This elf world is a bit strange

"Weiss...Weiss?"

The queen bee, who was a little hungry because she had set out early, wanted to remain reserved, but the "children" in the hive beneath her couldn't help it and came out one after another, each picking up a small piece of elf food and devouring it.

"You're welcome, let's eat together. If a fight really breaks out later, can you lend a hand when I can't defeat you?"

Just when it was feeling a little embarrassed, Firio's gentle words gave it a way out.

"V...Vis!"

With her chin raised slightly with pride, the queen bee slid down the slope, quickly landed on an empty seat, picked up a handful of elf food, and ate it.

Last night, it and its tribesmen had already enjoyed the energy cubes and elf food made by Firion.

In terms of effects alone, these things are definitely not as good as high-quality honey, but for Pokémon that feed on honey every day, the effects have long been reduced to 90%.

Taste, energy accumulation, body nourishment, the food and advanced general-purpose energy cubes carefully prepared by Firio are far beyond the goods traded with them on a daily basis in the reserve, making it unforgettable after eating them.

He rushed over early in the morning, intending to see if the other party had escaped, and also to have a free meal.

Because of this, the dozen or so three-bee guards that had always been following it were also left at home to avoid being seen by the possible embarrassing scene.

While eating, Firio occasionally tried to probe the queen bee, whose attention was mostly attracted by the food.

The vast majority of Pokémon are innocent by nature, but the occasional ones that are shrewd and calculating find it difficult to hide their true nature.

In just a few words, Firion had learned most of the news about not only the Circle Bear, but also the large forest in front of him.

As the local queen bee, she naturally knows more detailed information than those in the protected area who can only take a quick look and make regular inspections.

This forest and several adjacent woodland areas are home to nearly a hundred species of wild Pokémon, making it an encyclopedia of woodland ecology.

Just within the area of ​​nearly 100 kilometers nearby, there are six dragons whose strength is similar to or better than that of the queen bee, and there is also a king-level double-axe war dragon that occupies a large area alone.

Not to mention the ordinary Pokémon that serve as the backbone, the density of powerful wild Pokémon alone is much stronger than that of ordinary areas or even protected areas.

Different from the eager little guys led by the little dream demon, Firio himself became a little solemn.

The reason is simple. Among the powerful Pokémon around here, there are groups of Shoveltorn and Kairos. There are two major populations competing for survival. It is impossible for them to coexist peacefully. Disputes may break out at any time and anywhere.

Even the powerful queen bee and her tribe must retreat for safety once they encounter a dispute between these two races.

Fortunately, this place is the northern end of the forest, and the two major populations usually move around in the southern end where the woods and grass are more lush, so it is not very dangerous in the short term.

There are only three quasi-king Pokémon living in this area. One is the Queen Bee in front of you, and the other two are its nemesis, the powerful Kumaon couple.

With the strength of the Queen Bee, she can barely fight against the weaker husband among the two Circle Bears. If both Circle Bears come together, the entire tribe will need to be mobilized, and the outcome is unpredictable.

In the battle yesterday afternoon, Circle Bear Husband came alone, but was discovered while lurking. He had just knocked down a few patrolling Three Bees, and when he saw the large force coming, he had to retreat.

Such fights were relatively restrained in the past, but have increased significantly in recent months, causing the bee colonies to often lose large amounts of precious honey and injuring a large number of members, seriously affecting the life and reproduction of the colony.

This is also the core reason why Queen Bee is truly willing to put aside her anger and cooperate with Firion.

It is already quite old among the quasi-king Pokémon, and its peak period may be over at any time. If it cannot defeat these two Ursa Minor that are in their prime and are becoming increasingly powerful, the future of the tribe will be in great danger.

While eating elf food and energy cubes in big mouthfuls, the Queen Bee glanced at Firion and the little dream demon who was also eating and drinking.

Firion was testing it, and it was testing Firion.

After observing closely, the experienced Queen Bee determined that all the Pokémon in front of her were still very young, had unlimited futures, and were much stronger than the few humans who often came here.

"Wes!"

After thinking for a moment, it made up its mind and dived into the woods. Soon, it flew back with several empty energy cube boxes filled with honey.

"Huh? This is..."

Firion took the box doubtfully, and it felt heavy in his hand. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of honey. The quality was as good as the top-grade honey he got in Haruka City, and the quantity was much more.

"Do you trust me so much?"

Firio raised his eyebrows and smiled, making his handsome face look even more sunny and handsome.

"Wes!"

The queen bee nodded solemnly, knocked on the lid of the box, and pointed into the distance.

"Elu~!"

"Madge!"

"Jera~"

"Qi-Duo-"

The four hungry little ones had sparkling eyes and were almost knocking on their food bowls to ask for honey.

"Don't worry, everyone has a share. Eat a little in the morning, and then after we help the queen bee solve the problem, we'll have a big meal to celebrate. How about that? This needs to be diluted with a little water, otherwise it's too sweet."

He picked up a small spoon and scooped out a little bit, then fed it to his expectant friends one by one. Amid their happy and eager gazes, Firion put away the box and got serious.

"Madge!"

The little dream demon's eyes gradually became sharper.

A shadow passed by Firio's eyes and instantly appeared next to the Queen Bee.

Master Little Dream Demon is ready.

"Wes!"

The Queen Bee showed a look of joy and bowed again, looking at Firion who was still cleaning up the mess.

It saw an opportunity to solve the problem once and for all.

-----------------

In the forest in the early morning, dew condenses on the grass leaves. The summer heat has not yet arrived and there is still a slight coolness.

Firio and his party, who were ready, stepped in under the leadership of the Queen Bee and headed towards the territory of the Circle Bear couple.

Chapter 144 Honey Fight (5600)

The bees walked in small lines, not afraid of the powerful queen bee, and stalked through the forest unsteadily and swaggeringly, preparing to go to the river to drink water.

Two naughty-looking magic mushrooms popped their heads out from the humus-covered leaf soil. It was obvious that they had eaten a lot yesterday and then went to sleep on the spot. Their little eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what they were up to.

The huge Arbok thought he was approaching stealthily, and aimed at the Wind Fairy who was looking around and leaving the team. In a playful mood, he was about to jump up to scare it, but he was blown away by an energy ball. He didn't know where he landed, but he would probably lie down for a while in a daze before he could recover.

The always happy Lotte Kappa led a row of little followers behind him, humming some cheerful tune as they crossed the forest path. No one knew what they were going to do.

Judging from the tune, it seems a bit similar to the song that has been popular in Miare recently. Maybe the ranger taught it to him.

The sturdy flying mantises are doing morning exercises, dancing with their sharp sickles and shedding the sweat of youth.

Faintly, there seemed to be a little fox flash by, perhaps it was Zoroark who came out to practice illusion.

......

......

The forest in the early morning is peaceful.

As Firion and Queen Bee were traveling together, in a short period of time, twenty or thirty common or rare Pokémon appeared.

They are not afraid of the regional overlord queen bee, and they get along well with the three bees that went out early to collect honey. They each do their own thing and do not affect each other.

"Wes!"

When encountering powerful Pokémon she met along the way, Queen Bee remained calm, accepting their greetings and nodding in response.

In the huge forest, everything seemed to be in order, and there was no "cruel competition in the wild", which made Philio more or less confused.

This is not very similar to the situation in the Sala-Biyi Nature Reserve.

It's not like a primitive forest, but more like a forest kingdom with strict rules.

"Weiss? Wes!"

The Queen Bee, who had been observing carefully in secret, saw the confusion written on Firion's face, shook her head, and cleared up his confusion.

"Are you the only one like this? That's your credit."

After a moment's thought, Firio figured out the whole thing and answered with a smile.

The Queen Bee and the Three Bees are not very powerful Pokémon species themselves, and they do not make much use of natural resources in the wild. They just collect nectar, and there is no direct survival conflict between them and the vast majority of Pokémon.

At the same time, they rely on weaker tribesmen to collect honey, and they also hope that their living environment will be relatively peaceful, and they have sufficient motivation to maintain order.

As the strongest force in a region, such an ethnic group can indeed easily reconcile relationships and create a "pure land" in the wild.

"Wes!"

The queen bee nodded slightly with dignity, and there was an undisguised slight complacency in her eyes.

Creating such a peaceful forest for the tribe and the surrounding Pokémon is one of the proudest things in its life.

In the early years, the situation was very different. Although it was not in chaos, the relationship between Pokémon was not very friendly, and small-scale fights broke out frequently.

"Boga!"

Pogaman, who was following slowly at the side, also supported Firion at the right time.

Everything around it makes it feel comfortable and at ease.

However, its leeway did not last long. After being well behaved for a short while, Heart Scale Treasure ran away again in the blink of an eye.

This time, it was extremely curious and kept staring at a somewhat shy grass-knotted noblewoman, making the other party feel uncomfortable all over and its grass and wood straw coat exploded. It was obvious that it had the idea of ​​attacking and then running away.

Seeing that the little dinosaur was about to be beaten, Pogaman chased after it as fast as he could and started explaining a lot, "boga boga", before the matter was resolved.

Watching the noble lady Jiekusa go away, Pogaman breathed a sigh of relief and leaped high into the air, with white light flashing on his little wings.

"Boom"

"Jera..."

Leading the Heartscale with a small bump on its head back to the team, Pogaman acted like an older brother, giving the aggrieved little creature some advice and making it behave a little more obedient.

In this way, we walked slowly for about an hour, until the sun slowly rose and the temperature gradually increased, making people feel a little hot.

"Wes!"

The Queen Bee stopped in front of a narrow stream, and with a hint of seriousness and warning in her voice, she looked at Firion steadily.

Not far away, a dozen or so bees with considerable strength and accumulated energy of at least level 40 gathered together to guard the queen bee.

The creek is the boundary. Beyond this place is the territory of the Circle Bear couple.

A faint murderous atmosphere permeated the air, and the solemnity of the impending battle rose from the heart of the Queen Bee.

"Well, leave it to us. Everyone come back first, and the little dream demon should restrain his breath."

Firion nodded, took out his Poké Ball, collected his companions one by one, and placed them on his waist.

He was traveling light, and had put on the simple pair of solid-color gloves again.

"lets go."

After looking at the queen bee gently, Firio took the lead, stepped over the stones in the stream, reached the other side, and walked deep into the woods.

After a rustling sound, the forest returned to silence.

-----------------

"Link!"

On a small hill in the forest, two strong Grunts gathered at the door with several strong wild Pokémon and took the initiative to greet Queen Bee and Firion.

They were quite intelligent and saw at a glance that Firio and the nightmare demon above his head were "foreign aid" invited by the Queen Bee to deal with her. They also immediately understood why they, who had been on the defensive, dared to actively invade their territory.

Unfortunately, their nest is not too far from the border of the territory, and by the time the tip-off Pokémon arrives with the news, it is too late to make too many preparations, and they can only call on a few powerful Pokémon nearby that are close to them to come to their aid.

The two Pokémon prepared themselves as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they protected the cave behind them tightly.

The dark and deep cave seemed to have no end and led directly to the ground. Even with Firion's superpowers, he was unable to detect the deepest part of the cave from a long distance away.

"Wes!"

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. There is nothing to say to these two old rivals whose conflicts have become increasingly fierce in recent months. The queen bee roared, rushed forward first, and fought fiercely with the male circle bear.

The leader led the way, and the dozen or so bees behind him naturally did not want to be outdone, and they took the initiative to step forward and join the siege.

"Link!"

Waving her hand to stop other Pokémon that wanted to come forward to support, the strongest female Ursa Major looked at Firion warily. Her intuition told her that the human in front of her looked harmless, but was actually the most dangerous one.
