Back home, Lu Ye's mother was lighting a fire to cook. When she saw the visitor, she suddenly looked incredulous.
"Mom, what's for dinner?"
Lu Ye sat down carelessly, took a bayberry from the basin, and handed one to Ghost Stone.
"Oh, just some side dishes." Liang Fang dusted off her apron and sat down next to Lu Ye, "How is the school?"
"It's good. Where's Dad?"
"He went to pick fruits from the trees behind your uncle's back. He will be back later."
Liang Fang had already seen Gui Stone chewing bayberry, but she didn't intend to ask anything, she just looked at Gui Stone with a kind face.
"Your elf?"
"Yes, I just conquered it."
"If you let it eat more, it will become like this."
While they were chatting, Lu Ye's father rushed in from outside the house with a big sack full on his shoulders, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hey, Xiao Lu is back!"
"Dad, how many fruits have you picked..."
Lu Yong, who had gray hair on his temples, smiled and said, "It's not much, I just picked a little bit from your uncle."
Lu Ye's father was originally a teacher, but because he could not adapt to the fast pace of the city, he returned to the village and became a village official.
I have a snake bear at home, and a walking grass takes care of the potted plants in the yard.
Occasionally he teases the neighbor's little Yorkie, and goes to the river to catch carp from time to time. This kind of life is also very interesting.
Seeing the grinning Ghost Stone, the snake bear opened its dark eyes wide and shrank behind Lu Yong in fear.
Lu Yong kicked the snake bear and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, go up and say hello!"
Ghost Stone pretended to be a boxer and waved his fist at the snake bear.
However, the Shadow Fist could not cause any damage to the normal type, so Lu Ye asked the two elves to go aside and fight.
"How long will you stay when you come back this time?"
"I'll go back after staying for two days. There are still exams at school."
"Your uncle said you were on TV. What's that Bogaman Cup? What kind of competition is it?"
"It's just a competition for water friends, so I won't bother you."
After chatting with his father about household matters for a long time, Lu Ye finally figured out that the woods on the back mountain are now mainly used for planting fruit.
After all, tree fruits are highly profitable and sell well, but they always attract some wild elves, which gives Lu Yong, a village official, a headache.
"You're here just in time. You're going up the mountain with your uncle in the evening."
Lu Yong took a puff from his pipe and said, "Look at the newly planted saplings to prevent them from being eaten up by wild elves."
Lu Ye asked curiously: "Are all the elves on the mountain so fierce?"
"No, many saplings were killed." Lu Yong felt a little distressed.
"I always advise your uncle not to put traps and cages. If this continues, it's really not going to work!"
Lu Ye nodded: "I'll go take a look at it tonight."
With Ghost Stone's strength, it won't be a problem to deal with a group of wild elves.
After all, this place is not far from the county seat. If there were really powerful wild elves, the association would have sent people to deal with them long ago.
It is sinking to the west day by day, and smoke is curling up.
Lu Ye's mother kept picking up food for Ghost Stone, which made Lu Ye feel like he had fallen out of favor.
After dinner, Lu Ye took Snake Bear out to eat, and took Ghost Stone with him to bully the children.
But these children were noisy by nature, and soon they became involved with Ghost Stone.
"Brother Lu, don't steal my swing!"
"Ah, I also want to play on the seesaw. Brother Lu, please come down first!"
Lu Ye took the snake bear again and visited them door to door, picking up a lot of fruits and snacks.
Until the evening, Lu Ye kept chewing melon seeds.
The life of a village bully is so simple and unpretentious.
And boring.
"Gah——"
The black crow stopped at the end of the telephone pole and made a hoarse call.
It was getting late, and the uncle found Lu Ye and went up the mountain with him.
"Your father has told you," the uncle said with a smile, "It's really difficult for you. It's rare for you to go home, and you have to guard the forest at night."
"It's not a problem, I'm used to staying up late anyway." Lu Ye replied with a smile.
Behind the uncle was a grinning coyote dog, barking nervously at Ghost Stone.
Ghost Stone had no consciousness, he opened the corners of his mouth with his fingers and grimaced crazily.
The sky gradually darkened, and the dense mountain forest was completely dark, with no light visible.
The uncle turned on the flashlight and asked the coyote dog to explore the way ahead.
"Xiao Lu, please follow closely. Uncle has buried many traps and cages nearby."
The uncle muttered: "I know you scholars think this may be too cruel... but there is no other way. If you can't catch the thief, the uncle will have to starve."
Fruit groves are a livelihood for many families in the village, but they are plagued by wild elves.
Lu Ye had not investigated, so he had no right to speak. He just followed behind silently.
The sound of partridges and low roars resounded in the forest.
The field of vision suddenly broadened. In the sparse fruit forest, several saplings had already suffered.
"Damn, it's happening again!"
The uncle was so angry that he stamped his feet and suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing in the bushes.
"Coyote, catch up!"
"Ouch!!"
[Spiritual vision judgment in progress - 61, judgment successful! 】
The sky was so dark that Lu Ye could only barely make out the black shadow. It was just a dark mass and he couldn't tell what kind of elf it was.
The coyote dog plunged into the bushes, and Lu Ye also shouted: "Ghost Stone, follow, strange light!"
Although it is possible to accidentally injure a coyote dog, in this case, Strange Light is also the best choice.
Ghost Stone flew toward the grass with a grin, and the coquettish light suddenly illuminated, making the entire orchard look like day.
Lu Ye squinted his eyes and heard a sharp scream from the bushes.
The uncle suddenly waved his fist: "That kid stepped on a trap!"
The two of them moved forward quickly, only to see a line of dripping blood spreading along the bitten cage.
The uncle's face became very strange: "You can bite this! How good is this guy's teeth!"
"This guy's size won't be too big." Lu Ye frowned, "Uncle, you stay here for now, Ghost Stone and I will go after him."
If the thief cannot be caught tonight, Lu Ye will not be able to sleep peacefully in the countryside!
"Ah? Xiao Lu, be careful!"
There was only the rustling sound of cicadas everywhere, and a few plump green caterpillars fell from the trees, hissing and spinning thick silk.
Lu Ye cautiously advanced along the path, breaking dead branches and making a crunching sound.
Under the special effect of Spiritual Vision's 'Eagle Eye', the rows of green bloody footprints have gradually disappeared.
The last trace of blood was on the trunk of this thick camphor tree.
Lu Ye raised his head.
A sharp scream sounded, and a black shadow jumped down from the treetops.
"Ghost Stone, hold on!"
Thick black mist shrouded Lu Ye, the barrier rose, and blue sparks were stirred up!
"Strange light!" Lu Ye shouted while narrowing his eyes, "Misfortune never comes alone!"
A large amount of black mist spread from Ghost Stone's body, and while it bloomed with a coquettish light, the black mist seemed to extend towards the black shadow consciously.
But the elf easily broke through the black mist and pounced towards the ghost stone!
"Invalid? This is actually a normal type!"
Lu Ye cursed secretly, "Ghost Stone, hold on!"
This is the "bite" of the evil-type move. With Ghost's fragile body, he might not be able to explain it directly.
"Squirt gas at it!"
Aiming at the nearby black shadow, Ghost Stone suddenly sprayed out a puff of thick mist, causing the opponent to take a big sip.
"Don't burn the side, use will-o'-the-wisp!"
The temperature of the will-o'-the-wisp is not high enough to ignite the nearby ancient trees, but it is enough to ignite the rich poisonous gas.
"Buyi——!"
Only a mournful cry was heard, and a blue will-o'-the-wisp suddenly bloomed in the dark night, and then disappeared again.
Boom!
The black shadow fell heavily to the ground, letting out a hoarse low cry.
Lu Ye picked up a branch and stepped forward cautiously.
"Crack——"
Lu Ye used a branch to brush away its hair, but it was bitten off by it in the next second.
It was at this moment that the system's Elf Guide was successfully identified.
Lu Ye looked at the illustrated book with some confusion.
He took another look at this black ball with thick hair and full of scorch marks.
