Chapter 449 The Promotion Ceremony Begins!
Swish!
The crisp sound of flowing water followed the voice of the Dragon Elder.
However, this time it was much smaller than what he heard at the entrance of the cave. There was no more annoying noise, and the movement speed of the floating ice under his feet began to slow down.
Everything in front of him became clear at this moment, and a stream of faint blue light emerged, lighting up the surroundings that were getting darker as he went deeper into the dragon cave.
With this light, Qingliu's eyes, which had not seen things for a while, regained focus.
The place he was in now seemed to be in an extremely huge cave, with extremely empty space around him, and even the space above his head was unusually spacious.
According to the time he spent walking all the way and the area in front of him, Qingliu could be sure that he should be underground under the mountain now.
However, how did such a huge space form naturally?
Qingliu couldn't help but be curious.
Shirona next to him was also full of curiosity.
This was also her first time here, and her eyes kept looking around.
The floating ice that slowed down under their feet also gently hit the cave floor beside the water and stopped completely.
It was not until this moment that the group arrived at the center of the cave.
The expressions of the four people, the Dragon Elder, the Dragon Granny, Adu and Xiaochun, quickly became extremely solemn, and then they all bowed forward and made an extremely respectful salute.
Such an action quickly attracted the attention of Shirona, who was closest to them, and she also looked over.
But the next moment, her pupils suddenly dilated.
"What is this...?"
Shirona looked up in shock and looked at the top of her head.
Qingliu was attracted by her performance and looked up.
With just one glance, his eyes narrowed.
On the shore not far away, close to the edge of the cave, huge and hideous white bones broke through the constraints of the rock and soil and extended outward. Under the illumination of the surrounding blue light and the cold environment of the underground, it seemed like a skeleton ghost returning from hell.
The most horrifying thing is that these protruding bones are not randomly distributed, but are like a scaled-up picture of the distribution of the bones of some creature.
That is to say, these bones in front of him...
After Qingliu carefully looked around, he finally confirmed that these were indeed the bones left by the Pokémon after its death, and judging from the shape, it was very likely to be the quasi-god of the Kanto region - Dragonite.
The only difference is that this is a... giant Dragonite!
Looking at the skeleton in front of him, which is a few points larger than the uncompressed WarGreymon, Qingliu couldn't help but wonder if this was the Dynamaxed Dragonite buried here.
However...
The blue words in front of him jumped again.
[Exploration progress: 98%...99%...99%...]
"I have checked all around, but I can only get 99%. Is there any inconspicuous corner that I missed?"
Qingliu fell into deep thought.
Adu, who had already finished praying, noticed Qingliu's puzzled expression and thought it was the same question as Sirona, so he took the initiative to introduce: "This is the remains of a giant Dragonite that the ancestors of the Dragon Clan discovered when they first explored the dragon cave.
"Although until now, we still don't know why it is so big.
"And because it has a deep connection with the other dragon in the dragon cave, and it has been passed down for a long time, all the tribesmen have regarded it as a deceased companion and the guardian of the dragon cave. Every time they pass by here, they will salute and greet it. It's a tradition."
Shirona nodded slightly when she heard this, and Qingliu captured the key information in Adu's words.
"There is another dragon?"
Since entering here just now, he has not seen any Pokémon, and even the panel has not detected any relevant information.
Now the exploration progress is stuck at 99%, so it is very likely that the remaining 1% is where the other dragon is hiding.
What surprised Qingliu was that after hearing his doubtful mumbling, Adu did not reply, but hesitated for a moment, and Xiaochun beside him had the same expression.
This made Qingliu curious.
However, this curiosity did not last long, and was interrupted by the Dragon Elder and Dragon Granny who were in front of the floating ice.
"Since we are here, let's hurry up and go."
The two showed agility that was completely different from their age. They jumped up and jumped from the floating ice to the shore. Adu and Xiaochun looked at each other and showed a slightly embarrassed smile to Qingliu, and quickly followed.
"It seems that this question involves a degree that is not convenient to tell outsiders."
Shirona said softly.
"I am abrupt."
Qingliu did not delve into it: "Let's complete the main purpose of our coming here first."
Then, Qingliu and Shirona followed the footsteps of the group in front.
...
The group stopped in front of the giant skeleton from the shore.
Qingliu soon noticed that at the feet of the giant Dragonite skeleton, there were more than ten neatly placed dragon tooth props that looked very ancient and full of the vicissitudes of time.
Almost every body size is the same as the dragon's fang that A'du used during the uplifting ceremony during the battle with him, and a few of them even slightly surpassed it.
"These are currently the highest quality dragon teeth in the clan. Whether it is a single or overlapping pulling ceremony, they are enough." said the Dragon Elder.
Granny Long nodded: "I see, then let's start directly."
After saying that, the two old men looked at Qingliu and Sirona at the same time.
"You two, who comes first?"
Sirona also turned her attention to Qingliu at this moment.
"Ladies first?"
Qingliu said.
Sirona nodded and said in a clear voice: "I can do it."
After saying that, he walked forward directly.
In a flash of red light, Sirona's ace Pokémon, Bite Shark, appeared and formed a formation under her command.
Long Po and the Dragon Elder looked at each other, and then the former came to the disk containing the dragon's teeth, picked up one and threw it to the biting land shark. Long Po's expression quickly became solemn, and she began to speak Recite complex and mysterious mantras.
A few seconds passed, and as the speed of the spell became faster and faster, a burst of intense light like the light of evolution suddenly erupted from the Dragon's Fang, directly enveloping Liebite Land Shark's entire body.
Buzz!
A dull buzzing sounded in the cave.
The next moment, all the white light bursting out from the dragon's teeth rose into the sky, condensing a huge dragon of light above the head that looked like an oriental dragon, and opened its bloody mouth with a roar.
roar!
The huge roar was deafening, and the Dragon of Light circled up. In an instant, it turned into dots of broken light falling from above, and finally turned into a white stream of light falling from the sky, and poured into the body of Liebiting Land Shark.
In just an instant, Liebite Land Shark's momentum had climbed to the peak of its own level, and even after reaching the peak, it still continued to rise without any stopping.
A clear look of pain flashed through Liebite Lu Shark's orange eyes. Small but dense cracks appeared on the skin, and the energy on the body surface began to become disordered, as if he was suffering from a surge of energy. A situation about to fall into a violent state.
"Bite the land shark!"
Sirona whispered.
Liebite Lu Shark's expression turned extremely ferocious in an instant.
"Cha!"
Kaka! ! !
After a low roar, a crisp sound like fried beans came from Lie biting the land shark's body. In a moment, its body began to rise rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, its body became taller and majestic, and its fierce aura became more powerful. It also expanded rapidly.
At this moment, the originally violent energy slowly calmed down as if it had encountered an even more ferocious existence and was forcibly suppressed.
It wasn't until the light derived from the dragon's teeth was completely integrated into the body of the biting land shark that everything ended.
"It looks like it's working pretty well."
Elder Long glanced at Lie Jie Lu Shark, then turned to look at Granny Long next to him and said, "Although he looks like his eyes are dim with old age, I didn't expect that his vision is quite good. He has taken on a good disciple."
Grandma Long didn't reply, and she didn't have much expression on her face, but the faint smile at the corner of her mouth revealed her inner thoughts at the moment.
At the same time, Qingliu, who heard the exchange between the two, aimed at Liebite Land Shark and activated the panel.
A few new lines of small blue characters popped up in front of my eyes.
【Race】Bite land shark
[Status] Potential surges (individual potential increases significantly after being baptized by the Dragon's Tooth Pulling Ceremony)
Excited (in this state, the overall combat effectiveness is increased by 25%)
"If I remember correctly... the last promotion ceremony held by Adu was 20%, although the situation was a little different at that time." Qingliu said softly to himself.
But since there are different numerical changes, it means that this ritual will produce different ritual feedback depending on the individual existence or the dragon's tooth, or a combination of both conditions.
This intensified Aoyagi's interest.
Because this is only a seemingly small 5% in comparison, but in actual situations, the meaning it represents is completely different.
After all, the difference between 5% of more than 100 selves and 5% of more than 10,000 selves is as huge as a chasm.
Since Sirona's Land Shark Bite Ritual is more effective than Adu's main lineup, then to what extent can Digimon, whose racial potential far exceeds that of Pokémon, be able to produce changes after passing such a ritual?
At this moment, Sirona also noticed the changes in Biting Land Shark. After confirming that there was no problem with it, she was happy that it had become stronger.
After a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Qingliu.
"It's your turn."
Grandma Long said.
