The location of this small island is very special, right under the Big Pot Lake Falls.
The rapid water washes here day after day, depositing the sand and soil in the river here, making the soil on this island relatively fertile.
It is precisely because of this that this place has become a breeding paradise for spicy secret plants.
Today, due to this sudden fierce fight, this paradise suffered a devastating blow.
On the small island, which could only accommodate a dozen Chihouba, Chihouba and Menas were fighting fiercely.
But what was intense was just the scene. In fact, the two elves did not suffer much real damage.
After releasing the meteor swarm, Menas understood that his output power no longer posed any threat to Chihou Ba.
On the one hand, the meteor swarm has greatly reduced the special attack ability. On the other hand, the duration of various abilities previously improved by Diewu is about to end.
Judging from the speed feedback, it has begun to gradually decline.
The good news is that due to its body structure, Chihouba's ability to adapt to land is completely inferior to that of Menas.
Coupled with the fact that Menas deliberately hid his body behind the spicy secret plant, Chihouba did not dare to increase the intensity at all.
In its eyes, Menas no longer poses a threat to itself, and the most important thing is to do its best to protect the baby.
But the more Chiroba had this idea, the more Menas took advantage of its psychological weakness to deal with it.
Seeing Menas meandering flexibly in the flower field, Chihouba roared angrily, but in the end he was helpless.
The guerrilla war between the two elves did not last long before Xia Chen and Gu Ledun arrived, breaking this delicate balance.
An orange-red light wheel fell from the sky, blocking the space between Chihouba and Menas.
…………
"Fuwu——"
Looking at the figure standing in front of him as firmly as a mountain, Menas let out a long sigh of relief.
There is not much time left for the butterfly dance status bonus. If Xia Chen hasn't arrived yet, it's hard to say what the consequences will be.
On the other side, Chihouba was also watching Gulleton warily. He was deeply impressed by this big red lizard with a terrifying and dangerous aura.
In the previous fight, if it hadn't been an instinctive reaction under physical stress conditions, it might have been explained there.
And now, the battlefield has come to a ground that he is extremely unfamiliar with... The odds of winning this battle are very low.
But even so, Chihouba had no intention of escaping into the water.
It can run, but the secret plant on the island cannot run.
These are the roots that make it powerful, and they are things that Chihouba will fight to the death to protect.
Therefore, Chihouba had no choice but to tense up his huge body and look at Gu Ledun brazenly.
At this moment, it only has one belief in its heart, the fish is there and the fruit is there!
However, what Chihouba didn't expect was that Xia Chen, who firmly held the initiative, did not choose to fight.
"Relax, I have no intention of fighting you to the death."
While saying this, Xia Chen jumped down from Gulton, casually picked up two red secret plants on the ground and stared at them slightly.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the spicy secret plant.
With the thing he wanted most on this trip in hand and Menas safe and sound, Xia Chen naturally had no intention of getting into any more entanglements with Chihouba.
Therefore, Luton had no absolute advantage against Chihouba, not to mention that the opponent also had a King-level Mililion in his belly. He didn't want things to end badly.
However, Xia Chen's concession made the Big Mac in front of him somewhat confused. Although its brain was not working well, the Mililong in its mouth had a high IQ.
At this moment, Chihouba had roughly understood the ins and outs of the whole matter from Milililong's analysis.
All this is the other party's conspiracy to find his treasure!
But now that the plot was completed and the treasure he wanted was right in front of him, he said he wanted to give up?
Who would believe such nonsense?
Xia Chen didn't care whether it believed it or not. After picking more than a dozen secret plants, it took out the elf ball, put away Menas, and returned to Guluton's body.
Before leaving, Xia Chen suddenly thought of something, turned around and added: "By the way, after a while, a group of people will come here, and they will do some work here. Of course, in return, they will also help you build this place." Recover as before.”
This small island was ravaged by Menas and Chihouba. The originally lush scene was in a mess as if it had been beaten by violent winds and rains.
After hearing Xia Chen's kind words, Chihouba was silent for a long time, and finally opened his huge mouth. Inside, a huge Mililiosaurus with a body length of nearly one meter jumped out.
"Ugh? (You...why do you do this?)"
Although the expression was invisible, Xia Chen could hear the confusion in its tone.
Xia Chen smiled and did not answer it.
There is no need to explain cultivation to a wild elf who has not had much contact with humans.
Since you can't deal with it, you just need to maintain a good relationship with it.
Under the watchful eyes of Mililong's complex eyes, Guluton spread his wings and left the island.
…………
After flying in the direction he came from for a short while, Xia Chen saw the [Mililong] which was also heading here at full speed.
Therefore, Luton immediately glided down and landed on the deck.
The elves who were worried about Menas' safety swarmed around and Xia Chen released Menas and used practical actions to reassure them that they were safe.
Although Menas was not seriously injured, the pursuit and fighting along the way also made him look quite tired.
But the state is not the point. The elves keenly discovered that after this trip, Menas' strength seemed to have increased a lot!
There is a vague intention of getting rid of Senbu and Gardevoir and surpassing the original strength of the first echelon in the team.
Upgraded to gym level in just ten minutes?
Although the elves were a little surprised, they were not too shocked.
It's no longer a secret that each of them has a little secret. It seems that Menas's "secret" helped him in the danger.
Xia Chen was also observing Menas. Not only his strength, but also his appearance were very different from before.
I still remember that when he first evolved, Menas was only six meters tall, but now...
Xia Chen glanced up and down, it was nearly ten meters!
It's not that the elves will have a certain shape after evolving, but even if they are long, they are not as exaggerated as Menas.
What attracts attention is not only the size, but also the appearance. Although you can still tell that he is a Menas, his overall impression...
It's like he is evolving towards a more advanced species...no, it should be said to be metamorphosis.
In the elf world, evolution is an instant change. The word metamorphosis is more appropriate for Menas's gradual change.
…………
"So, your strength has reached the gym level now?"
Although he already had the answer in his heart, Xia Chen couldn't help but confirm it with Menas.
"Fuwu~ (That's right, but the level of the main elves in the Bizarre Tree is still a little behind.)"
Menas briefly described his current position.
Like the elite level, the gym level is also a wide range of strength.
The Trainers Association has officially set a concept of one to three stars for it. Now, like Menas, it is less than one star.
But those who have just reached the gym level generally do not have the qualifications to become a gym leader and guide the majority of trainers.
"Fuwu——(By the way, Xia Chen, do you know... what race value means?)"
Out of danger, Menas finally had time to sort out a series of rewards he received after his growth reached 25%.
The first was this racial value that he had never heard of before. If he didn't understand it, he asked. He felt that his omnipotent trainer should know something about it.
Xia Chen suddenly realized that although the world has internal expressions of racial levels, there is no official statement on racial values.
Why would Menas suddenly ask this? Could it be that his system showed it?
Thinking like this, he nodded, "I know something, it's probably to express the average individual performance of each elf's ability in the form of numerical values. What's wrong?"
Menas' eyes lit up, and then asked: "Fuwu? (Then... what is the total level of six hundred?)"
Xia Chen: "..."
What level is six hundred?
The standard quasi-god level of Nianmeilong and Doronbaluto!
Menas asked, could it be that...his system gave him a score of 600?
But isn’t Menas’ race value 540 in the game? A full sixty points longer?
If it is true, then his previous guess is correct, Menas is really transforming into a higher level.
"Probably, the top level of ordinary elves is similar to the final form of those late-blooming elves."
Xia Chen thought for a while and asked: "But the total is the same thing... Do you know the distribution of each item?"
Even if the total is 600, if each item is a mediocre 100, the effective race value is only 500. Although it is also higher than most ordinary elves, Xia Chen feels that it is not great.
Menas was deeply impressed by the string of numbers, and nodded and replied: "Fuwu——(It seems to be, life 110, attack 50, defense 100, special attack 120, special defense 130, speed 90...)"
…………
hiss--
Upon hearing this terrifying assignment, Xia Chen took a deep breath.
Is there such a distribution?
Not only were all the necessary abilities not cut, but greatly strengthened, the least needed attack was also reduced by ten points?
On the surface, it only adds 60 points, but it is actually more comfortable than the 100 points of racial value added by the mega evolution of some elves.
For example, a certain dragon-type quasi-god who can't dance dragon...
In general, Menas retains the original characteristics of high special attack and high special defense. On this basis, it also strengthens the original relatively weak health and physical defense. The only pity is that the speed is still a bit embarrassing. ninety.
It would be nice to just keep the attack at 15 like the Mega Needle Bee and add the rest to the speed...
Xia Chen was dreaming here, but his long silence made Menas a little panicked, "Fuwu? (Is this race worth it?)"
Xia Chen was quite speechless about Menas' Versailles remarks, "If this is not good, then there will be no good elves in the world..."
One thing to say, this racial value is even more perfect than the string of numbers "108, 130, 95, 80, 85, 102" that made Earth Dragon fans memorize in previous lives.
Xia Chen's affirmation made Menas relieved.
So, the reward of race value is clear, but the series of rewards is more than that.
A 20% increase in all abilities is also a big bonus, but this is very easy to understand and there is nothing to ask.
The other reward, [Move Gift Pack] also left Menas a little confused.
Although he couldn't learn the three previous moves, Butterfly Dance, Water Spray, and Meteor Swarm, in theory, he knew them all.
But this time, the three of them may leap into the abyss, make a dragon appear in the sky, or paint the ground into a river...
He was very sure that these three moves were not included in the move list of all elves.
So, will this be his own exclusive move like Dragon Arrow to Dragon Baruto?
Judging from the name, this is most likely the case.
Since it was a move that was not in the existing move list, Menas did not ask Xia Chen anymore. He would know it when the growth rate was unlocked anyway.
After eating many secret plants, its current growth rate has reached 26%, and it is not far from unlocking 30% [or leaping into the abyss].
Exclusive moves...what will be their effects?
Menas couldn't help but start to look forward to it.
…………
On the other side, Xia Chen ignored Menas after receiving the surprise of race value.
In any case, as long as the elves are developing for the better, it is enough for Xia Chen to be their solid and reliable backing.
So he turned to take out the red secret plant he brought from the island.
Just when Pipa heard the noise outside, he walked out of the cabin. With his sharp eyes, he saw what he had been thinking about in Xia Chen's hand.
He walked quickly towards Xia Chen excitedly, while introducing the origin and function of this plant to himself.
"A spicy secret plant?! The Book of Nobles says that it has the effect of quickly promoting metabolism and is the most helpful among the five plants for healing injuries!"
Xia Chen nodded clearly. He remembered the superficial high school biology knowledge in his previous life. Metabolism is the process in which living things constantly replace old substances with new ones. It is the basis of all life activities.
It's no wonder that by the time they passed, Chihouba, who was originally seriously injured, had basically returned to his full strength.
Maybe Menas's rapid progress is also related to eating these secret plants?
So will this thing be good for other elves?
Thinking like this, Xia Chen made a decision, "We will use this as a seasoning for today's lunch, and everyone will eat it together!"
Pipa said in surprise: "Eat together? Isn't this a little enough?"
Xia Chen smiled and took out a dozen more trees from the storage ball. "Mililong has more brains than that drag worm. It and Chihouba planted the secret plant on the small island. Plants, you don’t have to be so frugal this time.”
As he said that, he raised his head and glanced at the sun hanging high in the sky. After struggling with Chihouba and the others for so long, it was almost lunch time before he knew it.
"Let's go, I'll make something special for you at noon today~"
After lightly sniffing the spicy aroma of the fruits on the plant, Xia Chen walked towards the kitchen in the cabin.
…………
After spending some time grinding the fruits from the secret plant into a seasoning similar to dried chili powder, Xia Chen began today's lunch practice.
Since he wanted to make full use of these spicy secret seasonings, what he cooked for lunch today was naturally based on the cuisine of Sichuan and Hunan in the past.
The cooking methods in Sichuan and Hunan are mostly stir-fried, pan-fried, dry-roasted, deep-fried, stewed, simmered and exploded. However, no matter how the cooking methods change, one thing will definitely not change, and that is the inseparability of chili peppers.
There are also dishes like spicy chicken, where more than half of the plate is filled with dried chili peppers.
Seeing Xia Chen frantically adding chili peppers and sprinkling spicy secret seasoning into the wok, Pipa, who was helping on the side, was shocked.
Although he is also a cook, even a good cook, due to the taste of the Padians, his research on spicy food may not be as good as even Mingyi's.
Pipa swallowed unconsciously and asked weakly: "Is this... really edible?"
Xia Chen laughed twice, "Don't worry, it's not dead. Just be prepared to stay in one place for a long time."
It is said that when traveling to the Sichuan and Sichuan areas, you must first register at the anorectal clinic. There is no hospital on the ship, so he can only rely on his willpower to get through it.
Piper: "..."
Xia Chen's words made him a little confused.
Is this thing you made really serious cooking?
