Adventurer of the Elf World

"It's normal that you don't know about this business. Once the Ruins Alliance is discovered, they will definitely be the first group of people to come. The snowy mountain environment is very difficult and dangerous in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not a problem for trainers.

After they study it, it will be our turn as an academic research team to clean up and make detailed records and research."

As he said this, Xiao Gang's face also showed a hint of ridicule, saying:

"After the first echelon has looted, there will basically be nothing left in the ruins, whether it is good or dangerous. So this kind of mission usually deals with wild Pokémon, which is very low in danger.

Otherwise, why do you think Dr. Endo dared to lead the team directly? You know, there are many students here?"

After hearing this, Xiu also nodded mechanically.

That's right, everything has been looted, and no one wants to touch this kind of team with an official background without benefits.

No wonder the two teachers just now accepted Dr. Endo's plan so directly, it turns out that they are not worried about problems.

As a tourist area, there are actually not many Pokémon here.

Even if there are, they will not be very powerful. As long as you don't get close to the mountains, it is still very safe on the periphery.

Xiu's complaints were only in his heart. Xiaogang, who was walking beside him, didn't see any reaction from him.

"Tomorrow is probably when we move the supplies up, but it's not the time to officially start the investigation. You don't have to rush to go?" Xiaogang suddenly said.

Xiu frowned and wanted to refuse directly, but his lips moved slightly and he changed his words: "It depends on the situation..."

But Xiaogang's words reminded Xiu again, so he raised his hand and patted Xiaogang's shoulder and said.

"You go back with the doctor first, I'll walk around."

Xiaogang was also a little confused and stunned for a moment, but thinking of Xiu's identity, he didn't say much, just added one sentence.

"Okay, I'll go back first, tell me if there is anything."

Xiu turned and walked towards the snow-viewing mountain.

Of course, he only had a sandrat in his hand, so he didn't get too excited.

He just wanted to determine the location of the ruins, or whether there was anything abnormal around.

As mentioned at the beginning, Bohe Town was not far from the foot of the mountain, so Xiu could see the situation of the snow-viewing mountain in its entirety just by walking out of the town.

He had seen photos of winter, with snow all over the place, and everything around was covered with snow.

But now the snow line has passed the mountainside, and there is a touch of green below, but it is mostly grass and shrubs.

There are some coniferous forests scattered on the mountain.

Mint Town is to the east of the snow-viewing mountain, and the ruins are to the north, so Xiu also took some time to walk slowly over.

It was a collapsed coniferous forest, with a small piece of black in the middle, and the more detailed situation was beyond the naked eye.

And there was snow on it, and what could be seen was only exposed.

But you can also roughly see some things that seem to be true or not...

"What are you doing here?" A child wearing local clothes came over, and there was a sheep beside him.

It was a Meli sheep, and Xiu was quite familiar with this one.

Most of the body was covered with a lot of hair, and from the exposed face and legs, it can be seen that this guy's skin is dark blue.

Its ears and tail are both yellow and black, and the shape of the ears is conical, and there is an orange spherical object at the end of its tail.

But that was a normal Meli sheep.

The hair on the sheep in front of Xiu had been shaved, and then it grew a little, so it looked very inconsistent.

"Little brother, who are you?"

"I am Ryota!" The little boy said very confidently, and he patted the Meli sheep next to him and said, "This is my friend, Meli sheep."

"Does Ryota live nearby?" Xiu looked at the child in front of him, who was about five or six years old, and squatted down to ask.

"My home is over there." Ryota turned around and pointed in the direction behind him, "Do you want to come to my house to play?"

"No, don't bring strangers home." Xiu shook his head slowly, but this child was quite interesting.

"Mom said that you can bring friends home to play!" The little boy seemed to be explaining.

"Haha! Yes, you can." Xiu smiled and said, "But I have something to do today, I will definitely do it next time."

"No one has come to play with me recently... They don't dare to come..."

The little boy seemed a little frustrated, and the Meli sheep next to him saw him rubbing over and touched Ryota with his cheek, then stretched out his tongue to lick his face.

"Haha! Mee-mee, don't do that~" Ryota raised his hand to push it away, but Mee-li sheep licked it again, and so on.

Xiu Jiu watched from the side with a smile on his face.

It's good to be carefree.

After a while, the two of them finished playing, and Ryota pushed Mee-li sheep away and looked at Xiu with some curiosity.

"What is big brother doing here?"

"Does Ryota know what that is on the mountain?" Xiu didn't say much, but turned around and pointed to the black piece on it and asked.

"I know! I went up there when I was herding sheep before." Ryota said proudly, "There is no place around here that I haven't been to."

Just after saying this, Ryota was a little panicked. He realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. He glanced around and said carefully, his eyes rolling and said: "Dad will definitely spank me if he knows I went up there, big brother, don't tell him."

Xiu was curious about why he suddenly became like this, but when he heard this, he smiled helplessly.

"Okay, I promise you not to tell your dad, but you have to promise me not to run around in the future, you know, the mountain is very dangerous."

Ryota hesitated for a moment, and there were signs of struggle on his face, obviously making a choice between not going up the mountain to play and being spanked by his father.

After a while, he said in a frustrated tone: "Okay, but remember not to tell Dad that I secretly went up the mountain."

"That's right~ The mountain is dangerous, and your dad is just afraid that you will get hurt." Xiu smiled and reached out to touch the child's head.

Ryota didn't dodge, but after hearing what Xiu said, he complained stubbornly: "Where is the danger? Dad has always said that there is a snow monster that likes to eat people on the mountain, but MeeMee and I didn't see it when we went up the mountain~"

"Snow monster?" Xiu keenly sensed the problem and asked curiously: "What is a snow monster? What does it look like?"

"A snow monster is a snow monster!" Ryota shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I heard from my dad that it seems to be a monster that likes to eat people. It will catch disobedient children and take them back to its home, and then eat them. If it can't finish eating, it will freeze it for next time."

After hearing this, Xiu was thoughtful.

It sounds like this is just a monster made up to fool children, but... it seems to be a story to deceive children...
