Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 2 An Encounter

Since there was no other choice, Chiba Kaede didn't dwell on it. After picking up a reasonably sturdy stick from under a tree, she stepped into the jungle. 🍓 ⋆ 🍦 🎀 60km.kiss 🎀 🍦 ⋆ 🍓

As Chiba Maple ventured deeper into the area, she encountered more and more spirits.

Insects were eating leaves in the trees, and bird sprites would occasionally hop out from the canopy, the most common being the proud swallow and the finless jay.

Fortunately, these elves didn't pay much attention to him, probably because Chiba Maple wasn't in their hunting range!

As long as Chiba Kaede doesn't provoke them, they won't attack him.

After searching for a while, Chiba Kaede finally found a fruit tree with some fruit on it. After observing the surroundings for a while, she noticed a shrike pecking at one of the fruits and then flying away.

This discovery made Chiba Kaede realize that the fruit in front of him was non-toxic and edible. He quickly picked a few fruits and then immediately moved away from the fruit tree.

Chiba Kaede didn't dare linger in the jungle. He jogged back along the path he had come from to the tree near the beach. After catching his breath, he finally had time to examine the fruit he had picked.

These fruits resembled oranges from my previous life, except that their peels were blue and covered with spots.

In her previous life, when Chiba Kaede played Pokémon games, she never paid special attention to the shape and effects of the berries, so she didn't know what kind of berry this was.

However, he was tired and hungry, so he didn't care about anything else. He broke open the hard outer skin and started eating the fruit inside.

Upon first bite, an indescribable flavor exploded in Chiba Kaede's mouth—a touch of sourness, a hint of bitterness with a hint of spiciness. These flavors blended together to create a unique taste, though it wasn't unpleasant. 💔🐉 ➅❾ˢⓗⓤＸ.Ćσ𝐦 💔🍓

After eating a tree fruit, the intense thirst and hunger were immediately relieved, and even some of the energy was restored.

In the end, Chiba Kaede only ate two tree fruits, leaving one to eat later when she got hungry.

Seeing the sun already setting in the west, Chiba Kaede knew she needed to take action, at least to light a fire so that some dangers could be dispelled during the night.

After collecting enough wood, Chiba Kaede lit a fire by friction. Perhaps because it was summer and the weather was very hot, he didn't have much trouble getting the fire going.

As darkness fell, Chiba Kaede could only lean against a tree and rest. Today's events were too bizarre, and he needed some time to process them.

As he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard something in the forest snapping a branch and rushing toward him.

Before long, Chiba Kaede saw a proud swallow covered in wounds stumble out of the forest and fall directly onto the beach.

After falling onto the beach, the proud swallow tried to fly, but unfortunately one of its wings was also seriously injured and could not support it to fly.

At this moment, Chiba Kaede slowly walked towards Aogu Yan.

"Hiss, hiss!"

Upon seeing a human approaching, the proud swallow struggled even more violently. It didn't know if the human wanted to harm it, and its long life in the wild taught it that at this moment, it should fly back to the tree first.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, Aoguyan!"

Chiba Kaede stopped a few steps away from Aogu Yan, trying to soothe her. 🌷♡ ➅❾Şђย𝕏.匚ｏ𝓂 🍔👌

Seeing that the human in front of it did not rush up to grab it, the proud swallow gradually calmed down, only looking at Qianye Feng.

"I have a way to save you, but it requires physical contact with your body. Do you agree?"

Chiba Maple dared not rashly approach the Proud Swallow. Although the Proud Swallow was in a bad state, it was impossible to determine whether it still had the strength to attack.

Although the humans in this world are much better physically than in their previous life, they are still far inferior to elves, and Chiba Kaede doesn't want to waste another chance for treatment.

After hearing that Qianye Feng had a way to save her, Aogu Yan pondered for a moment and then nodded to him.

After receiving permission from Aoguyan, Qianye Feng approached Aoguyan and placed his right hand on its back.

"treat!"

As Chiba Kaede silently recited the mantra, his right hand emitted a vibrant green light, standing out conspicuously in the darkness.

Aogu Yan could also feel a power entering her body, rapidly repairing her injuries.

Shortly after the light faded, Chiba Kaede withdrew his right hand and took a few steps back.

After assessing her own condition, Aogu Yan felt she was in the most perfect state she had ever been since birth.

Chiba Maple's treatment not only repaired the injuries it had sustained this time, but also healed its previous hidden wounds. Now it felt completely refreshed and had inexhaustible energy.

Even if it goes back to find the Fiery Sparrows that hurt it, it can still have a fierce battle.

After gently flapping its wings a few times, the proud swallow had already taken to the air.

After flying around rapidly in the air a few times, the proud swallow landed on Chiba Kaede's shoulder and nuzzled his face with its head.

At this moment, Chiba Kaede also sensed the gas in his dantian and found that its volume had decreased by half again.

"It seems I only have one chance for treatment, and I don't even know if I can recover!"

Chiba Kaede wasn't sure if the gas would return, but saving Aogu Yan was his only option.

On one hand, he couldn't bear to see the proud swallow die like this; on the other hand, he also needed the proud swallow's power to help him get out of the jungle and find traces of human towns.

Chiba Kaede patted Aogu Yan's back, and Aogu Yan didn't refuse; instead, she comfortably squinted her eyes.

"Here, have this!"

Chiba Kaede took out the tree fruit she had originally intended to have as a midnight snack and handed it to Aogu Yan.

Because Chiba Kaede discovered that although Aogu Yan had been healed by him, her stomach was still rumbling.

It must have been severely injured while fighting with other Pokémon for food.

After glancing at Qianye Feng, Aogu Yan didn't stand on ceremony and quickly began pecking at the tree fruit in front of it.

Chiba Kaede placed the tree fruit on the ground for Aoguyan to peck at, while he added some wood to the fire to prevent it from going out.

After finishing the tree fruit, the proud swallow did not leave, but flew into Qianye Feng's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Chiba Kaede was the same; he was already very tired and fell asleep soon after.

The next morning,

Chiba Kaede woke up amidst a series of cries. When he opened his eyes, he saw a scene that horrified him: a half-eaten stinging worm was placed in front of him.

Meanwhile, the proud swallow perched on a branch above him, chirping at him.

Chiba Kaede instantly understood what Aogu Yan meant: he wanted him to eat the rest of the insect meat.

At this moment, some information about Aogu Yan also came back to his mind. He must have seen it in his previous life, but he didn't know why it appeared so clearly in his mind.

The proud swallow resembles a house swallow, with deep blue feathers covering most of its body, pure white feathers on its belly, and red feathers on its head and neck. It has gray eyes and a yellow beak, and its feet are as dark blue as its feathers.

The Great Swan is small in stature but extremely brave, capable of going toe-to-toe with the enormous armored bird. It is not adept at coping with the cold season, and will fly 300 kilometers a day in search of warmer lands.

Having just left the nest, it sometimes cries at night because it's so lonely. It bravely challenges any opponent, no matter how strong, and has the perseverance to not be discouraged even in defeat. It feeds on stinging insects that live in the forest, but becomes very cowardly and cries loudly when hungry.

The stinging worm is the main food of the proud swallow, proving that in the real world, the survival of the fittest is indeed the norm.

After thinking it through, Chiba Kaede stopped worrying about it. If he wanted to survive, he had to eat the insect meat in front of him. Otherwise, relying solely on finding tree fruits would not only be dangerous, but it would also be difficult to fill his stomach.

He then found a sharp stone and dragged the worm to the beach to process it, keeping only the worm meat and throwing the other internal organs and skin into the sea.

This immediately attracted a lot of Magikarp to fight over it.
