Elven settlers

Chapter 195
Rock wrapped the fishing line around the fishing rod, held it as a stick in his right hand, and held a knife in his left, carefully searching for clues in the nearby bushes and weeds.

However, there was nothing nearby. Rock didn't find any such things as footprints, feces, and food scraps.

Unwilling to give up, he went back to search again, and this time he finally found out what was wrong.

In an open space under the Muzi fruit tree, there is a piece of soil that is not particularly smooth.

At first, Rock thought it was just a trace left by the flood the day before yesterday, so he skipped it without looking carefully.

Now after re-examination, he found that the extent of the soil was roughly a circle, which seemed to be a blocked hole.

This discovery cheered up Rock, and he poked the soil from a distance with the fishing rod in his hand.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the fishing rod was poked into the soil, the soil suddenly collapsed, and as expected, a pothole underneath was exposed.

Walking to the edge of the pothole, an unpleasant rancid stench entered Rock's nostrils.

He hastily walked a few steps away, and waited until the rotten smell in the pit dissipated a bit, and then returned holding his breath.

Rock used a fishing rod to dig the dirt covering the surface of the pit twice, revealing an elf corpse buried underneath.

Although the corpse was somewhat decomposed, Rock still recognized the corpse as a cat boss from the beige hair and the curled tail at the end.

Judging from the swollen body of the cat boss, it should have drowned.

Now the situation is clear, the cat boss is the guardian of the muzi fruit tree, and it directly placed its nest in the hole under the tree.

As a result, in the torrential rain the day before yesterday, he was killed by the sudden rising flood.

Thinking of this, Roque also had lingering fears.

In the face of natural disasters, even powerful elves have become powerless.

The vigorous and swift cat boss drowned in his own cave without even a chance to escape up the tree.

But thanks to the dead cat boss, the other wild elves around could still feel its breath, so they didn't covet Mu Ziguo in the past two days.

Otherwise, Rock wouldn't be able to see so many mature Muzi fruits now.

"This is too coincidental. It seems that I have changed my luck. If this is the case, then I can take advantage of this opportunity to catch two big fish back!"

Rock was still a little bit worried about not catching any fish today, so he was going to try to throw two more shots before picking these agaric fruits.

With the dead body of the cat boss here, the muzi fruit tree is still safe for the time being, so he left with peace of mind.

Of course, I didn't go too far. I only walked about 800 meters, and I found a big rock on the bank of the river and sat on it.

The muzi fruit trees in this place are still in Rock's sight, and at the same time, they are basically not affected by the breath of the cat boss. It is the most suitable fishing spot he can find right now.

"Swish... Swish"

Just as Rock sat down, there was a sudden rustling of branches and leaves in the bushes behind him.

It seems that the ripening of Muziguo has attracted some wild elves, but they have not taken any action for the time being because of the deterrent of the cat boss's breath.

These wild elves who were active outside did not dare to enter the domain of the cat boss, but they were not so afraid of Rock as a human being.

Some wild elves, who usually have difficulty eating meat, are already drooling and ready to move.

Rock didn't care about this, but calmly drew the knife in his hand, and strode towards the bushes behind him.

The wild elves peeping at Rock in the bushes were bewildered by his actions and didn't know what he was going to do, so they quietly lurked, ready to wait and see again.

But what they didn't expect was that when Rock was only half a meter away from the bushes, he suddenly took a step forward and crashed into the bushes.

Before the elves inside could react, Rock stretched out his left hand like lightning, and grabbed a lurking little Lada.

Rock's five fingers pinched Little Lada's body like a steel hoop, and it struggled to turn its head and bite Rock's hand.

However, before Little Radha could bite Rock, suddenly the blade flashed, and its head was cut off in an instant, and the body caught in Rock's hands was still twitching subconsciously.

The woods immediately became quiet, except for the rushing of the river, no noise could be heard.

The other little Ladas who were hiding in the bushes just now, coveting Rock's body, all buried their heads at this moment, trembling all over their bodies.

The other wild elves also retreated to the distance one after another, giving up all the nearby area.

Rock didn't continue to pay attention to these wild elves, but returned to the big rock with the headless body of little Lada.

After wiping the blood off the blade with the little Radha's fur, he put the knife back into its sheath.

Then he pulled out the auxiliary knife for cutting, roughly cut the little Lada into small pieces, and put them on the fishhook.

"It should be no problem to change the bait this time."

Rock took the decisive shot to kill this little Lada just now, in addition to frightening the wild elves who were peeping around, partly because he wanted to try a different kind of bait.

He hadn't successfully caught it with berries before, and he carefully analyzed the reason, thinking that there should be a factor of bait besides luck.

In short, my fishing level must be no problem.

Now that luck has improved and the bait has been changed, Rock feels that he is absolutely foolproof this time.

5 minute, 10 minutes, 15 minutes...

Half an hour passed, and Rock never expected that all the conditions were met this time, but the fish in the water stopped biting the hook.

Seeing that the time has come to 12:30, I have to go back to make lunch.

Unwilling, Rock had no choice but to put away his fishing rod and walk towards the muzi fruit tree.

"It's not a waste of money to bring back so many muzi fruits, and the nutritional value of muzi fruits is even higher than those fish Pokémon."

Rock climbed to the tree, and while picking the fruit, he thought to himself.

There were 55 ripe kapoks on this tree, all of which were picked by Rock.

Those immature Rocks were kept, and after returning to the camp, he would arrange for the Dai Rubi to increase the guarding tasks here every day until all the muzi fruits were picked.

Muzi fruit will only bear fruit once a year, so don't worry about it after picking it, and wait until this time next year to prepare.

He took off his shirt, carried the fruit he had picked, picked it up with a fishing rod, and headed towards the elves.

"Hey lol!"

Hei Lujia, who couldn't wait to go back to have lunch, ran over directly when he saw Roque, rubbing against his body and urging him to go faster.

The elves, who had had enough, were lying on the grass, lazily waiting for Rock, with a full bucket beside them.

Rock looked at the various fish Pokémon in the bucket, took off his clothes from the fishing rod, and smiled unnaturally.

"Haha, everyone caught a lot of fish. I passed by and saw a tree with a lot of fruit trees, and I picked them all up. This tree fruit is very good. Eating it is good for your physique. Good. Haha, haha."

　Done, remember to refresh it!
