Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Chapter 50 Paras Wants to Evolve

"what!"

The girl was startled.

Turning around, she saw a handsome older brother and felt relieved. Trustingly, she said, "It's Paras... Ah! Paras, don't eat it!"

While she wasn't paying attention, Paras stuffed the mud off his paws into his mouth, bulging it out as he tried to swallow it with difficulty.

"Pie, pie—"

Paras made a sound of discomfort, but it was muffled because his mouth was full of dirt. The thick mushrooms on his back seemed to be wriggling in discomfort as he ate.

"What... what's going on..." the girl said sadly, seeing Paras in such a state. "Before, Paras was perfectly normal. He was a bit greedy, but he never wanted to eat everything he saw..."

Ze Shu paused for a moment, looking at Paras, whose mouth was stuffed full.

The fertile soil brimming with flowers and the sap from tree trunks should be considered excellent food and nutrition for Paras. However, most Paras will not eat soil unless they are extremely hungry.

"Paras, it might be evolving," Ze Shu said, somewhat puzzled.

Moreover, the Paras was very wary of his appearance and stayed close to the girl.

"Evolution?" the girl asked, confused. She didn't really understand this concept, but she still said, "Daddy said Paras can't evolve! Paras, are you eating these things to evolve? Please don't evolve..."

"Pai..." Paras's voice was low and dejected as he looked at the little girl before him with a complex expression. He then shook his head firmly, swallowing the dirt in his mouth. "Pai!"

It really wants to evolve!

Ze Shu frowned.

Paras probably won't evolve on its own, right?

After all, once Paraster evolves into Paraster, the insect that dominated Paraster's era will basically die, and the mushroom on its back will become the one controlling Paraster's body.

"Big brother..." The girl suddenly looked up, pursed her lips, and asked, "What will happen if Paras evolves? Daddy has never told me..."

"As for evolution..." Ze Shu thought for a moment, but still said what he wanted to say, "After Paras evolves, it can be said that it will die once."

He explained what happened after Paras evolved into Paraster. During the process, he also learned that the girl's name was Miko.

"Huh?!" Miko's eyes widened. "Damn it..."

Listen to Ze Shu speak without reservation.

"Pie, pie!"

Paras spat out mud incoherently, yet still cried out anxiously and frantically, shaking his head vigorously, trying to deny Ze Shu's words.

"It's fine."

Ze Shu smiled, squatted down in front of Paras, and touched its thin, dry carapace and the plump mushrooms on its back.

Paras is often tempted by the mushrooms growing on its back to constantly replenish its nutrients, which makes it "gluttonous". However, most of the so-called nutrients are supplied to the mushrooms on its back as evolutionary storage.

This Paras has clearly been well cared for, as the mushrooms on its back are growing very vigorously.

"Can you tell me why you're so eager to evolve?"

"Pie, pie!"

Paras was unwilling to tell Ze Shu, and in fact, it was very wary of Ze Shu.

As Ze Shu stroked it, it kept backing away, its raised claws constantly on guard.

But perhaps lacking combat experience, it hesitated. The mushroom on its back twitched, revealing a faint, drowsy spore scent in a panic.

Under stress, it even emitted occasional bursts of white light, a phenomenon associated with evolution.

We can't let it evolve now.

Ze Shu took out the Eternal Stone: "Put it on first."

Paras still refused, shaking his head vigorously, like a timid puppy cornered: "Pai..."

It even gritted its teeth and tried to attack Ze Shu with its claws.

But soon its claws, which it was about to attack, were frozen.

With Miko's exclamation, Glaceon, radiating a chilling aura, warned, "Eevee—"

Ze Shu fell silent for a moment; this was a bit difficult.

"Paras..." Miko didn't understand why Paras was so obsessed with evolving, and cried out in distress with tears in her eyes, "Please don't evolve, I don't want you, you..."

"Pie, pie!"

But Paras's expression grew increasingly anxious and impatient.

The light of evolution suddenly burst forth.

Miko's eyes widened: "No!"

She tried to hug Paras immediately, but Paras refused her. His body seemed to be gradually deforming in the white light, and the mushroom on his back seemed to be growing bigger and bigger.

then……

Paras' evolution was reverted by Ze Shu.

His eyes blazed with fire as he gripped the Everstone tightly against the mushroom on Paras's back. Enveloped in mad flames, the light of evolution seemed to be burning, before finally trembling a few times and vanishing.

"...Something's not right," Ze Shu said.

He looked at Paras, who was weak but still wanted to evolve.

In order to stop this guy's evolution, he used his ability after a long time, feeling a little hot.

Ze Shu was somewhat irritable:

"If you evolve any further, I'll gag you, break your mushrooms, and tie you to the wall for the rest of your life."

"Tell me, why do we need to evolve!"

Miko instinctively cried out, "No..."

Paras was so frightened that he was trembling violently.

But it still refused to speak.

Stubborn as Tauros.

Ze Shu was speechless. He wanted to respect the fate of Paras and let it evolve to end it all. But seeing the girl's tearful eyes, he couldn't let go of his desire to help.

He could only point at Miko with frustration: "This little girl is your closest person, isn't she?"

Paras nodded subconsciously: "Paras..."

Ze Shu decisively said, "If you don't talk, I'll break her legs too!"

Miko: "Huh?!"

Paras's eyes widened in alarm: "Paras?!"

Looking at Ze Shu's devilish face, its mind went blank, but its body still trembled as it protected Miko.

"Will you tell me or not?" Ze Shu simply repeated.

"Buee—" Glaceon raised its head in response, its body radiating an absolute zero temperature.

"..."

Miko said cautiously, "Paras, just say it, Miko... Miko doesn't want her legs broken either..."

Paras gave in: "Parry, paralyze—"

As it recounted its aggrieved story, Ze Shu's expression shifted from speechless to even more speechless:

"this one?"

Earlier, while Paras was playing around, he overheard two strangers having a furtive conversation hidden in a corner.

They want to seize the Valley Power Plant, which is not far from Huayuan Town, so they kidnap the daughters of the employees inside in order to get the employees to open the gate for them.

And coincidentally, Miko's father was an employee of the Valley Power Plant.

This made Paras very panicked, but it was very weak.

So they want to evolve to protect Miko.

"You, you, you—" Ze Shu angrily poked Paras's head, speechless. "What's in your head? You're even dumber than my Six-Tails."

The Six-Tails, bewildered by the scolding, looked on: "Huh??"

Ze Shu was still poking Paras: "Are you stupid?!"

"With so many good options, why insist on evolving? Will you be strong after evolving?"

wrong.

Ze Shu suddenly thought of something and looked at the thick, almost overflowing mushrooms on Paras's back.

Perhaps Paras isn't stupid, but rather misled.

He snorted:

"I've taken these mushrooms apart for you! We'll use them to make soup."
