Chapter 136: Grass Element Secret Realm·A scattered team?
Unlike the evergreen forest that blends in with the original forest,
What can be called XX secret realm is a native elf world that has its own space.
(That is, the independent space secret realm with fixed channel)
After passing through the "door" one after another, the members of this expedition team gradually arrived.
As Chen An, who was the last to arrive, although he apologized,
It is inevitable that some people will make some strange remarks.
Even though it's not loud, it doesn't sound comfortable.
The convener of the event stood up and said a few words before leading the team forward.
Chen An, who was participating in this kind of expedition team for the second time, couldn't help but subconsciously compare it with the previous one.
[Evergreen Forest - Thousand Faces Evasion Expedition Team] VS [Grass Secret Realm - Unknown Elf Expedition Team] The competition has begun~ (Incorrect)
An unconvincing captain,
Various small groups composed of two or three people,
Some people even glanced at Chen An, who had been delayed for a long time in the review, from time to time.
Looking at the eyes of other elves,
All kinds of small talk that one thinks is quiet but is actually heard clearly.
The overall stiff and awkward atmosphere within the team, etc.
This made Chen An frown uncomfortably;
Compared to Chen An, Chen Xing has naturally seen many more atmosphere inspection teams or travel teams.
...
Because almost all of them were strangers this time, and everyone had a few elves with them.
First, I wanted to find some topics to break the ice.
Secondly, elves are more sensitive to environmental changes than humans.
As for Chen An and Chen Xing, because it was inconvenient for Lucario and Alluredo to show up,
＜Lucario won’t say more, there are only two Eluredo individuals found in the world~＞
Gardevoir acted as the guard elf who showed up.
...
At this time, Gardevoir, who had been following the two aloofly,
Holding a kapok ball and a very rare black Ibrahimovic (Zoroa: Yes, it’s me),
The rare, beautiful, powerful and rare combination has caused many people and elves to try to strike up a conversation.
Unfortunately, they were all separated by Gardevoir's mental barrier a few meters away.
The meaning of this kind of barrier is very simple: if I don’t want to communicate with you, I won’t be polite if you come any closer.
......
Inside the barrier, I ignored the people who came to chat with me.
Chen An and Chen Xing were chatting together in the "online chat channel" built by Tibulim.
It is worth mentioning that compared to before, Tibulim’s mental power has been greatly improved now, and he can already hold two [online chat groups] at the same time.
Gardevoir, who was following the two of them, was teaching her how to do "information filtering"——
For example, Chen An and Chen Xing could not hear a word about the topic of Tibulim and Chen Xi who were chatting happily.
But when Chen An and Chen Xing clicked on them in their chat, they would react immediately.
[An: This single encryption is too much, Xiao Lim. ]
[Xiao Lim & Chen Xi (pretending not to hear)]
[Xing: In fact, Little Lim is very arrogant... (snap)... Oops (being beaten by Little Lim with her little hands)]
Chen Ming (Chen Xing's brother), who was walking in front of them, occasionally turned around.
All they saw were two people and four talking and laughing silently.
.....
After about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the [door] on the second floor.
Second round of review,
Get a positioning bracelet,
Get an emergency ring,
But compared to before, there are two more links this time -
After learning basic commands and body movements, you will receive two traffic elves who are familiar with the secret environment.
...
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing patted Chen An, indicating that it was time for him to choose a mount lamb for preliminary running-in.
Chen An shook his head and continued to communicate with the lamb in front of him.
But in his mind, the person who just handed out the elves was stunned for a moment when he saw his business card, and then said something to his colleagues next to him.
There are two types of traffic elves provided by the grass-type secret realm.
One is a land mount - mount a lamb,
One is the water assistant - horned goldfish,
What they have in common is that they are not high in level (will not arouse hostility from native elves), have a gentle personality (easy to get along with), and are familiar with secret situations (can lead the way and escape), making them suitable for most trainers.
As long as you communicate briefly, understand the necessary body language, and understand the warnings of the elves, you can form a temporary partner.
The two people who brought their own translation plug-ins naturally learned it very quickly, but in order not to stand out, they still performed for a while before putting them into the temporary elf ball.
...
About half an hour later, the group finally found their temporary partners.
He crossed over the vortex of air that shone with strange light and entered the secret realm.
...
With the mount lamb to travel,
People naturally free their legs,
Some chatted while riding on the backs of lambs,
Some rented special seats to lean on the lambs’ backs.
Others rented micro-magnetic carriages and let the lambs drag them forward, while they and the elves were busy in the carriages.
This is not so much an expedition team, but more like a group of travel friends out for fun.
However, the secret realm is relatively safe, and they are not making any noise.
Although the team leader couldn't stand this lazy atmosphere, he didn't say much.
However, just a few hours later, this atmosphere was broken.
...
Because the author is too lazy to think about it,
Green caterpillars, spiny tail worms and other elves are common elves found in almost all secret realms.
It has strong adaptability, wide distribution, considerable population size, and no obvious hostility to humans.
Although their IQ and communication skills are slightly weaker than other elves, their perception of changes in the environment is also first-rate.
The most important thing is that it is easy to find because it is widely distributed.
Therefore, stopping by to visit their habitat is the first stop for many people to enter the secret realm to understand the situation.
However, under the leadership of the horse lamb, they walked through two or three groves and gardens, but no trace of them was found.
Looking at the bite marks still left on the leaves, Chen Ming frowned.
"Judging from the traces on the leaves, these elves have been away for no more than three days."
"The lambs said that their friends who came back from the secret realm at noon the day before yesterday saw the butterflies leaving with their babies,"
With Tiburim and Gardevoir around, Chen An directly told the information provided by the lambs.
"Has the situation changed or..." several people thought,
But the climate in the secret realm itself is unstable, and the migration of one or two small groups can't prove anything.
After struggling for a while, under the urging of several impatient teammates, the group continued walking forward.
...
however.
A few hours later.
on the hill.
Looking at the large forest below the hillside that was almost burnt to charcoal, everyone's expressions became ugly.
Because there are many grass and insect elves living in the grass-type secret realm,
Except for members of the Secret Realm Patrol Team, general applicants are not allowed to bring in fire elves over level 20.
Even the flowers and dancing birds on Chen An's body came in the form of electric + flying elements.
The vast swaths of charred tree trunks in the valley in front of them were definitely not something a level 20 fire elf could do.
The electric type is known for its explosive power. What level is needed to cause such a large-scale impact? Was it an accident?
What’s even weirder is that even though the fire in the woods seems to have been extinguished for a long time, the outside world has never received any news.
Moreover, judging from the nearby traces, no elves have even come back here.
——Did the patrol get into a fight with someone?
——I didn’t even see any elves along the way.
——Such a big thing won’t be blamed on us, right?
...
The noisy voices in the team did not reach the ears of Chen Xing, who was observing the situation.
"The secret patrol team's patrol rhythm is relatively fixed."
"Staggered job changes every three days, group rotations every seven days, and all employees rotate once a month."
"A team went out the day before yesterday. The outside world did not receive any news of this large-scale destruction, which proves that it took less than two days for what happened here."
Listening to Chen Xing's analysis, Chen An didn't look good. He turned on the system and looked around, but the panel was blank.
——Currently, the system can only identify elf information, and the blank panel proves that there are no elf hidden anywhere in sight.
"Want to go over and take a look?" Chen Ming looked at the captain.
Before the captain could speak, the people around him began to quarrel.
The majority of people's opinions are to avoid this inexplicable situation, but the focus of the dispute is whether to continue deeper or return to the original path.
After all, everyone has been preparing for a long time, and the cost of entering the secret realm is also expensive. It is really not acceptable to some people to leave within a day after entering;
The other part who just wanted stability firmly stated that they would not move forward, at least go back and report the situation to the patrol team, and wait until they confirmed that there was no problem before taking the next step;
There was nothing the captain could do about this.
This team is all applied as individuals and then assembled into a team. He has no compulsory arrangements for other people.
Seeing such a chaotic team, several people also had a headache.
This kind of team is okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, it will be a mess.
...
》The expedition team that Chen An was in before was to first determine the members - submit applications together - gather together, undergo inspection together - enter the secret realm together) - everyone must obey the captain's arrangements and cannot leave the team without permission.
》This time the team submitted their own application - each prepared their own things - each received inspection - gathered at the place agreed upon by themselves) - everyone can leave the team at any time.
