Adventurer of the Elf World

A cool breeze went straight to my heart, eliminating the slight heat accumulated from walking.

Xiu raised his hand to wipe the remaining water drops on his face, then stood up and measured the stream with his eyes, muttering: "This direction flows into the Evergreen Forest."

Looking at the direction of the stream, it is indeed one of the streams that feed the Evergreen Forest.

However, Xiu's eyes suddenly stopped, stopped at a place on the river bank, and then his eyes combed around.

He walked slowly to the other side when he found nothing unusual.

He made another discovery, this stream had been occupied.

And it was not occupied by other Pokémon, but by Beedrill.

Xiu squatted down and looked at the grass in front of him. This grass is famous. It likes to grow in cool and humid places. It is often seen at low waterside or gloomy swamps. It is slightly poisonous. People will not have any problems if they eat a small amount. At most, they will have diarrhea.

But these are not the problems. The problem is that this plant is the favorite snack of Beedrill, and it is also the source of toxins accumulated by wild Beedrills, so it often appears near the nest of Beedrill.

It is not known whether the giant bee was attracted by this plant, or whether this plant was transplanted here by the giant bee. Don't think this statement is funny, the elves are not stupid.

Xiu looked at the grass by the stream and found traces of biting in some of them. Looking at the number, there are enough nests for thirty members on both sides of the river.

Although he is not afraid, he is sure to escape even if he encounters it, but it is obviously not in his mind to make trouble.

"Forget it~" Xiu hesitated for a moment, but finally left here.

Although he was a little curious about the group structure and habits of the giant bee, they would definitely not welcome him to approach with their attitude towards the territory.

Moreover, the giant bee is a thing with synchronized hatred. Provoking one is equivalent to being hostile to all the giant bees in the group.

These guys have a bad temper and are often fearless in fighting with invaders. Unless Xiu kills them all or escapes a certain distance, they will not stop.

Of course, there will also be people who are specially organized to find small giant bee groups to eliminate them.

There are tasks to clear hidden dangers around the city, and also for the materials and eggs of the giant bee.

But Xiu didn't pursue these things, so naturally he didn't want to get entangled with the giant bee.

After leaving the stream, he headed north, and it was another half-day of boring travel. In the forest, Xiu gradually found traces of human activities, such as man-made objects hanging on the trees.

Xiu found an opportunity, climbed up a tree, and looked into the distance, but he didn't find any traces of a village, but he saw a house, a lonely wooden house.

Most people would definitely not dare to live in the wild like this, only trainers, or forest rangers arranged by the alliance in the Evergreen Forest.

Then the answer is very clear, that is the forest ranger's house.

Do you want to meet him?

Xiu, squatting on the tree, stared at the wooden house, and had some calculations in his mind. He immediately jumped down from the tree and walked straight over without covering anything.

It wasn't long before Xiu arrived in front of the wooden house. As usual, he walked around the house first, but he soon found that he seemed to be wrong again. This house should be abandoned.

It turned out that there should be some small props near the house to drive away elves or remind people, but most of them were out of service because no one maintained them.

Although I don't know the exact time, it has been more than half a year.

Knowing that no one was there, Xiu didn't hesitate to get close to the wooden house to see its full view.

It was a bit like the wooden house he had in the wilderness, but this one was much bigger. It might be that the wood used was locally sourced, so the quality was better, and it was still preserved even if no one maintained it.

The forest was originally humid. Even if someone maintained this kind of wooden house, it would only have a lifespan of three to five years. If no one maintained it, once it encountered floods or heavy rains, it would be enough to rot after being soaked for a few months.

There was no human damage, and no elves destroyed this place, at least there was no large-scale damage, which means that it was voluntarily evacuated.

Xiu quickly deduced why this place was abandoned based on these circumstances.

The reason is that the Evergreen Forest was in chaos last year, and the forest rangers were injured. Recently, because of the Hunters and Team Rocket, most of the forest rangers were transferred to guard the important territory of the Alliance, so this insignificant station was naturally abandoned.

But it was getting late now, and it was just right for him. He had a shelter tonight.

After Xiu checked and confirmed that there were no traces of humans around, he took out the Poké Ball and released Casey and the others.

After Casey came out, he opened his eyes and looked around, then raised his little hand, and a stone broke away from Xiu and came to his hand, and the stone immediately emitted blue light, like breathing, one rising and the other falling.

Xiu didn't react to this. It was the meteorite from before. According to the previous idea, Casey relied on this to consume part of his superpowers to maintain his own stability.

"Let's go and see what's in there." Xiu said and walked towards the wooden house.

Just now, he only dared to wander around the periphery. Now that Casey is by his side, he dares to observe other places while walking.

"Weeds are everywhere. Is this the power of nature?" Xiu looked at the traces on the ground. There were obvious traces around the house. It should have been the main area of ​​that person's activities, but now it is overgrown with weeds, just like an ordinary place.

The design of the wooden house is a bit like that of a stilt house. The house is not directly in contact with the ground, but is supported by several logs in the ground, so you have to go up a small staircase before you can get outside.

"Is anyone there~" Xiu called out as he got closer.

Sure enough, no one responded.

He knew there was no one here, so he wanted to remind the elves who might be hiding inside to avoid a surprise meeting.

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement inside, Xiu glanced at Casey, and there was a slight sound from the latch.

He didn't knock on the door, just pushed it towards the door, and it opened before he even tried hard.

Xiu glanced at Casey next to him, and seeing that it didn't warn him, he walked in.

Now it was daytime, and sunlight kept coming in, so he could see the internal structure clearly.

There was nothing else except a bed, a cabinet, a table, and an iron stove.

Xiu didn't care, and started to search the wooden house, but he stopped after a while.

Most of the things were taken away, and those that were not taken away were also burned.

Xiu looked at the embers in the stove, which were all charcoal fire. It should be the place where the forest rangers on duty lived.

Everything was looted, but Xiu didn't react to it. He didn't plan to get anything here.

Without hope, there is naturally no disappointment.
