Pokémon Researcher Road

Chapter 130 meet again
When heading to the Duduli tribe, the group passed by the landing site of the airship again.Rescue personnel have arrived and are urgently replacing the airbags on the airship. According to the progress of the project, the airship will probably be able to take off again in the evening.After exchanging a few pleasantries with the captain, Xuanma and Duogui followed Maggie and his party on the road again.Because the load was relatively light this time, and both Xuanjian and Duogui had almost learned how to ride a Duduli, so the Duduli ran at high speed throughout the whole process. When the sun was about to set, the group arrived at the Duduli tribe.

"It's finally here. After a while, the sun will completely set, and we won't be able to go on our way. After all, Duduli's night vision is not good!" Maggie pulled the rein and asked Duduli to slow down, then pointed to the place not far away where the smoke was rising, "That's the Duduli tribe. Everyone is waiting for us to go back!"

Xuanjian and Duduli, who were riding on multiple tracks, saw that their companions slowed down and did not need to be controlled by the two, so they also slowed down and followed Maggie towards the tribe.Xuanjian began to look at the tribe from a distance.

The Duduli tribe is built under a mountain wall, and the mountains behind it block the wind and sand, providing an area for the tribesmen to live in peace of mind without worrying about being buried by the wind and sand.The people of the tribe built their houses with stone slabs polished from reddish-brown rocks. From a distance, they seem to be integrated with the desert and appear extremely heavy and strong.On the mountain wall behind the tribe, people dug a lot of caves. Judging from the Dudu and Duduli coming in and out there, it may be a nest made for Dudu and Duduli.The Duduli carrying a large amount of goods was very conspicuous, and the people in the tribe quickly spotted the group.Seeing the caravan of their own tribe coming back, the people in the tribe immediately cheered and came to the village entrance to greet everyone like a hero.

"Everyone, we're back!" Maggie also excitedly waved her hands to the crowd who came out to greet her, and shouted loudly. Although she had only been away from the tribe for a few days, she was already homesick.

Enthusiastic people quickly gathered around to help the caravan unload Duduli's cargo, and a few strong young men moved it into the house, while Duduli was led by several young men who were about the same age as Xuanjian and walked to the lair on the mountain.Others excitedly surrounded the room containing the goods, waiting with smiles on their faces for the people inside to distribute the supplies.Although these people looked simple in their clothes, their energy was outstanding, and they deserved to be called the most powerful tribe.

Without staying there, Maggie brought Xuanjian and Duogui to a stone house in the middle, and said to the two of them, "You guys should stay here first tonight! There should be a bonfire party to celebrate in a while, so you should go too! Then you can eat some unique delicacies! By the way, the temperature difference between day and night here will be relatively large, and I will send you two leather jackets in a while, so you can wear them!"

"Thank you! Sister Maggie." The two thanked each other. Although the house looked a bit shabby, it could be seen that it had been tidied up with care. There were just two bedrooms inside, one for each of them.After putting away their things, the two walked towards the tribal center according to what Maggie said, where the party would be held.

When the two arrived at the center of the tribe, there was already a high fire, and people had gathered around the fire to wait for the party to start.Such bonfire parties are not often held by the tribe, usually during festivals or when there are some big happy events. Although tonight is the day when the caravan returns, it is not enough to hold such a party, but this time Xuanjian and Duogui came together, and they were treated as distinguished guests by the tribe, so there was such a party.

Xuanjian originally wanted to talk to the people of the tribe, but after the people around knew Xuanjian and Duogui's intentions, they respected them very much. When they saw them, they would salute them, which made Xuanjian and Duogui very embarrassed. In the end, they had to sit obediently in their seats and stopped walking around casually.

"Come, it's a special dish of our tribe." Maggie came to the two of them in full dress, carrying two eggs that were about the size of a baby's head, and said to them, and then she made a demonstration: "The top of this egg has already been opened, so you only need to gently peel off the shell, and you can taste the deliciousness inside." Maggie pressed the lower part of the egg with her dexterous left fingers, and gently peeled it off with her right hand, and the top shell fell off, revealing the deliciousness inside.

"It smells so good!" Xuanjian and Duogui smelled a tangy fragrance the moment the egg shell was peeled off, and they couldn't wait to taste it immediately.The egg is filled with egg stewed rice, that is, the rice, the opened egg and other ingredients are put together, slowly cooked, and the taste is very delicious.However, this egg stewed rice is different from ordinary egg stewed rice. Ordinary egg stewed rice is more cooked, but this one is soft and hard, and it also has a barbecue aroma.

"It's delicious! Ms. Maggie, this is rice and other ingredients put into the egg, and then buried in the fire to cook, right? But what kind of egg is this egg? It tastes very different?" asked Duogui.

"Yes, it is indeed done as you said, and this egg, of course it is Duduli's egg!" Maggie said surprisingly, which shocked the two of them, Duduli's egg?Isn't that an elf egg, is it really okay to use it for food?You should know that although elves are slightly lower than humans in status, they are also regarded as intelligent creatures and they still use them as food.

As if seeing the surprise of the two, Maggie smiled and said, "Not all of Duduli's eggs can be hatched, and they will also lay some eggs that cannot be hatched. We can use such eggs as food. But such eggs are rare, and they are rare specialties even in our tribe!"

Feeling the enthusiasm of the Duduli tribe, Xuanjian and Duogui became more concerned about this task.So in the early morning of the next day, we began to investigate the Duduli tribe to prepare for finding a direction that could help them develop.Maggie, who was most familiar with the two, naturally became the guide, and the main location of the investigation was the tribe's mine.

"The main ore mined by the tribe is iron ore, and this mine is also dominated by iron ore. However, it is impossible for each ore vein to have only one kind of ore, and it is often accompanied by other ores. In many cases, the value of these associated ores is often higher than that of the main ore, so we have to check to see if there are any high-value associated ores there!" Xuanjian said the reason why he chose the mine as the research target.

"But do you know the value of the ore better than the people in the tribe?" Duogui asked.

Uh, it makes sense, I can't even refute it.Xuanjian was also a little embarrassed, indeed, as a layman, what qualifications do I have to suspect that others have not found valuable ores!
"It doesn't matter!" Maggie said, "Although we do this for a living and know a lot about ores, Xuanjian might discover something different! Besides, we need to fully understand our tribe. Mines are also an important part of the tribe. If you don't look at it, you can't say you have a complete understanding!"

"That's right, that's it! Let's go!" Xuanjian said.Duogui no longer refuted, and a group of people walked towards the mine.

As Maggie said, mines are also an important part of their tribe, because their tribe has been mining for hundreds of years.The entrance of the mine is not far from the tribe. Led by Maggie, a group of people entered the mine.

"Come out, Stone Crab." Maggie summoned an elf, and then said, "You can also summon an elf, the mine here has been abandoned for a long time, and there are many wild elves inside."

The two nodded, Xuanjian first summoned the centipede that had just been subdued, and Duogui also summoned the conductive flying squirrel that had just been subdued. Since it is in the Hezhong area, it is better to use the local elves.

After summoning their respective elves, the three of them walked into the underground mine.After hundreds of years of continuous excavation, the mine tunnel has formed a huge underground labyrinth.After the mine was abandoned, some fluorescent fungi settled here, decorating the underground labyrinth like a dream.Later, all kinds of elves occupied this place and regarded it as their living home.When the Xuanjian three broke in, these elves immediately felt that their territory had been violated, and they all started commotion.

"There are so many elves!" Xuan Jian said in surprise as he looked at the commotion of elves.When I was outside, I hardly found any elves, but I didn't expect to see many here, including stone crabs, rolling bats, necromancer masks, centipedes, stone balls, etc., which made this underground world extraordinarily lively.

"Compared to the outside world, the temperature here is not high, and the temperature difference between day and night is not too big, so many elves like to live here." Maggie introduced.Randomly ordered Shiju Crab to drive away the elves who were peeping around, and took the two of them to observe.

With the continuous deepening, the light in the mine did not dim, but brightened.It turns out that there are already a lot of luminous fungi growing here, illuminating the entire underground world beautifully. This is completely the realistic version of the underground world of various online games in the previous life. Compared with this place, all caves are weak!With sufficient light, this place is better than the outside world, and a large number of elves come to settle here, making the entire underground world look vibrant.

Such a beautiful scenery here, coupled with rich elf resources, as long as some manual management is added, this place is completely suitable for establishing a wild wilderness area for those trainers to come here to capture elves.But the difficulty is that the place here is a bit remote, and the popularity is not enough. How to attract those trainers is a problem.After recording this idea in the notebook, Xuanjian concentrated on his tour.

This mine is a relatively old type and has long been abandoned, so it has formed its own unique ecosystem, while other mines have just been abandoned, and no elves have moved in yet. Under the leadership of Maggie, the time and multiple tracks were checked one by one, but there were no gratifying discoveries.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Maggie asked Xuanjian expectantly after the three of them had visited all the mines in the past few days except those mines that were still being mined.

"One thing," Xuanjian nodded, expressing his thoughts on establishing a wild wilderness area, and also pointed out the difficulties involved.

"What a pity!" Maggie sighed. When she heard Xuanjian's words, she was full of joy, but when she heard the difficulties she encountered, she was deeply disappointed. There is nothing to attract trainers from the tribe, and there are too few trainers here.

Finding that this road seems to be impossible, Xuanjian came up with other ideas: "I heard that many associated mineral veins are very valuable. I wonder if there are any associated mineral veins here?"

"Yes," Maggie nodded, "There are a large number of associated ore veins in the mines being mined now. It is because of these associated ore veins that our ore output will drop. But those ore veins are the kind of mines that can produce metal coatings. Unfortunately, the ore purity in this mine is too low to meet the requirements for producing metal coatings."

The current metal coating is mainly used to help the flying mantis evolve into a giant pincer mantis or to use it for steel elves to help them improve the power of steel-type skills. Both of them use very little metal coating, but the purity requirements are extremely high, so this vein does not meet the requirements at all.

Hearing Maggie's words, Xuanjian had an idea in his mind. At present, the secret of the rock snake's evolution into a big steel snake has not been discovered yet. Given the huge size of the big rock snake, the metal coating required for evolution must not be a small amount, and presumably the requirements for purity are not so high. Then as long as the fact that the big rock snake can evolve into a big steel snake is announced, these ores will immediately be taken seriously. And because of the large amount of use, trainers are likely to come here directly to help the big rock snake evolve, and the popularity here will increase.In this way, wilderness areas can also be built!However, whether these mineral veins can be used to make metal coatings that help rock snakes evolve is still a question, and it needs to be verified in practice.And the big rock snakes in the Hezhong area are also rare, so I can only think of a way after I return to Kanto!
At this time, Shiju Crab suddenly called out, and Maggie immediately alerted: "Be careful, there is a situation!" Shiju Crab is extremely sensitive to the vibration of the ground, and if other things approach, it can be found immediately.

Hearing Maggie's warning, Xuanjian and Duogui immediately lifted their spirits and looked around nervously. Xuanjian also immediately let go of his perception and tried to find the opponent, but before he could find the opponent, the opponent came out by himself.

"Don't be nervous, it's me!" A blond-haired man came out of a mine tunnel, and it was Caesar who had traveled with Duogui and Genma for a while.Seeing everyone, he smiled and said, "Long time no see, both of you!"
