Chapter 28 The Reason
Chapter 28 The Reason
Inside the cave, by the campfire, Qi Hao was roasting beef and mutton (skewers).
"This is incredibly delicious, you absolutely must try it." Qi Hao placed the storage box beside him, took out the only ingredients inside, and made them into skewers. After all, since he had eaten their food, it was only right to return the favor.
"Huh? (What is this? Why is it so black and shiny?)" The aluminum steel dragon, who had been forced to eat the skewer that Qi Hao had stolen from him, took the skewer that was almost charred and looked surprised.
"Roar? (Can't you speak properly? It's the hardest thing for the whole tribe to hear you.)" Old Aluminum Steel Dragon said, patting his head.
"Roar! (What do you know! I, Lü Gang, am an educated man!)" After saying that, he took a bite of Qi Hao's grilled skewer. "╭(°A°`)╮Roar! (Strange, this thing tastes bitter and slightly spicy, the outside is so crispy, but the inside is completely raw. Whose subordinate are you anyway! Yue! You waste so many seasoned tree fruits like this!)"
Even so, I forced myself to swallow it down despite feeling nauseous.
"Aluminum-steel? Is it really that hasty?"
"Roar! (Lu Gang! Lu as in Lu Bu!)"
“(???;)\u003d3\u003d3\u003d3Hmph! (Never mind! I don't want to talk to you about this. You wait here, I'll go get some food and I'll roast it! You can contribute your tree fruit.)” After saying that, he walked into the cave.
"So, is there any difference in how your name sounds?"
"Roar! (This kid, I've never seen him this serious except when cooking.)" The old aluminum dragon then looked at Qi Hao and the other two Pokémon. "You two came from the south? Aren't you afraid of encountering any dangers by staying in the forest so late?"
"Chirp... (I live in the forest, I just dig a hole in the ground and go to sleep.)" The mouse scratched its head, unconcerned, then lay down on the ground and went to sleep!
“Gold? (What could be more dangerous than my older brother?)” Xiao Tie said.
Then Qi Hao shook him and said, "How can you talk like that?"
Old Aluminum Steel Dragon fell silent, then seemed to notice something, staring at Little Iron from left to right, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.
"Jin? (What are you looking at?)" Xiao Tie felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"(*°w°*)? Huh? (Why aren't you flying, kid? Hey? Why are you still a single Steel type? That's weird, that's really weird. Is it innate?)" He had never heard of such a situation in all his years of life.
"Otherwise, why would we come looking for Magnemite in the middle of the night? If this problem isn't solved, it will be too inconvenient for us to move around."
"Huh? (Magnemite? Weren't they all driven away when we moved here?)" The Duraludon, still awake, asked.
"As expected, I guessed it when we came here," Qi Hao sighed.
"Gold? (Why?)" Xiao Tie asked, puzzled.
"Have you ever seen someone keep another person in their home? It's like keeping your own people in your own home."
"Roar. (If you had come a few months ago, you might have met them, but now we only have Aluminum Steel Dragons here.)" the old Aluminum Steel Dragon said, then its tone changed abruptly, "?_? Roar? (So what's your relationship with that guy in the south?)"
"Are you referring to my dad Kyurem or his dad, the leader of the Metagross pack?" Qi Hao pointed to himself and then to Xiao Tie.
In just a split second, the old aluminum-steel dragon made a decision entirely out of instinct!
Duang! X2
"Roar! (How did you two manage to bring back two little devils!)" Old Aluminum Steel Dragon gave Big Dragon and Second Dragon each a big punch.
“∑(?Д??)Roar! (Ah! How did we know?)” The dragon, whose head had been hit, covered his head and immediately put on a mask of pain.
"Roar! (What are you still yelling about! Shut up!)" The old aluminum steel dragon used the classic fatherly tactic: "Shut up!"
"It can't be that bad, can it?"
"Ha! (That's really true! I just happened to be passing by when your dad blasted down a mountain!)"
"Chirp? (What is that? Never mind, I'd better go back to sleep.)" (|3[▓▓] The mouse noticed something was wrong and then lay back down.)
“Roar… (As for you…)” Old Aluminum Steel Dragon stared at Little Iron again.
"Jin? (What's wrong?)"
"I still can't tell, after all, you all look pretty much the same to me." As he spoke, he placed his hand on Little Iron's head. "When you get back, remember to have your dad pay back the four catties of tree fruit he owes me."
"You know him?" Qi Hao asked, puzzled.
"Hey! (An old acquaintance! I even helped him pursue his wife! But we haven't seen each other for years, and he doesn't tell me what he's been up to.)"
"Jin..." Xiao Tie was speechless upon hearing this.
"Huh? (What's wrong?)" Old Aluminum Steel Dragon felt a little strange seeing Little Iron like this.
"Jin. (Nothing, just thinking about something.)" But Xiao Tie quickly smoothed things over and changed the subject, "Jin? (By the way, why did those two want to arrest us?)"
"Roar (uh)..." Old Aluminum Steel Dragon stroked his chin (or rather, he didn't have a chin) and pondered for a moment, but seeing Qi Hao's curious eyes, he roared, "Roar! (Never mind, it won't hurt to tell you.)"
“Roar (These past few days, several members of our tribe have been disappearing every day. At first, we thought they were just going out and would come back in a few days, but we only realized something was wrong when more than a dozen of our tribe members had disappeared.)” After saying that, he pointed to the aluminum steel dragon here.
"Roar... (These past few days, we've been taking turns on guard duty, half the people watching and half the people resting. Da Long and his group are the two strongest in our clan besides me. Although Er Long is a bit slow-witted, with Da Long leading the way, resolving this matter shouldn't be too difficult. After all, the missing are mostly low-level guys around level 30. They can also act as a patrol team. Of course, our clansmen haven't decreased in number these past few days, so Da Long and his group have been patrolling a wider area.)"
"So I was captured because I'm the only human you've ever seen around here?" Qi Hao looked at Da Long and Er Long.
Huh? (Otherwise, wouldn't it be strange to see someone stunning an elf with electricity late at night? Besides, it's not like we're supposed to take a little kid out of the forest at night.)
"Ah...that makes sense."
There was nothing to say for a while, and everyone probably felt there was nothing more to say, so they gradually began to rest.
The old aluminum steel dragon sat directly on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.
Qi Hao lay listlessly on the ground ∠( ? 」∠)_
Xiao Tie put the storage box away again and sat down, banging his hands together repeatedly. Yes, that's how kids are.
Everything was so peaceful...
"Why did Lü Gang take so long? Is the kitchen far from here?" Qi Hao turned over and looked at the old aluminum steel dragon.
Old Aluminum Steel Dragon also realized something was wrong: "Huh? (It's not far, just a short distance, why did it take so long?)"
"Let's go take a look." With that, he led the way inside, with Qi Hao and Xiao Tie following closely behind, Qi Hao also dragging the mouse along.
Mouse: "(??Д??) Chirp! (I'm going to sleep!)"
