Early in the morning, feeling the moist and refreshing air, Aoki jumped down from a big tree and landed firmly on the dewy grass.
As he stretched, the sound of bones colliding could be heard from his body.
Following Aoki's movements, the elves also came down from the tree one by one.
This forest was still a bit different from the forest outside Manjin City. First of all, the elves here were generally of a higher level. To be safe, Aoki and the others slept in the tree last night.
And in his heart, Aoki kept thinking about the dark shadow that watched him yesterday. Although it didn't appear for a whole night, he couldn't completely relax.
After a good sleep, he was full of energy.
After a day of hurrying, the Ice Mountain, which originally felt a little distant, finally seemed to be almost there today.
Through the dense leaves in the forest, they could already see some of the larger stones and lines on the mountain.
But at the same time, the temperature in the air also dropped as they got closer to the iceberg.
After eating breakfast, they set off again.
Because the elves in the forest were generally of a higher level, Aoki and the others didn't travel very fast.
Moreover, there was a clear division of territory in this forest. Some powerful elves occupied a territory, while others occupied a territory because of the strength of the group.
But there was one thing in common: they were very xenophobic.
Powerful elves were fine, but if the territory was too big, they couldn't care less. As long as Aoki was careful, he could always avoid them. Even if he couldn't, he could escape smoothly.
But the territory of the group was more troublesome because they often had a large number of elves. They could take care of every place in the territory. If they accidentally stepped in, they might be ruthlessly expelled or even hunted down.
What gave Aoki a headache was the Bumblebees.
Although the Bumblebees were elves in the Guandong area, there were also many in the Chengdu area. It was just that compared to the Guandong area, they were not as rampant.
But as long as there was one in a forest, the population would grow crazily.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many natural enemies, Aoki felt that with the reproduction speed of the Bumblebees, they could definitely rule the elven world.
Fortunately, there were quite a few natural enemies.
During the Unicorn Beetle period, it often became one of the main foods of Bobo and Fierce Sparrows. After evolving into Big Stingers, Circle Bear and other sprites used their honey as food, and many flying sprites also ate them.
Even so, they were still one of the largest tribes in the forest.
Just a moment ago, Aoki, who had strayed into the Bumblebee's territory, was chased out by them. The sheer number of Bumblebees made Aoki's scalp tingle.
The Bumblebee colony here was much larger than the one Aoki had encountered on the trial island, and their levels were much higher as well.
After the Dark Crow and the others joined forces to kill the horde of hornets, they completely angered the entire horde. That was why they were chased out.
"Huff … Huff …" After completely shaking off all the Giant Hornets, even with Aoki's current physical fitness, he was a little out of breath.
"Milu ~" Big Milk Can delivered a cup of fresh milk at the right time.
After catching his breath, he forced a smile and patted the head of the milk jug gratefully. As a result, he drank all the milk in one go.
After drinking a cup of milk, he felt that his strength had recovered.
He wiped off the milk stains on his mouth and was about to speak when he suddenly felt the familiar feeling of being watched again!
This time, the feeling was even more obvious. It was obvious that the shadow in the dark was getting closer and closer to them.
"It seems like, if I'm not mistaken, that thing, is looking at this?" Aoki looked at the cup in his hand. It was the cup of milk that he had just finished.
In order to verify his guess, Aoki took out a spare bottle of milk from his ring. The gaze immediately moved from the empty cup to the milk that he had just taken out.
Then he remembered that the first time he was being watched, after the battle with the two Rocket Team soldiers, Big Milk Can had given Dark Crow and the others milk to replenish their strength.
The second time he felt that he was being watched was when Dark Crow and the others couldn't beat Big Boss Cat. They relied on Big Milk Can to replenish their strength and won.
After combining all three times, Aoki found the reason.
"That thing's attention is on the milk?" Aoki felt that it was a little strange.
He couldn't rule out the fact that Big Milk Can was indeed very attractive. However, there was no need to secretly watch him like this. It made Aoki think that some malicious creature had its eyes on him.
Since he knew that the target wasn't on him, Aoki also let out a slight sigh of relief.
Putting the glass bottle full of milk on the ground, Aoki signaled Dark Crow and the others to not do anything out of the ordinary.
Then, he slowly led the elves away, leaving only the bottle of milk on the ground.
.....
Ten minutes later, a bottle of milk was on the ground in the forest. Aoki led Dark Crow and the others to stand on a big tree far away, using the dense leaves to hide their bodies.
This bottle of milk had been on the ground for ten minutes, but the mysterious shadow still hadn't appeared. Just as Aoki was about to give up, there was a change.
Almost in the blink of an eye, a shadow landed from a tree near the grass. Then, without pausing, it picked up the bottle of milk on the ground and disappeared in a flash.
"This is?!" Aoki looked closely in that direction. Although the shadow was very fast, he still saw something else.
He vaguely saw a touch of red on the shadow, and a faint white light.
However, the shadow's back was facing him, and it was too fast for Aoki to see clearly.
"Dark Crow, chase after it and take a look!" Aoki said.
Since he couldn't see clearly, he would chase after it and see what it was that made it so obsessed with Big Milk Can.
Hearing Aoki's order, Dark Crow didn't hesitate to flap its wings and fly in the direction where the shadow disappeared.
Aoki, Dazed Beast, Milk Can, and the others followed behind.
This was the forest, so he couldn't focus on chasing. He also had to be on guard against wild elves that might suddenly appear and attack him.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but the direction in which the black shadow disappeared was in the direction of the ice mountain.
Half an hour later, Aoki, who couldn't run anymore, rested by a small lake.
He had run so intensely twice in a day that he couldn't take it anymore. Even if he drank a large bottle of milk, it didn't have much of an effect. His body had reached its limit.
"Caw ~ ~"
Not long after, Dark Crow returned. It was embarrassed to use its wings to describe its speed. The shadow was very fast, and it knew the terrain very well. It lost track of it.
"It doesn't matter. He cares about the milk in the milk jar, so he'll probably come again. I think I can guess what he is, or what kind of elves he knows." Aoki calmed down and comforted him.
