Pokémon: From Magikarp

"call……"

"Cough cough..."

Seeing the sunshine after a long time made Lin Shi couldn't help but take a deep breath, but ended up swallowing a mouthful of sand.

"My subjects, do you see this? This is my kingdom!"

Neftina's voice rang in Lin Shi's ears, with a hint of pride and pride in her words.

Jiangshan? Where?

When Lin Shi looked around, he saw sand everywhere. The boundless desert connected to the blue sky, with no end in sight.

Tsk, this queen doesn't seem to have much knowledge...

"Well, it is indeed magnificent." Lin Shi tightened his throat and said seriously.

"It's good to know..."

"Subject, as long as you find the mask and the scepter for me, I will make you the great general of the country, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory for several lifetimes."

Lin Shi: ...

Such a familiar rhetoric, didn't Queen Neftina also commit telecom fraud...

"Subject, where are you going?"

At this moment, Lin Shi has begun to use the system to walk towards the camp. He has left marks along the way, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.

"Go home, Your Majesty." Lin Shi felt helpless.

"You may have been a spirit for so long that you don't need to eat or drink, but I am a human being. My supplies are almost gone. If I don't replenish my water and food, I will die in the desert before I find your scepter and mask."

"You don't want me to die before I succeed, do you?"

Lin Shi’s words stunned Neftina, and her voice became silent. It seemed that she agreed with Lin Shi’s statement.

Ok……

She is a queen who is good at listening to the opinions of her subjects, and seems to be a wise ruler.

……

There was a small storm in the sky in the distance, and clouds of dust carrying sand were rising over the distant desert.

"It's time to hurry up."

Seeing that a sandstorm was approaching, Lin Shi decided to speed up.

"By the way, Your Majesty, why are you so persistent in getting back the scepter and mask?"

On the way, Lin Shi inquired about the news.

Neftina did not answer. It was unclear whether she was thinking or unwilling to speak. After a while, her voice came slowly.

"That is the symbol of the Queen. We must find it back."

"Yiao." Just when Lin Shi was about to ask further, Circle Bear suddenly looked into the distance and let out a low roar.

Lin Shi looked in the direction where the situation was going on, and saw dust flying in the distance. The desert was surging with waves of sand like the sea. Looking closely, he saw that in the waves of sand were the elves that originally lived in the desert.

Groups of elves, for some unknown reason, gathered together and rushed forward madly.

Lin Shi took a quick glance and saw several elf species including giant-jaw ants, thorny cacti, and sandbag snakes.

What the hell is this? A beast tide?

"Let's hurry up." Lin Shi's expression changed and he quickened his pace.

If he was not mistaken, the direction of these elves was exactly where he was now. In order not to be swallowed by the tide of desert beasts, he had to leave here as soon as possible.

"Um……"

"These elves give me a familiar feeling." Neftina's voice came from the bottom of his heart.

"It's already this late. Your Majesty, you might as well be clear. If I die, no one will help you find things anymore."

"It's the feeling of being 'manipulated'. The actions of these elves are not from their own heart, but are being manipulated by someone."

Neftina said in a calm and quiet tone.

Hearing the queen's words, Lin Shi remembered the introduction of Neftina on the stele. It was said that she had the superpower to manipulate elves. As an expert in this field, her words were highly credible.

Lin Shi turned around to look at the tide of beasts behind him. Although he couldn't see clearly due to the cover of sand and dust, he could tell how many there were. How could there be something that could control so many elves at the same time?

Lin Shi was speeding all the way. Neftina seemed to sense that Lin Shi was busy escaping, and she fell into silence for a rare time.

"No way, I'm already home, you're still chasing me?"

Lin Shi could already vaguely see the end of the desert, and the camp was not far away, but the dust was still flying behind him, and the beast tide showed no sign of stopping. Instead, more and more desert elves gathered from all directions.

Not knowing what had happened in this ghost desert, Lin Shi decided to return to the camp as soon as possible, tell Qin Yunfei and Su Yu about the beast tide, and then evacuate from here as soon as possible. He didn't want to lose his life here with no clear reason.

Lin Shi, riding on the back of Gyarados, sped along at lightning speed and soon saw the outline of the camp.

Lin Shi jumped down and walked quickly into the camp. As soon as he entered the corridor, he met Su Qimeng at the corner.

"Lin Shi? You are here? I went to your room to look for you just now. Where did you go?"

Although it was a lot to go through, it actually didn't take Lin Shi very long. It only took him a day and a half to leave the camp.

"Beast Tide? How come?"

"I've never heard of such a thing..."

Lin Shi quickly told Su Qimeng about the tide of desert beasts rolling in outside.

"Where is Uncle Su now? We must tell him what happened immediately. We can't stay here anymore. We must evacuate immediately."

Lin Shi spoke very quickly, with a hint of urgency in his words. If they waited a little longer, the elves in the beast tide would probably reach the camp.

"At this time, Dad should be in the laboratory deciphering the inscription."

Su Qimeng thought about it and spoke quickly. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the two of them rushed to the laboratory without stopping.

"Om~"

At this moment, an urgent alarm suddenly sounded in the camp.

"Something seems to have happened in the laboratory..."

As they approached the laboratory, the two men noticed that many people were gathering there.

The two looked at each other and walked faster, especially Su Qimeng. She frowned deeply. You know, her father was still in the laboratory just now.

"Where's the doctor? Hurry up and save him..."

"Jiajie, Jiajie, wake up quickly..."

Lin Shi and Su Qimeng quickly came to the laboratory, only to see two people lying on the ground at the door of the laboratory. They were both lying in a pool of blood with pale faces.

One of them was a member of the guard team. Lin Shi and the others had some impression of him. At this moment, he was lying in the arms of another guard team member.

"Senior Brother Liu!"

The other person made Su Qimeng scream in surprise. The blood under his body was particularly large, forming a small pool of blood. The bright blood color and the white wall next to it formed a strong visual impact.

"Don't touch him."

Just when Su Qimeng was about to check on him, Lin Shi suddenly reached out to stop her, half-knelt in front of Senior Brother Liu with a gloomy face, and reached out his hand to his neck.

Cold, quiet, pulseless...

"he died……"

Lin Shi felt his throat was a little dry. The person who had been having dinner and chatting with him not long ago had now become a cold corpse.

"What……"

Su Qimeng's eyes widened in disbelief, and her body unconsciously took two steps back.

"Father!"

Then she reacted and quickly ran into the laboratory, and Lin Shi followed her in immediately.

The laboratory was in chaos at this moment, as if a fierce fight had taken place, but apart from that there was no one else in sight.

Su Qimeng stood there in shock as if struck by lightning. Professor Su Yu had disappeared...
