Adventurer of the Elf World

After a brief rest, Xiu found the direction he had determined yesterday, and then continued to move towards the depths of the mountains.

When he was going down the mountain, he soon discovered something unusual.

There were many iron pupae, the evolved form of unicorn beetles, hanging on the trees on the mountain. They were hanging themselves on the trees with silk threads, like wind chimes, swaying slightly with the wind.

Is there anything strange about this? Green caterpillars grow in any place with green plants, so its evolved form is the same.

And why didn't we see such an exaggerated density when we went up the mountain? It may be that most of the elves fled here yesterday, so there seemed to be more iron pupae.

Xiu thought about it for a while and still approached to take a closer look, but the iron pupae on the trees may have been startled by him, and they all opened their eyes and squirmed their bodies.

Xiu saw this scene and had no intention of approaching, and planned to retreat according to the principle of non-contact.

But his departure did not calm the iron pupae down, on the contrary, it became more and more intense, and the shaking body pulled the connecting silk threads tight.

And it was like an infection, causing the entire tree of metal pupae to start shaking.

One may not have much impact on the tree, but it is hard to say if there are more than a dozen, and the branches are also moving.

Xiu seemed to realize that he had touched something, but he did not make any more moves. Instead, he borrowed Casey's ability to cover up their traces.

He took out the illustrations and began to record this strange scene that he had never seen before.

Sure enough, the abnormality did not last long. A subtle light burst out from the gap of one of the metal pupae's body, and the guy seemed to be suffering from some kind of pain. He closed his eyes again and his body moved more violently.

But then the other metal pupae on the tree seemed to be infected, and all of them began to burst out with light, and it became more and more intense. Soon, the very familiar essence light enveloped them.

Xiu seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes left his eyes and looked around. Just this one look gave him goose bumps, and a certain excitement and curiosity took the initiative.

Because everywhere he looked, there were similar scenes, and those silent metal pupae were moving towards the next stage.

Xiu handed the atlas to Casey, and he took out his camera to take pictures to get a clearer evolution process.

Xiu had seen many evolution processes, but this one was particularly long, and the state it showed was not as easy as those Pokémon he had seen before. Instead, it reminded him of the evolution of the giant claw mantis.

It was also this long and difficult.

Xiu did not rush to check and intervene, but stood calmly in place to do the record work.

Like most cases, as time went by, the light emitted from the gaps became stronger and stronger, until a certain moment Xiu suddenly heard the sound of something cracking in his ears, and it was not just a little bit, but a sound like frying popcorn with no regularity but extremely dense.

That was the sound of the shell of the metal pupae beginning to crack. Xiu could see that the light on most of the metal pupae was no longer limited to the gaps, but began to spread to the whole body along the cracks.

But the movements of those metal pupae did not stop, but became more intense, as if they were fighting desperately.

Soon the sound of the explosion gradually decreased until it subsided, and the brilliance of the metal pupae gradually escaped from the gaps and enveloped them.

But a scene that surprised Xiu appeared. A Pidgeot that had been lurking here for some time flew out and directly took a pupa from the tree.

And this was just the beginning. Gradually, all kinds of strange elves appeared from nowhere and used various methods to catch the metal pupae that were still evolving. Some even ate them and took them. Even Xiu frowned when he saw it.

But he still resisted and did not take action, but returned everything to nature.

The elves have no concept of good and evil, they just want to survive.

Nature has its own laws of operation. As an adventurer who goes deep into the wild, the first rule to abide by is not to interfere with destruction without reason.

Those metal pupae whose shells have not yet broken or whose light has not yet completely covered them burst out with a stronger desire to survive under the stimulation of these foreign elves, and the progress that was originally slower than the previous one was forced to catch up.

As far as Xiu's eyes could see, there were balls of light, and most of the elves who took the opportunity to get a bargain had already retreated, leaving only a few greedy ones who wanted to get more.

As if he had sensed something, Xiu looked up at the first Metapod that was shining brightly. The previous episode did not interrupt its evolution, but pushed it to the peak. The extreme brilliance seemed to be condensed into substance.

As he looked over, the brilliance suddenly converged and turned into a light cocoon that enveloped it. Xiu couldn't tell what was happening inside, but the energy fluctuations emitted were definitely enhanced.

When the light cocoon gradually became thinner, the pupa-shaped creature slowly stretched out two wide wings, and when the wings flapped slightly, the brilliance attached to it finally broke into starlight.

A Butterfree appeared in the air. Looking at its elegant posture of flapping its wings, it was hard to imagine that it was still in the Caterpillar and Metapod period.

Butterfree was basically a butterfly with a blue-purple body.

However, unlike the butterflies in Xiu's impression, Butterfree had some strange features.

For example, it has hands and feet, both indigo blue, and a big nose of the same color. Below the nose is a small mouth with two protruding fangs at the corners of the mouth.

The most prominent feature of the head of the Butterfree is a pair of red compound eyes, and above is a pair of slender antennae with water droplets at the end.

Of course, the reason why Butterfree can change from crawling on the ground to flying in the sky is because of the pair of wings with black stripes on its back.

Because it was close enough, Xiu could see the thick scales on the wings and the slender hairs on the feet.

When the first Butterfree appeared, the surrounding metal cocoons seemed to be summoned and condensed into light cocoons, and then broke out of them and became Butterfree flying in the air.

As the number of Butterfree increased, the elves who had not left yet were in trouble.

The scales they dropped when they flew were not very visible for one or two, but when the number increased, they directly covered the entire mountain, and those who did not have time to escape were all stuck in it and could not move.

As expected, this ability is very scary at any time.

Fortunately, the shield that Casey held up can directly block this interference, otherwise he would have run away.
