Chapter 51 The Altar Behind the Secret Door

Information about the past is kept secret in this world, and Shen Dai doesn't know much about it, so Zhou You didn't explain it in detail. The two immediately started to copy the stone tablets in the ancient ruins.

In a corner of the ruins, Zhou You found a strange stone tablet standing in an open area.

There was only a short line of text on it, and there was nothing around it. There was also a solid wall behind it, which seemed to be somewhat out of tune with the stone tablets in the entire ruins.

"There seems to be a secret door in this wall." Zhou You glanced at the stone tablet and said.

"Is that so?"

Shen Dai walked forward and continued to detect with the tools at hand, but did not get any feedback as he should.

"Could it be that the translation is wrong? In my opinion, this whole wall is solid and there is no space for hiding secret doors."

Facing Shen Dai's question, Zhou You shook his head and slowly came to the wall.

There was only a short line of text on the stone tablet, which translated into:

Ahead, rock breaking technique.

In other words, you have to break this wall directly to open up a new road.

So he gathered his breath, clenched his fists tightly, looked at the wall, and gradually increased his momentum.

Shen Dai: "You want to use your luck against the wall??"

"Ahem, Mr. Shen Dai, please ask the elves to use Rock Break on the wall."

After all, it is still too difficult for him to directly break a whole wall.

Shen Dai thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

Well, anyway, even the locals of the Island of Gathering Fate did not protect this relic, so all the parts that can be explored, copied, and protected must have been completed.

Looking at the dilapidated appearance here, the really important things must have been properly kept.

In this case, breaking a wall that has no value should be harmless.

"Come out, Wandering Night Spirit, use Rock Break on this wall!"

A short, fat, one-eyed ghost wrapped in bandages appeared from the Poké Ball. After receiving the order, it condensed its fist and punched the wall!

Zhou You took the opportunity to collect illustrations:

"Ding Ding~ Wandering Night Spirit, beckoning Pokémon. There is a hole inside its body, which will swallow wandering souls. It is said that staring at the hole in its belly will suck the soul in."

"Ding Ding~ Recommended item: Evolution Stone. It strengthens its defense to the limit, acts as a disruptor and joint defender in the space system, and brings smiles in battle."

"Evolution Stone?" Hearing the recommended items in the illustrations, Shen Dai was surprised, "Isn't that an item that can only be used by non-final stage Pokémon using the power of evolution?"

Not knowing if this thing was nonsense, he decided to buy one to try after returning, anyway, it wouldn't hurt to try.

But maybe it will become more powerful after evolution?

Just as Shen Dai was struggling to choose between evolution and evolution stone, Zhou You suddenly realized a problem-can the evolution stone be used to determine which Pokémon can continue to evolve upward?

Although it is not possible in the game, is it useful to give Diancie, who can mega evolve, an evolution stone in reality?

150 double defense becomes 225 double defense, and 100 double attack... A monster with an effective racial value of up to 700 should not have such an outrageous thing.

Before Zhou You could continue to think, the dust stirred up by the wall smashed by the Wandering Night Spirit gradually dissipated, and a dark passage with no bottom was revealed.

"There really is a secret passage!?"

Seeing this, Shen Dai frowned, but he had the idea of ​​retreating.

It was not that he was worried about encountering danger, but there was no team to follow him on this trip, and he could only guarantee the personal safety of himself and Zhou You at most.

If he touched something that he shouldn't touch, causing an accident in the ruins, the two of them would not have time to rescue the things in the ruins!

Just as Shen Dai was considering whether to advance or retreat at this time, Zhou You had already sent a small fire dragon from the Pokémon Ball and walked in with the light from its tail.

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and hurried to follow, so as to avoid the other party's clumsy hands and feet from breaking things.

This passage is very winding, and the total length is only about 20 meters.

The deeper you go, the rougher the surrounding rock walls become, and the hot sulfur smell gradually emanates.

"Could this secret passage lead to the interior of the Lantern Mountain?"

When he reached the end, Shen Dai had already forgotten the hidden danger of being imprisoned, and was looking forward to what was about to come into his sight!

"(Excited) Wow!"

Arthur accidentally kicked a stone away while walking. He curiously observed the stone for a moment, and excitedly handed it to Zhou You who was following closely behind.

"It is crystal clear, and there is energy like flame inside that is constantly leaping, and it continues to emit warm energy." Shen Dai came up and commented, "The flame inside this fire stone is blue in color, and the quality is extremely excellent. Your little Charmander has picked up a treasure."

This boy's Caterpie happened to be able to use the fire stone to evolve, which made Shen Dai sigh at his amazing luck.

For archaeologists and explorers like him, everything is secondary, and only luck is a must-have element.

Although it was a bit rude, Kamishiro was a typical unlucky person.

He had been pursuing the legendary giant Pokémon in the Hoenn region since he was young, but he wasted 10 or 20 years until recently.

As a result, Zhouyou found a secret passage as soon as he arrived, which made Kamishiro quite jealous of his luck.

The locals haven't finished translating the text on the stone tablet yet. How much do they care about this place...

"Thank you, Arthur, but I don't really need this. You can keep it." Zhou You handed the Fire Stone back and rubbed Arthur's smooth head. "Now is not the best time for Leftovers to evolve. I'll find another Fire Stone for it later."

"Wow?"

"Are you planning to stimulate the ancient bloodline hidden in the body of the Caterpillar?" Shen Dai asked in confusion.

"Yes, at least you have to master the reverse scale or play..." Realizing that the fairy attribute has not yet been established, Zhou You quickly changed his words and said, "In short, I plan to try to activate the power in its body before evolving."

"Tsk tsk, then I have to look forward to the future achievements of this Caterpillar."

Seeing that there was nothing else worth noting nearby, the two simply continued to move forward.

During this time, Zhou You took out a fire-resistant silk bag specially made for fire elves to carry props from his backpack and hung it around Arthur's neck to facilitate the placement of the Fire Stone.

Not long after, an empty stone room in a nearly square shape appeared in front of the two.

There were only two things in the whole stone room.

The first was the altar in the middle, which was made of two pieces of volcanic stone that were polished into regular tetrahedrons and embedded in the shape of a hexagram. The top corners had been smoothed, and a gem emitting dazzling red light was placed on it.

The second was the stone tablet in the north, which contained obscure and severely eroded inscriptions. Even Zhou You could not translate it completely in a short time, and still needed more references for comparison.

After all, he really had no way to solve the missing words, so he could only spend a lot of time to fill in the words and ponder them.
