Start with Awakening the Spirit

290. Mysterious mural

Secret realm, in the endless desert.

Jiang Xiao, Die Xiaodie, and Stilosaurus were walking forward aimlessly.

They carry various materials on their backs, some of which are natural materials, such as hard ore, sandy rocks, and others, and some are materials exploded from elves, such as the wings of ultrasonic larvae, the back armor of mandible ants... …

Gao Yunting and the others didn't find anything. That was because they didn't study well.

For Jiang Xiao, a god of learning, there are many good things in the desert.

Sometimes, Jiang Xiao has to decide whether it's appropriate to take this thing away, because he really doesn't have any extra space.

Jiang Xiao is a little depressed now. If he had known it, he would have prepared a backpack in advance. Who would have thought that participating in a security mission would encounter a secret realm and gain a lot of money.

"When I get back to school, maybe I can buy a storage bracelet!"

An idea flashed through Jiang Xiao's mind.

The storage bracelet is not some fantasy insert, but a high-tech product created by the Empire's research on small space storage technology in the secret world.

Although mass production is now possible, it is extremely expensive and must be ordered in advance.

There is no such channel outside, but Nanhai University has this channel. As long as you spend enough points, it is not difficult to buy one.

However, a storage bracelet, even the smallest one of 1x1x1=1 cubic meter, requires a high price of one thousand points.

This is equivalent to 1000 million!

This is already a cheap price, because demand is greater than supply. On the black market, a 1 cubic meter storage bracelet has been sold for 2000 million.

"Gulu~~"

At this moment, Die Xiaodie's cry reached Jiang Xiao's ears. Jiang Xiao raised his head and looked into the distance, seeing a towering black shadow disappearing into his eyes.

It had always been monotonous yellow sand, but the sudden appearance of the "big mountain" instantly nourished Jiang Xiao's dry and numb soul.

After confirming that it was not a mirage, Jiang Xiao quickly urged Die Xiaodie and the others to take action.

In order to speed up, Die Xiaodie had to carry everything, and Jiang Xiao let Styrophosaurus hold everything.

Styrophysosaurus has its back facing the direction of the mountain.

An icy blue breath shot out, and then the Styracosaurus was like a cannonball, flying towards the mountains at the end of the sky with Jiang Xiao.

"Gulu~~"

Master, wait for me, Guhe~~

As he continued to approach the "big mountain", Jiang Xiao saw that it was not a mountain, but a huge mountain-like stone tower.

After seeing the stone tower, Jiang Xiao's face showed even more excitement.

There is such a man-made building in the secret realm, which means... this is a ruins!

Relics are often synonymous with wealth, secret treasures, and technology. As long as you get one of them, even ordinary people will skyrocket.

According to some gossip, it is said that there is mysterious technology in the secret realm that allows ordinary people to awaken their talents. I don’t know if it is true or not.

Anyway, there are people in alliances around the world discussing non-contractual ordinary Poké Ball technology and technology for awakening talent attributes...

Everything can benefit the public, and even turn the group of trainers into trainers for all.

...............

After taking off and landing again and again, after an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xiao finally arrived under the stone tower.

Jiang Xiao almost couldn't bear the "flying" being carried by the Styracosaurus and vomited.

Jiang Xiao took a few deep breaths. The hot air poured into his lungs, and a hot feeling came. He looked up and observed the stone tower.

It is as huge as a hill and is located at the bottom of the tower. The top of the tower cannot be seen at a glance.

“What a big tower!!”

Jiang Xiao exclaimed, he didn't know how many people and years it would take to do this.

"Gulu~~!"

Die Xiaodie nodded in agreement. She had just used her superpower to shake the stone tower, but found that she couldn't do it. It was...too big.

"Gulu~~?"

Suddenly, Die Xiaodie let out a startled sound and flew towards the left side of the stone tower.

Seeing Die Xiaodie's movements, Jiang Xiao was a little confused and followed with the Styracosaurus.

After a while, Jiang Xiao followed Die Xiaodie and saw traces of "human" activities, as well as a cave entrance about two meters high.

Judging from the traces of the hole, this hole should have just been drilled.

Jiang Xiao immediately thought of the missing contestants, and his spirits suddenly trembled.

"Styrosaurus, come back first!"

Jiang Xiao looked at the entrance of the tunnel, and then at the Styrophysosaurus. The size of the Styrophysosaurus was impossible to get through, so Jiang Xiao put it away and walked into the stone tower with Die Xiaodie.

The air in the stone tower was not dirty, and Jiang Xiao guessed that there might be other places connected to the outside world.

Jiang Xiao stood still inside the stone tower.

Because suddenly from a bright place to a dark place, there will be a parallax, that is, the eyes will be dark and nothing can be seen.

After a moment of adapting on the spot, Jiang Xiao looked around and discovered that this was a tunnel.

Around the tunnel, there are some moss that emit light green fluorescence.

[Light Moss: If the Pokémon carrying it is attacked by water-type moves, its special defense will be increased. 】

"Is it Guangmo?!"

This thing is a relatively targeted prop that can play a good role in certain situations, but unfortunately it is a disposable item.

However, this thing is still very useful in an environment with dim vision.

Jiang Xiao didn't bring a flashlight, so the light moss could also be used as a lighting prop.

Jiang Xiao collected some of these light moss, and then walked inside with Die Xiaodie.

Because you can walk on both the left and right sides, Jiang Xiao saw some footprints on the ground. They were walking to the right, so Jiang Xiao chose the left side.

Holding the light moss in his hand, Jiang Xiao sprinkled some light moss on dark places.

After the light moss touched the wall, it spread out a distance on its own.

Relying on this natural fluorescence, Jiang Xiao took the opportunity to check the surrounding environment.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Jiang Xiao suddenly saw changes on the wall on one side of the passage.

Some murals appeared on the walls, and Jiang Xiao could also see various twists and turns of text engraved on them. From time to time, he could even see murals of some strange elves.

For example, there is a strange elf with a muscular appearance, wings swelled on its back, and a dinosaur tail that looks like a Vulcan moth; there is also a strange elf that is surrounded by six prismatic iron pieces and looks like a futuristic mechanical Vulcan moth.

Surrounding these strange fire moths are a group of torch-like reptiles.

Jiang Xiao knew what this kind of elf was.

It is none other than the Bug and Fire-type Pokémon, the Burning Bug, also known as the Torch Pokémon.

The final evolved form of the Burning Bug is the Vulcan Moth, once known as the "Incarnation of the Sun"!

"Ground-crawling wings... iron poisonous moths... fire god moths... burning insects... are they foreshadowing something?"

Jiang Xiao murmured in his heart, and thought about the iron moth taken at the mysterious elf search conference, which resembled a UFO.

Although there is no evidence that

But Jiang Xiao felt in his heart that the iron poisonous moth should come from here.

"No, it should be difficult for paradoxical Pokémon to be born. Why are there so many of them?"

Looking at the crawling wings, Vulcan moths and other elves in the mural, Jiang Xiao felt as if there was a layer of mist shrouding the ruined stone tower.
