This is the southernmost town in the Galar region, connected to the Crown Snowfield to the south and the Weimei Forest to the west.
As the connecting point between two mysterious areas that are rumored to inhabit elves, Hualang Town is a quiet and peaceful town.
There are no gymnasiums and no big companies. The only thing worthy of praise is perhaps the fertile soil growing high-quality pasture and the braided sheep with top-quality wool raised in it.
By the way, another point that cannot be ignored is that this is the hometown of Mr. Dandi, the current champion of Galar and one of the strongest champions in history.
The weather in Hualang Town has become warm in early May. At least you can feel the heat clearly if you wear long sleeves.
The comfortable monsoon wind blowing in the pasture is like a mother's gentle hand caressing it. It's hard to imagine that a few dozen kilometers further south is the famous extreme cold zone in the Galar region, the Snowfield of the Crown.
It is almost the area with the highest mortality rate for traveling trainers in the world. The harsh weather, powerful elves, and many legends that may be rumored to inhabit it make up this famous Holy Land of Death.
Even so, countless trainers still flock to it every year, and naturally only a few of them die, while the most are those who wandered around the outside and then hurried away, and then used this experience as a source of conversation.
As for going deep into the snowy plains of the crown and still being able to escape unscathed?
Of course there is, but the ones who can do it are top trainers with great names, such as Cai Dou, the owner of the Suchuan Arena, Qibana, the owner of the Quanguan Arena, and of course Dandi.
It is said that the powerful ice-walking doll in the Dan Emperor team was conquered here.
Compared to the Snowfield of the Crown, the legend of Weimei Forest is much simpler. It is said that the sword hero and shield hero who saved Galar in the dark night live here.
To be precise, it is not a legend, because just over a year ago, countless people witnessed that the rumors were true——
The hero of Galar came just like that on the auspicious clouds, and with a shocking sword strike, he cut down the giant Wuji Tai Na.
What happened next, the hero went into hiding again, but left countless legends in the world, attracting countless trainers to come.
Naturally, I don't have any extravagant hopes of subduing Cang Xiang. It's not in vain if I can catch a glimpse of the legendary elf.
The bustling flow of people in the past year has almost turned Weimei Forest into a noisy forest.
However, no one got what they wanted.
The unique mist that permeated the Weimei Forest made all the trainers who came in turn out again in confusion. Even using a compass or borrowing the power of super elves were of no use.
Ever since a famous gym-level super trainer also returned without success, the number of people coming to Weimei Forest has begun to drop sharply.
Today, the place has returned to its original hazy and quiet appearance.
…………
After a spring that turns from warm to cold, April and May have always been the peak season for the production of braided wool.
Groups of round, braided sheep crowded together in the pasture of Hualang Town, like a continuous white and soft cloud.
Passing through the white clouds that made a continuous sound, Xia Chen could already see the Weimei Forest not far away.
That's right, the target of his trip to Galar was not Wujitana, but that big dog who loved to hold a sword.
Although Muju Taina is very powerful, Minastro Dragon Baruto and the others are all entrusted to Rayquaza, and since he doesn't have any poison-type spirits, Muju Taina can't be of much help.
Cang Xiang is different. Both Xianbu and Gardevoir are of the fairy type, so it would be most suitable for it to take care of them.
Although it doesn't look as powerful as Xerneas and Rayquaza, it is still the sword hero who killed Mojutuna, and it took Senbu and Gardevoir a long time to learn from it.
After passing the warning sign of "Slight sleep in the forest ahead, do not enter due to danger", Xia Chen's Guledun changed from flying mode to motorcycle mode and ran wildly into the dense fog-filled forest.
The scene of Weimei Forest seems to be completely isolated from the outside world. The trees are obviously not particularly dense and tall, but the sunlight just cannot shine in. The thick fog with some fairy energy makes the visibility here no more than five meters.
Of course, the fog that had caused countless trainers to bend their backs could not trap Gulton. Its speed did not slow down at all, and it went straight through the obstacles in the woods. It was as strong as the cool leopard that had lived here since childhood.
The actual area of Weimei Forest is not very large. In less than ten minutes, Xia Chen saw the two conspicuous statues of Cang Xiang and Zangran Mat in the distance among the rapidly changing scenery.
After the previous search experience, Xia Chen knew that this was the habitat of two legendary elves.
The first time he came here, he didn't have the nerve to shout directly. This time, he stood between the two statues and shouted.
"Sister Cang, Brother Zang, wake up quickly, the world will be destroyed if you don't come out!"
The loud voice echoed in the quiet and empty forest, so Leden retreated far away with a shameful expression of "I don't know this guy", for fear that others would know that they were familiar with each other.
That means it doesn't have the habit of picking its toes when it's embarrassed, otherwise there would be a giant pit here that could become an artificial lake.
Xia Chen himself didn't feel ashamed, why did he call them brother and sister? Considering the legendary life span of elves, he still took advantage of calling them so.
Moreover, this reason is not alarmist. With the existence of dark matter, it means that the end of the world is coming soon.
As for why Xia Chen didn't tell Rayquaza about the existence of dark matter, but used this information to lure Cang Xiang out, it was not because of double standards, but because he felt that his friendship with Cang Xiang was not that deep.
Moreover, it can be seen from the last Dark Night World that Cang Xiang and Zangran Mat are two legendary elves with a sense of responsibility, and this is the only reason to impress them.
…………
I don’t know if the siblings Cangxiang Zangranmat didn’t hear it or didn’t want to come out. The only thing that responded to Xia Chen’s call was the breeze blowing through the woods.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xia Chen is not discouraged. If there is no response after one try, then try it twice. If two times doesn’t work, then try three times. If three times doesn’t work...
He decisively chose to camp and live here.
"From today on, we are neighbors, please take good care of us."
Xia Chen smiled and said hello to the air, and then took out the high-tech tent given to him by Xionila.
Ever since he got this tent specially designed for the Ultimate Investigation Team's out-of-city investigations, the Fradari tent that had been with him for two and a half years officially announced its retirement.
The new tent completely surpasses the old tent in terms of size, cold protection, functions and many other aspects. It is as comfortable as a luxury hotel and even has a small kitchen.
After setting up the tent and releasing the elves, Xia Chen assigned them the task of collecting fungi and tree fruits nearby, while he took out the ingredients from the storage ball to prepare meals.
Gu Leton was dumbfounded and asked blankly: "Do you really want to live here?"
Xia Chen said matter-of-factly: "Otherwise, it's just training here anyway."
Therefore, Leden thought for a while, but finally said nothing.
I don't know if this is the habitat of Cang Xiang, but the fungi and tree fruits collected by Senbu and others are more fresh and sweet than those from outside.
Coupled with the quiet environment and hazy and beautiful scenery, Xia Chen really took the elves to live here.
My daily life consists of meditating, training, and resting. When I feel bored, I repeat the shouts of that day to harass Cang Xiang. When I run out of supplies, I go to Hualang Town outside to buy them. I have no intention of leaving at all.
If he was a bit angry with Cang Xiang at the beginning, then after living there for a few days, Xia Chen really fell in love with such a leisurely life.
In the past few years, he has grown up too fast and has experienced too much. He has met no less than ten legendary elves and destroyed four or five dark organizations.
Even if he returned to Yuanling Island intermittently, he still had to deal with the affairs of the gym and the company. It had been too long since he had a truly peaceful rest.
In this place where he would never be disturbed by anyone and was shrouded in mist like a fairyland, he found his inner peace, and so did the elves.
Without the noisy Doronbaruto, the temperament of the entire team seemed to have calmed down.
Or maybe they have been influenced by Xia Chen all the time, and what they want most is to live leisurely by his side.
There was no sun or moon in the mountains, and before he knew it, Xia Chen had been living in the Weimei Forest for a whole month. In the idyllic life of seclusion, he relieved the pressure he had accumulated.
Even if he didn't think about it deliberately, he almost forgot about the threat of dark matter and the disaster in the ultimate world.
…………
The turning point occurred on an ordinary morning with nothing special about it.
When Xia Chen came out of the tent holding the fairy cloth, he suddenly discovered that the Cangxiang stone sculpture facing the "doorway of his home" had been painted overnight.
"Stone Sculpture" turned his head and glanced at Xia Chen, his calm eyes showing awe-inspiring majesty.
Xia Chen shook his head and muttered to himself: "Damn it, I got up so hard, I saw Zhen Cang making a sound..."
He lowered his head to look at the fairy cloth in his arms and asked doubtfully: "Am I still awake?"
Xianbu rolled his eyes, opened his mouth and touched Xia Chen's arm. He didn't use any force, but the sharp little tiger teeth still stimulated the sleepy Xia Chen directly and woke him up with pain.
"What are you doing!"
Xia Chen's sharp voice sounded like some kind of chicken crow.
Senbu did not answer his trainer's childish question. He jumped out of his arms and walked slowly to Cang Xiang.
He bowed his head and apologized: "Bu Yi - (Dear Lord Cang Xiang, I'm sorry to disturb your peaceful life. I apologize to you for the reckless behavior of my ineffective trainer.)"
Xia Chen, who was behind him, let out a soft chuckle, thinking to himself, why am I harassing Cang Xiang so shamelessly just because of your worthless immortal cloth?
It's just that it's not easy to fight in front of Cang Xiang right now, so he decided to wait until Cang Xiang left before slapping Senbu hard on the butt!
Over there, one dog and one cloth have also begun to communicate.
Cang Xiang lowered his head and stared at Xianbu, which was at least two orders of magnitude smaller than it, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, no matter how long you live here, it has nothing to do with me, and I can't say I'm bothering you."
Xianbu had some doubts in her heart. She thought that Cang Xiang's willingness to come out at least meant that it had a desire to communicate. Why did it say such words about cutting off the relationship as soon as it came up?
Are you trying to persuade Xia Chen not to do useless work and go home?
It’s so hard to guess what the mythical beast is thinking...
Xianbu thought for a while, decided to put aside his thoughts, and communicated frankly with Cang Xiang, "Bu Yi - (Lord Cang Xiang, the purpose of our coming here is related to an evil and terrifying existence.)"
Cang Xiang's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not heard Xianbu's words.
In fact, this is what it thinks in its heart. It has just been more than a year since the Dark Night Disaster, and Wuji Tai's recent performance is also very ordinary.
The end of the world, evil and horror are just their scaremongering.
However, since Xia Chen performed well in the last dark night, Cang Xiang decided to give them a chance to explain.
Seeing that Cang Xiang didn't respond, Senbu roughly understood its thoughts and continued: "This matter must start with the ultimate cave discovered in Alola..."
…………
It is really not a simple and easy task to explain the ultimate world and dark matter clearly.
It took Xianbu nearly half an hour to introduce it without Cang Xiang interrupting the entire process. She even doubted whether Cang Xiang could digest all the information in one go.
Legend has it that the wisdom of elves is obviously much higher than that of ordinary elves and humans. Looking at Cang Xiang's thoughtful eyes, you can tell that it understands everything.
Of course, there is a small chance that he is pretending to understand when he doesn't understand, but with Cang Xiang's character, that shouldn't be necessary.
Xia Chen was worried that Cang Xiang thought they were making things up, so he specifically called Rotom on his cell phone to play the video data he shot in the Ultimate World.
Cang Xiang didn't refuse, but looked at it seriously.
The infinite length of life also means loneliness and boredom. Cang Xiang is not sure whether the dark matter is as terrifying as Xianbu described, but it is indeed deeply attracted by this mysterious and unknown world.
"The ultimate alien beast...dark matter..."
Cang Xiang murmured softly and looked away, falling into reverie.
Xia Chen didn't bother him and left Xianbu here to accompany him. He walked to the portable kitchen next to the tent and made breakfast.
Without the three big eaters, Menas, Duolong and Nianmeilong, Xia Chen's daily cooking pressure has been reduced a lot.
Unexpectedly, after he finished making breakfast, other elves got up one after another, and Cang Xiang was still standing there quietly, his posture unchanged, like a sculpture.
Xia Chen didn't say anything. After having more contact with the legendary elves, he knew that for these immortal species, time is the least important thing.
Let alone an hour, even if it stands still here for a day or a year, to Cang Xiang, it is no different from a human moment.
After placing the extra breakfast before and after Cang Xiang, Xia Chen went back to eat with the elves.
As for whether Cang Xiang eats it or not, it's up to him, and whether he prepares it or not is his own etiquette.
Fortunately, Cang Xiang didn't think about it all day like Xia Chen thought. When it was approaching noon, it came back to its senses.
It did not disturb Xia Chen, who was watching the team training match between Xianbu and Sai Fuhao, but walked up to him and watched together.
Until Xianbu used the power of the earth to create countless sharp energy spears and forced them to stop in front of Sai Fuhao who raised his hands in surrender, Cang Xiang suddenly condensed a wave of energy and enveloped the two seriously injured elves.
This unknown move quickly healed the wounds of Xianbu and Sai Fuhao. Xia Chen, who was watching this scene, was secretly happy.
This arrogant big dog finally showed his kindness.
