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

"Hey, little guy, are you okay?"

Li Ran didn't know how far he ran with the giant-jawed ant in his arms. He was relieved only after confirming that its parents did not chase him. He first put the giant-jawed ant on the ground, looked it up and down and felt relieved to see that it was not injured.

"Click..."

The giant-jawed ant lowered its head in disappointment and lay weakly on the ground, with an unstoppable loneliness in its eyes, just like a child abandoned by its parents.

"Don't think too much. They must have high expectations of you."

Li Ran sighed silently and reached out his hand to touch its head. Given the current condition of the big-jaw ant, if this little guy was left here alone, he would probably really die. Finally, he squatted in front of the big-jaw ant and spoke seriously.

"Little guy, do you want to come with me?"

"Click?"

The big-jawed ant raised its big round head with a puzzled expression, until Xiaoshui, who was following beside it, acted as an interpreter for it. It then roughly understood what Li Ran meant, and then lowered its head and hesitated.

"There's no need to rush for results."

Li Ran smiled at it, then began to go deep into the jungle to look for edible fruits. After all, he didn't know how long he would stay here, so he had to make plans for the future just in case.

After a while, he found some fruits of different colors. The appearance of these fruits made him feel a lot more relaxed. Their appearance was almost the same as in the game, so it was relatively easy for him to find the fruits. He just didn't know if they would suit the elves' appetite.

"Come and see what you like to eat."

Xiao Shui and Geodude ran up happily, and after choosing from left to right, Xiao Shui chose the orange fruit which was similar in color to her own, while Geodude chose the more well-known pomelo fruit. Li Ran looked at the giant jaw ant lying on the stone, still motionless. Although he was not a Pokémon, he could imagine the feeling of being abandoned by his parents.

"Little guy, are you still hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

After eating food once, the giant jaw ant can normally go without food for nearly a week.

“Click…click.”

The giant jaw ant shook its head at him and made a faint sound.

"Well, come and eat if you're hungry."

Li Ran smiled lightly and found an open space nearby to practice.

"Xiaoshui, pay attention to Geodude's moves. Geodude, perform the rockfall!"

"Click!"

"knock!"

Geodude raised both hands high with a faint ground energy appearing on the surface, and then suddenly inserted his arms into the ground. When he pulled out his arms, a lot of gravel was attached to his arms. Finally, he picked out a sharper stone and used his fist to knock the gravel into the distance.

The falling rocks collided with the ground, instantly producing layers of smoke. After the smoke dissipated, a cracked hole was left behind. Due to the low level of proficiency, it only created a hole three or four centimeters deep, so the power was not very high.

"Did you see clearly, Xiaoshui?"

Li Ran started talking only after Xiao Shui nodded.

"Then let's give it a try. It's okay if we fail. This is only our first time."

"Click!"

Xiao Shui shouted softly to cheer himself up, raised his little hands and imitated Geodude, condensing the water energy in his hands. Because of his habit of staying in the mud at the bottom of the water, his blue energy was accompanied by a brown line.

The big-jawed ant couldn't help but look at them. Seeing Li Ran's training of them, it was slowly attracted. Its parents were very disappointed with it just now because it only practiced some life-saving skills. They were so angry that it did that just now. But after all, it is their bloodline. Do they want to wipe it out just because of its incompetence?

Thinking of this, a gleam of light appeared in its eyes, and soon it became determined again and walked towards the place where Li Ran was training.

Snapped!

The gravel that Xiaoshui pulled out from the ground was too small, resulting in the stones hitting the ground without causing any power at all. However, Li Ran was already very satisfied. The first attempt had already revealed the prototype of the move. All he had to do next was to continue practicing until he became proficient in it.

"Crack!"

The sound of the giant jaw ant surprised Li Ran a little. He squatted down and touched its head.

"What happened to the big jaw ant?"

"Kaka!"

It pointed its little feet at the hole caused by the fallen rocks, and then pointed at Li Ran.

"Do you want to train too?"

Seeing the giant-jawed ant nod, Li Ran also smiled and looked as if he understood. It seemed that what happened just now was indeed a big blow to it.

"Xiao Shui, keep practicing your rockfall. You too, Xiao Quan. Remember to use the strength of your arms flexibly and maximize the amount of rock you can knock out!"

"The Jaw Ant used its bite on that tree!"

The three elves attacked at the same time. Li Ran saw the big-jawed ant opening its big mouth. A pale white luster appeared on the outer edge of its serrated mouth. After biting the tree trunk for a few seconds, it fell off, leaving only a shallow serration.

"Big Jaw Ants won't do that! Muster your courage. When you bite your target, don't close your eyes out of fear. Find the right spot and bite it!"

Li Ran noticed at a glance that the giant jaw ant had a slight movement of closing its eyes when biting. The key to biting is not only to have a strong bite force, but more importantly to find a suitable place, otherwise it will be useless.

"Kaka!"

The big-jawed ant roared softly, and thinking of the disappointed look in his parents' eyes, his mind gradually became determined.

"Great! Launch your bite attack on that tree again!"

The big-jawed ant heard the four little feet running quickly. This time it did not close its eyes for fear of being hit. When it was about to reach the target, it kicked quickly and opened its big mouth, revealing the white luster again.

"Crack!"

With a bang, the big-jawed ant successfully bit the trunk of the tree this time. The powerful bite force was enough to tear off a piece of the trunk that was as thick as a thigh.

"Good job, Big Jaw Ant! Remember the feeling this time and bite again!"

Li Ran struck while the iron was hot and gave another attack instruction to the big tree next door.

The noise coming from the entire forest made many elves stop and dare not approach, and Li Ran and his companions were so absorbed in their work that they did not notice that there were two pairs of eyes watching them.

"Eat everything. Everything tastes better after training."

It was late at night when Li Ran returned to the shore. The woods were too dark, but there was moonlight on the shore to provide illumination. He laid out the fruits and other things he had collected before nightfall. Suddenly, his appetite increased greatly, and he and his three pets all began to eat with relish. The big-jawed ant also showed a long-lost smile on its face. It liked this kind of atmosphere very much.

The next day Li Ran was almost frightened awake.

He thought the parents of the giant-jawed ants had left yesterday, but unexpectedly they appeared in front of him at this moment. Li Ran broke out in a sweat, wondering if his idea of ​​taming the giant-jawed ants had been known.

The giant jaw ant hid behind Li Ran in fear. Apparently, yesterday's scene had left some shadow on it.

“Ka-hou!”

Desert Dragonfly took a step forward and waved to Li Ran, motioning him to come over.

"I?"

Although Li Ran had some concerns in his heart, he still went ahead with it because he saw the other party's message.

Elf Name: Desert Dragonfly (Female)

Strength level: High-level lord

Attribute: Ground/Dragon

Skills: Dragon Breath (Advanced), Strength of the Earth (Advanced), Earthquake (Advanced), Sonic Blast (Intermediate), Dragon Claw (max), Wide Area Destruction (Advanced), Wind (max), Slash (Advanced), Quicksand Hell (Advanced), Charming Voice (max)

Features: Force (The power of attack moves with additional effects is increased, but the additional effects of these moves are no longer activated.)

The other male desert dragonfly was even more terrifying. Not only was his strength at the master level, he was also proficient in all the skills. Although he lacked the seductive voice, he had learned the powerful meteor swarm, and was also proficient in it!

Li Ran came to them and saw that he was grabbed. Then the male desert dragonfly behind him suddenly made a dragon claw gesture towards Li Ran. Xiao Shui and Xiao Quan Shi wanted to go forward, but were blown away by the strong airflow created by the other party's wings.

"You guys run!"

Li Ran sensed the danger and shouted orders to Xiaoshui and the others.

“Ka-hou!”

The male desert dragonfly cast his sharp eyes over his children, as if judging something.

"Crack!"

The big-jawed ant didn't know where it got the strength from. It only knew that Li Ran was a good man, but now it was in danger. It ran quickly and rushed towards Li Ran, gathering energy in its mouth and biting the falling dragon claw.

The bite of the big-jaw ant and the dragon claw, which was not at full strength, collided with each other and formed an explosion. The airflow caused by it overturned the big-jaw ant. However, Li Ran noticed that the male desert dragonfly was not as serious as before. Instead, he relaxed his expression and showed a more satisfied look.

Then, with a low growl, the female desert dragonfly that was holding Li Ran let go of her hand, picked up the giant jaw ant, and said something to her child. Finally, she brought the giant jaw ant to Li Ran.

“Crack.”

The male desert dragonfly's words made Li Ran stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and spoke uncertainly.

"You guys mean for me to take it away...right?"

“Crack.”

The couple nodded in understanding. Rather than letting the giant-jawed ants waste their lives here, it would be better for them to follow Li Ran, so that their bloodline would not be in vain.
