Elven settlers

Chapter 68

After running for a certain distance in the forest, Deluby stopped suddenly, lowered his body and stared closely at one direction.

Seeing this, Rock hurriedly stepped lightly, hid behind a tree and quietly stretched out his head to observe.

A beehive appeared in front of his eyes. More than a dozen iron-shelled insects hung densely on the tree, unicorns gnawed on the grass leaves under the tree, and three big needlepoints left behind were holding huge double needles at the edge of the nest. Patrol back and forth.

Looking at the scale, Rock judged that this should be regarded as a medium-sized hive, and the number of large needles was about ten to fifteen.

The other big needles should be out foraging, this is a good opportunity for Rock.

He gestured to Arbor and Daruby, and the two elves sneaked towards the hive from different directions.

After a few breaths, Roque, who felt that the two elves were already in place, gave an attack command through his mind.

Arbor and Deruby rushed out of hiding at the same time.

Strong winds blew through the trees, snapping leaves.

The stronger Abo monster attacked first, biting an unsuspecting big needle with lightning speed, and then a ghost face phantom appeared in the eyes of the facial pattern on the chest and abdomen, and rushed into the other one that was about to attack. The big needle that flew away instantly slowed down the opponent's speed.

At this time, Derby, who had dealt with an opponent, opened his mouth and shot a jet of flame at the big needle, and the big needle instantly blackened its wings and fell from the sky.

The battle ended very quickly.

"Derby, don't let those unicorns get away! Arbors keep them in check!"

Rock ran out from the grass beside the hive and commanded loudly.

This time, Deluby did not kill the opponent after solving the opponent. After hearing Rock's order, he immediately ran to the periphery of the hive, patrolled back and forth, and drove back the unicorns who wanted to escape with sparks.

On the other side, Arbo raised his upper body in the hive, exuding a powerful aura, and at the same time, the facial pattern on his chest and abdomen shone fiercely.

Shocked by the threats and the big snake's stare, the unicorns in the nest froze in place, trembling.

After controlling the scene, Rock asked Deluby to guard the periphery, and he and Arbor began to screen the unicorns.

The screening method is the information that Rock found from the computer Rui sent, but the computer can no longer be turned on because it is out of power.

It was a paper published by Dr. Oki, a well-known researcher in the Kanto area.

Introduced some tit-for-tat related research in detail. Rock did not understand the specific principles, but remembered the final conclusion.

The general meaning of that information is that the process of brewing honey by the big needle is closely related to its poisonous glands, so individuals with excellent honey-harvesting ability can be selected through the toxicity of the unicorn's poisonous needles.

Under the same conditions, the stronger the toxicity of Dazhengfeng, the better the quality of the honey produced.

Since there is no reference standard for accurately judging the toxicity index, Rock's screening plan is to choose one out of five. If a small hive with less than five unicorns is encountered, the most toxic one will be selected.

"I'm counting on you Arbor, pick out the three most poisonous unicorns."

Rock patted Arbor's body, and stood aside holding the worm box.

There are a total of sixteen unicorns in this nest, and taking three of them will not affect the group.

After hearing Roque's instructions, the Arbo monster slowly walked around these unicorns, and every time it passed one, it stretched out the snake letter and tapped the poisonous needle on their heads a few times.

Its snake letter has the ability to detect the strength of poison, and as a poisonous Pokémon, Arbor is basically not poisoned.

Poison-type and steel-type elves will only fall into a poisoned state under some special circumstances, and these unicorns obviously do not have this ability.

When the unicorns were too frightened to move around, the Arbo monster quickly selected the three most poisonous ones.Rock carefully grabbed their necks to prevent himself from being stabbed by the poisonous needle.

He put the three unicorns into the worm box together, got up and left quickly.

He whistled when he was leaving, and Dai Rubi, who was on alert in the distance, ran after hearing it and evacuated together.

Returning to the place where the sledge was parked guarded by the bay leaf, Rock separated the three unicorns and put them in the worm box at the bottom of the truck.

He hurriedly put the unicorn away, and then rushed back to the forest without stopping.

For a whole day, Rock, Arbor, and Deluby ran back and forth in the Evergreen Forest.In order to catch as many unicorns as possible, they didn't even eat lunch.

I have to say that the Viridian Forest is indeed a paradise for insect Pokémon. In one day, Roque encountered a full ten nests of big needles.

In addition to three medium-sized nests and five small nests, there are also two large nests.

Each of these two large lairs has no less than fifty large needles.

Except that the large lair took some effort, the large needles of the medium and small lairs were completely unable to stop the invasion of Druby and Arbor.

However, Rock only wanted to domesticate some unicorns for honey, not extinction, so he only temporarily disabled those big needles.

After searching almost all of the Viridian Forest in the territory and a part outside the territory, Rock managed to gather 45 unicorns.

At this time, there was still some time before dark, but Rock was not going to continue searching.

The unicorn worm he caught first hadn't eaten water for a long time, so he had to go back and resettle it quickly.

Rock tied the worm box on the truck body tightly with a rope, and it felt very stable after pulling it.Then put the bay leaf on the saddle bag, tightened the straps and patted its neck.

"Go back!"

After yelling, Rock held the handle behind the cart with both hands, arched his body and pushed the sledge vigorously with Arbor.

The slide rails at the bottom of the car rubbed from slow to fast on the grass, and finally broke through the grass waves and started to drive at high speed.

"Wang Wang!"

De Ruby, who had no mission, was happily chasing the sledge, running to the left and then to the right.

The clouds were turned pink by the setting sun, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

Early summer is approaching, and the warm wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers is rushing towards the face. Rock feels very happy, and his tired body is full of vitality again.

In the gorgeous afterglow of golden red, Rock returned with a full load.

He parked the sledge directly on the high slope north of the camp, which was about [-] kilometers away from his camp, where Rock was going to build a house.

This location was chosen by Rock as the location of the bee farm. It is located a little to the northwest of the tree orchard, and it is very close to the tree orchard, less than 800 meters away.

In addition to a good location, the conditions of height, light, and water source are also very suitable.

Located on a high slope at the foot of the mountain, there is no need to worry about flooding, and at the same time there is plenty of sunlight, and there is a mountain spring nearby.

Rock is most satisfied with the 30-meter-high beech forest that grows here. The umbrella-like canopy can shelter the worm boxes below from wind and rain, and the large petals that fall on the ground are excellent food for unicorns.

After they evolve into big needles, the tall and thick branches of these beech trees can firmly support their hives.

Judging from the beehives that Rock has seen, one of these big trees is more than enough for two big needles to build a nest.

Moving the worm box down from the truck, Rock placed an irregular circle around the six beech trees that seemed to be the tallest.

This is to imitate the nesting habits of the wild needles. After these unicorns evolve, they will use this place as a nest, build beehives around these six big trees, and multiply.
