This elf world is kind of weird

Chapter 191 The Lost Ice Treasure and the Mystery of Illusions (6400)

"I said Ice Pokémon... can you stop crying? You are an ice-type Pokémon, not a water-type Pokémon, why can you cry so much?"

Beside the bonfire, Filio felt a little dizzy as he looked at the ice treasure, which was holding the elf food and chewing it with tears falling down.

"K...Kachi!——"

It was okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Bing Bao cried even louder.

But despite crying, the Elf Food in her arms never let go, and even the speed of stuffing it into her mouth did not slow down at all.

It seems... this little guy is not only made of water, but also starved.

It was the first time I saw a Pokémon that would never stop crying, and the tears were more instant than the little dream monster. Philio had no choice but to reach out and touch the ice treasure because there was no ice armor. And the soft body, silent for a long time, asked helplessly:
"...So, Bingbao, why did you appear here by yourself? What about the elders in the family? They wouldn't let a child as young as you run out to play by themselves, would they?"

"K-Kachi..."

The three soul questions seemed to be pinched by Bingbao's non-existent "neck", and it froze in place for an instant while crying.

Until then, the sleeping memory was awakened.

Only then did it remember the previous thinking that was interrupted by the battle.

I seem to be... really... lost?

"Kach..."

Real horror appeared in the big, weird eyes.

What was accumulated this time was no longer a pretense, but tears that were truly poured out of fear.

"Hey, well, I see. In other words, you also came here because of hallucinations, right? Can you still remember where home is?"

Sighing, he patted Bing Bao who was curled up in fear. Seeing it like this, how could Philio not know the real situation of the little guy?

Undoubtedly, another poor kid who ran away from home by mistake and couldn't find his way home.

"Kachi... Kachi! Kachi!"

Bingbao looked at Filio hesitantly, and there was a group of Pokémon who were not very amiable, but not cruel. Delicate and domineering, but in such an occasion, it also quickly recognized the reality, lowered its head obediently, and scratched and pulled on the ground with its short limbs.

It took a lot of effort to draw a huge irregular figure, which is more like a ghost drawing than a picture.

"Jera|ω｀)"

Xinlinbao, who peeked at Bingbao's movements, held back a smile. It was the first time he saw someone with uglier paintings and less artistic cells than it and the crustacean, and his self-confidence was born spontaneously.

"Ai Luヾ(≧▽≦*)o Ah Choo!"

Compared with Xinlinbao, who was somewhat loyal, Feng Yaojin didn't have so many worries. She slapped the aggrieved Bingbao and laughed so hard that she sneezed and brought herself down and fell on the ice.

"Elu..."

With ice cubes and ice water all over his body, the little sheep, who was extremely happy but sad at the same time, immediately understood the literal chill of falling into an ice cave, shivering with cold, and ducked into Philio's arms.

"Kach..."

His eyes drooped weakly and he searched repeatedly on the ground. His blue and white body was slightly red. Bing Bao, who was timid and very proud, felt very embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

"clatter"

"clatter"

"Okay, it's enough for you. Although this little guy's painting is a bit ugly, you can still recognize him." Two heads, neither light nor heavy, hit the foreheads of Xinlin Bao and Wind Fairy. Filio Angrily and funny, he pulled the two gloating little ones apart, struggled to pick up the ice treasure, which was not light even without the ice armor, and said, "What you drew is the hot spring in the deepest part of the third floor of this cave, right? ? Oh, the hot spring I'm talking about is that kind of hot water, isn't it there?"

"Kaqi? Kaqi! Kaqi Kaqi!"

Hearing "hot water", Bingbao's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly, and his whole body shook accordingly.

It didn't matter what happened. The heavy body used the inertia to almost miss Filio's arm. Without paying attention, it hit the ice with a "clang".

"You are also amazing, you can run from the third floor to the gate, no wonder the family can't find you..."

Rubbing his slightly sore wrist, Philio shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether the little turtle in front of him was smart or stupid, lucky or unlucky.

"Kaqi o(╥﹏╥)o"

I don't know if it's the pain from the fall or homesickness, Bingbao lies on the ground weakly, but occasionally his body twitches twice, crying very sadly.

"Enpei!"

"Qi Duo!"

Seeing this scene, the emperor Nabo and Da Zui Baby, who were anxious and righteous, came forward to pat and pet, and after a lot of comfort, they managed to stop the golden bean that broke the embankment again.

Although he knew that probably half of this was performed by this thoughtful little guy to gain sympathy, Filio still couldn't bear it. He picked up the rice spoon and gave it some food when it was tired of crying.

"Forget it, let's have a good meal first, and then rest here for a while. I'll help you find your way home tomorrow. It just so happens that I also have to find something in the cave, and I must go deeper. If you’re leaving, I’ll help you along the way, it doesn’t count as a delay.”

The little turtle was overjoyed but couldn't believe it: "Ka...Kaqi?!"

"What to do to lie to you, you don't taste good."

Seeing the cute look of the little guy, Philio became playful and licked his lips on purpose.

"Ka Ka Ka Ka Qi?! Ka Qi! Ka Qi!"

This lick really frightened Bing Bao. Its short limbs burst out with unprecedented strength. Even during the battle, I had never seen it so agile. It jumped three feet high, screaming in panic and tears in its eyes.

Unappetizing!It doesn't taste good at all!
So, after an unexpected short battle, a pair of chopsticks and a mouth were added to the temporary camp in the evening.

It is worth mentioning that a certain little guy who was frightened by Philio's words "not delicious" was afraid that this would be his last meal. His stomach became so round after eating that he could hardly move with his four short legs. .
-
At night, the bonfire gradually extinguished, leaving only the vigilant Emperor Nabo lying on the ice, breathing evenly.

The sneaky Bing Bao dragged his heavy body up, walked over to the burnt firewood, and poked it twice.

"click"

The fragile coke shattered, and Bingbao's body was also stained black.

"Kach..."

The frustrated little guy fell to the ground with a "baji", feeling aggrieved.

Having never been away from his parents for more than half a day, he felt homesick.

It's just chasing a little Hula who always plays pranks together and has a good relationship with him out to play, but for some reason, he suddenly becomes confused and loses the trace of the other party.

After searching all the way, not only could they not find Xiao Xuanla, but they also completely lost their way.

I was in a place I had never been before, and somehow bumped into a guy I didn't see at all, and then I was beaten up, and now I still have a faint pain in my body.

Although I ate a delicious and full meal, it was still sad to be scared enough.

In the past, it played around every day and never got lost. Why is it today...

I can't figure it out, I can't find it when I look for it, and Bingbao, who is not superficial but is still an immature cub in the final analysis, is very depressed.

Sometimes it was gnashing its teeth, and sometimes it was about to cry. It could not sleep no matter what, tossing and turning, and it was not until most of the night that it managed to fall asleep holding the warm Emperor Nabo.

When the small snoring sound came from the cool and soft body of Bingbao, Emperor Nabo, who had been sleeping silently, opened one eye, looked half sympathetically and half helplessly at the little turtle in his arms, and then close.

The early warnings and organs all over the camp are looming, and the air is filled with powerful Pokémon threatening pheromones, which disperse all wild Pokémon that may pose a threat.

All night.
-
"Kage! Kage!"

"Hmm...? You woke up so early, Ice Treasure. Hey, has the ice on your body recovered yet? Although I know that ice armor like yours is very useful for protecting the body, I still feel that it is not as cute as last night. "

Early in the morning, Filio, who was still sleeping soundly, was awakened by a chill and shivered from the cold.

Looking up, after accumulating in the middle of the night, the ice armor on the back of Bingbao has completely recovered, and it seems to have become thicker.

"Kachi! Kachi kachi!"

After a good night's sleep, Bingbao regained her spirit and was proudly raising her little head to show off the ice behind her, not interested in Philio's aesthetics.

For them, the thicker and sharper the ice on their bodies is, the more handsome and powerful they are. If one day, the ice armor accumulates to the limit and the body grows to the extreme, they will usher in Transformed into an ice rock monster that can cross the polar ocean.

At that time, the ice on the back will turn into a huge iceberg, which is extremely spectacular.

Describing a bright future even with words and gestures, Bingbao's eyes are full of longing.

Outside the tent, Emperor Nabo was holding a towel and smiling softly.

It seemed that the rapidly recovering ice armor did not lack its help.

"March..."

"Qiduo..."

Little Mengyao and Big Mouth Baby, who obviously hadn't had enough sleep, struggled to get up, rubbing their eyes with difficulty, feeling a little unhappy.

As for Sun Eevee, it didn't wake up at all, its long tail was still tightly wrapped around Philio's wrist, and its four limbs were holding one arm of Philio, showing no intention of letting go.

"...Well, a good person will do it to the end, get up and cook! Ah-huh"

Philio yawned lazily, and after giving Bing Bao a resounding slap on the head, he stood up with difficulty, carrying the "oil bottles" on him.

In this cave where day and night are indistinguishable, time really doesn’t mean much, and it’s all supported by the biological clock.

The light moss everywhere makes the light in the cave always bright, and many cold-resistant crops even breed. The further you go inside, the more vibrant it becomes.

The only abnormal thing is that almost all wild Pokémon turned a blind eye to Philio and his party who came here unexpectedly.

No, it should be said that "I didn't see them at all" on an objective level.

It was the same as Philio himself at the beginning, and the ice treasure that rushed towards him with a tiger head and a tiger brain.

"Bing Bao, this wasn't like this before, right?"

Philio asked Bing Bao in a deep voice while using his superpower to explore the sound wave that had secretly attracted him from the beginning.

"Kach!"

Shaking his head decisively, Bingbao's answer was decisive.

From the time it was born until now, it has never seen such a strange situation.

"Then have you...forget it recently, you definitely don't know." I wanted to ask something more, but seeing Bingbao's ignorant appearance, Philio hesitated to speak, and began to analyze by himself, "Sound waves and hallucinations , from hearing to vision, maybe including a little perception? Hmm...it's amazing, but what exactly is it?"

With confusion and doubts, and under the full protection of superpowers, the group of people shuttled through the intricate passages.

Along the way, from immature miniature ice and sneezing bears, to powerful ivory pigs and tundra bears, all the wild Pokémon I saw seemed to be wandering in their own hallucinatory world, with relaxed or dignified expressions, Wandering around like a headless chicken.

It even includes an old painter with most of his hair bald and his Tutu dog.

They were dancing on an empty plain, muttering something incessantly, but it was unclear because of their age. Even if they got close, they couldn't hear clearly.

"Kach..."

The weird environment and people made Bingbao, who was still in high spirits when he set off, a little scared, and shrank and hid behind Emperor Nabo and Xinlinbao.

"Old sir? Are you all right?"

Philio was not sure what the old man's condition was, so he could only step forward, lean next to the old man and ask softly.

However, such a sound could not attract the attention of the old man at all.

There was joy in his eyes, not only did he not find Filio, but he sang and danced with the Tutu dog, humming an unknown tune.

"Hey...it seems to be the same. Ahem!" He shook his head helplessly, cleared his throat, and shouted, "Old man! Are you okay?!"

"what!--"

The sudden loud noise overwhelmed the sound waves that confused everyone, and frightened the old man so much that he almost fell to the ground, and the drawing board and brushes in his hands were scattered on the ground.

Not only the old man, but also the Tutu dog and the wild messenger bird circling not far away were instantly awakened.

"Bud!"

The timid messenger bird was so frightened that it ran away. It even forgot that it could fly. It rolled and crawled and disappeared in the cave with complicated terrain in the blink of an eye.

"Dub! Dob!"

The Tutu dog seemed to be on the verge of a formidable enemy, supporting the terrified old man with one hand, and pinching its long tail with the other, releasing bodily fluids with a deterrent smell.

Philio raised his hands and stepped back step by step, explaining as he walked: "Old man, I didn't mean to scare you. You didn't reply just now, so I became louder."

"Ah? This... This is..."

The old man with lingering fears didn't even care about the drawing board that fell on the ground, and kept stroking his chest to let his breath flow. After a long time, he raised his eyes and found something abnormal.

"I... I'm not supposed to be... This is?!"

"Dob?!"

The expressions of one person and one Pokémon are instantly synchronized, and everything in the illusion disappears.

"You, like other Pokémon here, have fallen into some kind of unexplained hallucination. I initially judge that it is the influence of sound waves, but I can't find the source yet. Do you have any clues?"

Handing the handkerchief to the old man whose forehead was sweating in a short time, Philio stepped forward again, held him by the arm, and asked.

"Thank you, young man, you helped me." The old man was in shock. He took the handkerchief tremblingly and wiped the sweat that fell down his forehead. His tone was full of fear, "The clue... I don't know how. Otherwise, I’ll tell you what’s going on here.”

"I came here two days ago with my Tutu dog. At first..."

"Dub! Dob!"

He found a fairly flat stone and sat down. The panting old man whispered softly and recounted his experience in the ice cave for two days. The Tutu dog beside him also barked twice from time to time, telling the old man Making additions.

The old man's name is Bangyan, he is a famous painter, this time he came to the Frozen Cave, and he was entrusted by someone to draw materials to complete a painting related to ice and snow.

Two days ago, it entered the cave with the already selected model Pokémon Snow Fairy, but within half a day, during a violent geological movement, the frightened Snow Fairy fled around and went to nowhere.

The old man and the Tutu dog hurriedly searched for it. Although they finally found it in a small cave, they also fell into the same scene as Phileo at some point during the search, circling back and forth in a small area , the exit cannot be found.

After a while, some new hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes, which were the beautiful scenery that the old man dreamed of. 's arrival

"Old man, you have really good bones. You were able to persist for so long in the hallucination after hypothermia... You won't dare to work so hard in the future."

Listening to the old man's story, Philio broke into a cold sweat.

If the previous hallucinations were merely disorienting, the unknowing hypothermia after being lost for a long time is truly dangerous.

Bang Yan pressed his thigh, and then sighed in fear: "Hey! Yes, I don't dare to stay like this any longer. Thinking about it makes me shudder... It's really thanks to you, young man, otherwise my old life would be so terrible. I’ll explain it here.”

Filio smiled and waved his hand: "I dare not say that, Mr. Bangyan, it's just a simple task. In addition, I also have something to trouble you. I hope that when you go back, you can explain the situation to Fengxu Branch based on your own experience. Please They also sent someone to investigate. Although I have contacted them by phone, I am worried that I did not explain it clearly enough, so I would like to ask you to help me."

"Of course it's no problem." The old man nodded, and he naturally knew that Philio's words were setting him up. He nodded gratefully, took out the map again, compared it carefully, thought for a long time, and finally pointed out a direction, he said firmly, "The location where the previous shock occurred should be in this direction. If you want to say what happened, I think it is most likely there."

"I can't help you at my age. I can only wish you success, child. Investigations and everything else are secondary. You must take care of yourself! Don't go to dangerous places!"

"Dobu!"

Seeing Filio drifting away, the old man and the Tutu dog exhorted loudly, and after getting a positive response, they helped him walk towards the way Filio came, talking with each other with lingering fears while walking.

The severely frightened Snow Demon has been hiding in the poke ball and shivering since the very beginning, and has been living in a safe area. She was trained as a model since she was a child, and suddenly encountered such an accident, which may have caused a lot of psychological shadow.

After all this trouble, the model is naturally useless. Considering the old man's physical condition, it may take some time to fully recover.

As a result, the day when the painting will be completed is estimated to be in the foreseeable future.

God's will often fails to meet people's wishes, and even the best plan sometimes cannot withstand unexpected changes.
-
Following the direction pointed by the old man, Philio moved forward.

The wild Pokémon on the road were the same as those he encountered before, and they all ignored Filio and his party, which saved him a lot of trouble. Following the natural stairs made of ice and rocks, he easily reached the ice formation. The second level of the cave is about halfway up the mountain from the outside world.

Here, I don’t know whether the old man’s map recognition was accurate or just luck, but he really gained something.

Sound waves that were originally imperceptible to hearing gradually become faintly audible.

The invisible shock echoed in the bottom of my heart, and the questions that had troubled Filio for a long time were also partially answered.

Through the perception of superpowers, the echoing sound waves finally have a visual form, which is reflected in Philio's eyes.

The smooth ice surface, rock walls, and countless corridors stacked on top of each other have become the mirrors and channels needed for the infinite reflection of sound waves.

Between seven turns and eight turns, the source is already hard to find, but the objective existence of this soul-stirring sound can be perceived.

"Hmph...a little trick!"

"Buy!"

Clenching his fists, a tide of superpowers gushed out from Philio's body, and quickly merged with Ibrahimovic Sun, turning into turbulent waves and rushing forward along the narrow corridor.

"call--"

In the invisible collision, the chaotic but confusing sound vanishes into nothingness. No matter whether it is the fluctuation of energy or the echo of sound, under the engulfment of super power, it will only end in annihilation.

"Kach!"

Shaking off the cotton balls plugging its ears, feeling the long-lost refreshment and tranquility, it happily ran forward, ready to lead the way for Filio.

After returning to the second floor, the road ahead gradually became familiar, allowing Bingbao to see the hope of returning home to reunite with his parents and elders.

The short legs were swinging rapidly, and the speed seemed to be at a higher level than when fighting the Heart Scale Treasure.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is always skinny.

"Maybe, this is the result of the geological movement that Mr. Bangyan said? It's really serious..."

After struggling to move a rock blocking the way, and after perceiving it carefully, Philio said in a low voice.

Although he is not an expert in geology like Dawu, he still has basic common sense.

There is no doubt that these rocks and ice blocks collapsed not long ago, blocking Bing Bao's only way home, blocking the originally spacious cave tightly.

Although the collapsed area is not large, if excavation is carried out blindly without investigation, the structure above, which has become fragile due to the shock, is likely to collapse a second time or completely collapse, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"Kach..."

Standing in front of the obstacle made up of countless crushed ice and rocks, Bing Bao turned pale with fright.

"Ka...Kaqi..."

The little guy couldn't figure it out, he clearly walked down the third floor not long ago, why was he blocked?

When he thought about not being able to go back home and see his family and elders who loved him, the fear that arose once again occupied his heart.

"Maki~Maki~!"

Unable to see Bing Bao's pitiful appearance, Meng Yao leaned forward, regardless of the frosty cold, happily rubbing the other's cheek, infecting the depressed little turtle with her own emotions.

"Perhaps you took another road by mistake. Don't take it too seriously. There will be a way. We have already come this far, and we will definitely be able to send you home."

Blinking at the little dream monster asking for credit, Philio gently touched the cool icicle on top of Bing Bao's head and said comfortingly.

As he said that, his eyes fixed, as if he wanted to penetrate the obstacle in front of him: "Since you can't get through here, let's find another way and find the source of the sound first."
