Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

In desperation, Circle Bear had to swing its claws to cut off the green beam of light, and then turned to chop at the Gangster Crocodile, but it was too late.

"Touch~"

The cyclone formed by "Swallow Returns" slammed heavily into Circle Bear's chest. Before the latter could hug and grab it, the Hunhun Crocodile took advantage of the recoil force to leap backwards and jump away.

Circle Bear was about to catch up and engage in close combat, but he saw the Swamp King, who had just hidden far away, approaching again, with a ball of black mud condensed on his hands and smashed towards him.

"Pa~~"

"Throwing Mud" hit the Circle Bear's eyes. Although the damage was not high, it blocked its vision.

The Circle Bear began to panic and wanted to turn around and return to the depths of the cave first, but unexpectedly the Ultrasonic Larva shot down another "Dragon Breath" and hit it directly on the back.

"Roar~~"

It was also bad luck for Circle Bear. While this "Dragon Breath" caused damage, a golden light also flowed and flashed on its body.

"Paralysis" effect!

Seeing this scene, the three of them felt relieved at the same time, and the battle was stable.

"Dragon's Breath" has a certain chance of causing a "paralysis" effect, and now that it's taking effect on the Circle Bear, it also determines its fate in advance.

Affected by "paralysis", Circle Bear not only slowed down, but also fell into a state of stiffness soon after.

Kill it while it's sick. Under the siege of three elves, the Circle Bear quickly lost its ability to fight.

As the biggest contributor in this battle, Lu Ming walked to Circle Bear without any hesitation, squatted down and started to feel around.

Soon, Lu Ming found a soft, sand-like substance from the unconscious Circle Bear.

Strangely enough, when he placed the handful of sand in his hand, it felt very fine and soft, yet not a single drop of it escaped, as if the entire mass had been glued together.

"Soft sand!"

The two girls cried out in surprise at the same time, obviously recognizing the prop that looked like a ball of sand.

This kind of prop is similar to the "hard stone" and "sharp bird's beak", which can assist and enhance the ground energy and is very suitable for Lu Ming's team.

However, Lu Ming, who had seen good things before, could further feel that this soft sand was not of ordinary primary quality, but a mid-level quality item like the previous "sharp bird's beak".

At this moment, he finally understood why this bear could master so many ground moves and they were so powerful.

I think it was because of luck that Circle Bear discovered this intermediate-quality "soft sand" in Yuejian Mountain very early.

Then, after wearing it for a long time, he learned a series of ground moves and even enhanced his own ground attribute qualifications.

But fate has always been treacherous and unpredictable, and now this treasure worth millions has naturally become his trophy.

Lu Ming knew the value of the intermediate item and quickly put it into his space backpack. He then took out the Poké Ball and subdued the Turma before saying to the two girls:

"I defeated this circus bear almost by myself. I think you guys don't mind if I just tame it."

"How could that be? If it weren't for you this time, we wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. How could you be so ungrateful?" Si Yu said.

Ye Cang also nodded. Her Swamp King also had the ground attribute, and it was obvious that he was still obsessed with the "soft sand" from before.

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Okay, since you have no objection, let's divide the remaining 'Water Gems' equally among the three of us."

After hearing this, the two girls finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was much better than what they had previously guessed.

For Lu Ming, the value of the "Water Gem" is to help the gangster crocodile stimulate his latent genetic skill - "Water Tail", so he won't need it too much.

As expected, after helping their respective elves recover and heal, the three of them did some digging and found a total of more than thirty "Water Gems".

Although they were all of primary quality, the harvest had already exceeded Lu Ming's expectations. He then took away ten and said:

"Give the rest to you!"

After saying that, Lu Ming waved his hand and led the two elves into the depths of the cave.

When it reached the deepest part, it finally learned the truth about why the Circle Bear settled there.

"Elf egg! This must be the egg of the Circle Bear!

No wonder it settled here. It turned out that it discovered such a hidden place and wanted to hatch eggs here.

It’s a pity that Si Yu and Ye Cang found out and recruited me as well. In the end, both the bear and the eggs belonged to me.

However, I can buy it an egg-hatching device when I go back this time.

If the hatched baby bear has good aptitude and has the "scavenging" trait, it can be kept for breeding."

The reason why Lu Ming wanted to raise a baby bear was because he had previously learned about Xiong Jun’s Yueyue Bear Project.

If the plan succeeds, I might get a "peat block" that can help the Circle Bear evolve!

Besides, he had not yet used the "Flame Orb" that he had found from Guai Li.

If the hatched baby bear has the "picking up" trait, then after evolving into a circle bear it will become the "perseverance" trait. The combination of the two will give it considerable combat power.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming stepped forward, picked up the elf egg, and carefully put it into his space backpack, thinking that this harvest was really unexpected.

First of all, the harvest of the "Water Gem" that was his original target was beyond his expectations. He got ten in total, which was more than enough for his use.

Then the biggest unexpected gain was the mid-quality "soft sand".

That is a precious item with a market value of one million. It is equipment that many trainers who have recently been promoted to "senior level" may not be able to have. Now he already has two of them.

Without hesitation, Lu Ming took out the intermediate-level "soft sand" and put it on the gangster crocodile.

The next moment, Crocodile, who wore the props that matched his attributes for the first time, and it was an intermediate-level prop, suddenly felt the flow of ground attribute energy in his body extremely smooth, and even felt like shouting out loud.

The Gangster Crocodile was previously enhanced by a high-quality "Ground Gem", and now he is wearing a mid-level "Ground Gem", and he has mastered the ultimate ground skill - "Earthquake"!

Think about the power you will have against the enemy in the future. As long as you don’t encounter an opponent that is too abnormal, it will be difficult to find an opponent below the “senior level”!

Then, he replaced the intermediate "Sharp Bird Beak" that was replaced by the Gangster Crocodile with the "Big Rhizome" of the Ultrasonic Larva.

After all, the "Big Rhizome" can only be used for "Ultimate Absorption" at present, while the "Sharp Bird's Beak" is not only an intermediate prop, but can also amplify the two moves of "Wind Rising" and "Swallow Returning".

What's more, the ultrasonic larvae have the opportunity to learn more flying skills, so it is also beneficial to get closer to this kind of energy now.

But just as Lu Ming finished doing all this, he heard a sudden scream from the two women outside.

…………

Chapter 53 Head-on Attack

Lu Ming had just distributed the two mid-level quality items when he suddenly heard the screams of two women outside.

When Lu Ming returned to the cave entrance with the two elves, he discovered that many water elves had gathered in the pool outside the Water Curtain Cave and were trying to rush into the waterfall.

Si Yu and Ye Cang had already led the Swamp King and Sun Coral to resist a wave, but they seemed to be unable to withstand the attacks of the subsequent water elves.

Fortunately, just when a few goldfish jumped into the cave, Lu Ming appeared in time and asked the crocodile to quickly solve the problem with an "earthquake".

However, the defeat of a few goldfish obviously could not scare away the fish school, and more water elves rushed into the cave.

Fortunately, these water elves are generally not very strong. With the cooperation of three people and four elves, they can temporarily hold their own.

"What's going on with these water elves? Why have they become so crazy!" Lu Ming asked with a frown.

"It must have been attracted by the energy of the 'Water Gem'."

"These gems have been embedded in the cave for so many years, how come they were discovered at this very moment?"

Hearing this, Ye Cang's eyes wandered and he said nothing more. Si Yu sighed and said:

"To be honest, we were too impatient. During the excavation process, we couldn't resist the nagging of the Swamp King and the Sun Coral, so we agreed to let them absorb one on the spot first.

I think it was this action that caused the energy fluctuations to leak out of the waterfall, allowing these wild Pokémon to notice it, and now it has also affected you."

"I see! But it's too late to talk about this now. Let's first find a way to get through this difficult time.

Fortunately, this area of ​​water is not very large, and after we get through this wave, we should be fine."

"Hmm~~" ×2

The two girls responded in unison and continued to defend themselves vigorously.

As Lu Ming expected, after experiencing a dense tide of water elves, the surging water elves had become sparse.

"Phew, that's great. It should be almost over. I was really scared just now." Ye Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

However, even in another world, it is best to understand the allusion of not opening champagne at halftime.

Not long after the fat girl finished speaking, an extremely powerful force burst out, scaring the two women into trembling.

Suddenly, a light yellow ball of energy broke out from the pool below and shot straight towards the cave inside the waterfall.

The next moment, the only remaining water elves outside were all knocked away by the impact of this pale yellow light ball.

Immediately afterwards, the pale yellow ball of light rushed into the cave without any loss of momentum, and landed in front of the three people with a "bang", revealing its true appearance under the light.

This is a sprite that looks like a giant isopod standing up, with a seemingly very hard shell and many legs.

Its body is still segmented, with the shells on both sides extending upwards, and the claws on its arms flashing with sharp cold light.

"Armored Warrior! Are you kidding me? Why would there be an armored warrior on Mount Tsukimi?!

This is a remote mountainous area in the east and west of Guandong. How could species invasion be so serious now?!"

Lu Ming was complaining madly in his mind, but his actions were not slow at all as he commanded the two elves.

The reason is simple: this armored warrior has surprisingly reached the "senior level".

Judging from the strength of its aura, it should be the same as the previous Rhydon, but it has only been promoted to "senior" for a short time.

But now the gangster crocodile and ultrasonic larvae have no attribute advantages over it!

However, Lu Ming was not completely desperate!

Unlike the two bewildered women, he also had a considerable understanding of armored warriors, spirits that were not supposed to appear in Kanto.

This is a spirit with both water and insect attributes. Although it is a rare strong one among insect spirits, it has a negative characteristic - "danger avoidance".

This is a strange characteristic that causes the creature to retreat automatically when its physical strength drops to half of its maximum value.

If it is a wild Pokémon, it will run away directly, but if it is a captured Pokémon, it will automatically return to the Poké Ball.

In other words, as long as Lu Ming and his companions can deplete more than half of its physical strength, they can make it retreat on its own.

Moreover, the most dangerous thing about this elf is its signature skill - "Headline Attack"!

This move is not only powerful but also has a very high priority, but it can only be used for the first time after the battle begins.
