Chapter 51: The Cave
Somewhere in the forest, two green caterpillars were talking to each other under a large tree, one of which had a straw basket full of fresh leaves on its back.
With the help of the shade of the bushes, Sato Mo watched the communication between the two green caterpillars.
Rather than trying your luck in the forest, it's better to ask the wild elves in the forest. For example, the green caterpillar that has just been planted on his hand. However, the number of green caterpillars is large and the distribution is also wide, but I didn't expect the range of green caterpillars to be so small, and my usual thoughts are mainly focused on finding food and guarding against natural enemies, and my understanding of the forest is also concentrated in my own activity area.
Sato Mo looked at the time and found that it was already more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and he couldn't help but start to feel a little anxious. Now I can only hope for the appearance of a well-informed strange green caterpillar, such as having a good relationship with Bada Butterfly, and I like to chat or something...... Well? There's a play!
"Giggle--"
The green caterpillar puts all its leaves in front of its companions. Then he erected his upper body, waved his little ball foot and said goodbye to his own kind, another green caterpillar, and then came to Sato Mo's side excitedly, shaking his head and saying "......"
"Huh? Any news? Sato Mo touched the green caterpillar, motioned for it to calm down, and said slowly, "Talk as you go, it's good to have news." I don't know how far it is, but it's going to take a while for us to get there. ”
The green caterpillar stayed under Mo's arm and pointed its head in a certain direction, "Gurch! ”
"Over there......" Sato Mo looked up at the direction, it was southwest, "walking, it's not in the central area." ”
"Boom, boom!" According to my friends, there is a terrible elf in the cave over there! The green caterpillar looked at the stinky mud that had easily subdued him, and tried to make a terrible expression.
"Horrible elves?" For a green caterpillar, most pokemon are terrifying! However, to be able to occupy a cave, the strength should be very strong, but I don't know how strong. "How terrible is it, compared to the stinking mud?"
"Huh?" From behind Sato Mo's shoulder, the stinky mud quietly poked his head out, looked at the green caterpillar curiously, and then made a grimace, looked at the frightened green caterpillar, and smiled very proudly: "Beibei~"
“...... Giggle! "The green caterpillars are terrible!
Eh-I know~ Sato Mo rolled his eyes, and then signaled to the stinky mud not to scare the green caterpillar anymore, now the green caterpillar is our guide, and we have to rely on it to lead the way! If you really want to scare, wait until you reach the destination~
"呗~"
The green caterpillar stopped again and inquired with his little friend, reconfirming that the direction was correct. Moji Sato picked up the green caterpillar, determined the direction, and entered the forest again.
I always felt that this side was a little familiar, and shook his head, Sato Mo thanked the green caterpillar with a smile, "Thank you, please have a big meal later." Whew, exhausted. ”
In the sound of "cluck~~" of the green caterpillar, it is customary to use branches to pluck away the weeds in front of them. Ahead is an open space, the ground is charred and roughly circular...... Isn't this the place where the wind speed dog burns down? No wonder it looks familiar. Sato Mo subconsciously wanted to cover the Poke Ball with the hem of his clothes, but suddenly realized that he was wearing a camouflage uniform. However, we still have to hurry up!
Under the incomprehensible eyes of the green caterpillar, Momo Sato trotted all the way through the land ravaged by the wind speed dogs, and waited for the shade to cover himself again, and then gasped and leaned against the trunk.
"Southwest....... Hey, I remember there's a river 2-3 kilometers away in this direction, it can't be over there, right? Oh my God, this is a mountain road! Sato Mo couldn't help but let out a wail, hugging the green caterpillar tightly, "You have a lot of friends!" ”
"Oh, tsk~" yes, I'm going to suffocate~
There was no sound in the mountain paths, only the birds chirping. The young Sato Mo couldn't stand the gradually rising temperature, so he could only drag his camouflage uniform and numbly move his legs. Sato Mo didn't have the heart to estimate how much distance there was left, the mountain road was rugged, and the peace was different, and for the same distance, the actual distance taken down the mountain road might be several times longer. If you have to climb like Moto Sato, the distance is even more exaggerated.
Eh-Sato Mo used his hands and feet together, and climbed the small hill in front of him with great effort, panting, looking at the mountains in front of him, his legs fell directly to the ground with a weak leg: Mom~~
"No, no, I really want to go back!" Amu Sato lay on the hillside, looking at the sky.
Turning his head sideways to avoid the powerful sunlight in the sky, Sato Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at a suspicious black spot somewhere on the mountain wall: "Huh? What is that? ”
As soon as his waist was forced, Momo Sato jumped suddenly...... Well, forgetting that he was still lying on the hillside, Sato Mo didn't stand still and rolled down the hill directly, with Sato Mo "Ouch!! and the green caterpillars and the skunk mud concern (?) Greetings.
There were no serious injuries, only some minor bumps, and after doing a simple treatment on the spot, Sato Mo looked at the place and pushed away the dense branches and weeds in front of him, and got into it.
This road is getting harder and harder, look at the time, it's already more than 3 o'clock, the more you go, the more panicked Sato Mo becomes, what if you see it wrong? In the end, I gritted my teeth and continued to move forward.
Finally through the bushes that got in the way, Sato Mo came to the vicinity of the mountain wall, and saw the cave on the mountain wall, Sato Mo, who was in a state of excitement, almost stepped on the air, but fortunately, the stinky mud reacted quickly and fixed Sato Mo.
The sound of falling stones was heard.
Kneeling on the ground, Sato Mo brushed away the weeds in front of him, and the scene in front made Sato Mo's face pale: it was a bottomless dirt pit.
O Forehead God! Sato Mo tried to throw a stone into it, and it took a long time to hear the sound of the stone falling to the ground. According to the speed of sound propagation, Sato Mo roughly estimated that the cave was about ...... Well, it's probably that deep! Anyway, if you fall by yourself, you will definitely die.
Circumventing this deep hole, which may have been made by an elf like the Great Rock Snake, Ink Sato made a mark around with trepidation: the mud of the stinky mud.
Stepping over the exposed white bones, Sato Mo suppressed the throbbing in his heart, pulled the stinky mud that was a little uneasy to the bottom of the rock wall, and looked at the cave. The cave sits north and faces south (no wonder I didn't see it when I came), and the eaves of the cave protrude outward, forming a slope cover that can shelter a certain amount of rainwater. There is a certain slope below, and Momo Sato tried it, but he couldn't climb it on his own (with both hands and feet), and Momu Sato, who had slid to the ground again, thought so.
In the end, it was still carried by the stinky mud, and Sato Mo came to the entrance of the cave. Looking at the ground, Sato estimated that it was about 5 meters above the ground, and above the cave was a rock wall covered with vines. The entrance to the cave is irregular in shape, with the highest point measuring nearly 2 meters and the width about 4 meters.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Sato Mo could see a few blue orange fruit trees not far away, and he could faintly hear the sound of running water.
What a great place~
Of course, Amu Sato will think so, and so will the other elves.
