In the early morning, perhaps because it had just rained, there was a light mist in the forest and the ground was slightly damp.
The remaining rainwater slowly slid down the veins of the green leaves, forming a crystal round drop of water at the tip of the leaf. It dripped down and hit a trumpet bud on the head.
Trumpet Bud stupidly raised its head and touched the moisture on its head with its leaf-shaped hand.
"Grandma, I'm going out!"
A childish shout came from the village not far away.
Hearing the commotion, Trumpet Bud poked his head out from behind the tree and saw a girl wearing a floral sweater running out of the village with a basket.
"It's Xiao Qiyue! Why did you get up so early today?" In the vegetable garden on the roadside, an old man with a hoe in his hand and a kind face said hello.
"Hello Grandpa Niu, it just rained last night. There should be a lot of fresh mushrooms growing in the forest. I will pick some and dry them for the winter." Qi Yue answered obediently.
"Go quickly, be careful alone, and don't forget to go deep into the forest!" Grandpa Niu seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly warned him.
"Why?" Xiao Qiyue asked in confusion.
"Because your brother, Big Niu, saw bad guys capturing elves in the forest yesterday. I heard that they would also kidnap and traffic children and sell them to the mountains to be used as child brides!" Grandpa Niu said with an ugly face.
…
Jiangzhou City.
Zhao Chen was sitting on the sofa, cutting the express box in front of him with a utility knife. The rogue panda was holding potato chips in one hand and a bottle of Coke in the other, sitting on the sofa like a fat man watching TV.
More than a month has passed since Zhao Jin was followed. During this month, a lot of things, big and small, happened, but the guy never appeared again.
Despite this, Zhao Chen still did not dare to let down his guard. Fortunately, with the arrival of January, the winter vacation that students across the country were looking forward to also arrived.
The coming of the holidays also means that Zhao Chen no longer has to accompany Zhao Jin to and from school.
Zhao Jin, who had been frightened for a month, also said that she would be a happy stay-at-home girl at home this winter vacation.
"Huhu, come here, let's eat delicious food!" Zhao Chen took out a packaging bag from the box. This was the preserved fruit snack he bought for the three elves. Huhu saw an advertisement on TV before and was very greedy.
.
As soon as he heard the call, Huhu immediately flew out of the bedroom, used his superpower to take the preserved fruit from Zhao Chen's hand, and started eating it in small bites.
"Brother, how is your work at the research institute?" Zhao Jin asked, huddled on the sofa while holding a Pikachu doll.
"It's okay." Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, if Dr. Aoki hadn't seen him provide research ideas, he would have been fired long ago.
"Let Abao protect you at home during this winter vacation."
Zhao Chen said.
The rogue panda on the side put the potato chips into his mouth and happily agreed.
In the evening, Zhao Chen, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, brought Chou Chou Fish and Hu Hu to the Aoki Research Institute.
When I got off the bus, I looked around and saw the white snow all over the sky. When walking on the snow, I could hear the dull sound of rustling.
In the distance, the Yasha Forest was also covered in white snow, and the whole world seemed to be quiet.
In winter, elves in the wild rarely come out and move around. Most of them hide in caves, waiting for the end of winter.
"Ding dong!"
Zhao Chen pressed the doorbell, and there was a sound inside. Soon, the door opened. Meow Meow, who was wearing red gloves and scarf, jumped up when he saw Zhao Chen.
"Did you come to work today?"
"Yes." Zhao Chen nodded. He had been working hard for a month. Although he didn't get paid during the holidays, he felt a little uncomfortable with being idle and bored.
At this time, Luo Shan walked by carrying coffee. She saw this scene and smiled: "Meow Meow has been talking about you every day during the month you took leave!"
Zhao Chen laughed, grabbed Meow Meow by the neck and brought it into the house, then closed the door to keep out the wind, snow and cold.
The researchers in the institute are very busy on weekdays, and no one has time to chat with Miaomiao. Compared with them, Zhao Chen’s work is not so busy. Compared with those who wear glasses and white coats, Miaomiao
I prefer playing with Zhao Chen.
"Sister Luo Shan, is there any work I can do?" Zhao Chen asked, licking his meow.
"Not yet." Luo Shan shook her head and said, "You can go to the second floor to see if the doctor needs help."
"OK."
Zhao Chen nodded, turned around and went to the laboratory on the second floor.
After not seeing each other for a month, Dr. Aoki's baldness became more and more serious. When we first met, he was still a Mediterranean, but now he has lost all his hair on both sides.
At this time, Dr. Aoki was the only one in the laboratory, and there was a clear picture on the display screen in front of him.
In the picture, there is a big chicken with gold, red and yellow feathers. It has a yellow crest on its head and its wings are prism-shaped. It looks like a phoenix.
But its name is not Phoenix. To be precise, it is the Phoenix King, an elf who is said to be able to resurrect the dead and bring happiness to people.
A month ago, it appeared in the Larvia Mountains in Northern Europe, which shocked the whole world. Many trainers heard the news and went away, trying to see the legendary Ho-Oh in person.
But when they arrived, King Feng had disappeared.
Later, some people said that the photo was fake, but some experts said that there was no trace of Photoshop in the photo.
Besides Phoenix King, there is another figure in that picture.
Because the shooting distance was too far, people couldn't see the figure's face clearly, but they could clearly see the elf under his feet.
It was an elf with a white body and two rings of white rings on its tail. It looked very elegant and handsome.
Although it was blurry, Zhao Chen recognized the elf at a glance. It was Reshiram, known as the "True Dragon" in the Hezhong region in the anime.
"Which guy is so awesome that he can conquer Reshiram..." Zhao Chen was a little shocked in his heart and secretly envied the other party's good luck.
Among all the mythical beasts, regardless of their strength, his three favorites are Reshiram, Zekrom and the strongest dragon Kyurem.
"Are you here?"
Dr. Aoki's voice woke him up from his meditation.
Zhao Chen reacted, nodded and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Dr. Aoki thought for a while and said: "Not yet. I recently gave those guys a holiday. Now there are only two people in the institute, Luo Shan and me."
"All right…"
Zhao Chen nodded, no wonder he didn't see anyone else when he came in.
Dr. Aoki looked at the picture and introduced with a smile: "That is the very mysterious elf in the legend, Phoenix King! The other elf, combined with its appearance, should be Reshiram!"
"It's just... who can conquer the legendary Reshiram..." Dr. Aoki murmured, his eyes full of confusion.
The last person to fight with a mythical beast dates back to 2334 BC. According to historical records, it was Dayu and the legendary spirit Shuijun who together solved the great flood that harmed the world.
