Now that I have obtained another tube of cyan aptitude potion, I might as well lie down completely.
Thinking of this, Xia Chan turned around and headed towards the flower forest where the ancient insect tree was located with Hua Jianming.
Under the ancient tree of insects,
Even a person with a temperament like Xia Chan couldn't help but be dazed when seeing a little elf like Chonggunni.
After all, Xia Chan is not a trainer who cares about the appearance of Pokémon, so he quickly adjusted his mentality.
Since Hua Jianming dared to take it out, it means that this group of insect-type Pokémon in front of him must have their outstanding features.
Hua Jianming explained to Xia Chan according to the system. It was very simple to read from the script.
"As for the evolution method..."
Just as Hua Jianming was about to end with "I don't know", a strange connection linked Hua Jianming's mind.
Hua Jianming looked at the Insect Armor Saint who was staying in a nest somewhere in the tree.
"is it you?"
The Insect Armor Saint rolled the ball on his head and nodded.
When the telepathic insect armor saint saw that Hua Jianming couldn't explain it, he revealed the evolution method of his own clan.
"Their evolutionary method is quite special. After the mud balls have rolled for more than 10,000 meters, they will automatically complete their evolution."
Hua Jianming watched Xia Chan carefully introduce the evolution method of the insect rolling in the mud.
"Xiao Ming."
"what."
"Does the evolution of the Bug Roll and Crawl seem familiar to you?"
"It's like..."
Hua Jianming was about to say it when Xia Chan stopped him in time.
"They use their tiny bodies to push the mud balls forward with unyielding perseverance, completing a distance that is as difficult as a chasm for them."
Xia Chan may have felt that he shouldn't have this idea, so he spoke up and sublimated this unique way of evolution.
"This is the unique charm of this clan."
Hua Jianming secretly gave a thumbs up.
You are worthy of it, Brother Xia Chan.
Sure enough, Xia Chan's words were recognized and supported by the Insect Rolling Clan headed by Insect Armor Saint. Xia Chan's words really touched their hearts and gave them endless encouragement.
"Brother Xia Chan, take a look at which one you like."
Unlike the Insect Armor Saints whose IQ has greatly increased due to the gain of psychic powers after evolution, the Insect Rollers are not smart.
Therefore, Bugslip cannot interact with Cicada in the way that Pokémon and trainers do, and Cicada can only choose Bugslip.
Xia Chan crouched down slightly and carefully observed the insects in front of him one by one. These would be his life and death companions for many years to come, and Xia Chan did not want to make do with them.
After closing its eyes, the summer cicada listened carefully to the low chirping of insects.
"That's it."
Soon, the summer cicada identified an insect that looked smaller than the others.
Elf: Bug Roll
Level: 7
Sex: male
Qualification: Green
Attribute: insect type
Features: Shedding (Shedding the skin can sometimes cure abnormal conditions.)
Props: none
Skills: Impact, Rounding, Sand Pulling, Insect Resistance
Genetic abilities: self-regeneration, cosmic power
???
Hua Jianming watched in surprise as the insect chosen by Xia Chan rolled into the mud.
This was the first time he saw an individual with genetic skills among the elves rewarded by the system.
Is this a new change?
Hua Jianming checked the other insects rolling in the mud.
Sure enough, there are several individuals in the bug-rolling mud group that also have genetic skills.
Moreover, like the one chosen by the summer cicada, their individuals are generally smaller than their peers.
"If that's the case, there should be individuals with inherited skills among the Bubo group."
Xia Chan did not notice Hua Jianming's abnormality, but was interacting closely with the chosen insect in the mud.
Although Chonggunni has a low IQ, he still feels a different kind of warmth from Xia Chan and his fellow tribesmen.
It nestled happily in the arms of the summer cicada.
It was the mud ball that Xia Chan had been holding that made Xia Chan's clean white clothes dirty.
However, Xia Chan didn't care.
"By the way, Brother Xia Chan, does your Scyther have an evolutionary direction?"
After hearing Hua Jianming's question, Xia Chan stood up and looked over in confusion: "Doesn't the only evolutionary direction for Scytherium be the Giant Mantis?"
"Besides, the main reason is that the evolution items are a bit expensive, and I haven't gathered enough money to buy the metal film yet."
Xia Chan felt a little embarrassed.
He now works full-time for the Breeding House to capture Pokémon needed for the Pokémon Encyclopedia. Although he also takes on some private jobs from time to time, he does not really have much income.
Hua Jianming and the breeding house provided him and the elf with all the living supplies and training resources. He was too embarrassed to ask Hua Jianming for money to buy the metal film.
I would feel embarrassed even if I were to borrow it.
If it weren’t for the matter of the blue aptitude potion today and Hua Jianming’s initiative to mention it, he still wouldn’t have said it.
"Don't you know that there is a silver mine in the mineral-rich area that is specifically used to make metal films?"
To be honest, Xia Chan really doesn’t know.
I'm a bug-type spokesperson, why should I pay attention to mineral veins?
"Honestly speaking, only when you become stronger will you be of greater help to the breeding house."
"Especially you and Brother Li. When the illustrated guide is expanded to the outer alliances in the future, you will have to go out of the alliance to capture Pokémon. If you don't have enough strength by then, it will be difficult to deal with various dangers."
Xia Chan nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. I won't do it again next time."
"Let's go, let's go to the mineral-rich rock area again."
Although it's a detour, it's still necessary to go there in order to enhance the strength of Xia Chan.
Because the black stone ore needed to make the black strange stone has never been mined by Hua Jianming, it is usually used as a snack for the elves in the mineral-hiding rock area.
Along the way, Hua Jianming introduced various information about the axe mantis to Xia Chan in detail.
"To be honest, I don't want to force Scyther. I have no problem with it choosing to evolve into Claw or Splitter. I'll even let it choose not to evolve."
"It's up to you."
To be honest, Hua Jianming really wanted to see what the Axe Mantis looked like. But since Xia Chan had said so, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
After all, whether Scyther evolves or not will not affect its strength. The non-evolved type and the two evolved types have their own uses, and it mainly depends on how Xia Chan trains it.
Hua Jianming and Xia Chan went into the black stone mine together and took out a piece of black stone that looked good.
This black stone, which has properties similar to glass, is somewhat heavy and has a rough surface, giving it a sense of unrefined elegance.
Hua Jianming picked it up above his head and then threw it hard to the ground.
Suddenly, the stones on the outside of the black stone shattered, leaving only a piece of stone in the middle that looked extremely sharp.
“This is the Black Stone.”
As he spoke, Hua Jianming took out a piece of silver-white steel that looked like armor from the system warehouse.
“This is a metal film.”
"Let Scyther choose for himself."
Xia Chan looked at it with gratitude and released his Scyther.
The head of the flying mantis is shaped like a reptile, with three separate horns on it. The large sickles on its arms are as sharp as divine weapons, and there are two pairs of small wings behind it.
To be honest, Scyther is really good-looking.
Even Hua Jianming couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Spy, here are the metal membrane and the black stone. Take the metal membrane and you can evolve into the giant claw mantis, pick up the black stone and you can evolve into the axe mantis."
"Of course, if you don't want to evolve, I won't force you. It all depends on your choice."
Scyther looked curiously at the two props, one black and one silver, in front of him.
The instinct deep in its genes tells it that as long as it touches any of these props, it will undergo an amazing evolution.
However, there was a voice in its head telling it that it did not want to evolve.
"just!"
Scyther looked at Xia Chan, first waved his hand, then waved his hand back.
Chapter 301 Evolved Little Scyther
"What does it mean?"
Hua Jianming muttered something secretly but made no sound.
