The pitch-black night is often the time when trainers traveling in the wild need to be most vigilant, let alone the psychedelic forest where sunshine is rarely seen during the day.
If you really encounter danger at this time, or accidentally set foot on the territory of a bad-tempered elf, how could you be the opponent of an elf who knows the surrounding environment well?
Even the powerful Karuni doesn't want to cause trouble for herself because of this kind of thing.
Looking at the darkening sky above her head, she shouted loudly: "Wrestling Eagle, find a place and prepare to rest!"
"Howl!"
From above the dense forest that blocked out the sun, the voice of the wrestling eagle man came to answer.
At the same time, Kaluni also asked the ice and snow dragon to stop and wait for the reconnaissance of the wrestling hawk.
Half a minute later, a vigorous figure fell from the tree, and the masked wrestling eagle man landed gracefully in a handsome posture.
But he didn't have time to act cool now. The arm bonded with the wings pointed far ahead, "Howl!"
Karuni, who was connected to her own elf, immediately understood what the wrestling eagle meant. She frowned and asked: "You mean, there are traces of people ahead? Is it a poacher or a traveler?"
If it's the latter, it's easy to say, but if it's a poacher...
Although with Karuni's strength, there are almost no poachers in the world who can surpass her.
But this is a wilderness with no rules, and the opponents are a group of cunning villains who may behave in an American style if they disagree. No matter how you think about it, meeting such people is not a good thing after all.
The Wrestling Eagle shook his head, denying his trainer's worst guess.
However, Kaluni did not take it lightly because of this. The bad guys couldn't write on their faces, so it was safer to confirm this kind of thing in person.
After thinking for a moment, she took out an elf ball and summoned the elf in it, the Pumpkin Monster.
Ghost-type elves are easy to hide and are deadly weapons in wild battles.
After getting ready, Kaluni said seriously: "Let's go, let's go meet him."
…………
Night has not yet completely fallen, but this temporary camp site is already lit by bonfires.
Scattered orange fires burst out among the firewood, adding a warm and reassuring atmosphere to this cold forest night.
Smelling the alluring aroma that penetrated the tip of his nose from the pot above the campfire, the owl regretted his feast on the energy cube just now.
It thought that the energy cube was already the most delicious thing in the world, so what was this aroma? It could be so tempting!
It's a pity that my belly has been enlarged by the energy cube, and I can't even find a reason to eat.
The owl secretly sighed.
Forget it, I am a security guard, protecting the safety of everyone.
The owl who paid a penny to do a job thought so, and dutifully opened his eyes and raised his ears to observe what was going on around him.
Although it has been living in this area since its birth, it knows that there are no elves walking around outside at night without sleeping.
Really, how can humans be less courageous than me? How could there be a ghost in such a quiet and peaceful forest...
The owl complained in his heart, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a terrifying face with a dim orange light among the dim trees and jungle, smiling at him with a captivating smile.
"Gu——"
The nighthawk sent the alarm to sound instantly, and a hysterical and frightening sound echoed through the forest.
…
"Huh...it turns out to be Miss Kaluni. I thought it was another elf poaching group..."
Beside the bonfire that exuded warmth and light, Xia Chen, who had just released his alert state, breathed a long sigh of relief and said to the big star sitting next to him.
Kaluni also didn't expect that the first person she met in this vast and cold forest would be a boy she had met a few months ago.
This wonderful fate also made the corners of her mouth raise unconsciously, and she replied with a smile: "I thought you were a poacher, but luckily you weren't... Wait, why did you just say that again, you met someone before?"
Have you arrived?"
Xia Chen said helplessly: "It happened once, but it was in the forest on the other side of Route 16."
Kaluni frowned and said, "What a bad experience. What happened next? How did you escape the pursuit of those thugs?"
Xia Chen touched his chin, bad?
Um...
It seemed really bad for the three brothers. One died tragically on the spot and the other two were imprisoned.
"Uh... I'll subdue them all and wait for the rangers to come."
Kaluni nodded suddenly, "It turned out to be the ranger...wait, you said you subdued them all?"
Karuni probably knew Xia Chen's strength, a new trainer who had just debuted for a year.
An Eevee, a Lalulas, and a Menas that looked like a handler subdued a vicious elf poaching group in the wild?
This is a bit sci-fi...
In other words, Xia Chen himself is actually a powerful humanoid fighting elf?
Kaluni looked at Xia Chen suspiciously, but no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like him...
Therefore, it should still be the credit of those elves.
Kaluni looked at the elves beside Xia Chen, but found something she had not noticed before.
What is this snow-white, pink and tender elf nesting on the ground next to Xia Chen?
Kaluni, the future Carlos champion and big star who has been isolated from the world for more than a month, was completely shocked.
…………
"So Miss Karuni has had no contact with the outside world for more than a month."
No wonder it feels like living on Mars...
Xia Chen didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Kaluni could understand the meaning.
After reluctantly moving her eyes away from Xianbu, she explained: "The phone has long been out of battery, and there is no signal most of the time in the mountainous area, so I have ignored it. I didn't expect so many things to happen during this period."
This big thing is all related to you..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xia Chen admired: "I didn't expect that Miss Kaluni, who has been in Vanity Fair, can endure being disconnected from the outside world for more than a month. It seems that you really love Elf Battle.
ah."
Karuni smiled and said, "You are too early to say that. I am now preparing to go to Yingxue City to end this trip."
She turned to ask: "What about you? Why did you come to the Psychedelic Forest? Want to meet your next elf?"
Encountering more elves and conquering partners who are compatible with you in the vast sea of elves is also an important reason for trainers to embark on a journey.
Xia Chen replied: "It's to conquer the elves, but not for myself."
Then, he briefly explained to Karuni the task assigned to him by Dr. Bratano.
"Is there any possible negative impact of Xerneas' awakening..."
Kaluni pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "When you said that, I really recalled some unreasonable things I saw along the way... Do you mind if I go with you? I also have this conjecture about the doctor.
very curious."
Karuni wants to be together?
Xia Chen was slightly surprised, and then he was relieved when he thought that Kaluni was the more reliable one among the champions in the same period.
Compared to the noble gentleman who is either digging rocks or on the way to dig rocks, and the mythology scholar who spends his days hanging out with historical relics.
Although she hasn't become a champion yet, Karuni's sense of belonging and responsibility to the region is really high... Presumably she will be able to get along well with Dandi, who is responsible for revitalizing her hometown.
And no matter how you look at it, in the psychedelic forest where there are no dangers yet, having a trainer who is close to the king level is not a bad thing.
After recovering his thoughts, Xia Chen smiled slightly and said, "Then please take care of me during the next period of time."
——————
To the east of the Psychedelic Forest is a high mountain covered with snow all year round.
Located on the north side of Yingxue City, with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, the Kava Snow Mountain is the highest peak in the Albi Mountains that stretches for thousands of miles and is the highest peak in the entire Carlos region.
No matter which world it is in, the snow-capped mountains that stand proudly in the sky have always been a place that explorers and trainers want to conquer, let alone the famous Kawa Snow Mountain.
On the mountainside of the majestic and magnificent snow-capped mountains, an elf with white hair and a crescent moon-like dark blue horn on its head was quietly prostrate in the snow, seeming to be feeling something.
The cold wind mixed with biting ice and snow blew by, and the oblique bangs on one side of Absolu's head were lifted, revealing her solemn face.
The snow-capped mountains stood quietly beneath her, as if they were so solemn and holy that they would never change, but she was vaguely aware of something.
Absol is a kind of elf with special abilities. They can keenly sense changes in the sky and the earth, and therefore also have the ability to predict disasters.
The older you get, the more sensitive you are to disasters.
This Absol is close to a hundred years old and has long passed the peak of her physical functions, but her ability to perceive the earth has become stronger with the passage of time.
On several occasions, she was able to sense an approaching small avalanche and rescued travelers who came to challenge Kawa Snow Mountain.
But this time, she hesitated despite sensing the unusual rhythm coming from the underground.
Because this rhythmic sound is really too unusual.
It was so unusual...the disaster it caused was so great that it was beyond my estimation.
Absol didn't know whether he should believe his incredible judgment, but for things like disasters, it was better to believe that they existed than not to believe that they didn't exist.
She looked at the psychedelic forest at the foot of the mountain, and the city in the other direction that was so small that it was almost invisible, but where millions of humans and elves lived.
If that disaster really happens, these elves and people...
Not daring to think anymore, Absol stood up and looked into the distance with a stern gaze.
The Kava Snow Mountain at the foot, the Psychedelic Forest and Yingxue City at the foot of the mountain, there were so many places that needed warning, and she didn't know if it would be too late at her own speed.
Feeling his aging body, Absol took a deep breath.
Hope it's not too late...
With his hoofs treading lightly, Absolu, who was all white, jumped up and down several times, disappearing into the vast white snow like the wind.
…………
"Gu Gu Gu——"
The early morning sunshine poured into the gaps between the trees, and the nighthawk that had stayed up all night made a sound that was either a yawn or a croak, or maybe both.
Although there was a pumpkin monster at the vigil last night after Kaluni came, the owl who had a beginning and an end still persisted until the end.
After all... Xia Chen still has the final payment to make.
As a high-quality client, the first thing Xia Chen did after waking up was to throw the three boxes of energy cubes to the owl.
He also carefully tied them up with rope and tied them into a knot so that the owl could carry them easily.
"Gu~"
After receiving the fruits of a night's work, the nighthawk waved its wings towards Xia Chen happily, then grabbed the reward and flew away.
Xia Chen stretched and started to prepare breakfast.
Because of Karuni's participation, there will be a lot of breakfast to make today.
Ice giant dragon, strange jaw dragon, slimy dragon... these guys look very edible.
Hey, don't you know, after a quick calculation, it seems that Karuna can barely be regarded as a "Dragon Controller"?
At least, the number of two dragon-type elves should be no less than a certain dragon-type champion, right?
Gyarados, fossilized pterosaurs, fire-breathing dragons, and big steel snakes... what are these?
"Good morning, Xia Chen...well, it smells very good."
I was secretly arranging a champion who was not worthy of the name, and Karuni's voice came from behind me.
Looking back, 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 eyes were hazy and her steps were sloppy, as if she had not yet recovered from her sleep.
It's normal. Whether she is a future champion or a big star, no matter what her status is, she is first and foremost a normal person.

"Hmm...you are traveling in the wild, and your breakfast is freshly cooked, right?"
Kaluni followed the scent and came to Xia Chen with a look of wonder on her face.
Xia Chen asked naturally: "Otherwise? Let the elves eat energy cubes and cans?"
Karuni blushed a little, then coughed twice and changed the subject, "How far are we from where Xerneas wakes up?"
Xia Chen shook his head, then pointed at Xianbu, who was taking La Lulas and Soraya for a morning run in the snow, and said, "I don't know, Xianbu has always led the way."
Karuni was surprised, "Xianbu is leading the way, do you trust her so much?"
She had always thought that this little-known road map was provided by Dr. Bratano.
Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Sometimes I trust her judgment more than I trust myself."
Kaluni took a deep look at the cute and outrageous elf on the snow, and then shrugged towards Xia Chen.
"Okay, guests do as they please. You will lead the way for this operation. Even if we can't find him, we'll just have to travel for a while longer."
Xia Chen nodded and responded simply. His attention was focused on the pot in his hand.
With a graceful tilt of the spoon, a dozen fried eggs from the oversized pan fell smoothly onto the plate next to them.
A simple and nutritious fried happy egg is freshly baked.
The extremely beautiful and controlled movements made Karuni's eyes light up. With such professional movements, this young man's cooking skills are amazing!
But Xia Chen's next words made her eyes darken.
"Miss Karuni, do you want your moo milk to be served at room temperature or hot?"
Karuni had a question mark on her face, her shock level seemed to be no less than when she saw Senbu for the first time yesterday, "Can you drink milk after it's been heated?"
Xia Chen's eyes flashed, as if something had been provoked.
He accepted the sudden battle and retorted: "It's such a cold day, how can you drink milk without heating it?"
"Please, please have some common sense. Heating will cause protein to deteriorate and nutrients to be lost!"
"Huh? You are the one who has no common sense, right? As long as the temperature is controlled below 60 degrees, heated milk will not only allow the body to absorb it better, but also improve muscle strength!"
"...What kind of pseudoscience are you talking about?"
