The inspection of the lake island lasted a whole day.
Xia Chen was like a child who got a new toy, observing and considering every detail on the island with the strongest interest.
You must really like this poetic field of Gragia flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains...
This wetland with moist and fresh air must also be favored by Nian Meier...
This quiet and translucent pool water is perfect for Menas...
And isn’t the hilly land located in the middle of these beautiful places the perfect place for a new home?
Xia Chen looked at the lush shrubland and felt extremely satisfied.
The gene for pioneering and farming buried deep in his bones broke out, and his mind was filled with fantasies.
Imagining Senbu, Gardevoir, Menas... and even more of his elves in the future living freely, happily and unrestrainedly on the island, he wanted to immediately change the scene in front of him into what he wanted.
However, no matter how urgent it is, we have to be patient. The land reclamation and construction from scratch is destined to be a long-term and large-scale project.
With the preliminary plan for future construction firmly in his mind, Xia Chen stopped fantasizing and started preparing to camp.
He was not worried that the trap bears would not be able to find him. His keen insight allowed him to notice that a cuckoo pigeon was following him from a distance all the way.
It was probably an spy placed by the aboriginal people of Quanquan Island, so Xia Chen pretended not to see it and let it go.
For land reclamation and construction, communication and negotiation with the indigenous people is the first step.
It is useless to negotiate land sales contracts in human society with wild elves. If you want to win their respect and recognition, showing off your muscles is a necessary condition.
Human beings all know that "big fists are the last word", and this is especially true in the elven world where the law of the jungle is more applicable.
As for appeasing, recruiting, recruiting, etc., we have to wait until they recognize their own strength.
…………
There is no moon tonight.
The night is shrouded, and the Yunze Lake under the stars is like a huge hazy veil.
The Circle Island is the most dazzling gem on the beautiful tulle.
Xia Chen was very lucky. There was a dreamy sea of fireflies next to the camping spot he chose.
At dusk, Xia Chen discovered them in the flower field and grass, the electric fireflies and the sweet fireflies.
Groups of electric fireflies flew regularly in the dark night, and the bright lights at their tails drew geometric shapes in the air that conveyed some special meaning.
The sweet fireflies on the other side also flew and responded with bright lights.
Then, the two groups of elves intertwined and gathered together, and began... a collective mating activity.
Xia Chen, who just wanted to simply appreciate the natural beauty, didn't want to know this. However, the power of the waveguide was not under his control. Words that should be heard and words that shouldn't be heard were passed into his ears without filtering.
"Tsk, it's so open..."
Xia Chen, who was cooking dinner for the elves, commented like this.
Suddenly thinking of something, he turned to look at Gulton, who was playing with Doron Mexia, and asked: "By the way, how do elves reproduce in your legend?"
In the game, most legendary elves cannot be reproduced by hatching eggs, and many legendary elves are not unique, such as the three holy birds.
If they have a group but cannot reproduce through hatching eggs, which is common among elves, then how do they reproduce?
Especially a genderless elf like Guluton.
Xia Chen wanted to have an academic discussion with Gu Lerton very seriously, but the latter acted as if he didn't want to tell him and only answered with something like coaxing a child.
"Picked from the trash can."
No, even today’s children don’t believe this.
Xia Chen felt that Gu Lerton might have something to hide, so he shrugged and stopped asking.
…………
The harsh conditions in the wild cannot limit Xia Chen's superb cooking skills.
In front of the eucalyptus table in the fully automatic portable kitchen, Xia Chen moved the knife quickly and quickly chopped green peppers, ginger cubes, and green onions into shreds for later use.
Beside, Gardevoir was simmering a casserole on the stove with a weak magic flame. The sound of gurgling was accompanied by the rich aroma, which actually attracted many electric fireflies and sweet fireflies who were having a party to stop their lovemaking.
, followed the scent and flew over.
Xia Chen was not a stingy person. He opened the lid of the pot and put a small bowl of braised beef brisket with soft rotten tomatoes into the bowl. He distributed it to these future neighbors.
The electric fireflies used fireflies to draw a strange pattern in the air, as if to express their gratitude, and then swarmed up like moths to a flame.
A bowl full of tomato beef brisket, enough to feed a small to medium-sized elf, was completely destroyed in an instant.
Wild elves are not simple. Seeing that Xia Chen had no intention of serving them another bowl, the electric fireflies immediately patted their butts and flew back to the flower field to continue their great cause of reproduction.
Only one sweet firefly who was not trapped by lust remained, curiously looking at the elves playing around in the camp, seemingly full of interest in this group of uninvited guests.
Saifuhao is an enthusiastic guy who is very keen on making new friends.
Under the offensive of its sunny and cheerful smile, Tian Tianying started chatting with the elf from outside the archipelago for the first time.
"Where are you from?"
The first of the three philosophical questions - Which province are you from?
This question is very philosophical. Doronqi is from Dragon Island, Sai Fuhao's hometown is Padea, Zoroark is from Carlos... everyone comes from different places.
If you have to dig deeper, the best answer seems to be "born by my mother."
However, the elves were not smart enough and did not expect this answer that hit the depths of their souls. They just replied: "Zhijiang, we come from Zhijiang to the east of Yunze Lake."
This principle is similar to [Marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog]. If the trainer is from Zhijiang, they will naturally be from Zhijiang as well.
"oh--"
Tiantianying said a long "Oh" and then said: "I haven't heard of it..."
Although they are elves with extraordinary power, they also have cognitive limitations due to factors such as time and geography.
From this perspective, it is not without reason that human beings who allocate their points on the technological side can become the masters of this world.
…………
Although she knew nothing about the river these senbu were talking about, Tian Tianying still kindly reminded her new friends she had just made.
"You'd better leave early tomorrow morning. The trap bears here don't like humans very much."
Duolongqi nodded in agreement. He was the only elf who participated in the conflict during the day and was deeply touched by this.
Xianbu asked: "Then do you know the reason?"
Being indifferent to humans and hating humans are two different things. Something must have happened to cause this change.
Tian Tianying looked around carefully, as if she was worried that the wall had ears. After finding nothing unusual, she moved closer to Senbu and whispered: "I also heard from others that the leader of the circle bears here seems to have been tamed by humans before!
"
"Then it was abandoned and then it ended up here?"
Gardevoir subconsciously added.
It has been subdued and is now a wild elf. Except for the extreme case of the death of the trainer, the only normal reason is "abandoned".
】
Tiantianying shook her head, "Then I don't know."
There was a distant call from the flower field. It seemed that her companion was asking her to come back and continue attending the party. Tiantianying responded and prepared to fly back.
Before leaving, it emphasized: "Don't say it's me who said it. They don't like this matter being mentioned very much, and their leader is so powerful! He stomps his feet and the whole island shakes, but you still
Let’s leave early.”
Watching Tian Tianying return to the flower field, Senbu Senbu was thoughtful.
She wasn't too worried about what Tian Tianying said about the powerful leader of the Circle Bear.
As for the story of the pony crossing the river, the water flow may be a natural chasm for the squirrel, but it may be just a stream for the buffalo.
Xianbu thinks that he is not a buffalo, but there is a buffalo in the team... no, it should be said that it is a real dragon that soars into the clouds and rides on the mist.
Anyway, she is not worried about an all-out war.
…………
On the first night on Circle Island, Xia Chen and the elves spent time next to the dreamy Firefly Forest.
The two ghosts Saifuhao and Duolongqi take turns keeping vigil at night, so even those who are afraid of ghosts can feel at ease.
A night of silence.
The next morning.
Perhaps because he fell asleep on his own island, Xia Chen, who is more comfortable with sleeping, had a very high quality of sleep last night.
What surprised him was that throughout the night, no native elves on the island came to cause trouble, not even the kind of harassment that was just for the sake of disgusting people. It can be said that it was quite a martial virtue.
On the other hand, maybe the leader of the circle bear is confident in his own strength.
Ignoring this, because he had no intention of taking the initiative, Xia Chen continued to take the elves around the island in the morning.
Appreciating flowers, looking at the scenery, and chatting with the wild elves on the island, everything seems to be quite enjoyable as long as you are on this island.
He took many beautiful scenery photos and sent them to Sirona and Mingyi, and the two responded differently.
"Is this where you want to build your gym?"
"It's so beautiful. You must be very happy to live here~"
By coincidence, Xia Chen could even reply to them both using the same template.
"You guessed it right! Then I'm going to build a new home/gym here."
"Ding Dong~"
The two messages sent were replied to almost instantly.
"Very good. If you need any help, let me know."
"Congratulations! Your dream has come true! I will try my best to catch up with you! [Teng Teng Snake cheers up]"
Xia Chen smiled knowingly.
Dual-line operation chatted with the two for a while, so Luton suddenly reminded: "They are coming."
Needless to say, we know who "they" Gu Luerton is talking about, they must be those group of circle bears.
Xia Chen released the power of the waveguide and sensed that directly ahead, several circle bears were walking towards here with a group of elves, and there were no more in other directions.
Yes, at least these circle bears are more upright and won't play dirty tricks.
Xia Chen admired the character of these future neighbors very much and decided to be gentler in his actions.
…………
Not long after, the figures of Circle Bear and other elves appeared from the horizon.
The ringed bear with green hair at the head is quite conspicuous.
I can't say it's ugly, but it can still be considered... quite special.
Undoubtedly, if it had not dyed its hair, it would be a noble elf of different colors, just like Gardevoir.
Judging from its position in the elf formation, it seems to be the leader.
So last night Senbu talked about the circle bear that was once tamed by humans and then abandoned. Is this it?
In such a wealthy family, the strange-colored elves can be thrown away at will...
While thinking, the army of elves headed by Circle Bear had already arrived in front of Xia Chen.
The two armies faced each other, and the leading bear with a green circle on its head stepped forward.
"Kuma? (I heard that you want to be the boss of this island?)"
Judging from its ferocious and domineering expression, it was as if Xia Chen would swing his fist as big as a casserole the next second if he said yes.
Xia Chen did not rush to respond to it, but first detected the strength of this group of elves.
Xia Chen was shocked. Are all the elves on this island so strong?
Generally speaking, the strength of uncultivated wild elves is mostly between the novice level and the amateur level. The senior level is already rare, and the elite level is even rarer.
On this small island...why are all the elite wild elves like cabbage?
Even if they are all elite soldiers pulled over by the Circle Bear to help out, this is a little abnormal, right?
The leader, the heterochromatic ringed bear, is even more astonishing. Judging from the sense of breath, its strength is no less than that of Menas, the strongest player in the team besides Guluton.
That is, a proper gym-level elf.
Would anyone abandon a gym-level Pokémon?
Absolutely impossible.
Trainers below the gym level are reluctant to give up, but trainers above the gym level have no reason.
Therefore, this circle bear definitely only grew to such strength after being abandoned, or after coming to this island.
After a thorough analysis, Xia Chen came to a conclusion - there should be some secrets hidden on this island.
…………
"Kuma! (Are you scared, you weakling? If you don't dare to fight, get out early, you are not welcome here!)"
Xia Chen's thoughts made the heterosexual circle bear think that he was timid and continued to be arrogant and provocative.
The younger brothers behind it also roared and cheered, waving flags and cheering for the green big brother.
Xia Chen retracted his thoughts and decided to settle the troublesome matter in front of him first. Anyway, the island is here and won't escape. It doesn't matter if we investigate later.
He looked up at the ferocious circle bear in front of him and asked seriously: "You are the strongest of all the elves on this island. If you lose, does it mean that I will become the new boss here?"
Circle Bear roared: "Kuma! (Yes, this is something recognized by all the elves here. Whoever wins is the boss, it's that simple!)"
The rules of the elves' world are very straightforward. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. That's it, so Circle Bear agreed happily.
However, it then showed a ferocious and cruel smile, "Kuma——(If you lose, I hope I will never see you again!)"
In other words, if Xia Chen loses, he will leave the island and never come back. Of course, the money he spent to buy the island will be wasted.
It was a very fair and reciprocal bet, so Xia Chen agreed.
“It’s a deal!”
Xia Chen turned his head and looked around at the elf behind him, "Sai Fuhao, I leave it to you."
He didn't think about sending out Gullton just to win steadily.
For a mere gym-level wild trap bear to be defeated by Guluton cannot be said to be a sign of distrust, it is simply a disrespect for his own spirit.
If it really happened, Xia Chen could only say that his skills were inferior to those of others... No, his skills were not as good as those of Xiong.
As for that money, it can only be regarded as wasted.
Saifuhao was very excited when his name was called. Xia Chen could choose it among so many elves with only two words, trust!
If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman!
Sai Fuhao immediately issued a military order, "Hey! (If you don't win, I will buy you ten more islands!)"
Counting all the elves in Xia Chen's team, Sai Fuhao is the only one who has the confidence to make such bold words.
…………
The heterochromatic ringed bear squinted slightly as it looked at Sai Fuhao, sensing the strong ghostly aura on his body, and it probably had an idea in its mind.
It seems that this human being felt that the ghost-type elves were easy to beat him, so he chose to send this golden guy to fight.
Although Circle Bear looks reckless, he is very thoughtful.
The most important reason why it has the confidence to propose a bet is that it feels that it cannot lose.
After all, after spending some time in human society, Circle Bear knew that it would be quite extraordinary for a boy of Xia Chen's age to have an elite-level elf under his command.
Although I have never seen the elf in front of me, I can tell from the energy aura that it is most likely of the steel plus ghost type.
Do you think I can’t hit the normal and fighting-type moves I’m good at?
Circle Bear snorted in his heart.
Today I will let you see what the power of the earth is!
"Roar!"
The circle bear roared with great momentum.
The elves who were following them all retreated tens of meters away, fearing that they would be affected by the aftermath of the battle.
At this moment, the roar of the circle bear replaced the referee's whistle. A battle with no referee and only a group of wild elves in the audience officially began.
Snapped!
The moment the battle began, Circle Bear's two thick forepaws immediately clasped their hands on the ground, and the rich earth-yellow energy gathered in an instant and swirled around.
A terrifying aura spread from the four palms of the circle bear to the surroundings. The first target of the attack was Sai Fuhao, who was only ten meters away from him.
Rocks cracked and the earth trembled.
earthquake!
Xia Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
I immediately judged Sai Fuhao's attributes and used the corresponding restraint moves. This ring bear is very thin, which should be related to the fact that it has been subdued by the trainer.
Even so, he has nothing to worry about. Sai Fuhao's foundation is very solid. Even if there is an earthquake that is not of his own type, even if he doesn't have to defend and resist, it will be no problem to forcefully eat it.
"Sai Fuhao, don't worry, attack him!"
In this kind of competition that determines the status of the boss of the island, no matter what tricks and tactics are used, Xia Chen has to defeat the circle bear in a head-on confrontation where it is most proud of!
Sai Fuhao understands his trainer's intention, so he has no intention of avoiding the earthquake, but directly concentrates the steel energy.
In an instant, a bright golden light shone in front of it, and the energy immediately condensed into a series of gold coins, which continued to spurt forward.
Gold rush!
One has double restraint, and the other has the bonus of this system. The two elves are facing each other, and they invariably use the moves that can cause the most damage to the other.
The earth collapsed and mountains were destroyed, and gold coins surged.
Although it started later, the gold rush hit the circle bear almost at the same time as the seismic energy wave that gradually spread to the feet of Saifuhao.
Looking at the deep cracks on the ground that were three fingers wide and caused by the earthquake, Xia Chen frowned slightly.
The damage caused by the earthquake was somewhat beyond his expectation. This was a level that even a specialist could not achieve. Some people believed that it was a move of the Circle Bear type.
At the same time, the voice that Guluton conveyed to his heart made him even more startled.
"Xia Chen, the energy of this earthquake is somewhat special... I smell the breath of legend from it."
