Chapter 9: Which one do you choose, the wilderness or the cave?
Genie Center.
"Miss Joy, please help me with my big needle bee!" was knocked out by Wu Neng so cleanly, Su Ming was actually a little lost in his heart, otherwise he would not have left without greeting.
Originally, I wanted to summon a powerful retinue to come out and find a way to get back to the field, but there was no need to think about it, it was originally a whim to think about a trainer's addiction, and it was not interesting to win with summoning retinues.
This failure made Su Ming put away his underestimation of this world, the battle in the real world is not like the big move in the animation, no matter how many strong enemies you have, look at me 100,000 volts.
By the time the big needle bee did a good job of health care, Su Ming's mood had already returned to calm.
Since he didn't catch up with the protagonist and his party, Su Ming didn't plan to chase it immediately, on the one hand, he had to make up his living expenses as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he was two days away, and he couldn't catch up even if he chased it.
Besides, Billy's words yesterday reminded Su Ming that the protagonist and his party are full of love and have been following them, so how can they level up. After all, the experience points obtained by just defeating are very small, and when you reach level 6 in a few days, the experience points obtained by beating away the elves are not enough, and you will always miss and kill so many... Most.
Rather than being tied up and simply going with the flow, the experience required to level up is increasing, and the low-level monsters are becoming more and more ineffective, and there is no need to deliberately ravage the small animal upgrade at that time.
Now that he has decided to lay a good foundation first, Su Ming simply went back to the Hunter Club and saw what tasks he had to make money.
"Buying an electric shock beast: 9,000 yuan"
"Buying a gem starfish: 8,000 yuan"
"Buying a Yanhui skill learning machine: 3,000 yuan"
"Long-term acquisition of a large number of various elves: 800 yuan for small fist stones, 900 yuan for unicorns, 900 yuan for spiny tails, ......"
Sure enough, you can't get the expensive ones, and the local ones are worthless. Last night's entrance fee was 1,000, and the two major health expenses of the big needle bee were 400, and then the accommodation and meals were deducted, and there were only more than 400 on the body.
Buy two Poké Balls and go to the quarry to catch Pokemon! This time, I have to save more money before leaving, I have never given money to my family on the earth before, but now Su Ming really feels that it is difficult to move an inch without money.
Nibi City Quarry.
Take you as the original accumulation of my initial stage! Keeping the needle bee on guard, Su Ming summoned a creature that was just enough to summon mana after reaching level 6.
Summoning - Frozen Smasher: Rare quality, Mana Cost: 6, Spirit Occupied: 2.
The oval-shaped body of the light blue ice element was nearly the size of a bus, and the entire front of the body was a huge face, two arms on either side of the body as thick as a signal tower, and three sharp ice picks the size of adults forming fingers.
It's imba! Standing in front of the frozen smasher hanging in the air, Su Ming felt the cold air coming to his face, and under the summer sun, it was so cold that he shivered.
Rumble! Rumble! One small fist after another crumbled into gravel all over the floor. There is no small fist stone that can withstand the random blow of the Frozen Crusher, only a few rumbling stones that occasionally appear, and their physical strength has increased, and they will not be shattered by one blow, but they are also the life of falling to the ground, and they were picked by Su Ming and subdued two.
In less than half an hour, there was not a single elf in sight within a few hundred meters of the surroundings. The Frozen Crusher is also uncomfortable, and the edges and corners of the whole body are not so distinct, after all, the ice elemental is too burdensome in the scorching sun and drought environment. The finger of his left hand was also missing, and the watermark of the large pool on the ground was formed by the melting of the ice slag that had been knocked down by several rumbling stones.
"It seems that we can only go here today, hold on for a while, maybe you don't have to fight, the Frozen Crusher himself will melt, and it is estimated that it will not be able to be recovered by then."
After catching two small fist stone evolution types, today's goal exceeded expectations, Su Ming withdrew the Frozen Crusher, beckoned the big needle bee, and turned back to Nibi City.
"Miss Joy, please help me heal the rumbling stone, it was injured in the battle!"
After thinking about the two rumbling stones Su Ming thought twice, he only sold one and exchanged it for 3,600 oceans.
After replenishing a week's worth of dry food and drinking water, a small amount of tree fruits and energy cubes that can be eaten by needle bees, a few changes of clothes and paying for the treatment of rumbling stones, there are still more than 2,000, and I also bought several children's enlightenment books such as the Pokémon Encyclopedia, which can be regarded as making up for the common sense of this world.
For the rest of the money, I bought 10 ordinary balls with Joey in one go, and Ma Ma no longer has to worry about my lack of money!
As for the rest of the rumbling stone, I will take it first, anyway, this thing eats the stone, but I don't have to worry about not being able to raise it.
Half an hour later—
"Hello, long wait! It's your rumblestone! Joey brought the Poké Balls of Rumble Stone, "Also, please show the Pokédex bound to your identity and set the automatic teleportation destination for the 10 Poké Balls you purchased." If you don't locate it, it won't automatically teleport even if it detects that you are carrying more than 6 Poké Balls! ”
"No need for positioning, trouble!" It should be said that it is worthy of being the official service organization of the alliance, and it is indeed more thoughtful than the outside service, and the same price to buy Poke Balls, before the small store did not provide positioning services.
"Please go slowly!"
"Tsukimi Mountain...... This side is Nibi City, and that side is Hualan City. "Standing at the foot of the Tsukimi Mountain, Su Ming was entangled.
The map says that the nearest way to Hualan City is to go to the cave of Yuejian Mountain, but Su Ming has never drilled into a cave, so he really has no sense of security; Walking around the foot of the mountain from the forest not only delays time, but also has no road, and may have to cross the river.
"What do you say you choose?" Su Ming shook the pot.
"Buzz~" This is a big needle bee.
"Rumble Rumble ~" This is a rumble stone.
"Beep @#¥!" Well, this is Bibi Bird, which has just been subdued, and Su Ming always feels that it has its own mocking effect.
"......" the heavily armored war horse snorted.
"Very good, since everyone is reluctant to drill the cave, then we decided to take a long detour!" There are all his own people around, and Su Ming is shameless, anyway, looking at the dark hole not far away, he really doesn't dare to drill into it.
"Let's go!"
At the foot of the mountain, it's actually not too difficult to walk, the trees are relatively sparse, and the heavy-armored war horses are walking more quickly here than before in the forest, but the water flow on the mountain washes out to form a lot of large and small concaves, once you encounter it, you basically have to detour to the depths of the forest, no wonder the official map recommends a cave.
However, Su Ming doesn't! After! Regret!
No matter how difficult it is to walk in the wild, I ride horses most of the time, and no matter how dangerous it is, I can't beat it with the thugs around me, and there is always a way to run away.
As for the shortcut - what if you drill into the cave and accidentally get the hole collapsed by a passing large rock snake? If you get lost in a cave, won't you be blind? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Su Ming is a standard gentleman.
Now there are two flying pets, Su Ming tried to find a branch, grabbed the middle by himself, and the two pets flew by themselves one by one, but unfortunately both of them were small and medium-sized elves, only enough to barely pull themselves up from the ground and hang in the air, and they couldn't fly far at all, not to mention that they were so sore that they had to give up and honestly detour.
Along the way, maybe because of the edge of the forest, I didn't see many elves, only occasionally flying from the sky, but unfortunately Su Ming was powerless, after all, even this Bibi bird was knocked over by a rock blasting sneak attack on the rumbling stone, and was subdued by the big needle bee mending knife.
"Rumble Stone, roll!" The target was a bush blocking the road in front of it.
Summon the Frozen Crusher! Well, the ice pontoon bridge across the river.
Along the way, Su Ming's itinerary did not encounter any major trouble, but two days later, because he was far away from the area of human activities, there were more elves around, and Su Ming didn't want to go.
Summoning a giant wasp and a spider tank, Su Ming burrowed into the spider tank, and the off-road tank uses a mechanical foot to advance, which is just right for this kind of terrain.
The giant wasp and the heavily armored war horse, the big needle bee, the rumbling stone, and the Bibi bird were all responsible for staying around the spider tank to keep guard, and Su Ming saw that he was good to bully, so he bombarded the past, ran away, and gave up, unable to distinguish the reality and wanted to rush over, a group of pets rushed up to beat him.
It can't be said that Su Ming is too obscene, this place is much more lively than the place Su Ming passed by before, all kinds of wild elves are infested in groups, and many of them are high-level evolutionary bodies or individuals with strong combat effectiveness, or safety is the first priority.
Two caterpillars of unknown species were crawling along the trunk of a tree to a fruit, and the fruit exploded with a bang, and the caterpillar was blown directly into the grass, and I don't know whether it was dead or alive.
Not far away, a flock of flaming finches were pecking at the corpse of a large purple snake, and some broken eggshells could be faintly seen in the breach in the snake's belly, which seemed to be the egg thief who had been caught.
As for the swarm of big-mouthed bats sucking blood around a small Lada, a big bird suspected to be an evolved type of Bibi Bird caught a big fish from the river and threw it to the ground, which was even more numerous, and it also made Su Ming more vigilant.
When I was a child, I didn't remember these plots when I watched cartoons, and most of the people I encountered before were small bugs and mice, but there was no such ubiquitous scene, and these may be the essence of this world: the jungle eats the strong.
The creatures that can survive in this world must have their means.
This also made Su Ming's unbearable and faint sense of guilt gradually dissipate when he was leveling.
When I killed a few large wild elves before, whether it was the struggle of the large creature before death, the blood that flowed out, or the corpse left after death, the impact on people was much stronger than the previous crushing of a few large bugs and rats and breaking a few large stones.
"Creatures need to survive, I need to become stronger to protect myself, no one is wrong, just let it be."
