Elf: Chosen Ranger

Chapter 45 Corundum
King Kong Settlement is the stronghold of the King Kong team located next to Lizhi Lake. It is backed by mineral-rich back mountains and there are golden plains suitable for growing crops nearby. It is a rare excellent settlement in Honglian Wetland.

Huo Xia's return had a great impact on the King Kong team members. It was the first time for them to see such a terrifying Pokémon, so much so that they ran into the team leader's tent to report without even saying hello.

"Gang Shi, it's not good, Huo Xia."

The man sitting in the room studying Ibrahimovic has a hair color that is a mixture of dark blue, sky blue, and grass green. He is wearing a dark blue robe with the King Kong team logo. He is the leader of the King Kong team, Kong Shi.

When he heard the man's voice, he raised his head and raised his hand to signal the panicked man to calm down.

"Don't panic. Didn't Huo Xia go looking for the tribute from Queen Sandao? Did something happen to her?"

The man swallowed and continued: "No, no, she is a nice person, but she brought back a very dangerous Pokémon. What should I do?"

"Hey, isn't this a good thing?" Gang Shi stood up, "The fact that there is no movement now proves that the other party is not hostile. Well, is it Huo Xiaxin's friend? Time is really amazing. I haven't seen her for just a few days. The changes have been so dramatic.”

Gangshi smiled boldly, and then walked out of the tent. Then he understood why the man was so panicked. The huge body was taller than the house. The sticky dragon exuded full wildness mixed with the majesty of the dragon, making people endure it. Trembling.

However, Gang Shi only hesitated for a moment before taking big steps towards Huo Xia. Next to her stood a black-haired young man dressed in a strange way. Well, a foreign traveler?
"Hey, Huo Xia, welcome back. Can you introduce the partners you've met?" Gang Shi waved his hand in greeting.
"Ah, oh, this is Xia Ye. The traveler I met on the road helped me a lot. This is Pa Dong Monkey, who is Xia Ye's partner." Huo Xia was originally prepared to be scolded, but he didn't Thinking that Gang Shi's reaction was so ordinary, she continued to introduce:

"This is Lilyroot, the Pokémon I rescued on the road. This is Slimy, my new friend. Because it's lonely, I want to take care of it."

"Well, Nian Meilong needs water very much, so I want it to settle next to Lizhi Lake!" Huo Xia said her request loudly.

After hearing this, Gangshi touched his chin and thought for a while, and then said:

"Well, to be honest, as the team leader, I shouldn't leave such a dangerous presence near the village. However, I believe you can be responsible, so I allow it!"

"That's great, Nian Meilong!" Huo Xia clapped her hands happily.

Nian Meilong was also very happy. He put his head close to Huo Xia affectionately, and then started to rub him.

Xia Ye looked at Gang Shi while he was talking to Huo Xia. Although Gang Shi looked a little younger than he remembered, his character was still bold and informal.

"Huo Xia, can you please introduce this traveler in detail? I'm very interested~" Compared with Nian Meilong, Gang Shi thinks Xia Ye is more dangerous. He knows Huo Xia very well, and she can't do it alone. Get close to Nian Meilong, let alone become friends.

Huo Xia also said that the traveler helped him a lot. He must be very capable and must understand it carefully. People are more dangerous than Pokémon.

Gang Shi is wary of me, but now I leave it to Huo Xia, her words carry more weight than my own words.

Huo Xia also saw Gang Shi's vigilance and had to make him trust her. Then she said, "Xia Ye is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of things that I don't know. He is also quite kind. By the way, I want to He was the one who saved me when I saved Lily Root Baby from being chased by a fang cage.”

She didn't mention that Xia Ye could defeat the Poison Skeleton Frog, that Xia Ye could have a friendly exchange with the Tutai Turtle, or that Xia Ye could make seeds germinate quickly, because she knew that doing so would only make Gangshi have more worries.

"You know a lot? You should be called a scholar teacher, haha~" Gang Shi smiled and extended his hand to Xia Ye, "This is our first meeting. Welcome to the King Kong Settlement. I am the leader of the team, Gang Shi."

"Well, it's our first time meeting." Xia Ye held Gang Shi's extended hand.

It was more powerful than expected. Well, his identity as a traveler should not be false. Gangshi withdrew his hand, and then said to Huo Xia:

"How's the collection of tributes to Queen Sandao going? The celebration will start in three days." "How's it going? Let's wait and see?" Huo Xia hesitated.

"Well, confidence is a good thing. Then Huo Xia, please take Nian Meilong to Lizhi Lake to find a good place to live. I have something to ask Bachelor Xia Ye."

Huo Xia cast a look and asked Xia Ye if it was okay?

"I'm happy to accompany you." Xia Ye nodded and responded to Huo Xia's concerns.

"That's great," Gangshi then turned around and shouted to the onlookers hiding behind the tent: "Okay everyone, don't worry, there is no danger, just do whatever you need to do, time is precious~"

Everyone looked at each other and consciously dispersed to do their own things. Huo Xia saw that Gangshi would not embarrass Xia Ye, so he took Nian Meilong towards the direction of Lizhi Lake to find a suitable settlement for it. .

"Please come with me. I have many questions that I would like to ask the Master, haha~"

Xia Ye didn't say much, and followed Gang Shi to the tent where he lived. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw a brown furry little guy.

"What its name is, I believe the bachelor teacher should know it very well."

"Of course, it's Eevee, a Pokémon with multiple evolved forms."

"Really?" Gang Shi sat cross-legged on the carpet and motioned for Xia Ye to sit down. After Xia Ye sat down, he said:
"Thank you for saving Huo Xia, Your Excellency Xia Ye. Every member of the King Kong team is my most precious partner. It's great that she can come back safely." Gang Shi bowed to express his gratitude.

"Phew, I've finished expressing my gratitude, let's move on to the next topic. Actually, I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time!"

"Is it changing too fast?"

"Because time is precious. Well, I saw that you were silent when we met. It turns out that you are also the type who can make jokes. The bachelor teacher must have used this tone from now on. Just now, I felt like I was talking to my father." Gang Shi Showing a helpless expression.

"That's no problem. So what's the question that's bothering you?"

"Oh, it seems that you have understood the meaning of Team Kong and the preciousness of time. My question is related to Ibrahimovic." Gang Shi quickly changed the subject after sighing.

"It has many evolved forms, among which my favorite ones are the leaf-ear and leaf-tail types. I remember it's called Yeib."

"But there was a problem in the evolution process," Gangshi stroked Eevee in his arms, "It's really strange. I clearly used the Sun Stone that can evolve Lily Root Doll into Miss Skirt, but it didn't work for Eevee. They are obviously plant-type Pokémon."

"There are two ways for Eevee to evolve into Leaf Eevee. One is to come into contact with a leaf stone, and the other is to come into contact with a mossy rock." Xia Ye stretched out two fingers and said calmly.

"It turned out that the method was wrong, haha, but the way you spoke just now really sounded like a teacher!"

Gangshi stood up with Ibrahimovic in his arms, and then said to Xia Ye: "I happen to know a rock covered with moss, Xia Ye, come with me now, after all, time waits for no one!"

In this way, Xia Ye was dragged by Gang Shi to Moss Rock in the Obsidian Wilderness Forest. When they came back, the celebration was about to begin, and his Ievee naturally evolved into Ye Ive.
