Chapter 430: Puppies, this road is blocked

After Luo Mu and the monarch snake had cleared the weeds that covered the mountain road and came to the fork in the road before the top of the mountain again, he chose without hesitation to take the monarch snake directly to the road on the right leading to the cave.

When Luo Mu came to the outside of the cave again, he could not find any trace of the young blacksmith in the not-so-big cave, not even a bit of iron filings, as if the young blacksmith had disappeared overnight.

".Did they move?"

Luo Mu frowned slightly. He didn't expect that this little blacksmith was so vigilant.

Last night, he and the Roentgen cat just happened to meet the little blacksmith and did not do anything to hurt each other, but the little blacksmith chose to move without hesitation.

If I had known this would happen, I would have left some mushrooms last night as a token of goodwill.

Looking at the thermos bucket filled with delicious mushroom soup in his hand, Luo Mu was a little amused.

Is this an example of a failure where one wanted to leave a stunning first-hand impression but ended up with nothing?

But the monarch cobra seemed to have sensed something. It closed its eyes and quickly moved its tongue, deducing the direction of movement through the largest breath in the cave.

Soon, the monarch snake discovered that the breath had been in the cave until not long ago. It probably left the cave while it and Luo Mu were going up the mountain, and walked in another direction. Its movements were not hurried, so it should not have been a hasty move and escape as Luo Mu said.

"Galo."

After a little thought, the monarch snake hooked Luo Mu's wrist with the tip of its tail, motioning him to follow it.

"Do you know where the little blacksmith has gone?"

Luo Mu's eyes widened, but he didn't seem particularly surprised. Instead, he was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

Among the six main Pokémon, Serpentor has the strongest and most detailed control over energy. It is also very sensitive to aura due to its inherent talent.

Just like when Nemo was kidnapped at the beginning of the year, it was able to easily lock onto the movements of the bad guys in the warehouse with closed doors.

If the Roentgen cat is unrivaled in terms of perspective, then the monarch snake has a similar ability in terms of scent perception.

What Luo Mu always worried about was whether the monarch snake would be jealous and unwilling to help him find a blacksmith. He never worried about whether the monarch snake could find a blacksmith.

Seeing that the monarch snake was willing to lead the way, Luo Mu took a step and followed with a look of surprise.

However, a certain existence in Luo Mu's consciousness that was ready to make a move typed out several ellipsis marks.

【.】

What should I do? My host's Pokémon are so versatile that it's never my turn to show off my presence?

Luo Mu discovered that under the guidance of the monarch snake, he was actually walking down the mountain.

However, it was not the road they originally took to go up the mountain, but the road down the mountain leading to the wilderness on the other side of the hill.

Ignoring the occasional Oyster Mushrooms disguised as mushrooms that appeared along the way, and having no intention of picking any, Luo Mu stopped only when he reached halfway up the mountain and could clearly see the scenery below, along with the monarch snake.

Looking at the monarch snake in front of him that no longer moved but instead cast its gaze towards a bush at the edge of the mountainside, Luo Mu's pupils shrank slightly as he realized a fact.

No way! ?

Looking carefully and attentively at the bush that the monarch snake was staring at again, Luo Mu finally found something wrong -

In the gap between the leaves, a pink figure was lying there motionless. If it were an ordinary person, they might not even notice it and would just walk past it!
"Gallo."

The monarch snake stretched out another vine, pointed that way, and reminded Luo Mu in a calm voice.

The so-called grass was also fake. At least the monarch snake did not detect any signs of roots growing underground.

In other words, the young blacksmith was covered in "grass", lying there motionless, hiding his existence!
Luo Mu, who understood what the monarch snake meant, was completely shocked.

What is the origin of this little blacksmith?
Not only does he know how to make loud noises to "scare away" himself and the Roentgen cat, he can also make a simple "ghillie suit" and lie on the ground pretending to be Voldemort!

This kid is so terrifying, I must not... Ahem, I was thinking wrong.

Luo Mu discovered that the young blacksmith seemed unaware of his and the monarch snake's arrival. Instead, he was concentrating on looking downwards, completely unaware that his disguise had been exposed.

Luo Mu immediately had an idea in his mind and looked at the monarch snake pleadingly.

Monarch snake: “.”

Humph, scumbag!

Not only do you have to hook up with wild female Pokémon in front of you, but you also have to not disturb your acquaintance!

The monarch snake's face turned black, and it angrily found a big tree and climbed up. It turned its back to Luo Mu and coiled around the branch. Every move it made conveyed its dissatisfaction.

But just as the monarch snake thought, no matter how angry it was, it would never act recklessly when it came to major issues. Luo Mu had to find a suitable blacksmith, so it could only retreat temporarily.

Giving the monarch snake an apologetic look, Luo Mu planned to go back and compensate it.

Because he thought of a possibility, perhaps the reason why the little blacksmith reacted so strongly last night was because of the Roentgen cat.

After all, Luo Mu clearly remembered that the look in the young blacksmith's eyes when he looked at him was not only not vigilant, but rather somewhat "contemptuous".

It was as if the Roentgen cat was the threat and Luo Mu was just there to make up the numbers.

That's why this time Luo Mu tried to let the monarch snake hide first, and tried to contact the little blacksmith alone. Maybe, its reaction would not be so big.

"Kanu."

Wearing a ghillie suit, the young blacksmith looked down intently, paying attention to the every move of the Flame Queen Lizard tribe and the Houndoom tribe.

Because of his high concentration and confidence in the ghillie suit he made, the young blacksmith didn't notice that Luo Mu had discovered him.

At this time, the young blacksmith was just thinking in his mind, wondering how to solve the dual threat of the Flame Queen Lizard tribe and the Houndoom tribe.

It uses this hill as its base, so as to accumulate enough strength to make the group of steel armor crows obediently provide feathers for it, and even open up territory and occupy the mountain with high-quality ore.
Among the prerequisites for achieving these ideas, the most important one is how to become the real boss of this hill, the king of the hill!
The existence of the Flame Queen tribe and the Houndoom tribe is the biggest obstacle for this little blacksmith. What a coincidence, the Pokémon in these two tribes can be said to have restrained themselves completely!
The young blacksmith received a good education from his tribe and knew clearly that his attributes were powerless against those two Pokémon.

The little blacksmith wanted to suppress them with his strength and then make them submit and become warriors under his command. However, he felt that even if he evolved into a giant blacksmith, he might not be able to do it.

Moreover, these two tribes will grow stronger over time and even further erode the hill, leaving the young blacksmith with little time.

At this time, the young blacksmith felt overwhelmed. After thinking hard, he came to a conclusion.

Now it seems that all we can do is try to recruit those scattered Pokémon living on the hills and form a group before we can proceed to the next step.

However, if it was the Roentgen cat, if it could be called upon, perhaps these two groups would no longer be a threat.

After all, among all the Pokémon that brought a sense of crisis to the little blacksmith during his wanderings, the Roentgen was at the top of the list. It was almost so strong that it made him feel creepy. The Flame Queen and Chief Houndoom were no match for him at all.

You know, that guy even dared to provoke that terrifying black sky dragon!
The image of the Roentgen cat slowly emerged in the little blacksmith's mind. Not long after Luo Mu and the Roentgen cat left, he remembered that Roentgen cat and Luo Mu seemed to have fought with the sky dragon not long ago.

This made the young blacksmith feel a little regretful. He should not have driven them away earlier.

But in the eyes of the little blacksmith, Luo Mu is still a weak human being who has no power at all and relies entirely on the Roentgen Cat to fight against the group of Pokémon.

If I have the chance to meet that Roentgen cat again, maybe I can try to get in touch with it.
The young blacksmith smiled as he thought of this, as if he had imagined some wonderful scene. He immediately planned to get up, end his daily observation, and go home to continue forging the hammer.

But at this moment, the young blacksmith heard a light cough behind him.

"Cough cough."

"Kanu!?"

The young blacksmith was startled and screamed subconsciously. He jumped eight feet high and almost fell off the mountain.

Fortunately, Luo Mu was quick-witted and put down the thermos bucket to catch it, otherwise the little blacksmith would have been beaten by the Houndoom and Flame Queen Lizard tribes.

The young blacksmith got angry when he found out that the person who caught him was Luo Mu, a person he had just met last night.

No, why do you always appear behind me like a ghost?

Feeling that he would have a heart attack sooner or later if he continued like this, the little blacksmith jumped out of Luo Mu's arms and looked at him with a condemning look on his face. But before the little blacksmith could get angry, several loud roars suddenly sounded from below.

The young blacksmith's face changed, thinking to himself, "Oh no!" He leaned over to look down, and sure enough, the scream he had just made accidentally attracted the attention of the group of Delphi and Houndoom, who had excellent hearing and sense of smell!
As luck would have it, when the little blacksmith stuck his head out, he happened to meet the eyes of a Daluby who just happened to raise his head.

The roars from below suddenly became louder. Seeing that the group of Dalubi, led by Houndoom, were already finding a way up the mountain, the little blacksmith suddenly panicked.

Although the elders in the tribe all praised it for being much smarter than they were when they were young, intelligence does not equal fighting ability, and the young blacksmith does not have the confidence to conflict with that group of Dalubi and Houndoom.

It subconsciously wanted to run away, but the ghillie suit on its body had no effect on Houndoom and Dalubhi, whose noses were more sensitive than dogs.

Before the young blacksmith took a step to run, he suddenly thought of Luo Mu beside him. Looking at Luo Mu's eyes flashing with the clarity and stupidity of innocence, the young blacksmith became furious.

How could such a weak human dare to go to the wild mountains without bringing any Pokémon?

No matter how angry he was, the young blacksmith could not let a human as weak as Luo Mu stay here to be baptized by those ferocious guys.

"Kanu!"

Because of its height, it could only grab Luo Mu's trouser legs.

The young blacksmith anxiously pulled Luo Mu's trouser leg and asked him to follow him. If he didn't leave, that group of guys would come up.

Seeing the little blacksmith so anxious, Luo Mu tilted his head, not understanding why he was so anxious.

He also noticed the movement below. They were just a group of wild Dalugou and Houndoom. What was there to be afraid of?

Perhaps it was because the little blacksmith looked like he was about to die of anxiety, Luo Mu couldn't bear to let it endure the ups and downs. He cast a glance at the monarch snake that was secretly paying attention to this side on the tree, then Luo Mu picked up the thermos bucket and cooperated with being dragged away by the little blacksmith.

About two or three minutes after they left here, a burst of hurried footsteps approached here.

A small team led by a fierce-looking Houndoom and consisting of about a dozen Dalubys rushed forward.

The leading Houndoom came to the place where the young blacksmith had just been acting as Voldemort, lowered his head to sniff, and then looked towards the road up the mountain.

The owner of the breath fled directly to the mountain!

“Luke!”

Houndoom immediately roared at the younger brothers behind him, raised his front legs, and pretended to chase after them.

But when it looked at the road again, it found a green snake Pokémon with red eyes blocking their way, looking down at them arrogantly.

The Monarch Snake has a reserved aura, and even someone with a keen sense of smell like Houndoom doesn't know its details.

The long experience of surviving in the wild made Houndoom's heart ring with alarm. He looked at the King Cobra vigilantly and took a few steps back, as if looking for an opportunity to attack.

"Galaka." (This road is blocked, puppies.)
The Monarch Snake narrowed its eyes slightly, stuck out its tongue, and twitched its tail on the ground unhappily, with such force that Houndoom's eyelids trembled.

It’s confirmed that this is someone I can’t afford to offend.

Houndoom, which originally had some fighting spirit, lost that will in an instant. The reason why it was able to survive in the wild for so long and evolve into Houndoom was because of its flexible bottom line, and eventually became the second in command of the tribe.

It would be difficult to deal with if you get injured accidentally.

Hei Lujia Senei let out a threatening growl, but he was actually moving his steps in small steps, waiting for an opportunity to escape with his brothers.

Its thoughts did not escape the eyes of the Monarch Snake at all. The Monarch Snake was already very unhappy about having to clean up the mess, and was just worrying about where to vent its anger, when Houndoom and Dalupi bumped into it.

"Gallo."

The tip of the monarch snake's tail pierced into the ground, and grass-attribute energy began to spread underground. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen tree roots several times thicker than Houndoom's waist appeared all around.

Looking at the tree roots that had cut off their retreat and were dancing like wooden dragons, Houndoom knew that it might not be able to escape unscathed today. It roared fiercely and, together with the Dalubi and the others, spewed out scorching flames, determined to make the Monarch Serpent pay the price.

The Monarch Snake's expression did not change at all, as if it was mocking Houndoom and the others' naivety.

Under its control, the crazy plants pierced through the air and rushed towards Houndoom and Dalubi who were surrounded by them, completely ignoring the jet flames.

It doesn't matter if the surface is burned, the number and weight are enough to crush the flame which is far less hot than Moltres and Azure Blade's moves.

After a while.

Houndoom was lying on the ground with a dozen Dalubi, gnawing on the fruits prepared by the King Serpent for healing, with a look of "obedience" written all over his face.

The Monarch Snake did not treat them badly. Not only did it heal all of Houndoom's injuries, but after a little thought, it simply raised its head and called out proudly.

"Galak!"

From now on, you will be my little brothers!

How dare Houndoom and the others disobey? In the wild, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.

The monarch snake in front of him was clearly restrained by him and could even beat him. I'm afraid the patriarch is no match for it. If he doesn't surrender, will he have to be beaten again?
Houndoom and Dalubi chose to rebel without hesitation, acted as traitors, and fawningly wagged their tails at the Monarch Serpent.

The Monarch Snake Team was very satisfied with their intelligence. After thinking it over, they issued the first task.

First hide back in the group, wait for its signal, and then act when the opportunity arises!
