Chapter 3: The Lake of Dreams
Chiba carefully avoided the vulnerable areas around the burrow while carefully observing the movements of the nearby jawed ants, and soon he came across a slow-moving large-jawed ant.
Chiba's eyes lit up, but then he felt a little pity, this big-jawed ant looked a little thin and a little stunted. However, Chiba didn't expect to find an elf that matched his heart so soon.
However, he can track down this big-jawed ant and find the underground lake called the Dream Lake, so that the big-jawed ants can evolve collectively, and there must be something good there.
At the same time, there are also a large number of large-jawed ants and ultrasonic larvae, which is enough for Chiba to find excellent individuals.
Seeing that the big-jawed ant was about to crawl into the burrow, Chiba hurriedly called for the bear and chased after him.
"Straight to the bear, use the scent detection, remember the smell of that jawed ant, and we'll chase after it"
"Magu~" sniffed straight at the bear's nose, and then followed.
"It went into the hole, and went straight to the bear and dug the hole to widen the hole, and we went down too."
"Magu~"
Chiba grabbed the body of the straight bear, slowly slid down the edge of the hole, and when he was close to the hole, the straight bear directly expanded the hole by digging the hole, allowing Chiba to enter it smoothly.
"Ahem, ahem, let's go straight to the bear" The dust stirred up when entering the cave still made Chiba can't help but cough a few times.
"Magu~" rushed to the bear and reminded Chiba to let it follow, and then chased after the big jawed ant
The cave ** is a little dim, but you can still see the road clearly, in order to reduce the precaution of the big jaw ants, Chiba did not use a flashlight. In addition, the use of a flashlight in a cave can easily stimulate the elves who live in a dim environment, and the flashlight is not needed when they can see the road clearly.
The jawed ant moves much faster than on land, but it's easy to keep up, and after countless turns and burrowing, Chiba gradually hears the sound of the water flowing, and the direction of the big-jawed ant is getting closer to the current, and the sound is getting louder and louder.
"I'm so lucky, I didn't expect to find the Lake of Dreams for the first time, it seems that I am also a person with the aura of the protagonist," Chiba thought happily.
"Plop!"
"Ahh Straight to the bear... Hmm"
At a moment when Chiba was distracted, the rock under his feet suddenly shattered, and it was too late to take action, so Chiba could only stop the bear and let it come to the rescue.
"Magu~" immediately turned around and jumped into the shattered cave.
"I go straight to the bear and surf it"
"Magu Magu~" rushed to the bear's eyes with blue light, and a huge wave floated under him, instantly overtaking Chiba and carrying him on his back.
"Thanks, Straight Bear, keep using the surf to slow us down like this" Hearing the louder sound of water in front of us, there should be another waterfall, so Chiba immediately slowed down Straight Bear.
"Magu~"
Sure enough, there is a small waterfall that comes out of this undercurrent, but it really looks like a city drain, and Chiba secretly complains.
With the help of the straight bear, Chiba successfully went ashore. After a short break, Chiba began to survey her surroundings. It has to be said that the Creator is magical, and the Lake of Dreams, as its name suggests, is beautiful and dreamy.
The water is clear and turquoise, and an island stretches inward from the edge of the lake, with many large jawed ants and ultrasonic larvae. There are many other spirits living around the lake, such as walking grass, Mary Lou, and shuttlecock grass.
The top of the lake is covered with dome-like rocks, but there is a large crack in the middle that allows the sun to shine directly down to the small islands in the lake.
"Such a beautiful place is really something that you can only see when you go out on a trip," Chiba sighed secretly.
After enjoying the scenery of the Dream Lake, Chiba also began to observe the qualifications and status of the surrounding elves. It can be found that perhaps because the surrounding environment is too good, the elves here are in much better condition than on the surface. And the personality is relatively docile, and there is no active attack on Chiba.
However, there is a slightly strange phenomenon, that is, the elves on the small island in the lake are only large jawed ants and ultrasonic larvae, and other kinds of elves tacitly do not go to the island. It's like it's a forbidden place.
Seeing this phenomenon, Chiba did not stupidly walk forward directly, but opened his backpack and began to cook. If it weren't for the worry of losing the big jaw ant, Chiba would have started to enjoy lunch with Naorush Bear at this time.
After the invention of the Space Backpack, the life of the traveler has improved dramatically, and Chiba has never treated himself and the elves badly when it comes to eating.
Take a look at the straight bear, from the regular staple food to the after-dinner snacks, to the energy cubes that are usually beaten, Chiba tries to make it himself as much as possible to make nutritious food that meets the taste of the elves. The effect is also very obvious, and the body of the straight bear is nearly twice as large as its kind.
Of course, it also needs to cooperate with effective training, otherwise it will be embarrassing to gain weight. When facing a group of strange elves, taking out elf food is a proven way to get closer. Of course, ordinary people can't afford to consume it, so they just invite a group of elves to eat.
There must be a huge difference in taste between food in the wild and processed food, and Chiba has done her homework for this day. Take Ash and his party as an example, they abducted an unknown number of elves with food, and Chiba has long wanted to try this.
So he cleverly chose the camp next to the road to the island. And then start seducing ... No, it's to attract the attention of the surrounding elves.
Sure enough, as the aroma of the ingredients in the pot gradually spread, the elves around who were hiding at first all popped up one by one, sniffing the smell of gluttony in the air with their noses.
Chiba continued to observe the surroundings quietly, thinking to himself, "Come on, come on, the delicious food is here", and the movements of his hands kept putting the food that was going straight to the bear on a plate and handing it to it.
"I'm sorry for you, go straight to the bear, eat it quickly, and you have to show it to the fullest."
“… Magu Magu~" Rushing Bear rolled his eyes at Chiba very humanely, but he still called twice very cooperatively, in fact, he was also looking forward to the addition of a new partner.
Finally, one of the Mary Lous couldn't help but jump out of the aquatic grass and made a cute stare at Chiba.
"Mary Lou, come and eat, I've made a lot" Chiba said this, but in her heart she thought "Come on, come on, come on!" You're all here, is my big-jawed ant still far away? Hey, hey, hey."
Mary Lou looked at the food in front of her, smelled the tempting aroma, and ate it without hesitation. Seeing this, the elves around couldn't help it, and stepped forward one after another and surrounded Chiba.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's all there, everyone line up and come one by one" Chiba tried his best to show a kind smile and not let the devil's horns be exposed.
At this time, the big-jawed ants in the lake were finally alarmed, but perhaps because of the blood of the dragon clan in their bodies, they had the pride of the dragon clan and resisted the temptation at the beginning. But seeing that the tempting food was about to be divided, a big-jawed ant finally couldn't help it and walked towards Chiba.
