Pokémon: From Magikarp

The dim passage finally came to an end. Lin Shi lay at the exit of the cave and looked inside. In front of him was a huge flat space with wide passages on three sides. The only thing facing Lin Shi was a tall and smooth cliff.

The location where he and the skilled blacksmith were was a remote ramp, which was at a higher level. The skilled blacksmith had brought Lin Shi here specifically.

The skilled blacksmith also imitated Lin Shi, showing his head and searching with a pair of smart eyes, which finally stopped in the center of the open space in front of him.

There was a huge statue made of various gravel and minerals. Lin Shi estimated that it was at least fifteen meters high. Although it was very rough, he still recognized it at a glance. The identity of this statue was the mythical Pokémon - Diancie!

"These statues are made of small diamonds..."

Such a tall statue must have taken a lot of effort from these little diamonds. But then again, I didn't expect that the little diamonds living here are really related to Diancie...

You know, although Pokémon like Diancie are relatively rare, they can actually be found in many places in the world, and there are even quite a lot of them in some places. But even so, no one has ever heard of anyone witnessing the existence of Diancie.

"Wow cha cha." Just when Lin Shi's attention was attracted by the statue, the skilled blacksmith suddenly pulled Lin Shi's arm and shouted.

Lin Shi turned his head and saw the skilled blacksmith raising his arm and pointing somewhere, his eyes sparkling as he stared at that place eagerly.

Lin Shi looked upward along its hand and immediately understood its target, which was a colorful crystal inlaid on the gem on its forehead on the Dianxi statue.

This crystal was different from any crystal Lin Shi had seen along the way. Even in the dim cave, it shone with colorful light, like the brightest star in the sky.

Lin Shi squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and the identification information of the crystal slowly appeared in front of him.

Holy Fragment: A fragment of the Holy Diamond after it was shattered. Although it has lost its original function, it contains extremely powerful fairy power.

"Holy Diamond? It's actually this thing..."

Looking at the identification information, Lin Shi was a little surprised. The Holy Diamond was the treasure of the Small Diamond Kingdom and was related to the survival of their entire race and country.

but……

Lin Shi frowned. Since there was a holy diamond, it proved that Diancie had most likely appeared here. But now the diamond was broken and not repaired, which also meant that something might have happened to Diancie and she no longer lived in this underground world.

"Huh~"

A melodious voice broke Lin Shi's meditation. He lowered his body even lower and observed the situation carefully.

Below the statue, there was a large group of small diamonds gathered. A small diamond with a particularly long white beard jumped to the front and made a cry.

Under the control of this little diamond elder, the gathered little diamonds quieted down and lined up in an orderly manner, facing the little diamond elder and the statue of Diancie.

Then they looked up at the statue together, or to be more precise, at the holy fragment inlaid on the statue. The white crystals on their heads emitted a faint light, which reflected the holy fragment shining with colorful light. The whole space suddenly became beautiful.

Lin Shi frowned upon seeing this scene. It was obvious that this holy diamond was the forging material that the skilled blacksmith had been dreaming of. He also had no doubt that the enormous fairy power contained in this fragment could definitely make the skilled blacksmith's strength have a qualitative leap.

After successfully forging it into its hammer, it would not be a problem to kill a kid with one hammer. But it was also because of this that Lin Shi felt a little conflicted.

Natural treasures belong to those who are capable. Lin Shi, who has a search system, has done this many times. Not to mention the distant past, he also snatched a Z crystal and a thunder stone from a group of Rhydonites not long ago.

But the situation is different now. Not to mention that the Holy Diamond may not be considered a natural treasure and is most likely made by Diancie, just by looking at the devout prayers of the small diamonds, one can tell that this fragment is absolutely extremely important to them.

If Lin Shi took it away, these small diamond fragments would most likely go crazy looking for it. Lin Shi could even foresee that they would leave underground and go to the surface to look for traces of the fragments, at which point they would almost certainly be discovered by humans.

Given the rarity of small diamonds and their unique habitat, one can imagine the fate of them and the entire underground world...

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Lin Shi. At that time, he had already left here and used the holy fragments to help the skilled blacksmith strengthen his strength. He didn't need to care about what happened here...

"call……"

Thinking of this, Lin Shi let out a long sigh. He admitted that he was a little indecisive, but this approach was indeed not in line with his usual style of doing things.

"what……"

At the same time, the small diamonds in the open space chirped in unison, and the white crystal above their heads reached a peak of brightness, and then gradually dimmed.

The ceremony seemed to be coming to an end.

Lin Shi observed the actions of the small diamonds and made guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, after the crystals above their heads dimmed completely, the small diamonds began to leave one after another. In the end, only two small diamonds that looked a little bigger were left walking back and forth under the statue, apparently on patrol.

Lin Shi took a look at it through the appraisal system. It was indeed stronger than ordinary small broken diamonds, but it was only less than level 40. It seemed that this group of small broken diamonds was somewhat declining...

"Wow."

When there was completely no movement outside, the skilled blacksmith, with a look of excitement on his face, picked up the hammer and was about to start.

"Calm down, forgemaster."

Lin Shi hurriedly stopped him and grabbed the skilled blacksmith.

"Wacha?"

The skilled blacksmith tilted his head and looked at Lin Shi in confusion. This was obviously a great opportunity and he should seize it.

Seeing the expectant look of the skilled blacksmith, Lin Shi sighed slightly. What was wrong with the skilled blacksmith? It was its nature to find the best materials it could find to forge a hammer. Besides, with its innocent character far away from human habitation, it would not consider too much.

"Okay, don't be impatient. You want that holy fragment, right?" Lin Shi pointed to the top of the Dianxi statue and said.

Holy Diamond? Is that the stone?

The clever blacksmith nodded.

"I see. Wait a minute."

Lin Shi smiled slightly and immediately opened the system. Since there was already a fragment, he didn't believe that there was only this one piece left of such a large diamond. There must be others left.

As long as it exists, and exists in this underground world, he is confident that he can find it. If it really doesn't exist, then he can only make long-term plans...

So, the system starts!

After entering the four words "holy fragments", the familiar radar began to rotate slowly and the detection began. Lin Shi stared at the screen intently, and his heart moved along with the radar.

"Detection successful!"

Finally the detection results came out, and Lin Shi's face lit up with joy. Sure enough, in addition to the fragment on the gem on the sculpture's forehead, there was another fragment, and it seemed to be even bigger!

Lin Shi licked his lips, feeling extremely excited, but soon the joy was suppressed. Lin Shi raised his eyebrows and murmured in surprise:

"How come this fragment is so close, it seems to be..."
