Chapter 1258

Buzz buzz buzz~~

The Beedrill's wings, thin as cicada wings, vibrated at high speed, emitting a series of buzzing sounds.

Trainers who usually enter the Viridian Forest try their best to avoid conflict with this group of overlords in the forest, and they would rather go around them than provoke them.

After all, Beedrill are famous for being irritable, territorial, and numerous. Once provoked, the entire Beedrill colony of hundreds or thousands would be dispatched to attack the provoker in a group.

Their flight speed is extremely fast, and the twin needles and the poison needle on the tail have extremely troublesome toxins. No human or Pokémon wants to provoke this group of bullies in the forest.

However, it was this group of "gangsters" in the forest that showed kindness in front of Su Hao that almost no one could see with their own eyes.

The Beedrill leader took out a jar full of crystal-clear honey that seemed to emit light in the sun and handed it to Su Hao. The honey was brewed by themselves.

As for the jar, it was snatched from some unlucky trainer, which was not a big problem.

Su Hao took the Beedrill leader's "goodwill" in a daze, his expression weird.

Do they give gifts when they meet? It made him feel embarrassed.

"Spi~~"

The Beedrill leader was very happy that Su Hao accepted their gift expressing goodwill.

It circled Su Hao with concern, looking left and right, but didn't see any other Pokémon.

This won't do. It's not good for one person to wander around in such a dangerous forest.

Fortunately, they encountered their Beedrill colony that had lived in the Viridian Forest for generations. If they encountered those outsiders who had only come to the Viridian Forest in recent years, those blind guys would definitely be unfavorable to this human who had a pleasant scent similar to the forest that raised them.

The Beedrill leader became more worried the more it thought about it, so it made a decision—

Except for some clansmen who had to stay behind to guard the territory, it would take its clansmen to escort this human!

Saying it would do it, the Beedrill leader immediately passed Su Hao and flew in front of him, protecting his safety like a loyal knight.

Half of the thousands of Beedrill were dispersed to other locations in the territory to continue guarding, while the other half, about five hundred Beedrill, followed behind Su Hao and the Beedrill leader, quietly vibrating their wings.

Su Hao: "........."

The Viridian Force allowed him to perceive the state of mind of Pokémon. This Beedrill leader at the early Gym level and hundreds of Beedrill of various levels actually intended to be his bodyguards. Was this treatment a bit too terrifying?

Imagine a group of "fierce and evil" Beedrill clearing the way for him. Let alone blind Pokémon, even teams of human trainers would have to go around him, right?

Returning to the Viridian Forest was like returning home, and there was a group of bodyguards who volunteered. Was this treatment too high?

Su Hao felt secretly refreshed, feeling like a playboy in ancient times, leading a large group of "guards" to run rampant.

"Have you heard? The notorious Beedrill colony in the northern area of the Viridian Forest, known as the 'Black Evil Colony', has started to move."

"'Black Evil'? What a strange title. Which idiot came up with it?"

"Legend has it that when they attack intruders in their territory in a group, the terrifying number of groups is like a black evil spirit sweeping in, hence the name Black Evil. Adventurers and trainers who come to the Viridian Forest to hunt for treasure and explore will consciously avoid their territory."

"Hiss... then what do you mean?"

"This group of guys has started to move irregularly. It is said that some trainer groups saw them from afar and were so scared that they fled the Viridian Forest directly, fearing they would meet them."

"......."

This was a conversation between two trainer teams that had a brief contact in the Viridian Forest. At this very moment, countless such conversations were spreading in the empty Viridian Forest at an incredible speed.

In the border area of the northwest region of the Viridian Forest, a team that had just set off not long ago also heard the news.

This team was composed of students from the Exploration Department of Jiangcheng University who were currently in the limelight. The team members were almost all freshmen who had just entered school this year, led by a senior in his fourth year with rich exploration experience and a senior in his fourth year from the Combat Department responsible for the bottom line.

Coincidentally, the senior from the Combat Department responsible for leading them this time was Li Xiao.

He was the captain of the current Jiangcheng University school team, a member of the champion team of the previous university league, and the son of the current Fire-type Elite Four Li Luoyan. Whether in terms of status or strength, he was at the peak among his peers.

With him at the bottom, these rookies who had just entered their freshman year were very at ease.

Li Xiao looked at Yang Sheng, who had just finished communicating with another team they encountered by chance, and asked: "How is it? What did they say?"

Yang Sheng nodded, told the news she heard from there with a solemn face, and added: "With our strength, it's better to avoid those Beedrill. It's very difficult to protect so many people while fighting hundreds or thousands of Beedrill."

Yang Sheng looked at the dozen or so freshman students behind her who had clear and stupid eyes and thought they were on a trip, and her eyes were full of worry about the future.

Li Xiao agreed with Yang Sheng's proposal. These freshman students who were not from the Combat Department had very few Elite-level Pokémon. The only ones who could be counted as combat power were himself, Yang Sheng, and Lin Ke, a senior in the fourth year of the Cultivation Department who was responsible for logistics and was Li Xiao's girlfriend.

If they encountered a slightly larger Pokémon colony, let alone fighting back, it would probably be difficult to ensure that everyone could retreat unscathed.

Fortunately, they only operated on the outskirts of the Viridian Forest, and the wild Pokémon they encountered were at most Professional-level and a very small number of Gym-level, otherwise Li Xiao wouldn't dare to take on this burden.

After all, when he was training in the field, he accidentally strayed into the territory of an Elite-level Hydreigon in the interior of the Viridian Forest. He still had lingering fears when he thought about that life-and-death crisis.

Li Xiao released a humanoid Pokémon with a strong physique and an appearance like a rabbit, and said to it: "Cinderace, the surrounding environment is left to you to guard."

"Bace."

Cinderace nodded slightly, but before it could act, a slightly panicked female voice rang out: "Li Xiao, it's not good!"

"The Meowscarada I sent to scout the environment said that a large group of Beedrill is heading in our direction. In a few minutes, they will be close!"

Lin Ke's voice made Li Xiao and Yang Sheng's faces change drastically. How could there be such a coincidence in the world!?
