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

"Let go of my backpack! Damn you!"

Li Ran followed at a trot, his backpack almost being dragged along the way. When he wanted to see clearly which elf stole his things, he saw a long trail of small holes left along the way, which was obviously left by an elf with the skill of digging holes. Seeing that the other elf still did not leave any trace.

Li Ran gritted his teeth and gave orders to Xiaoshui.

"Xiao Shui! Use the water gun at the distance!"

"Click!"

After the battle with Geodude, Shui's water gun skill has reached a proficient level, and the skill range has also been significantly improved. Shui jumped into the air and shot a column of water directly in the direction of the digging hole.

In an instant, the originally dry soil became wet, and the speed of digging the hole seemed to be hindered. However, the elf seemed to be very smart. It gave up Li Ran's backpack the moment it encountered obstruction, and then escaped into a deeper place.

"Did it escape?"

Li Ran picked up his backpack and dusted it off. There was no trace of the elf anymore. He took a look at the things in the bag and confirmed that they were correct before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the food is still here, otherwise we would have gone hungry today. Come and eat."

Back at the shore, the clothes had been dried. Li Ran put them on and took out a pack of biscuits for himself, as the vacuum packaging did not get damp from swimming. He also opened a can for Xiao Shui and Xiao Quan Shi. The remaining things were only enough for them to have two more meals.

While they were eating with gusto, the bushes nearby started moving again. Li Ran learned his lesson this time. He quickly put the bag behind him. He failed to grab the bag just now, but now he wants to try again. When will this end?

This time, the mysterious elf in the bushes actually walked out directly.

It was also the first time that Li Ran saw the elf's appearance clearly. The elf had a large round head that was completely disproportionate to its body, a large jagged mouth, eyes like stars, and four short legs on the ground, looking at Li Ran pitifully.

"Why are the big jaw ants here?"

Li Ran was not only shocked by this. The color of this giant jaw ant was not the usual orange and white, but it had only one color all over its body, which was dark green. It was a different-colored Pokémon!

"system."

Elf name: Jaw Ant (female)

Strength level: Rookie 2nd stage

Attribute: Ground

Skills: Scare (intermediate), Quicksand Abyss (elementary), Dig (advanced), Bite (elementary), Stomp (elementary)

Inherited skills: Wind, Slash (not activated)

Features: Super-Strong Pliers (Possessing pliers that boast strength, and whose attack will not be reduced by the opponent.)

"This giant jaw ant has a terrifying amount of skills!"

After reading the information from the system, Li Ran was even more shocked. Just talking about the giant jaw ant might not be a big deal, but you have to know that the ultimate evolution of the giant jaw ant is the desert dragonfly with dragon attributes. The information table of the giant jaw ant in front of him showed genetic skills, which also meant that this giant jaw ant was born extraordinary.

How could such a giant-jaw ant appear alone in such an inhospitable place? Moreover, there is a colony of giant-jaw ants distributed in Area 015 of the Rocky Valley. Although some people have successfully captured them, the conditions for capturing them are unexpectedly difficult. The reason is that adult desert dragonflies will naturally guard their offspring, making it difficult for other trainers to capture them.

Li Ran saw that the animal looked skinny and was obviously hungry, but there was really not much food left in his backpack.

"Hey...forget it."

Li Ran opened the can and placed it in front of the giant-jawed ant, which looked a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, eat it."

He returned to the shore and continued eating. However, the two elves, Xiaoshui and Xiaoquan, acted like naturals. They just took their cans, walked over to the Big Jaw Ant, and started eating after a brief conversation.

Seeing them eating so happily, the big-jawed ant finally relaxed a little. It was also overwhelmed by the aroma of the food. It took a small bite and then wolfed it down without caring about its reserve.

It was really hungry. Even though it didn't eat much, the food it could find here was not to its taste at all. It just now finally smelled the fragrance that aroused its appetite, which led to the act of stealing the backpack.

"The environment that the giant jaw ant likes is very dry. How did this guy get here..."

Li Ran was puzzled. The difference between Area 015 and Area 07 here is as great as the difference between the South Pole and the North Pole. There is also such a long river in between. Could it be that they were released by some trainer?

But this giant-jawed ant's talent is obviously extraordinary, so there shouldn't be such a stupid trainer.

"How did you get here, little guy?"

Seeing that it did not leave after eating, Li Ran squatted down and looked at it gently, but did not dare to touch it with his hands, as the bite force of its mouth could easily bite off his hand.

"Kaka!"

The giant-jawed ant took a few steps back, clearly showing its fear. Li Ran slapped his head, as he almost forgot that this giant-jawed ant's advanced skills were all about escaping and scaring people.

"Ok?"

Li Ran suddenly saw two shadows flying in the sky. He looked up and saw that they were two desert dragonflies. The giant jaw ant also looked happy and ran quickly into the forest. Out of curiosity, he slowly followed it.

After secretly finding a secluded place, Li Ran roughly knew the identities of the two desert dragonflies. They should be the parents of the big-jawed ant. The big-jawed ant was originally very happy to see its parents, but the two desert dragonflies seemed to be disciplining their own children, and the big-jawed ant suddenly felt lost.

Li Ran suddenly slapped his forehead hard, wondering how could he have forgotten about this.

In the worldview of gamers, perhaps, heterochromatic Pokémon are very rare, and they are something that people would want to get at any cost. But in fact, there is only one possibility for this kind of Pokémon to appear in its own group, and that is to be ostracized by its companions or even directly expelled.

The giant jaw ant in front of him was obviously sent here by the pair of desert dragonflies because it was disliked by its own tribe. Li Ran couldn't help but sigh at the power of family affection.

Judging from the appearance of the giant jaw ants, they obviously come here to visit it every once in a while.

“Ka-hou!”

Suddenly, Li Ran saw that the claws of the two desert dragonflies were bent, and the tips of the claws were as sharp as knives, flashing a light blue light. That movement, combined with the behavior of the giant jaw ant closing its eyes, seemed like it was going to kill the giant jaw ant.

"Is that a dragon claw?"

"Xiao Shui, quickly use your water gun to aim at their claws!"

Li Ran quickly drilled out from one side, and the water column above his head also shot out, colliding with the dragon claws to form a large amount of water mist. The two desert dragonflies were also drenched in the water mist and stopped in place. Li Ran seized the opportunity to pick up the big-jaw ant. The walking speed of the desert dragonflies is actually not very fast, and due to the dense trees, they cannot fly freely in the forest, so he went straight into the forest.
