Elf-like Life

Chapter 42, Wanted Criminal

"Charmander, it's him, it's him!"

"He really is!!"

The little dragon then turned around.

"Sullip!!!"

Luli burst into tears, and almost fainted the moment she saw Suli's wanted poster. Fortunately, the buck-toothed raccoon cushioned her fall from behind.

Pikachu, bewildered, said, "Charmander, you're right! That Mr. Hypnos from this morning definitely had a problem!"

It turns out that Sulip was a wanted criminal who had been on the run for many years.

This bulletin board is used to post portraits of wanted criminals, and sometimes it also includes bounty missions for their capture.

And this wanted poster of Sulip has just been updated.

For various reasons, the Guard Association, which is responsible for the security of the entire Treasure Continent, has not been able to obtain evidence of Sulip's crimes, only discovering that many elves have recently been inexplicably hypnotized by him.

Furthermore, Sullip is suspected of abducting young elves.

Just a few hours ago, the Magneto Chief found irrefutable evidence in a year-old cold case and quickly released this wanted poster.

Criminal Sulip:

He is suspected of multiple crimes, including hypnosis, fraud, and abduction of young elves.

"This wanted poster came too late!"

As Charmander said this, his biggest worry now was the missing Marylou. Fortunately, he had the chance to meet the suspect, Sulip, that morning.

There is no doubt that Marylou and Sulip have gone to the Thorn Cliffs and are in constant danger.

"Waaaaah, brother, Marilyn brother!"

Ruri was crying uncontrollably, and no matter how much the buck-toothed raccoon tried to comfort her with balloons, it didn't work. Charmander immediately signaled to Pikachu that they couldn't waste time there:

"Pikachu, let's go to Thorncliff now, we can't wait any longer!"

"Marilou may have already been..."

Although they unlocked a new location, neither of the two little ones had ever been to Thorn Cliff before. Fortunately, the buck-toothed raccoon next to them knew some information.

Three months ago, the buck-toothed raccoon went to the Thorn Cliffs. Because it often gets lost, it almost got lost again and was not familiar with the specific mountain paths.

However, he was at least able to mark the exact location on the incredible map.

Thorn Cliff is located directly north of Treasure Town and is a barren, rocky mountain.

"OK, thank you for providing the route, senior Bucktooth Raccoon. Let's set off now!"

Before Charmander could finish speaking, the buck-toothed raccoon and Lulili said in unison:

"Let's go too!"

No, Lulili absolutely cannot go. Right now, even the buck-toothed raccoon isn't familiar with the mountain paths there. It would be better to stay and keep an eye on this agitated little guy.

After making his decision, Charmander quickly packed his adventure backpack.

The buck-toothed raccoon could only nod: "Oh my God, all of this happened so suddenly."

"I really have no sense of direction, so I won't hold you back. I'll take good care of little Luli..."

Before she could finish speaking, little Ruri started crying and insisted on setting off with the two older brothers. Charmander wouldn't allow it, and Pikachu certainly wouldn't allow it either.

We had no choice but to ask the buck-toothed raccoon to comfort the little guy for the time being.

"My God, the wanted criminals on that bulletin board are always strong. I wonder if you two juniors can handle it."

The buck-toothed raccoon explained, "I was just a little worried about you. Take these blue tangerines with you; you'll definitely need them on the way!"

[Ding! You have obtained 6 Blue Orange Fruits from the Bucktooth Raccoon.]

With everything ready, Charmander and Pikachu didn't have time to strike any poses this time. They raced against time to head to the Thorn Cliff.

During this period, they strive to find Marylou as quickly as possible and return in triumph.

Watching the two little ones resolutely walk away, the buck-toothed raccoon took out another colorful balloon, waved it in front of little Lulily, and offered some words of comfort:

"Good girl, little Luli, how about I take you to pray for the older brothers later? We can cheer them on in this way too~"

"Waaaah, what is prayer?!"

"I want my brother Marilyn!!"

"I want Charmander back, and I hope Pikachu comes back safe and sound!!!"

At the last moment, the buck-toothed raccoon nodded憨憨地, warmly telling little Lulily that everything would be alright.

So the two little ones quickly made their way to the thorny cliffs following the incredible map.

[Maze Name: Thorn Cliff]

English name: The Thorn Valley

Number of floors: 10F

Items that appear: Pocket Coins, Apples, Geodude Stones, Seeds.

Living Pokémon: Nidorina, Nidorino, Machop, Geodude, Dodo, Ball

Maze Environment Overview: This is a relatively desolate cliff, mainly planted with alpine brambles. Rainfall is scarce, hence the name Bramble Cliff.

A dry, yellow wind whipped up sand and dust.

Amidst the flying sand and swirling stones, the two little ones moved swiftly without daring to slack off.

The sandstorms weren't as severe as sandstorms; due to the mountainous terrain, they were mostly sand-blowing winds similar to those on the Loess Plateau.

Therefore, it is not surprising that such areas would be inhabited by a large number of small boulders.

Moreover, you can often see spider webs among the rocks on the mountainside; those are the masterpieces of the yarn balls.

As for little sprites like Dudu, they often appear in this area. In short, this is a typical mountainous terrain.

The two little ones only realized how different the environment was from the Mushroom Forest when they arrived at the Thorn Cliff.

In this high-altitude region, it may not rain for months, let alone find a trace of clear mountain spring water; the entire route is almost entirely composed of towering, large rocks.

"There's not a single drop of water here, let alone any water-based floating platform!"

Pikachu walked along, saying:

"It's obvious that a water float couldn't possibly appear in a place like this. Charmander, you were absolutely right!"

In fact, Charmander's judgment is based entirely on human thinking, which is the commonly used micro-expression judgment + sixth sense.

The little dragon happened to see Sulip's unintentional wicked smile, and even though he immediately withdrew his expression, it still represented evil in micro-expression studies.

As for the sixth sense, it's the overall perception that Sulip isn't a good elf, a point that was later confirmed by the wanted posters.

The sand and stones continued to fly.

The two little ones, struggling to make their way through the thorny cliffs, suddenly slowed down.

They had already entered the Geodude's usual habitat, and the sudden attack was hard to defend against!

"PIU——"

A small, dark gray stone fell directly from the sky, arcing towards the two children!

"Pikachu, watch out from the sky!"

Fortunately, the two little ones reacted quickly enough and successfully dodged the first rock, but then a second wave of rocks came flying in.

This time, three stones were thrown at once, simultaneously from the front, back, and upper left!

"PIU——"

"PIU——"

"PIU——"

Is this how the little geopherds attack?

"Watch out, little dragon!!"

"Those stones are a type of throwing attack item called Geodude Stones; getting hit by them will reduce your HP!"

In an instant, the small boulders among the rocks appeared one after another as they launched their stone attacks, and a battle became inevitable.

"I'm going to ride Pikachu, so be careful!"

Meanwhile, the Geodude X8s are switching from offense to defense, all adopting a hardening stance.

A new maze has opened, and the two little ones are determined to get justice from Sulip for Lulily's sake. Besides, Sulip is a wanted criminal, so they can't let this go!
