Chapter 146 Hunting and Evolution
The dragon's roar, full of intimidation, immediately changed the expressions of the young blacksmith and the skilled blacksmith.
The blacksmith immediately said, "We need to get back to the mine right away. Just from the sound, this is a Pokémon we can't afford to mess with."
The young blacksmith nodded. "Let's go!"
On his way back to the mine, Li Shuwen pondered the dragon's roar.
It sounds somewhat similar to the roar of an aluminum steel dragon.
Could it be that aluminum-steel dragon that destroyed the orchard?
The young blacksmith strode forward and then saw that a large clearing had been created in the forest ahead.
A silver-white dragon is tearing apart a large, purplish-black bird.
This silver-white dragon is shaped like a bridge spanning the sea.
Aluminum-steel... Bridge Dragon!
As for that large, purplish-black bird, it was naturally a Steel-armored Raven.
Poor Steel-Armored Raven, it must have been shot down by the Aluminum-Steel Bridge Dragon's electric beam.
Although they knew that the underground space beneath their feet was inhabited by Melmetans.
But when the young blacksmith encountered the aluminum-steel bridge on the ground, he still felt his heart skip a beat.
The young blacksmith lowered his voice, "Go back, we'll retreat via another route, and we mustn't alert him."
The skilled blacksmith nodded in agreement; no one wanted to clash with the aluminum-steel bridge.
The aluminum-steel bridge dragon, which was eating, stopped and looked at the young blacksmith and the skilled blacksmith.
A golden current suddenly began to flow through the aluminum-steel bridge duct.
The young blacksmith's expression changed drastically. "Run!"
Now that the aluminum-steel bridge has been discovered, there is absolutely no need to hide it anymore.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
A golden beam of electricity struck and exploded behind the young blacksmith.
The powerful impact caused the young blacksmith's vision to go black.
He crashed into a big tree, fell into the bushes, his head lolled to the side, and he passed out.
It's unclear how much time passed before the young blacksmith finally woke up.
He's not dead!?
I originally thought that the aluminum steel bridge dragon was treating them as prey.
So they were entertained with electric beams.
It turns out I just didn't like them.
The destruction of the orchards reveals that the Pokémon in this simulated space are resorting to any means necessary to suppress rival species.
As he was knocked away, the young blacksmith clung tightly to his warhammer.
The warhammer was nearby and wasn't knocked away.
The young blacksmith searched and found the skilled blacksmith in the grass not far away.
The skilled blacksmith's hammer was heavier, and he couldn't run as fast as the young blacksmith.
Thanks to yesterday's refinement of the warhammer and the forging method that reduced its weight.
As Uncle Tsukasa once said, even for heavy weapons like warhammers, heavier isn't always better.
Choose the appropriate weight and shape based on your physical condition.
The young blacksmith slapped the skilled blacksmith across the face. "Wake up, skilled blacksmith!"
The skilled blacksmith then seemed to wake from a dream, sat up, and gasped for breath, "We actually survived."
Looking not far away, there was a large crater with a diameter of more than ten meters.
The young blacksmith was still shaken. "Luckily, we're small, and the aluminum-steel bridge dragon doesn't even notice our small amount of flesh and metal."
That aluminum-steel bridge dragon that attacked them could actually be used as a bridge if it were placed in the river.
That huge Armored Raven is probably only enough for one meal for an Alumina Bridge Dragon.
The Aluminum-Steel Bridge Dragon attacks the Little Blacksmith simply to reduce the number of hostile races.
Exhausted and hungry, the young blacksmith sighed and said, "We've encountered an aluminum-steel bridge dragon; I believe our luck can't stay this bad forever."
"I'm planning to get some maple syrup before going home, do you want to come along?"
The skilled blacksmith nodded. "Since the aluminum-steel bridge dragon is active in this area, we will actually be safer. I agree to go drink maple honey."
That's true.
If there is a powerful predator, there will generally not be a second one.
Standing before the maple tree, the skilled blacksmith, mimicking the young blacksmith, cut open the bark to absorb the sweet sap.
The skilled blacksmith was astonished, "There's something so delicious inside the tree trunk!"
No, how did you find out?
"Can you get such sweet sap from other trees by cutting open their trunks?"
The young blacksmith shook his head. "Only this kind of tree can produce sap, and the amount is not much. If we come back tomorrow, we'll have to look for new food the day after."
The skilled blacksmith looked at the maple tree. "I think I saw two very similar trees in another area. Should we go check them out tomorrow?"
If there are three maple trees, even if we suffer from malnutrition by drinking their sap, it's still better than starving to death.
We passed by a damaged orchard and found that new buds had sprouted again, and some of them had grown to ten centimeters tall.
This growth rate is astonishing.
Li Shuwen estimated that it might bloom in about a month.
It will bear fruit in another month, and mature in another month.
Isn't the vitality contained in this land a little too strong?
The skilled blacksmith suddenly twitched his nose. "I smell tree fruit. Shall we go?"
The young blacksmith's eyes lit up. "Done!"
There are only three fruit trees, and not many fruits on them.
But eating these tree fruits would satisfy the young blacksmith's nutritional needs.
In front of the fruit tree, an aluminum-steel dragon was already feeding.
If you hit an aluminum-steel duct, you're very likely to attract the attention of aluminum-steel bridge ducts.
The skilled blacksmith narrowed his eyes slightly. "Are you ready? I'll go first, and you can follow later."
On this land, it's either you die or I live.
Starve to death, or be killed by a beam of electricity.
Everyone knows how to choose!
"Master Blacksmith, you attack the back of his head with Rock Smash, then fight him. I'll seize the opportunity to heal the back of his head."
"We'll try to end the battle as quickly as possible, and try not to let the Duraludon make a sound."
The skilled blacksmith nodded, gripped his warhammer, and tried to get as close as possible to the aluminum-steel dragon.
Perhaps because of the aluminum-steel bridge, the aluminum-steel bridge is not very vigilant.
The skilled blacksmith swung his warhammer and struck the aluminum-steel dragon hard on the back of the head.
The aluminum-steel dragon was stunned by the attack.
Seeing that the aluminum-steel dragon did not move, the young blacksmith immediately took over with his warhammer.
Give the aluminum-steel dragon another whack on the back of the head.
The skilled blacksmith swung his warhammer again and struck the aluminum-steel dragon hard on the head.
At this, Aluminum Steel Dragon fainted.
The young blacksmith and the skilled blacksmith immediately wielded their warhammers to absorb all the metal fragments from the aluminum steel dragon.
The young blacksmith felt his body brimming with energy.
Seeing the young blacksmith's surprise, the skilled blacksmith smiled and said, "The metal from the aluminum steel dragon makes for a very high-quality warhammer."
"That's why Aluminosi attacked us immediately when it saw us. If I could absorb Aluminosi's metal, I'd probably be even stronger than Greatsmith after I evolved."
This "great blacksmith" refers to the one who used the mine as his territory, both saving and killing Li Shuwen's life.
The young blacksmith and the skilled blacksmith picked the tree fruit and each ate half of it.
After finishing the tree fruit, the young blacksmith let out a satisfied sigh, and his body instantly glowed with white light.
Under the shaping power of evolution, the warhammer in the young blacksmith's hands became even more resilient.
Simultaneously absorbing a large amount of aluminum steel dragon metal, the power fed back from the warhammer made the fairy power contained in the blacksmith's body even more vigorous and pure.
With just one evolution, Li Shuwen's power was almost catching up with that of a skilled blacksmith who had honed his skills for countless years.
At the same time, Li Shuwen deeply understood the feeling of the scaled dragon learning to breathe dragon breath after it had eaten its fill.
It evolves after eating, much like the Armored Dragon learns dragon breath after eating—it's remarkably similar.
The skilled blacksmith was also surprised. When the little blacksmith absorbed the aluminum steel dragon's metal to forge the warhammer, it didn't evolve. How come the little blacksmith suddenly evolved after eating all the berries?
Do tree fruits have this effect?
