Legend of the Elven Investigator

Chapter 41 The Shadow of the Beast



On the fifth day after entering the EMI Forest, the two went round and round, and finally arrived at the center of the EMI Forest.Thanks to the super assisting ability of the Lucky Egg, with the help of its healing bell and egg-laying skills, he crossed half of the Emoji Forest without any risk.

Compared with laying eggs, Shinpei was even more surprised by the trick of healing the ringtone.Wild lucky eggs cannot acquire this skill through training, only through genetic acquisition by both parents.

In other words, this auspicious egg may be the result of the cross-race combination of different elves.

In addition to the flying mantis group encountered that day, Zhenping encountered the Dajia group, the Heracross group, the Big Eater group, and the Mukhawk group successively in the following journey, but under the protection of the gradually growing Haoli and Ghost Stone, he also survived the difficulties without any risk.

One of the most difficult battles was against the Hercules Clan, an extremely warlike alien Heracross with an extremely rare dream-like trait.

The madness of the battle maniac is even better than that of Haoli. When he was exhausted in the process of fighting with Haoli, he directly knocked down two of his own kind. After the excess of self-nature was activated twice, the soaring Heracross defeated Haoli in an instant. The two managed to escape only by relying on the insect repellent spray that would make the insect elves extremely disgusted.

Thanks to these high-intensity combat experiences, the growth rate of Hao Li and Ghost Stone has been greatly increased, especially Ghost Stone, whose state of emptiness after evolution has completely disappeared. Now Ghost Stone is a mature ghost-type elf with a solid foundation and rich skills.

It is worth mentioning that the flying mantis that left a deep impression on Zhenping did not choose to follow Zhenping to leave in the end. As the strongest combat force in the group, the heavy pressure of group survival on its shoulders made it insist on some things.

Shinpei is not reluctant about this, if the elves in the team are not of one mind, then no matter how strong the elves are, they will lose their meaning. Shinpei can only keep regretting this, and silently wish this ruthless flying mantis to make the flying mantis group prosperous and prosperous in this crisis-ridden world.

But at this moment, a more extensive dense forest is looming in the gaps in the bottom forest.

The trees in the EMI Forest generally range in height from 30 meters to 50 meters, and in this central area, there is a thick tree layer like a floating continent.This tree layer is like another world, separate from the ordinary forest at the bottom.

It is not accurate to say that it is suspended in the air. This huge tree canopy covering an area of ​​several square kilometers is completely supported by the huge trunk in its center.With the extension of each large primary branch, countless secondary branches divide the air into layers of domains.The vines and fibrous roots hanging from the branches support this incredible tree layer.

The entire central area completely constitutes a certain three-dimensional spatial pattern, and the magical tree like the world tree in Norse mythology has become the most iconic feature of EMI.

Looking at the huge tree trunk as thick as a mountain in front of you, looking up, it seems that the canopy of another world once existed in another time and space.Thick shadows exist in the vast area under the tree trunks, and due to the lack of light, only some low grasses that do not require high light can grow.

"Is this kind of tree really possible..."

Shinpei murmured in shock. In his original world, the tallest tree in the world was a terrifying tree named Eucalyptus almonds. The tallest tree in the record can reach 156 meters, which is almost equivalent to the height of 50 floors of an ordinary building. This is also the limit of life on earth.

The strange power of the elf world makes this limit instantly expanded to an unimaginable limit. In the original book, there exists a so-called World Tree on the outskirts of Ouludran City in the northeastern part of the Kanto. According to the legend, the initial dream of all life lives in the inner world of the World Tree.

"I don't know which of these two trees is bigger, the world of elves really has endless mysteries waiting for people to explore..."

It may be because this ancient tree has absorbed the water resources of the entire Modai-no-Forest. Under the root of the Momo-no-tree, there is a large clear lake, which is illuminated by the sunlight reflected from the sky. The bottom of the clear lake can be easily seen, and the low grass on the shore only needs a little treatment to become an excellent camp.

"Let's camp here, there may be special elves waiting for us to explore!" Putting down the backpack behind his back in a hurry, Shinpei quickly released the elves on his body.

"Ska!"

"Jie Jie~~"

"Roar!!"

A red light flashed, Hao Li, Ghost Stone, and the Gyarados who had been shrinking in the poke ball appeared under the giant tree.The elves who saw such a spectacular scene for the first time were also amazed. Among them, the reaction of the tyrannosaurus was particularly intense, and it jumped into the clear lake in the blink of an eye.

Da Luan, who hadn't returned to the waters for a long time, vented his repressed desire to his heart's content. A large amount of water column swirled under the sweep of the dragon's tail, and the star broken water splashed onto the shore, wetting the two of them and the two elves.

Unexpectedly, the Gyarados did not choose to swim far away in this wide water area. It seems that this guy has been wandering on the shore inadvertently, doing a good job of vigilance carelessly.

Shinpei smiled slightly, this big guy was dissatisfied with him, and Ken coming out now indicated that Shinpei was gradually being accepted in the heart of the big murderer.There is no other reason. Shinpei received an email from the handsome police officer yesterday. The Tatara Steel Plant has been officially closed for rectification and equipment upgrades. The pipes that originally discharged sewage into the lake have also been closed. The environment in that area is improving under the intervention of the alliance.

The Gyarados, which was originally born in the extreme anger caused by the endless pollution of nature by human beings, calmed down its anger under Zhenping's calm narration, which also recognized this trainer who indirectly saved his hometown.

After briefly enjoying the natural scenery with the elves, Shinpei and Yumi decided to set up a tent first, and then continue to explore this secret place.

……

Just when Shinpei and the others were still setting up a tent on the ground floor and lighting a protective bonfire.

The topmost floor of the giant tree is completely different from the original natural state of the bottom layer. A green pavilion-like building made of ancient wood stands majestically under the abundant sunlight.

Unknown emerald green vines grow sturdily on the exterior wall of the building, and some delicate green leaves are drawn from the top branches of the giant tree to decorate the exterior.The whole looks like it grew out of the giant tree, and the ancient and mysterious atmosphere is still around it, forming a field that is not disturbed by the outside world.

As if a door that had never been opened for a long time, the dusty door was opened, and the bright sunlight slanted in, and there was a sudden movement in a paulownia shrine that was enshrined.

As if the mysterious bell from ancient times rang, the solemn atmosphere quietly disintegrated, and the ethereal and melodious melody disappeared with the wind.As if something had been awakened by the ringing of the bell, a wooden window in the shrine slowly opened outwards.

Two dull blue hairs first exposed the shrine, followed by fluffy grass-like hair and emerald green skin on the top of the head, and finally an elf with wings on its back and a round head emerged from the space.

"Lappy~~"

It seems that it took a lot of energy, this little elf landed from the air to a branch of the giant tree to rest for a while.When the elf fell, the giant tree adjusted the position of its branches and leaves as if consciously, weaving the appearance of a miniature cradle.

The elf lazily folded the wings on its back, chose the most comfortable position to nest in, its slender legs dangled unstoppably outside the cradle, and took a sip of the juice condensed from the giant tree.

goo goo goo...

He hiccupped with great enjoyment, and the elf shrugged his nose, as if smelling some strange smell, the elf suddenly put down the leaves containing the sap and flew up.Following the wafting scent, the elf flew down layers of tree crowns, lying in a tree hole at the bottom and watching quietly.

Underground grass.

Taking advantage of the time before starting to explore the secret realm, Yumi began to cook a pot of corn bone soup in advance, and the corn soup with some strange flavored berries was steaming.A lid was placed on the aluminum pan for further simmering.

Even though it was not fully formed, the pot of soup was still full of fragrance. Seduced by the seductive smell, the elf swallowed and wiped away the little crystals left at the corner of his mouth in a panic.There was a curious gleam in his eyes.

The eyeballs rolled around, and the elf's face showed a sly arc. After thinking of something, it touched the giant tree with both hands and said something.

In response, the giant tree suddenly moved without being noticed by anyone, and some elves living on the giant tree suddenly received instructions.

Catch two humans!
