Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

"No, the four of them definitely can't stop it with just the Desert Dragonflies."

Lu Ming made an instant judgment and immediately threw out the Poké Ball, releasing the rogue crocodile that had been hiding for a long time.

"Rogue Crocodile, you are the only one who can hope to block this attack, please."

The latter has evil attributes and is immune to psychic skills at the same level.

Even though there is a huge difference in levels at this moment and it is impossible to be completely immune, the killing effect can be reduced to a minimum, even lower than the effect of four times resistance.

However, even with huge resistance, it still seems insignificant in the face of the absolute level gap.

As soon as the rogue crocodile was released, it felt the fatal threat, and immediately mobilized the energy of the advanced "black glasses", amplifying its own evil energy to the extreme and wrapping it all around its body.

The next moment, when the extremely dazzling pink energy fell, it instantly melted the black evil energy around the rogue crocodile that had a restraining effect.

The rogue crocodile let out a cry of pain and was about to collapse. Several elves around Lu Ming also exerted their strength at the same time and came forward to support it.

After a short stalemate, the five "senior-level" elves had exhausted all their skills and could only resist with their bodies.

Fortunately, the five major elves shared the burden at the same time, and the evil-attributed Rogue Crocodile was the closest to the front and took the most damage, and finally offset the super-energy pressure.

Thanks to its evil attributes, the damage was minimized. If other elves were standing in the front, they would probably have died on the spot.

However, although everyone worked together to block this attack, the physical strength of all the elves was exhausted and they all looked listless.

Now Lu Ming's five main forces are all seriously injured and extremely weak. They need to find a safe place to hide.

He looked at his surroundings and found himself teleported to a glacier.

Lu Ming was too nervous to react just now, and now he immediately felt cold. He quickly took out clothes from his space backpack and changed into them before starting to look for a safe place.

Since the five elves had all run out of strength, Lu Ming first released the golden steel snake in good condition to guard them.

He fed the five Pokémon some healing tree fruits and then sent them back into their Poké Balls one by one to rest.

Fortunately, there is no overly powerful existence in this glacier, and the steel attribute of Steelix has a restraining effect on the ice elves living here.

With this golden giant snake leading the way, Lu Ming's situation at the moment was not too difficult.

Finally, after walking on the glacier for a while late at night, we found the cave of a long-haired pig that had just reached the "senior level".

Afterwards, Steelix defeated the Longhaired Pig and captured it, and also found a temporary habitat.

After resting, Lu Ming first fed some "medicine" to several damaged elves, and then entered the desert space.

At this moment, the desert space has expanded to two thousand square meters, and standing in the three places with the previous mysterious altar and observatory is just a small shrine.

That’s right! This is what Lu Ming had found after being guided by the pink mist.

The shrine is about one meter high and is inconspicuous compared to the mysterious altar and the observatory.

When I got closer, I found that there was a merit box in front of the shrine, and a blue incense burner inside.

"Could this be 'Sea Tide Incense'?"

This is a very unique item, with abilities similar to the "Mysterious Water Drop", which can enhance the affinity and power of water elements.

However, judging from the energy emitted by this "Sea Tide Incense", it has not only reached intermediate quality, but is also very close to high quality, even only one step away.

The thing that attracted a group of water-attributed elves before should be the "Sea Tide Incense" produced in this shrine.

Lu Ming took out the intermediate-level "mysterious water drop" he got from Yaoqin, and found that although they were both intermediate-level, the energy difference between them was almost more than several times.

If this "Sea Tide Incense" can be improved further, it may be able to be upgraded to a high-quality item.

By then, not only will the total amount become larger, but the quantitative change will also lead to qualitative changes, thus providing the wearing elves with more refined energy quality.

Lu Ming guessed that the function of this shrine was to improve the quality of incense, but more research was needed.

However, at this moment, the "mysterious water drop" in his hand suddenly vibrated faintly, as if it was connected to the incense in the shrine.

An idea flashed through Lu Ming's mind, and he immediately aimed the "Mysterious Water Drop" at the "Sea Tide Incense", but nothing happened.

Lu Ming scratched his head, then looked thoughtfully at the integrated merit box.

The next moment, when he tried to put the "mysterious water drop" into the morality box, a sea-blue light lit up and gradually spread to the "ocean tide incense".

After a while, the energy on the "mysterious water drop" gradually faded until it completely lost its energy fluctuations and shattered into pieces.

The energy of the "Sea Tide Incense", which is already close to high-quality, is soaring all the way, and it seems to be about to break through the grade.

But at the critical moment of the treasure's promotion, the light began to dim gradually, as if it lacked the stamina to support the promotion to high-level quality.

So Lu Ming hurriedly opened the package to take out the treasures, and "sacrificed" the water-attributed treasures or resources such as the "Water Gem" he had obtained in the secret realm one after another!

The light source became increasingly thin and brighter, and the top-level intermediate-quality "Sea Tide Incense" was finally promoted to a high-level item that was not inferior to the "Black Glasses" after emitting an extremely refreshing fragrance.

"Haha~, I see! The function of this shrine is to increase the level of the incense inside, at the cost of consuming items or materials of the same attribute."

The higher the quality of the resources, the rarer and more precious they are. Not to mention props of high quality, even attribute gems are extremely popular and in short supply.

As for the props that have reached high quality, once they appear in the world, they will be divided up by the core descendants of the aristocratic families.

Unless ordinary people have a chance to defy fate, there is no way for them to obtain it.

But now, Lu Ming has a shrine that can continuously enhance the quality of props, and his future prospects are immeasurable.

In other words, the resources required to upgrade top-quality props are extremely astonishing, otherwise Lu Ming would have wanted to give it a try to see if he could get a top-quality prop.

At this moment, Lu Ming, who was holding a high-level "Sea Tide Incense", couldn't help but deepen his desire to capture a water-attribute elf.

Chapter 189 Conquering the Water Jumping Fish

In the ice cave, the space suddenly shook, and Lu Ming and a group of elves appeared again.

But at this moment, Lu Ming no longer had the seriousness he had when he had just escaped danger. Instead, he was filled with unconcealable joy.

Before he entered the secret realm, he just wanted to obtain as many resources as possible, preferably to subdue a potential water elf.

However, I didn't expect that by accident, the desert space would gain another powerful function.

From now on, mass production of high-quality props is no longer a dream, but it’s a pity that not all attributes have corresponding incense.

A day of fighting made Lu Ming very tired, so he asked the undamaged Golden Steelix and the One-horned Rhino to keep watch, while he and other elves including the Rogue Crocodile rested first.

The biting wind was like an ice knife. Lu Ming and his group squeezed into a sheltered depression in the ice cave, and the jumping campfire dispelled the biting cold.

During this period of time, although Lu Ming's physical condition has improved a lot due to the improvement of food, it is still not at the level of a super rookie and can hardly withstand the bitter cold.

At the same time, except for the Grunt, all other elves are ground-attributed and do not like ice and snow environments.

Especially the desert dragonflies, they feel uncomfortable just by being in the glacial environment.

Fortunately, Steelix relied on its steel-attributed body to ignore the extreme cold temperature, and also took the initiative to use its huge body to help block the wind and snow, making everyone's situation much better.

In addition, Lu Ming also brought a lot of wood in advance and asked the desert dragonfly to ignite it with "jet flame" to keep away the cold.

He huddled together with the rogue crocodile, desert dragonfly and other elves to recuperate, and dawn arrived in a daze.

Suddenly, the telekinetic clay doll and desert dragonfly, which had extremely strong detection capabilities, opened their eyes at the same time and reminded their companions to be on guard.

Sure enough, the next moment, there was a sudden piercing noise of sharp claws scraping against the ice surface and a beast-like roar outside the ice cave, instantly tearing the tranquility of the early morning!

Not long after, a small, panicked blue figure rolled in from the cave entrance like a cannonball, carried by the cold wind!

It was wet all over, covered with ice and snow, its iconic orange head fin was tilted, and its big aqua blue eyes were filled with extreme fear.

"Click~~"

The little guy was in poor condition, his body covered with ice and snow, his two orange gills were crooked, and his round eyes were filled with panic and fear.

This elf is a water-leaping fish. The fins on its head are very sensitive radars, so it naturally sensed the presence of Lu Ming and his group.

But although it was very scared, it did not retreat immediately, and for a moment it seemed to be at a loss as to what to do.

Because right after that, three ghostly black shadows suddenly stopped on the ice at the entrance of the cave.

They were agile, with sharp claws extending from their paws, which flashed with cold light and plowed deep grooves in the ice, several of which were actually Niula.

I think they mistook the water-leaping fish for prey and chased it all the way here.

These Niuras are quite powerful, all of them are of "excellent" level. Working together, they can be considered a rare and powerful force on this glacier.

However, after feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the ice cave where Lu Ming was, he was still frightened and dared not move forward.

"Howl~~"

The giant steel snake guarding the cave entrance stretched out its ferocious head and roared, instantly scaring away the hesitant Nuras.

The water-leaping fish was also frightened, but at this moment it didn't even have the strength to escape and fell down on the spot.

"Huh~, it's a water-leaping fish! Why would there be a water-leaping fish in a glacial environment? Shouldn't it be in the swamp area?"

Lu Ming was slightly surprised by the appearance of the leaping fish, and then he carried it back into the ice cave.

Relative tranquility returned to the ice cave, with only the crackling sound of the burning campfire and... the shivering little blue figure huddled under the warm fur of Circle Bear.

When the water-leaping fish regained consciousness, Lu Ming handed it a plump "orange fruit" and said:

"Eat it! At your current level, the energy of one Orange Fruit is enough to restore you to a considerable level."

The tempting sweet fragrance instantly penetrated the nose of the leaping fish, and its little stomach immediately made a "gurgling" sound.

It looked at the fruit so close to it, then at Lu Ming's kind eyes, and the last trace of its vigilance finally completely collapsed.

The water-leaping fish stretched out its little paws and grabbed it, and couldn't wait to start chewing it, making a satisfied "crunch, crunch" sound.

"Tell me, why are you, a water-leaping fish, not staying in the swamp but on this glacier?"

"Click~Click~~"

Shuiyueyu had recovered some strength at this moment, and began to talk incessantly.

With the telepathy of the telekinetic clay doll as a translator, Lu Ming quickly figured out the cause and effect.

It turns out that this water-leaping fish was indeed born in a swamp area in the secret wetland. Even its mother was an extremely powerful giant swampert who once dominated that area.

However, the good times did not last long. A new powerful being emerged in the swamp area and defeated Swampert's mother.

The water-leaping fish also wandered out later and drifted downstream to this glacial area.

Lu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this. It sounded like the so-called swamp area wasn't very far away, and with the water-leaping fish leading the way, he should be able to find it and get some rewards.

After all, that place should be where water and ground-type Pokémons gather, and humans haven't been capturing them for a long time, so he should be able to obtain a lot of "ground gems" through sacrifice.
