Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

It was like a beam of white light shooting out, and its speed was obviously much faster than the previous Spearow.

In a flash, the leader of the Fiery Sparrows had rushed in front of him, and the Rogue Crocodile only had time to raise his arms to block.

With a "bang", the crocodile was knocked back a long way by the small body, and its legs plowed two marks on the ground.

The Fiery Bird also flew backwards due to the recoil of the force, but it quickly adjusted itself.

"What a powerful force! This Spearow hasn't even evolved yet, but it's already reached the 'Excellent Level', and its attack power is so strong."

Lu Ming was puzzled and looked at the fierce bird in front of him more carefully. Then he saw something and his eyelids jumped suddenly!

"It's a Sharp Beak! This Spearow is wearing a Sharp Beak!"

It was seen that this spitting bird was different from its other species. On top of its original brown beak, there was actually a golden beak, which shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.

The reason why Lu Ming was so surprised was that elf items like "Sharp Bird Beak" were more valuable than attribute gems.

Even if this is just a low-quality "sharp bird's beak", it can easily be sold for more than 100,000 in the market, and its value is higher than that of a "mid-level gem".

The reason for this value is that the item's enhancement of the elves is not a one-time effect, but as the time of wearing increases, the elves will be slowly nourished by the energy emitted from it.

When wearing props, in addition to enhancing the power of moves with corresponding attributes, it can even make it easier to learn and comprehend skills of that attribute.

Now he completely understood why this wild Spearow could reach the "Excellent Level" in this initial form and its attack power was so impressive.

"Gu~~"

Lu Ming swallowed his saliva and estimated the outcome of this battle in his mind.

The gangster crocodile was simple and rough, and he roared and was ready to fight again.

It had just suffered a loss at the hands of this little creature, and now it just wanted to get it back through fighting.

The next moment, as the fighting consciousness of the Gangster Crocodile was rekindled, the "Intimidation" feature was triggered, and the attack of the Spearow under its gaze was weakened for a period of time.

However, the Spearow leader was not afraid at all. The "sharp bird beak" item on his mouth continuously transmitted amplified energy, giving him the confidence to continue fighting.

Soon, it fought with the Crocodile again. Although the latter's overall basic stats were higher, and its "Sharp Beak" could not completely make up for the weakened attack of the Spearow.

But it still relied on its flying advantage to fight with the relatively strong and large crocodile.

Immediately afterwards, in a mutual bombardment, the Fierce Bird was knocked away, but quickly adjusted its posture while flying backwards, and suddenly an invisible cyclone condensed around its body.

"Oh no, it's 'Swallow Return'! It even mastered this move!"

When Lu Ming said the word "Yan Fan" in his mind, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis between life and death, and then he quickly communicated his consciousness to the desert space!

The next moment, the Fiery Bird turned into a silver streak and rushed to the front of the Hunhun Crocodile in an instant.

But when the latter was about to raise its claws to fight back, the Fiery Bird disappeared along with the cyclone in front of it.

When it appeared again, it was right on Lu Ming's face!

There is no way to avoid it!

…………

Chapter 9 Rock Blockade and Highwaymanship

The energy of "Swallow Returns" formed a silver cyclone around the Fiery Bird. The cyclone suddenly accelerated, allowing the Fiery Bird to avoid the claw attack of the Rogue Crocodile.

When Lieque appeared again, he was already just a few inches in front of Lu Ming's face. The wind pressure of the cyclone made the latter's short hair and clothes rustle.

But when the whirlwind was about to suck the boy in, he found that the living human body was torn into pieces like an afterimage, and dissipated in the cyclone in a moment.

"Hey~~~~"

When Lie Que realized that he had not hit the target he was sure to hit, he was extremely surprised and his posture became distorted.

But the next moment, a sudden feeling of palpitations drove it to quickly adjust its body, and it narrowly avoided the fatal blow of the gangster crocodile, but it was also scratched. It did not dare to fight and flew away.

The gangster crocodile knew where Lu Ming was going, so he was not in a hurry and sat down to wait.

About half a moment later, Lu Ming reappeared from where he had disappeared before, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, ready to attack at any time.

"Skull~~"

Seeing that the gangster crocodile snorted in dissatisfaction and seemed relaxed again, Lu Ming also let out a breath and said:

"Huh~, did you chase it away? It's really troublesome!

That little Spearow is also a bird with no sense of ethics, trying to deceive and attack my old comrade who has lived two lives."

Lu Ming’s sudden disappearance before was naturally because he hid in the desert space, and was only slightly faster than the attack of the Fierce Bird.

The attack came so fast and suddenly that if Lu Ming had not noticed it in advance and communicated with the desert space, he would have been too late.

However, this method cannot be used casually. Not to mention that if it is used in front of other humans, it will expose one's secrets. There is also a time limit for using it.

Moreover, when in the desert space, we don’t know the situation outside, so there is a certain risk when returning.

Lu Ming was still a little frightened, while the gangster crocodile kept roaring in the direction where the Spearow flew away, as if to say that he would definitely take it down completely next time.

"The reason why the battle was so difficult this time was because we had no long-range attack methods.

When I return this time, I will try to obtain a set of long-range attack techniques to address your shortcomings."

As he spoke, Lu Ming murmured softly, "I hope that Spearow won't be caught by others, and it would be best if it doesn't evolve into Toucan."

Lu Ming carefully memorized the location and surrounding environment. As for the Fiery Bird, or rather the "sharp beak" of the Fiery Bird, he was determined to get it!

…………

When Lu Ming returned to Qingyuan Town, it was already late. He hurried to the mission center and sold all the Pokémon except Rhydon.

During this trip, he handed over a total of four elves, all of which had some combat talent and were worth cultivating.

In addition to the previous Geodude, there were also two Sandshrews and a Nidoran, totaling over 10,000 Alliance Coins.

The rewards of this day's adventure were unprecedented in his career, even before he climbed Mount Yuejian.

When Lu Ming had money, the first thing he did was to do what every man would do.

That’s right, that is to find a way to become stronger!

Although in the elf world, more than 10,000 Alliance coins is already a considerable amount of money.

But if it is used on extraordinary items related to elves, it can only buy some appetizers.

At this moment, Lu Ming was dumbfounded by the prices of the items on display in the rows of counters in Qingyuan Mall.

For example, primary attribute gems generally cost close to 10,000 yuan, while dragon and ghost attribute gems cost more than 10,000 alliance coins.

As for props or skill manuals, the prices are even higher, starting at as much as 30,000 or 40,000.

This is because Qingyuan Town is a small place and generally does not display gems or props above the intermediate level.

"Oh~, I wanted to buy a skill manual suitable for Gangster Crocodile, but now it seems that the little money on hand is not enough!"

Lu Ming took a quick look around and found that there were not too many long-range skills suitable for the Crocodile to learn, roughly including "Loud Roar", "Mud Shooting" and "Rock Blockade"!

In addition to causing damage, these three skills also have their own effects and are quite practical, but the prices are all over 30,000.

Lu Ming estimated that if he could continue to gain as much as he did today, he would be able to afford it after working hard for another two or three days.

Speaking of which, the skill it likes most among these three is "Rock Blockade"!

Although, "Roaring Loud" and "Mud Shot" are both its own-type moves, they should be easier to learn and also have their own-type bonuses.

But they are all special attacks after all, and are not what the Gangster Crocodile is good at.

On the contrary, although Croaker does not have the Rock attribute, its "Rock Blockade" is a rare long-range physical attack skill, and it has great restraint on Flying-type Pokémon.

You know, he was still thinking about the "sharp bird beak" on the mouth of the Fiery Sparrow, and he had to learn how to restrain it as soon as possible.

As for powerful skills like "Rockslide" and "Evil Wave", not to mention that the small Qingyuan Town would not sell them, even if they were available, he could not afford them now.

But then again, if the Hooligan Crocodile can learn "Rock Blockade" and is provided with sufficient rock-attribute resources in the future, it may be able to comprehend the superior move from the same source - "Rock Avalanche" on its own!

With this in mind, Lu Ming became even more satisfied with the "Rock Blockade" skill set. He wished he could use the "Ground Gem" to buy it right now and let the Crocodile practice it.

But he still remembered the last time he exchanged two "Evil Gems", which had already made people realize that something was wrong, and now he didn't dare to expose it easily.

Just by thinking about it, he immediately suppressed his anxious mood and planned to complete the task first and collect the money later!

.........

Qingyuan Mall is located right in the central business district of Qingyuan Town.

This place is much more prosperous and safer than the dirty and messy North City where Lu Ming lives.

Even though it was already dusk, there were still crowds of people preparing to welcome the bustling night market stalls.

However, even in bustling neighborhoods, there are occasionally secluded paths.

At this moment, in an alley not far from Qingyuan Mall, two masked men were blocking the way of a girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old.

There was an elf in front of each of the three people, and it seemed that they were engaged in a confrontation.

The setting sun, which had not yet completely faded, fell on the girl's face, reflecting her clear eyes that seemed to be able to speak, with an unintentional charm.

The girl has a straight and delicate nose, and her long black hair falls down like a waterfall. A few strands of hair brush across her cheeks, adding a bit of natural beauty.

"You're crazy! We're still in Qingyuan Town. If someone finds out what's going on here, you won't be able to escape."

"Don't worry about this, Miss Si. I observed for a long time before choosing this unique and wonderful place.

We are lucky brothers. In the central urban area of ​​Qingyuan Town, there is still an old residential complex that is waiting to be demolished. It is also your usual route to school. It is really a blessing from heaven."

"Okay, why are you telling her so much? What if someone really comes? You should just focus on the battle. That Sun Coral of hers doesn't look easy to deal with."

…………

Chapter 10 Insidious move

After Lu Ming left Qingyuan Mall, he went straight home.

He knew there was a route that was being planned for demolition, which would save him the trouble of taking a detour and allow him to get home faster.

However, when it was halfway there, it suddenly felt waves of energy coming from a battle ahead.

Lu Ming's body shook, his mind racing. He was judging the strength of both sides in the battle while considering whether to stay or leave.

After some perception, he found that the number of elves fighting in front was not large, and judging from the energy fluctuations emitted, they were only at the same level as the hooligan crocodile. He couldn't help but think of staying and watching the situation.
