Pokémon: The Journey Begins with a Cowherd

Chapter 50 Battle in the Jungle

After drinking the medicine, Qingyuan felt warm all over.

It took more than ten minutes for this feeling to disappear.

"Wuhu! That feels great!"

Qingyuan sat under the tree and lazily stretched.

Seeing that Scorpion and Mantis were both looking at him, Qingyuan stood up and said.

"Alright, you've all had enough rest, right?"

"Groo-wa!"

"Sha!"

Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scorpion and Mantis both nodded in agreement.

"Shall we continue on our way?"

"Clatter!"

"Sha!"

Scorpion and Scyther nodded in agreement once more.

"Then let's go!"

After saying that, Qingyuan hoisted the Scorpion beside him onto his shoulder.

This time he learned his lesson: in the perilous wilderness, he must never let an elf stray more than a step away from him.

Even if it's time to switch roles, he has to run to the Pokémon's side to switch.

He didn't want to experience death a second time.

And so, with the help of Scorpion and Scyther.

Qingyuan successfully advanced fifteen li westward before noon.

Commanding Scyther, he defeated yet another Rattata that attacked him.

Qingyuan looked at the sun overhead, then went to a shady spot under a tree and spoke to the Scyther and Scorpion.

"It's noon, come over and rest and have something to eat!"

"Clatter!"

"Sha!"

Scorpion and Mantis wholeheartedly agreed with Qingyuan's words.

We drove all morning, and even though the two elves took turns, they were still exhausted.

Moreover, while clearing the road, Pokémon would occasionally appear to block the way, and these Pokémon were quite powerful.

High-intensity clearing of paths, coupled with high-intensity combat.

Scorpio and Scythe, who were already exhausted, became even more tired.

That's why they only covered such a short distance after walking all morning.

The matter of clearing the way is a minor issue; the main problem is that there are too many sprites blocking the way.

Basically, you have to fight a battle every two or three hundred meters, and each Pokémon is at least level 20.

Although Qingyuan reaped considerable rewards as a result, capturing several Pokémon with good potential and considerable strength.

But at this pace of travel, by the time he leaves this place, let alone a month, two months might have already passed.

So Qingyuan had already rejected this path from the bottom of his heart.

They're still on their way, just a little reluctant to give up, in case this is the only stretch of land with lots of elves.

Perhaps after walking another two or three miles, we'll reach an area where elves are sparse, and then we can travel quickly.

He planned to walk another five miles, if the density of elves did not decrease.

He then returned the way he came, rested at the camp for the night, and planned to explore the western route the next day.

If none of the routes work, then he will have no choice but to return the way he came and take the main road again.

"My strength is still too low!"

Qingyuan looked at the self-heating rice in front of him and thought to himself with some displeasure.

If he were strong enough, he could walk straight through the depths of the forest and arrive at Kuye City right now.

There's no need to go through all that trouble here just to make a passable road.

"Sigh! You all need to grow up quickly!"

Qingyuan sighed and said to the two little ones in front of him.

"Gl?"

"Sha?"

Both Scorpion and Mantis were completely confused by Qingyuan's words.

After thinking about it carefully but still not figuring it out, I looked at the delicious fairy food in the bowl.

The hungry Scorpion and Mantis decided to ignore Qingyuan for now and wait until they had filled their stomachs.

Anyway, they've seen Qingyuan act crazy more than once or twice.

Seeing that neither Scorpion nor Scyther paid any attention to him, Qingyuan felt a little embarrassed.

Just then, the self-heating rice was ready, and to cover up his embarrassment, Qingyuan buried his head in his rice, just like Scorpion and Mantis.

"Meow!"

Just as Qingyuan was engrossed in eating, a pitiful meow suddenly came from afar.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

"Buzz!"

Then came a jumble of noises.

Qingyuan slowly raised his head, casually wiped the rice grains off his face, and whispered to Scorpion and Mantis.

"Shall we go take a look?"

Scorpion and Scyther didn't say anything, but they both nodded in unison.

After reaching a consensus, Qingyuan did not hesitate. He picked up Scorpion, bent over, and walked towards the direction from which the sound came.

Because the Scyther was too big for Qingyuan to carry, it could only follow behind Qingyuan.

Qingyuan carried Scorpion forward for about fifty meters and saw what was happening through the gaps in the bushes.

The leader of the cats was running away while fighting back against the pursuers behind him.

The pursuers were a dozen or so Beedrills, but when faced with Cat Boss, these Beedrills only dared to follow behind and use their poison stings.

Every now and then a few would rush forward, only to be easily defeated by the cat leader.

"Meow!"

Gradually, perhaps due to poisoning, the cat's speed slowed down.

The bee-like hordes leisurely lingered behind it, preparing to wear it down to death.

Realizing he couldn't escape, the eldest cat ran to a big tree.

It leaped up and landed on the tree trunk, then did a backflip.

The metal claws and iron tail were used almost simultaneously, instantly eliminating the two Beedrill.

It then used a Power Gem to quickly take down another Beedrill.

The whole sequence of movements was executed flawlessly, and it was only after the Beedrill and the others had reacted that the situation became clear.

By this time, the cat leader had already retreated quickly, bracing its back against a tree, thus thwarting Beedrill and the others' attempt to launch a sneak attack.

"Amazing!"

Seeing this from the bushes, Qingyuan couldn't help but cheer for Cat Boss.

Based on this set of movements alone, he knew that this cat leader was quite strong and had a wealth of combat experience.

Without his command, even if Scorpion and Scyther team up, they probably wouldn't be a match for this cat boss.

This cat is quite different from the teddy bear in Zhemutian.

After thinking it over, Qingyuan continued to look towards the battlefield, wanting to know whether the cat boss could escape alive.

After all, those Beedrill were clearly high-level. Even a level 40 Pokémon might have to lose to these guys.

Qingyuan took out the rice he hadn't finished eating and started watching the rare battle while eating it.

Upon seeing this, Scorpion and Mantis immediately had the same thought flash through their minds.

"I should have brought the food over too!"

"You two watch closely and learn from this!"

With rice in his mouth, Qingyuan chewed while reminding Scorpion and Mantis.

Upon hearing this, Scorpion and Scyther quickly snapped out of their daze and began to watch closely as Persian battled a swarm of Beedrill.

It must be said that Cat Boss has a wealth of practical experience.

It made full use of the surrounding space, climbing trees from time to time to evade Beedrill attacks while simultaneously delivering a devastating blow to the beedrill from above.

According to Qingyuan's calculations, every time Cat Boss comes down from the tree, he can take away at least one Beedrill.

Under the control of this cat boss, the dust on the ground and the leaves on the trees all become props for launching its next attack.

Qingyuan was thoroughly enjoying the view from behind the bushes.

However, as time went on, the toxins in the cat's body began to take effect.

Its movements became slower and slower, and finally, when only three Beedrill remained, the cat boss collapsed to the ground with a face full of resentment.
