My Name of the Spirit Lucario

Chapter 685 The Ominous Spread

Just when Leo was about to search a few more times, he suddenly discovered that the Slowpokes who were originally outside commanding the Slowpokes to fight a "battle" with the Psyduck tribe showed a tendency to divert their attention back.

"We can't stay here for long, let's retreat first."

For the time being, Leo estimated that he would not be able to get more clues from the water flow, so he planned to retreat first to avoid angering these Slowpokes and Slowbeasts.

After all, entering their settlement in such a grand manner seemed disrespectful and impolite no matter how you looked at it. If he angered these elves, even if Leo had a way to escape, it would take a lot of effort. He was already exhausted from days of running around, and it would not be worth it to waste his energy to deal with them.

But Leo was unwilling to give up. Before sneaking away, he asked the victim to take out a bottle and filled it with water, leaving it for careful observation after returning.

……

Near the Lucario Kingdom, there are also tributaries from that area of ​​water, which are also the water resources on which the elves in the kingdom depend for survival.

At this time, there were also several Lucarios carrying wooden barrels, filling them with water from the tributaries, and then transporting them back to the kingdom.

"Hey, Leo, weren't you supposed to have a good rest today? Why did you come out?"

There was a Lucario who was more familiar with Leo, and greeted the latter when he saw him.

"Ahaha, I'm thirsty, come and have a drink."

Leo made up an excuse to trick his companions into leaving. After they left, Leo took out the bottle hidden behind his back, squatted by the water, and looked at it carefully.

Just like what I saw in the Slowpoke Tribe just now, the water is clear and without any debris, let alone that strange black substance.

I turned around and observed the water flowing by my side. It was also so clear. I leaned over and smelled it. The smell was also quite normal.

"What's wrong?"

Leo fell into deep thought, racking his brains to recall every step he had just taken.

Not only from the moment I saw the water flow, but also from the earlier actions.

"...I ran across the prairie and encountered a Slowpoke and a Psyduck fighting near a body of water. Then I sneaked into their habitat while avoiding Slowpoke, and finally noticed those strange things in the water... Wait, sneaking... Oh, I was using waveguide sensing to avoid Slowpoke's surveillance. Could the problem be with the waveguide?"

In a flash, Leo realized what he was talking about, and immediately deployed the waveguide sensing system.

"really!"

Let the power of waveguides contain in your eyes, and when you look at the bottle again, you will find that several black substances solidified into the shape of round beads are floating up and down in the water in the bottle, which looks particularly strange.

When looking at the water flow around us, we can also find that the water contains the same black substance, but compared with the tributary containing the Slowpoke community, the content of black substance here is much less.

"I should have thought of it earlier. It must be the influence of the waveguide. After all, the dark energy is most afraid of the purification of the waveguide force. After I started the waveguide induction, there was still some waveguide force left. So I could still see it at that moment, but I couldn't see it afterwards."

Through this phenomenon, Leo can currently be sure of two things.

First, this black substance is indeed the same thing as the dark energy possessed by the mysterious man "Wu" encountered in the modern world, and it can also be confirmed that this thing has caused the recent abnormal impulses and conflicts in the surrounding elf communities.

Second, the source of this thing should originate from that vast body of water. The evidence is that the rivers near the Slowpoke tribe close to the water contain much more dark matter than the water flow on the Lucario Kingdom side.

As for the first guess, as the creatures with the deepest understanding of dark matter in two generations, one could even say there is no one better, he couldn't deduce it under such obvious characteristics. Na'ao felt that he was either stupid or crazy.

But Leo has reservations about the second point, but it is also easy to prove.

"Let's go visit more elven tribes along the tributaries tomorrow."

Although it was very refreshing to run back and forth, it also consumed a lot of physical strength and energy. After weighing the pros and cons, Leo decided to go back and rest, and talk about it tomorrow.

He returned to the kingdom somewhat listlessly, and the Riolus playing nearby noticed Leo.

"Haha, Leo, come and have a look, I found a treasure today!"

The leader of the children, Riolu, proudly wanted to show off what he had in his hand to Leo. Normally, Leo wouldn't mind playing with these little guys for a while, but he was too tired these days. After the excitement this morning, all that was left was an unstoppable feeling of fatigue.

So Leo drooped his eyelids, waved to Riolu and the others, indicating that they could talk later, and then walked into the palace.

"Forget it, let's continue playing."

Seeing that Leo did not join, the child king Riolu did not care and continued to show his friends the treasures he had just found today.

"Hey, this little black bead is what I found in the river this morning. Doesn't it look nice?... Hey, Stone, don't touch it casually. This is much more precious than those rotten stones you picked up from the ground."

"My rock is not junk!"

"If you can pick up a bunch of them, what else can they be but junk? If you keep doing this, I'll get mad!"

The two Riolus started quarreling as they were talking, and then they started fighting with each other angrily. Instead of trying to stop the fight, their friends added fuel to the fire, so that several Riolus were dragged into the fight.

Although the Lucarios standing by saw the Riolus crying and shouting during the fight, to them, the fights between the energetic Fighting-type Pokémon were too common. To them, every Pokémon had fought with their friends when they were young, so they didn't care about the little guys. At most, they would stop the fight if it went too far.

But no one noticed that the small black bead that accidentally fell to the ground was flashing a strange black light and emitting an ominous aura.

……

There is a Lucario in the kingdom. Because he likes to tinker with and carve wood since he was a child, he was named Amu by his parents. In the ancient times, the naming of elves was very simple and crude, and they were usually named directly after various things around them. This is why Ye Zi thinks Leo's name is quite fresh and interesting.

But Amu didn't have any problem with his name. Instead, he liked it. After all, it was his favorite thing. When he grew up and evolved into Lucario, he was still obsessed with carving wood, and thus became a famous woodcarver in the kingdom. Many Lucarios like to find Amu to carve something they like. For example, a certain Lucario often carves grilled fish and tree fruits. Recently, he has frequently found Amu to carve various skewers of meat, which makes Amu laugh and cry.

However, he was quite serious about his hobby, so even though it was already late, he was still working hard under the moonlight to complete the skewered wood carving that Lucario Leaf wanted.

The sharp claws moved back and forth on a piece of wood. Soon, a pile of sawdust appeared on the ground, and the shapes of several pieces of meat on skewers were vividly presented by the wood.

He thought about it and embedded some small black beads he saw in the river today into the wood carving, imitating the "black peppercorns" that Leo sprinkled when grilling meat.

I have to say, after adding those black beads the size of rice grains, the wooden carved meat skewers look quite realistic. After staring at them for a long time, Amu even missed the taste of Leo's grilled meat skewers.

"It's a pity that Leo doesn't have much free time recently, otherwise we could have some delicious food again."

Amu thought so without stopping his hands.

After carving for a while, he felt his eyes a little dry, so he put the almost completed work next to him, straightened his back, and planned to take a break.

Suddenly, "pop".

Hearing the ominous sound, Amu hurriedly looked towards the wood carving.

But then I saw a foot stepping on the wood carving, breaking the flimsy wood into pieces.

"you?!"

Amu was a little stunned. He never expected such a sudden change to happen.

The Lucario who accidentally stepped on the wooden sculpture didn't even say sorry and just prepared to leave.

Amu's temper is just like the wood carvings he makes, all of which are rather stubborn. He has encountered this kind of thing before, but he would always sigh with a wry smile and then pick up a new piece of wood to start carving again.

But this time, looking at the indifferent back of the "culprit", for some reason, Amu felt his anger rising in his heart.

"How dare he! How dare he do this!"

Anger swelled in his heart, and Amu couldn't suppress his violent emotions.

So, he punched the man hard at his back without knowing he was doing anything wrong.
