Pokémon: Trainers start as Bounty Hunters

Chapter 326 The Intricate Underground Cave (read it in half an hour, edit ing)

"call--"

The cold wind shuttled through the darkness, and Zhe couldn't help tightening the backpack on his back.

At this moment, he has entered the dark cave.

This extremely quiet and uninhabited underground cave feels a little scary.

"Boom"

The electric dragon looked around in front of him, its tail emitting an extremely bright light.

This ray of light also brought Zhe Ye a sufficient sense of security.

No matter how good eyesight is, people will inevitably feel a little scared and unfamiliar in complete darkness.

"Flame Chicken, is there a waveguide that senses strangers?"

Zhe also turned his head and asked the flame chicken who closed his eyes.

"Under Mo"

Flame Chicken opened his eyes and shook his head slowly.

Zhe also frowned.

From this point of view, those trainers who got lost in the maze must have penetrated a lot of distance, at least away from the approximate location of the dark cave that was drawn at the beginning.

This is also a very normal thing, after all, the cave dug by Brother Tulong extends in all directions.

In other words, the tribe of the earth dragon brothers who don't know where they came from dug into the range of the dark cave by the way.

Those trainers who lost their way are unlikely to stay in this area, he just has a glimmer of hope to see it.

In case, this is a matter related to the life of others, we still have to rule out all possibilities.

Zhe also squatted down and looked carefully at the traces on the ground under the light of the dazzling light ball at the tail of the electric dragon.

It is a pity that due to the tide, the traces of human walking that should have remained are hardly visible.

Even if Tetsuya had good eyesight, he couldn't deduce the direction the lost people went from these faint traces.

"It seems that we can only use the roughest way to investigate a little bit."

Zhe also thought with a serious face.

This is also an important reason why Su Tian was worried that he would not be able to find someone quickly in the afternoon.

This kind of searching method like digging three feet into the ground is very time-consuming, even if he has the flame chicken that controls the waveguide.

Unless he is a person with super powers, and he is a very powerful one, he can directly use super powers to scan the entire cave to find people.

Otherwise, seven or eight hours is probably not enough for him to find survivors.

The waveguide is strong, but it is still weak in terms of range.

"Pang Yan monster, please listen to the sound from the ground."

However, he is not without elves who can shorten the time needed to find it.

"Dangoro!"

The gigantic rock giant nodded obediently.

A smile formed on the corner of Tetsuya's mouth.

In terms of finding things, his elves are all professional.

You must know that when doing bounty missions in the wild, the biggest difficulty is not fighting, but the process of searching.

"Tsk, but I still need to find time to cultivate a super-power elf."

Tetsuya and his three companions searched and thought.

This was already the first time he had thought of this question during his mission.

The advantages of super spirits can be fully realized at this time. In addition to finding people faster, ensuring safety is also a very important aspect.

It's not that the flame chickens can't guarantee it, but that the reaction of the psychic elves will be faster and it will be easier to prevent themselves from being seriously injured.

It's just that super spirits are too rare, especially those that suit him.

Relatively speaking, the reasonable way to cultivate super spirits known to few people, that is, the method of exercising super powers, is relatively easy for him.

After all, he could ask Sirona.

Her close friend Cattleya is a very powerful superpower user and superpower trainer, and has a full say in this regard.

If it really doesn't work, finding an opportunity to ask Nazi can also be used as an alternative.

The main reason is that the attitude of this super queen makes Zhe also a little confused, otherwise he thinks this is quite reassuring, especially when it comes to things related to super powers.

As time goes by, Tetsu also goes deeper and deeper into this intricate underground cave.

The notes he used to record the approximate route have changed from a few strokes at the beginning to countless coils intertwined.

Now he finally understood why no one was willing to take on the rescue mission issued by Su Tian.

"This is not a place where you can go out by perception. If you don't have excellent memory and observation skills, you may take a few more forks and you won't know where you are."

Zhe also felt very overwhelmed.

Even if his ability is exceptionally good, it is inevitable to repeat it four or five times under such circumstances.

In this way, the efficiency of rescue will be lowered a lot.

He took out the Hiruf brand detection instrument he had brought from his friend and looked at it.

According to the instrument, he is now at a depth of 200 meters underground, the surrounding humidity is heavy, and the air is relatively thin but maintained at an acceptable level.

Forget about the signal.

This depth plus the impact of energy, it is impossible to have a signal connected to the outside.

Fortunately, his detection instrument is advanced enough and has its own database, otherwise it would be impossible to analyze the environment at all.

"So, in fact, Senior Sutian doesn't know if those guys are still alive."

Zhe also sighed.

Fortunately, ordinary people would not have the courage to go to Yanmo City from the abandoned dark cave, and the people involved in the accident were all trainers.

Being a trainer means that they have at least a good ability to survive in the wild, and it also means that their space backpack should store enough food to last them for a long time.

This is a must for every trainer, and so is Zhe.

As long as he goes to the wild, his space backpack will definitely contain compressed food and water that can last for half a month.

In the most extreme state, this support time can even be extended to one month.

And he has elves, so if he's in a hurry, it's not a big problem to be a Robinson Robinson in the elf world.

"Looks like there are indeed gophers."

Zhe also conveniently put away the detector, and found some clues at the bottom of the cave passage.

The mound bulges.

This is the best trace evidence that the gopher has passed by.

This kind of little guy who moves about one meter below the soil will definitely leave such a path to show that he has been there.

This is a trace that the flood cannot cover up.

"Down"

While thinking, the flame chicken suddenly appeared in front of Zhe Ye and took a defensive posture.

A white flame with a hint of blue-green flashed past the hole not far away.

这 是
Zhe Ye, who had nine-year compulsory education experience in his previous life, changed his face.

"I didn't perceive the presence of waveguides."

The flame chicken's voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.

"I know, go and see."

Zhe also nodded cautiously, put down the gas mask that came with the expedition suit and put it on his face, and then walked over with his partners.

Entering the fork, a pile of skeletons appeared in front of his eyes.

"really."

He must.

The gloomy flame just now was phosphorous fire.

"The time of death has passed too long to be confirmed, but it should be a human male. It seems to be an unknown unlucky guy."

After carefully looking at the appearance of the skeleton, Tetsu also made a simple judgment.

Under the daily flood, it is not easy for this unlucky guy to have formed bones gathered in one place.

He looked around and saw that there was nothing else around the skeleton, probably all washed away.

Then Zhe also quit here.

After all, the phosphine that causes the phosphorus fire to appear is highly toxic.

As for why the phosphorus fire suddenly appeared, it may be attributed to the flame chicken.

Phosphorus fire should not have been produced in such a humid environment, but the body of the flame chicken radiated intense heat all the time, which directly ignited the phosphine.

"So, where will this guy originally be?"

Standing at a central point extending in all directions, Tetsu also looked around.

"Flame Chicken."

He spoke suddenly.

"Oh scary"

Although Zhe didn't say anything, but the flame chicken who had a tacit understanding with him understood his thoughts at the first time.

I saw that the flame chicken began to exude a red hot breath.

The phosphorus fire flashed by again.

"There."

Zhe also immediately grasped the fleeting color.

Go deep, keep going deep.

The surrounding soil gradually became lighter from the initial dark color.

Taking out the detection instrument, the humidity level here is already very low.

"In other words, this is a high point, can it avoid floods to a certain extent?"

Under the light of the electric dragon, Zhe also made a judgment and recorded this special location in his notebook.

It's not the first place he's found shelter from floodwaters.

Presumably those trainers who died should be able to find a similar position, I hope so.

"Boom"

Dianlong lifted up a fragment on the ground with a shining tail and handed it to Zheye.

"Thanks."

Zhe also touched its small head.

Looking at the fragments of the poke ball in his hand, he fell into thought.

"Tracks of gopher teeth, it looks like it was bitten by a gopher.

But there are still black marks of burnt, and the gopher doesn't know any fire damage skills.

Then it should be that other wild elves attacked this guy, and then the gopher gnawed on the discarded elf ball.

This guy's strength is a bit weak. "

Zhe also quickly sorted out the general process of the other party's murder.

By the way, he also complained in his heart that he disrespected the deceased.

Although I don't know what kind of elf it is, but judging from the traces left on the fragments, the strength of this elf must not be much stronger.

If it is not too good, then there is no vigilance.

"No, or it may be that he is too weak to resist."

However, he quickly thought of another possibility.

This possibility made Tetsuya a little silent for a while.

"Let's go, let's keep looking."

Throwing the debris on the ground casually, he took his three partners and continued walking to other places.

one hour, two hours
"Not right."

Tetsu, who found the human skeleton again, narrowed his eyes.

This was the sixth body he had found in this period.

Moreover, the traces left at the place where each corpse was killed are burns.

Ask the flame chicken to confirm the nature of the residual energy on the burn mark again, it means that there is a very gloomy feeling on it.

"Is it a ghost-type elf?" Zhe also said to himself.

In this environment, it is indeed possible for ghost elves to survive.

So, what kind of elf could it be? He stood still and began to think.

"Pangyan monster, use gravity."

Suddenly, he let out a loud shout.

An earthy yellow light burst out instantly.

"gi—"

A piercing scream sounded, and the voice was full of panic.

A short humanoid creature with a dark purple body emerged from the gap in the cave under the oppression of the Pangyan monster's skills.

Hooking Eyes, Dark Pokémon, Evil and Ghost-type elves, have gem-like eyes, which allow them to see their surroundings even in very weak light.

They mainly live deep in the ground and use their sharp claws to dig soil. Their main food is stones, ores and even precious stones. Their sharp razor-shaped teeth are their feeding tools and powerful weapons.

Tetsuya's mind flashed an introduction about this elf.

According to ancient rumors, the eyes of this kind of elves living underground or in caves will absorb people's souls when they emit strange light in the dark, which is why it is named "Ecstasy Eyes".

It's just that the ecstasy eye in front of Tetsuya is curling up his weak body as hard as he can, and it's showing that it doesn't pose any threat.

Hooking Eye's heart was full of fear at this moment.

It was just hiding in the dark and peeking around as usual, how could it expect to encounter a hard stubble.

The aura of the three elves in front of them clearly told Hookhunyan the fact that he was a younger brother in their eyes, and it was the same thing as bullying Earth Dragon's younger brother.

"Is it this little guy? That's not right."

Zhe also muttered.

The reputation of the soul-hunting eye is indeed mediocre, but in fact this kind of elf is not too vicious.

Even in the two categories of evil elves and ghost elves, this guy can be regarded as friendly.

Its notoriety is mainly due to its long-term living in the dark, which makes them very fond of mischief.

To put it more directly, for this little guy, many people don't mind keeping it as a pet at home.

It would be impossible for this to happen to other ghost elves.

Furthermore, the normal-level strength of the Soul-Ecstasy Eye in front of him doesn't look like it can attack the trainer at all.

"gi~"

Feeling that the Pangyan Monster was only restraining himself without making any further moves, the Ecstasy Monster begged Tetsuya for mercy.

It knew that this strange guy with little fighting ability was the leader, just like it had encountered before.

"Flame Chicken, ask it, what elves are still living in the nearby caves."

Zhe also said to the vigilant flame chicken.

"Down"

Flame Chicken nodded.

The blue waveguide spreads out.

Zheye even felt the surprise and inconceivableness in those gem-like eyes of Hookhunyan.

There are also many types of elves' languages, which can be simply understood as the differences between Mandarin, dialects, and national languages ​​in the previous life.

Many elves can only speak dialects but not Mandarin, so it is actually very difficult to communicate.

At least Hookhunyan hasn't met a second elf that can communicate with him.

But since we can communicate, everything is easy to talk about.

Feeling the flame chicken's waveguide, the young Hookhunyan said that his life should not be in too much danger this time.
