Pokemon Settler

Chapter 68 Apiary

After running for a certain distance in the forest, Dairubi suddenly stopped, lowered his body and stared in one direction.

Seeing this, Roque quickly slowed down his steps, hid behind a tree and quietly stretched out his head to observe.

A beehive appeared in front of him. More than a dozen iron-shelled bees were hanging densely on the tree. Unicorns were eating grass leaves under the tree. Three large needles that stayed behind were holding huge double needles at the edge of the nest. Patrolling back and forth.

Judging from the size, Rock judged that this should be considered a medium-sized hive, and the number of large needles was about ten to fifteen.

The other big needles should be out looking for food. This is a good opportunity for Rock.

He gestured to Arbor and Darubi, and the two elves quietly sneaked towards the hive from different directions.

After a few breaths, Roque felt that the two elves were already in place and gave the order to attack through his mind.

Arbor and Darubi rushed out from their hiding places at the same time.

Strong wind blew through the trees, breaking the branches and leaves.

The stronger Abo monster attacked first, biting an unsuspecting large needle with lightning speed, and then a ghostly shadow appeared in the eyes with facial makeup patterns on its chest and abdomen, and it pounced on another one that was about to attack. The big needle that flew away instantly reduced the opponent's speed.

At this time, Delubi, who had solved an opponent, opened his mouth and fired a jet of flames at the big needle. The wings of the big needle were instantly scorched black and fell from the air.

The battle ended very quickly.

Derubi, don't let those one-horned bugs escape! The Arbor monsters control them!

Rock ran out from the grass next to the beehive and gave instructions loudly.

This time, Delubi did not kill the opponent after solving the opponent. After hearing Rock's instructions, he immediately ran to the periphery of the hive, patrolling back and forth, and used sparks to drive back the unicorn insects that wanted to escape.

On the other side, the Arbo monster raised its upper body in the hive, exuding a powerful aura, and at the same time, the facial makeup patterns on its chest and abdomen shone fiercely.

The one-horned insects in the nest were frightened by the threat and the big snake's glare, and they all froze in place and trembled.

After taking control of the scene, Rock asked Delubi to be on guard at the perimeter, and he and the Arbor monster began to screen the unicorn worms.

The screening method was based on information that Roque queried from the computer sent by Rui, but that computer could no longer be turned on due to lack of power.

That was a paper published by Dr. Ohgi, a well-known researcher in the Kanto region.

It introduced some research related to big tit-for-tat in detail. Rock didn't understand the specific principles, but he remembered the final conclusion.

The general meaning of that information is that the process of making honey by the giant needle is closely related to its poison glands, so individuals with excellent honey-gathering abilities can be selected through the toxicity of the poisonous stings of the horned insects.

Under the same conditions, the stronger the toxicity of the needle, the better the quality of the honey produced.

Since there is no reference standard for accurately judging the toxicity index, Rock's screening plan is to choose one from five. If he encounters a small hive with less than five unicorn beetles, he will select the most toxic one.

Please, Monster Abo, pick out the three most poisonous one-horned bugs.

Rock patted Arbo's body and stood aside holding the worm box.

There are a total of sixteen unicorn bugs in this nest. Catching three of them will not have any impact on the group.

After hearing Rock's instructions, the Arbor monster slowly swam around these unicorn bugs. Every time he passed one, he stretched out his snake letter and tapped the poisonous needle on their head a few times.

Its snake letter has the ability to detect the strength of poison, and as a poison-type Pokémon, Arbor is basically not poisoned.

Poison and steel type elves will only fall into a poisoned state under some special circumstances. These one-horned insects obviously do not have this ability.

When the unicorn bugs were too scared to move, Arbor Monster quickly selected the three most poisonous ones. Rock carefully grasped their necks to prevent himself from being pricked by the poisonous needles.

He put the three one-horned worms into the worm box and quickly got up and left.

As he left, he whistled. Dairubi, who was alert in the distance, heard it and ran quickly to follow him and evacuate together.

Returning to the place where the sledge was parked, guarded by Laurel Leaf, Rock separated the three unicorn bugs and placed them in the worm box at the bottom of the carriage.

He hurriedly put away the unicorn beetle, and then headed back to the forest without stopping.

For a whole day, Rock, Arbor, and Delubi ran back and forth in Viridian Forest. In order to catch as many unicornworms as possible, they didn't even eat lunch.

It has to be said that Viridian Forest is indeed a paradise for insect Pokémon. In one day, Rock encountered ten giant needle lairs.

In addition to three medium-sized nests and five small-sized nests, there are also two large-sized nests.

Each of these two large nests contains no less than fifty large needles.

Except for the large nests that took some effort, the large needles in the medium and small nests were completely unable to stop the invasion of Derubi and Arbo monsters.

However, Rock just wanted to tame some unicorn beetles to collect honey, not the extinction of the species, so he only temporarily made those big needles incapable of fighting.

After searching basically all of Viridian Forest within the territory, as well as part of the territory outside the territory, Rock barely scraped together forty-five one-horned insects.

It was still some time before dark, but Rock was not ready to continue searching.

The first unicorn beetle he captured had not had any water for a long time and had to be returned to its home as soon as possible.

Rock tied the worm box on the truck body tightly with a rope, and it felt very stable when he pulled it. Then he put the saddle bag on Bayleaf, tightened the straps, and patted its neck.

Go back!

After shouting, Rock grabbed the handle on the back of the truck body with both hands, arched his body and pushed the sledge hard with Abo Monster.

The slide rails under the car rubbed against the grass from slow to fast, and finally broke through the grass waves and started driving at high speed.

Woof woof!

Dairubi, who had no other tasks, happily chased the sledge, running to the left and right.

The clouds were illuminated pink by the setting sun, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

Early summer is approaching, and the warm wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers blows into his face. Rock feels very happy, and his tired body is energized again.

In the brilliant golden-red afterglow, Rock returned home with a full load.

He parked the sledge directly on the high slope to the north of the camp, which was about 1.5 kilometers away from his camp, where Rock was going to build a house.

This location was chosen by Rock as the apiary. It is located a little west-north of the tree orchard and is very close to the tree orchard, less than 800 meters away.

In addition to the good location, the conditions such as height, lighting, and water sources are also very suitable.

The site is on a high slope at the foot of the mountain, so there is no need to worry about flooding, and there is plenty of sunlight. There is also a mountain spring nearby.

What makes Rock most satisfied is the 30-meter-high beech forest growing here. The umbrella-like canopy can protect the insect box below from wind and rain, and the large petals falling on the ground are excellent food for the one-horned worms. .

When they evolve into large needles, the tall and thick branches of these beech trees can firmly support their hives.

Judging from the hives Roque has seen, one of these big trees is more than enough for two giant needles to build a nest.

Rock took the worm box down from the carriage and placed it in an irregular circle around the six tallest-looking beech trees.

This is to imitate the nesting habits of giant needles in the wild. When these unicorn beetles evolve, they will use this place as their nest, build a hive around these six big trees, and multiply and grow.
