Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 110 Tentacle Yuri

"Grandma Uchino's cooking is amazing! Now I finally understand why your cooking is so good!"

Chiba Kaede ate the crispy cookie and then exclaimed in admiration. §.•´¨'°÷•..× ❻➈𝕊ᕼ𝓊𝔁.ςⓄᵐ ×,.•´¨'°÷•.§

"Of course, we learned cooking properly from Grandma Uchino."

Yui Takemoto said proudly.

"Hey boss, how come there's a new 'Beautiful Flower' in our backyard? Did you tame it?"

When Terada Yuri returned, the first thing she did was check on the plants in the backyard. To her surprise, she saw a beautiful flower playing with the shuttlecocks. She quickly returned to the living room to ask her boss.

"That's Miss Ayako temporarily fostering on our farm. Once Beautiful Flower learns the Grassy Field skill, she'll leave."

Chiba Kaede then recounted to the two how Ayako had entrusted the beautiful flower to them.

"Our farm has beautiful flowers! They're such lovely fairies! I must go and make friends with them!"

Upon hearing that there were beautiful flowers in the backyard, Yui Takemoto hurried over. She was completely powerless against these beautiful fairies.

After learning about the origin of the beautiful flower, Terada Yuri also returned to the backyard, clearly showing that she also liked the beautiful flower very much.

At this moment, only Chiba Kaede and Marilou were left eating cookies in the living room. Chiba Kaede squinted and glanced at the fat mouse, making the mouse feel uneasy.

Suddenly, the delicious cookies in front of Marylou didn't seem so appealing anymore. She, who had always been the pampered one, felt her status as the handsome young man was starting to waver. 💋♩ ➅➈𝔰Ĥ𝓊𝔵.𝒸𝐨𝓂 💣👍

Seeing Chiba Kaede grinning at her mischievously, Marilou quickly jumped off the chair and ran to the backyard, intending to use her unparalleled beauty to win back her trainer's heart and protect it from the Great Demon King's bullying.

Unfortunately, after arriving in the backyard and seeing Bellossom playing with its trainer, it felt defeated, and even it was somewhat captivated by Bellossom's beautiful appearance.

With the idea that if you can't beat them, join them, Mary Lou successfully integrated into the group and even danced happily with Beautiful Flower. At that moment, she felt that this wasn't so bad.

After successfully scaring Mary Lou away, Chiba Kaede began to enjoy the delicious cookies by himself when his phone suddenly vibrated.

"Hello, is this Professor Birch?"

When Chiba Kaede saw that the caller was Professor Birch, she knew that the matter of the fossil spirit's revival must have come to a conclusion.

"Yes, your spirit fossil has been successfully revived. It's a tentacle lily. I've completed my research on it. You can come to the research institute to pick it up when you have time."

Dr. Oda Birch said with a smile.

At this moment, he was clearly in a good mood, or rather, this experiment to revive the elf fossil had brought him a lot of gains.

"I understand, Doctor. It's getting late. I'll go to the research institute tomorrow morning!"

"That's all for now. Welcome, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

After hanging up with Professor Birch, Chiba Kaede took out her Pokédex and began searching for information about Tentacle Lily. ♤🐍 ❻9Şℍยא.ⓒＯ𝓜 😾♬

The top of the tentacle lily is black with two yellow eyes. It has eight pink tentacles at its top, the tips of which are a darker color. Below is a purple body with a yellow ring pattern and several yellow circular patterns, each surrounded by a ring.

Its body and the connection point at the bottom are yellow and appear to be segmented. The bottom part is shaped like a suction cup, with four protrusions around the perimeter arranged in a cross shape.

The tentacle lily once lived on the warm seabed and is an extinct species that was reconstructed from fossils about 1 million years ago. It uses its powerful suckers to attach itself to seabed rocks, and no matter how turbulent the waves, it will not be washed away.

Because it is unable to move due to its attachment to rocks, it uses its two eyes to scan its surroundings for prey. It shakes its tentacles, which may appear as seaweed, and uses its petal-like tentacles to capture prey that approaches it, then swallows the lured prey whole.

Although Tentacle Lily's appearance isn't particularly striking, and even looks somewhat strange, as a rare fossil spirit, Chiba Kaede feels she can still accept it.

Furthermore, as a Grass/Rock type, Lily of the Tentacles can also learn the Grassy Terrace move, which is practically the signature move of their Chiba Farm, playing a huge role in cultivating plants and accelerating their growth.

The next morning, Chiba Kaede set off directly to Odamaru's lab without needing to prepare anything. At Swellow's speed, the round trip to the lab wouldn't even take two hours.

Upon arriving at the Odamaru Research Institute, Chiba Kaede was greeted by Miho Kawakami, who is Dr. Odamaru's assistant. Under her guidance, Chiba Kaede arrived at a huge ecological park.

"Good morning, Xiaofeng! Welcome!"

After seeing Chiba Kaede, Professor Oda Birch waved to him and said...

Good morning, Doctor!

Chiba Kaede quickly walked up to Professor Oda Birch and politely responded.

"Come with me. Tentacle Lily has adapted to the outside environment a little, so I've placed her by the lake."

Following Professor Birch, Chiba Kaede arrived at a lake. Before she even got close, she noticed a tentacle lily clinging to a moss-covered rock by the lake, its body swaying rhythmically.

"Through this period of research, I have found that the tentacle lily still has a sense of isolation from the current environment. This means you will need to continue to help it adapt to the environment of this era, and this process will probably take quite a while. I think you need to be prepared."

Professor Birch said with a serious expression.

"I understand. I will definitely help the tentacle lilies adapt to our era!"

After making their promises, Chiba Kaede and Dr. Odama walked directly towards Tentacle Lily.

Professor Birch had a lot of confidence in Chiba Kaede, knowing he was a strong trainer and not worried about any danger he might face while catching Lily. So he left to attend to his own business.

In fact, fossil sprites that are revived through the revival machine are not much different from sprites that hatch from sprite eggs; they are both new life forms.

However, the era in which these fossil spirits lived was far too distant from the present. Their food, air, and external environment were completely different. It was as if they were born directly from ancient times into this era, without giving their bodies a slow adaptation process.

"Hello, Tentacle Lily! Nice to meet you!"

After Chiba Kaede arrived at a certain distance from the tentacle lily, she greeted it.

However, Tentacle Lily ignored him and swayed like a seaweed.

This is actually its hunting method: it disguises itself as a seaweed, uses its petal-like tentacles to capture prey that approaches it, and then swallows the prey that has been tricked into getting close.

Chiba Kaede couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be attacked directly by the tentacle lilies if he got too close, so maintaining a safe distance was necessary.

"Come out, Great Swallow!"

Chiba Kaede knew that, given the tentacle lily's ancient way of life, it was impossible to gain its approval without first defeating it.

"Swellia repens, Air Blade!"

As Chiba Maple gave the order, a huge wind blade flew towards Tentacle Lily's location. Seeing the danger approaching, Tentacle Lily condensed a rock in front of her and then flew towards the wind blade.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. The rock that Tentacle Lily had condensed using primal power was directly shattered by the air blades and continued to fly towards it.

The tentacle lily's body was struck solidly by the air blades, instantly rendering her unable to fight.

Although Lily is a fossil spirit, it has only recently emerged from its juvenile stage. Chiba Maple used Swellow to leave a strong impression on it, as only in this way could she completely subdue it.
