"Uh-huh."

Shanaido "teleported" Natsuhiko and his elves.

Teleported to the other side of the Skycrown Mountains.

It is completely covered in snow and ice.

It's as if you've returned to the Sinnoh period, the boundaries of Snow Peak City in the north.

And with the climate and natural conditions of the Xicui area today.

In addition to the occasional snowfall on the summit of Tianguan Mountain, there is also a natural landscape that can have such a thick layer of ice, and only pure white frozen soil can present such a natural landscape.

The environment of the entire continent during the Xicui period was very harsh because there was not much human intervention.

In the pure white tundra, the temperature is at least below minus 10 degrees.

If ordinary elves are not adapted, they simply cannot survive in such an environment.

The farthest point that Shanaiduo recorded was here.

Next, it's up to Xia Yan to move forward on his own.

It's just that it's night.

With the bad situation of Xicui at this time and the state of the wild elves, it is definitely a very dangerous thing to travel at night.

"Mana~~"

After Shanaiduo gave Xia Yan a direction, he quickly left.

"I was hasty, I knew that I would stay in the ancient seclusion for one night before leaving."

Xia Yan pressed his hat.

Sleeping in such an environment full of snow and ice and poor visibility is obviously not necessarily safe.

Fortunately.

With Xia Yan's current strength, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke some very powerful races, there should be no problem in self-preservation.

In addition, there is Porkis's "secret power", and it is enough to simply open up a different space for accommodation.

"Eat first."

Natsuhiko summons the elves.

"Luckily, I had the foresight to leave the Alliance headquarters and visit the Alliance's warehouses."

Because Igor, the president of the alliance, said that he would give Xia Yan and Shirona enough resources to tilt.

Xia Yan was also thick-skinned, and he didn't care about the strange eyes of the warehouse manager at all, and he stuffed the embarrassed Sirona into his backpack.

Stuff whatever is worth it into the package.

It wasn't until he filled the entire space backpack that he reluctantly left.

So.

Even if he camped in the wild in the Xicui area for a month, Xia Yan was not worried that his resources would run out.

Whether it is a series of necessities such as elf food and healing potions, they are very abundant.

It's just that the Alliance's vault is not within the scope of resource tilt.

Otherwise, the Sinnoh Alliance's family will have to be hollowed out by Xia Yan at least one-third.

Rao is like this, when he and Sirona left, the bitter and bitter appearance of the storekeeper made Xia Yan unforgettable for a long time.

"Tsk, patronizing the precious props, forgetting your own food."

Xia Yan found the biggest problem.

He doesn't have to worry about the elves' food.

But their own food has become the biggest problem.

In order to be able to pack more, he emptied all the worthless things in his backpack.

As a result, he now has nothing to eat.

No way.

Xia Yan could only use the most primitive method and let the big needle bee go out to shoot two ordinary animals.

Fortunately, although the environment of pure white permafrost is harsh, there are still resources that should be available.

After a while, the big needle bee came back from hunting two snow hares.

With the speed of a large needle bee, there is no need to worry about being followed by wild elves.

Crackle –

On the frozen soil swept out of the snow.

Jumping on the bonfire with burning wood.

While bringing a hint of temperature, it also brings a dim halo.

In a dark environment, the light travels a long distance.

Xia Yan ensured the larvae of burning insects with one hand, and held the book in the other, waiting for the barbecue to be fully cooked, and learned knowledge.

Sakaki's big needle bee cultivation skills, and Master Suzuki's top-level energy cube making codex are all books that he now chews several times a day.

Every time I look at it, I feel a new understanding.

Don't.

At this time, the burning insect becomes the best hand warmer.

Holding it, Xia Yan didn't feel a trace of coolness at all.

Rustle Rustle –

The rustling sound in my ears was the movement of burning insects holding energy cubes and gnawing at them.

The elves also ate their food very peacefully.

Although they also crave barbecue that they haven't eaten in a long time.

However, seeing that there were only two snow rabbits, and considering that Xia Yan was pitifully hungry, he didn't even shout to eat.

Even the most greedy Porkis is honestly eating delicious energy cubes at this time.

Only occasionally casually glanced at the sizzling barbecue, quietly swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and then closed his eyes and imagined, and stuffed the energy cube into his mouth in a big gulp.

Wangmei's thirst-quenching hand is really understood by it.

It's not that these top-level energy cubes don't taste good, it's just that they inevitably want to change their tastes.

Like.

Mom's meals were delicious, but always craving for a snack or even an ice drop.

Seeing its appearance, Xia Yan couldn't help laughing.

"Let's have a bite to eat?"

Look around at the elves.

But at this moment, they were all united, and they shook their heads in unison.

"I'll eat one as long as I can, let's share it together."

It doesn't matter how they react.

Xia Yan divided a snow rabbit into several parts.

Each elf has a copy.

It's not much, though.

But this feeling of everyone sharing food together is also quite good.

The tacit understanding and relationship between Xia Yan and the elves, as well as between the elves and the elves, are often piled up and solidified in such insignificant little things.

It's not much, but at least everyone is addicted.

Rustle Rustle –

The incendiary bug didn't say much, it just ate and ate hard.

Xia Yan could clearly feel that the amount of food of the burning insect had been rising rapidly in recent times, which was the best sign that it was approaching the end of its juvenile stage.

But gradually.

Xia Yan realized that the state of today's burning insects was not quite right.

It just eats vigorously, from the time they choose the campsite, it has been eating non-stop, never stopping.

And eat faster and faster.

On the other hand, the temperature on its body is getting higher and higher.

The elves were also aware of this situation and slowly gathered around.

"Huh?"

The little burning insect was stunned when he saw that he was surrounded by everyone.

The little eyes are full of ignorance.

"Cha Ke Bab~~"

Porkis motioned for the Burning Worms to eat them quickly and leave them alone.

"Whew."

Hu Di, who has gone through this stage, is the calmest, and it just signals that the burning worm can eat as much as it can at this time.

Obviously.

The incendiary bug is about to end its juvenile stage.

Wheels and Wheels –

As curious as everyone looked at them like this, the burning worm's stomach soon screamed.

It didn't care so much, and immediately buried its head in eating.

The top-level energy cube already contains a lot of energy, but the Burning Worm absorbs that much.

"Oss."

Ladios looked worried.

It ate a lot of it at the time, but it didn't seem to have as many as the incendiary bugs.

Xia Yan shook his head, "It's okay, it's in good shape." ”

The Burning Bug is not the same as Ladios.

Ladios has its former infinite energy hidden in its body, and in the period of the elven egg, Xia Yan gave a large amount of dragon energy to nourish.

That energy was so powerful that it wasn't completely absorbed until Ladios stepped into the quasi-Heavenly King level.

The energy in the body of the burning insect comes entirely from the gift given by the Vulcan Moth in the way of giving up his own life.

After all, it comes from the outside, and when the burning insect finishes its juvenile stage, how much energy it can absorb from the Vulcan Moth depends on how much it can eat this time.

Every evolution of elves is an opportunity for transformation.

But in fact, the first metamorphosis of the elves is at the end of the juvenile stage.

It's just that most people can't get in touch with this part of the elves.

Hiss –

A wisp of white smoke rose from Xia Yan's palm.

He immediately bared his teeth and carefully placed the incendiary worm on the ground.

The temperature at which the spirits of the Burning Worm can release flames can reach 3,000 degrees Celsius, which is a very terrifying temperature, and it is also the reason why they can live near volcanoes and live in magma.

Now, its own temperature has begun to get out of control.

But it didn't seem to feel anything at all, it just buried its head in eating.

One piece after another.

And as its temperature rises rapidly, the frozen soil on the ground quickly softens and becomes charred and black.

A wave of surging heat swept around.

A large amount of snow and ice began to melt.

"Library?"

There was a slight surprise in the Flame Monkey's eyes.

The temperature was nothing to it, but the emanation from the body of the burning insect surprised it a little.

And

"Hot air?"

Xia Yan raised his eyebrows, also surprised by this.

It could be that his careful cultivation has been rewarded, or it may be that the Fire God Moth has benefited from the Burning Worm's gift, or it may be that it has a high talent of its own and has stolen it after seeing the Flame Monkey use "hot air" during training.

"Whew."

Hu Di looked at Xia Yan and reminded.

"Pure life energy?"

"Boom!"

The Shield Sword Monster nodded.

When it comes to life energy, the two of them are the most powerful.

The elf egg of the burning insect was originally a dead egg, but it was completely revived and resurrected after a series of treatments by Xia Yan and the life dedication of the fire god moth.

And it seems to have inherited the strong breath of life of the Vulcan Moth.

Xia Yan's thought moved.

From the carrying backpack, he took out a halo of colorful feathers.

Rainbow Feather!

It was the one that Dr. Oki handed over to Natsuhiko, and it belonged to the feather of the Phoenix King.

This feather is now shining brightly under the baptism of the burning insects and the heat wave.

"Huh?"

And the burning insects, which were immersed in eating, also suddenly stopped moving, staring at the feathers in Xia Yan's hands with burning eyes.

The little eyes are full of longing.

Xia Yan's expression froze.

The corners of the mouth twitch slightly.

But under the gaze of the burning bug, Xia Yan finally chose to compromise.

"Forget it, although things are very precious, I don't have to be a rainbow warrior, only if I can transform into combat power, can I be regarded as playing its role."

At this point, Xia Yan pinched his fingers.

Painlessly threw his feather at the incendiary bug.

And the reaction of the little one is also very real.

Catch it in one bite.

Click, click

The rainbow feather was eaten by it bite by bite under Xia Yan's gaze.

Xia Yan took a breath silently.

It felt that its insect spirit was somewhat closely related to feathers.

The needle bee ate the "Feather of Pure Gold".

Now the burning insect even ate the "rainbow feather" of the phoenix king.

And after the burning insect ate this "rainbow feather", a golden flame immediately rose in its body.

Wisps of flames envelop it.

The already extremely high temperature is rising wildly again at this moment.

Time.

At this time, the burning insect looked like a small golden sun, and the halo transmitted a great distance from the darkness of the night.

Next breath.

Xia Yan could be seen faintly.

In the flames jumping on the body of the burning insect, there were faintly two blurred figures surrounding, watching, and blessing.

Xia Yan squinted his eyes and stared directly at the golden flame.

In a trance.

He seemed to see the original fire god moth, vibrating its wings in the flames, and his face was full of relief and joy.

The sparkling light vibrated its wings and dissipated itself, and then sank into the body of the burning insect.

And another, even more faint figure, after looking at the burning insect and feeling the surging breath of life on its body, also plunged into its body.

This moment.

At night in the pure white permafrost of the Xicui region, another small sun slowly rises, illuminating a large area.

And many wild elves who are active in the pure white frozen soil at night have seen this strange sun, and felt the warmth brought by the light on their bodies, dispelling the coolness of this extremely cold night.

Xia Yan didn't expect it either.

The movement of the incendiary insect at the end of the juvenile stage will be so big.

With this kind of movement, it is estimated that many wild elves are already surrounding this side.

"It's not a good idea to take the initiative to find trouble at night, but when they are delivered to the door themselves, it's different."

Greetings to the elves.

"Let's eat after eating."

Hearing this, the elves suddenly showed interest.

Then.

The first elves to feel the light approaching have arrived.

Elves with black sharp horns covered in snow and ice appeared in their sight.

Ice elves, ice ghosts!

Ice crystals brought about by their appearance.

Slightly slows down the scorching heat caused by the incendiary bugs.

The Ice Ghost Protector's blue eyes looked at the burning insects in the center of the camp, their eyes flickering with disgust.

For the Ice Elf, the light and temperature brought by the Burning Worm made it feel very uncomfortable.

With the appearance of an Ice Ghost Protector, more and more Ice Ghost Protectors appeared around.

Their purpose is to destroy the burning things of the incendiary bugs.

However, if they want to achieve their goal, they have to pass Xia Yan's elves first.

"Quasi-Heavenly King-level Ice Ghost Protector? The natural environment of the washed green is really magnificent. ”

Xia Yan waved his hand.

Designated Pokkis, Shield Swordman, Ladios, Flame Monkey, and Fairy Eevee.

This is in the month of washing the green area, the main purpose is to complete the task of Arceus, but the powerful wild elves are also a pretty good place for Xia Yan to cultivate elves.

With his meaning.

Several elves rushed out.

Pokkeis bullet unmistakable "air slash".

The thick shield of the shield sword monster and the sonorous sword.

Ladios has become more and more adept at using dragon energy, as well as his ability to control the field in Hudi's absence.

The flame monkey is an indomitable dark red flame.

Fairy Eevee's support and cunning elf-based moves.

With the full strength of the elves, the Ice Ghost Protectors who took the initiative to attack seemed to be very strong, but they did not cause much harm.

Not even a chance to get past the first line of defense built by the elves.

After the Ice Ghost Guard, some other elves also arrived one after another.

Their strength is mostly not weak.

Most of them have the strength of the elite level and the hall master level, and a few have the strength of the quasi-heavenly king level.

In the face of various elves of different levels of strength, Xia Yan did not take advantage of them and sent different elves to deal with them.

Ice Six-Tails, Baby Dragon, and Slimy Treasure are all involved in the battle.

After a while.

The successive attacks gradually stopped.

"It's sloppy, or it's Arceus who is wrong, surviving in such an environment for a month, the strength of the elves can definitely be improved by more than one grade."

Looking at the elves who had lost their ability to fight, Xia Yan sighed secretly.

The elves who eat after the meal seem to have a bit of unfinished meaning.

Pity.

The wild elves around seem to have either been cleaned up, or they don't dare to approach.

After all, it was night, and Xia Yan still didn't choose to take the initiative.

Meanwhile.

The movement on the burning insect gradually subsided.

The flaming golden flames returned to its body.

And the appearance of the burning bug has also changed a lot.

Originally, its size was only twenty or thirty centimeters in its juvenile stage, but now its body length has exceeded one meter, and if you want to rely on Xia Yan, it is estimated that there is no chance.

Xia Yan also lost his best hand warmer.

However, the state of the burning insect and the change in its aura still made Xia Yan feel a little surprised.

"Woo~~"

The burning insect that opened its eyes was stunned when it saw the fallen wild elves around it.

However, when he saw the young man who walked in front of him, he immediately showed a cheerful and affectionate smile.

It's just that.

It looked at Natsuhiko's shoulder, felt its body again, and blinked twice aggrievedly.

Xia Yan smiled and squatted down, stroking its soft and warm white fluff.

"Growing up is a good thing, and it's not just yourself that you carry on you."

The incendiary worm pursed its mouth and nodded.

Obviously, in the change just now, it sensed the presence of the Vulcan Moth.

Although it is not the child of the Vulcan Moth, the Vulcan Moth has given it a second life, and it is not impossible to be its child.

"Incendiary bugs."

Xia Yan called softly and took out a high-grade ball.

The Burning Bug didn't hesitate either.

The point is in the center of the advanced ball and is actively subdued.

As the high-level ball opened again, it appeared in front of Natsuhiko again.

"Please advise me in the future, Burning Worm."

"Woo~~"

The head of the burning insect connected the dots, stretched out its short black limbs, and shook it with some difficulty with Xia Yan's hand.

Seeing this scene, the elves all smiled unconsciously.

Their own teams have grown, and the family members who have been recognized by them have also added another member.

"Burning worm, test your abilities."

Natsuhiko proposed.

Although he had almost sensed the state of the burning insect, he still couldn't help but want to see how strong it was now, and whether it had gained any benefits after eating the "Rainbow Feather".

Its life energy should not be underestimated.

"Woo~~"

The incendiary insect motioned for Natsuhiko to stay away.

Then I saw its expression, and the five fiery red tentacles on its body glowed with a crimson halo, and the blazing flames erupted from the tentacles under its control.

Immediately afterward, five flames converged into a pillar of fire and spewed out directly in front of it.

"Flames?"

Xia Yan's eyes lit up.

It seems that the Burning Worm has stolen quite a few more from the Flame Monkey.

The flames swept away, and the big tree covered with ice crystals in front of him immediately melted the ice crystals, and the big tree was burned into a piece of char by the flames in an instant.

Powerful good.

The disadvantage is that the proficiency is not enough, the power of the flame is somewhat scattered, and the power can definitely be improved by another level with a little training.

However, it is normal for incendiary bugs to be just out of their juvenile stage.

But what really surprised Natsuhiko.

It was after the tree had been burned to charcoal, and when the flames had dissipated, he saw a delicate emerald shoot drawn from the charred trunk.

Lonely but stubbornly pulled from dead trees, and growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"This"

"Whoa!"

Hudi's eyes glowed.

There is a surge of life energy in this flame.

"So. Is this the 'fire of life'? ”

Xia Yan was quite surprised by this.

The fire of life is the ability of the Phoenix King, its ability to be reborn as a phoenix, and it is also in the legend of the Burning Tower of the City, the Phoenix King resurrected three spirits trapped in the Burning Tower, and finally created the ability of Thunder Dog, Fire Dog, and Water Dog.

Even the Fire Dog inherited the ability of the Phoenix King in this regard.

And in the case of the Phoenix King, this move is called the "Sacred Fire".

The flame of the burning insect is certainly not comparable to the "sacred fire" of the Phoenix King, but the life energy contained in it is not less, and it is more appropriate to call it the "fire of life".

"In order to keep the Vulcan Moth alive, it absorbed a lot of life energy. Although the Vulcan Moth still didn't survive in the end, it seemed to leave all the life energy along with its own to the Burning Worm, and with the stimulation of the 'Rainbow Feather' as the opening, the Burning Worm would also use the life energy to a certain extent. ”

Xia Yan guessed in his heart the reason why the burning insect used the "fire of life".

I think it should be eight or nine and ten.

Of course.

While feeling the movement brought by this flame, Xia Yan was also a little surprised by the strength of the burning insect at this time.

Elite!

More precisely, it's an elite level not far from the hall master level!

The gift that belongs to the fire god moth is really good for the incendiary insects.

However, unlike Ladios, the energy belonging to the Vulcan Moth in the body of the Burning Worm has been completely absorbed, unlike Ladios because the energy is too large and needs to be digested slowly.

But such a gift also greatly shortens the long growth stage of the burning bug.

The Burning Bug is definitely the slowest evolving elf among all the bug-based elves in the elven world, and there is no one.

This makes it difficult not only for them to transform into Vulcan moths, but also for them to escape predators.

That's why the fire god moth is so rare and regarded as a god by the ancients.

"The Vulcan Moth really gave everything he could give to the Burning Worm." Xia Yan approached the incendiary insect again with a little emotion.

"Woo~~"

The burning insect thought of the figure that had given it warmth just now, and nodded.

Although it received a great gift and ended its infancy, it was not in a very good mood at this time.

Natsuhiko stroked its head.

"So don't let the Vulcan Moth down."

The incendiary worm has a firm look in its eyes.

Xia Yan smiled and continued: "In the future, others will call King Feng 'Little Fire God Moth'. ”

"Huh?"

The head of the burning insect tilted.

Is it the other way around?

Xia Yan smiled but did not speak.

Not really.

"Huh?!"

His breath is getting farther and farther away?

No!

It's gone!

His breath is gone!

On a thick layer of ice in pure white permafrost.

The small snow-white figure paused, his eyes dazed, helpless and confused.

Several figures behind him also took advantage of this time to approach it.

They danced in front of the little one.

Signaling that it can't go any further, the guy in front of it is not easy to deal with.

Now the little ones stopped and let them all breathe a sigh of relief.

The little guy in the confusion stopped and wandered for I don't know how long.

When the little one wonders if he is delusional.

It suddenly perked up.

"Whew!"

His breath reappeared, and it became closer!

Hope burst into her crimson eyes.

It's getting closer.

He's coming for me!

The little eyes instantly became resolute.

It whispered at the people, motioning for them not to move on.

Then resolutely in the night, quickly approaching in the direction of the breath.

Ignoring the persuasion and obstruction of its people, and ignoring the fact that it had already stepped into the most dangerous area of pure white permafrost at this time.

I've missed you once, and I definitely can't miss it again this time.

Decades.

So that you can remember me.

I haven't changed in decades.

I haven't left that area for decades.

I haven't forgotten your smell for decades.

Wait for me!

Boom Boom –

The thick ice began to tremble violently, as if something colossal was about to break through it.
