immediately handed him another bowl of meat soup.

"Drink it quickly, there's still plenty left in the pot!"

Huh? Is this how normal dialogue is supposed to be?

The silver-haired girl seemed afraid that he would go hungry, handing Zhou Si bowl after bowl of soup. Only after confirming that he had finished the whole pot of soup did she nod in satisfaction.

So what exactly are you?

Zhou Si's eyes gradually sharpened. After all, he wasn't blind. Once he was full and his mind was clear, anyone could notice the abnormality around them.

They were still in the Crimson Forest, with the traces of his battle with Shesa still clearly visible. But the difference was that the area was now completely covered in frost, and even time and space seemed to be frozen by the cold. The streams stopped flowing, and the raindrops stopped in mid-air.

In the distance, the expressions on the faces of the caged bird and Ellie were full of worry. The scene, which seemed like a hallucination, made Zhou Si wonder if she was really dreaming.

"Silly child, I am your father."

"what?"

The silver-haired girl uttered something that made Zhou Si's mind go blank. Only then did he recall that when he first met Bai, she had been imitating the person in front of him.

Seeing Zhou Si's obvious disbelief, the silver-haired girl seemed troubled about how to prove their parent-child relationship.

"To put it simply, your current life was created by me using my own essence and the power of the world. According to your human physiology, I am indeed your father."

A book appeared in the silver-haired girl's hand at some point. She pushed up her glasses and spoke with reason and evidence, leaving Zhou Si momentarily speechless.

Then she patted the ground that had been frozen by the dark phantom beast and said.

"This is your mother."

Zhou Si nodded thoughtfully.

"Is that why I'm angry? But why did I never feel this way before in the New World?"

"The law of the jungle is part of the ecosystem, but that guy isn't."

The silver-haired girl looked at the snake corpse not far away with disgust. The monster called Honkai Beast only followed its instincts to destroy everything around it, and was undoubtedly an enemy of the ecosystem.

"Of course you'd be angry if your mom got beaten."

Although the girl's expression was rather abstract, Zhou Si still understood what she wanted to say, which also explained his long-standing doubts about what exactly this body was all about.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary college student. How did he become an ultimate life form after transmigrating? Moreover, according to Bai, this matter has nothing to do with the system.

But then the silver-haired girl in front of him gave him the answer.

"Why me? And what do I need to do?"

Zhou Si's expression became complicated. His original world had taught him that there is no such thing as a free lunch. He believed that the girl in front of him was not lying to him, after all, the power to freeze time and space was not fake. But Zhou Si also did not believe that she was some kind of selfless philanthropist. There must be a reason for her doing this.

"Don't be afraid, come sit here."

The silver-haired girl wasn't surprised by his reaction; that was the kind of thinking a normal person would have. She simply smiled gently at Zhou Siwen and then patted the ground beside her.

Zhou Si eventually obediently sat down, after all, he was able to survive in the New World entirely thanks to the cheat code this guy gave him, otherwise he would have ended up in the middle-part guy's stomach the moment he landed.

Even if there's some conspiracy behind this, the girl probably wouldn't kill him now, so Zhou Si chose to give up thinking about it and leave the problem to his future self.

"You've been to other worlds, so you should know that the barriers between worlds aren't actually that strong, and this world is even more so."

"That hunter also told you about the invasion of creatures from other worlds, which is proof that the barriers of this world are gradually weakening."

"Although this world is very tolerant, it is inevitable that some malicious guests will visit. Recently, that guy Elbatlien has been exhausted."

Hearing this, Zhou Si's lips twitched. He had recently started to brush up on some common knowledge about this world under the supervision of the caged bird. If he remembered correctly, this Elbatelion should be referring to the forbidden being known as the "Black Sun"—the Alatreon.

Judging from the girl's words, she seems to be very familiar with Alatreon. Could she also be a taboo?

Where are you, Grand Master? Gu Long has truly become a human!!!

The boomerang that had been thrown not long ago has now slammed into Zhou Si's head. Zhou Si racked his brains but never expected that a seemingly forbidden being would suddenly appear and tell him that she was Zhou Si's father.

"And then you appeared. The book with magical powers on you caught my attention. Then I had a flash of inspiration and decided to create a being that could help me solve this big problem."

Zhou Si understood completely by now. The good news was that the person in front of him didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, but the bad news was that he probably wouldn't have any peace and quiet from now on.

"Young man, you're progressing too slowly. You need to eat more to get balanced nutrition and grow faster."

The silver-haired girl looked at Zhou Si with a hint of disappointment. It was so difficult for her to even defeat the Shesha that she had just chopped down. She was just too lazy!

Chapter 48 Grandma hopes you eat well

The girl's words made Zhou Si quite embarrassed. Since he left the New World, he had indeed become increasingly lazy. After all, without the pressure of survival, his desire to hunt had indeed decreased a lot.

Furthermore, since arriving in the Forbidden Land, he hasn't encountered any monsters that particularly whet his appetite. The Peach-haired Beast King and the Beast-Slaying Beast are really hard to eat.

"You can't go on like this."

The silver-haired girl gently tapped Zhou Si's head twice with her fingers. Her reason for wanting Zhou Si to improve was not just to have him share the burden with her.

For Zhou Si, the silver-haired girl didn't just see him as a tool to deal with future troubles; she genuinely treated him like half a child. Otherwise, she couldn't have sent those monsters there just to collect his corpse, could she? (ps: The Black Flame King in the first chapter is one of them. If I have the chance to write a side story later, I'll write about Zhou Si's survival in the new continent with the savages.)

As the "Ancestor of All Dragons," Miraruz is more than just the origin of monsters. The pulse of this world is already closely connected with it, time and space are merely playthings in its hands, and the wheel of fate turns in its eyes.

Although Zhou Si's fate was very vague in Miraruz's eyes as an outsider, the countless lines intersecting with his fate indicated that his future journey would obviously not be smooth sailing.

To prevent his silly kid from dying on the way, Miraruz decided to come over and personally give him a boost.

"Your future is destined to be filled with countless difficulties. You don't want to end up kneeling on the sidelines crying and saying, 'I can't do anything,' do you?"

The silver-haired girl's words served as a wake-up call for Zhou Si. He subconsciously thought of the caged bird. What if they really encountered a forbidden monster one day? Did they really have the ability to face such a terrifying existence?

Zhou Si felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the stagnant space around him. If the silver-haired girl in front of him wanted to kill them, he couldn't think of any chance of survival.

"what should I do?"

Zhou Si's expression turned serious. He would rather suffer more than encounter something he might regret later. If the girl in front of him wasn't lying, the worst outcome would just be being dispatched to police stations all over the world, which could be considered a paid vacation.

"Don't be so nervous, my child."

"You have plenty of time. As for my requirements, that book will tell you."

The silver-haired girl gently stroked Zhou Si's head, making this guy, who had never felt the warmth of family in over twenty years, feel a little uncomfortable, but even so, he did not show much resistance.

After all, if a suspected forbidden boss is holding your head in his hands, who would dare to move?

Cough cough, but putting that reason aside, Zhou Si did indeed feel a sense of security from the girl in front of him, a feeling of being connected by blood. It's just a pity that this sense of security didn't last long.

"Sigh, another troublesome fellow is here."

The silver-haired girl shook her head with a hint of reproach, then stood up and mounted the jet-black phantom beast again. Elbatelion was dealing with other matters, and Mirapolias was not very obedient, so she could only rely on the old beast to handle things.

"My dear child, I'll come to check on your growth regularly. Remember to eat well!"

The silver-haired girl disappeared without Zhou Si noticing, just as she had arrived. Raindrops fell on him again, and if it weren't for the lingering chill in the air, he would have doubted whether everything he had just experienced was an illusion.

"Lao Zhou, are you alright?!"

"Zhou Si! How are you?"

"Boss! You scared me to death, meow."

The urgent voices of Lonely Bird and Ellie came from behind. Bai Ben wanted to pounce on them, but fearing that Zhou Si was not in good condition, he braked suddenly and stopped halfway.

Seeing this, Zhou Si squatted down and hugged her own Palico, then gave Lone Bird and the others a relaxed smile.

"The campaign against Shesa was successful."

Looking at the huge snake corpse behind Zhou Si, Alicia only relaxed completely after confirming that the Honkai energy reaction within it had completely disappeared.

The lone bird carefully examined Zhou Si for a while, and only after confirming that he was not missing any parts and was not deliberately showing off did it reveal a faint smile.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, and we still have important things to do."

As Zhou Si spoke, he turned his head to look at Shesa's corpse beside him. When Alicia saw him like this, her eyes lit up. She knew this!

"Time to gather material!" x3

The three looked at each other and said at the same time, "This is the most exciting part. The hunters hunt monsters not only to protect the village and maintain the ecology, but also because the materials from the monsters are very rare!"

Legend has it that only hunters favored by fate can extract rare materials such as jewels and celestial scales from the bodies of monsters.

"Caged Bird, do you think it's possible for monsters from another world to drop jade?"

"Forget about your underhanded tactics."

"It's unlikely to find jade, but we might dig out Honkai energy crystals."

The three discussed Shesha's corpse. The raindrops were getting smaller and smaller, and the sunlight shone through the clouds onto the land that Shesha had ravaged. The land that had been submerged in black water had turned grayish-white, but even so, a few branches that had not been corrupted still stood strong.

Just as the three were examining what materials were worth cutting from Shesa's body, a silver-white monster landed beside the corpse of the Wave Dragon. Its chain-like tentacles pierced the Wave Dragon's body, completely absorbing the remaining Honkai energy within it, before flapping its wings and leaving.

————————————————————————————

Three days have passed since the Shesa campaign. Two-thirds of the materials from this visitor from another world were left in the guild for Zhou Si and others to craft new equipment and for scholars to conduct research. The remaining third was given to Dr. Mebius, who was in another world, as payment.

In addition, there are a large number of environmental creatures and small monsters as materials. Mebius is not picky; as long as the materials are from other worlds, they will be helpful to her research.

Olivia, who had lost contact during the battle, was successfully found by Atos and his companions. Tuanzi said that when they found Olivia, she had just gone through a fierce battle, and the unknown monster that had blocked her way had long since disappeared.

This mission has now come to a complete end. Due to his outstanding performance in the mission, the guild judged that Zhou Si was capable of handling things on his own, so they let him form a team on his own.

As for the members...

Zhou Si looked at Melo beside her with a headache, and at Alicia, the temporary team member who was having fun not far away.

The third Great Collapse has just ended in the Honkai world, and there is unlikely to be any trouble in the short term. Therefore, Alicia decided to take a good vacation and stay here for a while to experience the local customs and culture of this other world.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be a problem, but the problem is that Alicia's curiosity is just too strong, and she often does things that make Zhou Si's scalp tingle.

For example, right now, Zhou Si is watching Alicia as she is about to reach out and touch a golden frog.

Wait, what is she going to touch?

"Holy crap, no!!!"

Chapter Forty-Nine: A Lone Bird? Her strength is no less than mine.

Alicia passed away peacefully.
