Pokemon Settler

Heiluga was left by Rock on the river bank because he had to take care of the bacon.

The Arbo monster and Chenglong ran away to nowhere, so Rock just set off with Geranium.

Of course, they are not going to fight the giant beast in the bay, they just want to steal some sea salt or seawater from the bay, so they don't need to go to so many elves, only Rock and Geranium are enough.

Be careful...let me observe first.

In a small birch forest downstream of the Jingkong River, Rock and Geranium were hiding behind a small bush full of purple berries.

Rock bent down, opened half a gap in the bushes with his hands, and furtively observed the situation outside the birch forest through the gap.

Gamai...

Geranium, which was so big that it could only lie on the ground, also wanted to squeeze in and take a look, but when it pushed Rock with its head, it found that it couldn't push him, so it had to withdraw its head.

At this moment, a strong sweet smell suddenly penetrated Geranium's nostrils, causing it to twitch its nose.

Sniff, sniff.

Gamai?

The geranium discovered that the sweet smell was coming from the ripe berries on the bush next to it.

It glanced at Rock and found that Rock was still bent over to observe the situation attentively, so driven by curiosity, he opened his mouth and bit a berry.

Gama~

A sweet and sour taste bloomed on the tip of the tongue. The taste of this purple berry made the geranium's eyes light up. It immediately ate the berries one after another towards the bush.

Swish, swish.

Um?!

After observing the situation and feeling that everything was normal, Rock was about to let Geranium continue to move forward.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of branches and leaves being rubbed, ringing in his ears without warning.

This made Rock feel a little suspicious for a moment.

Geranium! Be careful! Hurry... uh...

Nervous, Rock quickly rolled backwards and shouted a warning to Geranium.

However, when he looked up, he found that the one making the strange rustling sound was actually a geranium eating berries.

Uh-huh? Uh-huh~

The bulging-mouthed geranium looked at Rock who rolled suddenly, with the same confused look on his face. Seeing that Rock seemed to be looking at the berries he was eating, he stretched out his vine whip and picked a branch full of berries. Passed it to Rock.

call-

It turned out to be a false alarm, which made Rock relieved. He took the berries that Geranium handed him, picked one and tasted it. He found that it tasted really good, so he picked off all the berries on the branch and stuffed it into his mouth.

Uh-huh~ Okay, we...uh-huh, we can set off.

Rock, whose mouth also became bulging, dropped the branch in his hand, leaned down on Geranium's back, and quietly signaled it to continue setting off.

Gamai!

Geranium also responded in a low voice, then gently stood up from the ground, lowered its neck and ran towards a hill in the distance.

Despite their rhetoric before setting off, Rock and Geranium became very cautious once they really set off towards the bay.

Since the last encounter with the giant beast on the coast, Rock and the elves have never been here again, and they even deliberately don't go near this place in the pasture.

During this period, only Chenglong would occasionally swim secretly from the Jingkong River, steal some seaweed needed for growth near the entrance of the Jingkong River, and then leave quickly.

To be on the safe side, Rock also planned to see if he could steal some natural sea salt near the estuary. If not, he would pack some sea water.

There are a lot of wild elves near the mouth of the sea. Once the giant is nearby, those wild elves can give Rock an early warning, and even if it doesn't work well, they can also provide a certain cover.

Although Geranium ran with a low body, its speed was not slow at all despite the risk of encountering a giant creature in the bay at any time, and it quickly reached the northern slope of the hill.

In order to reduce the risk of exposure along the way, Rock and the others have been moving along the woods scattered in the pasture.

After arriving at this hill, the vegetation on it became much sparser.

But Rock and Geranium no longer need to hide, because on the other side of the hills is the mouth of the Jingkong River.

At this time, at the top of the hill, Rock and Geranium were lying on the ground, with their two heads exposed and looking down.

Perhaps because it has entered autumn, the number of wild elves in the estuary today is not as large as when Rock came before.

But it wasn't that there were none. At this time, there were still some white sea lions basking in the sun and Slowpoke fishing on the rocks on the coast. This discovery made Rock temporarily relieved.

He nodded slightly to Geranium, then leaned against Geranium's side, bent slightly, and walked slowly down the hill.

The shape of the geranium is still somewhat camouflaged from a distance, so Roque took advantage of this insignificant advantage.

They walked from the hills to the coast without any danger, and quickly searched on the rocks on the shore.

Quickly, let's look at the higher rocks first.

He didn't feel it when he was in the pasture before, but when he walked to the flat and open coast, without the cover of the forest, and facing the vast deep blue sea, Rock suddenly felt that his heart was beating very fast, and there was a kind of An inexplicable feeling of guilty conscience.

Fortunately, his sanity was not lost.

Sea salt requires seawater to be exposed to sunlight for a long time and the water will evaporate before it precipitates.

Therefore, the first place Rock and Geranium looked for was the relatively high reef areas along the coast. These places were crisscrossed with ravines and were the areas most likely to trap seawater during high tides or waves.

Of course, this is not absolute. Whether you can actually find naturally formed sea salt still requires a certain amount of luck.

After some searching, Rock discovered that their luck today had been exhausted because they did not encounter the giant creature in the bay.

But he discovered something else very interesting.

Is this... a shell?

At this time, what was in front of Rock was a gray-white giant reef. At first glance, except for its special color, this giant reef was no different from other rocks of various shapes along the coast.

At first, Rock thought that the gray-white reef looked like this because of the sea salt attached to it, but when he walked in, he found that this was not the case.

This gray-white reef is actually formed by pieces of gray-white fan-shaped shells extruded, stacked and glued together.

On the surface of the reef, there are some shells with relatively complete shapes. The general outline and shape are somewhat like the carapace of the giant tongue oyster. There are also two spikes on both sides of the shell, but the color is off-white.

Could it be formed by the accumulation of corpses of big-tongued clams over time?

Rock knocked on a gray-white shell that had been tightly combined with the reef, and secretly guessed in his heart.

Now is not the time for research. There are many such shell reefs nearby. Now that he has figured out that there is no sea salt attached to them, he is not going to waste time on them anymore.

Maybe these shell reefs will be of some use in the future, but the most important thing right now is to get salt.

The effect of enclosing a bear's heart is to make people bolder, because there is a saying that eating a bear's heart gives you a leopard's courage.

Have you guys thought of my joke? ()
