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

"Is your grandpa really your grandpa?"

Li Ran followed behind Xu Ruhong. At this moment, he had 3kg black iron blocks tied to his arms and ankles. However, he seemed to be used to this kind of weight training and looked very normal.

But Li Ran didn't expect that as soon as he said this, Xu Ruhong's expression changed 180 degrees. He said helplessly with a sad face.

"I originally thought he wasn't my biological grandfather's, but he took me to do a DNA test and it was confirmed that he was my biological grandfather."

"..."

It turns out that you really did a paternity test. You are really a weird pair of grandfather and grandson.

“This is where I usually train.”

Xu Ruhong slowly stopped and stood on a frozen lake. The cold air all around made him want to retreat.

Walking to the center of the ice lake, there is a huge pit, which is about seven or eight meters deep when viewed from above. There are tiny streams of water in a circle like a water curtain. There are also layers of round iron rings on the stone wall, which allow people to climb.

There are many training equipment visible to the naked eye below, including barbells, sandbags, etc.

"Do you want to try it?"

Xu Ruhong showed a few white teeth and pointed to Li Ran at the soil that had sunk into the ground due to the weight.

"No, just cheer for yourself, I'll just watch and cheer you on."

Li Ran looked at the huge difference in muscles between himself and Xu Ruhong, and was afraid that he would fall to the ground because of the weight before he could even lift it.

"what!"

Xu Ruhong grabbed the barbell with both hands, and the moment he exerted force, all the muscles in his body seemed to be activated, full of visual explosiveness.

Li Ran glanced at the numbers on the iron block.

25 kg.

The barbell was swinging up and down at an incredible speed in Li Ran's eyes, but Xu Ruhong's expression did not change at all.

It's as simple as eating.

Soon Xu Ruhong and the Xueli monster's physical training ended, and the man and the beast sat down cross-legged as if they were meditating, which made Li Ran look puzzled.

"What are you doing?"

"To develop a tacit understanding with the Snow Hat Monster, we do the same thing these days, eat together and train together. Grandpa said that this way we can feel the Snow Hat Monster's true thoughts."

After listening to this, Li Ran had more respect for Xu Shangguang. It turned out that someone had already started using Zhiye's method so early on.

"Then you continue, I'll go walk around first."

"Okay, but remember, don't go deep into the snow forest. There are some very dangerous elves there."

Xu Ruhong nodded and said earnestly that because Pavilion Master Wang deliberately did not want to disrupt the elves' habitat, most of the elves there still retained a certain wildness. However, with Li Ran's strength, ordinary elves naturally posed no threat to him.

Except for the elf in the deepest part of the snow forest...even Grandpa doesn't want to be an enemy of it...

"That's Xuelin over there, right?"

After Li Ran came out, he looked around for a while and soon found the Xuelin that Xu Ruhong mentioned. If he hadn't mentioned it just now, Li Ran might not have been so interested, but as long as the other party mentioned it.

According to the routine in the game, there must be relatively rare elves or treasures in it.

......

"Chirp~"

In less than twenty minutes after Li Ran entered the snow forest, he had already subdued ten different elves, and his position was getting deeper and deeper.

"It doesn't seem as dangerous as Xu Ruhong said, right?"

rustle.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound came from the haystack behind Li Ran. However, he was not worried. In order to be on the safe side, he specifically called out the thick-skinned and cold-resistant Circle Bear. With it around, basically no elf dared to approach him casually.

"Did you find anything?"

Circle Bear explored the area for a while, then came out from the bushes with a fox covered in white fur in his hands.

To be precise, it's Vulpix.

However, the breath of this Vulpix was very weak, and Li Ran roughly observed it but did not see any obvious traces on it.

In addition, this Vulpix was so young that Li Ran initially estimated that it must have been abandoned.

But apart from the people from the Mishan Gym, there should be no one else on this island.

Vulpix was lying in the palm of Circle Bear's hand. He seemed to feel some warmth and obviously shrank his body.

Li Ran was a little confused until he saw the detailed data of Vulpix.

This Vulpix is ​​the ice-attribute Vulpix in snow form, but the weird thing is that this Vulpix can actually use fire-attribute moves. This may not be a bad thing if it happens to Daruma Baboon, but it is a bit strange if it happens to the pure ice-attribute Vulpix.

"Could it be possible that this little guy's parents are actually normal Kyuubi?"

Li Ran muttered to himself until Vulpix groaned in discomfort again.

"Roar......"

Circle Bear looked at Li Ran nervously, very worried.

"Don't worry. Judging from its appearance, it must have been born not long ago and has not taken in any nutrition, so it is a little hungry."

Li Ran then rummaged through his backpack and had no choice but to take out an energy cube, grind it into powder with a stone, and mix it evenly with the hot water in the thermos.

"See if it wants to drink. If not, we have to go back to the Mishan Gym immediately."

Li Ran brought the lid of the thermos cup to Vulpix's mouth and tilted it slightly to let some liquid flow in.

After Vulpix took two sips, the desire to survive and hunger instantly emerged, and its eyes slowly opened as it swallowed some energy cubes.

"Very good, I'll leave this little guy, Circle Bear, to you to take care of."

Li Ran packed up all the things and returned the same way. Although Vulpix could eat, since it was picked up by Cyclone Bear, it was possible that it still had some minor illnesses. It would be better to go back for a check-up.

After returning to the ice lake, Li Ran first let Xu Ruhong take a look at Vulpix.

"This Vulpix should not be the Pokémon of our gym. I have never seen it before, but..."

Xu Ruhong's eyes became strange and he asked.

"Did you go into the snow forest?"

"Forehead......"

Li Ran looked a little embarrassed. Xu Ruhong knew from his expression that the other party did not listen to the advice and entered the snow forest anyway.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Vulpix you brought back... should be the offspring of Master Xuelin."

Just as Li Ran was about to say something, Xu Ruhong spoke again.

"I advise you to return it. The Kyuubi may have abandoned it, but a tribe like theirs values ​​bloodline very much...if they find it, they'll probably come looking for you."
