Sure enough, as Aoki expected, when he led the elves into the innermost part of the Hornet colony, they encountered the Hornet Leader with the strength of a senior Heavenly King, as well as a large number of ordinary Hornets and many Hornet Leaders with the strength of a Heavenly King.
According to Aoki's original personality, he would definitely summon some more powerful elves to deal with the other party as quickly as possible and save himself some time.
But now, Aoki's mentality and thoughts had changed. He still hoped that Bao Feilong, Chanai Duo, Lucario, and Miaogua would be able to deal with all these Hornets. He would rather the pace of the battle be slightly slower, and he could even accept the elves being injured to a certain extent.
An unpolished jade would not be useful. No matter how good the elves' aptitude was, no matter how good the elves' talent was, without the tempering of battle, it would not be enough.
Bao Feilong and Chanai Duo also had the strength of a senior Heavenly King. They were not at a disadvantage when facing the Hornet Leader. As long as they displayed their normal strength under Aoki's command, it would not be too difficult to deal with this colony of Hornets.
Of course, this idea was very good, but sometimes things would not go as smoothly as planned.
A high intensity battle faced high risk. In the beginning, the four elves fought in an orderly manner under Aoki's command. The Hornets could not do anything to them, but as time went on, the elves' mental and physical strength would be lacking. And after a long battle, it was inevitable that they would be injured.
At this time, it was time to test whether an elf was qualified or not.
Some elves began to drop the ball. It was not that they deliberately dropped the ball, but mainly because they had not experienced such a long and difficult battle. The Hornets were poisonous elves. After being poisoned, their bodies would sometimes be out of control to a certain extent, so it was inevitable that a vicious cycle would occur, and they would be injured on top of their injuries.
Among them, Bao Feilong's willpower was the strongest. Even if he was injured, his fighting strength did not decrease.
From this, one could see the strength of an elf. One could not only look at the strength displayed on the surface, but also the character of an elf, and a large number of other qualities that they had inside.
So sometimes, there would be a phenomenon of the weak defeating the strong. That was because the strength of some elves could not be seen from their inner character.
In this battle with the Hornet colony, the reason why Aoki did not summon any more elves was to let them expose their inner weakness at this time. This way, he would be able to deal with the problem and find a suitable solution.
Sometimes, the power of an example was very powerful. Bao Feilong's tenacity and unyielding will to fight had successfully inspired Lucario, Chanai Duo, and Miaogua.
As the saying went, 'one is marked by the company one keeps'. Berserk Dragon had successfully influenced Lucario and the others, making them understand what kind of state they should be in when facing a stalemate and difficult battle.
Inside, and, and Feilong ''s, and Feilong' '''s's. and's. and Feilong '.
Only the heavy breathing of Bao Feilong, Lucario, and the others could be heard. Clearly, the fierce battle had made them a little breathless.
Aoki was squatting beside them. He took out some special potions and healing sprays from his backpack and treated the injuries on Lucario and Miaogua's' and the others.
Just one battle was enough to make Lucario and Miaogua feel a great change in their eyes and bodies.
Although the battle was difficult and such a battle consumed a lot of Aoki's resources, it was all worth it as long as the elves could grow.
Moreover, Aoki was an advanced trainer. In a continent rich in resources, would he be afraid of such a small loss?
"Lucario —" Under Aoki's care, Lucario lowered his head in embarrassment.
Aoki smiled and looked at Lucario who was sitting on the ground in shame. He couldn't help but pat Lucario's head and feel the short hair on his head.
"You haven't experienced many battles. Although your master Flamingo imparted a lot of knowledge and combat skills to you, he learned them through actual combat. They might not be suitable for you. You must know that when your master Flamingo was young, he cried during his first battle. Compared to him, what you're experiencing now is nothing."
Although Aoki said that the fire chicken was crying, that was when he was injured in his first battle. This wasn't Lucario's first time participating in a battle, but it was his first time participating in such a difficult and injury-prone battle.
Lucario looked at Aoki in disbelief after hearing Aoki's words. His eyes seemed to be asking, "Really?"
In Lucario's mind, his master Flamingo was always an energetic and battle-loving Elf. He was very strict in his training. He didn't expect that there would be a time when Flamingo cried.
Aoki nodded with a smile. He could only apologize to Flamingo in his heart for exposing his shortcomings in front of his disciple. However, he believed that Flamingo would understand his thoughts.
Lucario's determination grew stronger after seeing Aoki's nod.
Lucario wasn't an Elf who was afraid of battles. It was just that his childhood and the environment that Aoki had given him made him come into contact with battles too late. Fortunately, as an Elf who had the power of Wave Guide, he was very strong both in terms of physique and growth.
"So, do your best. It's not a dream to catch up to your master. You have the potential to do so." Aoki gave Lucario one last encouragement.
"Lucario!" Lucario expressed his eagerness for that moment to come.
Apart from Lucario, Chanaido and Miaogua also accepted Aoki's consolation. These Elves had either been by Aoki's side since birth and received meticulous care, or followed Aoki from a very young age and hadn't participated in any battles before.
In short, they lacked the combat experience of difficult battles.
Only Berserk Wyvern wasn't worried about Aoki. Berserk Wyvern's mental fortitude could be ranked in the top three among all of Aoki's Elves.
After dealing with Lucario's injuries and their inner frustrations, Aoki finally had the time to investigate the situation in the forest where the Bumblebee colony was located.
Ordinary Elves couldn't enter this place at all, so many resources were preserved very well. Collecting these things took Aoki a lot of time.
However, he paid the most attention to the largest beehive on the tree in the middle. There must be a lot of wild honey in it!
