Chapter 49: Defeat
The sonic bat flapped its purple wings and flew high into the blue sky.
In the dazzling sunlight, red spots the size of fingernails loomed, creeping up on the belly of the supersonic bat at an imperceptible speed.
"Oh!"
The iron dumbbell easily closes the distance between the supersonic bat from below.
"It can't go up anymore.
Ultrasonic bats have been exposed to the sun for too long and must take the risk. ”
Philo gritted his teeth, a hint of absoluteness flashed in his eyes, and said loudly:
"Down!
Supersonic bats! Vampire! ”
The supersonic bat swooped down, changed its direction, and swooped down towards the iron dumbbell below!
Two cyan rays of light the thickness of adult fingers emerged from the two upper jaws of the supersonic bat.
"Iron dumbbells!
Rotate clockwise, and slam again! ”
Sinan was unmoved, full of confidence.
"Oh!"
The iron dumbbell blue mechanical arm turned hard, and the three silver fingers under it spewed orange airflow, holding the iron dumbbell and hitting the supersonic bat from below!
"Ahh
The sonic bat attack bounced off and was hit directly in the abdomen, its wings no longer flapping, but falling limplessly.
"Chirp!"
A red light erupted, completely enveloping the sonic bats that were on their way down, and depositing them into the Poké Ball in a red light.
"You've done a great job, Supersonic Bat."
Philo grabbed the red and white Poké Ball in his right hand, and said in a somewhat regretful tone:
"I lost."
Sinan glanced at the iron dumbbell floating in mid-air, lifted the poke ball with his left hand, and withdrew the elf.
"It's fine."
Meng Lei came to Philo's side, put his left hand on Philo's right shoulder and patted it, first comforting in a low voice.
Immediately, he raised his head and looked directly at Sinan, and threw out the Poké Ball path that he had just obtained with his right hand:
"It's a bet."
Seeing this, Sinan was stunned, and after catching the Poke Ball with his hands and feet in a little panic, his face showed a cloudy and uncertain look.
"Meng Lei..."
Philo glanced at Meng Lei and said apologetically:
"Use mine..."
Meng Lei shook his head, interrupted Philo's words, and said calmly:
"The sonic bat is injured now, and it can't stay in the sun.
When it's restored, it's not too late to return the Poké Ball. ”
Philo nodded, acquiescing to Meng Lei's words.
"Well, you're barely passing.
Come with me. ”
Sinan struggled in his heart, and pretended to be calm:
"I'll take you to see Xiaolan."
After speaking, he didn't look back, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards Xiaolan's ward.
"Let's go."
Philo and Meng Lei glanced at each other, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly followed.
"Really."
Yu Chixue muttered a little reluctantly, hugged Pokebi, who had shrunk into an egg shape due to deep sleep, and trotted to keep up with the three of them.
In the ward, on Xiaolan's white sheets, the red pupils of an iron dumbbell projected a goose-yellow light curtain on the white sheets.
The characters and movements in the light curtain are constantly changing according to the intensity of the light emitted by the single pupil of the iron dumbbell.
The characters in it are impressively Philo and Ruolan, and the screen should play the battle scene after Xiaolan leaves.
When the white light emitted by the filoin broke through, a trace of curiosity appeared in Xiaolan's eyes.
But the picture quickly jumped to the next battle, and when he saw Dai Hai simply and neatly solve Shi Qian, Xiaolan's eyes flashed with a deep groan, and his eyes were on his cheeks.
It wasn't until an orange air current appeared on Dai Hai's body that it rose to a tree trunk, Xiaolan's eyes widened, and he said urgently:
"Stop, Xiao Nan!"
Saying this, Xiaolan suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Am I calling myself?"
The light of the iron dumbbell's pupils stopped changing immediately, and the picture was frozen in the scene where Dai Hai and Meng Lei were standing on the same branch.
"Is it windy?"
Xiaolan looked at the pinching posture in Meng Lei's hand and muttered to herself, her eyes getting brighter and brighter...
"Someone is coming, let's go out first!"
Xiaolan's eyes swept over the empty doorway, and said lightly:
"Continue to photograph the battles of the other teams."
"Oh!"
The iron dumbbell answered, and flew out of the window as if it were slow but fast.
"Xiaolan, they're here."
Sinan's deep voice came from the door.
"Invite them in."
Xiaolan smiled, covered the quilt, and lay down.
As soon as Philo and Meng Lei walked into the ward, they saw Xiaolan with a haggard face at a glance.
His long, reddish-brown hair looks a little disheveled, and his skin is sickly white.
Seeing Xiaolan's appearance, most of the unhappiness of the three of them just now disappeared.
"Why are you here?"
Xiaolan's face showed a hint of weakness, looking pitiful, and it seemed that she was about to get up.
"Don't move, you need to get some rest."
Sinan took the first step, hurriedly walked over and pressed Xiaolan's shoulders, stared at Xiaolan affectionately, and said softly, he gently helped Xiaolan to lie down.
"I'll go!
Don't be so realistic. ”
Xiaolan sighed in her heart for Sinan's divine cooperation, but her face remained silent.
"Hmm."
Xiaolan seemed powerless to resist, and was pressed back to the bed by Sinan, her face was a little pale, and she said in a weak tone:
"Thank you for coming to see me."
Yu Chixue was a little unbearable, she stepped forward and sat at the head of Xiaolan's bed, and said in a concerned tone:
"Xiaolan, are you okay? Would you like to eat something? ”
"A serving of fried chicken rice, with beer."
Xiaolan's eyes lit up and she said without thinking.
The speed of his speech was so fast that Yu Chixue was stunned when he heard it.
"What?
You can't eat this kind of stuff when you're sick. ”
Yu Chixue patiently persuaded:
"If you're sick, you have to quit drinking and spicy, or I'll let Philo buy something else."
"No need.
She can only eat what I make. ”
Sinan frowned and unceremoniously interrupted Yu Chixue's words.
"Neuropathy."
Xiaolan rolled her eyes and thought angrily:
"Who's going to eat what the little kid does?"
Wei Chixue glanced at Sinan with some dissatisfaction, and asked unceremoniously:
"Why?"
Sinan was categorical and replied decisively:
"She's not used to other people's cooking."
"Whew!
If it's not too lazy to cook, who eats what you make? ”
Xiaolan ran over tens of thousands of alpacas in her heart, and the smile on her face was already a little stiff, but she still smiled forcefully and nodded reluctantly, as if she acquiesced to Sinan's words.
"That's a pity, Philo has always been a good cook."
Meng Lei said quietly.
"Really?"
Xiaolan said with some surprise.
"Yes!"
Sinan glared at Xiaolan fiercely and glared at Philo angrily.
"Don't talk about this, are your injuries better?"
Philo glanced at Xiaolan and asked apologetically:
"We brought some fruit."
As soon as Philo finished saying this, Meng Lei stepped forward and lightly placed a pot of fruit baskets on the table in front of Xiaolan's bed.
"Thank you."
Xiaolan didn't care about those fruits, and didn't even look at them, but smiled and said softly:
"Sit down."
In the ward, across from the bed, there was a row of iron benches, and the three of them took their seats.
"I also watched your battle through the window just now, I'm really sorry, Sinan has caused you a lot of trouble."
Xiaolan said apologetically.
"It's fine."
Philo smiled and shook his head.
"Sinan, give them back the black sludge.
It's just an exchange. ”
Xiaolan said to Sinan in a solemn tone.
"Oh!"
Sinan was a little reluctant, but he still took out the glass bottle with "black silt".
"And then."
After Sinan stuffed the bottle into Philo's hand, he quietly sat back on the edge of Xiaolan's bed.
"What does that mean?"
Philo was not pleased, but said in a somewhat unhappy tone:
"If you want to lose the bet, you can take it back."
After saying that, he stood up and returned the bottle.
"Wait a minute!"
Xiaolan's face was a little strange, she straightened up, waved her hand and stopped:
"Philo, what don't you have to worry about?
This black sludge is our deposit. ”
Philo glanced at Xiao Lan, who seemed to be half better, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"But I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
Xiaolan's tone was a little self-deprecating:
"Let's be honest, in fact, it's what I mean by letting Sinan make a temptation."
"Xiaolan..."
Si Nan's face was a little complicated, and when he was about to say something, Xiaolan waved her hand confidently and interrupted her next words.
"Whether you are strong or not is very important to our actions.
Truth be told, this is a very good operation for you. ”
Xiaolan smiled slightly, combed the long reddish-brown hair hanging down on her left shoulder with her left hand, and said calmly.
"What action?"
Philo raised his eyebrows, there was no surprise in his eyes, Philo's expression made Xiaolan's heart sink, but Xiaolan's face did not show the slightest discoloration.
"This guy..."
Xiaolan's heart froze, her heart was a little solemn, she looked at Philo again, feeling a little puzzled, but she still glanced at Yu Chixue quietly, and did not speak.
"I'll wait outside the door first.
You talk to me. ”
Yu Chixue immediately understood and took the initiative to walk out.
Seeing this, Meng Lei also turned around and made a gesture to leave.
"Wait a minute, Menglei, you stay."
Seeing this, Xiaolan stopped by saying:
"Meng Lei, I still need your help in that matter."
Meng Lei stopped, turned around, and stared at Xiaolan's face for three seconds, and then sat steadily on a row of silver iron benches, Meng Lei held his chin up, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why do you want to pull him in, I can pay you the favor."
Philo was a little dissatisfied, and his tone was already a little stiff:
"He doesn't owe you anything."
Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, smiled on her face, and said softly:
"Don't worry, just borrowing his 'wind' spiritual technique, he is responsible for long-distance cover, and there will be no danger."
Philo listened to Xiaolan's explanation, and his face softened, and Xiaolan hit the railway while it was hot:
"Originally, Sinan and I didn't want to trouble you with this plan.
But I'm injured this time, and I can't play much combat power, so I need someone to replace me.
As for Meng Lei, it's just an insurance policy, after all, the spiritual technique of 'Rising the Wind' may be able to save our lives at a critical time.
Actually, even if you don't come today, we'll go to someone else for help. ”
Philo was finally aroused by his curiosity and smiled:
"Save our lives?
You're not talking about the academy, Dabi is coming, and we won't be leaving the academy in the near future. ”
Seeing this, Xiaolan grinned at the corner of her mouth and said with a chuckle:
"It seems that you don't know this academy, otherwise you wouldn't be able to say this."
"What do you mean?"
Philo hated being played dumb riddles the most, and was a little dissatisfied.
Xiaolan didn't care about Philo's attitude, but looked out the window, pursed her lips and smiled:
"Yunshui Academy is located on a giant island in the Orange Islands.
Although the academy is located in a valley on the island, Yunshui Academy has a path leading out of the valley.
We can usually leave the academy by the path and walk around. ”
Philo was dumbfounded, and said in disbelief:
"Why didn't the teacher tell us about this?
Also, what if there are wild elves outside the valley? ”
"Hehe, you expect the teacher to tell the students where to have fun?
As for the safety outside the valley, you don't have to worry about it at all, we also have a course on discharge activities, and almost all the elves you can meet on the road are killed and caught, and there will be no problem. ”
Xiaolan smiled and said noncommittally:
"It's easy for you to do something, we need to get something in one place, but there's an elf guarding it.
All you have to do is go along with us.
The black sludge is used as a deposit, and when we get that thing, we'll give you the Poké Ball you lost. ”
Philo nodded quickly this time, while Meng Lei frowned, and said with some displeasure:
"You haven't said anything about the strength and race of that guardian elf."
"It's the primary-middle realm, the single attribute.
You'll know when the time comes, don't worry, I can't joke with my own life, that black sludge is our sincerity. ”
Xiao Lan smiled and explained with her eyebrows fluttering.
Meng Lei still had some scruples about Xiaolan not saying the elf race, but Xiaolan's next words made Meng Lei's questioning words swallow back at once.
"Meng Lei, if you participate, I can call the shots and give you a primary skill machine."
Xiaolan covered her mouth and chuckled.
Meng Lei's heart jumped, the primary skill machine was a special disc with a metal appearance.
Unlike psionics, it is learned by elves, and it contains a memory of a certain elf's inheritance of a move.
If you want to use a skill machine for an elf, just break open the outer packaging of the disc and press the launch button in the center of the disc to let the original light in the disc shine on the elf.
The so-called Origin Light is a white light the size of a broad bean drawn from heaven and earth by each elf when it enters the intermediate realm.
This white light will become more and more intense as the elf's strength grows.
When the elf is illuminated by the light of the source, the elf's mind is instilled with the essentials of the move and the amount of spiritual power required to perform it.
As a result, the cells of his body will undergo subtle changes, making them more suitable for absorbing this type of spiritual power.
For example, if you ask a water spirit to learn electrical skills, if the cells in its body do not have the ability to absorb the spiritual power of the electric system, you can use water to generate electricity? How? Build a dam on the elves? A water turbine on the elf to generate electricity?
It is precisely because elves may have the possibility of absorbing the spiritual power of this kind of attribute after being irradiated by the light of the source, that they are called Pokémon, or Pokémon for short!
The only way to build a skill machine is an elf who has reached the intermediate level by virtue of its strength and a mechanic trainer who is at least intermediate level.
The Mechanic Trainer synthesizes the power of the machine to create a special round object that is half empty in the middle, and the material of this object is a special color-changing metal.
It has the properties of metal, but it does not have the color of metal, and it will automatically change color depending on the color of the Origin Light.
Since the Origin Light is a collection of particles, after the elf loses its life, one can extract the Origin Light the size of a broad bean from its body, and these Origin Lights record all the skills that the spirit has learned in his lifetime.
The so-called awakened skill is just the expression of these particles in the body that make up the light of the source, and learning is not a situation where you can have a skill under normal circumstances.
It is the particles of the Origin Light of other Elves that break into the Origin Light of this Elf, so that this Elf has the possibility of learning the skills of other Elves.
As for why elves can't learn some skills?
On the one hand, there is the restraint of the body form, for example, it is difficult for an elf without wings to learn to blow this move.
On the other hand, due to the fact that some foreign particles enter the body of some spirits, they will violate Pauli's principle of incompatibility and Hundt's rule.
We all know that particles have only two rotational motions in opposite directions.
When foreign particles enter the original light and are automatically distributed to the orbits of energy degeneracy, they preferentially occupy different orbits in the same way of spin, because according to Hunt's rule, the total energy of the atoms is the lowest.
So in orbitals of equal energy, the electrons spin in parallel as much as possible in different orbits, and make each particle have the same spin direction.
Sometimes, however, an alien particle will appear in the opposite direction of the particle's spin inside the Elven Origin Light.
Pauli's principle of incompatibility states that in a system composed of fermions, no two or more particles can be in exactly the same state.
Therefore, these particles cannot be expressed in these spirits, and will be rejected from the body.
This is also the reason why after the skill machine is used incorrectly on some elves, it is found that all the original light is reflected back, and it can continue to be used by other elves.
Intermediate and above mechanic trainers can extract a single color segment of light from the Origin Light, which of course has a loss and failure rate.
There may be some Mechanic Trainers who have extracted five or six skills from the Origin Light of one Elf, but there are other Mechanic Trainers who have not extracted any of them.
The advent of the skill machine is largely a blessing for mankind, a nightmare for wild elves, and many rare and powerful elves have become the number one target of poachers, which is also the fuse of the holy war that swept through the seven states a hundred years ago and caused the seven states to be divided into several pieces.
The price of the skill machine is also quite high, not much more than Poké Ball, or even more, after all, the birth of each skill machine may be the death of an elf's life.
Even if Xiaolan was only talking about the primary skill machine, that is, extracted from the origin light of the primary realm elves, Meng Lei's breathing couldn't help but become short.
