159. Fighting for favor and capturing the flag
The next day, early in the morning.
As soon as white bellies appeared on the horizon, the Pokémon whose biological clocks were on time began their new day's routine.
When Jiang Xiao woke up, he found that Die Xiaodie and the others were not around. Just when he was a little strange, he saw Three Bees flying over.
Seeing him, Three Bees immediately showed a sweet smile, and used the wind skill to hold a piece of purple-red crystal honey and fly towards him.
"beep beep~~"
The three bees circled around Jiang Xiao, and then placed the sweet crystal honey in front of him, seemingly letting Jiang Xiao taste the fruits of his labor.
"Three Bees, did you go collecting honey early in the morning?" Jiang Xiao asked curiously.
"beep beep~~"
Three Bees nodded with a smile. The day's plan starts in the morning, and it can't sleep in late.
"Three Bees, you are amazing!"
After being recognized by SanBee, Jiang Xiao gave SanBee a thumbs up and praised.
"beep beep~~"
Three Bees circled excitedly after hearing this.
"Three Bees, put the Jingjing Honey in the lunch box. I'll cook you a sumptuous dinner later!" Jiang Xiao said.
"By the way, where did Die Xiaodie and the others go? Why didn't you see them?"
Thinking that Die Xiaodie and the others were missing, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"beep beep~~"
The three bees circled in the air, then flew towards the south, then stopped and looked at Jiang Xiao eagerly.
"Did you go there?"
Jiang Xiao understood what Sanbee meant.
So, Jiang Xiao followed Three Bees and walked to the south of the tent. He remembered that there seemed to be a stream there, if he remembered correctly.
Not long after walking, the view ahead opened up, and the sound of rushing water appeared. Jiang Xiao saw Chongdianbao and Die Xiaodie fishing on the edge of the stream.
The insect electric treasure submerged its body in the water, and a strong electric current rushed into the water. Under the impact of the electric current, many white minnow carp were electrocuted.
The fish in the stream were flipped to the surface by the electric shock, and Die Xiaodie easily picked out the stunned white minnow carp with her telekinesis.
On the other side of the stream, the king mantis caught a few hairy cliff crabs. It is not known how far the king mantis ran before he found these few crabs.
Looking at the things in their respective hands (mouths), Jiang Xiao immediately realized that the little guys were preparing breakfast for him.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Jiang Xiao felt that Die Xiaodie and the others seemed to have a sense of competition.
Anyway, Jiang Xiao used the ingredients they found to make a sumptuous breakfast.
They ate spicy hairy crab claws, grilled fish with crystal honey, and drank crystal honey lemon tea, paired with other elf foods and tree fruits.
"This is the third day. I should work harder to find the flag. Otherwise, the final champion will leave me." Jiang Xiao thought to himself.
In the past few days, Jiang Xiao had not bothered to look for flags. The total of all the flags was only two or three hundred points, which was at best average.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao decided to focus next on collecting flags.
After all, this is the theme of the event, and his goal has always been No.1.
So, after eating, Jiang Xiao took Die Xiaodie and the others to the next stop immediately.
Unknowingly, Jiang Xiao and his party came to a pond, which was a pond upstream of the stream. The water surface here seemed gentle, but the undercurrent below the pond was quite slow.
Standing by the pond, Jiang Xiao saw the Pokémon living around. Most of them were water-type elves, including tadpoles, Slowpoke, giant tongue clams, giant claw crabs, horned goldfish, carp kings...
In the pond, there are some green leaves floating on the water, which look a bit like lotus leaves, but there is a blue flag on the lotus leaves.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao's expression changed slightly.
There was a blue flag placed on the lotus leaf, which was telling Jiang Xiao that there was something wrong.
He has been through a lot.
The organizer would not just put such an important blue flag on an ordinary lotus leaf. There would at least be a powerful elf or an elf group guarding it, that's for sure.
"If that's the case, then those lotus leaves...are they lotus leaf boys? Or..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao stared at the lotus leaves floating on the water. Some did not respond, but they were real lotus leaves, while some had problems.
Lines of small words emerged from his eyes.
Lotus hat boy
Talent: lv28
Level: lv28 (100%)
Attributes: water type, grass type
Characteristics: Goes its own way [Special effects: Because it goes its own way, it won’t turn into a state of chaos]
After seeing the true identity of the boy in the lotus hat, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but curse in his heart, this sixth child was actually mixed with the real lotus leaf.
Then, Jiang Xiao looked at all the lotus leaves on the pond. Most of them were real lotus leaves, and the rest were lotus leaf boys and lotus hat boys.
The highest level is the Lotus Hat Boy!
As for the Lotus Hat Boy's evolved form, Lotte Kappa, there is no such thing in the pond.
It's not a group of elves as large as Three Bees, Jiang Xiao has the confidence to come and go freely.
Therefore, he was ready to get the blue flag from the lotus hat boy.
"Die Xiaodie, fly over quietly and use your telekinesis to take away the little flag."
Jiang Xiao said to Die Xiaodie. After getting Jiang Xiao's agreement, Die Xiaodie flew over quietly.
Butterfly's flying movement is much lighter than other flying Pokémon, playing like a normal pink butterfly in the sky above the pond.
After getting the attention of other elves, Die Xiaodie took advantage of the situation and used her telekinesis to take away the blue flag.
The little blue flag was taken away, and the boy in the lotus hat immediately felt something was wrong. He poked his head out of the pond and saw Die Xiaodie flying towards the shore with the blue flag.
"Kunkun~~"
The lotus hat boy let out an angry cry.
Suddenly, each "lotus leaf" turned into a lotus leaf boy or a lotus hat boy. They all stared angrily at Die Xiaodie in the sky.
The boss's treasure has been taken away. Of course, the younger brothers must snatch it back and even teach the robber a lesson.
They want to kill chickens to scare monkeys, and no one can spy on their boss's treasure.
"Kunkun!!"
After receiving the order from the Lotus Hat Boy, the Lotus Hat Boy and the Lotus Leaf Boy immediately launched an attack.
They sprayed out jets of water, shooting at Die Xiaodie like high-pressure water cannons.
"Gulu~~"
Die Xiaodie flew in the air, moved quickly, and clearly avoided their attacks, returned to the shore, and handed the little flag to Jiang Xiao.
The lotus-hatted children became even more angry.
They can't catch Die Xiaodie, so they can't handle you, a human being?
"Kunkun!!"
Under the order of the Lotus Hat Boys, the target of attack was changed. The Lotus Leaf Boys sprayed a large amount of water jets towards Jiang Xiao on the shore.
How could Die Xiaodie and the others watch Jiang Xiao being attacked by the lotus hat children.
Juan Wang Mandarin slashed down with his sword and cut off the water. Die Xiaodie then used his telekinesis to disperse the water.
Zhongdianbao seized the opportunity and directly used the discharge skill. A large amount of electricity rushed into the pond, and a large number of elves suddenly suffered.
Jiang Xiao saw that the situation was not good, Chongdianbao made people angry with its discharge, so he quickly took Die Xiaodie and the others to escape from the pond.
