Chapter 152: Days with Karuni
Pitch-black nights are often the time when field trainers need to be most vigilant, let alone the sun and psychedelic forests that are rarely seen during the day.
If you really encounter danger at such a time, or accidentally set foot on the territory of a grumpy elf, how can you be an opponent of an elf who knows the surrounding environment well.
Even the powerful Karuni didn't want to cause trouble for herself because of such a thing.
Looking at the darkening sky overhead, she called out in a loud voice, "Wrestling eagleman, find a place to rest!" ”
"Howl!"
In the dense forest, the sound of the wrestling eagle man answered.
At the same time, Karuni also made the Ice Dragon stop and wait for the Wrestling Eagle to scout.
Half a minute later, a sturdy figure fell from the tree, and the wrestling eagle man wearing a mask landed in a handsome posture.
But he didn't have time to be busy playing handsome right now, and the arm glued to the wings pointed far ahead, "Howl! ”
Carluni, who had a heart-to-heart with her own elves, immediately understood what the wrestling eagle man meant, and she twisted her eyebrows and asked, "You mean, there is a trace of someone in front of you?" Poachers or travelers? ”
If it's the latter, it's fine, but if it's poachers...
Although with Karuni's strength, there are few poachers in the world who can surpass her.
But this is a wild field with no rules, and the opponent is a group of cunning villains who may disagree with each other in the American style, no matter how you think about it, it is not a good thing to meet this kind of person after all.
The Wrestling Hawkman shook his head, rejecting his trainer's worst conjecture.
However, Carluni did not take this lightly, and the bad guy can't write on his face, so it's safer to confirm this kind of thing herself.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a Poké Ball and summoned the elf inside, the Pumpkin Monster.
Ghost-based elves are easy to hide and are deadly weapons in the wild.
Ready, Karuni said solemnly, "Let's go, we'll meet him." ”
…………
Night hadn't quite fallen yet, but the makeshift camp site was already under a campfire.
The sporadic crackling of orange and yellow fires between the firewood added a warm and reassuring atmosphere to the cold forest night.
Sniffing the tantalizing aroma that came from the pot above the campfire and into the tip of his nose, Nighthawk regretted a little bit of the feast on the energy cube.
It thought that the energy cube was already the last taste of the world, but what was this aroma? It's so tempting!
It's a pity that his stomach has been enlarged by the energy cube, and he can't even find a reason to go to eat.
The owl nighthawk sighed secretly.
Forget it, I'm a security guard, protecting the safety of the Quartet.
Nighthawk, the owl who took a penny for a penny and did a penny, thought so, and dutifully stared at it with its eyes and ears pricked up to observe the movements around him.
Although it has been living in this area since birth, it knows that there are no elves who don't sleep and walk around outside at night.
Really, how can human beings be less courageous than me, in such a quiet and peaceful forest, there can be a ghost...
The owl nighthawk complained in his heart, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a terrifying face emitting a dark orange light among the dim trees and jungles, and he was smiling at him.
"Goo-"
The owl night hawk alarm went off instantly, and a hysterical panic shrill sound resounded through the forest.
……
"Whew... It turned out to be Miss Carluni, I thought it was another elven poault..."
Beside the bonfire that exuded warmth and light, Xia Chen, who had just been released from the state of alert, breathed a sigh of relief and said to the big star who sat down next to him.
Carluni didn't expect that the first person she met in this vast and cold forest would be a teenager she had met a few months ago.
This wonderful fate also made the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, and she replied with a smile: "I thought you were a poacher, but fortunately not... Wait, why did you just say again, you've encountered it before? ”
Xia Chen said helplessly: "Yes, there was once, but it was in the forest on the other side of Road 16." ”
Karuni frowned, "What a terrible experience, what about later?" How did you escape the thugs? ”
Xia Chen touched his chin, oops?
Well...
It seemed really bad for the three brothers, one died on the spot, and the other two were imprisoned.
"Uh... I'll subdue them all and wait for the rangers to come. ”
Karuni nodded abruptly, "It's a ranger... Wait, you said you subdued them all? ”
Xia Chen's strength Carluni probably knows that she is a rookie trainer who has just debuted for a year.
A Yin Bu, a Lalu Lasi, and a Menas who looked like a handle-bearer subdued the vicious elven poaching group in the wild?
It's a bit sci-fi, isn't it?
Or is it that Xia Chen himself is a powerful humanoid fighting elf?
Carluni looked at Xia Chen suspiciously, but it didn't feel like it no matter how you looked at it...
Therefore, it should be the credit of those elves.
Karuni looked at the elves beside Xia Chen, but found something she hadn't paid attention to before.
What is this snow-white, pink and tender elf nesting on the ground next to Xia Chen?
The future Carlos champion and superstar Carluni, who had been isolated for more than a month, was completely shocked.
…………
"So Miss Carluni hasn't had any contact with the outside world for more than a month."
No wonder it's like living on Mars...
Xia Chen didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Karuni could understand the meaning.
After reluctantly looking away from Xianbu, she explained: "The mobile phone has long been out of battery, and besides, there is no signal most of the time in the mountains, so I have not taken care of it. I didn't expect so many big things to happen during this time, and it's all about you..."
Xia Chen said with admiration: "I didn't expect that Miss Carluni, who has been in Vanity Fair, can endure losing contact with the outside world for more than a month, it seems that you really love the elf battle." ”
Karuni smiled, "You're already boasting about that, I'm about to end my trip to Yingxue City now." ”
She asked instead, "What about you?" What to do in the Psychedelic Forest? Want to meet your next elf? ”
After encountering more elves, subduing the companions who fit with you in the vast sea of elves is also an important reason for trainers to embark on their journey.
Xia Chen replied: "It's to subdue the elves, but not for yourself." ”
He then explained to Carluni the task that Dr. Bratano had given him.
"Is there a possible bad effect of the awakening of Zerniath..."
Karuni groaned slightly, and suddenly said, "When you say that, I really think back to some unreasonable things I saw along the way... Do you mind if I travel with you, I'm also curious about this conjecture of the doctor. ”
Karuni wants to be together?
Xia Chen was slightly surprised, and then thought that Karuni was the more reliable one among the champions in the same period, and he was relieved.
Compared to the noble son who is either digging stones or on the way to dig stones, and the mythological scholar who wanders with historical sites every day.
Although she hasn't become a champion yet, Carluni's sense of belonging and responsibility to the region is really not low... Presumably, she should be able to talk to Emperor Dan, who takes the revitalization of his hometown as his own responsibility.
And no matter how you look at it, in the psychedelic forest, where you don't know what dangers will exist, it's not a bad thing to have a trainer who is close to the Heavenly King level with you.
Retracting his thoughts, Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Then please take care of me for the next period of time." ”
——————
To the east of the Psychedelic Forest is a mountain that is covered with snow all year round.
Located on the north side of Yingxue City, with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, Kawa Snow Mountain is in the Albili Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, and is also the highest peak in the entire Carlos region.
No matter what the world, the snow-capped mountains that rise proudly in the sky have always been a place for explorers and trainers to conquer, not to mention the famous Kawa Snow Mountain.
On the mountainside of the majestic snow-capped mountain, an elf with snow-white hair and a dark blue curved horn like a crescent moon on its head crawled quietly in the snow, as if feeling something.
A cold wind blew mixed with cold snow and ice, and one side of Absolu's head was lifted, revealing her solemn countenance.
The snow-capped mountains stood silently beneath her, as if they were so solemn and holy that they would never change, but she faintly sensed something.
Abthorus is a spirit with special abilities, who are keenly aware of changes in the sky and the earth, and therefore have the ability to anticipate disasters.
The older you get, the more sensitive you are to disasters.
The Absoru was nearly 100 years old, long past the peak of her bodily functions, but her sense of the earth grew stronger with the passage of time.
On several occasions, she was able to detect an impending small avalanche and save the travelers who had come to challenge the Kawa Snow Mountain.
And this time, she clearly sensed the unusual rhythm coming from the ground, but she hesitated.
Because this rhythm is so unusual.
The unusual arrived... The disasters it has caused are so great that they cannot be measured.
Absolu didn't know whether to trust his own incredible judgment or not, but a disaster would rather be believed than not.
She looked out at the psychedelic forest at the foot of the mountain, and to the other direction, the city so small that it was barely visible, but inhabited by millions of humans and elves.
If that catastrophe does happen, these elves and people...
Not daring to think about it any more, Absoru stood up and looked into the distance with awe-inspiring eyes.
The Kawa Snow Mountain at the foot of the mountain, the Psychedelic Forest and the Yingxue City at the foot of the mountain, there are too many places to warn, and she doesn't know if she will have time at her own speed.
Feeling his aging body, Absolu took a deep breath.
Hopefully, it's still too late...
With his hooves and feet lightly, the snow-white Absolu jumped up and down a few times, and disappeared into the vast white snow like the wind.
…………
"Goo-goo-goo-"
The morning sun poured into the woods, and the nightjar of the owl that had stayed up all night made a yawn or a chirp, or maybe both.
Although there was a pumpkin monster at the vigil last night after Carluni came, Nighthawk, who had a beginning and an end, persevered to the end.
After all... Xia Chen still has the balance unsettled.
As a high-quality Party A, the first thing Xia Chen, who had just woken up, did after washing up was to throw the three boxes of energy cubes to the owl Nighthawk.
He also carefully tied them with rope and tied them in a knot so that the owl nightjar could carry them.
"Goo~"
With the fruits of the night's labor in hand, the owl nighthawk happily waved its wings at Xia Chen, and then flew away with the reward.
Xia Chen stretched and began to prepare breakfast.
Because of the addition of Karuni, there is a lot to be done for breakfast today.
Ice dragons, jaw dragons, slimy dragons... These guys look like they're pretty edible.
Eh, I don't want to know, after thinking about it, Karunai seems to be barely a "dragon envoy"?
At least, the number of elves with two dragon attributes should not be less than that of a certain dragon champion, right?
Tyrannosaurus, fossil pterosaurs, fire-breathing dragons, and large steel snakes... What is this?
"Morning, Xia Chen... Hmm, it's very fragrant. ”
In his heart, he was secretly arranging a champion who was not worthy of the name, and Karuni's voice came from behind him.
Looking back, the queen Carlos was stretching out of another tent.
Perhaps because she had just woken up, Karuni was not as elegant and delicate as usual, her sleepy eyes were hazy, her steps were vain, and she didn't seem to have recovered from her sleep.
is also normal, whether it is a future champion or a big star, in any case, she is first and foremost a normal person.
…………
"Hmm... You're traveling in the wilderness, and breakfast is freshly made, huh? ”
Karuni followed the fragrance and approached Xia Chen's side, with a look of amazement.
Xia Chen asked as a matter of course: "Otherwise? Let the elves eat energy cubes and cans? ”
Karuni blushed a little, then coughed twice to change the subject, "How far are we from where Zernas woke up?" ”
Xia Chen shook his head, and then pointed to the Xianbu who was running in the snow with Lalulasi and Zoroya in the snow, and said, "I don't know, it's always been Xianbu who leads the way." ”
Karuni was surprised, "Senbu is leading the way, you trust her so much?" ”
She had always thought that Dr. Bratano had provided the little-known road map.
Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Sometimes I trust her judgment more than I trust myself. ”
Karuni took a deep look at the cute unspoken elf in the snow, and then shrugged her shoulders towards Xia Chen.
"Okay, the guest is as you please, you lead the way in this operation, even if you can't find it, you should travel for a while."
Xia Chen nodded and responded simply, his attention was focused on the pot in his hand at this time.
With a chic spoon, a dozen fried eggs from the oversized pan fell smoothly into the plate next to it.
A simple and nutritious fried egg of happiness is freshly baked.
The extremely beautiful and controlled movements made Carluni's eyes shine, such a professional action, this teenager's cooking skills have two hands!
However, Xia Chen's next sentence made her eyes darken.
"Miss Carluni, your moo milk should be drunk at room temperature or hot."
Karuni had a question mark on her face, and the shock seemed to be no less than the first time she saw Xianbu yesterday, "Can you still drink the milk when it's heated?" ”
Xia Chen's eyes lit up, as if something had been provoked.
He took over the sudden battle, and sneered at each other: "On such a cold day, can you drink milk without heating?" ”
"Please, it's good to have a little common sense, heating will spoil the protein and lose nutrients!"
"Huh? As long as the temperature is controlled below 60 degrees, the heated milk will not only make the body absorb better, but also improve muscle strength! ”
“... What kind of pseudoscience is this for you? ”
“......”
