Adventurer of the Elf World

After all, the format of the stories is the same, similar to what he heard when he was a child, and there are many such stories in this world.

Xiu found that this child was quite interesting, so he simply found a stone to sit down, took out some snacks and started chatting with him.

"Does Ryota still remember the avalanche that day?"

"I don't remember, it's all in the past..." Ryota turned his eyes and looked at the lamb beside him. His words were a little unclear, and only a general idea could be heard.

Ryota was eating snacks in his mouth, and the sheep never stopped eating. After eating, it gently rubbed him and waited for him to feed it.

"Then can Ryota tell me what are the more peculiar places on the mountain?"

When Xiu said this, Ryota didn't care much, and said casually: "It's all snow in winter, and it's all stones at other times. There's nothing fun."

"Did you know that ruins before?"

Xiu looked back while talking, but it was already evening, the light was much worse, and the distance was far, resulting in only a vague shadow.

"I don't know." Ryota shook his head honestly, then looked at Xiu and asked, "Big brother, are you going to the mountain? I can take you there!"

"What did you promise me just now? Did you want me to tell your parents?"

As Xiu waved his hand, he flicked Ryota's forehead lightly, scaring him so much that he held his head and begged for mercy.

"Ah! It hurts so much! I won't go, I won't go."

Of course Xiu knew that this kid was pretending to be in pain, but he didn't care. Instead, he reminded him:

"Okay~ It's getting late, you should go home quickly, remember not to walk around recently, the snow monster on the mountain may be real."

"I know!" Ryota immediately let go of the hand blocking his forehead, and looked at Xiu with a slightly positive mood, and there was no red mark on his forehead, so he was pretending to be in pain just now.

"Then you dare to go up?" Xiu gave him a slap on the backhand.

"No, I...ah!" Ryota was ready to return to defense when he saw Xiu start, but it was obviously not as fast as Xiu, and he took the slap.

Afterwards, Ryota said with a little grievance: "Why can they all go up but I can't go up~"

When Xiu heard this, his expression froze instantly, and he didn't care about playing with Ryota and asked again.

"What did you say just now?"

"When I was herding sheep, I often saw people going into the mountains."

Xiu looked up at the other side of the mountain again, but now the sun was half down, and darkness had begun to slowly occupy, making the entire snow-viewing mountain fall into a hazy, like a phantom.

"Do you remember what those people looked like?"

"I don't know." Ryota seemed to realize that Xiu's attitude had become serious, and he no longer had the joy just now, but asked: "Did something happen?"

"Nothing~"

Xiu shook his head slowly. Obviously, it was already very good for such a child to know this. I'm afraid he didn't care much about this matter. Asking too much was just his lazy thinking.

Xiu suddenly realized something and asked, "When did people from your neighborhood enter the mountain? What was the situation when you saw those people leaving? Were they injured?"

"Few people came here before, but it started to increase after the avalanche. The sound of cars at night often woke up my sheep." Ryota was a little angry when he talked about this.

Xiu finally realized it and took out his notebook to check. He found that he had taken it for granted before and forgot a very important thing.

In fact, the grassland is also a kind of road, and you can cross it directly to reach the north without taking a detour.

They are officials, so of course they can choose to replenish supplies in Bohe Town and then enter the mountain, while some teams drive directly to the foot of the mountain and then go up.

In other words, some treasure hunters or thieves who specialize in this business have set their sights on the ruins on the mountain.

Xiu suppressed his thoughts a little, and then said to Ryota, "It's too late now, you should go home quickly. If you see those people entering the mountain again, don't get close to them. You can come to find me. I'm at..."

Xiu left Ryota the address, gave him some snacks, and then slowly went back to the hotel.

Along the way, he kept thinking about the question just now. Since there is a treasure hunter, it means that the situation may not be as simple as Xiaogang said.

"Xiu!" Xiaogang saw Xiu walking slowly on the street from a distance and came over to greet him.

"Hmm~" Xiu looked up and responded, but found a large group of people gathered in the open space next to the hotel.

There were students and researchers, as well as some local residents.

"What are they doing?" Xiu asked Xiaogang who was walking towards him.

"Young people can't sit still. After a rest, they are full of energy, but they are not allowed to run around, so they can only play here for a while."

"Oh~" Xiu just replied casually, obviously his attention was no longer on this.

"Where are Dr. Endo and the others? I have something to tell you."

"They are all acting as referees, so I'm afraid they won't be available in the short term." Xiaogang looked back and asked, "Is it urgent? I'll go talk to them?"

Xiu paused for a moment and shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no time difference. I'll find a chance to talk to them tomorrow."

Because the situation was not very clear, Xiu didn't need to rush to tell Dr. Endo and the others. I'm afraid he would have to go there for a field inspection tomorrow before making a decision.

Thinking of this, Xiu left Xiaogang and rushed to the hotel.

After all, the elves in the room might be hungry.

When he returned to the room, the situation was similar to when it left. Casey was still trustworthy. With it, there would be no problems. However, the giant claw mantis was obviously training again, but it seemed a little depressed without replenishment.

"Take a break first, and prepare to eat."

Xiu released the sandshrew from the Poké Ball with his backhand, and then prepared dinner for them.

Only after he finished did he have time to go downstairs to the hotel to order some local specialties for himself.

It was already past seven o'clock, but the lights outside the hotel were bright, and there were some shouting.

Xiu sat on the side of the first floor and could see the crowd outside through the glass window.

Fighting first when in doubt, inviting a fight as soon as you meet is an old style.

It's the same now. Xiu suspected that the two teachers were simply looking for reasons to let them fight to consume their energy.

To prevent these people from making trouble in the town.

The fight outside was fierce, while Xiu inside was enjoying dinner slowly. After eating and drinking, he went to the public computer in the lobby.

Recharging money, turning on the computer, and logging in were all done in one go. Xiu, who was sitting in the corner, briefly dealt with the communication with some people.
