Elven settlers

Chapter 123
The summer sun is like a scorching fireball, scorching the earth with blazing sunlight.

There was not a single cloud in the clear blue sky, and there was a heat wave in the air.

The Pokémon in Rock's territory huddled under various shades, avoiding the hot sun.

Ubbo and the Marsh King got into the mud on the bank of the river, and Rada fell asleep in the cave.

Even the big needles who worked hard to gather honey just flew close to the shade of the trees, fearing that the sun would burn their wings.

Under such weather, Rock also had to suspend logging work.

He, the elves, and the Mali sheep are staying in Yunhui Mountain, waiting for the temperature to cool down before continuing to work.

Compared with the hot plains, the mountains and forests at higher altitudes are slightly cooler.

In recent days, due to the high temperature, Rock has been working in the morning and afternoon.

After more than ten days of hard work, he has collected logs from two wooden piles.

At this time, Rock was lying on a big rock by the stream, holding a grass stalk in his mouth, and resting his hands behind his head.

Bayleaf and Arbor were lying beside him, and they didn't want to move on such a hot day.So he lay comfortably on the cool stone, and was in a daze with his trainer.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly a black shadow passed over Rock's head.

"Ok?"

Rock came back to his senses from the air, and rubbed his eyes suspiciously.

At this time, another black shadow appeared, and this time he saw it clearly, it was a leaping Mare sheep.

It turned out that these mischievous Mare sheep felt bored when they were resting, so they took the rock where Rock was lying on as a toy, and jumped over it one by one.

Rock knew that Mali sheep had the habit of jumping over each other from their companions, and this was their favorite game.

But what he didn't expect was that his Mare sheep were no longer satisfied with jumping on their companions, they began to challenge higher goals.

"Bah!"

Another Mare sheep flew past. The stone on which Rock was lying was very large, roughly three meters wide and one meter high.

Ordinary Mare sheep would definitely not be able to jump over it, but Rock's Mare sheep followed him to do a lot of projects.

Whether it is transporting stones or pulling wood, each one is lean and strong, and the four short legs have a lot of strength.

Rock stretched out his hand and pulled down a Maari sheep flying in the air, pinched its hind hoof, and it felt very strong, like a small steel cannon.

"Hahaha, it looks like I'm good at raising sheep!"

Seeing that the hottest period of the day had passed, Rock put a noose on the Mare sheep and continued to collect wood.

Not only the Mare sheep, but Rock, Arbo and Bay Leaf are also much stronger. His idea of ​​training at work has been perfectly verified.

After the timber was transported back to the camp, the bay leaves deftly waved the sickle above her head and cut down the other branches of the spruce.

This is also a kind of training. In the continuous cutting of trees, the chopping of the bay leaf is becoming more and more precise and stable, and the sharpness of strength and energy has also improved.

After processing the wood, Arbor climbed up the stack around the logs, and with the cooperation of Rock and Bay Leaf, he easily put the logs into the designated position.

In addition to the improvement in ability, the work skills of Rock, Bay Leaf, and Arbor are also much more skilled.Compared with the initial return to Leng, their work speed is much faster.

In the evening, when the temperature was not so hot, Rock and the elves worked a little longer.

According to this progress, he will be able to collect enough wood in about a week.

"Come on guys, get this log back and we can rest."

Thinking about taking a good rest for a while, Roque encouraged the elves loudly.

"Ow~"

Suddenly, a sound like howling of a wolf resounded in the forest, and the sound sounded a little inexplicably terrifying.

The baali sheep were a little flustered when they heard the sound, but they were immediately calmed down by Rock.

The direction of the terrifying wolf howl came from the depths of Yunhui Mountain, which was far away from Rock and the others, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The Yunhui Mountains have a very large area, and there are a large number of wild elves living in it. These wild elves are of various types and will give birth to many powerful elf populations or individuals.

They have different feeding habits, some are carnivorous, some are herbivorous, and some even eat stones, and the resulting threats are also different.

But as long as these powerful Pokémon don't come to their territory, Rock won't care about them.

"Let's go, let's go back to eat."

Ignoring the howling in the forest, Rock and the elves dragged the cut spruces and continued towards the camp.

The bay leaf walking in the front illuminated the way down the mountain with a flash technique, and the following Mare sheep also lit up the bulb-shaped ball at the end.

A faint orange glow illuminates the spruce branches, making transportation a lot easier.

Unlike before, the light from the Mare sheep's tails did not go out quickly this time.This is not because they have more electricity stored in their hair, but because they also use flash.

This is Rock's latest discovery. He didn't show the skill discs of the flash technique to his Mali sheep, but these Mali sheep have all learned the flash technique.

At first, Rock was a little confused, but after observing for a period of time, he found that the Mali sheep often watched the bay leaf use the flash technique, and finally learned it by himself.

There are three ways for Pokémon to learn skills, which are self-comprehension, using skill discs, and teachings from other Pokémon. Now Rock has seen them all.

"Whoa..."

Just as Rock and the others were about to leave the Yunhui Mountain Range, there were a few subtle animal roars in the forest, but they were overshadowed by the friction of branches and leaves.

Only Abbe raised his head vigilantly.

"what happened?"

Rock asked suspiciously.

"Chipper?"

Abo spit out the snake letter, concentrated on probing for a moment, but found nothing new, so he shook his head at Rock.

Upon seeing this, Rock signaled the elves to move on, but he secretly cheered up.

After walking for a while, the roar of the beast sounded again, and this time Rock, who was on guard, heard it too.

He pretended not to notice, and continued to push the trunk, but quietly pricked up his ears.

"Aww..."

A few more beast roars were heard from far away, and Rock could hear them more clearly.

It was a dark and terrifying voice, and each voice had a different pitch, as if communicating.

Rock immediately judged that they were being targeted by a group of wild elves, and the Pokémon hunted by such a group were usually very difficult to deal with.

He also has a group of Mare sheep that need to be protected, and he must leave immediately before being surrounded by the opponent.

"Come on!"

With Roque's order, their speed increased instantly.
