Two days passed in the blink of an eye as Aoki and the Dark Crow busied themselves.
The man and the sprite spent the past two days very comfortably. Their lives were dull, yet full of tension.
If one were to talk about changes, the biggest one would be his appearance. After eating the Yellow Fruit Energy Cube for an entire week, the Dark Crow finally climbed out of the pit that was its body. Although it didn't know if it had reached the highest level it should have, the Dark Crow was very satisfied.
Originally, it wasn't even the size of a normal Dark Crow. Now, it was 60 centimeters tall, which was 10 centimeters larger than a normal Dark Crow. Its black feathers were tightly clung to its body. Even the fluff on each feather was black and shiny. This made its streamlined body fly faster in the air. Its powerful wings reflected an explosive force. It had been training its wings every day. Now, it could perfectly use the Wind skill. It had even touched the threshold of the more advanced Storm skill.
Although its body had grown bigger and heavier, its speed had not decreased. Instead, it had become faster. It could be said that its attack and speed had increased to different degrees.
Although Aoki's changes weren't as obvious as the Dark Crow's, it could be seen that he was more energetic. The muscles on his body were also gradually bulging. When the Dark Crow was training every day, he didn't fall behind. Although his clothes were still ragged, his bright eyes were bright and full of vigor.
Even the originally simple Supersonic Bat cave looked brand new. The cold ground was covered with soft straw and leaves. There were two wooden shelves by the wall. They were filled with herbs and fruits. Aoki picked them every time he went out. A simple small bed was placed on the ground. It was covered with the fur of an unknown animal.
"Dark Crow, the effects of the Yellow Fruit Energy Cube have been fully displayed. Moreover, the cycle is over. Continuing to eat won't have much of an effect. Next, you can eat the Blackspeed Energy Cube that you've been thinking about." Aoki looked at the Dark Crow, who was combing its feathers, and said with a smile.
Hearing Aoki mention the Black Speed Energy Cube, the Dark Crow immediately stopped moving. Recalling the smell from last time, it subconsciously gulped and stared at Aoki.
Aoki smiled helplessly at the sight of the Dark Crows' gluttonous looks. He took out the Black Speed Energy Cube that he had been working on for many days and placed it in a bowl specially made for the Dark Crows' food.
"You can eat as much as you want in the future. You can eat until you are full." Unlike the Yellow Fruit Energy Cube, the Black Speed Energy Cube could subtly help the little sprite improve. It contained a large amount of evil and flying energy. The more it ate, the more it could absorb. He believed that the Dark Crows would grow together with this energy cube for a very long time.
In fact, as an intermediate energy cube, it contained a lot of energy. The Dark Crow, who usually ate a lot of fish, felt full after eating a few energy cubes.
The Dark Crow smacked its lips as it recalled the perfect taste. If it weren't for the fact that it was already full, it would really want to eat more.
While the Dark Crow was enjoying its lunch, Aoki also hastily finished his own lunch.
In the afternoon, it was time to fight and explore the forest. The Rocket Team's base was in the west, so there was no need to explore the west. In the past two days, Aoki and the Dark Crow had been exploring the forest in the east. They had met a lot of different sprites and learned about the several sprite groups in the east. They were the Fierce Sparrow group eight kilometers away and the Bobo group fifteen kilometers away. These two groups were mortal enemies and often fought with each other. However, because of their large numbers, Aoki didn't dare to provoke them. The Fierce Sparrow group had a Level 22 Largemouth Sparrow, and the Bobo group had two Level 21 Bibi Bird couple, so the strength of the two groups was very close.
Today's goal was to explore the south, so he brought the Dark Crow with him.
With the current size of the Dark Crow, it really couldn't fit on Aoki's shoulder, so the Dark Crow was now hovering above Aoki's head while paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Aoki didn't know the specific size of the trial island, but it should be very big. After coming out of the Rocket Team's base for so many days, he hadn't met a single person. Although not everyone would stay outside all the time, for example, the first place of the first test, Gaga, would only go out to explore the forest during the day and return to the base before the sun set at night.
However, this situation might change today. After walking three kilometers to the south of Aoki, they met three trial takers who had formed a team to explore. They were sitting around a tree and resting.
The first to discover them was the Dark Crow. After telling Aoki, they quietly approached the three people.
The three people sat together and seemed to be discussing something. The sprites of the three people were also beside them. Among the three people, the fat man in the middle seemed to be the leader. His sprite was a gas bomb. There was also a very short sprite, a walking grass. There was also a very ordinary looking sprite, wearing a green T-shirt. His sprite was a supersonic bat.
"Brother Fatty, are we going in the right direction?" the shortest of the three asked.
The fat man in the lead glanced at the short man and pursed his lips. "What? You don't believe Lord Fatty?" He looked at the short man with disdain. Sprites like walking grass had almost no combat power at low levels. Even in this forest, they could be seen everywhere.
"No, no, Brother Fatty, look at what you're saying. How can we not believe you? You're the expert who ranked tenth in the first test, "the other young man in green hurriedly said.
The fat man was clearly satisfied with the young man in green who could talk. Moreover, this flattery was clearly what he wanted. It could be seen from the corner of his mouth that couldn't help but curl up.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that my gas bomb isn't good at this kind of direct attack, Lord Fatty's ranking would definitely be much higher," the fat man said. Although he wasn't convinced, his tone had clearly softened.
"That's right, that's right. With Brother Fatty's strength, you'll definitely be able to enter the top three," the short man obviously realized that his words weren't right, so he hurriedly flattered the fat man.
He had been assigned to the Walking Grass. Although the Walking Grass was relatively gentle and did not encounter any difficulties in subduing it, it was obvious that the Walking Grass was indeed a relatively weak Sprite. In addition, this was the first time he had come into contact with a Sprite. He did not know how to cultivate it at all. If he could find a backer, he would be able to go further in this trial.
Looking at the short man who was gradually getting on the right path, the fat man called Brother Fatty nodded in satisfaction. Although the short man's strength wasn't much, he was obedient. That was why the fat man had agreed to let him follow him. After pausing for a moment, he said, "This is the treasure map that I exchanged for from the exchange center of the base. Although the map doesn't cover a large area, it's very clear about the surrounding small elves' tribes. The sprites we encountered before were marked on the map, so there's no problem with our direction. "
As the tenth place of the first test, the fat man exchanged for a treasure map, which just happened to use up all of his points.
Not everyone had their own plans like Aoki and knew what they and their sprites needed in the next period of time. Therefore, the Rocket Team put a lot of treasure maps in the exchange center. Some were real, some were fake, and the price was different. There were many people like the fat man who exchanged for a treasure map to try their luck.
Obviously, the fat man in front of him was one of those people who was prepared to gamble.
