Adventurer of the Elf World

Early in the morning, Xiu heard the noise below and got up.

You can see Senming and Liuzhi preparing tools and breakfast and lunch.

"Would you like to join us? I'll take you to the orchard." Senming said casually when he saw Xiu getting up.

"Okay!" Xiu agreed casually. He was also a little interested in this orchard. The fruits he ate last night proved that the environment here was indeed a bit strange, otherwise such good fruits could not be grown.

Xiu watched Senming and his wife prepare things at the door. They would stay in the orchard almost all day, so in addition to tools, they had to bring two meals.

Because they were in a hurry, they had to eat breakfast on the way.

People gathered in the small open space at the head of the village in groups of three or two. Everyone was familiar with each other, talking and laughing, and Xiu was introduced to the villagers by Senming.

No surprise, Xiu went to the orchard with the villagers.

On the way, Xiu heard the villagers praising the orchard again. Although he had heard it twice yesterday, he still showed enough patience.

This behavior made him quite popular among the villagers, especially the identity of a traveler, which was also a different kind of shock for this village where not many people had ever been out.

Therefore, an old lady came over and said she wanted to introduce a girl to him, which frightened him so much that he immediately became obedient and did not show too much.

In fact, it was mainly because the girl the old lady introduced was a little scary. After seeing her, Xiu even doubted whether he could beat her.

Along the mountain road that had been trampled for many years, the people walked to the other side of the mountain like a snake...

"Grandpa! Where did my brother go?" Xianzhi got up in a daze, with two black circles on his face.

"Xiu went to the orchard with your father a long time ago. If you want to go, go to the orchard to find him." The old man habitually knocked on his pipe.

"Oh~" Xianzhi agreed casually, and it was obvious that he had not woken up yet.

He did not sleep all night last night. After all, the conversation last night really made him itchy and he wanted to go to school immediately.

…………

After walking on the mountain road for about half an hour, Xiu finally arrived at the orchard.

This orchard is quite large, located on a flat land, surrounded by a circle of cleared open space with some simple obstacles.

Looking around, some of the fruit trees have grown very large, obviously for many years, while some are seedlings half a person's height.

Unlike those old trees that grow irregularly, the distance and layout between these fruit tree seedlings are planned, and there are obvious signs of human intervention.

Of course, the fruit is in the central area.

"Come, I'll show you the orchard." Senming took the lead as soon as he entered the orchard, just like returning home.

Everyone separated as soon as they entered the orchard, and now it's important to do business.

"Uncle, you go ahead, I'll just walk around by myself." Xiu declined Senming's kindness, because he knew that if the trees wanted to bear good fruit, there were important things to do, especially during this period of time.

Xiu learned from the old man yesterday that villagers don't have to go up the mountain every day, but during this period of time every year, the elves such as caterpillars and unicorns will reproduce in large numbers.

The green caterpillars are small elves that don't require much food, but they can eat. They eat every day as long as they are awake, and they will evolve only when they have enough nutrition stored. This period of time will last about one to two weeks.

In order to protect the orchard, the villagers will go to the orchard to deal with the green caterpillars every time at this time, which is what they are doing now.

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can go over there to find us. Just ask anyone and you will know. If you are tired, you can sit in that hut."

Senming raised his hand and pointed to a hut on the slope in the distance. It looked like the hut was also newly built, made of logs, simple but sturdy.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore." Xiu nodded to them and then wandered around.

Most of the fruit trees that have grown here are very mixed, with ordinary fruits, blue oranges, red apples and other fruit trees, and of course there are other mixed, but not many.

Maybe a batch of fruits were harvested not long ago, so the fruits on the fruit trees here are of different maturity.

Some are already ripe, while others have just grown.

Xiu has eaten a lot of blue oranges, so he has done some research on them. In terms of appearance, the blue oranges here tend to be round and are relatively large.

The wild ones tend to be oval and much smaller.

Compared with the wild ones, whether the ones in the orchard are delicious or not is another matter, but they look good anyway.

I didn't notice it much outside just now, but when I walked into the middle area where the old trees were, Xiu found traces of elves.

And they are a very common kind of elves in Evergreen Forest, that is, Bobo.

And these Bobo don't seem to be afraid of people. The villagers are watering, weeding, and pruning branches and leaves on the side, and those Bobo are still looking for food on the ground. The two are very harmonious.

It is a very interesting phenomenon that people and nature live in harmony.

Seeing this, Xiu's mouth curled up slightly.

But before he could be too happy, he heard shouts. Turning his head, some adult men among the villagers suddenly gathered, holding some tools of insect catching boys in their hands and walking out of the orchard. Xiu rushed over there out of curiosity.

"They are coming, hurry up!"

"They are coming! They are coming!"

"Go over here and stop them."

After Xiu arrived, he found a very strange phenomenon. The villagers came to the outside of the orchard and were chasing and intercepting the green caterpillars with tools.

The caterpillar was lying on the tree eating leaves, and did not react much to the villagers' siege.

The villagers showed no mercy and threw the net over its head.

The caterpillar was not a pushover either. When the tool touched it, it used [Spit Silk] towards the crowd, and the snow-white silk thread came out of its mouth, trying to entangle the villagers.

Unfortunately, the villagers had been prepared for this. The other two people stretched out long poles and pulled them up to cross in front of them, and the silk thread that was ejected was entangled on it and lost its effect.

In other words, the villagers just used a simple method to break this trick.

At the same time, the other person holding the net also put the caterpillar into the net and pulled it down from the tree.

Then the man took the net with the caterpillar back to the orchard, shook out the caterpillar and threw it on the ground.

Xiu was more or less confused when he saw this scene.

Before he could react more, the tree canopy above the caterpillar immediately made a sound as soon as the caterpillar landed, and then several poppies jumped out and pecked at the caterpillar like flying.

The scene was quite bloody. Xiu watched as the caterpillar's body was pecked open. During the scramble, the caterpillar was torn into several pieces by several bobos' sharp claws. The green body fluids were directly splashed on the ground, and a smell like crushed leaves and grass emanated from it.
