254. Ancient secret realm

Fossil Helm is an ancient Pokémon. It is said to be an elf that lived in the ocean a long time ago. There are many fossils of Fossil Helm found in modern times.

Based on fossil inspections, scholars believe that Fossil Helm is an elf that thrived 3 million years ago and is believed to have lived on the beach.

When hiding on the seabed, it seems that it will use the eyes on its back to observe the surrounding situation, and has been protecting itself with a hard shell.

According to research by scholars, fossil helmets shed their skin every three days, making their shells harder and harder. Therefore, the longer a fossil helmet exists, the theoretically stronger its physical defense.

Jiang Xiao always thought that in this world, there might be such ancient elves in the secret realm.

Unexpectedly, I saw a living fossil helmet here, and I couldn't help but feel shocked.

Those fossil helmets seemed to know that Cryolophosaurus was not easy to mess with, so they swam deeper.

Jiang Xiao thought for a while, followed the fossil helmet with the Cryolophosaurus, and swam inside.

After a while, Jiang Xiao emerged from the water and found that he had entered a cave.

At this moment, he was in the cave water lake, which was connected to the water cave outside.

Jiang Xiao looked around.

The environment of this cave is somewhat similar to the underground of Dasha Valley in the previous Pokémon anime.

Jiang Xiao looked at the forest in the cave, which was glowing with dim fluorescence. It was luminous moss, and the entire cave seemed dim.

Jiang Xiao murmured: "Did those fossil helmets run into the forest?"

"Yaulu~~"

Cryolophosaurus looked at this ancient cave curiously. The ecology here still maintains what it was like in ancient times, and it has continued to thrive until now.

Jiang Xiao swam to the shore, preparing to see the situation in the cave, but at this moment, "whoosh", two pink tentacles grabbed him.

"Dumb!!"

The Frozen Spinosaurus roared angrily, and the dragon claw cut the tentacle in half, falling to the ground, still twisting like a snake, which made people feel a little sick.

Jiang Xiao stared at the twisting tentacles.

[Tentacles of Tentacle Lily: It is said that the meat is delicious and elastic, with both meat and vegetarian taste. 】

Jiang Xiao: "Tentacle Lily?!"

"Gulu!!"

Following an angry roar, several more tentacles were seen coming towards the Cryolophosaurus.

Under Jiang Xiao's command, the Frozen Spinosaurus deftly avoided Tentacle Lily's attack.

"Cryolophosaurus uses bite on the tentacles."

The Cryolophosaurus nodded, quickly ran towards the tentacles swimming like snakes, and bit on them. The tentacles were very tough and did not break the defense.

The other tentacles seized the opportunity and used the ultimate absorption, trying to catch the Cryolophosaurus.

"Cryolophosaurus, frozen wind!"

A flash of light flashed in the cryospine dragon's eyes.

"Hoohoo!!"

The icy cold wind blew up, and the tentacles grabbing at the Cryolophosaurus were frozen into ice cubes by the cold wind.

The ice spread along the tentacles, exposing the hidden tentacle lilies.

Tentacle Lily is a plant-like elf and an ancient fossil elf.

"Gulat!"

As an ancient apex predator, even if he knew that he was exposed, Tentacle Lily quickly stabilized his mentality and launched another attack.

Several tentacles braved the cold wind, all wrapped around the body of the Cryolophosaurus, and then took this opportunity to secrete a large amount of solution.

"呵...呵..."

The solution can melt steel, and the solid scales of the Cryolophosaurus make a rustling sound.

"Yaulu~~"

The Cryolophosaurus exploded with even greater power, and actually used the even more terrifying [Bite]!

The tough Tentacle Lily's tentacles finally snapped at this moment.

Tentacle Lily was horrified, and continuously activated the [primordial power] to hit the Frozen Spinosaurus.

"Boom! Boom!!"

Facing Tentacle Lily's attack, Cryolophosaurus dodges nimbly. On the way, all the primitive power was smashed into the air, and Cryolophosaurus dodged.

"Gulat!"

Red light flashed in Tentacle Lily's eyes, and several tentacles burst out with light, like arrows, shooting towards the Frozen Spinosaurus.

The Cryolophosaurus was not afraid and rushed forward to fight, and the two elves rushed together.

Following a roar, as expected, Tentacle Lily finally lost its ability to fight.

"Still a pseudo-overlord..."

Jiang Xiao murmured to himself, having a vague hunch that the anomalies on this uninhabited island might be related to this ancient abandoned place.

"Chirp, chirp..."

Just as Jiang Xiao was deep in thought, a strange cry came into his ears.

Jiang Xiao instinctively looked up,

In this place where time was left, in the cave forest, pairs of scarlet eyes appeared.

Jiang Xiao felt his scalp numb, as if a cold air was pouring into his heart.

He knew that this was the battle between Cryolophosaurus and Tentacle Lily, which woke up the sleeping elves here.

Jiang Xiao did not dare to stay here for a long time, so he quickly returned to the lake, dived under the water, and returned the same way.

...............

"Captain, you said there are living ancient fossil elves deep in the water cave?!"

Deng Ren asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I met the fossil helmet and tentacle lily that only existed in ancient times!!"

Jiang Xiao nodded affirmatively.

Zhang Youyou said in disbelief: "Captain, you know, it's not that we don't believe it, it's that this thing is too unbelievable."

"Yes, how could the fossil elves appear alive?" Ye Yu also shook his head.

Xu Jinbao said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible..."

Zhang Youyou and others looked at Xu Jinbao after hearing this.

"Jinbao, do you think there will be fossil elves?" Zhang Youyou said unexpectedly.

Xu Jinbao: "The teacher told us that everything is possible in the secret realm. There will be no living fossil elves in our world, but it does not mean that there are no living fossil elves in the secret realm!"

Ye Yu said in surprise: "Jinbao, are you saying that the fossil elves mentioned by the captain came out of the secret realm?"

"It's not impossible!"

Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement and said: "The idea of ​​entering the treasure is the same as mine. I guess that the underground cave may be integrated with a secret realm."

"How about it, do you want to go in and explore? There may be some magical secret treasure in an ancient fossil elf secret realm."

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, Deng Ren and the other four were a little moved when they heard this.

That is the secret realm of the ancient fossil elves. There may be secret treasures in it that were common in ancient times and rare now. Obtaining the same is an extraordinary adventure and good fortune for them.

"Of course I want to go. How could such an interesting thing be left out of me, Deng Ren!"

Deng Ren patted his chest and said that after hearing Xu Jinbao's analysis, he already believed that there were fossil elves deep in the water cave. After all, Jiang Xiao lied to them, and there was no benefit. This was understandable.

"And us!"

Ye Yu and Zhang Youyou looked at each other and said quickly, Fossil elves, I wonder if there are ice and snow dragons, they have strange looks.

Xu Jinbao naturally had no objection to Zhang Youyou's departure. What's more, he was interested in the fossil elves mentioned by Jiang Xiao.

As far as he knew, the fossil elves all had rock attributes, and he might be able to tame one of them. The fossil pterosaur, archeopteryx, and strange jaw dragon were all pretty good.
