Chapter 440: Xenophobic and Stubborn Townspeople

Chapter 440: Xenophobic and Stubborn Townspeople

"Honeybug?"

Luo Mu was slightly startled and took a serious look at Wu Li in front of him.

Seemingly shy and timid, Wuli subconsciously looked away, blushing and looking away.

At this time, Luo Mu suddenly realized something.

It turns out that in the information given by Adek, the student who came to Blueberry College with strange apples and fruit-gnawing worms, and made Blueberry College discover the new evolved form of fruit-gnawing worms, was this Kururi in front of him?

It seemed that there were very few opportunities to show off oneself like this. Wuli nodded slightly, took out a Poké Ball and held it in his palm, shouting in a low voice: "Come out, Honey Bug."

The next second, the light from the Poké Ball fell on the grass, and the appearance of a Pokémon gradually solidified.

Judging from the appearance, compared to the period of fruit-gnawing insects, the size of honey-wrapped insects is indeed much larger.

From the apple, a long knife-like structure reaches into the sky, with the eyes of a honey worm protruding from the side. Behind the apple, which seems to be dripping with syrup, a much larger tail protrudes, which looks very interesting.

Compared to Luo Mu's fruit-gnawing bugs, the honey-wrapped bugs seemed to have a braver personality and did not show violent reactions to the surrounding environment or the presence of strange people.

As soon as the honey-wrapped insects appeared, a special fragrance appeared in the air, as if it were honey, sweet and rich, making people feel relaxed and relaxed.

Wuli introduced to Luo Mu: "This is the characteristic nectar of honey-wrapped insects! It is a characteristic discovered for the first time. It can use the scent of honey to confuse opponents and make them relax their vigilance and lose their vigilance. This can make the honey-wrapped insects attack more easily. It’s easy to hit your opponent!”

"I see."

Luo Mu nodded. Even though he already knew it from the information given by Adek, he still responded with dignity.

Luo Mu took advantage of the situation and directly took out the elf ball and released the fruit-gnawing insects and monarch snakes.

"I also want to look for opportunities to evolve fruit-gnawing insects."

He briefly explained to Kururi why he wanted to come to Apple Hill as his first stop.

Let’s put aside some monarch snakes that scare Wu Li for now, but when he saw the fruit-gnawing worm held by Luo Mu, Wu Li’s often dim eyes suddenly lit up, showing an expression of surprise.

Oh my God!

He actually bred fruit-gnawing bugs just like his idol!

That's right.

Ever since the battle between Luo Mu and Adek at Blueberry College, Wu Li's object of worship buried deep in his heart has changed.

Originally, he admired the casual and free-spirited champion Adek, and imagined that it would be great if his useless self could one day become a powerful trainer like Adek, with the capital of being free and easy.

But after the public exhibition match at Blueberry Academy, he was impressed by the extreme violence and powerful power displayed by Luo Mu and Super Swampert, and he regarded them as his idols and goals.

He is a timid and sensitive person with poor grades, but he really wants to become a dazzling and powerful person like Luo Mu.

The fruit-gnawing insect was placed on the ground by Luo Mu. Because of the support of the monarch snake behind him, this boy dared to touch Wuli's honey-wrapped insect.

The power of insects and snakes was clearly understood by it.

Wu Li's honey-wrapped beetle was well cultivated by him. When he saw a fruit-gnawing insect approaching, he did not show any hostility, but just stared at it curiously, as if he was looking into a mirror of his own past.

Wu Li felt his heart beating very fast. He opened his mouth, trying to muster up the courage to ask Professor Luo Mu how to become stronger.

At this time.

Dan Yu, who had been silent the whole time, trotted over carrying a basket of good-looking apples.

At some point, she actually left.

"Mr. Luo Mu, I went to find someone I know and got some apples. Do you want to try them?"

Dan Yu raised the fruit basket in her hand, her face full of anticipation.

Suppressed by her sister's voice, Wuli could only swallow the request she was about to make with a lonely look.

After all, he vaguely felt that his sister seemed to want to attract Mr. Luo Mu's attention, but he couldn't steal it from his sister.

Wu Li picked up the honey-wrapped insect and took a few steps back to make way for Dan Yu.

Luo Mu did not miss this scene. He thought about it thoughtfully and accepted Dan Yu's kindness.

"Thank you."

Luo Mu took out three apples from the fruit basket, handed one to the fruit-gnawing worm, the other to the monarch snake, and kept the remaining one to taste.

When the apple enters your mouth, the just-right crunchiness of the flesh and the sweet and sour juice burst out in your mouth. In terms of taste, it is indeed very good.

Compared with the small piece that Sean gave Luo Mu to taste, the freshly picked Beishangxiang apples are undoubtedly more delicious. It is not unreasonable for them to enjoy a certain degree of popularity around the world.

Hearing Luo Mu's praise, Dan Yu became even more proud.

Wuli and Honeyworm silently shared an apple without saying a word.

The Monarch Snake finished tasting the apple gracefully and left a comment that it was okay.

The unique growing techniques here may make the apples more distinctive, but to the monarch snake, the apples produced on the farm are the most delicious.

Especially when his godson matures.

The reaction of fruit-gnawing insects is even more intriguing.

It burrowed into the apple brought by Dan Yu at lightning speed. After eating the pulp, Dan Yu thought that the fruit-gnawing insect would definitely choose this apple produced in Beishang Township as its new home.

After all, the apples from Beishang Township are the best in the world.

But the facts left Dan Yu in confusion.

After catching its larvae in the apples produced in Beishang Township and eating half of its fill, the fruit-eating worm returned to its own apple without any hesitation.

It was as if the apples in Beishang Township were not as good as the one it was staying in.

Even Wu Li widened his eyes in shock.

There are fruit-eating worms that would not choose to settle in the apples produced in Beishang Township?

In doubt, sister Danyu brought Luo Mu and brother Wu Li to the center of Apple Hill.

There is a towering tree here, which is probably taller than several floors. It is hard to imagine that an apple tree can grow so high. This is not scientific at all.

A large number of fruit-eating worms gathered on the tree. Although the moves mastered by the fruit-eating worms are definitely more than those of Magikarp, they are not much more.

The moves they mastered are basically not very powerful, and many fruit-eating worms do not even master the egg moves, which leads to the fact that they tend to use their bodies to collide with each other in battles. Whoever is stronger can stay on this tree.

This also led to the frequent falling of defeated fruitworms from the trees like dumplings.

Fortunately, the fruitworms' apple shells were strengthened by themselves, so they would only feel dizzy after falling from a height, and would not be hurt.

At this moment, many residents of Cuilv Town gathered in the area next to the big tree. When they saw the fruitworms getting closer to the top of the tree, they applauded.

The arrival of Luo Mu and the other two attracted their attention, but they only looked at Wu Li and Dan Yu, and then looked at Luo Mu for a long time with a scrutinizing look.

Then they turned their heads and continued to watch the fight between the fruitworms above.

Dan Yu, who noticed this, whispered to Luo Mu: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo Mu. Everyone in the town is a little stubborn and xenophobic. I looked at you for so long because I suddenly saw a strange face."

"Xenophobic?"

Luo Mu tilted his head.

Doesn't Cuilv Town often sell agricultural products to the outside world and also conduct tourism business?

How can it be xenophobic?

What kind of contradictory literature.

Danyu looked around, nodded slightly, and lowered his voice and said: "But Mr. Luo Mu, you are our guest. As long as you don't do anything that touches their nerves, there will be no problem."

"."

Luo Mu was speechless.

What era is this? Why is there still such a thing as xenophobia?

He didn't ask what "touch their nerves" meant. Luo Mu was too lazy to think so much. Anyway, he would leave after playing here for a few days, so he might as well focus on watching the fight between the fruit gnawers above.

As the fruit gnawers on the tree became fewer and fewer, the fruit gnawers that climbed faster had the opportunity to touch the special apples that looked very conspicuous compared to ordinary apples.

It was an apple that looked mostly green, as if it was half-cooked.

Danyu didn't speak, but looked at Wuli.

Wuli's eyes lit up slightly, and he tried to explain in a low voice: "That is a sour apple, which can make the fruit gnawer evolve into an apple dragon."

After Wuli finished speaking, a dazzling light bloomed on the big tree above.

It was the light of evolution.

Everyone's eyes were focused there, and when the light faded, a flying Pokémon appeared in their sight.

Its appearance was like a newly hatched reptile, except that it was wrapped in an apple peel instead of an eggshell.

Some peels were attached to its hands and turned into wings, some peels were attached to its tail and turned into tail fins, and some peels were on its head like a helmet.

One of the evolutionary branches of the fruit-eating worm, Apple Wrap!

Then, another fruit-eating worm touched the item called Sweet Apple introduced by Wu Li.

The light bloomed and disappeared, and a Pokémon that looked like a turtle at first glance fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

Most of the apple peel disappeared, and the fruit-eating worm's body bulged, looking a little fat.

On its high bulge, it was covered with woven fruit pie lace, and the part that looked like an ear was its eye.

It was still one of the evolutionary branches of the fruit-eating worm, Feng Mi Long!

Then, there were fewer and fewer fruit-eating worms on the tree, until an apple-wrapped dragon and a honey-dragon evolved. The fruit-eating worms seemed to know that the opportunity for evolution had been used up, so they climbed down one after another and returned to their own "homes" on the Apple Hill.

And the townspeople with joyful faces also smiled and dispersed, chatting about something.

But when they passed by Luo Mu, Danyu and Wuli, these people shut their mouths and walked past without saying a word. When they were a certain distance away, they started discussing directly again.

"Sorry, they don't want outsiders to know the secret of apple planting in Cuilv Town."

Danyu apologized to Luo Mu in a low voice.

Luo Mu didn't care either. It was nothing more than the ripening characteristics of the fruit-eating worms supplemented by some other conditions. Even if they didn't say it, he knew it.

He just asked curiously: "After watching for a long time, it seems that there is no evolution of the honey-wrapped worm."

Hearing this, Danyu and Wuli were silent.

After a while, Wuli whispered, "Because... they don't want these fruit-eating bugs to evolve into honey-coating bugs. Before the fruit-eating bugs gather, someone will pick the honey apples first and then destroy them."

"Because... after evolving into honey-coating bugs, they can't make apples more delicious."

"Ali... you kid!"

Danyu was somewhat helpless. She did not expect Wu Li to tell all the bad things about the townspeople and the secret of the delicious apples.

Picking up the fruitworm, Luo Mu calmly replied, "It is a ripening characteristic. I do not think it is a secret."

"Because I also run a farm, and the apples where the fruitworm lives now are ripe apples. The taste is no different from the apples in Beishang Township."

The two were slightly stunned.

They never thought that Luo Mu had known about it for a long time, and that Luo Mu had also opened a farm.

Isn't he a teacher at Orange Academy?

But Wu Li was a little excited, thinking that he was indeed the person he admired. He was a teacher, a trainer, and a farmer. His achievements in three directions were so great!

Danyu took a while to accept the reality. She sighed helplessly and said, "I also learned this from my grandparents."

"This behavior probably started not long after the fruit-eating worms were introduced to Cuilv Town a few decades ago. The townspeople who discovered this secret have been doing this repeatedly."

"As for A Li's honeyworms, you can tell Mr. Luo Mu yourself."

Danyu took a step back and pulled Wu Li in front of Luo Mu.

Wu Li hugged the honeyworms and whispered, "Maybe I'm lucky. One day when I was walking with the fruitworms, I just picked up a honey apple that fell from the tree and brought it back to Blueberry Academy as food for the fruitworms."

"But when the fruitworms finished eating the apples and drilled into them, evolution occurred. With the help of the teachers, the name of the honeyworms and the information that it was the third evolutionary branch of the fruitworms were determined."

"With the research direction, the teachers found other honey apples, cultivated honeyworms, and even made the honeyworms complete the evolution again. They are much better than me."

Listening to Wu Li's explanation, Luo Mu was silent for a long time.

At this time, he didn't know what to say.

Because of the selfish desires of the townspeople of Cuilv Town, the evolutionary route of the honeyworm, which should have appeared a long time ago, was hidden for so long, and was finally brought out by Wu Li by chance.

No wonder both Danyu and Wu Li felt guilty when they spoke.

As the few students in Cuilv Town who entered the Blueberry Academy, they obviously knew that this was wrong.

But they had no intention of stopping it, but Luo Mu knew it instead.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Luo Mu shook his head helplessly and gave the two a way out.

"We came a little late today. Let's talk about the evolution of the fruitworm tomorrow. Now let's go back to Mr. Xue Zhong's house for lunch."

After speaking, Luo Mu looked at the fruitworm in his arms and the monarch snake beside him, asking for their opinions.

The monarch snake didn't care, but the fruitworm was a little entangled after seeing three types of its own evolution with his own eyes, and had not made a decision yet.

Wuli and Danyu also felt hungry, so they walked down the steps that Luo Mu had given them, planning to go back to their grandparents' house for dinner.

Afternoon.

After a hearty meal, drinking the sweet but slightly bitter tea, Xue Zhong asked with a smile: "Where are you going this afternoon?"

Wuli and Danyu didn't say anything, but looked at Luo Mu.

Obviously.

Wherever Luo Mu wanted to go, they would take him there.

"Well, first I want to see the Baoban Square built for the three Baobans." Luo Mu touched his chin and thought, and suddenly the scene he saw on Lingyou's horse appeared in his mind, and he simply asked: "By the way, I seemed to see the top of a mountain glowing before entering the village, do you know anything?"
