Chapter 367: Joking Around (1/2)

In the sky, a shadow came into his vision, backlighting the moonlight and making it hard for Kai to see the species of this shadow. However, one thing for sure.

'It's huge?' Kai narrowed his eyes.

The shadow slowly descended to the ground, revealing its true appearance.

”Wha—” Kai stepped back when he saw the protector landing in front of him with that giant body and immediately laying down on the ground.

Without any care of its appearance, she made herself comfortable before greeting the two. ”Yahoo…I have heard the news.”

”Clot. You are finally here. You lazy bum.”

”You know how I operate, right? I rushed here and only got an insult. Are you going to bully me again?”

”…” Kai couldn't say anything. A few things shocked him, but the first thing that lingered in his mind was the protector. It had a hairy body and sharp claw, but more importantly, it looked like a sloth, but a giant one.

Its height alone was around ten meters. He didn't see it earlier because the sloth was too far, but the wingspan of this sloth was enormous.

She looked at him and stretched its claw. The speed was very slow as if she didn't want to do it, but Kai waited for it and heard her saying. ”Nice to meet you. I am Moclothesp, this guy calls me Clot, so you can call me with that name too.”

Kai was startled to see that the sloth was asking for a handshake, so he immediately shook her claw.

”Nice to meet you. I am Kai Carter. Just call me Kai.”

”So, what are we doing here other than greeting this guy, Tris?” She asked lazily.

”I don't know. We will only have a warm chat with him and since the humans are spending their time to keep us in check. Maybe we can take this guy as a hostage.” The dolphin said jokingly.

”…” Even though he could feel he didn't mean his statement, he still couldn't dismiss it just like that.

”Well, I am too lazy to take care of him, so if you want to take the guy, you can do it. For me, as long as they don't reach the deepest area, I won't make a move…After all, they often spotted me in the past.”

”True enough.” The dolphin nodded. ”They were pretty good to my kin as well.”

”So, what do you want to do?” She asked Kai this time.

”Ehm…Can I access the internet?” Kai asked.

”Internet?”

”Yeah. I want to know more about you.” Kai nodded.

”Hmm…Show us?” The dolphin narrowed his eyes.

Kai opened his device and started accessing the internet, searching for their identity or myth in the human database. Not long after, he found the giant sloth's identity.

”This is me?” Clot asked.

”Probably. This is the one that fits you the most…” Kai nodded.

”What's in it?”

”You can't read?”

”Of course, we can't. We can only speak other languages. I mean, we only need to know how they talk and construct it in our minds, so we know how to use their language. That's all.” Clot looked at Kai as if she was talking to a fool.

”Yeah. If not, we will need a very long time to learn other languages. That's why most of us only learn languages from the magical beasts around us. I don't know if you have noticed it, but that's the reason why the people of the sea only control their sea beasts.”

”!!!” Kai suddenly understood what he meant and recalled all the past events. 'It was indeed true that the protectors from the sea only controlled the sea beasts. There was one instance where we fought in an underground nest, but it was the zodiac that controlled the beasts, not him.

'In other words, the dolphin said the truth regarding them to only be able to speak with sea beasts. This was important information for Kai because it would be useful in future wars.

'Still, I am confused. I don't know why the failed zodiacs could talk to the beasts around them. Or they might not be able to talk to them, but the other party was the one understanding them. And those intelligent beasts conveyed the order because the zodiacs were a kind of their family.

'That was the only explanation.' He thought while looking at the sloth and the dolphin.

”What? You are not going to read it?” Clot sulked.

Kai hurriedly replied. ”Of course I will read it. There is not much information around, so I will just say a few things. You are considered the mapinguari. The people described you as someone related to a cyclops…I mean, a monster that has one eye.

”And you often got spotted between the woods, making people worship you as a mythical creature or something.”
