Chapter 228 The Road to the Hidden Spring

rustle————

The drizzle slapped on the oil-paper umbrella and slid down the umbrella surface.

Holding the umbrella in one hand, Xu Qiansu took the hot steamed buns in the bag with the other, and took a bite.

He looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky, wondering if he should buy a carriage. With Cattleya around, he would not run even if there were no horses... But there are only flame horses in this world, and with the current relationship between humans and Pokémon Well, it is estimated that the horse-drawn carriage has not been invented yet... Besides, Cattleya's mental power should be saved as much as possible.

He shook his head slightly, swallowed the steamed buns in one gulp, and then walked home with a big bag of utensils.

But after a while, they came to the front of the house, opened the door and entered, and Liuwei and Fuji Snake were lying on the tatami in a daze in a daze. Seeing Xu Qiansu, they straightened up, walked to his feet and looked up at him.

Xu Qiansu sat down directly on the tatami, took out steamed buns from the bag and fed them to the Pokémon, and asked, "Miss Cattleya, are you ready? When the rain stops, we will go out of town... Watch the rain, Probably less than three hours."

"There is nothing to prepare..." Cattleya suddenly appeared behind Xu Qiansu like a ghost, stretched out her small hand, took a warm steamed bun from the bag, took two bites and stuffed it into Xu Qiansu's hand, " Not tasty~"

With Cattleya's family background, a simple food like steamed buns is naturally hard to catch, but with her current ghost state, it doesn't matter if she doesn't eat.

Xu Qiansu had long been used to Cattleya's own way of doing things. He stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth, chewed, then took his backpack and stuffed the supplies he bought into it.

He is carrying a space backpack, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about not being able to fit it.

Liuwei climbed up to his shoulders and did nothing, just squinted his eyes and stared at Xu Qiansu's movements.

The vine and vine snake let out a 'pooh', secretly saying that the fox is indeed a fox, no wonder Qi Lulian always fights with Six Tails.

After tidying things up, I carefully wiped the plaque engraved with 'Little Green Snake's Cooking Hut', placed it in the corner, and cleaned up the house, and the drizzle stopped.

It's not difficult to leave Qunqing Town. After all, it's not a place where freedom is particularly restricted. Xu Qiansu greeted Jing.

...

The weather in Windward Forest is fresh, there is no noise from the market, the blue sky is covered with white clouds, but it seems to be within reach, just walking in it, you can calm down.

Xu Qiansu held the map in his hand and walked slowly, but his attention was all on the map.

"Bocha~" The rattan snake coiled around Xu Qiansu's shoulder, squinting his eyes comfortably, and finally walked out of the town where the snake was suffocated, and finally he was able to show his face outside without any scruples.

Liuwei and Soroya walked quickly with their short legs, following Xu Qiansu's steps.

None of the three Pokémon are talkative, the rattan snake is cold, the six tails are seldom talkative, and Zoroya is shy and introverted, so there is no noise after walking for a while, only the slight crunch of fallen leaves when they step on the soil.

Cattleya floated beside Xu Qiansu, yawning constantly, looking extremely tired, she turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu, and asked softly, "Why don't you buy a carriage?"

"We don't have horses in this era... and we also need to reduce your mental energy consumption." Xu Qiansu replied without looking up at the map.

"Let's buy one~" Cattleya didn't care about these things, although she wasn't tired from floating, she hoped that she could hurry while sleeping.

"There may not be carriages in this era."

"Then carry me on your back, I need to meditate." As she spoke, Cattleya hooked her fingers, turned Xu Qiansu's backpack around, and then threw herself on Xu Qiansu's back, wrapping her hands around his neck.

But it's a pity that although Cattleya's figure is mature and charming, Xu Qiansu may not feel tenderness at all because of the use of superpowers... She is this kind of woman.

"Chirp?" Seeing Cattleya's arm pressing down on her, the vine rattled instantly, and then she remembered that she couldn't touch Cattleya at all.

The only person who can meet Cattleya is Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu sighed softly, rolled up the map, stuffed it into the backpack, then lifted Cattleya up with both hands, and said: "I have already collected the map in the south, but I haven't been to the hidden spring in the north... Let's go first Look there, if you can't find it, go west, leave the Ultramarine Coast, there is another town at the junction of the Ultramarine Coast and the Red Lotus Wetland that we can make up for..."

"Huh—" The sound of small, even breathing came from beside her ears... Cattleya fell asleep.

Xu Qiansu stopped talking, and he walked forward silently. The breeze was faint, and some of Cattleya's golden hair brushed Xu Qiansu's side face, bringing a little fragrance and itching.

Perhaps because of the ghost, Cattleya is not heavy, making Xu Qiansu always wonder if she eats too little.

Boots stepped on the fallen leaves in the forest, Xu Qiansu in white clothes walked slowly north with Cattleya on his back, the mottled shadows of the trees falling in the forest brushed past Xu Qiansu and Cattleya, the atmosphere was peaceful and natural, After coming to Xicui, Xu Qiansu, whose heart was always heavy, felt a little relieved for no reason...

He pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, thinking that although he often talked about traveling with Miss Mary, after more than two months, the two of them didn't seem to go to many places... Cuixue Town, Mugan Town, Suchuan Town, From Miare City in Carlos to Binhai City in the Sinnoh region...it seems that there are always things to deal with, and there are always things to be busy. There are not many moments of quiet strolling like this moment.

And isn't the requirement for the Pokémon too strict? Whenever there is free time, they are training...Xu Qiansu looked down at Liuwei.

Liuwei was following quickly, but when Xu Qiansu lowered her eyes to look at her, she raised her small face and looked at Xu Qiansu, then shook her fluffy and cute tail, and called out softly, "Woo~ "

Xu Qiansu couldn't help but smile, it's not wrong for him to be strict with himself, he hasn't forgotten about Hass Cobb, and he hasn't forgotten the disaster in the Galar area... But, he should do his best for his precious But the dreams think about it, their life can't just improve their strength, and then fight with whom...

Just like Zoroya, for some reason, it has been unable to master the transformation, and its strength is even pitifully low. It may not even be able to win against Xu Qiansu, but it is shy and timid. Compared with who it is fighting with, it prefers to be hugged and stroked by Xu Qiansu... Xu Qiansu will not force it to train and let it do things it doesn't like.

I was thrown into this era of hostility between humans and Pokémon, and was forced to separate from my Pokémon... Maybe it was to let him understand this.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiansu suddenly felt broad-minded, and couldn't help but want to share his insights with Miss Mary.

Then he was poked in the waist.

"Why does carrying my back remind you of Mary?" Cattleya, who was clearly sleeping, suddenly approached, and asked Rulan, breathing into Xu Qiansu's ear.

ah? Why can Cattleya read minds in her sleep?

...

It was sunset on the west mountain, and the pale golden sunset was slowly setting outside the horizon. Xu Qiansu walked out of the windward forest, climbed over a small hill, and stepped on a mountain path full of maple trees.

The Road to the Hidden Spring.

There is nothing particularly noteworthy about the Hidden Spring itself. It is just a spring surrounded by forests and hillsides. It is named Hidden Spring because of the complex terrain, difficult to find, and few people... Countless wild Pokémon live in Here, it is regarded as the 'Xanadu' of Pokémon.

However, Xu Qiansu has mastered the power of the waveguide, so it only took a little time to make a small circle around the outside, and found this clear and moving hidden spring directly.

It is said to be a spring, but it should be called a lake. Although the area of ​​the hidden spring is not large, it is not that small.

As night approached, the entire spring water reflected the brilliance of Akane. I have to say that the scenery is very beautiful, and it is a good place to live in seclusion.

But when Xu Qiansu came here, he didn't see any Pokémon...Of course, it's just invisible to the naked eye. They are all hiding in the dark, quietly observing Xu Qiansu, a human being, begging him to leave quickly... …There are not many groups of humans who are willing to accept Pokémon. Similarly, Pokémon also harbors far more hostility towards humans than modern Pokémon.

Therefore, there were a few fierce-tempered Pokémon who chose to take the initiative to expel Xu Qiansu.

puff!

An emperor Nabo jumped out of the hidden spring suddenly, and the air was a little colder with its bone-chilling hostility. Once it jumped out, the extremely fierce water cannon shot towards Xu Qiansu.

Puff puff puff!

The other four Bo princes jumped out together with the emperor Nabo, spitting out dense foam mixed with the water cannon, which increased the power of the water cannon a few more.

"Huh?" Soroya was startled, and quickly took a few steps back, almost crying in fright. With his pure mind, he never expected that someone would suddenly attack them, but after taking a few steps back, he remembered again. I am a Pokémon, stronger than humans, and I have to take on the responsibility of protecting Xu Qiansu, so I took a few steps forward with trembling little paws.

Xu Qiansu raised his eyebrows slightly. According to his understanding, every Bo prince thinks that he is the most extraordinary Bo prince. When he meets other Bo princes, he will always fight to the death and must compete with each other. Therefore, he dislikes it very much. In groups, they only live alone... Prince Bo in this hidden spring is willing to cooperate?

It is because of the leadership of the emperor Nabo, plus in order to protect his homeland...

The next moment, the extremely hot temperature came from beside him, Liuwei took a step forward, bowed his feet slightly to relieve the pressure, the hair all over his body fluttered with sparks, and immediately spit out a jet of flame almost comparable to a water cannon.

Cattleya, who was lying on Xu Qiansu's back, frowned slightly, opened her eyes, felt a little hot, and raised her hand gently, a barrier separated her from Xu Qiansu, avoiding the aftermath.

chi chi chi———

As soon as the flames collided with the water cannon, white mist suddenly rose up, so powerful that it almost surrounded most of the hidden spring.

But even if the sight is full of white mist, you can still see a smear of crimson that smashes the water cannon like a bamboo, and immediately shoots towards the emperor's direction unabated.

Although Liuwei once caused the power of the fireball slab in his body to go berserk because of the Galaxy team, it is undeniable that the fireball slate, as a treasure that can be related to Arceus, can not be underestimated in improving the power of fire attribute moves.

If you want to defeat Morubek head-on, the Pokémon like Pickpocket Cat who has been trained for several years more than Six-Tails may be a little bit reluctant, but it is still no problem to deal with a wild Emperor Nabo who has not been professionally trained.

What's more, since I haven't seen Xu Qiansu for a long time, coupled with the guilt in my heart, Liuwei has long wanted to show off in front of Xu Qiansu, not to make up for it, at least... to prove that he is much stronger than that Kirulian.

A strong wind blew up, and Xu Qiansu embraced Sorolla, who was baring his fangs, with a fierce breast... Sorolla was weak, so he had to pay more attention.

Puff puff----

The sound of more Pokémon rushing out of the water came from my ears. Obviously, the Pokémon that was hostile to Xu Qiansu and dared to make a move did not know the Emperor Nabo's family.

But the sight is already full of white mist, not to mention that you can't see your fingers, at least the visibility is within one meter.

wipe----

The sound of something piercing the air was subtle but sharp.

Xu Qiansu hugged Soroya in one hand and supported Cattleya in the other, stepped slightly, and took a few steps back. The next moment, a cold light flashed in front of Xu Qiansu, and immediately the white mist seemed to be pierced by a sharp knife, and suddenly Spreading away diagonally, it was a Gotha Duck that used random grabbing on him.

"It's so dangerous..." Xu Qiansu steadied his figure and couldn't help sighing softly. Surviving in the wild in the Xicui area was indeed not so easy, but his tone showed that he was not afraid at all... After all, he worked so hard with the Pokémon before. The exercise is not in vain.

A bit of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the Gotha Duck. Although it has not had much contact with humans, it also knows that with human physical fitness and reaction speed, it is not so easy to dodge its attack, and it is still a sneak attack...

But in the next moment, it turned ruthless, stepped on the ground with both feet, and rushed towards Xu Qiansu.

boom!

But in the blink of an eye, an energy ball exploded on its face. Caught off guard, the Gotha Duck didn't even perform any evasive movements, and was directly hit directly.

Immediately, a green light suddenly lit up on the heart. The petite body of the rattan snake may not be as long as the forearm of the Gotha Duck, but it turned around suddenly, and the leaf blade at the tail whirled, and hit it head-on again. .

boom!

The Gotha Duck bowed suddenly, before he could groan in pain, he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, piercing through the white mist, and hit three floats on the water before sinking into the hidden spring Inside.

The temper of Vine Vine Snake may not be as good as that of Kirulian, and anyone who hits will be beaten to death.

However, there are not only a few Pokémon that are coming.

But Cattleya was getting impatient, she was about to rest after a long journey all day, when so many Pokémon suddenly attacked her, she was very annoying.

She stretched out her little hand and waved lightly.

bang bang bang———

The muffled sound of heavy objects being smashed into the water surface could not be heard, and then Cattleya waved her hand casually, the breeze blew, the white mist dispersed, and the hidden spring returned to the appearance it had just arrived.

quiet, quiet.

A view of a paradise.

Cattleya withdrew her little hand, placed it on Xu Qiansu's shoulder, and lowered her little head, "Let's set up camp...I'm tired."

"Are you tired after being carried by me all day?" Xu Qiansu looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, then turned his head and smiled, but he was not afraid of her at all.

"Do you have an opinion?" Cattleya squinted at Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu shook her head helplessly, she still didn't understand how she could go her own way and be as arrogant as Cattleya, how could she come to Xicui to save him at such a big risk.

However, he did not directly set up a tent, but took out a few boxes of elf food from his backpack, opened them, and put them on the shore... It was an apology for disturbing the Pokémon.

Then he found a relatively open place and started to pitch the tent...
