Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 5 Encounter in the Forest

"Toughswan uses Quick Attack to approach Ekans and then uses Peck Attack. New 69 Bookstore →"

Not far from the territory of the Argent Swallow, Chiba Maple encountered an Arbok blocking his path. This Arbok was different from the one he had encountered when fetching water earlier.

Not only was it much larger in size, but you could also feel the aura of a predator in its eyes. This aura was also present in Swellow, and it grew stronger with each Pokémon it hunted.

Chiba Kaede guessed that the location they were in belonged to the territory of this Arbok, which was why it came out to block him.

If Chiba Kaede were to retreat now, she could most likely avoid this battle.

But this is the only way out, so how could he possibly give up?

That's how this battle came about.

Following his command, the proud swallow attacked Arbok directly, moving towards it as fast as lightning.

However, the Arbok on the other side was clearly no pushover either. It spat out several venomous needles from its mouth and flew towards the Swellow.

If it were the Aoguyan before training, it certainly wouldn't be able to dodge these poison needles, but for the current Aoguyan, dodging them is not difficult.

In the blink of an eye, the Turtlefly flashed behind Ekans, and then, its beak glowing, it pecked at Ekans' head.

Clearly, Arbok hadn't expected the Tauntlet to be so agile. By now, it was too late to dodge, and it could only tilt its head slightly.

Unfortunately, it still couldn't dodge and was hit by the Tailwing's peck attack, which immediately put the Arbok into a near-death state.

The Argentavis did not stop its attack, intending to use its peck to kill the Arbok once more.

"Stop, Aogu Yan!"

Although somewhat unclear why Chiba Maple told it to stop, Aogu Yan, trusting him, promptly ceased its attack.

Of course, Chiba Kaede had her reasons for this; the reason the Taunton had hunted the elves was to use them as food for the two of them.

However, food is not scarce now, and killing Arbok at this time would not allow you to take it away, as the fresh Pokémon corpses would inevitably attract a large number of predators.

Killing Arbok now serves no purpose; it's just killing for the sake of killing.

He now needs to start teaching the Toughspin that it cannot hunt elves at will.

Otherwise, once they're outside, if Taillow loses control during a battle with another trainer and accidentally kills their Pokémon, it will definitely cause Chiba a lot of trouble.

So Chiba Kaede took this opportunity to explain to Taikuyan why she made it stop, expressing her stance on the spirits and hoping to gain Taikuyan's understanding.

"Hiss, hiss!"

After hearing Qianye Feng's explanation, Aogu Yan pondered for a moment before nodding at him.

Seeing Aogu Yan is understandable, and Chiba Kaede is also very pleased.

Once outside, Swellow will no longer need to hunt Pokémon for food, as there are special Pokémon foods sold in the shops.

Pokémon are incredibly resilient creatures. Even though Ekans is currently on the verge of death, it can recover given enough time.

Of course, this is on the premise that you don't encounter any other predators during this period.

Chiba Kaede certainly wouldn't waste her healing chances on Arbok. She didn't know what dangers she might encounter on the way, so she needed to save her healing chances for any eventuality.

Preventing Tailwing from killing Arbok was his last act of mercy; whether Arbok would encounter further danger was beyond his control. 🏆♤ ➅➈ˢ𝓱Ữ𝓧.c𝑜м ☯♗

For the rest of the journey, Chiba Maple did not encounter any major trouble, and the elves that wanted to cause him trouble were all driven away by Swellow.

After walking until dark, Chiba Kaede was exhausted, so he found a large tree with a hollow at the bottom, tidied it up a bit, and used it as a temporary shelter.

After he and Aogu Yan ate some dried meat, they began to rest.

Chiba Kaede planned to sleep for the first half of the night and then let Aoguyan sleep for the second half, so as to prevent wild Pokémon from attacking without her noticing.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves.

Chiba Maple had instructed Aogu Yan to wake him up at the appointed time, but clearly Aogu Yan did not do so.

Although he knew that Aogu Yan wanted him to rest more, Qianye Feng still lectured Aogu Yan for a while.

After all, he was able to leave this forest mainly thanks to the Aoguyan. If the Aoguyan was not in good condition during the day, it would be a rather dangerous situation.

After talking for a while, Chiba Maple didn't know if Aoguyan had listened. But since it had already happened, there was nothing that could be done. Besides, elves do have much more energy than humans, so not sleeping for a day doesn't really have a big impact.

He had already decided that if they hadn't made it out of the forest by tonight, he would let Aoguyan rest first, and he would take the night shift.

After a quick tidying up, the human and the elf continued their journey.

During this time, Chiba Kaede found some tree fruits. Although there was still a good supply of dried meat, he still picked some to eat.

"Proud Swallow, something's not right!"

This is the third day since Chiba Kaede set off. The biggest danger they encountered in the first two days was Ekans, while the other Pokémon posed no threat to Taillow.

By noon today, Chiba Maple had already walked quite a distance in the forest, but had not encountered another elf along the way.

There can only be one reason for this phenomenon: a powerful spirit lives in the vicinity.

Only in this way can other elves be deterred from approaching this area.

This also means that trouble is coming for them.

"roar!"

Suddenly, a roar came from over there.

Chiba Kaede turned her head and immediately sensed that the situation was very bad.

It was the Straight Bear that arrived. It would attack any person or elf that entered its territory, as this was the only way to maintain its position in the area.

The moment Chiba saw the charging bear, he knew that a battle between them was inevitable.

"Proud Swallow, unleash your cry at the charging bear!"

Upon hearing Qianye Feng's instructions, Aogu Yan immediately sprang into action.

The charging bear opposite was enraged when it saw that the little guy in front of it dared to attack it first.

A large amount of energy gathered in its mouth; this was the Hyper Beam move. I never expected that the Brutus would have such a powerful skill.

"Proud Swallow, get out of the way!"

With Aoguyan's current speed, as long as one doesn't underestimate the enemy, it's not so easy for her to be hit by the Destruction Beam.

"boom"

The bear's destructive beam was aimed at the arrogant swallow, but it was easily dodged by the swallow.

"Proud Swallow, use Lightning Beak."

To shorten the instructions, Chiba Kaede named the combo move of Lightning Flash and Peck Lightning Peck.

After using Hyper Beam, the Bear will be unable to use skills for a period of time, so Chiba Kaede had Takagi take advantage of this opportunity to attack.

Without hesitation, the proud swallow flew towards the charging bear like lightning and then pecked at its head.

Pokémon that have encountered such attacks in the past have basically lost their ability to fight.

Unfortunately, the Pokémon we encountered this time was Ursaring. Although the attack did cause some damage, it was only a minor injury for Ursaring, far from rendering it unable to fight.

"Proud Swallow, create distance, then use Gathering Qi!"

After landing a successful attack, Chiba immediately ordered Aoguyan to create distance to prevent Straight Bear from attacking Aoguyan after it was stunned.

This command is undoubtedly correct.

After regaining its mobility, the Straight Bear immediately used its headbutt skill, almost hitting the Unyielding Swallow.

Knowing that it wouldn't be easy to hit a Tauntlet flying in the air with Hyper Beam, Kuma used High Speed ​​Star directly on Tauntlet, who was using a Charge move.

Unwilling to stop strengthening, the Pride Swallow was hit by a high-speed star attack. This attack caused considerable damage to the Pride Swallow, but it did not affect its flight.

The rhythm of the battle was then taken over by the proud swallow, which remembered the strategy for fighting the enemy that Qianye Feng had told it before.

When encountering a Pokémon as strong as Ursaring, the best approach is to use your superior speed to gradually build up your advantage and win by inflicting injuries.

Ultimately, Ursaring, the dominant Pokémon in this region, fell to Taillow's attack.

However, the proud swallow didn't fare any better. After seeing the straight-rushing bear fall, it couldn't hold on any longer and fell directly to the ground.

Chiba Kaede rushed forward to treat it. At this moment, the injuries that Aoguyan had suffered were no less severe than when it first met Chiba Kaede.
