Chapter 503: Proliferating Peat Blocks (5k)
October 22 morning.
The large number of fences ordered by Luo Mu were delivered to the farm one after another, and the farm area was simply enclosed with fences.
These fences did not play a blocking role. After all, if wild Pokémon wanted to break in, I am afraid that this kind of wooden fence could not stop most wild Pokémon. It was just a "psychological comfort" or another form of "enclosing the territory".
The real responsible for the security of the farm were the steel armored jays and blue jays working in the sky, as well as the Roentgen cats, wind speed dogs, mahua dogs and the newly joined Houndoo who often patrolled around the farm.
Shortly after the report was submitted, the Padiya Alliance sent a commissioner to investigate the expanded farm. The other party did not just do superficial work because of Luo Mu's identity, but really checked one by one, and only stamped the document after confirming that everything was properly settled.
This also means that the large area of land that includes the hill behind the farm and expands to the creek has been included in the scope of the farm and is left for Luo Mu to develop.
But before development, there are still many things to deal with.
Today the weather has become a little brighter, and the temperature has quietly risen. The sun shines gently on the body, dispelling the chill brought by the cold wind.
Wearing a straw hat, Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat came to the farming area first, and their eyes fell on the trunks of three fruit trees that have grown a lot taller, about two meters tall.
Two months have passed. Under the careful care of Hualiao Huanhuan and Bai Pengpeng, the three special fruit trees of the gold and silver series have also grown to this point.
According to the detailed planting manual given by the Quartz Plateau, it takes nearly a year to grow to this point, even with the intervention of grass-attribute Pokémon.
Being able to shorten the time to two months, it can only be said that the gold content of Professor Tapu Moo's "cultivated land" and "composite green grass field" is still rising.
Even if there is no real Tapu Moo, or a powerful Bud Crown, it can grow from a sapling to a towering tree in a few breaths and bear abundant fruits.
Such a speed is enough.
Moreover, it is done by the Pokémon on the farm through their own hard work, which is even more meaningful.
His fingertips gently stroked the slightly rough bark of the trunk, and Luo Mu thought that after the fruit is produced, not only the Roentgen cat, but also everyone should taste it.
When the eyes met with the Roentgen cat, the man and the cat smiled at each other.
In this regard, their ideas are undoubtedly synchronized.
Luo Mu originally planned to go with the Roentgen cat to find the Hermoon Bear, but before leaving the old orchard in the farming area, the movement inside suddenly attracted their attention.
Tropical Dragon, Huhu Brother and Sister, and Fengmi Dragon should all be in the new orchard. Now is the rest time for Hualiao Huanhuan and Baipengpeng. Zhihuixing just said that he must use sand to bathe the heavy mud horse and the three hamsters today.
Who would be in the old orchard at this time?
Wild flying Pokémon?
Steel Armored Crow or Blue Jay who stole from the company?
It seems unlikely.
Without further entanglement, Luo Mu simply chose to go over to find out.
Roentgen Cat also slowed down and followed directly.
Although he knew who it was through the smell, it did not mean to remind Luo Mu.
Walking behind a fruit tree that could already block him, Luo Mu looked forward and was stunned.
This area of fruit trees was the first batch of fruit trees planted when the farm was just starting.
Among them, the inexpensive peach fruit trees accounted for most of them.
Among the peach trees, Erguiyan was staring at the peaches on the peach trees, which were "out of reach" for him, and seemed to be thinking about something.
But Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat were behind him and couldn't see Erguiyan's expression.
A question also popped up in Luo Mu's mind after he saw Erguiyan.
What was Erguiyan staring at the peach trees?
Was he greedy?
He wasn't hungry, and even Frost Milk Fairy had made fruit desserts several times. Erguiyan wouldn't sneak into the old orchard to eat the peaches on the trees.
Perhaps out of curiosity, Luo Mu subconsciously slowed down his breathing and waited for Erguiyan's next move.
Roentgen Cat stared at the appearance of the peach fruit thoughtfully, and also didn't say anything.
After a while.
Erguiyan moved.
Even though he was short, his movements were very agile.
After stepping on the tree trunk with wooden clogs several times, Erguiyan swiftly came to a branch of the peach fruit tree and picked a peach fruit.
This operation made up for the innate deficiency.
After picking the peach fruit, Erguiyan stared at the peach fruit in silence for a while. With a slight effort of his little hand, the characteristics of the powerful physical attack of 120 racial value were revealed, and the peach fruit was directly broken into two halves by his bare hands.
Staring at the peach fruit that was broken into two halves, Erguiyan's expression suddenly changed as if he thought of something.
Because it was facing Luo Mu this time, Luo Mu saw the change in Erguiyan's expression clearly.
That kind of expression, no, the disgust from the heart cannot be faked.
Erguiyan stared at the peach fruit that was broken into two halves with disgust for a long time, and originally wanted to throw it on the ground and crush it with one foot.
But it also thought of Luo Mu's advice "Don't waste food", and remembered that these peaches and peaches were taken care of by Huazhuan Huanhuan, Bai Pengpeng, Heavy Mud Wanma, Hackron, and Mosquito-repellent Frog King with their hard work.
Ergui hesitated for a while, hesitated for a long time on whether to throw it or not, and finally slowly withdrew his hand.
"Bonnie!"
He stared at the peach fruit that was split into two halves with his mouth flat, swallowed the peach fruit in a few mouthfuls while holding back his disgust, and left the old orchard angrily.
Luo Mu & Roentgen Cat: "."
One person and one cat looked at each other, still understanding each other.
They probably know why Ergui's behavior is so weird.
The shape of the peach-shaped peach fruit that is divided into two halves is very similar to the peach-shaped shell of Momojilang!
There was always a feeling in Eguifen's expression that he might as well destroy all the Taotao fruits in order to prevent Tao Tao from resurrecting.
It seems that Ergui will not be allowed to see any complete peach fruit in the future.
This matter needs to be informed by Zhihui Orang and Frost Milk Fairy to avoid stepping on thunder.
As for whether or not to inform the Blue Flame Blade Demon——
Luo Mu's intuition told him that Crimson Blade should be a Pokémon capable of grilling peaches, so he might as well tell him.
When Luo Mu found He Yue Xiong, this guy was not lying in his hole sleeping, but was having a fierce wrestling duel with Meng Lei Gu.
Luo Mu also felt that he had hit a ghost.
These two incomparable guys, one has a physical attack value of 70, and the other has a physical attack value of 73. They are both Pokémon good at energy attacks, but they like to use their huge size to engage in melee combat.
It's quite abstract.
However, Roentgen cats were also forced to play with double swords because of their electric skill pool. As a trainer who trained Roentgen cats, Luo Mu had no position to stop them and just let them serve as a fort.
The battle between the two Pokémon was fierce. Heyue Xiong opened his bow left and right, trying to catch the whip-like long neck of Thunder Drum.
The collision of flesh rumbled, and the ground near the hillside shook slightly.
After a long collision, Meng Lei Gu finally won, overwhelming He Yue Xiong.
Compared to He Yue Xiong who settled down in the permanent forest of Beishang Township and entered into a state of eating and sleeping, Meng Lei Gu was still in the cruel fighting world of "ancient times" not long ago.
Even though their strengths were similar, and they didn't use any moves to attack and relied purely on strength, it was natural that Meng Lei Gu, who was in excellent condition, won the victory.
"Hoo-"
He Yue Xiong sat down on a rock and let out a complaining cry.
It was just careless, and it got to the waist that had not moved much for a long time. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose!
The panting Meng Lei Gu was very happy because he won. He didn't care about He Yue Xiong's attempts to make up for it. He came to the fixed position that had been bald by the sun and lay down directly.
Under the warm sun, it just felt that it was in excellent condition.
It seems to be called "characteristics"?
Luo Mu said that his characteristic "ancient activity" seems to be enhanced when exposed to sunlight, or "sunny days".
No wonder it feels like the blood in its body is boiling slightly every time it basks in the sun, and its mood is extremely high.
Writing "Meow Meow Diary" has become much easier.
He Yuexiong and Meng Lei Gu chatted with each other, asking each other about their past experiences.
In a sense, they are both Pokémon from the past, so they are naturally curious about each other's experiences.
When He Yue Xiong and Meng Lei Gu learned about each other's existence for the first time, similar questions would arise in their minds.
What was the other party's ancient times like? Obviously there is no need to compare the Heyue Bear’s century-old past and the suspected “ultra-ancient” and “Jurassic” period of the Thunder Drum.
As Luo Mu approached from a distance, the two Pokémon with keen senses and wild intuition similar to Xiaozhi raised their heads at the same time and looked at him together.
Thinking that if someone who didn't know them was suddenly stared at by such two pairs of eyes in the wild, Luo Mu would be extremely panicked. His expression did not change, he waved his hand and said, "Hello, Heyue Bear, Meng Lei Gu."
"Meow~"
The Roentgen cat behind him also barked lazily, which he took as a greeting.
The reason why Luo Mu sought out He Yuexiong was not complicated at all.
Later he would go back to the Grape Academy to meet Nemo and the others who had successfully returned to the academy, and he would bring them the three peat blocks he had promised.
Luo Mu checked and found that there is a full moon tonight.
As long as they use peat blocks, all three of their Circle Bears can evolve into "beautifully strong" Moon Bears.
As for the current peat block, after subduing He Yue Bear and taking it back to the farm, the system acted as the Riddler for some reason. Luo Mu, who followed its advice, simply handed it over to He Yue Bear for safekeeping.
He Yuexiong was still a little sad when he suddenly saw the props from his hometown. The big man who looked both fierce and honest was still sad and EMO'd for a few nights before he finally recovered.
Now the peat blocks are carefully stored in the cave. Although Luo Mu can go and get them directly, in order to take care of He Yue Bear's emotions, he still lets him get them.
Hearing Luo Mu say that he wanted to take away three pieces of peat, although He Yuexiong was a little reluctant to give up, he didn't do anything drastic.
After all, that book belonged to Luo Mu and was entrusted to him for safekeeping, not given to him.
It's just that three pieces of peat are missing. I'm afraid the taste of my hometown will be much weaker when I sleep in the future.
The moon bear was a little melancholy.
Watching the figures of Luo Mu, Roentgen cat and the moon bear going away, Meng Lei Gu, who felt like a thorn in his back, breathed a sigh of relief.
Before, the moon bear suddenly came to the door to fight, and Meng Lei Gu, who thought that this stupid big guy couldn't read and was still writing "Meow Meow Diary", simply fought with it directly.
Who knew that Luo Mu chose to come to the door at this time, fortunately the other party didn't go to the hillside to take a look, otherwise it would be bad.
Now let's hurry to destroy the traces.
The "survivor" Meng Lei Gu ran to the hillside with a clatter, and skillfully released lightning to burn the ground.
After a while.
Looking at the bare ground again, Meng Lei Gu nodded with satisfaction.
It's worthy of being this cat!
Outside the moon bear's cave.
Luo Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the peat blocks that were brought out by the moon bear with a distressed expression. He suspected that he had counted wrongly, so he counted again.
"One, two, three, six, ten, eleven, twelve——"
"Twelve?"
Luo Mu's voice was full of obvious doubts. He stared at the peat blocks placed in front of him in confusion, and his brainstorming never stopped.
He thought he remembered it wrong, and even called Zhi Huixing to ask.
As a result, Zhi Huixing also said with certainty that when Luo Mu brought back the peat blocks, there were eleven when he registered them in the warehouse.
Then.
Where did this extra piece come from?
The private money hidden by the moon bear?
Luo Mu glanced at the moon bear, seeing it sitting stiffly on a stone that was not even as big as its buttocks, with a confused and aggrieved look on its face, and he just felt that it was very stupid at this time.
It didn't look like that kind of bear.
Or was it true that the rumor was true.
Plant peat blocks in the soil, and you can harvest a lot of peat blocks next year?
But it's still early next year, how long has the moon bear been at the farm?
Luo Mu, who couldn't figure it out, simply asked the system.
After a while, he was stunned when he got the answer.
So it's true that if you plant peat blocks, you will harvest a bunch of peat blocks next year?
Why is there an extra peat block in the moon bear's cave? It's very unscientific and very precious.
The moon bear chose his cave and chose it near Leiming Lake.
The land near Leiming Lake has some "wet" and "wetland" characteristics because of Leiming Lake, which is very similar to the habitat of the moon bears in the past.
And the peat blocks are props that the moon bears will gradually form when they live in this environment.
Because the peat blocks themselves are also subtly changing the composition of the surrounding soil, and finally because of the unconscious influence of the moon bears' ability to use peat freely, a new peat block will appear like a ghost.
As for the depths of the Honghong Desert, how could there be peat blocks in such a dry place with little water?
For this question, Luo Mu felt that the peat blocks probably had nothing to do with the Honghong Desert, but were brought into the Honghong Desert by some "treasure hunters" in the past and lost for unknown reasons.
With this explanation, everything was made clear.
Luo Mu successfully achieved logical self-consistency, took three peat blocks, and returned the rest to the confused He Yuexiong, saying: "You continue to bury these nine blocks in the original place, and go out with me later."
He Yuexiong nodded blankly, and Luo Mu put the heavy peat blocks into the bag hanging on the back of the Roentgen cat, ready to take them home and put them in the space backpack.
Time passed, and it was seven o'clock in the evening.
As winter approaches, the night comes much earlier than usual.
The temperature was quite warm during the day, but at night, because there was no sunlight, it dropped a lot instantly.
Before going out, Luo Mu quietly put on a baseball uniform that was not used for playing baseball, and then he exhaled white mist and called Moltres to go out.
The reason for not calling Dragonite was that it had already fallen asleep in a warm nest with Dragonite's mother and three Haxorus godmothers. Why wake it up in such a cold weather?
Second, Moltres needed some exercise, and it would be warmer when sitting on it.
After all, Moltres's maximum flying speed was much slower than Dragonite's.
It was about eight o'clock when Luo Mu saw the outline of Zhuotai City, which was relatively close to Pingdie Town.
Compared with the colorful and neon-filled Niangguang City, Zhuotai City at night was less advanced and fashionable, and more warm.
The warm yellow light shone through the windows of every household, full of the warmth of life.
Moltres flew at a very high altitude, and even at night, its extremely conspicuous flames that could not be extinguished were blocked by thick clouds, and did not cause any unexpected commotion.
Luo Mu informed Principal Clavel in advance and landed directly on the playground of Grape Academy.
And Nemo and the others, wrapped up thickly, were already waiting on the playground.
Seeing Luo Mu and Moltres, Nemo's eyes lit up and she ran over.
Papa and Pipa were also unrestrained, trotting past Nemo who was running at full speed and rushed over.
I don't know why Mudan and Shizuka also started running, even though they had just met a few days ago.
Seeing the students so excited, Luo Mu was also a little embarrassed.
Five people, he couldn't hold them in his two hands.
But the facts proved that he thought too much.
Pipa rushed over first, without even glancing at Luo Mu's reserved open arms, and threw herself directly onto Moltres——
And Piper, Nemo, Mudan, and Shizuka also directly surrounded Moltres.
Mudan looked very happy, as if she had come back to life, and sighed: "It's so warm, it's worthy of being the legendary Pokémon Moltres!"
Neemo and Piper even buried their faces in Moltres' feathers, mumbling a few unclear murmurs.
Luo Mu, who was left with his arms open, looked into the eyes of Shinji, who was already trembling slightly from the cold, but still standing there to act cool.
Luo Mu: "."
Shinji: ".A-choo!"
