Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

There's simply no way to collect them...

Jiang Gu reached out his hand and felt the pure, emerald-green energy slowly seeping into his body.

However, due to the obstruction of the nanosuit, the energy only condensed into a vibrant green film around the silver protective suit on his body...

"Indeed, it's a good product!"

Jiang Gu sighed, even through the protective suit, he could feel the rich vitality in this photosynthetic energy!

This will definitely be of great benefit to Grass-type Pokémon!

"It's a pity, I can't collect them myself."

He said it was a pity, but his expression remained calm.

Because the intermediate collector that Jiang Gu exchanged for has a function to collect this kind of energy body.

Since Jiang Gu himself couldn't collect the photosynthetic energy, he could just record its approximate location—that would do the same thing!

He had already planned it out: first, he would collect the coordinates of locations where photosynthetic energy was abundant.

When we return from Kross this time...

Jiang Gu left the exploration vehicle on Kross, allowing it to autonomously collect photosynthetic energy and topaz ore.

Next time, when I come...

Another large sum of resources is about to be deposited!

The next period of time will be both arduous and fulfilling for Jiang Gu.

The swamps on Kross are quite difficult to traverse; one can easily sink into the mud and then have to exert a lot of effort to climb out.

Moreover, Jiang Gu's luck was also quite poor; he didn't encounter any Little Sprouts or Cactus with Heavenly King-level aptitude.

Basically, I suffered a lot and gained very little...

However, he found a total of 7 coordinates where photosynthetic energy existed!

Without a doubt, he'll become rich overnight when he returns to Kross!

Because the time flow rates in the Seer universe and the Pokémon world are different.

One hour in the Pokémon world is equivalent to one day here...

When Jiang Gu comes back next time, the exploration vehicle he plans to leave behind this time will be enough to collect all the photosynthetic energy from these locations!

So many resources...

You can definitely make a fortune!

"Alright, let's go explore the forests of Kross now..."

"Let's see if we can catch a high-quality Yiyi."

"I'll stay for another day or so, then I should head back."

Jiang Gu jumped down from a boulder in the Kross swamp and pondered.

Photosynthetic energy typically accumulates in higher elevations, and he had already searched the surrounding area and found similar terrain.

Then, staying in the swamp yielded little benefit.

Why not try your luck in the forests of Kross?

In the game, Kross Crystals only exist on the planet Kross. However, last time, Jiang Shi found the crystals at the border between the swamp and the forest.

Clearly, there might also be some of these treasures, formed by absorbing the essence of plants, in the Cross Forest...

So, Jiang Gu decided to go and see if he could find a few more crystals, and also try to catch Yi Yi, who has high aptitude.

Meanwhile, several days have passed since he arrived in the Seer universe. Judging by the time, Little Blue should be returning to base in the Pokémon world soon...

Therefore, this exploration should come to an end.

Jiang Gu set a small goal for himself.

"If you find a crystal or catch a Yiyi, then go back!"

……

So Jiang Gu stayed on Kross for two more days...

At this moment, near the rocky cliffs in the lush forest of Kross.

"This is outrageous!"

Jiang Gu casually sprayed the last of his healing spray onto a small, dark green bean-like creature with two buds growing from its head. The creature, after its injuries had slightly healed, immediately fled without looking back.

This is a 4V individual Yiyi, but it has not reached the Heavenly King level, so Jiang Gu does not intend to subdue it.

"Dal, Sadero, continue."

Jiang Gu then issued the order.

He was currently near a huge cave that bore a slight resemblance to one in the game.

The cave is the habitat of the Yi Yi tribe.

Unlike in the game, you have to wait for these little sprites to show themselves before using a flamethrower to force them into battle.

In reality, catching such rare Pokémon is much easier for Jiang Gu!

Let Dahl and Sadero, those two little mantises, just burrow into those caves and drag out the unlucky Yiyi who was originally living inside!

But it's this simple difficulty in capturing it.

Jiang Gu couldn't find a single Yi Yi that had reached the Heavenly King level!

In addition to the two busy little mantises.

Jiang Gu himself wandered around in the forests of Kross for quite a while.

However, he also found nothing of the Cross Star Crystal he was looking for!

Jiang Gu was originally scheduled to return to the Pokémon world yesterday, but the plan was thwarted.

He just got stubborn.

"I refuse to believe I can leave empty-handed!"

And so, the scene before us came to be.

After an extra day of work.

Jiang Gu's only gain was that he used up all the remaining healing spray he had...

But Kloss crystals...

No!

Yiyi, with high qualifications...

nor!

Just as Jiang Gu's expression turned displeased, his expression suddenly changed, and he stumbled...

ground……

A slight vibration?

"what's going on?"

Jiang Gu quickly looked around, then his pupils contracted slightly.

Chapter 18: The Mushroom Monster Makes its Appearance!

At this moment, a spirit that was clearly quite large appeared.

Its enormous weight alone caused the ground around it to tremble slightly as it walked!

Even Dar and Sadero, who were originally preparing to run into the cave to continue searching for the unlucky Yiyi, looked back with a somewhat solemn expression...

It was a strange, gigantic beast that resembled a giant mushroom!

The upper part of the body resembles a highly toxic red and white poisonous mushroom, while the lower part, which should be the root and stem of a mushroom, is extremely bloated, as if covered with countless tumors!

At the bottom of the behemoth are four enormous tentacles!

What then made Dahl and Sadero extremely nervous was—

The giant mushroom stared intently at Jiang Gu's location with its two hollow and ferocious eyes!

The moment this monster appeared, the atmosphere around it became tense and ominous.

Meanwhile, the two elves, Dahl and Sadero, surrounded Jiang Gu with great concern and looked very uneasy.

As light-dark mantises, their innate fighting spirit prevents Dahl and Sadero from showing any cowardice towards their enemies.

However, under such intense pressure, they were extremely worried about the safety of Jiang Gu, the trainer.
