In the middle of the night, Merlin's makeshift camp.
At the end of the day's journey, fighting, and training, Merlin and his companions fell asleep in the moonlit and starry night. It doesn't matter if you have insomnia, whether it is Frog's quantity of high-quality sleep powder, or the various hypnotic techniques of Antri, Hepu, and Kuknas, they can solve this problem quickly, effectively, and perfectly. You don't have to worry about not being able to sleep at all, you just need to worry about whether you will be able to wake up on time the next day.
The moonlight tonight is abundant, the moon shines brightly on the earth, and even the stars appear extraordinarily bright. In such a beautiful night, a small group of Pokémon are shuttling through the fields and trees under the cover of the night, which can no longer be called a barrier, and gathering in the sea of flowers that are gradually blooming and blooming.
Merlin's party was asleep and didn't have the small changes that were happening around them now, oh yes, Dracula, who was in charge of the vigil, did show this change, but he didn't think it was worth making a fuss about, so he didn't report it to Merlin.
The little things that gathered in the night began to hum strange ballads to a certain tune, the soothing but incomprehensible lyrics of which had a natural magic that only those who needed to hear it.
"Ka~?" Sleeping Frog opened his eyes suddenly, blinking his eyes that were not yet fully open, and lifted his groggy head, which listened carefully to the song ringing in his ears. As if sensing and responding to the ballad, the huge bud behind Frog began to emit bursts of bright green luster, flickering and dimming, but it was just right for the frequency of the ballad.
Hearing and understanding the ballad, Frog looked hesitant and struggling, looking at Merlin's tent, at the sleeping companions around him, and then at the direction of the distant ballad.
After a while, Frog finally made up his mind, urged by the ballad, and he struggled to move his immobile limbs and ran in the direction from which the song had come.
When its figure disappeared into the tall grass, Merlin in the tent opened his eyes and sat up.
"What a bold man, he dares to do such a nonsensical thing, ** take my Flogg." Merlin's face was gloomy, and his hands pinched each other's knuckles in a threatening crackle. Lifting the thin quilt, quickly getting dressed and equipped, and lifting the curtain of the tent, Merlin slipped out of the tent.
Outside the tent, Wizil, Reiko, Antri, and other allies had woken up and were waiting for Merlin's further instructions.
"Vizel, Lingzi, you two come with me. Antri, just stay here and protect the rest of you. He said quickly, "Dracula has followed, and the guards and guards here will be handed over to you." We'll come when we go. I want to see who is so bold as to kidnap me!! Merlin said through gritted teeth.
"Let's go!!" With the help of telekinesis, Merlin rushed into the woods with an arrow step, following the message left behind by Dracula. And Vizel, who was floating in mid-air, also followed closely behind Merlin and floated over. Lingzi also followed with a vertical leap.
After the three of them disappeared into the bushes, Antri immediately took on the demeanor of the eldest sister and began to direct Dark, Hepu, and Kuknas to guard their respective guards, while he himself sat in the center, squinting slightly and waiting for Merlin's and his party to return victoriously.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The night air was filled with a familiar scent to Merlin, the scent of the likes of Frog and Frogweed, the seeds of the Frog and the Frog Grass, which were unintentionally released from their bodies, and in addition to the two scents that Merlin could distinguish, there was also an exceptionally rich sweet aroma in the air, which only made Merlin feel a little familiar and more a strange. The smell seemed to have a faint calming effect, but it didn't seem to have much effect on the masked and angry Merlin.
In addition to the fragrance in the air, there are countless shiny pollen particles wafting through Merlin's eyes, judging by Merlin's eyes, these powders are mixed with a small amount of sleep powder and paralysis powder, if you don't take measures to approach so rashly, when the powder accumulates enough on the surface of the body, or after the inhaled powder reaches a certain value, then it will cause fainting or numbness in the limbs. Therefore, Merlin and Vizel, as well as Reiko, have taken measures to keep the powder from getting close, so that these seemingly beautiful small particles do not brew into a dangerous enough disaster.
Merlin had already found his Flogg, the little creature who was now not very easy to move, was trying his best to move in a certain direction, and even if he occasionally stumbled or fell, he would get up quietly and continue on his way. This made Merlin, who had been cautiously following Frog far behind, look at a pang of pain. You know, that little thing usually spoils Merlin when he gets hurt, or blackmails him for not training on vacation. And now he is gritting his teeth and insisting on it, which makes Merlin even more annoyed.
Merlin was not in a hurry to bring Flogg back, he was furious and wanted to punish the mastermind who dared to abduct Flogg, and wanted to see who the divine ability was able to give his partner out.
Since he had caught up with Frog, Merlin had already sent Dracula back to the camp to help Antri, and he was not worried about uncontrollable accidents on his side, he was more worried about what bad things would happen in the camp.
Carefully hidden all the way, Merlin, Wizil, and Rei followed Frog into the depths of the woods.
Along the way, from time to time, there were wonderful frog seeds or wonderful frog grass coming from all directions, and they gathered into a column with each other, and hurried in the same direction with steps.
Merlin, who had long noticed that the buds behind Frog were glittering, suddenly appeared at this moment, and all the seeds behind the frog seeds and the buds behind the frog grass were actually all shining, and these different individuals were all shining at the same frequency.
[There's definitely something going on here!] Merlin was sure of his guesses.
[Well, my little master, I don't think anything bad happened to Flogg. Reiko suddenly interjected and said, [Seeing this scene, I suddenly remembered something...... It wouldn't be a bad thing anyway. 】
Instead of counteracting Merlin's uneasiness and doubts, Reiko's vague explanation strengthened Merlin's determination to find out.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The team of Frog Seeds and Frog Grass grew stronger, and Merlin and his party followed them deeper and deeper into the woodland with their footsteps. Just as the surrounding trees became denser and denser, Merlin's heart, who had always been on high alert, suddenly trembled, and a sense of crisis surged into Merlin's head.
Subconsciously immediately launched a telekinesis defense, Merlin's shield was instantly blasted into powder by a powerful external force as soon as it was erected, but this gap was enough for Merlin to get out, he used a little telekinetic thrust, and jumped to the rear with the same attack but safe and sound.
I saw that countless branches and vines covered with knots and protrusions as thick as Merlin's waist appeared from the surrounding trees, as if the whole forest was alive and the whole forest was moving. These "living" branches are filled with the unique vicissitudes of time, and they deftly meander and sway, encircling Merlin little by little.
[Sure enough. Lingzi said again, "We've broken into the 'garden'. 】
"What garden?" Merlin asked casually, and at that moment dozens of thick branches slammed into them, piercing the air and making loud noises, and the branches stabbed Merlin with a great force from the wilderness. Merlin, Wizil, and Rei hurriedly used their power to shred, crush, or burn the horrific branches.
[This is not something that can be explained in one or two sentences! Lingzi said eagerly, "Let's deal with the situation in front of us first. I'll explain it to you in detail when we're out of trouble! 】
Merlin had to agree. In the face of these endless numbers of vines and branches, with infinite power and speed, there is really no extra time and energy to distract from storytelling. Let's concentrate on fighting.
And at the same time that Merlin and his party were surrounded by countless vines, a towering wooden wall made of countless vines had risen in the woods, and this circular vine wooden wall firmly wrapped the "garden" in Lingzi's mouth, as long as it was not the object of invitation, no one wanted to stay in the vine wall, and no one wanted to approach this vine wall.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Merlin and his party were firmly surrounded by an infinite number of vines, which were endless, brute-powered, and lightning-fast as the vines, constantly draining Merlin and his allies' strength, tormenting their highly tense spirits.
Merlin's mental power that can destroy the tangible entity can inflict heavy damage on these vines on some levels, and since the vines are constantly attacking from all directions, the sky and the underground, Merlin doesn't need to take extra aim, just maintain a sphere that envelops him and his companions, and then keep releasing his power from the center of this sphere.
Each time you invoke your mind, you can clear all the vines in a circular area, but after each emptying, the vines will fight back more sharply with more number and more force. Merlin's success was diminishing with each move. The dense vines around them had completely enveloped Merlin from the periphery.
Vizir was constantly creating phantasm waves, and its power was of little use against the strong branches of the plants, more often than not, it was the hard skin of the vines that crumbled and torn apart rather than their inner core. It was difficult to destroy the vines directly, but Vizel's illusion wave could stir the vines and force them to entangle until they were tied into dead knots, leaving them temporarily powerless to attack.
And Lingzi's fiery ability with a flame aura is obviously very handy against these vines, from its mouth or the tip of its tail constantly gushing out of the fiery red ability, or simply floating out of the hot brilliant flames. The fiery energy scorched the vines that kept coming up, turning them into firewood or charcoal.
[My little master, it is obviously not a smart move to continue to fight so hard. After Lingzi exhaled a condensed tongue of fire and instantly turned a few vines that were heading straight for Merlin's face door into charcoal, he said to Merlin charmingly, "We have strayed into someone else's territory, and it is likely that we have disturbed some important ritual," it turned its face to look directly at Merlin and smiled, [This kind of Cheng Dù's attack is just a warning, I think we should leave here quickly before the attack strength increases again......]
Merlin turned his head quickly, ignoring Reiko's Jianyi.
[My little master, why do you have to be angry with me? Lingzi put its fiery delicate/body on Merlin's waist, and gently rubbed Merlin's back with its head, [Even if you want to break into the 'garden', you can't break in directly from the ground of 6 with such a big grin, let's go back first, and it's not too late to enter after finding a suitable breakthrough method.] I also have time to tell you what the hell is going on. 】
"There's just one thing I want to know." Merlin shattered the countless vines around him again, and in the midst of the sawdust he asked solemnly, "I only want to know one thing, Frog, if it is dangerous?!" ”
[Absolutely not.] Lingzi replied very decisively, "Not only is it not dangerous, but on the contrary, it may be of great benefit to it. 】
"I don't care if it's good or not, I only care about its safety." Merlin responded with a gloomy face, "Since there is no danger, then let's step back first......" As he spoke, Merlin urged a telekinetic ball wrapped around them to slowly retreat backwards, perhaps sensing Merlin's retreat, and the vines in the direction of Merlin's retreat all gave way behind Merlin. The vines that stood in front of him instantly gathered into a huge wall of vines, blocking Merlin's path.
After retreating a few dozen meters away, there were no more vines entangled in Merlin's party, only the constantly moving wall of vines in front of him, which seemed to be towering into the sky, blocked Merlin's eyes.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on." Clenching his fists and staring at the rattan wall, Merlin gritted his teeth and squeezed his question out of his teeth. Wizil, on the other hand, came behind Merlin very intimately and stretched out his right hand to put it on Merlin's shoulder.
[This is the 'garden'......] Reiko found a piece of soft grass to lie on it very casually, [it is the back garden of the 'King of Nature'. 】
"What do you mean by 'garden' all the time? And what's the 'king of nature'? Merlin asked casually as he glared at the vine wall. Perhaps it was Merlin's delusion, and when he said "something", the rattan wall in front of him seemed to squirm violently for a while.
【Whew~~】Lingzi exhaled a long breath of hot air, and by the way, he spit out a delicate flame rose from his mouth, and it blew this spark with the hot air gushing out of its nostrils to make it flutter in the air, [The current human beings are really lonely and unheard, I didn't expect that even a guy with a little knowledge like you no longer knows what the king of nature is. 】
"Answer the question." Merlin turned his head and glared at Reiko.
[I told you a long time ago not to be angry with me, and I also told you a long time ago that Frog will be fine, you don't have to worry so blindly. Lingzi winked at Merlin with his fox eyes, and glared at Merlin, [It's really a child~]
Merlin snorted angrily, then turned his head and continued to look at the vine wall. Trying to see through the vine wall with his own eyes.
[King of Nature, this is what we call it. To put it bluntly, it is a giant beast with a long life, ancient knowledge, a huge body, and the power of nature, it is the caretaker of the woods and grasslands, the arbiter of nature, and the protector of green......] Lingzi also put his head on the grass, [At the same time, it is also the evolution of Floger, it is the wonderful frog flower. 】
"You mean to say that my Frog has been kidnapped by some ancient frog flower?" Merlin concluded. The rattan wall in front of him squirmed violently for a while.
[It's not a kidnapping, it's an invitation.] Reiko corrected, "Frog was invited by the Lord of Nature to a mysterious gathering at night......]
"Hmph, that kind of invitation." Merlin scoffed, "And what about the 'garden'?" ”
[That's another name for the realm of the king of nature, 'garden', the garden of the king of nature, or it can also be called nature's flower garden.] It is the residence of the King of Nature and the base of his protection of nature. Reiko began to tell ancient stories, [It has been rumored since ancient times that the wonderful frogs will receive a call from the king of nature on a special night and be invited to a mysterious gathering in the middle of the night. Invited guests will receive the most generous gift from the king of nature, from nature - to break free from the shackles of form and to perceive the true knowledge of nature. 】
"Incredible Garden?!" Merlin was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out, "You mean the legendary festival that allowed the Miao Frog Seed and the Miao Frog Grass to evolve into a Miao Frog overnight?" ”
[Well, that's it.] Reiko said, "That's the general meaning. 】
"Evolution?" Merlin said in a strange voice, "It's really generous." ”
[For wild magical beasts that cannot break through the shackles of form with the help of human power, the gift from the king of nature is simply the best gift. It's just a pity that except for the wonderful frog, the other demonic beasts can't draw the slightest bit of strength and knowledge from it. Lingzi said jealously. [However, don't think that the gift of the King of Nature is so easy to accept.] 】
"What do you mean?" Merlin suddenly became alert.
"It's not interesting. Reiko stretched out his lazy waist with all kinds of amorous feelings, [The kings of nature will not give power to their descendants for free, they choose the heir to the throne while using the power of gifts. 】
"Heir? Wait, you just used 'we'? Don't? ”
Of course, there won't be just one King of Nature. Lingzi said with a grin, [Actually, although their number is relatively rare, but that is only compared to the huge number of wonderful frog flowers. Basically, there is bound to be a king of nature in the vast woods, grasslands, or complete natural ecosystems that you can see. Forever in its own garden, enjoying a long boring time, taking care of nature, giving up freedom. 】
Merlin's head buzzed. He subconsciously wanted to release his power to directly smash the vine wall and rescue his own Floge, he couldn't want to let Frog exchange his long and almost imprisoned life for any evolution, what true knowledge!
[Calm down! Lingzi jumped directly in front of Merlin and pressed his head against Merlin's leg, [Do you think that the king of nature can be so easy? I don't think our Frog is worthy of being a king at a young age......] Reiko and Wizil worked together to hold Merlin back.
[The King of Nature has its own set of strict and cruel selection processes and coronation ceremonies, and not just any wonderful frog can be a good one. Lingzi said to Merlin in a righteous manner, [Take 10,000 steps back, even if Frog is unusually selected and becomes a candidate for the king, do you think that a few of us will have the ability to take it back from the hands of the king of nature? 】
"How do you know if you don't try?!" Merlin struggled, but his strength had weakened considerably.
[So, sù tell you, this wall alone cannot be passed through by our strength. Don't think that you can ignore the world's qi qi qi if you have some ability, I can tell you frankly that your little ability is not worth it in the face of truly powerful power. Even the woman you dream of, her little strength can only bow down in front of the king of nature! The king of nature in the garden will not be defeated! Do you know how much the alliance paid in order to snatch enough land from Warcraft to build cities and reclaim farmland? No matter how many real master trainers make the team of the King of Nature lower his noble and proud head, why do you have such great self-confidence!? 】
Merlin was dumbfounded.
[I can tell you the truth, this king of nature of the rainbow is the most docile and kind of the king of nature I know. Before it became the king of nature, it was also a companion of humans. Therefore, it is very close to human beings and takes special care. Otherwise, why do you think humans can cultivate so much farmland in the rainbow area? But this is the most kind of king of nature, do you know how many grand-grade it has fallen directly and indirectly? In the past, you didn't know it, let's just say that since the establishment of the alliance, there are eight of them! In the past few decades, it has buried more than 100 domesticated demonic beasts domesticated by humans with special combat power or above! 】
[Do you think, we, you, which of us has super-level power?] Reiko questioned Merlin.
Merlin shook his head dejectedly.
"But do you just do nothing?" Merlin looked at his hands in a daze, with a hint of fatigue and unwillingness to ask, "Is it just waiting?" ”
[Challenging the unknown can be regarded as bravery. But to challenge the known, to challenge the known under the absolute gap, seems to me to be stupid. Lingzi lay at Merlin's feet and said softly to Merlin, "Believe me, Frog will be fine. When it gets dark, you'll see Frog Frog unharmed. Trust me......]
Merlin let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground in resignation, he stretched out his hand and stroked the pinna of Lingzi's ear, and asked, "Lingzi...... Why do you know so many things? ”
[Huh? Lingzi raised his head and looked at Merlin with those orange fox eyes, and Merlin saw his reflection in his eyes, "Live a long life. Sometimes, you just need to live a little longer, then you will be wiser than others. Just because you live a little longer......]
Merlin knew that Lingzi was perfunctory to him, but at this moment he didn't have the heart to delve into it at all, just stared blankly at the vine wall in front of him, "Vizil," Merlin suddenly spoke, "Bring a message to the partners who stayed in the camp, tell them to lower their alert level, and then they don't have to wait for us." We'll be back when we get Flogg......"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the early morning, the new sun rises in the east, waking up the sleeping world with its constant light and heat, and the sun shines through the foliage and pierces the mist, covering the land once more.
The huge vine wall began to move violently as the sunlight spread over it, and the vines retreated one after another, and the entire vine wall disappeared with a degree visible to the naked eye.
In the thin mist and soft sunlight, a giant beast stepped out of the garden with dull steps. When it saw Merlin, who was anxiously standing at the place where the vine wall had disappeared, the giant beast let out a dull cheer, and couldn't help but speed up its pace, and the giant beast trampled the earth heavily and rushed towards Merlin.
"Flogg!" Merlin, who saw the giant beast, was stunned for a moment, but instantly recognized that this wonderful frog flower was his own Flogg, and he ran with a cheer.
"Bang~"
Both sides were a little overwhelmed, and the consequence was that Merlin, who was light and weak, was directly knocked away by the huge Frog after evolution, and landed on the grass in the distance with his butt.
"Hahaha~~" Feeling the extremely real pain from the impact and the landing part, Merlin laughed heartily, and Frog hurriedly ran to Merlin's side, it was afraid that he had just broken Merlin.
