I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Come back, Big Jaw Ant! Xiaoshui, let's jump right in!"

Li Ran sprinted with all his strength and saw a emerald green lake. He took back the big-jawed ant that couldn't swim, shouted loudly, and jumped in with Xiao Shui.

Even in summer, the lake in the forest was still freezing cold. Li Ran covered his mouth and nose tightly, staring at the movements of the giant hornets above. He felt secretly happy to see them getting angry because they couldn't do anything about him. After seeing them leave, Li Ran persisted for nearly ten minutes before coming out of the water and taking a breath of fresh air.

"If I were in the previous world, I could apply for a record, right?"

No wonder Xiaozhi has the title of super rookie. Although the humans here don’t look much different in appearance, their physical fitness is absolutely top-notch.

Li Ran climbed up to the shore and carefully observed the lake. If it was an ordinary forest, Li Ran would not have any suspicion at all, but the lake in front of him had a piece of land in the center, and it was surrounded by thick fog, making it impossible to see the mystery.

"Would you like to go over and take a look?"

Li Ran was conflicted at this moment. Curiosity drove him, but a voice in his heart warned him that he was only here to catch elves and there was no need to take risks.

"Click!"

"You said there was something attracting you over there?"

After being together for such a long time, Li Ran gradually understood Xiao Shui's thoughts. The excitement shown by Xiao Shui at this time also made Li Ran curious.

How about going to have a look?

This thought was infinitely magnified in his mind, even overshadowing his fear. He patted Xiaoshui lightly on the back, and both he and his pet jumped directly in.

The elves in the water sensed the strange breath and retreated.

As he approached, the small piece of land became clearer. After he came ashore, it was not much different from the surrounding areas. It was covered with emerald green weeds, with only a stone tablet entangled with vines and a sense of age.

After carefully pushing aside the vines, Li Ran could not recognize the words revealed on the cracked stone tablet at all. This was not any of the characters they knew, which meant that it might have been left over from ancient times.

There was a pattern engraved at the very bottom of the stone tablet. Due to the passage of time, the shape had become very faint and almost invisible. However, as a person from another world, Li Ran first used an atlas to take a picture of the entire stone tablet. From the picture, he could still vaguely recognize its identity from its approximate outline.

"Suicune?"

Li Ran's voice was like a thunderbolt. As soon as he finished speaking, the elves in the lake began to riot, causing waves on the water. Li Ran felt that they were holding some kind of ceremony, or as if they were welcoming something.

His visibility was constantly decreasing, and the thick fog around him was growing beyond his imagination. Li Ran realized something was wrong and wanted to take Xiaoshui away, but he found that Xiaoshui was gone.

"Crack, click, click."

"Xiao Shui?"

Li Ran walked towards the sound of stone friction. He relaxed a little when he walked around the stone tablet and saw the familiar figure. At this time, Xiao Shui was holding something and putting it into his mouth. He looked at it carefully and snatched it from its hand.

"You loser, you eat the Water Stone as a snack?"

The crystal clear diamond-shaped crystal was flashing a light blue fluorescence in the center. Li Ran could even feel the energy fluctuations emanating from it. If this wasn't the Water Stone, then what else could it be?

You have to know that in this world, this kind of material is extremely rare. Li Ran also learned that this kind of stone is not only expensive, but also desired by trainers because it can bring considerable benefits to Pokémon with the same attributes. This is why the research institute still lacks knowledge about the evolution of Pokémon. It's not that they can't afford it, but it's not enough for them to try it on every Pokémon, so they have to rely on the power of trainers to improve it.

Li Ran looked around and found that there were nearly a hundred water stones rooted here. Feeling a little embarrassed, he returned the half-eaten water stone to Xiaoshui.

"Please forgive me. I'll give you a big meal when I get home!"

"Click!"

Xiaoshui took the Water Stone, puffed up her cheeks angrily, turned her head to the side, and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"It is probably because of Suicune that the water energy here is too dense, which is why these water stones were derived."

While Li Ran was analyzing, he started to stuff the Water Stone into his backpack. This one stone was worth 500,000.

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet. Li Ran, who was insisting on digging the Water Stone, felt Xiao Shui pulling his clothes. He threw a Water Stone behind him without even turning his head.

"I'll give you another one!"

......

Xiaoshui picked up the Water Stone speechlessly. She was still very interested in it. She put the Water Stone in her mouth and continued to pull at the corner of Li Ran's clothes.

"You finished another one so soon?"

Li Ran turned his head in surprise, thinking that the little guy was eating too fast. Following the direction Xiaoshui pointed, he was stunned holding a water stone.

The elegant figure on the water is blue with white block patterns, a blue gem-like headdress and two white ribbon-like tails. It is surrounded by many water elves under its feet, and seems to be enjoying the blessings brought by Suicune.

"Sui-kun-kun?"

Li Ran swallowed nervously at first, but finally gritted his teeth and stuffed the water stone in his hand into his backpack.

Xiaoshui was also stunned. His master was a real tiger. The fluctuations of the water energy of the elf in front of him made him feel scared. And you actually put it into your bag!

"Human, do you know me?"

Blue ripples appeared under Suicune's feet and a strange voice inexplicably rang in Li Ran's ears. This was the basic way for a mythical beast to communicate with humans, even if it was just a second-level god.

"Meet the god who has the power to purify water."

Li Ran flattered him openly. At this moment, only by making Suicune happy could he avoid danger to his life.

"What's the matter with you calling me?"

He was brainstorming, thinking that he must have accidentally removed the vines from the stone tablet and summoned it by accident. Li Ran took the opportunity to continue the topic.

"The elves here miss you. I am one of their representatives!"

(* ￣︶￣)

Xiao Shui looked at the shameless Li Ran, and his little heart was also shocked. He learned another trick! So he stood beside Li Ran and raised his little head to look at Shui Jun.

Although Suicune knew that Li Ran was suspected of lying, the elves in the lake showed an emotion of longing. It has indeed been a long time since it came back here, and the water quality has become much dirtier. Thinking of this, it, who has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, lightly tapped the water surface with its front foot, and the water energy spread, and the water surface became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the elves in the lake swam more happily.
