October 11, Zhijiang City.

After nearly two months of absence, Xia Chen returned to his hometown, and finally met the sticky Mei'er and Cangyan Blade Ghost who stayed at home.

Unlike the chaotic scene he had imagined, the home where only two elves lived was in good order.

What surprised Xia Chen even more was that Sticky Meier had evolved into a Sticky Dragon!

With a height of more than two meters, Xia Chen couldn't connect her with the sticky treasure who liked to stick to her at the beginning of the year.

Behind it, the large, almost body-tall steel shell that looks very weighty glows with a cool metallic sheen in the sunlight.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the sticky personality of Sticky Meilong, who threw himself into Xia Chen's arms as usual as soon as they met.

And with her current size, the result would only be to carry him and fall on the soft grass in the yard.

"Alright. Stop it. Itchy. ”

Putting aside the sticky tentacles that were squirming around her body, Xia Chen asked about business, "Why did you evolve so quickly?" ”

According to the expected energy intensity detected before leaving, it will not be until at least the end of the year to reach the energy intensity required for evolution.

And it turned out to be so much earlier?

Sticky Meilong looked around a little weakly, and subconsciously glanced at the Cangyan Blade Ghost not far away.

He also said to him, "Sticky-(this, isn't it almost time, ah yes, why are we moving to a new house, I'm looking forward to it!) ）”

Xia Chen looked at the slimy steel dragon who was already two heads taller than himself with a strange expression, and the Cangyan Blade Ghost who seemed to be closing his eyes in the corner, thinking that these two guys must have secretly done something while he was not at home.

Speaking of which, it only took ten months for the Slimy Dragon to evolve from birth to its final form

It's still October for humans to conceive, and this is a late-blooming quasi-god!

If you want to be a metaphor, she should be the kind of protagonist of the mortal stream, how did she become the protagonist of the genius stream that pushes the world all the way?

Xia Chen didn't know if this speed had broken the world record, but even if it hadn't, it was somewhat too amazing.

Either way, it's always a good thing to evolve.

After asking Gu Letun to help check that there was no problem with the body and energy in the body, Xia Chen also let go of the doubts in his heart and turned to test the strength of the evolved Slim Dragon.

…………

Let's put the conclusion first, very strong, very strong, so strong that it is not at all the strength that an elf less than a year old can have.

A one-year-old gym-level elf, before that, Xia Chen couldn't even think of it!

Eevee and the ugly cleach are already exemplars of extremely fast growth, but even if you start with their encounter and push back a year, it will only barely reach the elite level.

It will be pushed back another year, that is, now, they have the strength of the Daoguan.

And the sticky beauty dragon has stiffly shortened the process by half, in addition to the terrifying talent revealed at birth, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of the Cangyan Blade Ghost.

Speaking of the Cangyan Blade Ghost, Xia Chen remembered what he showed during the video call, as if he had changed the state of an elf.

He couldn't help but look at this special elf who had joined the team the latest, only to find that it also happened to be looking at him faintly.

There is indeed no more indifference in the eyes of the vicissitudes of life at the beginning, but pretending to be calm curiosity and ignorance.

Although this was the normal appearance of a young elf who had just been subdued, the difference between before and after still made Xia Chen feel a little strange.

This time I want to build an island in Zhijiang, and I won't leave it for a short time, so I can cultivate a relationship with him.

Xia Chen thought so in his heart.

In order to celebrate the smooth evolution of the sticky dragon and the safe return of himself and the elves, Xia Chen decided to set up a big table in the evening.

He invited his two assistants, Yan Shu and Christa, who had stayed in Zhijiang, and Jiang Qian, who had returned from Padia last month, to come to his house for dinner.

Speaking of which, Xia Chen's relationship with them is not only friends, but also bosses and subordinates.

So although they deliberately emphasized that they didn't talk about work at the dinner table, the three of them inevitably talked about some work-related things.

"The commercial development of the secret plant is going well, as of the time I returned to Donghuang, the seasoning made from the first salty secret plant has entered the trial production stage, and the other flavors have also made progress. Because of the shift in the focus of work, there has not been much growth, and I will send you the specific data after eating. ”

Jiang Qian briefly described the company's recent development during this period.

Xia Chen couldn't help this workaholic, and said with a wry smile: "It's hard Sister Jiang, let's eat first." ”

Seeing that the second-in-command is like this, the little assistant Yan Shu and the workplace Xiaomeng Xin Christa dare not slack off.

Yan Shu put down his chopsticks and reported seriously: "The construction of the island is also being carried out in an orderly manner, and it has been connected to the water, electricity, and network, and the building of the elf center and the Taoist hall is large-scale and has a long construction period, but your residence is expected to be completed before the year, and there are beautiful flowers, Miss Skirt, these grass elves that can purify the air, you don't have to worry about health problems, and you can move in at any time." ”

Christa has only been here for less than a month, so her workload is much smaller.

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "The ecological planning work on the island is relatively easy, and those wild elves are not difficult to communicate with, and most of them are willing to cooperate, except for a heterochromatic ring bear. ”

Xia Chen knows this nail household, the circle bear guarding the secret of the island, but didn't he communicate well last time?

He frowned and asked, "What, it's not convinced?" ”

Christaga said helplessly: "There is an area that it won't let us in. ”

Xia Chen squinted and nodded, "I know, I'll meet it myself when I go to the island then." ”

…………

After lunch, the three of them left to continue working for their bosses.

And because Xia Chen had just returned from Hoen, he was not in a hurry to inspect the island he was thinking about, and he couldn't run away from the island anyway.

He came to the room of the Cangyan Blade Ghost, ready to chat with him to strengthen his relationship.

As soon as the guy finished eating, he hurried back to his room, not knowing what he was anxious about.

Xia Chen knocked on the door twice with curiosity, but found that the door was not locked, but hidden.

A moral dilemma lay ahead of him—should he sneak a peek into what the Flame Blade was doing in the room, or should he get his permission to go in again?

Out of the protection of the elves' personal privacy, Xia Chen chose the latter.

But God didn't fulfill people's wishes, and even knocked on the door several times, but there was no response inside, and Xia Chen had no choice but to choose another option.

Pushing the door open, he found that the room was very hot and smoky, as if something was burning.

The Flame Blade Ghost is cooking something to eat by himself?

Chef Xia Chen immediately put himself in the shoes of this possibility.

But didn't you just eat? Or is it said. He didn't think what he made was delicious, so he came back to open a small stove?

This Xia Chen can't bear it, you can question my character, but you can't insult my cooking skills!

Unconvinced, he walked through the curling smoke, ready to see what this guy was doing, more tempting than the food he made.

However, what surprised him was that the source of the smoke in the room was not pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, but a black Ding, I don't know what material it was cast?

And the Cangyan Blade Ghost sat in front of this black ding, running a cold and lonely ghost fire, and was engrossed. Alchemy?

Xia Chen thought for a moment that he had crossed into some fantasy fairy world, and touched the round Poke Ball in his hand, he confirmed the fact that he was still in the elf world.

Then, there is no problem with yourself, in the world of alchemy where there is no pill at all, the problem is the Cangyan Blade Ghost!

In other words, the reason why Mu Mei'er was able to evolve so quickly was most likely related to the elixir refined by the Cangyan Blade Ghost.

After a simple method of elimination, Xia Chen discovered the truth.

However, he didn't have the slightest joy of discovering the truth, because for his own elves, no problem seemed to be abnormal

So Xia Chen quickly accepted the fact that the Cangyan Blade Ghost would do alchemy-what could he do if he didn't accept it, and he could still lie to himself that he was actually rubbing mud pills?

But where did all this messy skill come from, is it Arceus's bad taste?

This question is not something that Xia Chen can understand at this stage, he buried his doubts in his heart, and began to observe the alchemy process of the Cangyan Blade Ghost.

…………

His state was very focused, so focused that Xia Chen walked behind him and stood for a long time without noticing.

The flame in his hand flickered big and small, flickering and dimming, and not a minute of continuous state was maintained.

Xia Chen thought about it, the difficulty of this alchemy seemed to be much higher than cooking or making energy cubes by himself, and it was no wonder that the Cangyan Blade Ghost was unaware of his arrival.

He was afraid of disturbing the Cangyan Blade Ghost, so he just stood quietly behind him and watched, without saying a word.

The process of alchemy lasted for nearly half an hour, and finally when the intensity of the strange fragrance in the room climbed to its peak, the white flame was quietly extinguished, and the Cangyan Blade Ghost also opened its eyes.

Sniffing the smell that filled the air, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and he muttered to himself: "Click. (Finally refining the best dragon power pill)"

"Were you just alchemy?"

The sudden sound behind him startled the Cangyan Blade Ghost, and he turned his head sharply to find that it was his own trainer.

Xia Chen pointed to the door and explained, "I wanted to talk to you, but I came in by myself when the door was not closed." ”

Only then did the Cangyan Blade Ghost remember that he was used to the days when there were only himself and Sticky Meilong at home, and he even forgot to lock the door for such things as alchemy.

Fortunately, Xia Chen didn't bother himself, otherwise this time it would definitely be a failure.

Wait, the Flame Blade Ghost suddenly discovered a blind spot that he had just overlooked.

"Click? (How did you know this is called alchemy?) ）”

This is a precious memory left to him before his other consciousness leaves, how would he know?

Xia Chen smiled, "I may know more than you think, this is what another being taught you, right?" Say hello to him for me. ”

If he didn't guess wrong, the Cangyan Blade Ghost's body should have hidden an old grandfather from a certain fantasy fairy world, which also explains why before and after he left, the Cangyan Blade Ghost's performance was so abnormal-

At that time, it was time for the old man to take over the body!

In fact, Xia Chen's guess is already eight or nine, but the truth is more outrageous than he imagined.

But in the ears of the Cangyan Blade Ghost, Xia Chen's words meant that he knew almost everything—the existence of the medicine dust soul, the source of the alien fire and alchemy, and even more things that he didn't even know.

Because the memorial eulogy "Say hello to him for me" can show that he and his other consciousness knew each other before, and there was even some kind of communication between them before his own ontological consciousness was awakened!

Xia Chen saw that Cangyan Blade Ghost was silent for a long time, and thought that he was communicating with the "old man", so he hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, I know him too, and I won't interfere with his guidance to you, but you don't need to hide this kind of thing from me in the future, I support it, and if you need anything, I can also help you, just like when he was there." ”

…………

Xia Chen has different ways of getting along with his own elves, if he has to compare it, he thinks it's almost the same as falling in love.

Senbushanai Domenas, they are like young tamers who are desperate, and they will not leave even if they drive them away.

Duolongqi sticky Meilongsai rich people are happy partners, and there is a high probability that they can go through their lives.

But Dio Chisis, so Leton, and the Flame Blade ghosts. It can't be said that the dew is in love, but Xia Chen always feels that they will leave one day.

So when they get along, he gives them the most freedom.

On the other side, the Cangyan Blade Ghost began to diverge his thoughts on Xia Chen's words.

Support, help. Does it refer to the materials needed for alchemy?

Same as when he was. Sure enough, before the Yaochen consciousness dissipated, what decision did the two discuss?

For example, entrusting himself to Xia Chen after his consciousness dissipated?

In fact, after the awakening of the true proprioceptive consciousness, his feelings for Xia Chen were complicated.

He had all the memories of Xia Chen's time after he rescued him, that is, when Yaochen consciousness dominated his body, but it was more like watching as a third person.

He witnessed the Tan attendant who was aware of Yaochen agreeing to become Xia Chen's partner, and also watched what happened later.

But that wasn't what he had experienced, so he was very grateful to Xia Chen for saving his life at that time, but to say that he was truly recognized as his trainer, it seemed to be more or less tasteless.

After all, it was Yaochen who promised Xia Chen, what did it matter to me Cangyan Blade Ghost?

And now, Xia Chen came back to communicate with him, and he was a little knotted.

After being silent for a while, the Flame Blade Ghost said, "Kalu. (I understand, I won't hide those things from you in the future.) ）”

Xia Chen smiled slightly and bowed his head slightly.

One person and one ghost are not talking about chickens and ducks on the same channel at all, and in the end they have reached a fairly satisfactory consensus, which can only be said to be a coincidence.

"Click-(By the way, this is the Dragon Power Pill I refined, it can increase the power of the elves after taking it, there are seven pieces in this furnace, you take them and divide them, it will be my late greeting gift.) ）”

As soon as the gap in his heart was resolved, the Cangyan Blade Ghost sent a valuable meeting gift.

Xia Chen was not polite and accepted it for the elves.

It just so happened that Menas went to practice with the Liekong Sitting, and the seven pieces were just right.

Otherwise, it's the classic problem of [how to divide seven apples fairly among eight children].

LONG Lidan. It sounds familiar, but I can't remember it for a while, and the effect of the power amplification sounds like it's tied to the attack, and although they don't seem to be useful like the Sanai Duo Sai Billionaire, it doesn't hurt to do anything.

Thinking so, Xia Chen took the seven dark red pills from the Cangyan Blade Ghost's hand and turned around and went out.

…………

It's already a very strange thing that elixirs appear in the elven world, and what's even more ridiculous is that the effect of this thing is quite good.

Although Xia Chen had already seen it, he still complained silently in his heart for a long time.

During the time that Xia Chen left, it was not only the evolved Sticky Beauty Dragon whose strength had skyrocketed, but also the Cangyan Blade Ghost, but it was not as exaggerated as her, but it had already reached the elite level.

If you want to improve, the accumulation of time is indispensable.

Speaking of accumulation, Duo Longqi has been accumulating for a long time.

His energy strength has actually met the conditions for evolution a long time ago, but the resurrection of Doron Messia's sister still needs Millerton's "help", which is the biggest reason hindering evolution.

In fact, it doesn't have to be Millerton, Gurador, Liekong Sit, these legendary elves all have this ability, but the energy source of one is Multon, and the other is asymmetrical, Xia Chen is uncomfortable.

It's like the tattooed people are all green dragons on the left and white tigers on the right, and you are a green dragon on the left, why does the right side become Cthulhu?

So, of course, Xia Chen started Milleton's idea.

"Eh, you say, how about we call Liekong to sit together and beat Milletton?"

Xia Chen's proposal made Gu Leton's eyes light up, it didn't have any revenge of its own, this kind of old and pedantic thinking, as long as it could make that guy deflated, anyone could come.

So it nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I'll lead the way!" ”

Xia Chen snapped his fingers, "No problem, then we'll set off when Liekong sends Menas back." ”

The time for his return to Padia was finalized, and before that, Xia Chen decided to focus on the construction of Yuanling Island.

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Chen took the elves to Yuanling Island.

After two months, several magnificent buildings covering a wide area have risen from the ground, blowing a gust of wind from human civilization on this scenic island.

This is not a bad thing for the local native elves, and the participation of human civilization has certainly caused some problems, but it has undoubtedly brought many conveniences.

At least in terms of medical treatment, elves injured by accidents don't have to rely solely on tree fruits and the [Healing Waves] mastered by individual elves to heal their injuries.

What's more, under Xia Chen's flickering at that time, the local elves were quite receptive to humans.

Coupled with Yan Shu and Christa's planned and organized deliberate curry favor and bribery, the relationship between the islanders and the elves is quite harmonious.

Except, of course, a certain stubborn green bear.

…………

"Well, this is it, from here on, let's go inside, and the bear will jump out and scare people."

Christa pointed to a lush bush and said, "If you have to fight, you can definitely fight, but it doesn't go against your idea of an island [of harmonious development between humans and elves]." ”

"It's okay, I'll talk to it."

Xia Chen walked towards the bushes, and Soroak transformed into a pink butterfly and followed behind Xia Chen, preventing the mad bear from coming out and biting people.

The quiet abnormality in the bushes, Xia Chen relied on his superpowers, and he was not too worried.

Suddenly, a green bear with almost the same color as the surrounding environment emerged from the green bushes and pounced towards Xia Chen.

Although it was a swoop, Xia Chen could clearly detect that she was not using energy, so this was mostly a scare element.

But Zoroark, who turned into a pink butterfly behind him, didn't care about this, the energy in his hand was condensed, and a split tile burst out instantly, and the heterochromatic circle bear was beaten with a counter-sneak attack, and was overhung by the impact of the move.

After two months, Zoroark's strength has improved a lot, but the heterochromatic circle bear is standing still.

The latter was a little stunned by this double restraint move, and lay on his back on all fours on the ground, struggling to turn over.

Xia Chen walked over and squatted down next to her without hurrying, and said mockingly: "Tsk, after so long, why haven't you made any progress at all?" ”

The heterochromatic circle bear stood up, and from her surprised eyes, she could see that she still remembered Xia Chen.

After a few breaths, the heterochromatic circle bear urn said in a loud voice: "Kuma. (It's you.)"

"It's me."

Xia Chen nodded and replied, "I heard that you are not honest, I came over to take a look, what do you want to do?" ”

The bear's eyes were stubborn, "Don't do anything, just don't enter this area." ”

Xia Chen shook his head, "Then what's the matter, you change every day, the circle you draw this time is much bigger than the last time you discussed, what if it gets bigger next time?" When the time comes, you will be the boss, will I be the boss? ”

The bear was silent, and Xia Chen was not in a hurry, and continued to chat with her about some of the haves and haves.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her face changed, and she ran wildly towards the depths of the trees.

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This guy is not stupid, he actually knows how to turn the tiger away from the mountain.

The idea was guessed, and he simply didn't pretend, and immediately let out the old Leton and straddled his back.

"So Leton, catch up with her!"

"yes, got it."

So Letton answered and chased after him.

Although the bear ran first, with the speed of Le Thorn, he easily caught up and overturned it.

The bear's bulky body dragged brake marks on the ground, and a shocking bloodstain could be faintly seen under the heavy fur.

However, she got up unconsciously, and continued to run in a certain direction, with a frightening look on her face.

Xia Chen frowned slightly, what kind of treasure can make her value it so much?

For the safety of the bear, he did not let the bears rush up again to force a stop, but followed her closely.

After a bear and a dragon have been playing fast and furious in the mountains for a while, a hidden cave suddenly appears in front of them.

At the mouth of the cave, Shanaiduo was holding a thin baby bear in his arms, frowning, and his eyes were full of distress and maternal love.

Seeing this scene, the heterochromatic circle bear completely went berserk, looking up to the sky and roaring angrily.

"Kuma! (Let go of my child!) ）”
