Chapter 456: Choice, the Underground Paradise of Life

"Chen Mo! Chen Mo!"

Anxious calls came into his ears. Chen Mo, who felt something shaking him, slowly opened his eyes in the darkness.

In the blurred vision.

A little yellow star stopped sobbing, and with a look of joy on her white face, she threw herself directly into the arms of the young man in front of her.

"Chen Mo!"

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

While holding Jirachi, Chen Mo slowly stood up from the ground and observed the surrounding environment.

The cave filled with yellow sand was covered with rugged rocks. Looking up, there was also a thick rock wall. Fine sand kept falling from the cracks like an hourglass, forming small sand dunes on the ground.

"Sure enough..."

Chen Mo sighed softly.

The rock layer that only sand can pass through, with Chen Mo's body size, it is naturally impossible to fall directly here.

There is only one answer.

The quicksand vortex that dragged him in and could even limit the power of the waveguide obviously also represented a legendary power, and the level was probably not low.

Chen Mo fell into deep thought.

There were only a few legendary elves with ground attributes, and the most impressive one was the original giant beast that created the earth in the legend.

However.

Chen Mo knew very well.

That person had a bad temper and was always asleep. He would make a big fuss as soon as he got up, so he would never use such a gentle method to pull people into this place.

Just as Chen Mo's mind flashed through the suspects one by one, his peripheral vision suddenly noticed that Jirachi's mood was obviously a little low.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Mo rubbed Jirachi's little head and asked with concern.

"Everyone... everyone is gone..."

Jirachi's white and tender hands on his chest were crossed and clenched. From his posture, it can be seen that the little star is still very uneasy at the moment.

After all.

It also witnessed the process of Pikachu and the other three Pokémon being swallowed by the quicksand vortex.

After waking up from the cocoon of slumber, Jirachi, who has always been accompanied by Pikachu or Gengar, is now very worried about the safety of his companions.

Chen Mo is also a little worried.

But he believes.

Even without the bonus provided by his side, the normal strength of Pikachu, Gengar, and Machado is enough for them to deal with various situations they face.

On the contrary.

Considering that the three strongest forces in the team are all separated, Chen Mo feels that he needs to be more cautious.

After gently comforting Little Star, Chen Mo took out four Poké Balls from his waist.

"Come out, everyone."

Accompanied by the emergence of white light, the figures of Zoroark, Sharktooth, and Absol appeared in front of Chen Mo.

Looking at the sand cave in front of them, the expressions of the three Pokémons were still a little confused.

Chen Mo quickly repeated what had happened during this period, emphasizing the current situation of being separated from Pikachu and the others.

The three elves looked solemn.

"Master Chen Mo, I will do my best to protect you!"

Zoroark said in a deep voice.

Fanged Land Shark and Absol also nodded seriously.

"And Jirachi, Jirachi will also try his best to protect Chen Mo!"

Little Star raised one hand high.

Thanks to the appearance of Zoroark and other elves, Jirachi's mood has obviously recovered a lot, and the vitality on his face has surged up.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Chen Mo smiled and did not refuse the kindness of the elves.

Next.

The primary purpose is to find the lost Pikachu and the others.

Since Gengar always carries several mobile phones with him, Chen Mo took out his usual mobile phone and checked the signal first.

Unfortunately.

Located in the desert area and being drawn into the underground cave, the mobile phone cannot receive external signals and cannot directly contact Gengar.

Of course.

This is not the most important thing.

The waveguide power that Chen Mo relies on for survival is also greatly limited here. The original super large detection range is suppressed to less than 20 meters by a mysterious force.

This distance cannot be said to be useless, but it is basically useless to use the waveguide to explore the terrain and find Pikachu.

"Which way should I go?"

Chen Mo frowned slightly as he looked at the three different forks in front of him.

"Ab!"

At this moment, a shout from the side caught Chen Mo's attention.

He turned his head.

I saw that Absol on the other side was closing his eyes at this moment, slightly raising his head, and his sickle-shaped horns were shaking slightly.

"By the way, I still have Absol."

Chen Mo reacted.

As a special spirit that can predict disasters, Absol is particularly sensitive to changes in the sky and the earth. In previous trips, when Chen Mo's waveguide had not been completed, he often asked Absol to detect the surrounding environment.

Now.

It's time to rely on Absol again.

"Ab!"

Absol opened his eyes, turned his head, and gave a reminder.

Chen Mo immediately understood and looked at the passage on the far left.

"Is there any movement over there?"

Chen Mo, who completely believed in Absolu, did not hesitate at all, and led the elves directly and slowly walked into the leftmost passage.

——

at the same time.

Another place in the Sand Cave.

Gengar looked solemnly at the six passages that appeared in front of him.

As a ghost, Geng Gui has never been an elf that takes an ordinary path. Therefore, when he saw six passages appearing in front of him, Geng Gui did not choose any of them, and his body penetrated directly into the wall on one side. , I plan to walk around first to see if I can bump into my trainer and Pikachu.

result.

Something Gengar didn't expect happened.

When it ran a long distance and got out of the wall again, it found that six more passages leading to unknown directions appeared in front of it.

and.

The most important thing is.

Gengar felt that this was the place he had been to last time, and the reason was a series of symbols engraved above the six passages.

Although Gengar couldn't understand it, he had an impression that the symbol was exactly the same as the one he saw last time.

While vigilance arose in his heart, Gengar, who did not believe in evil, once again used his wall-penetration technique. As expected, when he got out of the wall, what came into view were the six unknown paths leading to where. strange passage.

For ordinary humans and elves, this situation can be said to be extremely strange.

But for Gengar.

It's so familiar!

Isn't this the ghost-beating wall that it often used to play tricks on other humans and elves?

Every time he saw those humans and elves dizzy, with expressions of fear slowly emerging on their faces, Gengar would feel a deep sense of joy at the success of his prank.

“叏思…”

Gengar felt a little worried.

It felt that there must be something hiding in the dark, trying to tease it.

If it were normal, Gengar would never choose the six passages in front of him.

but…

In his mind, the scene of Chen Mo and Pikachu sinking into the quicksand whirlpool flashed quickly, and the expression on Gengar's face gradually became firm.

It has to go.

It needs to know whether its trainer and Pikachu are safe now.

only…

Which channel should I choose?

Gengar started to worry again.

Just then.

It suddenly felt a vibration coming from its hand.

That's the phone it's been holding.

"叏Si!?" (Is it Chen Mo?)

I thought it was Geng Gui who was being contacted by Chen Mo, so he hurriedly moved his eyes to the screen of his mobile phone, only to see a line of text that was being entered on it.

[The symbols on the passage are most likely characters from ancient times in the Shenhe area. I tried to use the modern characters in the Shenhe area in the database to conduct a comparison and translation. 】

Gengar was stunned.

"叏思?" (Who are you?)

The text being entered on the screen paused for a moment, and then, after all was cleared, two new lines of text appeared in Gengar's field of vision again.

[From left to right, the information above the channel is happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise, and anger. 】

[It doesn’t matter who I am, but please choose the channel you want to go to carefully. 】

Geng Gui frowned and realized that things were not simple.

It's no longer an internet idiot!

There is definitely something wrong with this kind of text that can inexplicably talk to oneself!

By the way, I get it!

"叏思!" (You must be the mastermind behind this!)

Gengar saw through everything.

The next second.

A series of ellipses flashed across the phone screen.

Gengar felt even more that he had guessed correctly.

"叏Si!?" (Say! What conspiracy do you have!?)

【……】

It's still a series of ellipses.

After questioning him several times and finding out that the mastermind behind the scenes didn't respond, Gengar couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"叏Si!" (Hmph! Don't let me and my trainer catch you, otherwise, you won't be able to eat any juice!)

Finally, Gengar angrily walked into the passage that represented surprise.

after all.

Gengar is an elf who is born to like mischief, so he prefers the word "surprise".

other side.

Marshado and Pikachu, who were also facing six passages, had already walked into the two passages of sadness and fear respectively before Gengar made a choice.

——

"This cave is too complicated."

Walking in the narrow passage, Chen Mo kept silently recording how far he had traveled, and from time to time he used the power of waveguide to leave a small mark on the wall.

Although I believe in Absol's ability, in such a complicated cave, if you don't leave any marks, it will be easy to stun people.

"Ab!"

Just then.

Absol, who was leading the way, suddenly slowed down and stopped at a corner.

It turned its head and roared twice towards Chen Mo.

"Abo..." (The movement I sensed just now is now right in front of me...)

"Um."

Chen Mo nodded and fully deployed the power of the wave guide.

Although the detection range of the waveguide is suppressed, the distance of twenty meters is not completely useless, especially when combined with Absol's perception.

As the ability was activated, the world in front of Chen Mo turned into the familiar black and white. The obstacles in front of him kept disappearing. Chen Mo's vision easily passed the wall in front and saw the scene on the other side of the corner.

Ten meters away, it was already the exit of this passage.

Looking around, another small space connecting three forked roads appeared in the field of vision.

And the movement mentioned by Absol was a group of creatures with crab-like bodies, whose torsos were composed of a large rock and three small rocks, lining up and walking from one passage to another.

"Mantle rock?"

Although the vision was black and white, Chen Mo still easily recognized this kind of Pokémon, and the expression on his face was slightly disappointed.

What he wanted to meet most was naturally the three Pokémons of Pikachu.

However.

"Since there is mantle rock in this cave..."

Chen Mo was thoughtful.

Mantle rock is a rock-type Pokémon commonly found in caves. It is reasonable for them to appear in this environment.

But...

Considering that this place might be in the territory of a certain legendary elf, then since the other party allows a small elf like Mantle Rock to live here, it proves that its character should not be so bad.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo's spirit was lifted, and his mind quickly searched for the elves that might be the owner of this territory again.

But soon.

Chen Mo gave up again.

Except for the notorious God of the Earth and the Ultimate Beast, the other legendary elves with ground attributes or rock attributes, according to the memory of the previous life, seem to have good personalities.

"..."

Chen Mo shook his head helplessly, and waited for the Mantle Rock team in front to enter a passage. After hesitating for a moment, he followed quietly with the elves.

As for why he did this.

That's because Chen Mo no longer has the omnipotent Gengar around him.

You know, when he came out, most of the things were put in Gengar's four-dimensional pocket by Chen Mo. The backpack he was carrying now has extremely limited materials, especially things like water and food.

So

Chen Mo, who still didn't know when he could find Gengar, was in urgent need of replenishing the corresponding resources. The places where the mantle rocks lived generally had extremely pure groundwater.

This was beyond doubt.

After all, the energy source of the mantle rock clan mainly came from the rich minerals contained in the groundwater.

As long as they followed them, they would definitely find the water source.

At this moment.

The mantle rock clan, who didn't notice that there was a group of little followers behind them, still marched in a neat pace and continued to move forward in the winding cave.

About ten minutes later.

Without Absol's reminder, Chen Mo also heard a burst of "gurgling" water sounds coming from the passage ahead.

Chen Mo licked his dry lips.

After realizing that Gengar was gone, he deliberately saved resources. In addition, he had been riding Pidgeot in the sun before, and he hadn't drunk water for several hours.

He couldn't wait to walk out, and after passing through the narrow passage, an extremely wide space appeared in front of him.

Chen Mo's pupils slightly dilated.

In the field of vision.

A long river with sparkling waves passed through the sandy land covered with jagged rocks, and on both sides of the long river, groups of elves of various shapes, such as mantle rocks, sand hippocampus, sand mole, armored rhinoceros, and ultrasonic larvae, were staying there, either playing or drinking water quietly.

For a while, the scene became extremely lively.

I just entered the late night mode, and I am not used to it. There are still four more to go. I will update twice tomorrow!
