The leader of the green caterpillar acted quickly and planned to take Mark to the pomelo fruit tree, but found that Mark did not follow him immediately. Instead, he untied the green caterpillar's hammock and carried the green caterpillar on his back.
"Hiss?"
The leader of the green caterpillars was puzzled by the green caterpillars on Mark’s back.
Mark gently stroked the green caterpillar on his back twice and said with a smile: "I'm a little worried about leaving it here, so I might as well take it with me."
The green caterpillar leader tilted his head and looked at Mark.
After some contact, although it was no longer so afraid of Mark, it was still a little frightened. However, looking at Mark's movements at this time, all its fearful emotions had disappeared.
There was only one thought in its mind, and that was that this terrifying human trainer was really gentle to that green caterpillar.
After not observing for too long, I found that Mark was unable to place the green caterpillar on his back for a while. It spit out a silk thread to help Mark fix the green caterpillar perfectly.
"Thank you, Green Caterpillar Leader!"
"Hiss!"
The leader of the green caterpillar nodded slightly and led Mark deeper into the forest.
A few minutes later, Mark and the green caterpillar leader arrived at a three-meter-high tree, which was the pomelo fruit tree.
The number of fruits is not large, but it is also quite a lot. Mark did a rough count and found that there were about seventy fruits on the tree including the unripe fruits.
"Hiss, hiss."
The leader of the green caterpillar gestures with his legs continuously.
Perhaps the exchange by the fire not long ago had made things a bit familiar. The leader of the green caterpillars told him that he could take half of the pomelo fruits on the tree and leave half for himself and the group of green caterpillars.
It can be seen that although the leader of the green caterpillar is very smart, he is not experienced in the world and has an extremely simple mind.
If he could be ruthless enough to deceive, he would probably be able to defraud most of the grapefruit trees on this tree. It would even be easy for the green caterpillar leader to thank him while defrauding the grapefruit trees.<
/p>
It's a pity that he really can't do it.
Mark shook his head and said: "You don't need that many, ten should be enough. By the way, I forgot to ask you one thing. Is it because of this pomelo fruit that your body can grow so big?"
The leader of the green caterpillar tilted his head, showing an expression of memory and thinking.
It shook its head first, then nodded, and then shook its head again...
Under Mark's puzzled gaze, the green caterpillar leader quickly waved his legs and gestures, and explained with hissing sounds.
Since he was not his elf, he could not communicate with his mind, so the leader of the green caterpillar explained for a long time before Mark understood some of the general outlines.
According to the leader of the green caterpillar, its original size was not that big. It was probably only a little bigger than the ordinary leader's guards. It was not as smart as it is now, and it was a bit muddle-headed.
It wasn't until the last green caterpillar leader evolved into a big butterfly and flew away, that it defeated its competitors and became the new green caterpillar leader. Only then did its wisdom gradually increase and its size further increase.
The narration of the leader of the green caterpillar reminded Mark inexplicably of some doubts he had when watching Pokémon animations before time travel.
When Xiaozhi was traveling, he encountered many giant elves, not the ones that became Gigantamax in the Galar region later, but truly huge individuals, such as giant dragons, giant stinging jellyfish, giant telepathic clay dolls... p>
The leaders of some elven groups are often much larger than what is recorded in the Elf Encyclopedia.
Could it be said that these large elves are related to becoming the leader of a group of elves?
Yes, not only the current green caterpillar leader, but also the green caterpillar leader from a few years ago seems to be quite big as well.
Mark was thoughtful.
In addition to the green caterpillar leader, his green caterpillars also seem to be somewhat special, possessing an IQ that far exceeds that of similar species.
While thinking, a word suddenly appeared in Mark's mind, and a conjecture was also born.
——Bond.
The word "bond" accompanies the entire journey of the Pokémon anime protagonist Ash.
With the help of bonds, Xiaozhi's Pikachu has defeated powerful enemies countless times. In the special episode, there are even cases where the new elves defeated the mythical beasts with the help of bonds.
In the world of Pokémon, the bond represents the emotional resonance between the trainer and the Pokémon, which can really become strength.
This world seems to be the same.
In the school textbook "Encyclopedia of Knowledge about Elves of the Kingdom of Shia (3)", some words are used to describe the emotional resonance between trainers and elves, which can burst out with powerful power. The only problem is that the description is very rough. The following books
There is no further explanation in the book.
So, did his green caterpillar gain IQ because of its bond with him?
Mark thinks there is a very high possibility.
Because he had been a confused idiot for the past ten years, so in order to help him, the green caterpillar relied on its bond with him and gradually gained wisdom far beyond that of ordinary green caterpillars.
——Since he has no brain, let the green caterpillar be his brain.
And through this bond conjecture, Mark suddenly realized that since there is a bond between humans and elves, shouldn’t there be a bond between elves and elves?
The leader of the green caterpillars may have formed a bond with the elves of the entire group, so he gradually gained a larger body and became more intelligent.
So, where is his green caterpillar?
If his green caterpillar becomes the leader, will it also grow further through its bond with the tribe?
Mark rubbed his temples with his fingers.
Although his conjecture seems to be reliable, whether it is actually the case requires a series of verifications.
In addition, the leader of the green caterpillars had just given him some pomelo fruits, so he was too embarrassed to go back on his promise and directly led the green caterpillars to seize the leadership position.
In addition, he and the green caterpillars have to exercise through the green caterpillar group. If he becomes the leader of the green caterpillars, he will lose the way to exercise.
However, the green caterpillar breeding base in Qingxi Village can try to find a way to make its green caterpillar the leader there.
Without thinking too much, Mark continued to listen to the leader of the green caterpillar.
According to the leader of the green caterpillar, after it became the leader of the green caterpillar, its body gradually grew to about one meter.
It was also during that time that its [silk spinning] skills improved by leaps and bounds. At the same time, due to its improved IQ, it became aware of the threat from the ethnic group.
Adjacent to the green caterpillar territory, there lives a powerful elf.
The leader of the green caterpillar elf doesn’t know the specific name, but he only knows that it is a purple elf, about three meters tall, extremely strong, and highly poisonous.
Based on the description of the green caterpillar leader, Mark guessed that the elf should be Nido King.
The Nido King often attacks the green caterpillars, but the green caterpillars are always powerless against it.
For this reason, the leader of the green caterpillars thought hard and created a wooden thorn slingshot trap activated by silk threads. With hundreds of traps triggered at the same time, he killed the Nidoking in one fell swoop.
In the end, the Nidoking escaped, and it naturally took over the Nidoking's territory. At the same time, it obtained several orange fruit trees and a dwarf pomelo fruit tree in the Nidoking's territory.
Mark looked at the green caterpillar leader with admiration. He really didn't expect that there was such a tortuous story about these fruits.
"So, by taking these fruits, you have further grown from about one meter to nearly one meter and three meters now.
Is this why you shook your head and nodded again just now?
The reason why your body has become so big is because of these fruits, but it is not entirely because of these fruits."
The leader of the green caterpillar nodded repeatedly, confirming Mark’s guess.
"Then how many of these pomelo fruits have you eaten in total to get to your current figure?"
The leader of the green caterpillar continued to make gestures with his legs, which meant that he had eaten for a period of time, one every few days. As for the specific amount he had eaten, he could not describe it.
Mark shook his head and said: "I forgot that you haven't learned to count yet. Let's wait until you learn to count before you tell how much you have eaten. In fact, mathematics is very interesting if you get started. I will teach you in a moment.
Well..."
The green caterpillar leader tilted his head. For some reason, he once again had the urge to escape. However, out of his affection for Mark, he endured his physical discomfort and stayed...
