Chapter 322 Secret Seasonings and Pots!

Chapter 322 Secret Seasonings and Pots!

On July 15th, midsummer has entered the complete stage.

The scorching sun has caused many wild Pokémon to choose to hide in the shade, underground or in caves in order to prevent themselves from losing precious water, changing their work and rest schedules. More often, they will choose to hide when the sun is about to set but there is still time. Go out again when the light shines.

At this time, in Luo Mu's farm, in addition to the fire-type Pokémon such as Blue Flame Blade Ghost, Wind Speed ​​Dog, Flame Bird and Victini, most of them also chose to hide in the room and blow Luo Mu during the period when the sun was the most fierce. Mu has newly installed air conditioners for them.

The electricity meter connected to the farm's overall circuit was spinning rapidly. Fortunately, the Lightning Bird's previous complete charge allowed the farm to squander the power to survive this midsummer.

Not to mention that Luo Mu would occasionally ask Roentgen Cat and Thunder Drum to generate electricity from time to time. Before joining other big electricity consumers, there was basically no need to worry about electricity issues.

For example, after the Vulpix and Sandan King couple returned to the farm from the Johto area, they directly chose to stay in the ice elf hut and ice cellar and never showed up again. At most, they could only go out for a walk after the sun went down. As for the Frozen Bird built The igloo had already melted and collapsed due to midsummer.

Recently, Luo Mu also determined the location of the messenger bird through the black ball prop given by Chaomeng.

As a small archipelago, the Orange Islands are not as big as a region at all. Luo Mu did a little research on the Internet and determined the travel progress of Xiaozhi and his party at this time. After all, the Victor's Cup was posted on the official website of the Orange Islands. A big banner promotion poster is about to be restarted again, and the challenger is Ash Ketchum, who has collected four Southern Cross badges.

In a sense, although the Orange League is not even as big as gyms in some big cities, this competition is indeed the first competition in which Xiaozhi has won the league.

After passing this competition, it was time for them to set off for the Johto region.

In Luo Mu's impression, their trip might have lasted only about two months, and most of that time was probably wasted getting lost.

The Orange Islands are only so big, and the Messenger Bird won't get lost like Xiaozhi and his friends. It is estimated that within this period of time, the Messenger Bird will be able to visit the Orange Islands and head to Johto or Hoenn.

At this time, Luo Mu was not sure whether Messenger Bird's next travel plan was to go to Chengdu or Fengyuan. After all, Chaomeng had already taken the Messenger Bird through the gyms in the Chengdu area. Maybe it would choose to go to Fengyuan directly. Woolen cloth?

During this period of time, the black ball was activated several times, and the messenger bird transmitted many objects.

Such as very beautiful glass products, pink tree fruits, unknown fossils that are not fossil Pokémon, sweet candied grapefruit, and a somewhat familiar gold coin.

Luo Mu had the impression that the glass product should be a specialty of Ponkan Island with the crystal rock snake. The messenger bird probably bought it with the money he gave it. He didn't know if it had found the crystal rock snake. Luo Mu had already thought about it. Otherwise, buy a camera for the messenger bird and let it take pictures to record what you see during the trip.

Luo Mu didn't eat the pink tree fruit himself, and he didn't dare to let the Pokémon eat it. If he remembered correctly, if he ate this thing, his whole body would turn pink. It seemed to be called a flat tangerine fruit.

Luo Mu plans to save the seeds of these tangerine fruits and try to plant them on the farm in the future.

By then you may be able to see pink dragons, monarch snakes, roentgen cats, and bog monsters.

The candied grapefruit tastes good, and the original grapefruit should be delicious as well. Unfortunately, the grapefruit has been processed and the seeds are not very viable. I don’t know if they can be grown. Luo Mu also saved the seeds. .

Luo Mu didn't know much about the brand and performance of the camera. He thought about whether he should ask Sha Li for advice. As a photographer, she should know this very well. Anyway, Luo Mu also exchanged contact information with her.

Thinking about whether to send a text message or make a phone call, Luo Mu walked near the chicken house.

In the pen of the chicken house, Oliva controls the growth of the branches and leaves on the body. The shadows brought by the hanging branches and leaves provide cooling for the chicks that have grown a lot.

The wind speed dog lay aside, sticking out its tongue and watching the chicks chattering and busy under Oliva. Although it had grown into a majestic appearance, it still had a trace of the childlike innocence in its heart. Just such a scene, Feng Su dog Dogs can watch it all day long and never get tired of it.

Remembering the purpose of going out, Luo Mu smiled and shouted to Oliva and Fengsugou: "Remember to meet at the watermelon field tonight!"

Oliva, who had an increasingly loving personality, nodded slightly and thought about whether to bring some watermelon pulp back to the chickens after the party.

But can chicks eat watermelon? Luo Mu said that there seem to be watermelon seeds in watermelon, and the chicks might like it.

Next to Oliva, who was lost in thought, Wind Speed ​​Dog stared at the chickens, with a few drops of crystal water seeping from the seam of his mouth.

I don’t know if the appearance of the wind speed dog is a bit scary, but the chicks who were pecking the ground carefree silently shrank in the direction of Oliva. This made the wind speed dog a little embarrassed, and even looked at Oliva timidly. Levi glanced.

Don’t get me wrong, the Wind Speed ​​Dog is not trying to take advantage of Oliva’s chickens. Although its own defense is pretty good, the Wind Speed ​​Dog doesn’t want to be attacked by Oliva’s bullet-like compassionate olive oil. Then It will make all the hair on the body covered with oil, and the sand bath will have no effect. Luo Mu will definitely let himself take a bath by then.

This is the only thing that Wind Speed ​​Dog wants to avoid!

After leaving the chicken house, Luo Mu went straight to the lake area. It was much cooler than other sun-exposed areas on the farm. The reason was because this was where the mosquito-repellent frog king practiced its rain-seeking moves and combined its rainfall characteristics. "Heavy rainstorm" weather conditions.

"Heavy rainstorm" is just a weather name named by Luo Mu for the convenience of distinction. The weather changes caused by ordinary "rain" or "rain" can be easily overridden by other Pokémon's weather moves, unless the strength of the two parties is too different. big.

But when the Mosquito-repellent Frog King used wet rocks to exercise his control over the weather, the "heavy rainstorm" he developed incorporated the two energies of "rain-seeking" and "rainfall" to form a stronger and more violent rainy day. I think To cover such weather, other Pokémon would have to expend more energy to cover it.

However, due to the existence of the "rainfall" characteristic, the mosquito-repellent frog king itself only consumes the energy of "requesting rain" and part of the energy of activating "rainfall".

This move has just been developed, and there is still a long way to go before it can participate in the battle. The Mosquito-Incense Frog King is also constantly improving. Luo Mu is looking forward to its future performance.

After all, I have a lot of Pokémon fighting in the rain, including Roentgen Cat, Swampert, Thunder Drum, and Dragonite.

Stepping on the wet ground, Luo Mu cast his eyes towards Thunder Lake.

At this time, the Pokémon were in a resting state, and three Harkron lay lazily on the shore, basking in the scorching sun with the two Dragonflies.

That's right, for Luo Mu, the scorching sun that makes him sweat like crazy just being outside is just right for Kuailong and the others. Is this a dragon-type Pokémon?

Smiling and mentioning tonight's arrangements to the lazy Kuailong, Luo Mu took a detour and looked at the fenced-in breeding fish. They seemed to have grown a lot, but they were far from being able to enjoy them. fat state.

Luo Mu, who thought about letting them go, came to the other side of Thunder Lake again. The mosquito-repellent frog king must have just finished the weather training, and the air was still smelling of moisture. He used the rain-seeking move in the harsh weather of midsummer. It often consumes more energy. If it is a newly evolved mosquito-repellent frog king, it may not be able to hold it for long, but it is different now.

At this time, the mosquito-repellent frog king and his three mosquito-repellent-repellent frogs were practicing boxing under the training of the giant swamp monster. The mosquito-repellent frogs were already very good at boxing after evolving into mosquito-repellent swimmers. Learning this was a matter of course, and the mosquito-repellent frog king put down As a "king", learning boxing is also to train your close combat ability.

The Mosquito-Repellent Frog King is very smart, and his smart mind will often plan a series of goals for the Mosquito-Repellent Frog King to become stronger. While tempering the strength of his weather moves and his own special attacks, the Mosquito-Repellent Frog King also wants to exercise his melee combat capabilities.

The Mosquito Frog King thought that at least when he met a Pokémon that could break through his special attack and come to him, he would have a certain melee ability to protect himself, just like after the Wind Speed ​​Dog burned up the water flow he released. Like when charging at him with Crazy Volt.

Among Luo Mu's Pokémon, there are many who are good at close combat, but Frog King felt that the one that was more suitable for him was the Swampert, which was also a water attribute, so he chose to ask it to teach him the skills of close combat.

Swampert is also happy to teach, also to improve the overall strength of the farm.

Luo Mu's arrival caused the sweaty Pokémon to temporarily stop their training and gather around him.

"For tonight's watermelon banquet, everyone remember to arrive early after the training is completed. We have to chill the watermelon with cold water first."

After interacting with the enthusiastic giant swamp monsters one by one, Luo Mu revealed his purpose.

Hearing this, both the giant swamp monster and the mosquito-repellent frog king showed expectant expressions, their eyes glowed, and they nodded quickly, indicating that they would take this matter to heart, and watched Luo Mu leave as he headed to the next location. Back view.

After saying goodbye to the giant swamp monsters, Luo Mu came to the farming area again. Although it was still some time before dark, he still had to confirm one thing.

Entering the apple forest, the mottled tree shadows swayed gently with the breeze. Luo Mu vaguely heard the sound of flapping wings. After thinking about it, Luo Mu knew the source of the breeze and quickly walked in one direction. .

After passing the trunks of more than a dozen apple trees, at the edge of the apple forest, Luo Mu saw the figure of a tropical dragon with four huge green leaves flapping on its back and carrying three friends to play in the air.

"Douge" "Chirp" "Zibo"

The laughter of the four Pokémon echoed in the apple forest, making Luo Mu couldn't help but smile.

After a period of growth, the little tropical dragon has entered a sub-adult state and is close to the 2-meter height and body type in the illustrated book. All this is thanks to the monarch snake grabbing it and eating fruit worms every day. Regarding nutritional intake, we also specifically asked the Orangutans for some nutritional knowledge to ensure that the tropical dragons and fruit-gnawing insects thrive.

As for the fruit-gnawing worm, there is basically no change in its appearance. Except that the apple on its body will be replaced after a period of time, and the texture, size and shape of the apple will change slightly, there is almost no significant change in the fruit-gnawing worm itself. Variety.

It seemed that the tropical dragon with a very clever nose smelled Luo Mu's scent. After it stopped flying, it searched around and soon discovered Luo Mu's traces, and rushed towards Luo Mu with a face of joy.

With a plop, Luo Mu was crushed under him by the little tropical dragon. The weight of at least close to two hundred kilograms made Luo Mu feel as if he had been hit by a cannonball, and he did not recover for a long time.

Not to mention, behind the Tropical Dragon are the Huhu siblings, whose carapace weight is almost 40 kilograms.

The weight of the fruit-gnawing worms is harmless, but this "love" is simply too heavy.

At this time, the little tropical dragon still maintained his childhood habits, tilting his head and looking at Luo Mu under him in confusion, as if he was wondering why Luo Mu didn't pick him up like he did when he was a child.

Fortunately, Sister Huhu thought quickly and realized that she weighed 100 million points. She grabbed her younger brother and the fruit-gnawing insect and jumped down from behind the tropical dragon. She landed next to Luo Mu and looked at him with a look of gratitude.

Luo Mu: "."

You are quite a nice person.

Fortunately, the little tropical dragon got up quickly, otherwise Luo Mu felt that he might have been crushed by this treacherous child who couldn't press his chest well enough to lose oxygen and pass out.

I touched the coquettish little tropical dragon and gave it plenty of love and care.

The personality of the little tropical dragon is completely opposite to that of the fruit-gnawing bug. The fruit-gnawing bug is extremely social. Basically, except for the group of blue jays and steel-armored crows that it dislikes because of its instinct, who can the fruit-gnawing bug meet? All very enthusiastic.

The little Tropical Dragon is just like it was when it was born, full of social fears. When meeting strange Pokémon for the first time, it definitely keeps a distance. At the same time, it is a little timid, and it is a bit like the younger brother of Hu Hu.

It was obviously brought out by the Monarch Snake, and the Monarch Snake itself is full of dominance as a royal Pokémon. I don't know why the fruit-gnawing worm and the tropical dragon have two extreme personalities.

Fortunately, the common thing between fruit-gnawing insects and tropical dragons is that they will turn into a clingy spirit after being mixed together. This is very popular among the Pokémon on the farm. Even the two-year-old Squirrel Dog is facing the farm. When there are only brothers and sisters younger than itself, it will act like an older brother and express its most impressive and reliable side.

By the way, after the reliable orangutan identification, we came to the conclusion that the fruit-gnawing worm is a boy and the tropical dragon is a girl.

Each Pokémon is like a child with different personalities. Luo Mu is grateful that he has the ability to integrate them and provide them with a better environment to allow them to display their abilities.

"Huchu, come here, let me see!"

With fruit worms gnawing on his head and a clingy tropical dragon that was almost stuck to him, Luo Mu squatted down and called his sister and sister Huhu to come to him.

When they controlled the tentacles extending from the shell and crawled to Luo Mu, a cork of just the right size had been inserted into the holes in the red and blue carapace.

This also means they have started fermenting the tree juice inside their bodies.

In his first attempt, Luo Mu let his two pots go to find his favorite tree fruits for fermentation, without putting much effort into the recipe.

The tree juice that is currently fermenting or has already been fermented in the shells of the two pots is like a gift in a blind box or a treasure in a treasure chest for Luo Mu, full of expectations.

Although Luo Mu originally expected to let the red brother Huhu ferment the tree juice and the blue sister Huhu to ferment the medicinal liquid, considering that the medicinal liquid still needs formula and herbs, he temporarily let them ferment the tree juice at will.

When the fermentation liquid is really needed, just clean their carapace thoroughly. The foam light of the mosquito-repellent frog king should be able to minimize the probability of odor transfer.

If it doesn't work, go to the Johto area or Alola area, find Suicune or Capu Fin and apply some purifying water to purify the remaining smell.

Luo Mu first picked up his younger brother Hu Hu. The muscles on his arms that had been tempered by farm work were slightly bulging. After pulling out the cork from any hole in the shell of Hu Hu, Luo Mu came forward and sniffed with his nose. Sniff.

The smell of half-fermented tree fruit that stuck in the middle rushed into Luo Mu's nostrils.

". Sure enough, three days are still a bit stressful, aren't you?"

After inserting the cork into Brother Huhu's hole again, Luo Mu's frown relaxed slightly because he could no longer smell the smell.

He was not surprised that the fermentation of the tree juice was not completed.

After all, the custom-made cork had just arrived three days ago, and the tree juice in the pot had only fermented for three days at best.

However, based on the taste just now, we can almost conclude that the fermentation of tree juice only takes seven to ten days.

In fact, this speed is not bad. After all, the weather has been a bit hot recently. Just like grapes grown in many places in the Padia region, the fermentation time is almost one to two weeks, and it may even be extended to 20 days when the weather is hot. By one month, it may even extend to forty days after the weather turns cooler.

The decisive factor for fermentation is stable and warm climate conditions, so the kettles choose to drill into tree holes and rocks to speed up the fermentation of tree juice inside the carapace.

Putting down brother Huhu, Luo Mu picked up sister Huhu and went through the process in the same way.

Luo Mu's expression was no different from when he was checking the fermented tree juice in brother Huhu's body. It was even synchronized to a terrifying level. Didn't even see it.

"Well, it seems that I can't share your fermented tree juice with everyone tonight. I can only make various watermelon-related heat-relieving foods according to the original plan."

Luo Mu showed a regretful smile, and the Huhu siblings were a little disappointed, but they were comforted by Luo Mu's next words.

"It's okay. Next time, just gather the Pokémon on the farm to hold a tree juice appreciation conference with you as the protagonists. There are plenty of opportunities, and the days ahead are long."

"Zibo!"

The Huhu siblings' eyes suddenly lit up and they showed happy smiles.

Luo Mu then interacted with the fruit-gnawing bugs and the tropical dragon for a while. By the way, he observed the green spikes under the neck of the tropical dragon that had begun to emerge, and told it to take in sufficient nutrients so that it would not grow. The fruits that were produced took away too many nutrients and affected their growth and development, so they left the apple forest.

During the period from hatching to adulthood, tropical dragons will not grow fruits that require nutrients from their bodies to grow. Only after their bodies have fully matured will the tropical dragons have the consciousness to supply energy to the fruits under their necks. Its mature.

Luo Mu does not want Tropical Dragon to be anxious to express itself and choose to divide important nutrients into fruits during the growth stage.

Fortunately, the tropical dragon is obviously well-behaved. The green spikes under its neck are evidence of excess nutrition, indicating that Luo Mu and Monarch Snake have raised it very well. The excess nutrients even caused spikes to appear on the fruits.

After completely leaving the apple forest, Luo Mu showed a solemn and thoughtful expression.

He was proficient in balancing a bowl of water. The moment he smelled the juice from the tree inside the carapace of Sister Huchu, he almost couldn't help but reveal a flaw in his expression. Fortunately, his strong self-control prevented this from happening.

"Hey, how could this happen?"

With a slight sigh, Luo Mu recalled the almost complete fruity aroma of the tree juice in Sister Huhu's carapace, with a complex expression on his face.

The fermentation time is faster than that of the younger brother, and the tree juice smells more delicious, almost a crushing difference.

If the personalities of the siblings were reversed, Luo Mu wouldn't be so worried.

You know, for children with sensitive and timid personalities, it is often this gap that causes them to feel unbalanced, and their small and cautious hearts will go to an unknown extreme because of the sense of gap. This is the most important thing. It may be bad, but it won't be much better if it's good. Once the mentality is out of balance, it may make Brother Huhu more sensitive and timid.

Luo Mu's head was almost bald just thinking about how to balance the conflict between his gifted sister and his timid and sensitive brother.

If the sister has no idea that she is one of the factors causing the brother to become timid and sensitive, it will be troublesome to solve this problem.

Fortunately, Sister Huhu obviously takes care of her younger brother, which gives Luo Mu a little confidence to think of a way to subtly enlighten younger brother Huhu so that he will not be sad because of his talent.

"As expected, we still need to start with cultivating confidence. Can we try to let my brother participate in the battle?"

While thinking about the plan, Luo Mu thought of the old man Huhu that Xiaozhi and his party met in the Muji animation.

The old man Hu Hu has a mountain of Hu Hu, and one of them, a different-colored Hu Hu, is like Sister Hu Hu, with a very special talent.

Among Old Man Keke's Keke, only the tree juice brewed by the different-colored Keke can make a drug that can make any Pokémon feel good.

Maybe there really are some Pokémon of different colors that not only have different body colors from their peers, but also have many special talents.

As for sister Huhu's special talent, Luo Mu thought that in addition to her fermentation speed being almost twice as fast as that of brother Huhu, she might also make the tree juice taste more delicious, maybe even like eating fruit worms. Increase the effects of tree juice.

If it really has this effect.

Luo Mu thought of a small special field on the farm.

Maybe the secret seasoning plant can be used by Sister Huhu to make a medicinal solution with incredible effects?
