Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

"You said."

Lin Xuan smiled and then asked:

“It’s simple. Tell me where the ice cave you just saw is. I want to go and see it.”

Lin Xuan didn't care about ice stones, unless they were the highest quality ones like the ones used by Gallade, but those were unlikely to appear here. His purpose in going there was to check the situation.

This place has been peaceful for so long, so why has such a powerful Ice Rock Monster suddenly appeared? As a disciple of the Jin Hui Gym, Lin Xuan felt it was necessary to go and investigate.

Chapter 308 Lin Xuan's physical attack reached 13,000 points

"The ice cave from just now?"

Lian Qi was stunned for a moment, then quickly tried to dissuade Lin Xuan.

"It's better not to go there. Although there may be a lot of ice stones down there, it's too dangerous. We've only been in there a short time when an Ice Rock Monster appeared. There might be other terrifying Pokémon inside."

Lian Qi had clearly misunderstood Lin Xuan's meaning. He thought Lin Xuan went there for the ice stones, which was understandable, since if they hadn't lied, there might indeed be quite a few ice stones underneath.

Even if Lin Xuan isn't interested in that one ice stone, things might change if there are many of them.

Of course, if they were given another chance, they would definitely not go there; they didn't want to experience being hunted down again.

"I just wanted to go and check the situation. There are usually no Pokémon here, and people usually let their guard down when they pass by. If this problem isn't investigated, people who come here later may be in danger."

"As expected of disciples of Jinhui Martial Arts Academy, their ideological awareness is indeed higher than ours!"

Perhaps because they had been saved by Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan was now seen as radiating Buddha's light, the kind of person who would surely produce relics after cremation.

With this kind of psychological support, they would subconsciously feel that whatever Lin Xuan said made sense.

"We haven't changed direction since we escaped from there. And the Ice Rock Monster's body is so heavy that it's impossible for it to leave no marks on the ice. We should get there if we follow this line. It's not very far. My Flame Horse has only been running for a short while."

Lian Qi pointed in a direction not far away and said to Lin Xuan.

"Okay, thank you very much!"

After saying that, Lin Xuan directly pulled up the little dot that was flying by. This guy was still playing with the tail hair of the Rapidash and looked like he was having a great time. The Rapidash was angry but dared not say anything. Then Lin Xuan pulled it back.

"Let's go, let's go see what's going on."

Seeing Lin Xuan head towards the direction where Lian Qi and the others had come from, the other elves quickly followed.

"Be careful on your journey!"

The two called out in the direction Lin Xuan had left, waving at the same time. Only after Lin Xuan's figure disappeared from sight did Wei Ming seem to come back to his senses and look at Lian Qi, his eyes seemingly filled with some doubt.

"what happened?"

"I feel like I've seen these disciples from Jinhui Martial Arts Academy somewhere before; they look familiar."

"It's probably in some kind of competition, like a provincial competition or something. Didn't they often broadcast it on TV before?"

"Maybe, that's probably how it is."

After saying this, the two left in the opposite direction from Lin Xuan. Their destination was Jinhui City. Having barely escaped from danger, they naturally wanted to leave as soon as possible. If it weren't for the fact that the Flaming Horse had used up too much energy during the chase, they probably would have already mounted the horse and galloped away.

"Is this where it is?"

Although the entire frozen lake was a vast expanse of white, the abrupt depression there was still very noticeable, and Lin Xuan spotted it at a glance, even from a short distance away.

The trail of the Ice Rock Monster can only be traced back to this place. Coupled with the large pit in front of us, this should be the place that Lian Qi and Wei Ming were talking about earlier.

"Let's go down and take a look, but be careful, there might be some Pokémon like Ice Rock Monster."

As Lin Xuan approached, she reminded the few elves beside her.

"Boy!"

Leave this little thing to me!

Lying in Lin Xuan's arms, Eevee casually waved its paw. With its ability to sense danger, it could sense any attack coming towards Lin Xuan immediately and use its superpower to protect her.

There's absolutely no need to worry about safety; it offers 360-degree protection with no blind spots.

"Ailu!"

Gallade nodded to Lin Xuan and volunteered to walk in front. He was indeed the most suitable person to scout ahead. If a powerful enemy appeared ahead, he could retreat immediately. If Lin Xuan was in any danger, he could come and protect him in time.

"Dan...Dan Dan!"

【I...I'll take the lead in slacking off!】

"Sweat~"

Me too~

After thinking about it, it seemed like Eevee and Gallade were taking care of all the work, so he was forced to slack off.

That being said, Little Dot still flew around Eevee, while the pair of rats looked extremely tense. Lin Xuan really wanted them to relax, because if they really encountered a strong opponent, they would just be cheerleaders on the sidelines.

But after thinking about it, Lin Xuan decided not to say these words, as it would be too hurtful to Shushu's pride.

"Is this also ice formed from lake water?"

As Lin Xuan walked down, he frowned and touched the ice wall. His guess was probably right. This so-called ice cave was no different from the ice lake he had passed before, except that the frozen area was deeper.

For example, in the place where Gallade and Glaceon fought, the ice was very deep, but Glaceon was easily smashed through by Gallade's powerful sword strike. Obviously, that wouldn't have happened here.

But why is there such a big difference when the distance is so short?

"Ibrahimovic, do you feel that it's colder here than where we were just now?"

"Buy?"

Ibu tilted her head. She didn't feel anything. After all, with her strength, even if she fell into boiling water, it would only be a bath. This change in temperature wouldn't affect her at all.

However, Lin Xuan's reminder made her notice that the temperature here did seem to be lower than the previous place.

Ibrahimovic then nodded.

"Sure enough, I feel much colder now!"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but shudder. It was all Luo Guan's fault; otherwise, if she were wearing a warm down jacket, she would definitely feel much better!

"Bu...Bui!"

Seeing Lin Xuan so cold, Eevee felt a little sorry for her and was about to ask if Lin Xuan wanted to find a small fire to light when Lin Xuan took action first, directly sticking her two frozen hands under Eevee's armpits.

"Phew~ That feels so good~"

"Booi!!!!"

Have some decency!

Ibrahimovic wanted to slap himself for having felt pity for Lin Xuan earlier. That guy deserved to freeze to death!

"Ailu!"

Just as Eevee was wondering whether to get up and give Lin Xuan a swipe, Gallade, who was walking at the front, spoke up.

"Did you find anything?"

Lin Lian hurried over, and Gallade quietly picked up a blue "ice block" from the ground, then approached and handed it to Lin Xuan.

"This is... an ice stone?"

Lin Xuan didn't take it, since she still needed to hold Eevee to keep warm, but she bent down slightly to examine it carefully.

"It contains quite a few impurities, so it's considered a fairly ordinary quality ice stone." Lin Xuan gave her conclusion in less than three seconds.

It's about the same as the one I bought at the beginning, but it's a bit different from the one that Lian Qi and the others just took out.

"This ice cave must have been formed recently, otherwise there would be no reason why it wouldn't have been discovered. If it was originally just an ordinary layer of ice, then why are there ice stones here?"

Lin Xuan felt confused, but she continued walking down the path.

"This should be where that ice rock monster used to live."

Lin Xuan glanced at it a few times and saw obvious signs that Pokémon had lived there. There were also some bumps and knocks on the top of the ice layer, which probably meant that the big guy, Ice Rock Monster, didn't notice when it looked up.

Ignoring this, Lin Xuan continued walking down, and then he saw a scene that made him stand still.

"This is... lake water?"

Upon reaching the bottom, Lin Xuan did find a few ice stones, but they were nothing like the so-called "large quantity of ice stones." It was probably just that Lian Qi and the others were lucky enough to find a decent quality one on the outermost edge.

Most importantly, at the very bottom there is a small flat area, which, while not perfectly flat, is just big enough for a person to stand on.

"Dandan?"

Xiao Dian scratched his head, not understanding why Lin Xuan was dumbfounded after seeing this, and then Lin Xuan slapped him on the head.

"I told you to study hard, but you never listen. We've gone this far down; if this area were below the normal lake level, it should have overflowed by now."

Even though this is an elf world, shouldn't basic physical laws still apply? Otherwise, Newton might really want to come out and beat someone up.

"Dandan~"

After being hit, Xiaodian shrugged. "If we calculate by human age, he shouldn't even be able to go to daycare right now. What are you thinking?"

"Boy!"

Just as Lin Xuan was pondering the physics of this world, Eevee, who was in his arms, suddenly tugged at his sleeve.
