I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"The energy compatibility of this armored bird is 87%. This is probably why you encountered the armored bird's energy frenzy."

Asakusa Akane walked out of the laboratory, handed the Poké Ball back to Li Ran, and restored the state of the Armored Bird.

"Berserk state?"

Everyone looked at her in confusion, but Asakusa Akane was not surprised and took out a stack of information.

"This is a record of the past three months since the energy magnetic field appeared in the Z11 area. The first giant elf attack occurred near Yunluo Village. It was a mushroom ball affected by the energy."

When she said this, Akane Asakusa's eyes turned serious.

"When this mushroom ball was first discovered and brought back to the institute for research, the degree of compatibility was only 10%."

"10%?! How is that possible?"

Everyone showed incredible expressions, and the assistant behind Asakusa Akane came up and placed a map of the energy magnetic field distribution on the table.

"This is the energy magnetic field from three months ago, and this is the energy magnetic field measured today. You can see the difference."

Everyone looked at the distribution map. Since they were not professionals, some text was specially marked at each position on the map.

"The energy field is expanding."

Li Ran's answer made Asakusa Akane nodded in agreement.

"It is precisely because of the expansion of the magnetic field that the original rich energy has been reduced. We also discovered this from the Aiya Mushroom Ball we brought back. In the second month, the Aiya Mushroom Ball no longer had any reaction to this energy."

Lin Shuangjun held his chin with his hand and said in a low voice.

"We can't allow the energy magnetic field to continue to expand its range."

"Then how should we investigate? Judging from the scope of this magnetic field, the four of us won't be able to finish investigating even if we stay here for a year."

Gao Hong looked at the range of the magnetic field and felt a little dry in the mouth.

Li Ran was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Asakusa Akane.

"Can you tell me where the energy magnetic field first appeared?"

The assistant next to Asakusa Akane was slightly surprised, and then drew a few lines on the picture with a pen.

"According to our analysis, these three locations should be where the energy magnetic field first appeared, and they are also where the energy is the most concentrated."

Everyone looked at the three places marked on the map, namely: Yunluo Village, Chaoxi Valley, and Niqiu.

"Have you sent anyone to investigate?"

Asakusa Akane shook her head and replied.

"That's why I asked you to come here. As the energy magnetic field continues to expand, many powerful elves have gathered nearby. We can't get close to it with our current strength."

It’s not their fault, as Akane Asakusa and the others are not professional combat trainers.

"I see. Let's start the investigation now."

Lin Shuangjun led everyone out of the research institute and then began to speak.

"So, to ensure our own safety, we will be divided into two groups and go to two places respectively. Li Ran and I will go to Yunluo Village, while Brother Wei and Brother Gao will go to Chaoxi Valley. If there are any problems, please contact us in time using the intercom."

Because of the magnetic field, most electronic equipment has been interfered with. These four walkie-talkies were specially manufactured by the institute.

"no problem."

Wei Yongwang and Gao Hong said in unison, and then the two groups took the off-road vehicles sent by the research institute to the edge of Chaoxi Valley and Yunluo Village.

......

"Master Lin, Master Li, the car can no longer go forward. I can only take you here."

The driver slowly stopped the car, the two men thanked him politely, then opened the door and walked out.

The location of Yunluo Village is worthy of its name. Looking from below, it seems to be surrounded by clouds and mist, and the village is located on the mountainside.

"This is the instrument that Dr. Qian asked me to give you. It can help record some data and pictures."

Li Ran took the thumb-sized silver instrument and pinned it directly on his collar, which was nice and didn't get in the way.

"Then let's go there."

Lin Shuangjun looked at Li Ran, Li Ran nodded, and then the two of them walked towards the top of the mountain.

Along the way, Li Ran also understood why the people from the research institute were unable to enter. The elves they encountered were almost all low-level lords, and after becoming gigantic, their strength was close to that of mid-level lords.

The two of them consumed one third of the energy blocks prepared for them by the research institute, and only then did they successfully arrive at the entrance of Yunluo Village.

Because of the constant presence of clouds and fog, the humidity in the air was extremely high, and there were many water droplets on the special mountaineering clothes worn by the two men.

Lin Shuangjun was about to go in when Li Ran stopped him. He looked at him puzzledly, wanting an explanation.

"Don't you think it's too quiet?"

According to the information provided by Akane Asakusa and the others, the population of Yunluo Village has reached several hundred. Although they have stored food and have no worries about food and drink, it is daytime after all, and it should not be so quiet, let alone the current situation.

"Could it be that he is hiding because he is afraid of being attacked by wild Pokémon?"

Although what Lin Shuangjun said was very reasonable, Li Ran still felt that it was unlikely. According to the data from the research institute three months ago, there were also many strong trainers in Yunluo Village. In addition to the trainers stationed here by the Pokémon Association, although they could not break through that group of Pokémons, they would definitely have no problem protecting themselves.

This can also be seen from the intact houses in the village.

After walking for ten minutes into the village, Li Ran became more and more alert. He didn't see anyone on the road. He knocked on the doors of several houses along the way, but got no response.

"I don't have anyone here."

Lin Shuangjun scratched his hair in confusion. Why did it feel like there was no one in this village?

"Let's look for Ye Hu and Ye Bao first."

The two brothers Ye Hu and Ye Bao mentioned by Li Ran are residents of Yunluo Village, so the Elf Association sent them to be stationed here. After all, no one is more familiar with this place than them.

"Okay, that's where the Elf Association is stationed here."

Following the direction of Lin Shuangjun's finger, Li Ran also saw the magical building.

knock knock.

This time, the knock on the door finally got a response. The door slowly opened, revealing a somewhat depressed face. The man first glanced at the two people's clothes and asked.

"Are you from the research institute?"

"You are Ye Hu, right?"

Lin Shuangjun walked forward. Just now at the research institute, he made a special effort to learn about the appearance of the two trainers from Yunluo Village.

"I'm."

Hearing the other party calling out his name and hearing Lin Shuangjun take out his ID, Ye Hu also recognized the identities of the two and opened the door completely.

A strong smell of sweat came over Li Ran, and he couldn't avoid it, and then he felt nauseous.
