Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 424

A gust of coolness went straight to my heart, dispelling the sweltering heat accumulated from walking.

Xiu raised his hand to wipe off the remaining drops of water on his face, then stood up and measured the stream with his eyes, and murmured: "This direction flows into the Viridian Forest."

It seems that the water flowing to this place is indeed one of the ways to support the Viridian Forest.

It's just that Xiu's eyes suddenly paused, stopped at a place on the river bank, and then looked around.

I walked over there slowly when I found no abnormality.

He made another discovery, that this water had been taken.

And it's not other elves, but the big needle bee.

Xiu squatted down and looked at the grass in front of him. This kind of grass has a reputation. It likes to grow in cool and humid places. It is often found in low watersides or gloomy swamps. It is slightly poisonous, and people will not have any problems eating a small amount. Mostly diarrhea.

But this is not a problem. The problem is that this plant is the favorite snack of the wasp, and it is also the source of toxins accumulated by the wild bee, so it often appears near the nest of the bee.

I don't know if the bee was attracted to this plant, or the plant was transplanted here by the bee. Don't think this is funny, the elf is not stupid.

Xiu looked at the grass by the stream, and found signs of gnawing in some of them. Looking at the quantity, both sides of the river bank were enough for a nest of thirty members.

Although he is not afraid, even if he encounters it, he is sure to escape, but looking for trouble for nothing is obviously not in line with his ideas.

"Forget it~" Xiu hesitated for a moment, but finally left here.

Although I am a little curious about the group structure and habits of the big needle bee, but with their attitude towards the territory, he is definitely not welcome to approach.

Moreover, the big needle bee's hatred was synchronized, and it provoked a hostility that was equivalent to being hostile to all the big needle bees in the group.

These guys have a bad temper, and they are often fearless when fighting invaders. Unless Xiu kills them all, or escapes a certain distance, they will not stop.

Of course, there will also be people who will organize to find small groups of large needle bees and exterminate them.

There are tasks to remove hidden dangers around the city, as well as the materials and eggs of those big needle bees.

But Xiu doesn't pursue these things, so naturally he doesn't have the idea of ​​entangled with the big needle bee.

After breaking away from the stream, heading north all the way, it was another half-day boring journey. Xiu gradually found traces of human activities in the forest, such as man-made objects hanging on trees.

Xiu found an opportunity, climbed up a tree, and looked into the distance, but he didn't find any trace of a village, but he saw a house, a lonely wooden house.

Ordinary people definitely dare not live in the wild like this, only trainers, or rangers arranged by the alliance in the Viridian Forest.

Then the answer is clear, it is the ranger's house.

Do you want to meet up with me?

Xiu, who was squatting on the tree, stared at the wooden house and had some calculations in his mind. He immediately jumped down from the tree and walked straight over without hiding it.

It didn't take long for Xiu to come to the wooden house. According to the habit, he walked around the house first, but he soon realized that he seemed to be wrong again. This house should be abandoned.

It turns out that there should be some small props near the house to drive away the elves or to remind them, but most of these are out of order because no one maintains them.

Although I don't know the exact time, it has been more than half a year.

Knowing that no one was there, Xiu was not polite, and approached the wooden house to have a panoramic view of it.

It's a bit like the wooden house when he was in the wilderness area, but this one is much bigger. Maybe the wood used is all local materials, so the quality is better, even if no one maintains it, it still remains the same.

The forest is inherently humid. Even if someone maintains this kind of wooden house, it will only last for three to five years. If no one maintains it, once it encounters floods or heavy rains, it will be enough to rot within a few months after being soaked.

There was no man-made damage, and no elves damaged here, at least there was no large-scale damage, that is to say, they were voluntarily evacuated.

Based on these circumstances, Xiu quickly deduced why this place was abandoned.

The reason is that last year the Viridian Forest was in chaos, and the rangers were injured. Recently, because of the Hunters and the Rockets, most of the rangers were transferred to guard the important territory of the alliance. This is irrelevant. The site was naturally abandoned.

But it's not too early now, it happened to be cheap for him, and the shelter for tonight was settled.

After checking to make sure there were no traces of humans around, Xiu took out the poke ball and released them from Casey.

After Kathy came out, he opened his eyes, looked around, and raised his little hand, a stone came out of Xiu's body and came to its hand, and the stone immediately emitted blue light, like breathing, disappearing one after another long.

Xiu didn't respond to this either. It was the meteorite from before. According to the previous thinking, Casey used this to consume part of his super power to maintain his own stability.

"Let's go, go and see what's in there." After Xiu finished speaking, he lifted his feet and walked towards the wooden house.

Just now he only dared to walk around the periphery, but now that Casey is by his side, he also dared to observe other places while walking.

"The weeds are overgrown, is this the power of nature?" Xiu looked at the traces on the ground. There were obvious traces around the house. It should have been the main area of ​​activities of that person, but now it was covered with weeds, almost like an ordinary place. .

The design of the wooden house is somewhat similar to that of a house on stilts. The house is not in direct contact with the ground, but is supported by several log pillars underground, so you have to go up a small staircase to get outside the door.

"Is anyone there~" Xiu approached slightly and called out.

Sure enough, no one responded.

He knew that there was no one here, in order to remind the elves who might be hiding inside, so as not to meet suddenly.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement inside. Xiu glanced at Casey, and there was a slight sound from the latch.

He didn't even knock on the door, just pushed towards the door like this, and the door opened without even pushing hard.

Xiu glanced at Casey next to him, saw that it didn't give any warning, and walked in.

Now during the day, the sun keeps coming in, so I can see the internal structure clearly.

A bed, a chest, and a table, plus an iron stove, there is nothing else.

Xiu didn't care, and started to search for the wooden house, but stopped after a while.

Most of the things were taken away, and what was not taken was also burned.

Xiu looked at the embers in the stove. They were all charcoal fires, which should be where the forest rangers on duty lived.

Everything was looted, but Xiu didn't respond to it. He didn't intend to get anything here.

Without hope, there is naturally no disappointment.
