Chapter 573 Tapu Bear Attack
Spicy balls!

Until he realized what he had done, these two words kept echoing in Luo Mu's mind.

Especially that gaze that was like a thorn in the back, which was still firmly fixed on him.

Luo Mu was so frightened that he almost got goosebumps.

There is no need to guess, to know that the owner of this sight must be Zhi Huixing.

In fact it is.

Zhi Huixing withdrew his gaze from Luo Mu and met the forest sage's slightly complacent eyes with an expressionless face.

The forest sage raised an eyebrow at Zhi Huixing.

Even your employer has been captured by my juices.

Admit it, my foolish fellow, I am now the more skilled one.

Without the Forest Sage saying anything, Zhihuixing could roughly guess what it was thinking.

It wasn't very angry. After all, if it had this advantage, it would probably do the same thing as the other party.

Whether it is the Forest Sage or the Wise Ape, they would never be so emotional under normal circumstances, but it is a different story when they meet their own kind.

At this time, Tapu Kokoro and Gladion also drank up the juice in one breath. Tapu Kokoro, who was a frequent guest, was fine, but Gladion couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, "It's delicious!"

Although it might be a bit impolite to say this, in Gladion's impression, if the juice that still had a lingering taste in his mouth were to be compared with the juice distributed by Zhihuixing last night.

He would probably choose the juice he just tasted.

But Gladion wasn't stupid, and the thought was just passing through his mind.

To truly reach the final conclusion, we have to wait until we have tasted Zhihuixing’s drinks.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished tasting, Zhi Huixing pushed the crystal clear glass in front of the three people.

As the bottom of the glass moved across the wooden table, the sound of ice cubes colliding could be clearly heard.

Looking at the juice with a layer of water vapor condensed on the outer layer and a faint cool feeling, Luo Mu swallowed his saliva.

His intuition told him that this glass of juice, which had been adjusted based on last night's, might bring him a different surprise.

Compared to the Forest Sage's simple and rustic style, the juice prepared by Zhihuixing looks quite good.

Under the illumination of Tapu Chime's lightning.

The liquid, flavored with phoenix fruit, three-bee honey, and several types of berries different from the works of the forest sage, is like flowing gold, shining brightly under the illumination of lightning.

The crystal clear ice cubes float and sink leisurely in such liquid, releasing the low temperature while decomposing themselves into the drink.

In the hot weather of Alola, where it is almost midsummer all year round, I believe no one can refuse this drink.

Add lemon slices stuck on the glass and some small props as decoration.

The appearance is very high! It is so beautiful that people can't help but take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.

In terms of appearance, Zhihuixing is definitely the overwhelming winner, but the competition is ultimately about taste.

Luo Mu held the cold glass and brought it closer to himself.

Just like the raw materials used by the Forest Sage are mostly grown by itself, the fruits used by Zhihuixing to make pear juice are all from the farm, and the Three Bees Honey is carefully brewed by the Queen Bee herself.

When it comes to materials, as the person who developed the farm, Luo Mu naturally has enough confidence.

But one problem that cannot be ignored always has a strong presence.

The ingredients used by Forest Sage are fresh, freshly picked and juicy.

The ingredients of Zhihuixing inevitably stayed in the refrigerator for a few days, so the taste was more or less affected.

Perhaps it was because of this problem that Zhi Huixing chose the iced drink, and used his own method to make the taste harmonious.

Luo Mu kept thinking, holding the straw and taking a sip.

In an instant.

The sour taste of phoenix fruit and the sweet taste of honey burst in your mouth, along with a refreshing coolness that dispels the summer heat.

There is no doubt that the first bite is quite amazing.

And when he savored the next few mouthfuls, Luo Mu vaguely tasted the "astringency" in it.

Generally speaking, the presence of astringency in food and drink can be considered a disaster.

But this time it was different, because the ingredients were always kept refrigerated, the flavor was lost. If left unattended, the layered texture of the Forest Sage's works would not be achieved.

However, Zhihuixing boldly uses the "astringency" to give the taste a certain sense of layering, and at the same time uses ice cubes to reduce the proportion of astringency. Not only does it not overshadow the main taste, but it also makes the taste more layered.

In this state between deliciousness and novelty, Luo Mu, Gladion and Tapu Mingming drank up their drinks without realizing it.

The cool feeling from the inside out made them sigh.

“It feels so good—”

Who understands the power of iced drinks in summer?
She has such charm that even if it causes diarrhea, there are countless people willing to follow her!

This time it was the Forest Sage who remained silent, and Zhihuixing slightly raised his eyebrows at him.

See, I can do this even if the ingredients aren’t freshly picked.

Admit it, my foolish fellow who only sees the world from a narrow perspective, I am better in both skills and wisdom.

"Yeah, Jutta."

The forest sage glared back. The result would depend on their evaluation.

The pressure immediately shifted to Luo Mu and the others, who still looked relaxed.

Faced with two pairs of oppressive gazes, they had no choice but to start voting.

The first voter was led by Tapu Kokoro.

This guy didn't have the dignity of a guardian of the island at all. When he felt that both drinks were to his taste and he couldn't tell which was better, he simply chose to cheat.

"Tapu!"

I abstain!
Forest Sage & Wise Monkey: "."

No waiver allowed!

Under the threat of "rejecting guests" from the Forest Sage, seeing that he could not escape, Tapu Chirp could only make a choice reluctantly.

It placed the claws of the shell in the direction of the glass.

Humans are indeed wonderful creatures, and the wise apes that live with humans actually have so many wonderful ideas.

As the island guardian who loves to receive new things, it really likes the thing called ice, which makes its eyes light up.

On the contrary, the taste of the Forest Sage's drinks remains as stable as ever, but precisely because of its stability, it prefers the novel taste after tasting it many times.

One point was given to Zhi Huixing first.

The unwilling gaze of the Forest Sage and the complacent gaze of the Wise Ape turned to Gladion again.

Being stared at by them, Gladion felt like he was sweating profusely.

The coolness from the iced juice just now disappeared completely, and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. After hesitating for a long time, Gladion chose the coconut shell container, which was the side of the forest sage.

After all, it was a personal subjective judgment. Gladion, who often enjoyed iced drinks in the human world, felt that the forest sage's original flavor and the feeling of stimulating the taste of the drinks to the greatest extent amazed him even more.

The score is tied at one to one.

The final match point came to Luo Mu.

Frankly speaking, Luo Mu felt under a lot of pressure right now. He moved his fingers back and forth between the two containers and finally made up his mind.

“I choose.”

Just as Luo Mu was about to give the answer, a breath of air quickly approached the tree house.

Tapu Kokoro, who noticed it first, seemed to realize something. He chirped as a warning and stood directly in front of Luo Mu and Gladion.

next moment.

"grumble!!!"

Accompanied by a sharp explosion of extremely high decibels, a black shadow fell from the sky like a meteorite hitting the earth, and directly pierced through the roof with the weight of its body.

"Cough cough cough-"

In the smoke and dust, Gladion kept coughing and felt like he was about to cough out his lungs.

He was the only one who was not prepared. On the contrary, Luo Mu reacted after Tapu Kokoro. Considering that someone was protecting him, he simply made sure that nothing would happen to him first, and naturally he did not inhale the smoke.

A bright purple light lit up in the collapsed tree house. Under the protection of the two telekinesis, Luo Mu and Gladion were both unharmed.

At the same time, because the roof was broken, the sunlight poured down, and Luo Mu and Gladion could clearly see the scene in front of them.

Tapu Kokoro is in a stalemate with a huge Pokémon that looks like a plush teddy bear and has distinct pink and black hair.

No, it’s not so much a stalemate as it is that Tapu Kokoro can no longer withstand the power of that Pokémon.

Its shell was already trembling noticeably, but the Pokémon was still increasing its strength.

"Is this, dressed as a bear?"

Gladion, who finally recovered, rubbed his tearful eyes and said in disbelief.

What he found unbelievable was not the Pokémon Ursula. After all, Ursula could be found in many undeveloped wild areas in the Alola region. It was a dangerous wild Pokémon and not rare.

What really surprised Gladion was the enormous strength of the bear that even Tapu Kokoro couldn't withstand!

The last Pokémon that surpassed Tapu Kokoro in terms of power, Gladion only remembered that it was Romu's Swampert.

At this moment, the Bear in Black seemed to be in a state of excitement or anger. He completely ignored Tapu Kokoro's warning and insisted on breaking through its defense.

"Yeah, Jutta?"

Zhihuixing frowned and looked at the Forest Sage, asking him about his origins.

You didn't even give face to the island's guardian god. Is it because you are too arrogant that you attracted enemies?

"Yoyo Yota."

The forest sage shook his head. He had no idea what was going on.

Half an hour ago, it had exchanged tree fruits for a can of fresh three-bee honey. The other party suddenly had this reaction, so it could only be that something had happened.

As a very smart "Hidden Military Advisor", the Forest Sage narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth at the backs of Luo Mu and Gladion.

It speculates that the changes in the bear may be related to the two strange humans who visited for the first time.

After all, he, Tapu Kokoro and Kumaboko are old acquaintances. Kumaboko would not do such a thing unless it was under normal circumstances.

The forest sage, who was carefully searching his mind for the question "why", suddenly recalled the anxious look of the bear who came to him for help one night.

It remembers, because
A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and the Forest Sage immediately locked onto the answer, shouting at Zhi Huixing twice.

"Utta Utta."

Hey, boy, can you translate what I said to your employer and his brother?

Although he was very unhappy that the Forest Sage called him "kid", Zhihuixing, knowing what the other party was thinking, once again acted as a messenger.

A stream of information, guided by mental power, broke into the minds of Luo Mu and Gladion.

"This stuffed bear has detected the scent of its child. Have any of you ever come into contact with a stuffed bear?"

Gladion, who had been a stay-at-home for several days, waved his hands in confusion. He had never been out of the villa before, so how could he have seen a teddy bear?

After being reminded, Luo Mu instantly realized the reason why the man wearing a bear had intruded, and his eyes widened.

No way, yesterday after I returned to the villa, I took a long bath and changed into new clothes.

How could a bear wearing a mask smell something when he hadn’t even seen it?
At this time.

Tapu Kokoro, who was trapped in blind defense and unable to play to his strengths, was about to be unable to withstand the extraordinary power of the bear.

Electricity flashed on its body, as if it had begun to stimulate its body for a brief strengthening.

Luo Mu quickly shouted to Zhi Huixing: "Use orders to stop the actions of the bear!"

"Aye, Jutta!"

Zhihuixing responded quickly, waving the homemade feather fan in his hand that glowed brightly. A mysterious wave passed over Tapu Kokoro and landed on the body of the bear.

The bear in suit paused, and Tapu Mingming's pressure was instantly relieved.

But the good times didn't last long. After another high-pitched scream, the bear in the suit used its physical strength to break free from the constraints of spiritual power and increased its strength again.

Just as Zhi Huixing frowned and was about to try again, the forest sage behind him suddenly spoke.

"Yuta."

We work together.

As a Pokémon with high IQ, Chiron clearly understood what the Forest Sage meant and nodded without much hesitation.

The fight between the wise apes is based on a normal environment suitable for their fight.

If they are still foolishly fighting among themselves under such circumstances, then what's the point of arguing about who is smarter? They are all just fools.

As the two wise monkeys waved their feather fans one after another, the coercive force of the "Command" move fell on the bear. This time, even it could not break free in a short time.

He could only retract his fists and stand still quietly like a puppet controlled by Zhihuixing.

This way you can reason with it.

Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and said, "Are you looking for your child? I know where your child is!"

Even though his body could not move temporarily, after capturing the key words, the Bear in Black still turned his head and stared at Luo Mu with oppressive eyes.

It seemed that if Luo Mu did anything to the teddy bear, it would immediately break free from the "command" and strangle his spine.

"grumble--!"

With a sharp sound, the bear eagerly waited for Luo Mu's answer.
