Elf, I am really a farmer

Zhou Zhen, carrying a space backpack, hurriedly left the room, wanting only to return to the family base as soon as possible.

He walked quickly outside the house. The majestic king-level Pidgeot had been waiting for a long time. Its huge body cast a shadow in the sun, and its sharp eyes revealed endless majesty.

Pidgeot's eyes, like cold stars, scanned the surroundings sharply. On its slightly folded huge wings, the feathers trembled gently in the breeze, as if accumulating endless power.

Zhou Zhen took a deep breath, rushed forward, used the momentum of running to leap up, and sat steadily on the broad back of Pidgeot.

The Pidgeot let out a long cry towards the sky, and the loud and clear cry cut through the sky, as if announcing its departure.

Then, it flapped its huge and powerful wings vigorously, instantly creating a strong airflow, and took off from the ground, rushing towards the organization's base.

Zhou Zhen sat on Pidgeot's back, the wind whistling in his ears, his hair and clothes flying wildly, but at this moment his heart was filled with an eagerness to return home. Images of the successful transaction kept emerging in his mind, as well as his various visions of the family's future use of energy cubes.

On this return trip, there was no need to dodge as carefully as on the way here. Pidgeot flew at full speed at an extremely fast speed.

The sound of wind whistled past Zhou Zhen's ears. He sometimes looked up at the sky, watching the white clouds floating in the azure sky like a gem; sometimes he looked down at the earth below, seeing the mountains and rivers slowly unfolding under his feet like a picture scroll.

About three or four hours later, the Utopian-class Pidgeot flew back to the organization's base at an extremely fast speed.

General Zhou had been waiting anxiously in the base. He paced back and forth in the room. His heavy and rapid footsteps seemed to carry his inner worries and expectations. Every step made the floor vibrate slightly, and the room was filled with his nervous atmosphere.

When he saw Zhou Zhen returning, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by concern.

"Zhen'er, is everything okay?"

General Zhou stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes full of worry, and he looked Zhou Zhen up and down carefully, as if trying to find something wrong with him.

Zhou Zhen looked at his father's concerned face, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He had lived under the aura of his brother Zhou Li since he was a child, and his father always had strict requirements on him, so such warm inquiries were really rare.

He was slightly moved and said quickly:

"Father, everything is normal. I brought the things back."

As he said that, he handed over the space backpack in his hand.

The moment General Zhou took the backpack, his hands trembled slightly. He couldn't wait to open the backpack and take out a few life energy cubes. These cubes were both primary and intermediate. From the appearance, they seemed no different from ordinary energy cubes.

However, the moment General Zhou took the energy block in his hand, something strange happened.

General Zhou's shadow seemed to be stirred by an invisible force and began to tremble violently. Then, before anyone could react, the energy block in his hand disappeared in an instant.

Then, a Night Demon that was even larger than Zhou Zhen’s Night Demon slowly emerged beside him.

This night demon exuded a cold aura, and its eyes were like two burning flames, staring at the energy cubes, with greed and excitement flashing in its eyes.

Then he swallowed the energy cubes one by one without any hesitation. He looked like he was enjoying the meal very much. Every time he swallowed a piece, a slight swallowing sound came from his throat, as if he was tasting the most delicious delicacy in the world.

Zhou Zhen was stunned watching from the side. He knew very well that life energy was extremely attractive to ghost Pokémon, but he was still shocked by the performance of Noctilucent.

There have been incidents of ghost Pokémon injuring people in many places. This is because they need life energy to grow, and the easiest way to obtain life energy is to absorb it from humans.

But this method has both advantages and disadvantages. Although absorbing the life energy from humans can quickly meet their needs, it will lead to the death of a large number of humans.

Once this happens, the Alliance will definitely intervene to deal with it, and those ghost Pokémon that hurt people will basically not escape the fate of being sanctioned.

Moreover, since everyone's life energy is different, arbitrarily absorbing the life energy of humans will cause the ghost Pokémon's intelligence to fall into chaos, and it may eventually lose its mind and become a tool that only knows how to kill.

Therefore, generally only those vicious ghost Pokémon will take the risk of adopting this method. Most ghost Pokémon are relatively friendly. They are just generally very naughty and difficult to capture, so they are not suitable for novices.

At this time, after eating a few energy cubes, the Night Demon raised its head and looked at General Zhou, letting out a low cry. The cry echoed in the silent room with a hint of pleading.

Although Zhou Zhen couldn't understand what the Night Demon said, he could roughly guess what it was thinking. It probably wanted more energy cubes.

General Zhou looked at the Night Demon, shook his head slightly, and said softly:

"No, I need to take it for testing first to see if there is any problem. I will give it to you if there is no problem."

His voice was gentle but with unquestionable firmness, and his eyes were cautious.

The Night Demon seemed extremely dissatisfied with this answer. It cried out loudly several times, its voice full of eagerness and desire, as if to say:

"How could there be anything wrong with something this delicious? Let me eat it quickly."

Its body swayed slightly, and the shadow on its body swayed with it, emitting a cold breath.

General Zhou still shook his head firmly, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, the Night Demon helplessly called out a few more times, his voice full of resentment and unwillingness, and then slowly returned to General Zhou's shadow, and the shadow also returned to calm.

Zhou Zhen was so excited when he saw this scene that he couldn't suppress his excitement and said directly:

"Father, it seems that this life energy block is really not simple. Look, even the Night Demon can't help it."

His eyes were bright and fiery, his face flushed with excitement, and his voice rose slightly with excitement.

General Zhou nodded with satisfaction, his eyes flashing with anticipation and joy, and said:

"Yes, it seems to be unusual. Let's go and test it first. If there is no problem, we can make arrangements later."

He carefully placed the energy cube back into his space backpack, then strode towards the testing room, each step filled with firmness and determination.

Zhou Zhen hurriedly followed behind him, his steps brisk and vigorous, his heart full of curiosity and anticipation about the test results of the life energy cube.
