Eye of Darkness

After all, he is the first trainer that Yan Ming has met and chatted with since he left the trial island, and Xiao Mao's cultivation of elves' understanding of combat is what Yan Ming needs to learn. After all, the real world It is somewhat different from games and anime.

But there is no need to rush this matter, just leave a good impression and there will be plenty of opportunities to cultivate friendship in the future.

Although Yan Ming had a good feeling for Xiao Mao, Yan Ming still didn't mind making a small profit in the process of cultivating friendship with Xiao Mao, who was rich in connections and resources.

In particular, Dr. Oki, Xiaomao's grandfather, is not only an authoritative person in the study of Pokémon, but also serves as a consultant for the Quartz Plateau Pokémon Alliance. As a former league champion, Kikuko, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and he were once friends.

It can be said that having Dr. Oki's friendship means having a big backer in the Kanto area.

Yan Ming said, it's not normal for good friends to trouble each other, right?

Yan Ming would never admit that this was the reason why he wanted to cultivate friendship with Xiao Mao.

But having said that, I am 14 years old now, why am I shorter than Xiao Mao, who is not even 12 years old?Is there something wrong with you?

Yan Ming has been complaining about his height since the beginning of the Trial Island. But after experiencing everything on the Trial Island and what happened to the Lin Yi brothers, Yan Ming does not think that the reason for his height is very important. There's probably something else hidden.

Yan Ming knew that there was something wrong with his memory. Apart from wandering around for a while before coming to the Rockets, Yan Ming's memory was too vague. For Yan Ming, whose mental strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. Say, this can't happen.

Therefore, it is very likely that your memory has been lost or modified.

After all, that seems to be the case with Lin Yi's younger brother.

So, with my body like this, it’s possible that I’m really only 10 years old?

After thinking about it for a while, Yan Ming forgot about it.

After all, this is not important to him now. The lost memory is gone if it is gone. It is not something he has experienced anyway.

And the lost memory is not a bad thing for Yan Ming.

Because the lost memory would not be very good if I thought about it, and now Yan Ming has enough strength to seek more valuable things.

So Yan Ming doesn't need to care about those memories at all.

While Yan Ming and Xiao Mao were chatting, they heard a bang and the entire deck was violently shaken. The trainers and elves on the entire deck were in a state of confusion. Yan Ming and Xiao Mao reacted quickly. , grabbed the railing in time to stabilize his body.

Is this the beginning?But how much explosives would it take to cause such a big turmoil on such a large cruise ship the size of a castle? Does Team Rocket really want the Santo Anu sinking?

Yan Ming's eyes darkened slightly. He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Mao, who also had an ugly expression. When the ship stabilized, they all ran towards the place where the sound exploded in tacit agreement.

The explosion was so loud at that moment that it almost made people's eardrums buzz. Yan Ming and Xiao Mao didn't dare to stay, and hurried to the deck where the explosion occurred. Regardless of the origin of the explosion, they needed to understand the current situation. .

The two of them quickly ran towards an open area on the deck. The ground was already in a mess. A large number of debris and glass shards were scattered all over the ground. Even a huge crater was blasted out of the ground. It seemed that the explosion was very powerful. It was huge, and the deck was also riddled with holes.

"Xiao Mao, let me go down and take a look first!"

Yan Ming gave instructions to Xiao Mao and jumped directly into the pit. His body drew an arc in the air and fell to the other side of the pit.

Seeing Yan Ming's deft movements, Xiao Mao swallowed what he was about to say when it reached his mouth.

Well, I don’t seem to have as strong a jumping ability as Xiaoyan…

At this moment, a large number of people had gathered in the pit. When Yan Ming fell into the center of the pit, he happened to see the guards on the ship directing their men to clean up the mess.

Yan Ming did not interrupt, but quietly stood aside and observed carefully.

In the deep pit, several corpses were seen lying on the ground. Among them, three guards died from the bomb, two were injured, and the rest were slightly injured.

However, looking at the tragic situation on the ground and the frightened expressions on other people's faces, Yan Ming knew that the subsequent impact of this incident would be widespread.

Yan Ming saw a corpse lying on the ground next to him. It was a middle-aged man.

This man was well equipped and had an electric baton at his waist. He was obviously a guard here.

Yan Ming looked carefully and found a black and red mark on the neck of the man lying on the ground, indicating that it was caused by a sharp bayonet.

Yan Ming walked closer and carefully observed the man's neck. From his neck, he found a slender hole. The hole was cylindrical and not too deep, but it was enough to penetrate his throat. , reaching directly to his heart.

That's why the man was shot.

And there was a sharp knife chip stuck in his neck.

This blade tip fragment was obviously made of some special material and was extremely hard. Even a sharp blade that could cut through iron like mud would hardly leave any trace on it.

But at the same time, its design is also very clever. The tip itself should be ejected and detached, and there should be a layer of venom smeared on the tip. This venom can not only corrode physical defenses, but also corrode the internal organs and nervous system of living things, and even Even flesh and blood will corrode.

And this man died only after being stabbed in the heart by this sharp knife.

Drawing out the knife and stabbing directly back, the attacker performed the entire movement in one go, showing his skill and skill.

If you bring yourself in, if you are attacked by the same opponent, you will definitely die.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Yan Ming's back.

Since when did Team Rocket have such a powerful person?

That's right, in Yan Ming's opinion, this was probably done by someone from Team Rocket. As for whether it was the trialists or Team Rocket who had originally arranged to lurk here, Yan Ming didn't know.

Now Yan Ming was glad that he had taken off his disguise in advance. After all, Team Rocket had to work together on this mission. If the other party recognized him and had their own information, he could avoid being targeted by the other party.

Yan Ming looked at it for a while, but couldn't see who it was, so he shifted his gaze and continued to look at the surrounding environment. He saw that more than half of the buildings here had collapsed, and some of the remaining buildings had also collapsed.

It seems that when the explosion occurred, some people here were unable to escape and were affected by the explosion. Fortunately, this seemed to be an important place and there were not many people. Otherwise, a lot of people would have died.

"But although it caused some damage to the Santeanu, it didn't have a big impact. What's the point of doing this..."

Yan Ming whispered to himself, then shook his head, he had better leave first, there is no point in staying here.

Yan Ming turned around and was about to leave here to find Xiao Mao when he suddenly felt his body stagnate. He immediately stopped and listened carefully to what was going on around him.

In addition to the noisy busy sounds around, there are the soothing sounds of medical staff.

"What's going on? This feeling of being watched."

Yan Ming thought to himself that he always felt that someone was observing him behind him.

His eyes swept over the body of the man next to him. Yan Ming seemed to have thought of something, and his face became a little ugly. However, Yan Ming did not dare to neglect, and quickly accelerated and walked forward.

Not long after Yan Ming left, two guards wearing security uniforms stopped Yan Ming's progress.

Looking at the two guards in front of him, Yan Ming frowned and thought, had he been exposed?

Thinking of this, Yan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, ready to kill the two people in front of him at any time.

However, the two of them seemed to have expected Yan Ming's vigilance and hurriedly spoke.

"Sorry, young gentleman, the captain has arranged an upper room for you. The captain knows that you may be short of money due to some accidents, so he has prepared some alliance coins for you in the room as a mark of respect."

Hearing the words of the two guards, Yan Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a moment's thought, he understood the key.

"Now the cruise ship has been attacked by unknown forces. Please, sir, please go to the room to take shelter under our protection."

Listening to the words of the two security guards, Yan Ming smiled softly.

"Okay, I understand, thank your captain for me, but I have the ability to protect myself."

With that said, Yan Ming took out a small bag from his bracelet and threw it to the two of them.

Inside are five primary energy cubes with fire attributes.

As for why they do this, first of all, the other party's purpose is this. Although they may not have expected that they would give it directly, their plan is also to connect people.

The price of five primary fire element energy cubes in the market is already very high, and even those with money may not be able to buy them before other major families.

Although it is not clear how many alliance coins the captain gave, it can offset a large part of the ticket of the Sante Annu. Moreover, this can also explain one thing. You have to accept a favor from the other party, but don’t think that this favor will be enough. Enough to connect with his non-existent cultivator network.

The two guards took the bag thrown by Yan Ming. They were both stunned, but after opening it, they looked at it slightly and immediately looked at each other. Then one of the guards took out a magnetic card from his waist.

"Okay sir, we respect your wishes. This is the room key card. The room arranged for you is in the sea view suite on the first floor in Area A."

With that said, he greeted Yan Ming and left in a hurry.

Looking at the two people leaving, Yan Ming rubbed the magnetic card in his hand and sighed slightly.

"It seems that I still underestimated the value of the specialized energy cube."

However, the looming sense of surveillance disappeared after the two guards appeared. It seemed that I might have thought too much. The previous surveillance was probably the work of the captain of the Santeanu.
