Chapter 152 Unicorn Beetle, Iron-shelled Pupa, Beedrill

After putting away the three Slowpokes, Jiang Yan searched the surrounding area carefully and found five more Slowpokes basking in the sun on the lawn not far away.

Jiang Yan easily subdued the five Slowpokes.

To Jiang Yan's even greater surprise, he also found several giant tongue shells in the shallow reef area near the group of dazed beasts.

Slowpoke's evolution requires Shellder to bite its tail.

Since he had encountered it, Jiang Yan simply put it away as well.

After putting away Slowpoke and Shellder, Jiang Yan thought for a moment and decided not to continue searching in the water.

After all, there aren't many different kinds of Pokémon in these small rivers.

Looking around, there were no markers, but Jiang Yan didn't pay any attention. He randomly chose a direction and continued his search for Pokémon.

After walking for a few minutes, Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and fixed on a low-lying tree branch in front of him.

There lay a small, yellowish-brown insect with seven pairs of pinkish-white legs. A sharp, white, poisonous spine stood upright on its head and tail. It was slowly nibbling at the leaves. It was a unicorn beetle.

The final evolutionary form of the unicorn beetle is the beetle.

While beelets don't produce honey, they do collect pollen.

Some bear cub honey is made by mixing fruit with pollen collected by bee bees.

Therefore, Jiang Yan would not miss it.

Jiang Yan strode forward and came to the unicorn beetle's side, reaching out to grab it.

The unicorn beetle stopped eating when Jiang Yan approached, its body tensed up, and it stared at Jiang Yan warily.

Upon seeing Jiang Yan's palm reaching out towards it, the unicorn was immediately enraged. Its white horn pointed at Jiang Yan's palm, its body glowing faintly, and it charged forward with all its might!

"Smack."

With a soft thud, the unicorn beetle's sharp horn pierced Jiang Yan's palm, bringing a slight pain and a considerable impact.

However, this attack was completely insignificant to Jiang Yan.

With a gentle clasp of his hands, he firmly grasped the struggling unicorn beetle in his palm, and with a thought, sent it directly into the Food Restaurant.

After collecting the first unicorn beetle, Jiang Yan's luck improved even more; a short while later, he found another one on a nearby tree leaf—

The second unicorn was easily collected using the same method.

Just as Jiang Yan was about to continue his search, he caught a glimpse of a yellowish-green pupa hanging on a tree trunk out of the corner of his eye. It was the evolved form of the unicorn beetle, the iron-shelled pupa.

The iron-shelled pupa hung motionless on the branch. Apart from passively using the hardening skill, it could only move slightly, making it easier to catch than a unicorn beetle.

Jiang Yan reached out and easily picked off the iron-shelled pupa as if it were fruit, then casually put it into the "Food Restaurant".

Afterwards, Jiang Yan found several more unicorn beetles and iron-shelled pupae on nearby trees and took them all into the "Food Restaurant".

Just as Jiang Yan was putting away the newly found iron-shelled pupa, he suddenly heard a rapid buzzing sound in his ears.

Soon, two large bee with yellow and black stripes and sharp, gleaming needles rushed toward him, flapping their wings!

Jiang Yan was not flustered at all; on the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised.

The unicorn and the metal pupa still need to evolve, but the beedrill is already useful.

Moreover, the presence of so many unicorns, iron-shelled pupae, and beedrills in this area clearly indicates that the beedrill's nest is nearby!

-

The hives of bee bees should contain the pollen they have collected, so don't miss them.

In stark contrast to Jiang Yan's surprise, the two giant beebeests became extremely furious the moment they saw him.

At this moment, Jiang Yan was an enemy who had invaded their territory. The Beedrill's wings vibrated more and more rapidly, and the stingers on its hands gleamed with a cold light. Without hesitation, it launched an attack on Jiang Yan!

Unfortunately, the attacks of these two giant bee bees were no match for Jiang Yan.

With a slight movement, he easily dodged the attack, casually grabbed one of the giant bee, and sent it into the space.

Seeing this, the other bee realized it was no match for the human before it and stopped attacking. Instead, it turned around and flew off in a certain direction.

Jiang Yan smiled; he had actually let the giant bee go on purpose.

The goal is simple: to get this bee to lead the way to the bee colony's hive.

Jiang Yan followed the fleeing giant bee at a leisurely pace, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far, allowing him to keep a firm grip on his target without alerting it.

A few minutes later, the fleeing bee finally stopped in front of a towering tree. Jiang Yan looked up and saw a huge—

The enormous beehive hung firmly on the thick branch.

Before you even get close, an extremely rich floral fragrance wafts over you, penetrating your nostrils and invigorating your spirit.

"It seems the bees have collected a lot of pollen."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile.

Besides the enormous beehive, there were also more than a dozen iron-shelled pupae hanging densely on the nearby tree trunks.

Just as Jiang Yan was looking around, a dense buzzing sound suddenly came from inside the hive, followed by more than a dozen large bees flying out of the hive entrance aggressively.

At the very front of this swarm of Beedrill, a giant Beedrill, twice the size of a normal Beedrill, slowly flapped its wings, radiating an even stronger aura. It was clearly the leader of this swarm!

"I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain."

A hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Yan's eyes as he stared at the giant Beedrill with great interest.

Occasionally, beings emerge from the Pokémon species that are far larger than ordinary individuals. They possess greater strength, more outstanding talents, and potential that can even rival rare Shiny Pokémon, making them incredibly precious.

The giant bee in front of him was clearly a special individual like this, and since he had encountered it, there was no reason for him to let it go.

However, in contrast to Jiang Yan's surprise, the giant bee swarm seemed quite agitated, their gazes towards Jiang Yan filled with ferocity.

The wings vibrated rapidly, producing a deafening buzz, and the needles on its arm were already aimed at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan stretched his neck and wrists, his bones making a slight cracking sound, and his eyes instantly became focused.

There are so many bee horns in front of us; it will probably take quite a bit of effort to catch them.

Om-!

Without the slightest hesitation, the Beedrill leader swooped down in a sharp flapping sound, transforming into a yellow-black afterimage.

Seven or eight large bees followed closely behind, like well-trained soldiers, and swarmed towards Jiang Yan in a pincer movement.

At this moment, the stingers on the hands of these giant bees gleamed with a faint, shimmering white light, and energy condensed at the tips of the stingers. They had clearly activated close-range attacks and were just waiting to get close before launching a fierce attack.

The remaining Beedrill didn't sit idle either, immediately launching a long-range suppression attack.

The white light on some of the large bee needles suddenly condensed, and countless tiny light needles shot out like a torrential rain.

The Bug-type move Pin Missile isn't particularly powerful on its own, but it excels in its extremely high attack frequency and wide coverage, making it perfect for blocking movement.

-

The other group of giant bees aimed their stingers at Jiang Yan, a faint purple light gathering at the tips. Soon, several poison-attribute light needles pierced through the air, which was the Poison Needle technique.

Missiles and poison needles intertwined to form a dense barrage of fire, covering Jiang Yan's entire body and almost sealing off all space for evasion.

"I didn't expect Beedrill to be so strategic."

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. Although with his physical strength, he might not be injured even if he withstood these attacks, being covered in bruises from them was not a pleasant experience.

Moreover, Jiang Yan was still quite wary of poison.

His pace suddenly quickened, and he nimbly weaved through the dense attacks, narrowly avoiding most of the missiles and poison needles as he dodged left and right.

After all, this isn't a game; there's no such thing as a guaranteed hit. As long as your reaction is fast enough, you can dodge attacks using your movement skills.

Of course, because the attacks were so dense, there were occasional stragglers, but Jiang Yan blocked them with his "firm" technique.

However, his clothes were somewhat torn, which left Jiang Yan feeling quite helpless.
