Hunter x Hunter: Pokémon Master, the World's Strongest

Suddenly, the huge tail behind him swung violently, and it was covered with countless diamond-like substances.

The damage was raised to a higher level.

This was the ability of [Gem] obtained after eating the stone diamond.

So, a strengthened iron tail rushed straight to the body of [Wu Xiang Yan], as if carrying a heavy load.

Even when swinging, it would produce an extremely heavy sound of breaking through the air, and a strong wind would blow in the valley.

[Wu Xiang Yan] pulled with both hands, trying to quickly grab the iron tail of the big steel snake.

However, when his hands touched the iron tail, the thousand-pound force could not be resisted at all, and his hands were immediately shattered!

The iron tail was still powerful, rushing straight to [Wu Xiang Yan] and hitting steadily.

Boom!

The sound of a missile explosion resounded through the valley, and [Wu Xiang Yan] seemed to be bombed by several rounds of missiles at the same time.

The torso was immediately blown to pieces, and several rocks were wrapped in thick smoke and dust and spread on the field.

As the big steel snake gained a new experience value, [Wu Xiang Yan] also died completely.

Seeing this, Steelix did not despise it and started to eat the rock directly.

While gaining new experience points, Steelix also gained a new ability.

[Powerful Repair]: If the body is damaged and parts are separated, it will automatically return to the body and merge into one 563.

If the damaged part is too serious, it will not be able to be repaired, and the ability requires a lot of energy.

With this ability, Steelix has completely become a pentagonal meat shield.

There are explosions, poisons, and diamonds in terms of offense.

There are gas in terms of assistance.

There are black shocks and diamonds in terms of defense.

There are shadows and electromagnetic floating in terms of movement.

There is powerful repair in terms of treatment.

After eating [Phaseless Rock], Link continued to ride Steelix towards the depths.

There was nothing special on the way, and the surrounding rock walls were still orange-red.

But for some reason, there was no second batch of rockfish except the first batch.

Maybe there were not many rockfish, so it was difficult to encounter them.

But there was one thing that Link felt was a little strange.

As he went deeper, the thick fog in the air became thinner and thinner.

At the same time, the progress of the new breeding bar in his mind was also advancing rapidly.

He rarely saw breeding bars like this, and the one that impressed him the most was Gengar's breeding bar.

He obtained it in the Halim Ruins, and he needed to go deeper and deeper into the Halim Ruins before he could breed it.

In other words, this breeding bar was the same as Gengar's breeding bar, and he needed to go deeper and deeper.

Generally speaking, when this happens, there will be something unusual in the depths.

Sure enough, after moving forward quietly for more than ten minutes, Link suddenly found that the rock wall next to him had changed.

The originally bare rock wall suddenly appeared with dense and complex lines.

Some of these lines were twisted like earthworms, and some were very square.

It looked very strange when combined together.

However, the most common ones were some dot-shaped lines similar to Braille, which were almost everywhere.

These spots formed some kind of information that Link didn't know, and they also emitted a faint green light.

In this dim valley, a lot of light is provided, and you can see farther.

So... is this a relic?

Link stared at the ghostly scribbles on the rock wall, and his brows subconsciously frowned.

He always felt that these messy lines played a certain role, and they didn't seem to be put there casually.

It looked like...

Divine words

But Porygon Z, who had learned Divine words, said that this was not Divine words.

To be honest, it was a kind of text with special abilities, but it was not Divine words.

If you want to decipher it, it would take a lot of time.

Link didn't care about this, and let Porygon Z take his time. He was not in a hurry.

If it was really a text similar to Divine words, it meant that there were people living here, or there was civilization.

And it was before the Kuruta tribe lived here.

Because from the words of the old patriarch, they have lived here since ancient times, and have never seen a second human race around.

In this way, it means that this volcanic area may have had other species living before the Kuruta tribe lived?

The reason why it is called a species is because Link is not sure whether it is human.

After all, judging from the stone giants, diamond elves and other species encountered before, their intelligence is not inferior to that of humans.

In the dark continent, everything may have wisdom, and humans are no longer the overlord.

However...

The complex and strange patterns, plus the various types of rock disasters encountered at the bottom of the valley

This made Link wonder, as if a Pokémon figure vaguely appeared in his mind.

If that was the case, his hunch was right this time, it was indeed a very good Pokémon.

With excitement, Link continued to stay on the back of the Steelix and move forward steadily.

However, after a period of peace, he inevitably encountered new problems.

I saw a tall figure blocking the way, with almost no gap behind.

It was more like an obstacle that had been set up long ago, preventing other things from going behind.

In front of Link was a "tree" about hundreds of meters high.

The "trees" grew closely together, with "branches" interlaced and "leaves" overlapping.

It formed a structure similar to a rock layer, occupying an entire area and raising the terrain by a thousand meters.

It is called this because it is not a real tree, but a tree formed by rocks

[Rock Tree]: Although it is made of rock, it can continue to grow like a tree.

It has its own root system, branches and leaves, and there is a huge space underneath, which are densely stacked together.

There are weak spots between the branches, and once a creature steps on it, even a mouse will fall directly.

The creatures that fall into it have no chance to escape, and will only become nutrients for the [Rock Tree].

[Rock Tree] has strange fruits that look like ordinary stones.

It will stay on the [Rock Tree] and will also scatter on the ground. Once a creature approaches, it will explode immediately.

The rock tree seeds inside will immediately take root and parasitize when they encounter flesh and blood, and grow on the creature.

It absorbs enough nutrients and falls off, and matures over time. When the appearance is completely turned into stone material, it matures.

The weakness is water. If it is covered with water, it will not be hurt much.

...

Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Link raised his eyebrows and did not rush forward.

It can be said that he was just a little curious about the depths at first.

But after seeing this [Rock Tree], his curiosity became stronger, and he was determined to reach the depths.

This [Rock Tree] was obviously deliberately stopped, just to prevent creatures from going to the back.

So what is there in the depths?

Is it [Hope] that can bring great benefits?

Or [Disaster] that can destroy everything, including expectations?

No matter which one, since the moment the gestation bar came out, he was destined to go to the depths.

Even [Disaster] can become [Hope] in his hands

For example, as Pokémon experience points?

Link turned over and stepped firmly on the ground. He took two steps forward and saw a football-sized stone.

Whether it was the color or the texture, it was the same as the [Rock Tree] that covered the sky.

Link stretched out his hand casually, and the stone flew directly into his hand as if it had wings.

Boom!

As if it had a premonition that a creature was approaching, the stone exploded automatically, making a sound like a powerful bomb.

Strangely, there was no gravel inside, but something like powder, scattered everywhere.

They were looking for parasites.

However, they did not encounter what they wanted, but ran to a thin green barrier.

They were blocked and could not move forward.

"It is indeed very sharp."

Link nodded, and the stone exploded about five or six meters away from him.

In other words, as long as someone stepped within five or six meters of this stone, they would be attacked like this.

Link just imagined what other people would become in this situation.

This kind of thing cannot be blocked by mind energy, they will take root directly in the body and erode rapidly.

This is why Link used [Guardian] to block it.

Link suspected that there were many creatures at the bottom of the valley, and they were finally swallowed by this [Rock Tree].

Otherwise, how could this [Rock Tree] grow to this extent?

However, it is also possible that some creatures actively delivered nutrients during growth, deliberately allowing the [Rock Tree] to grow.

This statement also indirectly confirmed his thoughts.

There is probably something deep down.

Now that he has been moving forward, the place where the rock tree is located is no longer a rift valley.

Instead, he has come to the inside of the mountain, and there is no road for him to go up on the top.

In other words, there is probably something hidden inside this mountain.

Link tapped his feet lightly, jumped up, and landed steadily on the Steelix again.

The next moment, the Steelix and Link sneaked into the shadows together, bypassing the [Rock Tree] and going to the back.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that there is such a way to go deep down, right?

After a few breaths, the Steelix carrying Link emerged from the shadows, and the road in front of him was unusually bright.

There is no more fog here, but instead there are dense lines on the rock walls on both sides.

The lines here are more and denser than those outside, as if the person who drew them was worried that there were not enough, so he drew them desperately.

The faint green light from these lines made the entire passage, including Link's face, shine green.

This environment feels like something out of an old horror movie, as if a ghost in white will appear at any moment.

Those lines that make one's scalp tingle are like a Taoist spell, as if to suppress some kind of ghost.
