Chapter 147 Steel-Armored Raven Knight

After completing the evolution, Li Shuwen did not carefully experience his new body.

Instead, he instructed the skilled blacksmith, "Quickly clean up the marks on the ground and leave!"

Although Li Shuwen was unsure whether the traces could help determine that the one who killed the aluminum steel bridge dragon was the skilled blacksmith.

But it's best to clean up the marks.

Li Shuwen even painfully broke all three fruit trees.

The skilled blacksmith was puzzled. "What are you doing? This is an important source of food!"

Li Shuwen retorted, "We killed an aluminum-steel dragon here, would you still dare to come back and pick tree fruit?"

The skilled blacksmith shook his head. "But you didn't need to destroy the fruit trees, did you?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Precisely because we need the fruit as food, the destruction of the fruit trees might make the aluminum steel dragon think that we were not the ones who killed it."

The skilled blacksmith's eyes widened. "Is that even possible?"

Having killed the Aluminum Steel Dragon, Li Shuwen felt that it would be best for them to stay away from this area for a while.

The two skilled blacksmiths returned to the mine as quickly as possible.

Li Shuwen said, "These next few days we'll mine more ore, and try to completely cover up the marks of the aluminum steel dragon on the warhammer."

The skilled blacksmith nodded. "That's what I think too."

Fortunately, the two maple trees that the skilled blacksmith controlled were in another direction.

In this area, you can see several blue crows flying across the sky from time to time.

"This area is the territory of Corviknight and Blue Raven. When Blue Raven evolves into Corviknight, it will challenge the Corviknight living in the territory. The loser will go out to find a new territory."

"The Corviknight we saw yesterday that was eaten by the Aluminosidamosaurus must have been a poor creature that had just evolved and was defeated in battle and went out to explore."

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected the skilled blacksmith to be so familiar with the Steel-Armored Raven's territory.

"Aren't we enemies with the Steel-Armored Ravens?"

The skilled blacksmith quickly said, "The great blacksmith and the leader of the steel ravens have reached an agreement: we will not use steel ravens for forging, and the steel ravens will not attack the little blacksmith and the skilled blacksmith from the air."

"Compared to Corviknight, Steelix, Duraludon, Bisharp, and Aggron are better for forging hammers."

This island may not have much else, but it has an abundance of Steel-type Pokémon.

There's no need to keep an eye on the flying Steel Crow.

Li Shuwen nodded. "Could we cooperate with the Steel-Armored Ravens on hunting? We'll use our metal-enhanced warhammers, and leave the flesh and blood for the Steel-Armored Ravens to fill their stomachs?"

The skilled blacksmith was puzzled. "They've given all their flesh and blood to the Steel-Armored Raven, so what will we eat?"

Li Shuwen said, "Of course, it's tree fruit!"

Well, flesh and blood are edible, but Li Shuwen discovered that the flesh and blood of Steel-type Pokémon are not suitable for Fairy-type Blacksmiths.

the reason is simple.

Even for great blacksmiths, the steel attribute comes only from the warhammers with which they coexist.

Its true form is merely a fairy.

Steel-attribute flesh and blood will slow down the energy flow of a skilled blacksmith.

It doesn't help with growth; in fact, it hinders it.

"And imagine the sheer power we'd unleash if we could jump off the back of the Corviknight and wield our warhammers!"

The skilled blacksmith couldn't help but swing his warhammer at the thought of that scene, exclaiming, "Wouldn't that mean we could hit whoever we wanted?!"

"When we get back, we'll go find the Great Blacksmith and tell her about your idea."

Having found a maple tree, the two skilled blacksmiths feasted on its nectar.

Looking at the orchard not far away, the skilled blacksmith sighed, "It's a pity the fruit is from the Corviknight tree; we can't pick it to eat."

Anyone who disrupts the peaceful coexistence between the Greatsmith and the Steel Raven will be expelled from the group by the Greatsmith, and will have to sleep with only one eye open.

However, the Blacksmith can freely consume maple nectar, a food that Corviknights won't eat.

Back at the mine, the skilled blacksmith led Li Shuwen to the giant blacksmith, who was standing alone on the edge of a cliff, wielding his warhammer in training.

Observing the Great Blacksmith's actions, Li Shuwen discovered that instead of continuing to enhance the warhammer, the Great Blacksmith chose to enhance his body.

The skilled blacksmith spoke up and told the master blacksmith about Li Shuwen's idea.

The Greatsmith stopped swinging his warhammer. "I must protect the territory. This plan can only be carried out by the Skilled Blacksmith and the Steelravens who were forced to leave their flock."

"You will be included as well. By doing so, you will indeed become stronger faster, and the orchards in the territory will no longer be destroyed."

"But you're also more likely to be killed by those Pokémon. Aren't you afraid?"

Li Shuwen nodded, "I'm not afraid!"

The master blacksmith brandished his warhammer, shouting, "If I can take down two more Duraludon, I can evolve!"

Even if you mine a hundred pieces of ore, it wouldn't be as valuable as half an aluminum-steel dragon.

"In the valley to the south, one of those Slashing Commanders has evolved into a Servant General. Don't provoke them recently."

"Wait until I take down General Pudao before you go and do your thing over there."

These words immediately gave Li Shuwen a strong sense of security.

Although the clan only has this one Great Blacksmith, its oppressive aura is not much less than that of Melmedan or Boscodor.

Despite having a large number of Steelravens, the Steelraven clan still reached a reconciliation with the Greatsmith.

It's not because of Steel-Armored Raven's kindness.

It's because the master blacksmith is too skilled in combat!

It's precisely because the master blacksmith is so skilled in combat.

This led to the targeting of skilled blacksmiths and master blacksmiths.

The Great Blacksmith then reconciled with the fastest, Steel Raven, whom she found most difficult to support after their encounter.

As for further cooperation, the master blacksmith really hadn't thought that far ahead.

"Since you're not afraid, let's start with the two of you. I'll go find the leader of the Corviknights now and have him arrange for two Corviknights to hunt together for you."

The master blacksmith leaped down the cliff, carrying her nearly 200-kilogram warhammer.

The master blacksmith ran incredibly fast, as if he were not carrying a warhammer at all.

With such exaggerated physical abilities and power generation techniques, Li Shuwen was certain that many Fighting-type Pokémon could not achieve this level.

In less than half an hour, the master blacksmith returned.

"I've found Corviknight for you."

No sooner had the great blacksmith finished speaking than two steel-armored ravens flew over.

Li Shuwen was even more surprised; even the flying Steel Armored Raven couldn't outrun the Great Blacksmith.

"You four ride the Steelraven and go out to find prey. With the four of you working together, you shouldn't fail."

Li Shuwen was the first to jump onto the back of the Steel-Armored Raven, followed closely by the Skilled Blacksmith.

To the west lies the territory of the Steel-Armored Raven, to the north the Aluminum-Steel Bridge Dragon, and to the south the General of the Blades.

"Let's head east."

There shouldn't be any perverts in the east anymore, right?

The Armored Raven took flight, and Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Brother Armored Raven, what do you think about cooperating with us on the hunt?"

The Corviknight was very nonchalant. "We were going to leave anyway. The success rate of hunting with you will be much higher than hunting alone."

"We don't eat steel anyway, so cooperating with you is a win-win situation."

The Armored Raven hadn't been flying for long when it spotted a good prey.

"It's a scythe! I love eating scythes."

Li Shuwen immediately said, "Stop shouting, and quietly approach."

Scizor doesn't have much steel, but this is their first time working together.

Let Corviknight earn a little.

Once above the scyther, Li Shuwen was the first to leap down.

Because Corviknight is positioned high up, Scizor has little defense against it.

Faced with the sparks from the blacksmith's heavy hammer, Scizor was instantly killed.
