Elf: I have a secret realm

Chapter 167 Due to being too powerful, IQ has degenerated.
Finally, after a long wait, when the sun rose to the top of the club, the first sticky dragon slowly woke up.

"sticky--"

Then, like a rooster crowing, a high-pitched cry woke up all the slimy dragons that were hiding in their shells.

At this time, almost half of the day has passed, and the sticky dragons have just started a day's life.

This state is very similar to the nerds who stay up late to practice immortality in reality.

But Xicui has no nightlife, and Xia Shen doesn't know what they are doing at night, or are they just able to sleep?

He guessed in his heart, silently standing in the distance to observe the Nian Meilongs.

After waking up, the first thing the sticky beauty dragons do is to eat breakfast. No, at this point of time, it can be regarded as brunch.

Nianmeilong is a vegetarian, and there are plenty of fruit trees growing on this sandbar, which are completely enough to meet their survival needs, and even have a lot of surplus.

Presumably this is the status symbol of Xi Cui Yiba.

There are also a lot of fruit types in this area. In a short while, a few sticky melons gathered a lot of tree fruits, such as orange orange fruit, mango mango, and apple fruit, and exchanged and ate them together.

The ancient Yunshi never talked when sleeping or sleeping. Xia Shen didn't bother Nian Meilong when he was sleeping just now, and now it's not convenient for him to go after dinner.

But seeing them finish their brunch, rinse their mouths and drink water by the pond, and finally lie back to the place where they started, with their heads shrunk, as if they were about to go back to sleep.

Xia Shen couldn't hold back at all, slept and ate, ate and slept, is Nian Meilong a pig?
He couldn't help but look down at Nian Nian Bao, held her in front of him, and admonished: "You, don't be like that, do you hear me!"

"Stick..." Niannianbao looked confused, he didn't know what Xia Shen compared himself to those elves, but he still agreed graciously.

Only then did Xia Shen nod in satisfaction.

……

In fact, he also knows that the living habits of this group of slimy beauty dragons are not necessarily due to their racial nature, but have more to do with their living environment.

This sticky beauty tribe lives together in a group and has been passed down from generation to generation. When they are sticky treasures, they are protected by the powerful sticky dragons of the older generation. When they grow up, they can protect the next generation of sticky treasures.

According to the torch, there is no survival crisis, and Nian Meilong, who is docile by nature, naturally has nothing to do, and as time goes by, it has become the current state of life.

And my sticky treasure started in hell. Since I was born, before I met myself, I had to do my best to survive every day. How could I have the mood and opportunity to live so leisurely?
It's not just Nian Bao and Nian Meilong, people in reality have similar gaps.
…………

No, it's too far away.

Xia Shen stopped daydreaming, and turned his gaze back to the group of slimy dragons who were about to fall asleep again.

The top priority now is how to get the elements he needs from Nian Meilong.

But I have never met them before, so why should they help me?

Xia Shen was a little worried.

It is said that cannibals have short mouths and soft hands, and Nimeilongs don't look like Lily root dolls, so there is no survival crisis.

With no desires or desires, what can I exchange with them for what I want?

But seeing that the Nian Meilongs were about to fall asleep again, and his day's waiting would be in vain, Xia Shen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

In the space, that dragon jade crystal that is also useful to Nianmeilongs seems to be a bargaining chip?

Xia Shen didn't know if they would be interested, but anyway, it was worth a try, and it wouldn't hurt to fail anyway.

After making up his mind, Xia Shen took Zoroark and slowly approached the slimy dragons with only half of their heads and tentacles outside the volute.

------

Leader Nian Meilong felt the cool breeze at the end of the rainy season, and couldn't help yawning comfortably.

Really, why is the weather so comfortable, and Long couldn't help but want to go back to sleep.

However, the good times are coming to an end, and the dry season is coming soon.

The food will be reduced again, and the Kodak duck, the skunk poof, and the big-tailed raccoon will definitely come here again to eat and drink.

Eating and drinking is still a trivial matter. Even in the dry season, there are many trees and fruits here.

But it is not impossible for them to stay here, after all, it is much safer here than outside.

When the dry season comes, the food for all the elves becomes less, and if the fruit is not enough, they can only eat the elves.

The leader of the sticky dragon can already foresee that those hunters will wait around near their own territory, preying on those weak elves who want to use this place as a shelter.

But what does this have to do with me?

Let the outside world be disturbed, I sleep peacefully in my volute.

It's just that I guess I won't be able to sleep as comfortably as I do now, maybe I'll be woken up from time to time?

Forget it, don't think so much, let's cherish the last short period of rainy season.
The leader of Nian Meilong narrowed his eyes slightly, and was just about to fall asleep, but found two strange elves approaching not far away.

He immediately judged that this was definitely not the native elf of the Red Lotus Wetland.

As a local snake that even Yue Yuexiong would not easily provoke, Nian Meilong is naturally familiar with the local residents, but this is the first time he has seen these two elves that walk upright.

It doesn't look as strong as the circle bear poisonous skeleton frogs, and it doesn't exude a dangerous energy breath. They should come here to eat and drink, right?

Really, it's really lazy and impolite to come to other people's territory before the rainy season is over.

That's all, as a strong person, just give them a little bit of charity.

…………

Xia Shen and Zoroak had just approached the habitat of the slimy dragons, and were thinking about how to cut into the topic.

I saw the largest one among them, with a volute that was about 1.5 times the size of other slimy dragons. It suddenly got out of the shell, and it was as smooth as eating and drinking by itself.

Xia Shen was taken aback by the sudden movement of this guy who was suspected to be the leader of Nian Meilong. When he was about to say hello to this elf who looked like a strong man, Nian Meilong spoke first.

"sticky--"

[He asked us to follow him. ]
The personal secretary Zoroak translated through voice transmission.

Xia Shen couldn't help being overjoyed, could it be that Nian Meilong had already seen through everything and knew why she came here?
All of this is Arceus' choice?

Praise to His Majesty Sinnoh!

Xia Shen nodded hurriedly, following Nian Meilong inside while thinking wildly.

But seeing this big steel dragon led him to a fruit tree, his iron tail hit the tree, the sound of "cracking" sounded, and the apples were scattered all over the ground.

"sticky--"

[He told us not to be impolite, eat quickly, and leave quickly after eating.]
Zoroark's translation made Xia Shen suddenly realize that he thought we were wandering here to beg for food.
Although Xia Shen was a little speechless, he comforted himself, at least this sticky beauty dragon is easier to talk about, there is something to be said about the iron element!
Xia Shen rationalized his thoughts and said, "You misunderstood, we didn't come here for food, but to ask you something."

"Sticky?" Nian Meilong stared at him, tilted his tentacles, and made a doubtful voice.

"That is, do you have any strange metals or stones here, very unusual, maybe inside."

"sticky--"

Before Xia Shen finished asking, Nian Meilong waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, expressing that he didn't know what Xia Shen was talking about, and the tentacles on his head flickered accordingly.

[He said that there is no metal block containing steel energy in their territory.]
Well, it seems that not all wild elves are so cunning, this sticky beauty dragon is a bit too innocent, right?

Xia Shen wondered if it was because they were too strong that their IQs had deteriorated a little, and it was too obvious that there was no silver of 300 taels here.

However, with this pretentious behavior and eager tone, it seems that this thing is very important to their group, right?
"Sticky—" Nian Meilong's tone was no longer as gentle and calm as it was at the beginning.

[He is chasing us away. ]
Zoroak's tone was a little worried.

[I should...can't beat him. ]
Guys, have you started thinking about doing it?

When did Zoroark become so violent?

[We definitely can't do it, they are many people, and they look very difficult to mess with, don't worry, just watch me outsmart them and it's over. ]
Xia Shen reassured Zoroark that at a time like this, it still depends on human wisdom!
…………

"Don't get me wrong, we know you don't have that kind of metal here, and we didn't come here for that." Xia Shen explained in a "panic".

But was interrupted by Nian Meilong again, "Nian—"

[He said, you asked that question just now, and you still want to lie to me, do you think I am stupid? ]
Xia Shen looked annoyed, and said dejectedly, "Well, I haven't hidden your clever mind, but I'm looking for this thing to save my friend."

To deal with this kind of elf who is not very smart in reality but thinks he is very smart, he must first let him think he has discovered the truth of the matter, and then hide the lie in the next layer.

Sure enough, Nian Meilong's triumphant expression revealed that he had fallen into Xia Shen's lies.

Xia Shen struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "My friend has a strange disease, why can't it be cured? I asked the great god of knowledge, Yukexi, and he told me that you have a magical stone with healing power. , I didn’t expect it. Well, since that’s the case, I’d better go back and prepare for its funeral.”

Speaking of the latter part, the macho Xia Shen wept, his sad expression moved all the Nimeilongs present, only Zoroark had a strange expression.

[Look a little sad, it's better to shed some tears like me. ]
Xia Shen quickly reminded Zoroarak with telepathy, let her cooperate with the acting, and don't be Qin Wuyang who is pulling hips beside Jing Ke.

[I really can't help you]
Zoroark tried his best to squeeze out a trace of sadness, barely completing the task.

"Xiang—" A smaller Nianmeilong seemed to have the deepest empathy, saying something to the leader of Nianmeilong.

[She said, anyway, we still have so many steel stones, why don't we share them and save their friends? ]
Xia Shen was overjoyed, there are still so many good elves in this world!

But he didn't think about empty-handed white wolves, making up a white lie just to lower their vigilance, so that he could at least have a chance to communicate with them.

Now the time is almost ripe.

"Of course, I won't give nothing, I can exchange some very precious things in our clan with you!"

Saying that, Xia Shen took out a fingernail-sized dragon jade crystal from the space, and looked at the leader Nian Meilong sincerely.

"sticky--"

Nian Meilong, who was a little disapproving when he heard the exchange, felt the strong energy of the dragon energy emanating from the dragon jade crystal, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

……

Xia Shen expected it well. Nian Meilong, who has dual attributes of steel and dragon, knows the value of dragon jade crystals, and the light in his eyes also shows that he is very interested in this.

Xia Shen smiled slightly, as long as you are interested, I thought you really had no desires.

Sure enough, elves will have needs and desires, as long as they grasp this desire, everything can be planned.

The leader of Nian Meilong put away his longing eyes, pretended to be indifferent, and said, "Xian——"

[He said, for the sake of how poor you are, let’s exchange some with you, such a small amount of crystallization can only be exchanged for a steel stone. ]
Xia Shen pouted, thinking you were an honest dragon.

Bah, slag dragon!

I didn't even think of tricking you, you tricked me first, can this be tolerated?

"But... this is the last bit of dragon jade crystallized in our clan, how about I add some other things in exchange for you?" Xia Shen begged "poorly".

Dragon jade crystals are non-renewable god-level resources, er, unless you have the guts to get fat and then go to the Snowfield of the Crown to grab Reggie Duo Lago.

However, in the short term, if one's own strength is not enough, one will definitely not do such a dangerous thing.

Although I still have a lot in stock, which is enough for myself and Yan Yan's dragon elves for a long time, but I have to save some.

Bao Buqi has other uses, such as exchanging needs and exchanging resources like today.

Therefore, Xia Shen thought about adding some less precious ones, but they were not found in Xicui, or were rare.

For example, steel gems and dragon gems are elf props that I can easily obtain from the outside world.

…………

Xia Shen thought so, and did the same. He immediately took out a few medium-quality gemstones of two types from the Arceus space.

"How about adding these gems?"

Nian Meilong sensed the purity of the energy in the gem with its tentacles, and nodded in satisfaction.

"sticky--"

[Although it's not as good as that crystal, it's still pretty good, plus these gems, let's exchange for two steel stones! ]
Xia Shen's face darkened, this is too much.

But he has nothing to do with this black-hearted sticky dragon, so he has to continue acting.

"But Yukexi said that two stones can't save my friend at all. This is all I can get out of it. Forget it. I'll try my luck in other places and see if I can find steel stones."

Xia Shen lost his voice, put away a few gems and the crystal, took Zoroark, and turned around as if to leave.

[It took so much effort to find it, why don't we change it? ]
Zoroark was puzzled, and asked via sound transmission.

[Don't worry, it's only ten steps away, he will beg us back. ]
Xia Shen smiled confidently.

But he obviously overestimated Nian Meilong's patience, and before he even took the second step, there was an urgent voice behind him.

"sticky--"

[He said he could exchange five]
Hmph, it turned out that I secretly ate the profit of three coins, so I didn't have any street lamps, otherwise I would hang you on the street lamps.

Xia Shen didn't look back, "Seven."

"sticky--"

[He agreed, is it too conservative for us to bargain? ]
[Maybe, forget it, maybe there will be a chance to knock back in the future? ]
Xia Shen decided to look at the specific effect of the so-called "steel stone" first, if a few are enough, there is no need to change it.

…………

One person and one dragon who made the deal walked into the depths of their group side by side.

Along the way, the number of Nianmeier and Nianbao also increased. Xia Shen said why there was no trace of Nianbao at that time, so they were all here.

Xia Shen roughly estimated that there are about a dozen Nianbao and Nianmeier each.

In addition to the less than ten Nianmeilongs at the outermost edge of this sandbar, their entire group is no more than thirty or so.

Xia Shen guessed that it might be because the quasi-god's life level is relatively high, and it is more difficult to incubate offspring?
It may be that their group has the final say on this territory, and this group of sticky treasures is much more courageous than Zoroya. They came around curiously and looked at the two elves that they had never seen before.

Xia Shenzhi gave them some energy cubes. Anyway, these things are not worth much. Why don't you establish a good relationship with them and see if you can take two of them to the Xicui elf conservation area in the real world in the future.

As for his sticky sticky treasure, he didn't want to cause extra problems, so he didn't dare to release it for the time being, and he will talk about building a good relationship with this super powerful but a bit stupid sticky Meilong in the future.

……

Not long after, leader Nian Meilong led Xia Shen and Zoroyak to a quarry about the size of a school playground, where there were densely packed iron-like metals of different sizes.

Under the sunlight, these metals reflect a mysterious and dazzling luster.

Nian Meilong stopped, and shouted at Xia Shen: "Nian—"

[It’s over here, take seven yuan and go. ]
Xia Shen grinned as he looked at [Steel Stone], which was as small as a fist but as large as a meter or two in diameter.

"Seven dollars? Any seven dollars will do?"

Nian Meilong looked up and down the helpless Xia Shen, and seemed to sneer, "Nian——"

[He said, just take what you can. Hahaha]
Zoroark didn't hold back after conveying it, and laughed out loud.

Xia Shen turned his head and sincerely thanked Nian Meilong: "Alright, thank you for your generosity!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped on the jagged fine steel stone and walked to the second largest steel stone in the audience.

In Nian Meilong's shocked eyes, the steel stone, which was ten times the size of Xia Shen, suddenly disappeared.
Looking at Xia Shen's bright smile, Nian Meilong knew that it must have something to do with him, but because of the face of the strong, he could only pretend to be generous, as if it didn't matter and I didn't feel bad.

But Xia Shen didn't make any progress, and for the next six yuan, he picked one that was about the size of a football.

Taking away a big piece at the beginning is to show that I am capable, and the rest is to show that I will give you Nimeilong a face.

This operation of adding a date to the mallet made Nian Meilong feel completely lifeless in the end.

Even the attitude towards Xia Shen when he sent Xia Shen away at the end seemed even better than at the beginning
If the order is reversed, taking the small one first and the big one last, then whether Xia Shen can walk out of this quarry today is a question
------

After leaving Nian Meilong's territory, Xia Shen didn't rush back to reality, but took out the smallest piece of steel and used Arceus mobile phone to identify it.

The result of the appraisal made him not only happy, but also surprised.

[Steel Stone: A magical stone containing special steel elements.After the steel spirit is absorbed, it can slightly increase the purity of the steel energy in the body and increase the power of the steel moves.Absorbed by other elves, it can slightly increase physical defense.It can also radiate a small amount of special steel elements to change the surrounding environment.Its production seems to be related to the steel slate. ]
The rich information contained in this short paragraph made Xia Shen unable to recover for a while.

Increase the energy concentration of the steel system!

Improve the physical defense of elves!

Change your surroundings!

The way it is produced is related to the steel slate!

Damn, I found a treasure!
Xia Shen couldn't help but swear in his heart, but he couldn't be blamed, it was a big mistake this time!

He was a little distressed at the loss of some temporarily non-renewable dragon jade crystals.

But now compared with the return, the rate of return on this investment can be [-]%!

…………

Slightly increase the energy concentration of steel spirits and the power of steel moves, although the effect is definitely much worse than the "improvement" described by Dragon Jade Crystal.

But more importantly, it can improve the physical defense of all elves!
Although it is slightly, the universality of this steel stone will be stronger than the dragon jade crystal that can only be effective for dragon elves.

What's more, there are a large number of such mines in Nianmeilong's territory.

Fortunately, the relationship with Patriarch Nianmeilong is pretty good today, and it won't take much effort to exchange the Dragon Gem and Steel Gem for steel stones in the future.

Secondly, "changing the surrounding environment" can also successfully complete the bottleneck currently encountered by the Xicui Ecological Conservation Zone.

Although I don't know how much a steel stone can change, it must be able to affect a lot.

After all, the mineral deposit in the Red Lotus Wetland can radiate to the entire Xicui, and it should not be a problem for a large steel stone to radiate an ecological area.

Of course, apart from these two practical benefits, what surprised Xia Shen the most was the description in the last paragraph of the appraisal result.

"It appears to be related to the steel slate."

Although it is "seemingly", the identification of Arceus' mobile phone is almost certain.

Steel slate, that is the beloved treasure of the creator god. Maybe it is a god-level item that accompanied Arceus' creation.

Although the way to get this thing in the game is relatively cheap, it is outrageous that you can buy it in shopping malls
But Xia Shen guessed that in reality, the existence of steel slabs should be the only one!
Even the effects of its derivatives are so heaven-defying, how about the main body?
I just don't know the exact location of this stone slab, Xia Shen thinks it might not be on the Fire Blowing Island in the game "Arzeus".

On the contrary, it will have something to do with the steel ore deposit in the Nimeilong's habitat.

…………

But, then again, why did Arceus's slate fall near the red lotus wetland that washes green?
This is a question worth pondering.

As we all know, whether Arceus has a slate or not, there will be a big difference in strength.

So at least it is certain that Arceus is not in his prime at the moment.

The Lost Tablet of Arceus.
The Emerald Emerald Realm that only you can enter
Clues from the Iron Tablet.
And at the beginning, Arceus said "we will meet again".
If you say that there is no connection, you won't believe it!
But it's still early to think about these, if you follow the main quest line in the game.

The collection of the entire illustrated book and the collection of the entire slate. Although according to the currently known information, the Emerald Emerald Realm is very different from the game, and the meeting with Arceus may not be the process.

But... the flute of the heavens must be available, right?

Dialga and Palkia didn't say they were going to be caught, but they had to meet each other first, right?

So after Xia Shen thought about it and reasoned about it, he finally decided to put it on hold for the time being and take it step by step.

At least start planning from the steel slate.

　Stay up all night and finish coding,
　　not necessarily at night
