Chapter 501 Stir-fried Bamboo Shoots with Bacon

Gu Jianwo suddenly felt that his body was enveloped in a warm breath.

 This feeling has not been felt for many years.

Since absorbing too much power of disaster, its consciousness has become groggy and lost in the cold darkness, and even its perception of the outside world is intermittent.

 And now this warm feeling…

 Gu Jianwo slowly opened his eyes.

 “Gulu?” (What’s wrong with me?)

 Everything in front of him gradually became clearer, and Gu Jianwei felt that he had stepped out of the chaos and arrived at a place full of vitality where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.

Here, it saw a strange human being, many strange Pokémon, and its old acquaintances Gudinglu and Guyuyu.

 The next second, Gu Jianwo's face showed an expression of disbelief.

 “Gulu! Gulu?” (How come you two are here! Could it be that the four of us have gone to heaven and are no longer in this world?)

Gudinglu: “…”

  Ancient jade fish: “…”

 Gudinglu smiled and said to Naoki: "Moo!" (It seems that this guy is old and confused!)

Guyuyu explained speechlessly: "Guyu." (This is not a paradise, this is Zhishu's pasture.)

“Guru.” (It was he who helped us and freed us from the seal. It was also thanks to him that the power of disaster absorbed by us was driven away.)

Hearing this, Gu Jianwo slowly turned his head and looked at the human standing next to Gu Dinglu with his turbid eyes.

Zhi Shu smiled and greeted it: "Hello, Gu Jianwo, I am Zhi Shu, the owner of this ranch."

 “Guxi…” At first, Gu Jianwo didn’t have much reaction to these words.

But just when Naoki thought he was thinking, Gu Jianwo suddenly got a jolt: "Guxi?" (Did you help us get rid of those terrible disasters?)

Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's me. By the way, Gu Jianwo, do you feel any changes in your body now?"

He was curious about what kind of changes the inverted ancient slip snail had.

 One second, two seconds, three seconds…

 Zhi Shu, Gu Ding Lu and Gu Yu Yu looked at the ancient slip snail together, waiting for its answer.

 As a result, a long time passed, and Gu Jianwo didn't even speak.

Gudinglu complained: "Moo." (It seems that this old guy is still the same, he is always slow to do everything.)

 Naoki: “…”

 Very good, this is in line with the habits of snails.

At this moment, Gu Jianwo finally spoke.

 "Gurgling...!" (The old body...What on earth is going on? It has become revitalized! The old body actually has this kind of power!)

 “What kind of power is it?” Naoki asked quickly.

 Half a minute later, Gu Jianwo replied with a face full of surprise: "Guxi!" (Laowan can now provide energy for nearby vegetation, nourish the growth of the forest, and also bless the harvest of flowers, fruits and trees!)

 Hearing this, Zhishu understood in his heart.

 “Is it really what I thought?”

 The current ancient slip snail is known as Xiao Lei Guan Wang.

 So far, many Pokémon in the ranch have this power.

 In addition to King Lei Guan, there are three mount goats, and then there is Gu Jian Snail.

 For Zhishu, it is no longer unusual for crops to grow into something all of a sudden.

 He nodded and said to Gu Jianwo: "From now on, you can live in the pasture with everyone!"

 The matter of the ancient Jianwo has been resolved, and now there is only the last ancient sword leopard left.

Zhi Shu decided to wait until tomorrow to gather together the last disaster Pokémon.

But now, he is going to pick up the Bear Apprentice from the World Tree and take him home.

 “Then I’ll leave Gu Jianwo to the care of you two.” Zhi Shu turned around and said to Gu Ding Lu and Gu Yu Yu.

 “Moo!” (No problem, leave it to me!)

Gudinglu agreed immediately.

 Zhishu turned and left.

Gu Jianwo slowly followed behind Gu Dinglu and Gu Yuyu and listened to their introduction to the ranch.

After walking for a while, Gu Jianwo felt a little tired, so he stopped and stayed on the grass to bask in the setting sun.

 The Ancient Cauldron Deer and the Ancient Jade Fish also stopped.

Gu Jianwo said slowly: "Gulu." (That human being is really weird, he just left me and you two here.)

    Ancient slips and snails know very well that they are extremely precious treasures to human beings.

Countless people once wanted to get them, using various methods such as stealing, robbing, and deceiving.

And now, this human named Naoki has just left them outside...

Isn't he afraid that greedy thieves will come and **** them away?

Guchu Jianwo is very puzzled.

Gu Dinglu, who was the first to arrive, thought calmly for a while and then answered:

“Moo moo.” (Maybe it’s because Naoki has never regarded us as treasures? In his heart, I and you are just ordinary Pokémon.)

The evening wind blew gently, and bathing in this natural atmosphere, Gu Jianwo felt relaxed all over.

 It closed its eyes with enjoyment and murmured softly:

 “Gulu…” (What a strange person…zzZ)

As he said that, Gu Jianwo just fell asleep.

 Ancient Ding Deer, Ancient Jade Fish: “…”

This old guy really still looks like that!

Not far away, King Lei Guan looked at the three new Pokémon who had joined the ranch with interest.

The keen and intelligent Ancient Jade Fish noticed a gaze. It turned its head, and its eyes met the unfamiliar Pokémon in mid-air.

That is a Pokémon that looks like it has a big head.

His whole body is exuding a soft light blue halo, and his whole body is floating gently in mid-air, looking at them with his eyes full of wisdom and love.

Gudinglu also turned his head and looked at King Lei Guan.

 “Moo?” (䱱是?)

King Lei Guan cast his eyes on the Pokémon with the big cauldron on its head, and the next second, his majestic voice sounded from the minds of Ancient Cauldron Deer and Ancient Jade Fish.

 “I am the King of Lei Guan.”

   *

 Yggdrasil, the realm of the earth.

Red-red magma flowed rapidly on the earth. The energy of Groudon's veins surged, turning into a cliff sword and attacking the bear apprentice.

Disciple Xiong’s expression was determined, and there was no trace of fear on his young face.

Its eyes were fixed on Groudon in the distance, and then it took the initiative to rush out in that direction.

 “Boom!”

The earth is trembling and cracking. The Cliff Sword has not yet arrived, but the cracks have spread to the feet of Disciple Xiong.

Seeing that the crack was about to swallow the apprentice bear into it, the apprentice bear jumped up suddenly, stepped on the stone wall next to it, and started to fly over the wall!

The Cliff Sword was approaching fiercely. Disciple Xiong clenched his fist and took the initiative to face it.

There was a violent explosion, and Disciple Xiong's body flew out from it, falling to the ground covered with scars.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Zhi Shu then stepped forward and used the power of Chang Pan to help apprentice Xiong heal his injuries.

Feeling the warm power in his body, Disciple Xiong was very surprised: "Huh?"

Zhi Shu smiled and said: "I just came back for a while, so let's go here today! We will continue tomorrow."

 “Yeah!” Disciple Xiong nodded repeatedly. Seeing this, Groudon put away his offensive. He glanced at Naoki, then turned around and walked towards the direction of the volcano.

Looking at the direction Groudon left, Naoki smiled, then lowered his head and said to the bear apprentice: "Let's go too!"

 “Bah!”

 One person and one Pokémon left the World Tree and returned to the pasture.

Huluton and Motorized Lizard were already waiting for him at the door.

Zhishu glanced in the direction of Ancient Cauldron Deer, Ancient Jade Fish and Ancient Snail Snail, then reached out and touched the heads of several Pokémon:

"Okay, I'll prepare dinner first, and you guys can play by yourself first."

 “Gah!”

 “Ah gah!”

 “Bah!”

For today’s dinner, Zhi Shu took out the bacon from the storage room and made a home-cooked dish of bacon-fried bamboo shoots together with the bamboo shoots that Disciple Xiong had given him before.

　　The effect produced by putting these two different ingredients together is unexpectedly good.

 The fragrance of bamboo shoots blends perfectly with the unique aroma of bacon, which highlights the rich smell of bacon, making every bite full of deliciousness.

Just smelling it makes people drool.

 Zhi Shu put the fried vegetables on the plate and glanced at the effect of the dish.

Stir-fried Bamboo Shoots with Bacon (B): A home-cooked dish made with bamboo shoots and bacon given by Disciple Xiong. After stir-frying over high heat, the flavors of bamboo shoots and bacon are perfectly blended together.

Cooking effect: Bear's treasure greatly improves the friendliness of panda Pokémon. After eating it, the panda Pokémon will be satisfied and enter an ecstatic state, which lasts for 5 hours. This effect is only effective for panda Pokémon. .

Haunted: A special state. In this state, the Pokémon will occasionally have whims, and its comprehension ability will increase greatly. At the same time, its memory will decrease slightly.

 Evaluation: For lovers, it is a rare delicacy. 】

 Ecstasy? Naoki was a little surprised.

 Comprehension ability will be greatly improved, but memory will be slightly reduced... If the two cancel each other out, it can still bring some improvement to Pokémon's understanding.

 But the problem is that the effect of this dish seems to only be effective on panda-type Pokémon.

 Is Disciple Bear considered a panda?

After some thought, Naoki decided to let Apprentice Xiong give it a try later. After all, Apprentice Xiong’s name also has the word "bear" in it.

 In addition to frying bamboo shoots with bacon, Zhi Shu also steamed a pot of rice with bacon.

Soon, the unique fragrance floated out along the air and into the pasture.

 After a while, a group of Pokémon playing outside were attracted by the smell.

 Guluton, Motorized Lizard, Fluttering Wings, Kuailong…

 They gathered around the kitchen one after another, eager to taste the food that smelled like that.

Seeing this scene, Naoki said funnyly: "Is it that fragrant?"

The pieces of bacon were dried and cured into bacon because he bought too much meat before and was afraid it would spoil.

 I didn’t expect this thing to be so popular among Pokémon.

 “Ouch!”

Kailuilong nodded his big head repeatedly, and his mind had already imagined how delicious the meat that exuded that strange aroma would taste.

 Gulleton and Motorized Lizard on the side also nodded.

 “Ah gah!”

Seeing this, Zhi Shu took out a few pieces of bacon and fed them to the Pokémon in front of him one by one.

 The cured bacon is fat and lean. After being stir-fried over high heat, the color of the meat becomes golden and smooth, which is very attractive.

As soon as the bacon entered their mouths, several Pokémon felt a strange salty aroma combined with the aroma of meat melting in their mouths. It tasted soft and chewy, not greasy or greasy.

"Dream!"

Zhu Yifa's eyes suddenly lit up.

 It likes this food!

Hence, Zhan Yifa swallowed the meat in his mouth into his stomach, and then immediately looked into the pot impatiently.

“Don’t worry, there’s still a lot at home, so just eat more if you like.” Naoki said with a smile.

 At worst, he would buy more fresh meat and marinate it into bacon.

Hearing this, Kuailong happily hugged Naoki.

“Okay, okay, let go and get ready. Dinner will be served soon!” Zhi Shu patted Kuailong’s big, fat paw.

Hearing this, several Pokémon immediately ran to the dining table and sat down obediently, waiting for the meal to be served.

The two brothers and sisters, the nosy waiters, helped Naoki put dinner on the table.

Zhi Shu specially placed the portion of fried bamboo shoots with bacon in front of Disciple Xiong: "Try it?"

 “Huh?”

 Apprentice Xiong then lowered his head and gave it a try.

 The next second, an expression of surprise appeared on its face, and then it started to feast.

 It's just that what interests Disciple Xiong is not bamboo shoots, but bacon...

"Apprentice Bear is really not a panda..." It's a pity, otherwise I could have helped apprentice Bear reach a higher level.

Seeing that Apprentice Xiong also liked to eat it, Naoki said: "Eat it. I will go to the town tomorrow to see if there is anyone selling fresh bamboo shoots. Then I will buy it back for you to continue making this dish."

 “Bah!” Disciple Xiong looked very happy.

   *

 Early the next morning, after breakfast, Naoki sent Disciple Bear to practice on the World Tree.

 Then, he rode Guluton and embarked on the road to conquer the ancient sword leopard.

 In the pasture, Gu Ding Deer, Gu Jade Fish and Gu Jian Snail looked at the direction Gu Ledun left.

Gudinglu: "Moo." (It seems we will be able to meet that guy Gujianbao soon.)

 Ancient Jade Fish: "Guyu..." (I haven't seen it for a long time, I don't know what it has become now...)

“Moo!” (Don’t worry, Naoki will definitely find it, and the four of us will be reunited by then. I’m looking forward to that moment!)

The ancient jade fish was floating in the big cauldron of the ancient tripod deer. It thought of the ancient bamboo slips and snails that had been silent, and asked:

 “Gulu?”

 The ancient slip snail was bathed in the morning light, enjoying this moment quite comfortably.

A long time ago, before they were swallowed up by the power of disaster, they liked to stay on the grass and bask in the sun from morning to night.

This kind of life is so comfortable!

What? Ancient Jade Fish and Ancient Cauldron Deer seem to be talking about Ancient Sword Leopard?

 Gu Jianwo reacted slowly.

 “Gurgling.” (Don’t worry, since the old man is fine, the Ancient Sword Leopard will definitely be fine too. Now, the old man has to have a good sleep, hawu...zzZ.)

Gu Jianwo's voice gradually became lower, but at the end, he actually yawned, lowered his head and fell into sleep.

  Ancient jade fish: “…”

 It should have known this would be the case.

Gudinglu looked at this scene with a smile: "Moo!" (This old guy is still the same!)
