Chapter 503 Proliferating Peat Blocks (5k)

April 10st morning.

The large number of fences that Luo Mu ordered were delivered to the farm one after another, and then the farm could be simply enclosed with fences.

These fences do not serve as a barrier. After all, if wild Pokémon want to break in, I am afraid that this wooden fence cannot stop most wild Pokémon. It just serves as a "psychological comfort" or another form of "enclosing territory."

The ones who are truly responsible for the security of the farm are the Steelix and Bluejays working in the sky, as well as the Roentgen cats, Windy Hounds, Trippin' Dogs and the newly joined Hounds that often patrol around the farm.

Shortly after the report was submitted, the Padya Alliance sent a commissioner to investigate the expanded farm. The other party did not just go through the motions because of Luo Mu's identity, but actually checked one by one, and only stamped the document after making sure that everything was properly arranged.

This also means that the large piece of land that includes the hill behind the farm and expands to the creek has been included in the scope of the farm and is free for Luo Mu to develop.

But before development, there are still many things to deal with.

Today the weather has rarely become brighter, the temperature has quietly risen, and the sun shines gently on our bodies, dispelling the chill brought by the cold wind.

Wearing a straw hat, Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat came to the farming area first, and their eyes fell on the trunks of three fruit trees that had grown quite taller, about two meters tall.

Two months have passed. Under the careful care of Hualiao Huanhuan and Bai Pengpeng, the three special fruit trees in the gold and silver series have thrived to this point.

According to the detailed planting manual provided by Quartz Plateau, it would take nearly a year to grow to this point, even with the intervention of Grass-attribute Pokémon.

Being able to shorten the time to two months only shows that the value of Professor Tapu Moo's "Farmland" and "Compound Grass Field" is still increasing.

Even without the original form of Tapu Moo or someone as powerful as Budcrest, it is possible to grow from a sapling into a towering tree and bear abundant fruits in just a few breaths.

This speed is enough.

What's more, this was accomplished by the Pokémon on the farm through their own hard work, so it has extraordinary significance.

Luo Mu gently stroked the slightly rough bark of the tree trunk with his fingertips, thinking that when the fruit is produced, not only the Roentgen cat, but everyone else should have a taste of it.

When the eyes of the Roentgen cat met, the man and the cat smiled at each other.

In this respect, their ideas are undoubtedly in sync.

Luo Mu had originally planned to go look for the moon bear with the Roentgen cat, but before they left the old orchard in the farming area, sudden movement inside caught their attention.

The Tropical Dragon, the Huhu siblings, and the Fengmi Dragon should all be in the new orchard. Now is the rest time for Hualiao Huanhuan and Bai Pengpeng. Zhihuixing just said that they must use sand to bathe the Chongni Horse and the three gophers today.

Who would be in the old orchard at this hour?
Wild Flying Pokémon?

The Steeljay or Bluejay who stole from his employer?
Neither seems likely.

Without further hesitation, Luo Mu simply chose to go over and find out what was going on.

The Roentgen cat also slowed down and followed directly.

Although it already knew who it was by the smell, it had no intention of alerting Luo Mu.

Walking behind a fruit tree that was big enough to block him, Luo Mu looked forward and was stunned.

The fruit trees in this area were the first batch of fruit trees planted when the farm was just starting out.

Among them, peach trees, which are of good quality and low price, account for the majority.

And among the peach trees, Erguiyan was looking up blankly at the peach fruits produced by the peach trees that were "unattainable" to it, as if thinking about something.

However, Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat were behind it and couldn’t see the expression of Erguilang clearly.

A question also emerged in Luo Mu's mind after he saw Erguilang.

What is Erguilang staring at the peach fruit tree?
Are you greedy?

It wasn't hungry. Even Frosty the Frost had made fruit desserts several times. It was unlikely that Eruption would sneak into the old orchard to eat the peaches on the trees.

Perhaps out of curiosity, Luo Mu subconsciously slowed down his breathing, waiting for Ergui's next move.

The Roentgen cat stared at the peach fruit thoughtfully, also without saying a word.

Soon.

The evil spirit began to move.

Even though it is short in stature, it is very agile.

After stepping on the tree trunk several times in his wooden clogs, Erguiyan swiftly came to a branch of the peach tree and picked a peach fruit.

This operation actually makes up for the inherent deficiencies.

After picking the peach fruit, Erguiyan stared at the peach fruit in silence for a while, then exerted force with its little hand, and the characteristics of its powerful physical attack with a racial value of 120 were clearly revealed, and the peach fruit was broken into two halves with its bare hands.

Staring at the peach fruit that was broken into two halves, Ergui's expression suddenly changed as if he had thought of something.

Because this time it was facing Luo Mu, Luo Mu could see the changes in Ergui's expression clearly.

The disgust that was expressed on his face, no, from the bottom of his heart, could not be faked.

Erguiyan stared at the peach fruit that was broken into two halves with disdain for a long time. He wanted to throw it on the ground and crush it with his foot.

But it thought of Luo Mu's advice "Don't waste food", and recalled that these peach fruits were taken care of by Hualiao Huanhuan, Bai Pengpeng, Chongni Wanma, Haklong, and Mosquito Repellent Frog King with great effort.

Erguiyan hesitated for a while, and hesitated for a long time about whether to throw or not, and finally slowly withdrew his hand.

"Bonnie!"

He stared at the peach fruit that was split into two halves with a pursed mouth, swallowed the peach fruit in a few bites with disgust, and left the old orchard angrily.

Luo Mu & Roentgen Cat: "."

The man and the cat looked at each other, and they were still in sync with each other.

They probably knew why Eruption behaved so strangely.

The peach fruit that is split into two halves is very similar in shape to the peach-shaped shell of Tao Dailang!
Erguiyan's expression always gives people the feeling that in order to prevent Taodailang from resurrecting, he might as well destroy all the peach fruits.

It seems that I can't let Erguiyan see any complete peach fruit in the future.
This matter needs to be informed to Zhi Huixing and Shuang Naixian to avoid any unforeseen consequences.

As for whether or not to tell the Blue Flame Blade Ghost—

Luo Mu's intuition told him that Blade of the Azure should be a Pokémon that would do something like barbecued Peach Fruit, so he might as well tell him.

When Luo Mu found the Heyue Bear, this guy was not lying in his burrow and taking a nap, but was engaging in a fierce wrestling match with the Menglei Drum.

Luo Mu also felt like he had encountered a ghost.

These two guys are almost the same, one has a physical attack race stat of 70, and the other has a physical attack race stat of 73. Both Pokémon are good at energy attacks, but they prefer to use their huge size for close combat.

It's quite abstract.

However, the Roentgen Cats are forced to use dual swords because of their electric skill pool. As a trainer who trained the Roentgen Cats, Luo Mu has no right to stop them and can only let them serve as turrets.

The two Pokémon were fighting fiercely. Ursa Major attacked left and right, trying to grab the long neck of Flintstone that was swinging around like a whip.

The sound of flesh colliding was so loud that the ground near the hillside shook slightly.

After a long collision, the fierce thunder drum finally won and overwhelmed the Heyue bear.

Compared to the Heyue Bear, who settled down in the permanent forest of Beishang Township and entered a state of eating and sleeping, Menglei Drum was still in the cruel world of fighting in the "ancient times" not long ago.

When the strength was similar and there was no use of attacking moves, it was purely a contest of strength, so naturally the Thunder Drum in excellent condition won.

"Hoo-"

The black moon bear sat down on a rock and let out a cry as if complaining.

It was just careless and sprained its old waist which had not been exercised for a long time. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would win or lose!
The panting Meng Lei Gu was very happy because of his victory. He didn't care about the moon bear's comeback. He came to the fixed place that had been bald due to his usual sunbathing and lay down directly.

Under the warm sun, it just felt that it was in a very good condition.

I think it's called "characteristics"?
Luo Mu mentioned his characteristic "Ancient Activity", which seems to be that he will get a bonus in the sun, or on a "sunny day".

No wonder every time Meng Lei Gu basks in the sun, he always feels that the blood in his body is boiling slightly and his mood is extremely excited.

Writing "Miao Miao Diary" has become much easier now.

He Yuexiong and Meng Lei Gu started chatting with each other, asking each other about their past experiences.

In a sense, they are all Pokémon from the past, so they are naturally curious about each other's experiences.

When He Yue Xiong and Meng Lei Gu first learned of each other's existence, similar questions would arise in their minds.

What was the other party's ancient times like? Obviously, there is no need to compare the hundred years of the He Yue Xiong with the suspected "super ancient times" and "Jurassic" of the Meng Lei Gu.

As Luo Mu approached from a distance, the two Pokémon, who had sharp senses and wild instincts similar to Xiaozhi, raised their heads at the same time and looked at him together.

Thinking that if someone who didn't know them were suddenly stared at by two pairs of eyes in the wild, Luo Mu kept his expression unchanged and waved his hand, saying, "He Yuexiong, Meng Leigu, hello."

"Meow~"

The Roentgen cat behind him also called out lazily, just as a greeting.

The reason why Luo Mu was looking for He Yuexiong was not complicated.

He would go back to the Grape Academy later to meet Nemo and the other two who had returned safely to the academy, and bring them the three peat blocks that he had promised to give them.

Luo Mu checked and found out that there is a full moon tonight.

As long as they use peat blocks, the three of them can evolve their Circle Bears into Moon Bears with "beautiful strength".

As for the peat block, after taming the Heyue Bear and bringing it back to the farm, the system acted as a riddler for some reason. Luo Mu, following its advice, simply handed it over to the Heyue Bear for safekeeping.

When he first saw the props from his hometown, He Yuexiong felt a little sad. The big guy who looked both ferocious and honest was sad and EMO for a few nights before he recovered.

Now those peat blocks are carefully stored in the cave. Although Luo Mu can take them directly, in order to consider the feelings of the He Yue Bear, he still lets it take them.

When He Yue Xiong heard Luo Mu say that he wanted to take away three pieces of peat, he was a little reluctant but did not do anything extreme.

After all, the book belonged to Luo Mu and was given to him for safekeeping, not as a gift.

Just because there are three less pieces of peat, I'm afraid the taste of my hometown will be much weaker when I sleep in the future.

He Yuexiong was a little melancholy.

Watching the figures of Luo Mu, the Roentgen cat and the He Yue Bear going away, Meng Lei Gu, who had been feeling uneasy, breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, the He Yue Bear suddenly came to his door and wanted to fight. Thinking that this big fool couldn't read and was still writing "Meow Meow Diary", Meng Lei Gu simply fought with it.

Who knew that Luo Mu chose to come at this time? Fortunately, the other party did not go to the hillside to take a look, otherwise it would be terrible.

Now let’s quickly destroy all traces.

The "survivor" Meng Lei Gu ran up the hillside with a clatter, and skillfully released lightning to burn the ground.

After a while.

Looking at the ground that had become bare again, Meng Lei Gu nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of me!
Outside the moon bear's burrow.

Luo Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, staring with a distressed expression at the peat blocks that were moved out one after another by the black moon bear. Suspecting that he had counted wrong, he counted again.

"One, two, three, six, ten, eleven, twelve—"

"twelve?"

There was obvious confusion in Luo Mu's voice. He stared at the peat blocks placed in front of him in confusion, his brain storming never stopped.

He thought he had remembered it wrong, so he made a special phone call to ask Zhi Huixing.

As a result, Zhi Huixing also said with certainty that when Luo Mu brought back the peat blocks, there were eleven pieces when he registered them into the warehouse.

That.

Where did this extra piece come from?

The private money that He Yuexiong hid?
Luo Mu glanced at the He Yue Bear, seeing it sitting stiffly on a rock that was not even as big as its butt, with a confused and aggrieved look on its face. He thought it was very silly at this moment.

Not like that kind of bear.

Or, the rumors are true.

Plant peat blocks in the soil and harvest a bunch of peat blocks next year?
But it’s still early next year, and the moon bears have only been at the farm for a short time.

Luo Mu couldn't figure it out, so he just asked the system.

After a moment, he was stunned when he got the answer.

So if you plant peat blocks, you will harvest a bunch of peat blocks next year?
Why there is an extra piece of peat in the cave of the moon bear is very unscientific and very interesting.

This guy, He Yuexiong, chose his own cave, and specifically chose one near Thunder Lake.

The land near Leiming Lake has more or less some "moist" and "wetland" characteristics because of Leiming Lake, which is very similar to the past habitat of the He Yue Bear and its clan.

The peat blocks are props that are gradually formed when the herbivorous moon bears live in this environment.

Because the peat block itself is also subtly changing the composition of the surrounding soil, and finally because of the unconscious influence of the moon bear's own ability to use peat freely, a new peat block will eventually appear as if seeing a ghost.

As for the depths of the scorching desert, how could there be peat blocks in such a dry place with little water?

Regarding this question, Luo Mu felt that the peat blocks probably had nothing to do with the Honghong Desert, but were brought into the Honghong Desert by some "treasure hunters" in the past and lost for unknown reasons.

With this explanation, everything becomes clear.

Luo Mu successfully achieved logical consistency. He took three peat blocks and returned the rest to the confused He Yue Xiong. He said, "Keep burying these nine blocks in the original place. Come out with me later."

He Yue Xiong nodded blankly, while Luo Mu put the heavy peat block into the bag hanging on the back of the Roentgen cat, preparing to take it back home and put it into the space backpack.

Time passed quickly and it was seven o'clock in the evening.

As winter approaches, night falls much earlier than usual.

The temperature was quite warm during the day, but at night, it dropped a lot because there was no sunlight.

Before going out, Luo Mu silently put on a baseball uniform that was not for playing baseball, then he exhaled white mist and called Moltres to go out.

The reason for not waking up Dragonite is that it has already fallen asleep in its warm nest with its mother Dragonite and three Dragonite godmothers. Why wake it up in such a cold weather?

Second, Moltres needs some exercise, and sitting on it will keep you warmer.

No matter what, Moltres' maximum flying speed is much slower than Dragonite's.

It was around eight o'clock when Luo Mu saw the outline of Zhuotai City, which was relatively close to Pingdie Town.

Compared with the colorful and neon-lit Nissin City, the table market at night is less advanced and fashionable, but more warm.

The warm yellow light shines through the windows of every household, full of the warmth of life.

The Moltres was flying at a very high altitude, and even at night, its extremely conspicuous flames that could not be extinguished were obscured by the thick clouds and did not cause any unexpected commotion.

Luo Mu informed Principal Clavel in advance and landed directly on the playground of Grape Academy.

Nemo and the others, wrapped warmly, were already waiting on the playground.

Seeing Luo Mu and Moltres, Neemo's eyes lit up, and she ran towards them, seeming to have changed a lot in temperament.

Papa and Pipa were also unrestrained and trotted over Nemo who was running at full speed and rushed over.

I just don't know why Mudan and Shizuka also started running, even though they just met a few days ago.

Seeing the students so excited, Luo Mu was a little troubled for a moment.

There are five people, and he can’t hold them all with his two hands.

But facts proved that he thought too much.

Pipa rushed over first, without even glancing at Luo Mu's reserved open arms, and threw herself directly at the Moltres.

Papper, Nemo, Peony and Shizuka also surrounded Moltres in this way.

Peony looked very happy, as if she had come back to life, and sighed, "It's so warm, it's worthy of being the legendary Pokémon Moltres!"

Nemo and Piper even buried their faces in the Flame Bird's feathers, mumbling a few indistinct murmurs.

Luo Mu was left with his arms outstretched, and his eyes met with Shinsi, who was trembling slightly from the cold but still standing there trying to be cool.

Luo Mu: “.”

Shinji: ".A-choo!"
