Chapter 33: In the Woods

Swish!

The emerald green snake head with its mouth wide open, showing its fangs and snake letters, fell to the ground, and Takumi pulled up the firewood knife that had been split into the trunk of the tree without saying a word, ignoring the headless snake body wrapped around the vines in the air, and continued to walk forward.

Even if Takumi and Ah Cheng sprayed their bodies with insect repellent potions every three or four hours, there would always be some snakes and insects intent to attack, but with Takumi, who had been cheering up, and with the cooperation of Rokuo and Little Lada, these seemingly small, but potentially deadly threats were eliminated one by one.

Ah Cheng watched all this silently, and there was no other emotion except for subconsciously frowning.

It's not that he's indifferent to this, it's that he's seen too many similar scenes in the past few days, and Ah Cheng even thinks that if there is a snake that can't move lying in front of him, he can also smash its head with the wooden stick in his hand......

"Little Lada!"

The little Lada who was walking in front of him suddenly made a sound, Ah Cheng and Takumi rushed forward in an instant without thinking, cutting off the branches and leaves blocking the front to the ground with a few knives, Takumi successfully saw the little Lada lying on the ground on all fours, vigilantly staring at the little Lada on the side.

I was relieved at first, after all, it was a Pokémon that I had cultivated for a while, and if something unexpected happened, I was sure that I would be distressed.

Shifting his gaze to the direction of Little Lada's gaze, Takumi's eyelids twitched slightly.

Ah Cheng, who came closely, subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand after seeing what Takumi and Little Lada were staring at, and let out a low 'woo' sound.

Takumi didn't feel strange about Ah Cheng's reaction, in fact, in his opinion, if Ah Cheng didn't react when he saw this thing, it would be a strange thing.

Under a large tree as far as the eye could see, all sorts of debris were scattered on the ground, and between the debris, three pieces of mutilated human bones were interspersed, and Takumi even found a few bones with tooth marks and flesh threads not far in front of him.

At this time, there was no muscle tissue on the three bones, and Takumi even made up a few Pokémon in his brain, and even ordinary animals fought around here for 'food'.

Walking into the side of the bones with Six Tails and Little Lada, Takumi slightly observed the broken surface of the three bones, and the smooth bone section made Takumi feel a chill in his heart.

Comparing it to his own memories, Takumi roughly imagined the last thing the unknown trainer saw before he died.

Two extremely fast silver rays of light, one up and one on the left, one on the right, instantly cut off the trainer's body and plunged him into eternal darkness without any reaction.

"Flying Mantis!"

Licking his dry lips, for the current Takumi, this kind of powerful and rare Pokémon, he really doesn't want to see.

Because now he doesn't have the ability to subdue at all, on the contrary, his own death is a high probability event that may occur after the encounter!

"Ah Cheng, let's find out if there are any items that can be used, and after checking, we will move forward immediately, and it is now less than two hours before three o'clock in the afternoon."

After squatting down and searching for more than ten seconds in the nearby debris, Takumi's movements suddenly slowed down, and he said without looking back.

"I know what you're thinking, it's just that this person is dead, and I still have to touch his belongings before his death, which really seems very inhuman and moral."

Picking up a good switchblade and putting it in his backpack, Takumi continued.

"But he's dead!"

"The dead can't speak, the dead don't have a future, and the dead don't think about humanity and morality!"

"Now that you have embarked on the path of being a trainer, let's try to keep yourself alive and make yourself stronger! Because once he dies, he will be like this guy who doesn't even have a name, and he will use the lesson of blood to warn those who come after him. ”

"The path of a Pokémon trainer is dangerous......"

Among the debris scattered on the ground, there were not many good and useful things, Takumi quickly stood up and looked at Ah Cheng, who had a hesitant look in his eyes.

"Go?"

After a little hesitation, Ah Cheng still came to Tuohai's side, but his eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look at Tuohai.

With a sigh in his heart, Takumi had already decided to separate from Ah Cheng after arriving in Hongyun City.

'Although Ah Cheng has a good nature, he is not the kind of guy who will take revenge, but it seems that he is too young because he is too young, and his pure worldview is really incompatible with himself, and he can be regarded as a friend, but he cannot be unreserved......

silently determined the attitude towards Ah Cheng in his heart, Ah Cheng didn't know how to speak, and the two were silent for a while.

It wasn't until the red mist in the air had grown from nothing and the concentration was still intensifying that Tuohai and Ah Cheng stopped, and at this time, the two of them, who had a much lighter atmosphere, joined forces to clear a small clearing, sprinkled insect repellent powder, and prepared to rest.

About ten kilometers away from Takumi's residence, the trio of Team Rocket also stopped.

It's not that you can't rush when the red mist is full, but when the visibility is less than five meters, rushing in the dangerous red mist forest is like handing over your own life to ordinary trainers.

"Alpha Snake, clean up all the creatures on this tree!"

Giving an order to a large purple snake with a body length of 1.5 meters curled up beside him, the Aba snake glanced at Musashi with fierce and cold eyes, and when he saw Musashi staring at it without flinching, he immediately twisted his body and climbed towards the tree that Musashi was pointing to.

After the snake climbed down from the tree again, the two of them quickly fixed their sleeping bags between the branches, and then chatted boredly on the tree.

"This newly-haired Aba snake is very wild, and its cold eyes make my scalp a little numb~"

Rubbing his claws on the rough bark, Meow Meow looked at the Aba snake wrapped around the branch, and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"It's a pity that the large-mouthed bat, which I used before, died in the last mission, otherwise I wouldn't have applied for a new Pokémon from above."

Helplessly holding his chin, sitting on the trunk of the tree Musashi was also a little sullen, the supersonic bat that was issued when he entered the rocket team had been cultivated by her to become a large-mouthed bat, and his sudden death also made Musashi sad for a long time.

Hearing what Musashi said, Kojiro also sighed and said indignantly.

"Suddenly summoned so many people to encircle and suppress the flame birds, and in the end there was nothing but a few bird feathers, and my large-billed finch was burned alive until it was seven minutes cooked."

"By the way, Musashi, you may not know, the Yuji boss we met in Sunshine Town before is said to have been called up to participate in this operation, and as a result, he was killed by a big character explosion along with his Pokémon......"

The two of them said a word, and I said a word, and turned a conversation into a complaint and venting about the last mission, so after more than an hour of verbosity, Musashi and Kojiro's mentality has recovered a lot.

"But this new gas bomb I got always looks a little silly, which doesn't fit my smart and handsome image at all!"

The gas bomb that slowly circled around the tree where Kojiro and the others were suddenly stopped in front of Kojiro, and stared at Kojiro with its dull eyes for a minute before continuing to circle up and down.

"Look, you're a......"

"yes, and Kojiro you look like a meow~"

Replying nonchalantly, Meow Meow then pointed to Musashi, who was nodding, and sighed.

"Look, even Musashi thinks so, which means that you are stupid and you can even see the stupidity~"

Kojiro and Musashi glanced at each other, and they didn't need words to communicate at all, and the two already understood what they meant to each other.

In the next second, the two of them pushed Meow Meow, who was sitting between the two of them, one left and one right.

"Meow~ You two bastards!"

Listening to the miserable howl of Meow, Musashi and Kojiro's mood instantly became happy, and even some hard dry food seemed to be particularly delicious to eat.

……

The next day, as the sun gradually rose, the red mist in the Red Mist Forest began to slowly fade.

After entering the Red Mist Forest for several days, Takumi, who had gradually adapted to the environment here, dared to set off when there was still a thin red mist.

Ah Cheng followed Takumi closely behind Takumi like a fart like a fart, and yesterday's tangled appearance had all dissipated.

"Takumi, shall we take in a few Pokémon in this forest?"

As she walked, Ah Cheng suddenly stopped, slapped her forehead suddenly, and looked at Takumi who was frightened by her sudden movements.

Syllable!

slapped the back of Ah Cheng's head, looking at this guy squatting down with tears in his eyes, Takumi stroked his chin and looked like he suddenly realized.

"Don't you say I've forgotten, we're Pokémon trainers, survival in the wild is just incidental, and subduing new Pokémon is what should be done......"

lifted the innocent Ah Cheng from the ground, and Takumi entered the usual state of analysis.

"There is no need to accept Pokémon that are too weak, and we don't have the strength to accept Pokémon that are too strong, so there are not many options left......"

In the past few days since entering the Red Mist Forest, Takumi and the two have not met Pokémon, Rada, Pyras, and even Aber Snake have all met.

However, due to entering the forest for the first time, Takumi and the two of them both retreated after confronting the Pokémon for a while, after all, no one knows if they will attract other powerful Pokémon after being injured.

"It's a matter of luck, if we meet the right target again, we'll do it!"

After making his decision, Takumi subconsciously slowed down, after all, he couldn't run around the forest by himself, risking getting lost in the forest to find Pokémon.

You can only move slowly along the predetermined route, hoping to meet the right Pokémon a few times.

"Na~ Do you want to take this Pokémon Takumi?"

A puzzled voice sounded beside him, and Takumi looked in the direction of Ah Cheng's finger in surprise, looking at a large brown-yellow flesh worm with horns on its head that came out of the grass.

"It's a unicorn...... The final evolved version of the unicorn bee is a good Pokémon, but as I recall, the colony of the giant needle bee is a swarm...... Resident! ”

As he spoke, Tuohai's face changed sharply, and without saying a word, he pulled Ah Cheng and ran behind him!

The unicorn worm that came out of the grass looked up curiously and glanced at the direction of Takumi's escape, not caring about Takumi's distance from the two, slowly squirming on the ground, crawling in the direction that Takumi was originally going to go.
