Chapter 741: Cleansing Salt and Corrosion
After making peace with the Soul-Snatching Eyes Clan, the little diamonds fell into a temporary carnival, but unfortunately, this carnival came and went quickly.
When Lin Shi was about to leave with the little diamonds and return to their habitat, and by the way let Diancie review the development achievements of the little diamonds during this period, several elves came here in a hurry.
These were all elves from the original underground tribe, and they were all old friends, including the Rock Temple Crab, the Salt Stone Giant, the Super Armored Rhino and other elves. They looked a little anxious at the moment, and when they saw the little diamonds, or to be more precise, when they saw Lin Shi who was standing aside, they were overjoyed, and they immediately came forward, saying something anxiously.
……
"Don't worry, take me over to have a look."
After hearing what the elves said, Lin Shi was suddenly shocked. While comforting them, he also quickly followed them.
Soon, a group of elves took Lin Shi and rushed to a space deeper in the underground world. This place had been organized by the elves as a transit station for exploring the lower underground world.
Many elves have come here at this moment, and several common elves from the underground world are all present.
On the platform in the center, there were several Pokémon with purple faces and somewhat painful expressions. The types of these Pokémon were not exactly the same, there were Saltrock Giant, Diamondback, Sandslash... and even a Steelix of the Steel type.
Lin Shi immediately realized something was wrong. It would have been fine if it was the other Pokémon, but Steelix, a steel-type Pokémon, was also poisoned?
At this moment, several poisoned elves have been fed Tiantao and the antidote provided by Lin Shi, but according to the elves, the poison in them seems to be very strong, and these antidotes seem to be able to only suppress the poison but not completely eliminate it.
So they went looking for the small diamonds, hoping to find Lin Shi, a human being with more means of seeking help. After all, this was what Lin Shi had promised at the time, and they could look for him if they encountered any problems in exploring the underground world.
"Flower leaf pedicles, aromatherapy!"
Without saying a word, life comes first. Lin Shi immediately gave orders, and the petals of the flowers instantly danced. As the flower umbrella in its hand swayed, a cool and beautiful fragrance swept over and slowly enveloped the poisoned elves.
Almost instantly, the complexions of several elves improved visibly. Just when Lin Shi thought that everything was settled, the bodies of several elves suddenly trembled and they showed painful expressions again.
This was the first time that Lin Shi encountered a poison that even Hua Yeti couldn't deal with, which made him stunned for a moment. Not only him, but even Hua Yeti seemed a little unbelievable.
But soon, Hua Yeti narrowed her eyes and her expression became serious, and the white flower in her hand emitted a black halo, and these energies re-entered the bodies of several poisoned elves. With Hua Yeti's serious treatment, the complexion of several elves improved, and their breathing gradually stabilized. This difficult poison was finally successfully solved.
"Hua Yeti, you did a great job."
Lin Shi praised her, saying that she was worthy of being Hua Yeti, his virtuous wife, and her beauty could be summed up in two words - invincible!
"Eye."
Hua Yeti responded happily, but soon it tilted its head and looked at the elves, as if thinking about something.
"There's something about this poison."
Xuwuyide's voice sounded in Lin Shi's mind. Only then did Lin Shi remember that Xuwuyide seemed to be a poison-type Pokémon.
"Do you know this poison?"
Lin Shi asked curiously.
"I don't know, but this poison gives me a different feeling from ordinary poisons. How should I put it? Ordinary poisons should contain horrible powers such as death and severance, but the poisons of these elves are a little different. I seem to feel... life."
Lin Shi:?
What does that mean? This poison is quite alive...
Forget it.
Lin Shi shook his head and turned his gaze back to the other elves.
"Tell me, what's going on? How did they get poisoned? What happened to the underground world?"
“Oh…Awoo…Kaka…”
The elves began to speak enthusiastically, and suddenly a dense array of voices entered Lin Shi's ears, like the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers.
"Stop... I said stop, Chief Salt, you go ahead and say it."
Lin Shi covered his ears and pointed at the salt stone giant that had fought with the giant forger.
As expected of the tribe's leader, the Salt Stone Giant became much calmer. After thinking for a moment, he told the whole story.
It turned out that after Lin Shi integrated the elves of the underground world and promoted the exploration of deep areas, the elves began to explore in the form of mutual combinations. Compared with the actions of a single group, the combination of different elves can produce twice the result with half the effort.
The plan went very smoothly. The elves opened up a lot of territories in the previously unknown underground world full of strange legends. They not only encountered new groups of elves, but also found many places rich in resources that could be utilized.
But recently, when the elves were exploring deeper, that is, completely leaving the upper underground world and entering the lower level, they encountered trouble.
On the road that had to be taken to get through, the elves encountered a strange space. That space was very spacious, with walls inlaid with glowing crystals of various colors, and even blooming flowers.
Originally, the elves were very excited, thinking they had encountered a new paradise, but they soon discovered that this place was filled with powerful and strange poisons. Before they knew it, they fell into a state of poisoning and fell into a coma.
That is how it is. If an exploration team goes in and doesn't come out for a long time, another elf team will go to look for them. But when they are also knocked unconscious by the poison, they will attract the attention of other elves...
In the end, it was the Salt Stone Giant who discovered that something was wrong and personally led a team into the place to rescue the elves who were severely poisoned. After ordinary detoxification methods were ineffective, he hurriedly sought Lin Shi's help.
After listening to the words of the Salt Stone Giant, Lin Shi touched his chin, glanced at the Steelix who had not woken up yet, and then looked at the Salt Stone Giant thoughtfully.
“Is it the salt of purification?”
"What... salt? What are you talking about to yourself, Lin Shi?"
Hearing Lin Shi's words, Xuwu Yide asked curiously.
"Pure salt is a characteristic of the Salt Stone Djinn. The holy salt grains can protect it from falling into any abnormal state, so it is immune to poisoning and brought back other elves."
"Then isn't that big, hard snake also of steel attribute? Why is it also poisoned?"
As a poison-type elf, Xuwuide was obviously well aware of the weaknesses of the poison type and asked immediately.
"That's probably because..."
Lin Shi thought for a moment and had an answer in his mind.
"corrosion."
