[Pokémon] Travel with Xiaomao

The problem before Mr. Mao can be said to be difficult, or it can be said to be extremely simple.

The simple thing is that as long as he can find the mechanism to open the passage, the two of them can walk back to Red Lotus Island on their own two legs instead of going through the long and uncertain waterway.

The difficulty is that they have to find the agency first.

Undoubtedly, although he always looks a little neurotic, Xia Bo's accomplishments in guessing riddles are definitely not something that ordinary people can easily look up to.Although those brain teasers that look like a foolish joke are indeed from his own mouth, which somewhat lowers his own evaluation, but similarly, the helpless situation in front of him is also from his masterpiece .

Where to start?

Xiao Mao shook the wolf-eye flashlight in his hand, looking at it and thinking carefully.

By the way, this wolf-eye flashlight also came from the friendly sponsorship of the proprietress just like the thick padded jacket.In addition, the enthusiastic proprietress originally suggested that they bring a complete set of diving equipment and oxygen cylinders together, but Mr. Mao politely refused.

It's just a visit to the neighborhood. Is it necessary to work so hard?

As for meeting old acquaintances, that was beyond the plan, not to mention the horror story under the cave.

Thinking of the tragedy of being chased and intercepted by the fossil helmets, Xiaomao once again strengthened his determination to find the culprit to recover the debt.

To be honest, the two of them actually found some tricks in their second carpet search.

In fact, they should have noticed these discoveries a long time ago, but on the one hand, the surrounding environment was too dark, and on the other hand, they were attracted by those stone tables and benches, so they didn't look in a specific direction for a while.

"This, is it an oil lamp? It seems that there is still fuel left in it..." Sister Xiao Ye's hometown is in the countryside, so I have seen oil lamps and so on.

After following someone's guidance and seeing the lamp fixed on the wall, Xiaomao immediately understood the various reasons.

After all, this hall-like cave was once used as a temporary place for the Red Lotus Gymnasium for a long time. Basic living facilities should still be available, and of course, minimum lighting is also included.

"Let's see, can you order it?" He thought about it, and immediately proposed.

Those who go out on a trip naturally carry a fire source such as matches with them. Xiaoye didn't spend much effort to light all the eight oil lamps in the hall.

"Well, it's much brighter this way." A certain girl looked at her results and nodded with satisfaction.

In this way... Uh, why didn't anything happen?

Mr. Mao was stunned for a moment.It seems that his prediction is still too naive?If you think about it, if you can trigger the mechanism just by lighting the oil lamp, this puzzle is too simple.

But just now they checked it carefully again, not letting go of every corner, but they still couldn't find anything suspicious...

One of the key points of guessing riddles is the clues. If there are no clues and people can't start, then no matter how amazing the answer is, it can never be regarded as a qualified riddle.

It is impossible for Xia Bo to make such a low-level mistake, so what is left is... the missing places that they haven't noticed yet...

ceiling!

Yes, of course they don't set their sights on the ceiling since they can't reach it at all!

But also because they can't reach it, even if they know that the key point may be on the ceiling, how should they make a move?

Xia Bo is a brilliant question maker, so he will definitely not design an unsolvable riddle, then...

"Ma, Xiaomao, you don't need to be so anxious to come up with a trick, anyway, we still have time, food, water, and even air are enough." Probably seeing the travel companion's face thinking Turning green, Xiao Ye comforted Xiao Mao and sat him down on the stone bench, while taking out his backpack again.

"Have a cup of tea first, take a breather." Sure enough, this is the rhythm of opening a different-dimensional kitchen.

It may be because there are too many nodes to consider, and Xiaomao's thinking is a little slack in turn.

"Take a breath... the air... the wind?" A vague thought suddenly flashed in his mind, although he hadn't grasped the essence yet, he seemed to have a vague feeling of touching the doorway.

He asked without thinking, "Is it windy here?"

The only one who would seriously answer this kind of question as an object is the stupid Yemeizi.

"Of course it's windy, otherwise how could I smell sulfur."

Girl, didn't you attribute the reason for discovering the secret path to intuition?What kind of dog nose are you pretending to be at the moment?

It's a pity that Xiaomao didn't have the heart to complain anymore, but murmured more like talking to himself, "There is wind...is it?" He raised his head and looked thoughtfully at the dark rock wall above his head .

After a while, he seemed to have made a decision.

"Okay, Xiaoye, let's get started."

"Eh?" Ye Meizi looked at the tea sets spread out on the table in confusion, and said weakly, not very confidently, "Afternoon tea..."

"Go back and drink!" As expected, Mr. Mao poured cold water unceremoniously.

The most important thing to be confirmed by the entire organization is the position of the trigger core. Speaking of professionalism, it is the so-called array eye.

Only when you have determined the general direction of the formation eye can you start, otherwise it will be a waste of time at most, and of course you can pass it if you are lucky.

Mr. Mao didn't rely on luck.

From the fruitless carpet search, he keenly deduced that the trigger core was located in the ceiling of the cave.Next, there is the question of how to trigger it.

It seems a bit troublesome to say, but in fact it is not completely without focus.Ceilings, while tricky for people without ladders, are not so much of a hassle for birds with wings.

Then, as long as you release the flying Pokémon, it should be solved.

Xiaomao believes that a Bobo with a strong wind can definitely trigger the mechanism of the ceiling.It's just that it's hard to say where the opened door leads.

In the final analysis, whether to bring the flight system or not is simply a matter of probability.A fair question maker should take into account the various situations of the answerers and synthesize a relatively equal probability of answering the questions for everyone, and design the questions based on this.Then, the method of using the flight system to clear the level obviously has a great possibility of traps.

Of course, it does not mean that this trap will definitely cause danger to people, but at least, it is inevitable to take a long detour.

If there is no one who has a strong intuition like a plug-in and a magical physique that can solve things without any danger, Mr. Mao may also be tricked and fall into a situation where he can't do anything.

In fact, these judgments seem to be not a difficult problem for people with a little bit of IQ, but what follows is precisely for these so-called "smart people" who have a little confidence in their own intelligence.

Yes, this little trap is not a problem at all for someone like Yemeizi who doesn't think too much about it.

But for Xiaomao, it was fatal.

At least, before he was unintentionally reminded by someone's cheating physique, he hadn't fully figured out the truth.

The dome of the hall is in the shape of a huge cone, and the core of the mechanism should obviously be at the top of the cone, which is submerged in shadows, but right below the top, there is a pile of rocks, with no foothold for using methods at all.

Xiao Mao was trapped to death by this.

But the answer is actually right in front of your eyes, clearly presented in front of everyone, and you can achieve your original goal without thinking too much.However, Mr. Mao is too smart and too careful. If he doesn't understand the cause and effect, he can't let go of his mind.

If there is no Xiao Ye, his fame in the first life will probably be ruined this time.Maybe this is also a kind of reward for his kindness to pick someone up.

Wind is an excellent clue.

Yes, only the wind can reach the seemingly untouchable endpoint without hindrance, no matter how tortuous the process is.

So……

"Stand over there, hurry up." Xiaomao commanded quickly.

"Oh." Xiao Ye hurriedly packed her luggage, and ran towards the designated location bouncing around.

Xiaomao's goal is obviously the battlefield in front of the passage covered by the mechanism.

The two stood at each end.

"Call out the lamp ghost."

"Eh--?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up."

"Oh--"

"After I count to three, you have the lamp ghost use the blast flame."

"But……"

"But what?"

"It... will it listen to me?"

"Won't you think of a way?"

"Oh..." Yemeizi struggled to find the baby ball, and said tremblingly, "Come out, lamp ghost..." There seemed to be something in a soft voice after that, it was probably a comforting word, because it was too soft to hear.

Mr. Mao was not idle either, "As for me... come out, Water Arrow Turtle!" The old partner appeared on the stage.

"How is it? Have you communicated?" He confirmed to a certain girl.

"It should be fine." Xiaoye's reassurance seemed to have worked.

Xiaomao cleared his throat, "Okay, pay attention and listen to me count. One, two, three..."

"Light ghosts, explosion flames."

"Water arrow turtle, water cannon!"

The raging fire and the transparent water column collided instantly!

The moment the skills squeezed each other, due to the opposing nature of water and fire, around this battle field as the center, steam like thick fog evaporated.However, the dense fog that was originally thought to gradually cover the entire hall, after rising into the air, seemed to be restrained by an invisible big hand, and stopped spreading, but circled, crookedly towards the conical hole The top floats away.

Xiao Mao's heart immediately relaxed.

He knew that the plan had worked.
