"I'm unlucky~"

In a cave in the back mountain, Kamio Ichihei shook his head and sighed.

They had been searching here for half an hour, but there was no sign of the Great Rock Serpent.

Sora looked easy to follow behind, and a cave of this magnitude could not be compared to Tsukimiyama in terms of size or complexity. Before, he heard from his father that there were only two pairs of large rock snakes here, and then more than a dozen were slowly bred, but compared to this huge underground world, the number was still too small.

Large rock snakes generally live in the mountains or in the mineral-rich plains, as they feed on huge rocks. Speaking of which, this kind of elf is very popular with civilian trainers, and its gentle temperament and easy to feed are its two major characteristics. Unlike in the game, in the real world, strength and size are generally directly equated. In addition, the large rock snake has a certain growth, you must know that its design prototype is a greedy snake and an earthworm, and its size will gradually increase with the increase in the number of rocks swallowed, which is the reason for the previously mentioned super huge rock snake, and artificial feeding will speed up this process.

Also, if you own a large rock snake, congratulations you don't have to worry about getting lost in the wild again. It has magnets in its brain, so it won't get lost even if it digs deeper. I heard that some people have discovered hot springs and gold mines by relying on the characteristics of the large rock snake.

But despite all its benefits, the drawbacks are obvious. Among the 18 attributes, fighting, ground, steel, water, grass, and ice all restrain it, and the water and grass systems are still four times restrained, so it is not suitable for participating in competitions, and it is always suppressed to death on the battlefield. However, since the doctor is about to officially propose the new attribute of the steel system, and its evolutionary "big steel snake" is bound to be announced, I believe that the world will soon set off a wave of craze to capture the big rock snake.

But you can't let the Great Rock Serpent evolve, thinking silently in your heart.

The doctor's speculation is that the Great Rock Serpent has accumulated steel that has been swallowed with dirt, and it took a long time and the high temperature and high pressure of the underground environment to change its body, but Sora knows how to make it evolve into a large steel snake by carrying a metal film exchange.

It's not that I didn't want to make money by selling this information. But the crux of the matter is that he doesn't know what the metal film is, it's just a prop in the game, and in reality, I don't know. But he didn't have to worry too much, not to mention that the alliance trading function couldn't be opened until he became an official trainer, and he wasn't ignorant of metal films, and the memories of his previous life reminded him that this thing should have something to do with the steel smelter.

"Bah-"

Suddenly, Nana whispered softly in her empty ear, stretched out her paw and pointed to the tunnel on the right.

"Do you feel the movement of the Great Rock Serpent?" Sora hurriedly asked.

"Babble!" Nana flicked her tail impatiently, as if to say, don't you believe me?

"Okay, okay, I know you're the best." Empty patted her little head and immediately told her father this information.

"To the right?" Kamio's father had no doubts about Nana's prompt, and immediately took everyone to change the route.

Trusting elves is also a necessary quality for a mature trainer.

On the way after that, the sun elves showed everyone the direction many times, and as the exploration deepened, the traces of new excavations on the ground became more and more obvious.

Finally, they stopped in front of a rock wall.

"No way?" Xiao Mao looked at Nana on the empty shoulder, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident, did you point the wrong way?

Nana immediately glared at him, she had evolved to read human expressions with ease.

Sora doesn't think so, the name Espeon is a combination of extrasensory perception (ESP) and the suffix (eon) of Eevee's evolutionary form. The hair on its whole body is quite sensitive, and it can detect the slightest changes in the air, and the movement of the large rock snake digging is so loud that there is no reason to find the wrong way. Moreover, as Nana's trainer, he has 100% trust in her.

If he said that, he stared at the dead end in front of him, and the only possibility was ......

"Down there!"

He shouted as he pointed to a pile of new dirt at Kamio's feet.

"Stay away!" Father Shenwei suddenly realized, "Big steel snake! 【Dig a hole】! ”

Sora and Shigeru quickly retreated to the rear when they heard this.

"Smack!"

The massive body of the large steel snake appeared in the cave. It habitually raised its head and slammed into the top of the cave with a "bang", rubbing off a large area of earth and rock. The huge, hideous head shook and looked at Kamio Kazuhei with a puzzled gaze.

Untrained elves are really hard to control.

"[Dig a hole]! Use [Dig a hole] Ah, stupid! Father Kamio was so angry that he kicked it hard, but the big steel snake didn't move, but his own eyes and nose were wrinkled, and it looked like it hurt enough.

Finally made the big steel snake understand what he should do, and Dad Kamio leaned against the wall and gasped, feeling more tired than fighting with others.

No matter how many times you look at the digging speed of the big steel snake, it will make people feel shocked, especially when it twists its body and burrows into the ground, the dust raised in the sky and the huge roar it emits are all showing its sense of existence.

Soon, there was no sign of it on the ground, and only the occasional vibration from under his feet let everyone know that it was still nearby. The underground battles were much more terrifying than expected, and as someone who had almost been buried alive once, Sora knew all the more about it. The inability to discern directions, the darkness, the silence, and the tremendous pressure that gnaws at your mind all the time, perhaps only elves can endure this environment for a long time.

Since the battlefield was underground, he could only imagine the battle scene of the two giant beasts under dozens of tons of dirt by relying on the occasional loud noise and the shaking of the earth. It must be entangled with each other like the closest lovers, and tearing each other like the fiercest enemies, this is a purely instinctive confrontation, and the trainer's orders are of no use.

In the corner, Sora and Shigeru quietly waited for the battle to end, and Nana once again held up the barrier of [telekinesis], keeping out the smoke and gravel.

"Step back a little longer! Something is coming out! Kamio yelled in this direction, and the vibration he felt stronger as he got closer.

Before the words fell, a loud "boom" exploded behind him, accompanied by a large amount of earth and stones, overwhelmingly surging towards him. Frightened, Dad Kamio hurriedly threw himself forward, but even so, half of his body was buried in the soil.

"Dad!" Flying over, he dragged him out.

"Ahem!" Kamio's father gnawed on a mouthful of mud, but fortunately his body was not injured.

Finding that his father was fine, Sora relieved himself and shone his flashlight on the rock wall. There is no suspense, the big steel snake wins. It was looking around triumphantly, as if it was still secretly refreshed by the abuse it had just done, not realizing that it had almost tricked its trainer.

As it burrowed most of its body out of the ground, Sora also saw the condition of the large rock snake. It was tightly wrapped around the tail of the big steel snake and slowly dragged out, and its originally sturdy body was full of cracks. It was silent, and if it weren't for the occasional movement of its tail, Sora would have thought it had been killed by the big steel snake.

Father Shenwei patted the soil on his body, first put the unconscious big rock snake into the ball, and then knocked on the big steel snake that came over to invite merit, and scolded "You rammer".

The big steel snake that didn't understand what he had done wrong lay on the ground, drawing circles with his thick and long tail, looking very aggrieved.

In the end, it was also a spirit captured by himself, Kamio Kazuhei thought about it and didn't mean it just now, so he threw a large handful of green energy cubes into its mouth.

This big steel snake has an arrogant personality and likes bitterness the most, and after chewing it a little, he immediately fell in love with this snack. It leaned over to Kamio Ichihei flatteringly, but he didn't expect that it was too big to brake the car, so it hit him again, and he was so angry that Kamio's father kicked it a few more times.

After all the goals were achieved, the group returned the same way, and naturally enjoyed the beautiful scenery again on the way.

When I returned to Xiaomao's house, it was already noon. Several people ran back and forth in the back mountains, and only when they stopped did they feel tired and hungry. Thankfully, Miss Nanami had prepared lunch, and everyone had forgotten about the Doctor while enjoying the feast.

After eating, the three of them sat on the sofa to rest. At this time, Nanami handed Xiaomao a bento and asked him to bring it to his grandfather.

"That's right! The Doctor is still waiting! Dad Kamio patted his head and remembered the teacher's request. I hurriedly changed my shoes and ran out.

Sora and Xiao Mao looked at each other, both read the embarrassment in each other's eyes, chased them out to take a look, and could only see a black shadow in the sky, in order to hurry, Daddy Shenwei even used the dragonfly.

Hurried to Lab 4, where the experiment had already begun for a while. Inside the huge glass cover, the two big snakes were separated, and they both looked a little uneasy.

Sora and Shigeru's arrival didn't affect anyone, and all the researchers, including Kamio's father, did their work in an orderly manner, efficiently and quickly.

I only heard the doctor calmly give instructions and said: "The fourth stage of the experiment, the content [poison], the time is 3 minutes, the countdown is 5 seconds, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, start!" ”

Then Sora saw that the glass cover was slowly filling with lilac gas.

The big steel snake looked at the creeping purple qi beside him inexplicably, what is this for? Spray paint me? I think this silver skin looks pretty good.

Unlike the large rock snake that was a little restless on the side, [Poison] was ineffective against it.

Three minutes passed, the gas was instantly cleared, and a warm yellow light from the glass cover shone all over the two elves, and both elves calmed down and seemed to feel very comfortable.

Is it [Healing Waves]? Sora suddenly felt that this light was very familiar, wasn't it the yellow light on the healing machine in the PC. He had just wanted to say that this kind of experiment was a bit inhumane, but now it seemed that the doctors were fully prepared and would not harm the elves.

After that, it was sprinkled and heated up, although it was controlled within the range of mild stimulation, and the two elves were still tossed lightly.

"Okay, let's get here first, the cultivation team calms the elves' emotions, and the medical team checks whether the experiment has left any dark wounds on the elves, and the analysis results are out? Take it for me to see. "At this time, Dr. Oki has a bit of an authoritative appearance.

Not interested in watching them continue to play with the snake's Sora and Xiaomao, they left quietly after leaving the lunch.

……

In the evening, Kamio's father called, asking him to live at Xiaomao's house first, and tonight he and Kamio Suzuko are afraid that they will have to work overtime, Sora said that he knew and asked them to pay attention to rest, and then hung up the phone.

At night, Sora lies in bed and thinks a lot, the world is more realistic than he imagined.

He clearly understands what kind of creatures humans are, and even his own kind can be sacrificed for the advancement of science, let alone elves? However, the perfect experimental conditions at the doctor's place opened his eyes, and although the elves were the subject of research, they were not mistreated, but were carefully protected.

So, is this the same way for the rest of the Alliance? What about these organizations of Team Rocket? Sora didn't want to think about it anymore, and more and more strange thoughts made him a little irritated......

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it first, this is what Sora has always done, he decided to witness these things with his own eyes in the future, if there is indeed a cat, he doesn't mind using his own power to change the world.

"Nana, turn off the lights!"

"Bah!"

The Sun Elf's [Mental Power] moved slightly, and the room suddenly became pitch black.

"Good night~"

"Babble~"

Either way, I'll protect you.

……

"Don't get into my clothes! It's very itchy! ”

"Huh?"
