Elf: Make the Rockets Great Again

"It's okay, Crocodile, it's a good first try. Don't let the energy pile up too crowded!"

"Skull~"

…………

An hour later,

A rock mass the size of a watermelon gradually condensed into shape in the stone-brown light.

Unlike the other hard rocks around it, this rock, condensed from the pure energy of the Hunhun Crocodile, presents a unique luster in the sunlight.

Then, with a powerful swing of its claws raised high, the crocodile sent the rock flying through the air, easily smashing a dead tree in the corner.

"Congratulations, Crocodile, this move has achieved some initial success!"

Hearing Lu Ming's congratulations, Gangster Crocodile first crossed his chest and raised his head proudly, but then he thought about something and immediately shook his head in dissatisfaction.

It had already gained a preliminary understanding of the power of this move from Lu Ming last night, and it itself was not even a beginner.

Immediately, he waved towards Lu Ming, indicating that he should replenish his energy and continue his efforts.

Lu Ming smiled. Although the crocodile was proud, he was also aware of his own shortcomings. He immediately fed him a handful of the newly bought energy cubes, and then carefully explained the key points of the secret book.

…………

The sun sets in the west,

In a secluded corner at the foot of Mount Tsukimi, the sound of tiny cracks could be heard continuously.

The gangster crocodile was breathing heavily, and his claws were slightly sore from being raised so many times.

However, above its head there are four rocks as big as washbasins, floating like satellites.

As Lu Ming extended his finger, the crocodile immediately controlled four rocks and shot them in the direction he pointed.

“Bang~bang~bang~~”

The next moment, four pieces of rock hit the rock that Lu Ming pointed to, and dispersed in four directions, surrounding it.

"Hu~hu~~"

After doing all this, the crocodile was a little out of breath. Lu Ming signaled it to stop and rest, and fed it some fruits and energy blocks.

Yesterday, Lu Ming just intercepted someone else and understood very well the importance of maintaining sufficient physical strength.

Whenever he felt that the crocodile was running out of energy, he would immediately stop it to rest and feed it.

Throughout the day, not only did the scoundrel Crocodile consume all four of Lu Ming's "Rock Gems", he also used up most of the energy blocks.

Such astonishing consumption naturally has miraculous effects. It has basically mastered the "rock blockade" skill.

Although there are still some shortcomings, for example, in order to highlight the blocking effect of "Rock Blockade", the attack power was sacrificed.

Otherwise, if he had used all his strength in the attack, most of the rock would have been shattered.

This shows that when the Hunhun Crocodile performs the "Rock Blockade", it is still difficult to achieve the most appropriate balance between explosive power and precise blockade.

Of course, Lu Ming believes that as long as it is polished for a few more days, it will soon be able to be used in actual combat.

"Hehe~, Spearow, ah Spearow, I hope you can stay hidden for a while, and don't let anyone catch you first.

The "Swallow Return" skill training that the scoundrel crocodile is about to begin will rely on your "sharp beak."

After muttering to himself, Lu Ming saw that it was getting late, so he planned to return to Qingyuan Town with the gangster Crocodile!

But at this moment, he accidentally glanced and saw the golden afterglow of the setting sun shining on the body of the gangster crocodile, making its scales faintly flash with an unprecedented dark golden color.

Lu Ming had always been concerned about the development of the gangster crocodile, but he had not noticed any such changes in its scales.

He was sure that this kind of change in the scales was the first time it appeared on the gangster crocodile.

"Hold still, Crocodile!"

After saying that, Lu Ming directly pulled out the dagger and pretended to stab the gangster Crocodile!

The latter shuddered and immediately wagged its tail, ready to whip the trainer away if the situation turned out badly.

"Don't be nervous. Didn't you notice something wrong with your scales? Let me test their hardness."

As he said that, he poked the scales of the gangster crocodile with a dagger, but only heard a crisp "ding ding dang dang" sound, which was completely unable to break the defense.

Lu Ming had known this for a long time, but what surprised him was that grooves and notches appeared on his dagger.

"Eh~, it looks like your scales have become much harder. What's the reason?"

Lu Ming thought for a while and found that the only explanation was "Rock Gem"!

Before, he discovered that his gangster crocodile was taller and stronger than described in the information.

He guessed at the time that it might be related to the fact that he had eaten too many "ground gems" since he was a child.

It now seems that in addition to enhancing the corresponding attribute abilities and energy levels of the elves themselves, various gem resources also have other incredible effects on the elves' bodies.

For example, the "Ground Gem" can make the body stronger and more robust, while the "Rock Gem" makes the scales of the Gangster Crocodile harder.

In this light, it is no wonder that the elves bred by wealthy families have an extremely fast growth cycle and are much stronger than ordinary elves of the same level.

In addition to mastering more secret techniques and skills, the supply of resources also makes their physical foundation stronger.

Lu Ming does not envy this. With the existence of the desert space and the mysterious altar, he is confident that as long as he can grow up steadily, his future achievements will not be inferior to anyone!

Chapter 14 Abnormality

Moon View Mountain,

On the outer hillside of a certain area, two elves with strong auras were fighting fiercely.

One of them stood upright on two legs, with black stripes on its body. There was a human trainer behind it who kept reminding people from time to time. It was Lu Ming's Rogue Crocodile.

The opponent he was fighting was a four-legged elf whose entire body was purple with dark purple spots.

It has large horns on its forehead, large ears on both sides, and a row of jagged poisonous spines on its back. It is the poison-attribute Pokémon Nidorino.

At this time, three days had passed since Lu Ming and the gangsters started learning the "Rock Blockade".

During these three days, Lu Ming and the Crocodile were mainly active near the area where they encountered the Spearow last time, but they were disappointed that they did not encounter the latter again.

During this period, Lu Ming carefully paid attention to any clues that the Spearow might leave behind, while urging the Crocodile to use the "Rock Blockade" skill in actual combat.

Although he didn't find the Spearow, he had already become very proficient in using the "Rock Blockade".

Over the past few days, Lu Ming also subdued some elves that were not of high level, but had decent talent and were worth training. He sold them for nearly 20,000 Alliance coins.

But he didn't keep the money for long. He immediately bought two more "Rock Gems" and let the Gangster Crocodile absorb them.

Now, with the continuous investment of six "Rock Gems" and the nourishment of the prop "Hard Stone", the Gangster Crocodile's affinity for the rock attribute is getting stronger and stronger, and the "Rock Blockade" is becoming more and more handy to use.

In addition, attribute gems are also helpful in improving one's own energy level.

Lu Ming's generous replenishment of gems these days has allowed the energy level of the Gangster Crocodile to rise again.

Although he had just been promoted recently, there was no sense of weakness in the energy fluctuations he emitted, as if he had been promoted for a long time.

However, the opponents it had encountered before were all below the "excellent level", and they were easily dealt with without much pressure.

This made Lu Ming feel that he was really lucky last time, as he encountered an "excellent-level" Rhodon in the outer mountains at the beginning.

At this moment, this Nidorino is the first "excellent-level" wild Pokémon that Lu Ming has encountered in three days.

Inside the mission center at the foot of the mountain, someone offered a high price to buy it. When Lu Ming found out, he naturally launched an attack without hesitation, which led to the current battle.

Speaking of which, the strength of this Nidorino is quite strong.

The energy level is even deeper than the previous Rhythm Stone, and it has obviously been promoted to "excellent level" for some time.

He was just lucky and had been active on the outskirts of Mount Moon, so he hadn't been captured by other trainers yet. This was a good thing for Lu Ming.

The gangster crocodile raised its claws to gather strength, and in an instant, six rocks condensed out of thin air above its head.

Then, as the crocodile's claws spread out to both sides and then suddenly slammed together, the six rocks first dispersed in different directions, and then shot towards Nidorino at the same time at a tricky angle.

The latter's eyes narrowed, and silver light wrapped around his hind legs. He kicked out one after another, and actually kicked and exploded the two rocks that were shot from behind.

The next moment, Nidorino glanced upwards, and then the horns on its head suddenly condensed energy, breaking a piece of rock above and to the side.

But just as he finished doing this, the remaining three rocks had already flown in front of him, making it difficult to defend against them. They hit Nidorino from three angles, causing damage while also blocking his attempt to dodge.

Trapped by the rocks, Nidorino struggled hard, but just as he squeezed them loose, cracks suddenly appeared on the ground beneath his feet, and in a flash, Crocodile broke out of the ground.

The claws condensed with ground attributes hit Nidorino hard, knocking it far away.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for it to catch its breath, the crocodile approached again and killed it with a "heavy collapse".

There was no way. Although Nidorino was quite powerful, he was still quickly defeated by the Crocodile, who had been used to eating attribute gems to replenish his body since childhood and also had attribute restraints.

Lu Ming took out the Poké Ball and took the unconscious Nidorino. The gains from this alone far exceeded the total of the past three days.

But besides being happy, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful, as he guessed that the fiery bird with the "sharp beak" might have been captured by someone else.

He had searched this area for a long time and there shouldn't be any valuable Pokémon. If he continued wasting time, it would affect the "development" of the Crocodile.

But just when he was about to take Gangster Crocodile to try his luck somewhere else, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in the air.

He looked up and saw a few Bobos who seemed to have something extremely urgent to do, flying in a group towards an area inside Yuejian Mountain.

He had seen too many elves like Bobo, and they almost all moved in groups, so there was nothing unusual about that.

What surprised him was that a few more Spearows flew over from the other direction of this group of Popo.

Normally, if these two elves met, they would have started fighting.

But at this moment, the two teams completely ignored the hostile races next to them and flew in that direction with all their attention.

In fact, several groups of Pidgeots, Spearows, and even Pidgeots followed closely behind, and they all flew there peacefully.

This scene made Lu Ming feel surprised. He thought that there must be some rare treasure coming into the world, and it must be closely related to the flying elves, which caused such a strange thing.

Lu Ming saw it and thought about it, wondering whether he should go over and take a look.

First, he roughly assessed the risks. Although the place where the group of flying elves gathered was close to the deep area, it was still on the periphery and should not be too dangerous.

Moreover, the treasure that attracted the flying elves only expanded the flying elf sacs in front and behind the hill where he was.

It can be seen that the range of its energy transmission is not very far, and it is definitely not an extremely powerful treasure that will attract overly powerful elves.
