Chapter 4 Coco Dora
Cold, dark and dreary.

Even if the environment of the abandoned mine is cleaned up by the quicksand team, it is extremely worrying.

The top of the head was so broken that it seemed that it might collapse at any time.

Fortunately, the inside is quite spacious. In order to allow the mining vehicles that transport ore to run flexibly, the space left is surprisingly large.

Kashiwagi couldn't help admiring that although the Ole area was barren, the level of technology was extremely high.

It's been 10 minutes since the mine went down.

After someone entered the cave, he chose to dig out a jade stone outside. The ping-pong sound of the pickaxe hitting the rock wall made Kashiwagi extremely disturbed, and he quickly moved away from his colleagues, and soon heard terrible bangs and screams.

This brave man's thunder-throwing behavior can be regarded as cutting off the similar thoughts of many people.

"Pay attention to the surroundings and don't get lost."

Headlamps illuminated the surroundings, and the bold colleagues walked in the forefront, reminding them in a low voice from time to time.

In the quiet darkness, the breathing of others can be clearly heard through the mask, and the claustrophobic environment subtly aggravates their psychological pressure.

Most of the children in Huangtie Town have the experience of going down the mine, but the safety of normal mines and abandoned mines is completely different, not to mention potential traps and ambush Pokémon.

There is a part of being attacked by Pokémon in the assessment. For the Olei people, it is as terrible as getting shot when playing escape room in Huaxia.

Therefore, huddling together to keep warm has become the status quo, and the Quicksand team has never prohibited forming a team to participate in the assessment, and it is only natural to form a group to advance.

However, according to seniors who have participated, groups in mines are more likely to be attacked and targeted.Even if you are lucky enough to get any target, there may be a situation where the "loot" is not evenly distributed and turns against each other.

Kashiwagi doesn't really want this to happen.

Originally, they didn't have much advantage against Shibata's group, and if they engage in internal strife, there is a high probability that they will be bullied for a lifetime.

"There is a fork in the road ahead, be careful."

He reminded him, looking around at his colleagues, "The ambush Pokémon is probably there... Don't be so nervous, relax, and take a deep breath."

These people were either sweating profusely, or breathing heavily, and their expressions were a little panicked, obviously extremely nervous.

After finally waiting for them to calm down, Bai Mu said: "Don't stay at the fork in the road, quickly choose the direction to pass, I will come to the rear."

"Eh?"

A group of people looked at him in surprise.

"Don't worry, hurry up, we will have no chance if the tokens are limited and taken away by others."

Kashiwagi walked to the end of the line, "Hurry up."

The crisis that occurs during extreme tension will make people lose their minds, and the desire to survive will force them to do some unwise things. Once they walk in front of the team, once they get confused and are dragged back by someone, they will be finished.

Even if the other party didn't mean it.

How do you say something?When you meet a bear in the wild, you don't need to run faster than the bear, just run faster than others.

He has no intention of being thrown into trouble, but he must avoid being thrown into trouble.

"Cypress..."

Colleagues didn't know what he was thinking, they all looked at him movedly, and turned to encourage each other, and moved forward slowly.

Kashiwagi took a deep breath and looked around vigilantly.

The general idea is that people will die.

The fear of his life reminded him to stay calm all the time, to concentrate and pay attention to every suspicious point.

Team Quicksand's Pokémon are mostly ground and rock-type, so well suited for underground mines that it would be unwise to fight them in any way.

Step into the fork.

The space was a little bigger again, everyone suddenly tensed up, looked around nervously, to confirm whether it was safe and ready to warn at any time, the colleagues walking in the front did not dare to hesitate, and went straight to the mine on the left——

"and many more."

Kashiwagi, who was walking at the end, suddenly made a sound.

Everyone's hearts trembled, and cold sweat overflowed from their foreheads and backs.

"What, what's wrong?" Someone asked tremblingly.

"Don't stay at the fork in the road, but you said it!" Someone was very nervous.

Kashiwagi hissed, "Listen carefully, do you hear a rumbling sound? The ground is also trembling!"

A group of people looked at each other, subconsciously held their breath and listened.

Kashiwagi was also listening, and with his keen perception, he soon noticed that not only was the ground trembling, but the rumbling sound that seemed to be there was also getting louder, as if some kind of object was gradually approaching.

The source is - the hole in the middle!

He was startled, and immediately ran to the left hole while shouting, "Run, something is coming! Hurry up!"

When the voice fell, a huge rolling stone as tall as a person suddenly appeared in the middle cave, and the speed from far to near was surprisingly fast!

"Run there?"

"left!"

"Which is the left side! Where is Kashiwagi!?"

"Hurry up! Don't be stupid!"

The other four people panicked in an instant, their headlights dangling back and forth made their eyes dazzled, and they couldn't see clearly the dark road around them.

But what made it worse was that as the vibration intensified, rocks continued to fall from the top, which seemed to be collapsing, and everything visible to the naked eye trembled.

Crisis, panic and shouts.

A terrifying raid on a giant rolling stone.

Driven by various scalp-numbing factors, Kashiwagi subconsciously ran a long distance.

Not only that, but in his busy schedule, he also carefully observed the surroundings to avoid touching traps and lurking Pokémon.

When I stopped to confirm my safety and turned back, there was no one following up behind me.

The huge rock, which was probably a rumble stone in disguise, was nowhere to be seen.

"There are three paths in total, I chose the left one, right?"

Kashiwagi frowned and waited for a minute, realizing that he was really separated from his colleagues.

back?

Impossible, Rumble Stone might be waiting there.

"..."

He had a look of regret on his face. There were pros and cons to forming a team during the assessment. Although those colleagues did not perform well when they panicked, who knew whether the other party would lend a helping hand in times of crisis?

But if you get lost, get lost, there is no need to force it.

Kashiwagi sorted out his emotions.

It is easy to lose your sense of direction when walking in the underground mine. Fortunately, if you carefully observe the rock walls on both sides, you can see the road signs guiding the direction, so simple and easy to understand that he, a semi-literate man, can understand it.

Walked for about 10 minutes.

He suddenly stopped and squatted down, and turned off the bright headlights, trying to shrink into the depression between the rocks, concealing his figure.

After waiting for half a minute, two supersonic larvae like dragonflies buzzed and flew over the head, and the sound of the insect wings flapping caused Cypress's head to ache one after another.

What made Kashiwagi's heart tremble was that one of them grabbed a young man covered in blood.

fainted?died?
Neither is too good, and it's too dangerous to go it alone.

After finally waiting for the two ultrasonic larvae to fly away, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up when he froze suddenly.

At the end of the line of sight, a pair of blue eyes watched him.

"Goo?"

The unknown being let out a low cry.

Kashiwagi's movements were a little stiff, and the sound of the ultrasonic larva flapping its wings was so loud that he couldn't distinguish the action of the guy in front of him.

He vaguely recognized it.

It is a dark gray body, at first glance it looks like some kind of bug, a strange creature with a head like a hockey mask.

It is as big as an ordinary border herd, and the black holes on its body are a bit scary.

[Iron Armor Pokémon, Cocoa Dora]

Feeds on iron ore, is driven by hunger and even eats bridges and railroad tracks, and is regarded by many as a pest, a steel and rock-type Pokémon.

Damn.

Bad luck.

Kashiwagi's heart gradually became heavy.
