Xia Chen immediately accepted this seemingly strange deal.

No, it's not so much a deal as a help to Shirona herself.

If you use your brain, you can think that this condition is just a joke made by Sirona and herself.

The purpose of her keeping herself for another month should be to impart some more knowledge related to cultivation and combat as she has done these days.

While Xia Chen's heart was filled with warmth, it was inevitable that he had some doubts.

Sirona's care for herself is a bit outrageous, is her purpose just to be optimistic and expected from herself?

A woman's heart, a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Xia Chen didn't dare to guess, and he didn't want to guess, so he could only temporarily attribute the reason to the two known reasons.

And over there, Sirona looked at Xia Chen, who was stunned and thoughtful, how could she not know what he was thinking.

What a cautious teenager

Sirona smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "Don't think about it so much, those cultivation knowledge and combat experience are no different from a few hundred yuan for me, and if you hire a top chef for a month, I still think I have earned it." ”

That being said, but from the perspective of a third party, it is clear who is more advantageous.

But Sister Zhulan said so, Xia Chen had to write down this kindness in her heart first, and then try to repay it in the future.

As for staying in the Sinnoh region for another month, there is nothing wrong with his side.

Anyway, the school leave is in November, so you just need to rush back before the tryouts.

Presumably, if Principal Yu knew that he was studying with Sirona every day in the Sinnoh region, with his character, let alone approving himself for another two months of leave, it would not be a problem to graduate.

…………

Because of the major discovery of the "snail shell" and the elf egg, the afternoon exploration was not so rushed.

Of course, Xia Chen, Sirona and the elves began to study the treatment of this elven egg in a "half-dead" state.

The attending physicians are, of course, Senbu and Chirulian, while Lucario, who has the ability to detect the breath of life, and the Fierce Bite Land Shark serve as deputies.

Xia Chen is a little nurse at best.

The treatment team first experimented with the most direct and crude protocol.

Xianbu first tried to use silk to probe into the slime, and directly tied the elf egg to slowly convey the life energy in his body.

This is the strange change that Senbu discovered in his body after he almost drained the energy from the antlers in that battle with Ippeltar, and the blessing of Zhenias later also played a role in strengthening this change.

If he had to find a theory that stood up, Xianbu felt that it was about ten minutes when he was broken by the pure energy originating from Zernas again and again, and then immediately healed by the life energy.

After countless breaks, Xianbu was "extracted" by that energy into what it is now, which can be called the existence of "Little Zhelnias".

Of course, the strength and total amount of energy of Xianbu are definitely not comparable to that of Zernias, but for a dying elf egg, it is absolutely precious.

As the life energy continued to flow into the elf egg, Lucario, who was monitoring the life breath of the elf egg with the power of the waveguide, showed irrepressible surprise on his face.

She thought that the "try" that Xia Chen and Xianbu said was just the kind of trial of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, who would have thought that it would really work.

It's like a person who has passed the first seven years and gives him an infusion of selva fluid, and his electrocardiogram jumps again!

What kind of immortal potion is this lost?

Is it so outrageous

…………

Sirona saw Lucario's face, and also understood that the elf egg had changed, she looked at the calm face of Senbu in surprise, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "This can't be and"

Before she could finish speaking, Sirona stopped herself.

She understood that this ability possessed by Senbu was most likely related to the awakening of Ipeltar.

And something like this, which is closely related to the legendary elves, is undoubtedly one of the biggest secrets of Xia Chen and Xianbu, and it would be too impolite to ask about it.

Sirona, who has a very sense of boundaries, braked the car in time and did not let the atmosphere fall into embarrassment.

But Sirona didn't ask, it didn't mean that Xia Chen wouldn't take the initiative to say, he shrugged his shoulders and replied: "That's right, it's related to the awakening of Ipeltar, but this is a very long story, does Sister Zhulan want to hear it?" ”

As the saying goes, if you have too much debt, you don't have to worry, and the ghost Zoroa has told Shirona about it, so what's so bad about this inconsequential past?

But from another perspective, Xia Chen's reaction made Sirona slightly stunned.

This guy. Do you trust yourself so much?

For someone like Sirona, unreserved trust is something that moves you more than any words.

She didn't know if Xia Chen still had a secret hidden deeper in her heart, but it was very rare to be able to share such an important thing with herself.

A ripple appeared in Sirona's heart, her eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Then you can talk about it."

Xia Chen didn't know the changes in Sirona's heart, he nodded, and began to talk about the past.

"The story starts with the withered sacred tree in Aromatherapy City"

……

"I didn't expect that little toy that Senbu picked up turned out to be the key to fighting Ipeltar."

After listening to this thrilling story, after a long time, Sirona, who was immersed in it, slowly came back to her senses and sighed with some amazement.

The never-ending spirit of exploration is one of the most valuable qualities for any good trainer, and so is Sirona.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have let the league champion go, and ran to the deserted deep mountains and old forests and desert depths every day to do some mythological research and explore the ruins.

But compared to Xia Chen's experience in the Carlos region, Sirona suddenly felt that her previous ruins exploration was not fragrant in an instant.

…………

Xia Chen and Xirona were chatting about the story related to the divine beast, but over there, Xianbu's "infusion therapy" suddenly had an accident.

After all, Xianbu still only has the strength of less than the elite level, and the life energy delivered at one time is limited after all.

After nearly ten minutes of continuous transmission, the life energy stored in Xianbu's body was somewhat insufficient.

If it is transported again, there is a high possibility that it will damage the fairy cloth itself.

Xianbu is not the kind of virgin, and he is willing to hurt himself to help an elf egg he doesn't know.

She wouldn't do this kind of stupid thing, and she believed that Xia Chen wouldn't support her to do such a thing.

So after reaching the limit that would not harm herself, she immediately stopped the energy delivery and pulled the silk out.

And only half a minute after Senbu stopped transmitting life energy, Lucario, who had been monitoring the signs of the elven egg with the power of the waveguide, frowned.

Because in her perception, the "electrocardiogram" of this elf egg gradually returned to calm.

Xia Chen, who learned the news from Sirona, sighed softly and muttered, "This is difficult."

According to Lucario, once Senbu's life energy delivery stops, the elven egg will return to its previous half-dead inactive state.

Doesn't that mean that Senbu needs to keep delivering energy until the elven eggs hatch?

But this is also a completely impossible thing to achieve.

For one, it is impossible for Xianbu to stay by the elven egg for a while twenty-four hours a day and be a full-time nanny.

secondly

Looking at Xianbu, who was a little tired, Xia Chen also understood that life energy was not an endless thing for her.

So even with Chirulian rotating transportation, trying to hatch this elf egg in this way is a bit too sci-fi.

He was quite distressed and picked up the fairy cloth and fed her the energy cube, although he didn't know if it would work, but at least it could start the effect of psychological comfort.

…………

The first route failed, Xia Chen didn't have much of a sense of loss, if he just tried a little and gave up, he wouldn't insist on handing over the elf eggs to himself to raise.

Looking at this elf egg, Xia Chen fell into deep thought.

Obviously, the main reason why the first treatment didn't work was that Senbu didn't have the ability to provide a steady stream of life energy to the elf eggs.

So, is there any way to solve this critical problem?

Xia Chen's first thought was undoubtedly to improve Xianbu's strength.

It is undoubtedly the most convenient way to increase the strength and quantity of energy by increasing strength.

But with Xianbu's current strength, there is undoubtedly a long way to go to get to that level.

Although this method is stable, it cannot be done in a short period of time.

Although this elf egg has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, it should be no problem to wait for another three and five years, but Xia Chen wants to raise this sticky treasure as the sixth main elf.

Three or five years, the elf egg can afford to wait, but he can't afford to wait.

Then if you go fast.

Tracking down the trail of Jernias and asking it to help hatch is undoubtedly the most successful and convenient way.

But legend has it that the elves are so easy to see above?

Last time, if it wasn't for Ipeltar waking up and wreaking havoc, it's a question of whether or not Zernhas will appear.

And it is even more difficult to find it in a peaceful state in the Carlos region.

So this plan can only be put aside for the time being.

…………

His fingers subconsciously wrapped around the silk that was playing with the fairy cloth, and Xia Chen exhaled lightly.

Sure enough, it is not easy to resurrect an elf egg from a thousand years ago

Feeling Xia Chen's distraction, Xiao Duolong, who was lying on top of his head, rubbed his head with his little paws, trying to help him soothe his spirit.

Although the technique is not very skillful, Xiao Duolong's sharp claws scraped on the scalp, which really made Xia Chen a clever and mentally energetic.

This thing is much more than any soul extractor that was popular in the previous life

Xia Chen rolled his eyes, and hurriedly pressed Duolong Messia, who still wanted to continue, "The massage is good, don't press it again next time." ”

"Messi."

Xiao Duolong replied guiltily, and flew to the side with his precious scales to absorb it.

Chirulian also wanted to help Xia Chen, and she tried to put her hand into the slime to see if she could help.

But her hands were a little short, and she couldn't touch the elven eggs wrapped in slime at all, and her small hands didn't have the random expansion and contraction function of fairy cloth.

struggled to reach forward, and the life energy transmitted from his hand could not reach the position of the elf egg, and could only be poured into the slime.

A trace of light green energy full of vitality did not dissipate immediately, but drew an elegant freehand landscape painting in the slime.

What kind of medium is this mucus that can retain life energy?

This magical scene made Xia Chen a little surprised.

But when I think about it, for thousands of years, elf eggs have absorbed nutrients and energy from the mucus to maintain a little bit of vitality, and it seems not surprising that this little bit of life energy has been retained

Thinking of this, Xia Chen had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly had a new idea.

…………

He turned his head to look at Lucario and asked, "Lucario, can you help monitor later, how much life energy is needed to keep the elf eggs active?" ”

"Luca?"

Although Lucario was a little confused about Xia Chen's purpose, she still agreed to the request of the opposite sex, who was closest to her own trainer.

Sirona on the side seemed to understand Xia Chen's thoughts, she nodded suddenly, and guessed: "Do you want to not directly send life energy to the elf egg, but dilute it in the mucus and let the elf egg absorb it by itself?" ”

This time it was Xia Chen's turn to be the teacher, and he expanded it to explain: "That's right, this ball of slime is like a power bank for elf eggs, as long as Xianbu and Chirulian inject life energy into the slime at one time, they can continue to keep the elf eggs in that state, then they can make the slimy treasure reactivated!" ”

Sirona's eyes lit up, and she added: "The feasibility of this plan is very high, the unborn elves are very weak, and they don't need to absorb too much life energy to slowly wake up, and most of the energy that Xianbu delivered before should be wasted, so theoretically, as long as the concentration of life energy in the mucus is kept to a minimum, it is enough." ”

Theory belongs to theory, and practice produces true knowledge.

No matter how much they discussed, they couldn't let the elf eggs hatch, so after letting Xianbu replenish his energy, Xia Chen began the experiment.

Silk reaches into the slime again, but this time it's not the elven egg, it's the slime itself.

It is also life energy, and the color of the energy released by the fairy cloth is a little richer than that released by Chirulian, and it is generally grass green.

And this time, the immortal cloth didn't have to be released slowly, and in less than half a minute, all the life energy that had taken ten minutes to consume had been vented.

In just half a minute, the entire slime mass was filled with immortal cloth's life energy, and the green ones were a little panicked, and even the elf eggs were blocked and disappeared.

…………

"Good work, Senbu."

Looking at the fairy cloth whose footsteps were a little vain, Xia Chen hugged her back into his arms quite distressedly.

Senbu has done his best, and now it's time to put the results of this perfectly preset plan to the test.

After about a minute of life energy completely flooding the slime mass, Lucario, who had closed his eyes for a while, finally nodded.

This means that the first step of the treatment plan is successful!

Then next, you only need to know how long the life energy released by Xianbu can be absorbed by the elf egg at one time, and then let Xianbu continue to charge the "power bank" before that, and you can complete the perfect closed loop!

Lucario, of course, understood this, and immediately sat cross-legged next to the slime mass, and consciously began to act as the "real-time monitoring machine of life activity" of the elf egg.

Looking at the slime mass rich in life energy, Sirona said: "The elf egg will definitely not be able to absorb this energy for a while, just let Lucario watch it, let's go, we still have exploration progress this afternoon." ”

Although Xia Chen was quite curious about this matter, he knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he nodded in agreement.

"Good work, Lucario! During this time, the elven eggs will be taken care of by you. ”

"Luka!"

Lucario nodded indifferently, for her, patience training is also part of her practice.

"And Xianbu, you also have to recover and rest, before the new partner hatches, it's all up to you!"

"Boo!"

After eating half a box of energy cubes, Xianbu, who had just regained some vitality, also nodded in response.

After instructing the two elves who were resting outside, Xia Chen followed Sirona into the dark ruins again.

…………

When Xia Chen and Sirona came out again, it was already close to five o'clock in the evening.

As soon as they came out, they couldn't wait to run to the slime mass that Lucario was guarding.

Surprisingly, the transparent mucus was still full of vitality, but the color was lighter than at the beginning, as if it hadn't consumed much life energy at all.

Is Life Energy so durable?

Xia Chen did not rush to this conclusion, after all, there was another possibility.

Xianbu may have been a little tired and had already fallen asleep in a small sleeping bag on the side, so Xia Chen looked at Lucario, who was like an old monk, and asked with some apprehension: "Xianbu added energy again?" ”

Lucario shook his head.

Xia Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, the time to enter the ruins this time was about two hours, if the immortal cloth was not enough to absorb the elf egg for two hours at a charge, then this treatment plan could almost be declared a failure.

And now, Xia Chen smiled slightly.

At the current rate, it is at least enough for the elf egg to absorb it for more than half a day.

If it's this frequency, Xianbu will be at ease.

I hope it goes so well.

After knowing the bottom of his heart, Xia Chen didn't pay so much attention to the elf eggs, as usual, cooking, eating, resting, and going to class, and the time soon came to sleep.

Seven or eight hours passed, and the greenery in the mucus mass gradually faded, but it was far from dissipating, and it should be no problem to hold on until twelve hours.

Xia Chen was a little worried about Lucario, who had been guarding the slime mass for so long, and at the same time had to use the power of the waveguide to monitor the activity of the elf egg, could he withstand it?

Regarding Xia Chen's worries, Sirona just smiled slightly: "You also underestimate Lucario's strength, right?" ”

Lucario's trainers all said so, and Xia Chen, who was worried, had no choice but to sleep peacefully and wait for the results of the next day's experiment.

…………

The results of the experiment were so encouraging that it was not until around eleven o'clock the next morning, when the green color of the slime mass had faded to a minimal, that Lucario informed Xia Chen that the elven egg had lost its activity.

This also means that a single charge of the fairy cloth can allow the elf egg to absorb for up to twenty hours!

Charge for half a minute and last 20 hours.

This is much stronger than Xia Chen's expected result.

However, before the sticky treasure is actually hatched, it is far from optimistic.

The devil knows how long it will take to absorb the life energy to bring the elven egg back to normal.

But at least it's off to a good start.

——————

Since this elven egg, there has been nothing worth mentioning in the underground exploration of the ruins.

So, on October 20, they finally ended their exploration of this tentative "temple ruins".

After the Sinnoh Alliance took over, Xia Chen and Shirona returned to Shenhe Town on Pokkiss and the Fierce Bite Land Shark.

Now that she had returned from the ruins, Sirona was not in such a hurry to leave.

After spending three days with Grandma Mustard Orchid at the Shinwa Town Historical Research Institute and telling her about many amazing discoveries in the ruins, the two returned to Zhuqing City.

Xia Chen and Sirona are not too materialistic people, but back in modern society, they can finally do something that they have been looking forward to for a long time.

It's a good hot bath.

After all, the conditions of the barren mountains and mountains are really limited, and the two can only guarantee a minimum of cleanliness.

And returned to the well-equipped home, after putting down the luggage, Xia Chen and Xirona tacitly chose to go into the bathroom and take a comfortable hot bath at the first time.

It wasn't until his head was a little dizzy that Xia Chen stood up slowly.

"Whew, it's comfortable."

After he was comfortable, of course, he couldn't help but make the elves comfortable, and after changing a pot of hot water, Xia Chen threw all the elves except Menas and Xiao Duolong into the bathtub.

After all, the two of them are boys, so of course they still have to avoid suspicion when taking a bath.

The bathtub in the second bedroom was not big, and the three elves of Senbu, Chirulian, and Zoroa were just right in it.

Seeing that the three elves all squinted their eyes and enjoyed the long-lost hot bath, Xia Chen also showed the smile of his old father.

After putting on shower gel for his third daughter Soloya, who was not very convenient for him to bathe, Xia Chen just wanted to get up, and was pulled by a small white hand.

"Chiru~"

Chirulian blinked at Xia Chen with her big wet eyes, her eyes full of anticipation that people couldn't refuse.

"Don't you have superpowers, you should be able to do things like taking a bath yourself, right?"

Xia Chen couldn't say this kind of thing after all.

Looking at the poor Crulian Ann, although she knew that she was pretending, who could refuse the request of a quiet and cute heterochromatic Crulian?

The second daughter is served, not to mention the last eldest daughter, of course, a bowl of water is even.

After being busy for a while, Xia Chen stood up and washed off the foam on his hands, turned his head and said, "I'll go out to cook for you first, Xianbu, you take care of your two younger sisters." ”

"Tbu Tt�

The fairy cloth that was flushed in the bath stretched out the silk from under the water and waved goodbye to Xia Chen.
