After being struck by lightning, I became the leader of the elves

"Lin Feng! How did you promise me? Bai Zhi told me this morning that she and Bai Yao were going to the Tianqing Forest alone!"

During the break, Tang Yu called Lin Feng to his office and started scolding him.

"You promised me solemnly that you would take good care of Bai Zhi, but now you just quit?"

After scolding for about 10 minutes, Lin Feng quietly observed that Tang Yu's tone gradually softened and he seemed a little tired. He hurriedly picked up a cup of hot tea from the table and carefully handed it to Tang Yu.

"Director Tang, calm down and drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Even though Bai Yao was very dissatisfied with him and Bai Zhi also condoned Bai Yao's behavior, they were all classmates after all, and there was no need to slander others behind their backs, so Lin Feng made up a reason and explained.

"Director Tang, look, it's inappropriate for me to follow two girls when they go out."

Lin Feng scratched his head and continued, "Besides, you know me. I am just a little clever. It won't be of any use to them if they are in danger. On the contrary, I might become a burden to them. Senior Sister Bai Zhi is so strong that she will definitely return safely."

"You... ahem, tell the teacher the truth, is it that Baizhi thinks you are a drag and a way to steal credits, so she deliberately didn't take you with her?" There was a hint of doubt in Tang Yu's tone.

Lin Feng's heart tightened, but he pretended to be innocent on the surface, "No way, Director Tang, please don't talk nonsense. Senior Sister Bai Zhi is very kind to me. She even cooked for me personally."

Looking at Lin Feng's sincere eyes, Tang Yu finally sighed helplessly and waved his hand.

"Oh, forget it, it's up to you."

"I'm recommending you to just provide insurance for the child. Old Wang isn't worried, so why should I worry about it?"

"Huh? Why are you still here? You don't have class?"

Seeing that Lin Feng had not left yet, Tang Yu asked curiously.

"Well," Lin Feng said with a hint of embarrassment, but with more anticipation on his face, "Director Tang, I just remembered today that you haven't given me the reward for my school's exchange competition yet..."

"...You still remember it after going through so many things?" Tang Yu had a strange look on his face. He didn't mean to withhold the money, but Lin Feng had too many things to do in the past few days, so he neglected this matter.

"So, what is the reward?" Lin Feng looked expectant, with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, go to class first. I'll take you to get it at noon." Hearing the bell ringing, Tang Yu hurriedly urged.

After Lin Feng left, Tang Yu sat quietly for a while and sighed.

I hope Baizhi and the others can come back safely.

……

"Sister, it's been a whole morning, and all I encountered were some novice-level and entry-level Pokémon. It seems that this Azure Forest is not as scary as the legend says."

On the outskirts of the Tianqing Forest, Bai Yao followed Bai Zhi closely. Both of them carried heavy backpacks and looked around vigilantly.

"Don't be careless. Although this is only the outskirts of the Azure Forest, the level of Pokémon is generally not higher than the normal level, but occasionally there will be elite level Pokémon appearing."

Baizhi glanced at the iron-shell pupae hanging on the tree, then continued to look down at the compass in her hand and whispered.

"Let's find a safe place to rest for a while, and then go deeper in the afternoon. We should complete the mission and return to school as soon as possible. After all, this is not a place to stay for long."

Not long after, the two found a stream. Bai Yao put down her backpack, took out the self-heating hot pot, and began to add water to cook. Bai Zhi, on the other hand, released her tentacle lily and stood guard around.

Soon, the aroma of the hot pot spread, filling the air, making people salivate.

"Sister, let's eat."

Bai Yao handed Bai Zhi a bucket of pre-heated self-heating hot pot, then she opened another bucket and started eating.

The two of them were eating with relish, but they didn't know that a silly groundhog had also smelled the fragrance and was quietly approaching.

"Lily!" The mole was discovered by the tentacle lily when it was about five meters away from Baizhi, and the tentacle lily issued warnings repeatedly.

"Hmm?" Bai Zhi looked up and saw the mole, but did not regard her as a threat. "Tentacle Lily, use the dissolving liquid to drive him away."

Upon hearing this, the tentacle lily spat out a dissolving liquid, which directly severely injured the mole.

The mole screamed, obviously frightened by the sudden attack. He quickly burrowed underground and fled far away, soon disappearing into the dense forest.

This little episode did not affect the Baizhi sister at all. They continued to eat hot pot, chatting and laughing, as if they were having a picnic, enjoying this rare relaxing time.

But less than ten minutes later, Bai Zhi suddenly felt an unusual shaking of the ground.

"What happened?" Bai Zhi quickly stood up and saw the dust rising in the distance, her heart tightened.

She took out a telescope from her bag and observed carefully, and found that there were more than twenty gophers, and the head of the leading gopher had traces of corrosion caused by the dissolving liquid.

Are you here for revenge? Bai Zhi frowned, but soon her brows relaxed. She took out two intermediate insect sprays from her backpack and sprayed the liquid in the air.

The gophers that were originally moving quickly, after smelling this smell, all changed their expressions and began to retreat frantically.

"Let's go. The spray only lasts a short time. They might come back again."

Bai Zhi picked up her backpack and urged Bai Yao to leave quickly. She knew that the effect of the spray would not last long and the gopher swarm would most likely come back.

But Baizhi still underestimated the persistence of the mole.

An hour after they left, two gophers brought more than thirty gophers to the creek. They sniffed the lingering human scent in the air, and then continued to chase in the direction where the Baizhi sisters left.

……

On the other side, Tang Yu took Lin Feng towards the warehouse.

"Although the competition was interrupted, the alliance finally decided to give certain rewards to the players who entered the quarterfinals," Tang Yu paused and continued, "The rewards include 10 intermediate balls, 5 Elf Coins, 1 Guarding Skill Disc, and 1 Mysterious Water Drop."

Noticing Lin Feng's hesitant expression, Tang Yu waved his hand, as if he had anticipated his reaction. "It's a lot less than the promised first and second place prizes, but Tianhai City has just been attacked, and many places need repairs and maintenance. This is where the money is needed, so it's good enough to give these."

"But..." Tang Yu entered the password, and the door of the warehouse slowly opened, revealing rows of elf props and training resources inside. "The school will not treat you unfairly. After discussion, we decided to give you a generous reward for entering the top four!"

"200 credits, any one Pokémon of a different color, any five skill discs, any two items, and a certificate of entry and exit to the Azure Forest."

"Except for the different-colored Pokémon, which require your Riolu to reach the entry-level intermediate level to claim, other rewards can be claimed at any time with your campus card."

"Other colored Pokémon? Any?"

When Lin Feng heard "Other-colored Pokémon", his eyes lit up immediately. He ignored Tang Yu's next words and asked excitedly, "Can I choose Litten?"

"Uh, you can! But no."

"Burning bugs?"

"No."

"Mini dragon?"

"What do you think?"

"Spy Mantis?"

"..."

"There are less than ten different-colored Pokémon in the school, so you can figure it out for yourself!"

Tsk, Lin Feng curled his lips. That’s all, and you still have the nerve to say you can choose any one.

……

Azure Forest

"Bai Yao, go!"

Bai Zhi dragged Bai Yao and kept running in the forest. Behind them, Scythe Helmet and Tentacle Lily fought and retreated, occasionally slapping a mole away.

But the number of gophers did not decrease at all. Bai Zhi turned around and saw densely packed gopher heads behind her. More than fifty pairs of eyes were staring at her angrily.

Bai Zhi never expected that just killing a few small gophers would eventually attract siege from countless gophers and gopher rats.

Before, she was pleasantly surprised to find an early elite-level Flame Horse, and quickly sent out Scythe Helmet to fight. Under the four-fold attribute restraint, Scythe Helmet quickly gained the upper hand.

But when Scythe Helmet was about to end the life of Flame Horse, several Three Mice with Mice suddenly jumped out and launched a surprise attack on the Angelica sisters.

If it weren't for the tentacle lily that had been guarding by their side and came to their rescue in time, Bai Zhi and Bai Yao would have died on the spot.

But because of the attack of the mole, the Flame Horse seized the opportunity and ran away.

The duck that was about to be caught flew away, and Baizhi was so angry that she directly ordered the sickle helmet and tentacle lily to destroy these troublesome gophers.

Except for a few gophers that dug holes and ran away, the rest of the gophers all became victims of the sickle helmet's knife.

However, Bai Zhi's impulsive behavior soon made her taste the bitter fruit.

The strong smell of blood soon attracted a group of ferocious Pokémon, including some powerful opponents at the peak of the normal level and the elite level.

Bai Zhi fought with all her might and at the same time fled with Bai Yao.

Although she managed to shake off the Pokémon in the end, she accidentally lost her backpack in the panic and her left arm continued to bleed due to the injury.

All the prepared supplies were lost. Bai Zhi had no choice but to tear off a piece of clothing and simply bandage the wound. Just as the bleeding stopped, a large group of moles were approaching them at an alarming speed not far away.

Although the strongest of these Digletts were only at the peak entry level, their huge numbers caused other Pokémon along the way to avoid them. Bai Zhi could only hold Bai Yao tightly and ran towards the depths of the forest like a headless fly.

However, the deeper they went into the forest, the more powerful the Pokémon that appeared became. When Baizhi was blocked by a mid-elite-level Boskodora, she looked back at the approaching group of rats, her heart filled with despair.
