Elf World, my information is updated daily

Chapter 208 I didn't check the almanac before going out today (13)

The bear cub's face showed an eager expression; it couldn't wait to taste the honey.

Xia Mu grabbed Xiong Baobao's hand. Xiong Baobao.

It tilted its head and looked at Xia Mu, its big, watery eyes filled with a puzzled expression.

What's wrong? Don't block my way from eating!
"Don't ruin everything at once."

"I'll keep some for myself, so I can eat it when I want some honey. I'm using this for cooking."

"Adding honey when cooking will greatly enhance the flavor."

The little bear nodded, while Xia Mu folded a broadleaf into the shape of a cup.

In this way, the nectar flowing down from the coconut tree will be collected on the fallen broad leaves.

"Come on, little bear, let's walk around here for a bit, and then come back to collect honey later."

"The more delicious something is, the more patient you need to wait."

The little bear nodded vigorously; his adoptive mother had said the same thing to him.

It carried the big fish and walked at the front. When some of the weaker elves saw the bear cub, they wished they had more legs.

These sprites disappeared into the grass in a flash, vanishing without a trace.

This deserted island is very large and rich in elf resources. Along the way, Xia Mu discovered many rare plants.

He also saw a large seashell on the beach, which would be very convenient for making soup.

Xia Mu had the illusion that he had come here as a tourist.

"I've fallen, I've fallen. Remember your mission, the elves are waiting for me to return."

Xia Mu silently warned himself to remain vigilant.

I came here to survive on a desert island, not to experience life.

But after having the bear cub, I felt like I was being carried away by the bear cub.

Just then, the bear cub led Xia Mu to a valley filled with white crystals.

The sea breeze carried a faint, salty smell.

The little bear casually picked up a crystal no bigger than a thumbnail and put it in its mouth to lick it.

After not eating this for several days in a row, the little bear felt listless and lacked energy.
At the same time, the bear cub grabbed a handful and handed it to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu picked up a crystal without hesitation and licked it.

It has a slightly salty taste, with a lingering sweetness in the mouth.

"Is this top-quality rock salt?"

Xia Mu said with some surprise, as he had been worrying about whether or not to extract salt from seawater.

This is the worst method. Unfiltered sea salt has a natural bitter taste because it contains heavy metals, which affect the taste.

However, long-term lack of salt intake can lead to electrolyte imbalance, which can cause the body to lack energy.

Xia Mu collected some rock salt and carefully wrapped it in palm leaves.

Xia Mu also collected some tree fruits to use as seasonings.

Chili peppers have a fiery and spicy flavor, while oranges have a sour and astringent taste. When spread on grilled meat and grilled over high heat, they create a sweet and sour flavor.

The bright moon was already high in the sky, and Xia Mu patted the bear cub's head.

It looked at Xia Mu with a puzzled expression, then covered its head.

Mom said, "Don't touch my head, or I won't grow tall."

I'm going to be a blue beast, and I absolutely won't allow myself to not grow tall.

Xia Mu was about to reach out and touch his head.

The bear cub was unhappy. It bared its teeth at Xia Mu and gave him a resentful look.

Xia Mu understood what the bear cub meant, so he withdrew his restless hand.

It has to be said that the fur on this teddy bear's head is so soft and fluffy, it feels amazing to the touch, just like petting a cat.

Unfortunately, the bear cubs can't be petted anymore. Happy times are always short-lived, Xia Mu thought with a slight sense of regret.

The sea breeze picked up, and huge waves crashed against the rocks with a loud roar.

The seawater scattered like flowers from a fairy's shower, then receded back into the sea.

Many shells, crabs, and fish washed ashore by the giant waves ended up on the beach.

However, the fish that had been stunned quickly regained its senses, flicked its tail, and swam back into the sea.

Xia Mu followed the bear cub around and returned to the shore.

He picked up a sharp stone from the gravel, gutted the large fish, and after cleaning it, rinsed it twice with seawater.

Xia Mu plans to make smoked fish, which is the best way to preserve food.

This fish weighs about 20 kilograms, and after it's smoked, there should be about 10 kilograms left.

On a deserted island, you need to prepare food in advance. If there is a situation where it rains heavily for several days in a row, it will be difficult to find food.

"Little bear, are there any dead trees nearby?"

"Also, please help me cut some pine needles."

Pine nut trees look a lot like pine trees, but their leaves have a stronger pine scent.

The bear cub avoided the main trunk of the pine tree and used its sharp claws to cut off the branches.

The cut area is as smooth as a mirror.

Several loud thuds were heard as the branches crashed to the ground, causing the ground to tremble.

As the smoke filled the air, some of the pine trees perched on the trees were startled, and they hurriedly flapped their wings and flew into the air.

The feathers on its body fluttered down from the air.

Still shaken, Bobo flew to a nearby tree, intending to glare at the culprit with condemnation.

After discovering it was a bear cub, the boys shrank back and acted like quails. This little tyrant was not to be trifled with.

If you confront it and provoke it, the consequences could be disastrous.

With the idea that it's better to avoid trouble, the Bobos drifted off to sleep again.

The bear cub carried a branch several times longer than its own body to Xia Mu's side.

“Very good, little bear.”

"Try splitting these branches into several pieces."

The bear cub raised its paw and swung it sharply at the branch, sending streaks of bright silver light flashing across the branch.

The branches instantly broke into several pieces and rolled to the ground.

"Okay, now split the tree trunk into pieces and stack them up."

Xia Mu once again gave orders.

Before long, the firewood was neatly piled up, and the little bear was still full of energy despite having worked for so long.

It stretched its limbs, making a cracking sound.

Right, it's time to train!

The little bear looked up at the sky and realized it was getting late; it was time for its training.

Suddenly, Xia Mu noticed that the bear cub had run all the way to the beach, lifted a one-ton boulder from the shore, held it high above its head, and started running on the sand.

Despite carrying such a heavy boulder, the bear cub ran at its usual pace, leaving deep footprints on the ground. This seemed to be the bear cub's routine weight-bearing training.

During the period after losing his adoptive mother, the bear cub used these training methods to distract himself from his grief.

"This bear cub is really strong and very disciplined."

"As long as you treat the bear cubs with sincerity, you will surely receive sincere rewards in return."

A gentle sea breeze blew in, carrying a hint of chill.

The temperature at the beach drops sharply at night.

Xia Mu cut the large fish into thumb-sized pieces and hung them in a dead tree.

The interior of the tree had been hollowed out by other elves.

After he filled the cave with pine branches, he called for the bear cubs.

The little bear casually tossed the giant rock into the air and trotted happily toward Xia Mu.

The giant crab that had been defeated by the bear cub had just woken up from its coma. It crawled out of the sandpit and tried to stretch its pincers when it suddenly went dark and something seemed to be flying towards it.

When it finally saw what it was, its eyes almost popped out of its head.

Who is so inconsiderate as to throw things from a high place?

Before it could even decide whether to step out with its left or right foot to escape, it was struck by the oncoming boulder and embedded deeply into the beach.

The surrounding ground trembled a few times, and a large amount of sand and dust spread out.

Before the giant crab was stunned by the boulder, its last thought was—it wasn't a good day to go out because it hadn't checked the almanac.

In the end, I am the giant crab, bearing all the bitterness.

"Little Bear, I need to light a fire to smoke the fish now. Use your Flame Fist to start the fire."

Seeing this, the bear cub slowly raised its paw, concentrated its mind, and streams of firelight surged into its paw.

Then, flames crackled around the bear cub's paws, and a fiery fist took shape.

At this moment, the bear cub's paws looked like a blazing torch.

The firelight dispelled the surrounding chill and brought a touch of warmth.

The bear cub placed its fiery paws on the branch, and soon a lot of white smoke began to billow from the branch.

White smoke billowed out, followed by blue flames, and the branches began to burn. Before long, a campfire was lit.

Thick plumes of smoke shot into the sky from the hollow of the dead tree.

Thick smoke and flames licked at the cut fish fillets.

Golden oil seeped from the surface of the fish and dripped down little by little.

The firewood crackled and popped, and soon a rich aroma filled the air.

Xia Mu used tree branches to stir the campfire, controlling the heat to prevent the fish from being burned black by the intense flames.

After lighting the campfire, the bear cub didn't linger. It immediately picked up the boulder it had thrown and rushed back to the beach for training.

However, it didn't notice that a giant crab was lying in the pit, its eyes glazed over, its entire shell covered with cracks, looking quite pitiful.

“The bear cubs have a strong sense of focus. They won’t stop until the training is over, no matter how tempting it is.”

After lighting the campfire, Xia Mu had nothing else to do, so he checked the latest information released by the system.

[1. Beneath Qi Island lies an altar dedicated to the Flamebird, adorned with its feathers and a supreme Flame Orb. A powerful guardian has been tasked with watching over the temple, but it has recently fallen into a state of suspended animation, undergoing its final transformation. The temple's layout is shown below.]

[2. Members of the Kirin Society and the Dark Society have infiltrated the Chansey Cup, becoming its support personnel. They are secretly observing various breeders, selecting suitable candidates to abduct. They will make their move just before the Chansey Cup ends. The bent spoon has been tampered with; breeders teleported out of the competition will fall into their hands.]

[3. Qi Island contains an open-air evolution stone mine, which contains many Fire Stones and Leaf Stones. The map of the evolution stone mine is shown below.]

[4. Qi Island contains many rare metal veins, including super precious metals such as Dark Iron and Heavy Iron. Steel-type Pokémon can increase their fire resistance by consuming these metals year-round. The locations of Dark Iron and Heavy Iron are shown below.]

[5. The superpowered shops run by the superpowered sprites are located at the following coordinates; they will randomly set up stalls in these dozen or so locations.]

After seeing the latest intelligence, Xia Mu focused his attention on the second piece of information.

The Kirin Society and the Dark Society are underground dark organizations in the Yanhuang region, similar to Team Rocket in the Kanto region.

They value strength and power, and their organization employs a wolf-like culture.

If you have the ability and can bring benefits to the organization, you can be promoted quickly.

The system has given many prompts, and Xia Mu has also informed the organizing committee of the Jili Egg Cup through various channels.

"It seems we can only take it one step at a time."

"If word gets out about what the Dark Society and the Qilin Society have done, the Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Yanhuang region will certainly not sit idly by."

"It's also possible that the champion will take the initiative."

Xia Mu rubbed his head; he was thinking.

"Will the organizing committee set up cameras on Qi Island? That way I can't be too high-profile, lest I be targeted by the Dark Society and the Qilin Society."

"However, the presence of Moltres's altar here means that Articuno and Zapdos's altars should also be not far from the island."

Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno, which have altars, are also known as the Three Legendary Birds. They were worshipped by the ancients, and the Three Legendary Birds would step forward to help them when they were in danger.

"With feathers possessing the power of a firebird and a top-grade fire orb, I can't just pretend nothing happened now that I've come across such treasures."

"The guardian has fallen into a state of suspended animation; this is the perfect opportunity to seize the Flame Orb."

Xia Mu touched his chin, his brain racing.

He has more than one Fire-type Pokémon, but Xia Mu decided to give the Moltres feather to Litten.

After all, Litten desperately needs a huge amount of energy to awaken its true potential.

Besides Lashiram's feathers, is there any rare and precious material better than the feathers of the Moltres?
As for the evolution stone vein, Xia Mu decided to use the system space to load some away.

However, judging from the map, the evolution stone mines are all located in remote areas, making it difficult for these contestants to reach these places without the assistance of their Pokémon.

Xia Mu's Adolphin evolution requires Dark Iron and Heavy Steel.

One type increases Kordor's resistance to Fire-type moves, while the other increases Kordor's weight, making its impact more powerful and its defense steadily improved.

While Xia Mu was smoking fish, after Xiong Bao finished his weight training, he began practicing claw and stomping skills in the rising tide.

It practiced over and over again, and its foundation was built very well.

Xia Mu felt very lucky to have met the bear cubs as soon as he arrived on the island.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared on the surface of the sea and swam towards the direction where the bear cub was.

　I recommend a new book on beast taming, "The Fat Orange Cat Who Collapsed the Bed," by an established author. The title is "Beast Taming: 16 Years Old, Old Deng's Comeback - What's Up?"

　　
　　Tianhai No.1 Middle School Auditorium.

　　Xia Mu, a high school senior, was struggling to choose between being a Beast Tamer or a Breeder when Old Deng's Counterattack System suddenly appeared.

　　[Ding! The Old Deng Comeback System is now online!]

　　[At forty, you've struggled for most of your life, still a lowly beast tamer in middle age. When Tianhai City is breached by the Abyss Bone Dragon and reduced to scorched earth, with your friends and family suffering heavy casualties, you regret not becoming a beast tamer. Will you muster the courage to try again, embark on the path of beast taming, and in your old age, rise up and dance with abandon?]

　　[At Tianhai No. 1 High School, which has become the lair of the Abyss Bone Dragon, make the choice to become a Beastmaster and embark on a path of revenge. Reward: Old Deng's Revenge Gift Pack.]

　　Xia Mu stared blankly at the system that had suddenly appeared.

　　No, I'm only 16? What kind of comeback is this?

　　Brother Tong, did you put this on too early?
