Adventurer of the Elf World

Paras's two glass-like eyes turned and stopped in front of the rations.

Just when Xiu thought the deal was successful, Casey's telepathy suddenly came.

"It disagrees, it says they don't need these."

"Huh?" Xiu didn't understand these things. Doesn't Paras eat rations?

There's no reason. Even grass-type elves eat rations, why doesn't Paras eat them? What is this mouth for?

"Help me connect to Paras. I want to ask something." Xiu gave Casey a command with a puzzled mind.

"Kachakaka."

"What?" Xiu felt what Paras meant, but there was always a very stiff feeling, intermittent.

"Reject... reject."

"Why reject? If you don't like it, you can change to another flavor. I have many kinds." Xiu didn't want to lose this opportunity. Although Paras looked quite ordinary, it could only be encountered in the dark forest, especially when there were several of them.

"Food... digested... can't."

"Can't digest?" Xiu listened to Paras' words with great difficulty, and guessed that he understood.

Why can't digest? Xiu's curiosity was aroused.

And Paras also felt that the human in front of him had suddenly changed.

Xiu spent a long time communicating with this Paras and finally figured out why it said that.

The nearby Paras continued their daily activities - eating when they saw that Xiu was not a threat.

Because the mushrooms on their backs require a lot of nutrition, Paras have to spend most of their time eating every day.

It turns out that they eat the roots of plants. Eating every day causes the trees to die soon because the roots are damaged. At this time, they will move to the next tree.

When they were young, the nearby resources could still support them, but when they gradually increased their appetite, it was no longer possible.

So they changed their way of eating.

Through skills to absorb the energy and juice of plants, this will not cause so much damage to the plants, and they can recover in a short period of time, and they will change to another tree after staying under a tree for a period of time.

This approach will not cause the plants to die, and it can also maintain the lives of Paras.

However, this also caused the digestive system of Paras to degenerate, and they can only accept liquid food and life energy.

When Xiu heard this, he knew that he had discovered a very interesting phenomenon. No wonder Paras in other places would not appear in large numbers. It turned out to be a food problem.

Now that the reason is known, how can Xiu obtain spore powder?

This Paras had long been impatient with Xiu's questions and crawled back to the roots of the tree.

Xiu was not in a hurry. He had no time limit anyway, so he could use this opportunity to observe Paras's eating situation.

It happened that Pokémon like Paras were not good at fighting and were all vegetarians. The appearance of Paras meant that the area was still quite safe, so it was just right to set up a camp here to spend the long night.

On the other hand, even if something happened, Xiu could guarantee that he only had to run faster than them.

This is a little trick in the wild. Because it is generally impossible for people to stay alert in the wild, setting up a camp near gentle and non-aggressive Pokémon can borrow them for protection.

You can also temporarily hire wild Pokémon to help keep watch. At that time, Professor Oak suggested that Xiu go to capture a nocturnal Pokémon, such as Night Owl or Big Mouth Bat.

It's just that Xiu and the elves just let it go and didn't have much desire to recover.

In fact, it was mainly because they had already involved too much of his energy, and it was difficult for Xiu to spend time on other elves.

Xiu checked his own resources. Because he had just come out, he still had plenty of water and food, so he didn't need to find a water source.

As for the camp, Xiu chose to be nearby, which would be convenient for him to observe Paras.

After thinking it over, Xiu immediately took action, released all the elves, and then took out the tent and started to assemble.

The little lucky egg was fine, but as soon as the giant claw mantis came out, Xiu felt that it and Paras had an inexplicable vigilance.

"Relax, don't be so nervous." Xiu went over to comfort the flying mantis.

The biggest change during this period was not Casey, but the flying mantis.

Xiu saw the strong adaptability and growth rate of the elves in it.

To put it in a more practical way, the strength of the giant claw mantis has reached a bottleneck again.

After Xiu calmed the giant claw mantis down, he also had to prepare dinner for the three elves.

"Come on, let's eat." Xiu took out their bowls and poured the rations he had prepared long ago.

Before he came out, he had prepared a lot of rations, enough for them to eat for a long time.

Of course, it was not enough to just eat rations. In order to supplement some elements, Xiu also prepared fruits for them.

Xiu still had this kind of thing, and a lot of it. In addition to ordinary fruits, he also prepared a lot of other common tree fruits, especially blue oranges and red apples.

It's strange to say that the smaller the red apple is, the sweeter it is, but it will change its taste when it grows up.

The elves had rations and fruits, while Xiu had a simple dinner, without too many exquisite meals, only dry food, canned food, and cooking packs.

When Xiu and the others were eating, what Xiu didn't expect was that a Paras came over.

This one is not the one that I just communicated with Xiu, that one only has two mushrooms on its back, but this one only has one mushroom on its back, and its body is much smaller.

Now it's Xiu's turn to be curious. It doesn't want to eat its rations, so why is it here?

Xiu does know something about the situation. When you eat in the wild, you may attract some elves to come over to eat, but this situation is not common.

Because not all elves will be close to humans, especially when elves in the wild are very wary of humans.

Xiu followed Paras's eyes and looked at the fruit he had just cut.

Xiu prepared this for himself. Casey and the others had already eaten and drank enough.

Just now, Paras was not interested in the rations, which made him unable to start. Now that Paras is interested in fruits, it is equivalent to opening a door for Xiu.

It's good if there's demand, it's much better than those that don't have enough oil and salt.

Thinking of this, Xiu quickly pulled Casey over to act as a translator.

"Do you want this?" Xiu waved a piece in front of it.

After some exchanges, Xiu finally figured out the purpose of this Paras.

But what surprised Xiu was that what Paras was interested in was not the fruit, but the two leftover fruit cores he had just eaten.

Xiu also discovered a very interesting problem. This Paras is better at expressing than the other one, and its movements are also more flexible.
