Elf Tomb Raider

Chapter 48 Demon Forest
Because of the long distance, Jiang Sheng got up early in the morning, and under the moon that had not yet set, went to the penultimate village in his planned itinerary.

The distance could be more than ten kilometers. Jiang Sheng didn't push the cart, but just carried a decent sack and went out.

Anyway, there is a [backpack], so taking a sack is just a symbol.

Today's acquisition activities are still not very smooth, because the wild is full of Pokémon, and there is very little communication between the villages, so the exclusivity is very strong.

And peddlers like Jiang Sheng who collect things are the ones who are most boycotted.

On the one hand, they want to sell things to Jiang Sheng, on the other hand, they think that Jiang Sheng has lowered the price that should be given, and as long as he changes hands, he can exchange for high profits.

A few decades ago, he was called "speculators", and he was the person everyone looked down on the most.

Until noon, a total of more than 100 copper coins, a well-maintained oil-paper umbrella, a rusted military uniform of the previous generation, a matching official knife, and a gun head without a wooden pole were collected.

After getting these things, Jiang Sheng directly sacrificed them to the birthmark and got more than 600 points of ancient energy.

After noon, he packed up the leftovers and prepared to leave. In the afternoon, he had to go to the city to find Li Lan, stay at her place for one night, and go to the Yusanjia together tomorrow morning.

But when he put the sack on Deluby's back, a scruffy boy stopped him.

Jiang Sheng took a closer look, but he couldn't say that this young man was sloppy.

He just wears worn-out clothes with sporadic patches on them, and a pair of sneakers with thumbs exposed on his feet. I don't know if they belong to him or if they are picked up by others.

Although the young man was not dressed well, his face was fair, his eyes were shining, and he was in good spirits.

"Brother, do you want to sell antiques too?"

The businessman greeted all the guests with a smile, but Jiang Sheng would not do things that look down on others, especially the young man's eyes, which were very bright, showing their sharpness, and moving forward with high spirits.

This reminded him of his former self. Even though Long Yu was swimming in the shallows, he still had a lot of pride and ambition in his heart!
De Ruby: Shameless!

Kathy: Yes, yes!

"I don't have any antiques, and I don't even have a home. Where can I get antiques?"

The boy replied very openly.

"Then you..."

The corner of Jiang Sheng's mouth twitched, he didn't understand why he called him to stop him?
"I know where there are antiques, it depends on whether you dare to go!"

The corners of Jiang Sheng's eyebrows twitched wildly, as if he wanted to crush this brat to death with one finger.

I also know that there are no antiques, there are many in the museum, but do I dare to go in?
"A bronze statue, at least a thousand years ago, and it has been enshrined for more than two or three hundred years. Do you dare to ask for it?"

Jiang Sheng's heart moved, and he immediately understood the origin of the bronze statue in the young man's mouth.

"From the Liao Dynasty?"

"That's right, the dignitaries of the Liao Dynasty built it just to pray for rain. It should be a certain 'Dragon King'!"

Zhaoyang City has experienced nine droughts in ten years since ancient times, so almost every village here has a "Dragon King" temple. Of course, this is not a real dragon, but a Pokémon that can fly clouds and rain.

Most of them are Lotte Kappa, Toad King, and Mosquito Swimmers. I heard that most of them in Bincheng are offering thorns to Dragon King.

That is the real Dragon King. The purpose of their worship is to hope that there will be less rain. In the coastal cities, once a tropical storm comes, the flood will swallow everything.

"You want me and you to steal the stone statue of the Dragon King Temple in your village? Brother, I don't want to be beaten to death, this business can't be done!"

Jiang Sheng waved his hands again and again. There is also a Dragon King Temple in his own village, which was built by the previous generation. Didn’t he, a rabbit who likes to eat grass beside the nest, not steal it?

This kind of spiritual civilization sustenance shared by a village cannot be touched under any circumstances.

Although he is obsessed with collecting ancient energy, he also knows what to do and what not to do.

"No, listen to my explanation. The Dragon King Temple in our village was built just a few decades ago. How can it have a thousand-year history?"

"The temple I'm talking about is in the deep mountains. It was occupied by powerful Pokémon hundreds of years ago. Now it's very gloomy. People who went in never came out and died inside. That's why the Dragon King Temple has long been abandoned. There should be something you want inside."

Jiang Sheng's heart skipped a beat when the young man explained it like this. If it was true as he said, it would be worth a try.

And this young man has already pointed out the danger, so he didn't want to trick him.

"So, what do you want?"

Jiang Sheng asked.

"Everyone in the village knows about the existence of the ruined temple, but there have been deaths in it, so no one would dare to take you there."

"I can take you there, but only to the periphery. Before that, you have to do something for me, and after that, your life and death have nothing to do with me."

"what's up?"

"You are a trainer. I can feel that this Deruby is very strong. I will take you to the territory of the Orb Silk Spider. You have to help me catch the leader of the Orb Silk Spider. The level should be 6 to 7. I have the poke ball here, and it will not take up your quota. Do you think this deal is suitable?"

The Pokémon transmission device has been researched, and the crackdown on Heitoqiu is also because it does not want people to carry more than six Pokémon out, so as not to cause great damage to human society.

This young man is very knowledgeable, and he prepared a poke ball, which is why he came here to discuss business with sincerity.

The transaction is suitable, very suitable, just as it is convenient, Jiang Sheng immediately agreed.

"Can we go now?"

Because there was a bus to catch in the afternoon, Jiang Sheng was in a hurry, and planned to take the bronze statue and leave.

Probably a bronze statue...

After all, it was said by this person himself, so it should still be there...

The two set off immediately, passed through the village, and took the path into the mountain forest.

Jiang Sheng was first brought to the territory of the orb silk spider by the young man Yang Lin. There were a total of eight orb silk spiders, all hovering around level 4 or 5. The leader of the orb silk spider was a circle larger than ordinary orb silk spiders, reaching level 7. It can be seen that the boy did not cheat him.

The current Dai Rubi is no longer the six-level little guy in the past.

Just yesterday, during this period of time, the energy accumulated by eating pills and absorbing magic flames was released, and Deluby had already reached level 12.

When it stood in front of this group of orb silk spiders and released its malice, these guys were too scared to move.

Intimidated by Dai Rubi, the leader of the Orb Silk Spider was successfully subdued, but Yang Lin still needed to get in touch with it, which was out of Jiang Sheng's control.

Satisfied, Yang Lin finally kept his promise and brought Jiang Sheng to a dry forest. He finally ordered:

"According to my deceased adoptive father, this forest appeared 600 years ago, with a length of about two kilometers and a span of about 500 meters at the widest point, with irregular branches."

"During the Liao Dynasty, the Pokémon that occupied this place for the first time was most likely a Rotten Wood Demon. I don't know the life and death of this ghost-type Pokémon, and I don't know if there will be a newcomer to replace it."

"In addition, the Dragon King Temple or the Mountain God Temple is also fine. It's right in the middle of this woodland. After entering, the position of the trees will change, like an active maze. At this time, don't cut the bark and leave marks, because all those who do this will die. Destroying the forest is the most unbearable thing for the Rotten Wood Demon!"

"If you are also lost in it, just wait. As long as you don't destroy the trees and have enough food and water, you may come out one day."

"Of course, so far, no one has come back alive from it."

"Finally, what I want to tell you is that my parents were also accomplished trainers, but they died inside. The mountain temple must exist, and there must be some in the antiques. Now the choice is in your hands."

"I wish you a triumphant return!"

After speaking, Yang Lin bowed to Jiang Sheng, and then left without looking back.

Looking at Yang Lin's disappearing back, Jiang Sheng didn't stop him. He frowned and reassessed the horror of this forest.

In this forest, the distance between each tree is extremely close, and there is only a gap of more than one meter.

Each tree is tall and slender, the trunk is full and full, the branches are deformed and twisted, and there are only a few green leaves on the high crown.

Every tree looks like a rotten wood demon. Could the Pokémon hidden in it be a rotten wood demon or a wood spirit?

What was mentioned in Yang Lin's exhortation earlier is also very similar to the habits of the little wood spirit and the dead wood demon given in the illustrated book.

Jiang Sheng looked down at the birthmark on his left hand.

Great, reacted!
This shows that there is really a lot of ancient energy in it, and he doesn't even need to confirm whether the ancient temple exists.

Take out the poke ball and wake up Casey who is sleeping inside.

"Walk with me and leave your mark on the surrounding trees."

Jiang Sheng has already inquired about the distance of Casey's teleportation. With the support of super power marks, the maximum range of teleportation is 500 meters in a straight line.

If you don't mark the mark in advance, you can only move freely within a radius of 10 meters.

As long as the superpower mark is left outside, if there is no accident, even if he is in danger in the woods, Casey can use teleportation to take him to escape.

After spending an hour circling the woods to stay behind, Jiang Sheng led Dai Rubi and Casey into the weird woods.

Deluby opened the way ahead, and Jiang Sheng walked in the middle, holding Deluby's elf ball in his hand, ready to take it back at any time.

Casey was in charge of breaking the back, and took Jiang Sheng to teleport away whenever there was any trouble.

"Cathy, can you feel the imprint outside?"

After getting a positive answer from Casey, Jiang Sheng was relieved, his escape plan now had a half success rate.

The other half depends on whether the opponent has skills such as black eyes and provocation.

quiet!
Very quiet!

This was Jiang Sheng's only perception of the woods. After advancing more than 100 meters, there were no normal trees around.

Jiang Sheng also didn't see a Pokémon living in the woods.

Whether it's Bobo, sparrow, or unicorns and green caterpillars everywhere, there is not a single one. This place is like a restricted area of ​​life.

A sense of dizziness hit, and the world spun like an earthquake.

Jiang Sheng's face changed suddenly, and he grabbed Dai Ruby's collar, and Casey also put his hand firmly on Jiang Sheng's shoulder.

"The tree is moving, what should we do?"

Zhengtai's voice sounded in Jiang Sheng's mind.

"Can you still feel the mark outside?"

"can."

"Then wait and see, the owner of this place should have discovered us!"

In just over ten seconds, the vibration in the ground stopped, and the trees whose figures kept moving changed back to their original state, and the forest returned to peace.

Jiang Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment, but found that Casey's face was ugly, and he panicked:
"Casey, can't you find the super mark?"

"I don't remember some of them. It should be that our position has been moved, beyond the scope, and others can still be used."

"What matters now is that we're lost!"

"what?"

Jiang Sheng couldn't believe it.

get lost?

It is impossible to get lost with coordinates!
　Brother Meng, remember to help me tomorrow! ! !
　　Grateful!
