Pokémon: From Magikarp

"Beedrill, Ariados, use Missile Needle..."

The third level of the Soul Tower is a closed maze. When Tianxuan first entered the maze, he chose the same method as Lin Shi and directly attacked the maze wall.

Several flying needles shining with light shot towards the wall fiercely, but black mist emerged from all directions in an instant, blocking the missile needles and failing to cause any damage to the wall.

Seeing this scene, Tianxuan frowned under the mask. Repeated attacks had no effect, making him realize that if he wanted to get out of this maze, he could only follow the path.

"Hmph, boy, you better hide yourself from me. Don't let me catch you, or you'll be in big trouble..." Tianxuan said angrily.

"let's go."

Tianxuan shouted, and several elves immediately gathered in front of him. He stretched out his left hand, pressed it tightly against the wall, and entered the maze.

……

"You...what do you mean?"

Neftina's voice sounded a little unnatural.

"Alas, Your Majesty, in this situation, forget about your lies that can't fool even a three-year-old child."

Lin Shi held his forehead and sighed.

"As your subject, and perhaps your only subject, shouldn't you be open and honest with me?"

"Uh-huh……"

Queen Neftina nodded and said nothing.

"If I'm not mistaken, the scepter and mask should be necessary for you to regain your strength, so you are so eager to find them, right?"

Lin Shi said slowly in his heart.

"Okay, my subject, I admit that you are right."

Neftina answered simply. Anyway, she didn't think Lin Shi would believe what he said before.

"Subjects, let us make a deal."

"Oh?"

Lin Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and crossed his arms.

"Aren't we always trading? Otherwise, what have we been doing for so long? Playing house?"

"Of course not that, I'm talking about the real deal."

Neftina's voice was clear and serious.

"You are right. I do need the scepter and mask to restore my strength, and I can see that you are facing a lot of trouble now."

"I can tell you that if this so-called Polaris Organization is targeting my ability to manipulate the elves, then their target is definitely the scepter and mask sealed in the mausoleum."

"So let's make a deal. You get the scepter and mask back for me, and after I recover my strength, I can naturally help you get rid of these people."

Queen Neftina said slowly.

Lin Shi touched his nose. He didn't know how much truth there was in Queen Neftina's words, but at the moment, it seemed that she had no reason to deceive him. He also believed that as a king-level being, she did have the ability to help him solve these troubles.

But you have to know that a Pokémon like Lil'Groovy is said to be a spirit composed of 108 extremely evil souls. Who knows if it will attack him first after it recovers its strength.

You know, at that time, he had no bargaining chips at all, and life and death were just a matter of a thought...

Lin Shi did not speak, and Neftina also regained her dignity as a queen and remained silent. Her spiritual world instantly became quiet.

"Haha... Your Majesty, you are worthy of being the ruler of the Desert Empire. I think this deal is very fair."

After a while, Lin Shi decided to agree to it first. It was better to take one step at a time and see what happened than to stay where he was.

"My subject, I know you have concerns, but as the queen, I will keep my word and honor my promise."

After hearing Lin Shi's words, Neftina spoke again, with a hint of resentment in her voice.

"I believe Her Majesty..."

Lin Shi said leisurely.

……

"MD, why is this damn maze so complicated?"

At this time, Tianxuan had been tormented by the maze on the third floor for a long time, but the complicated route, coupled with the constant disruption of the ghost-type elves, made it difficult for him to find the exit.

At first, he also used the spider silk of Alidos for positioning. He pulled out a spider silk from the entrance and walked along it all the way, which could effectively avoid him from taking the same route repeatedly.

But after several attempts, he found that his spider silk had been replaced by those damn ghost elves, making his efforts in vain.

"Aridos, insect chirping."

A sharp explosion sounded from Alidos' mouthparts, and sound waves attacked several night patrol spirits not far away.

The low-level Night Watcher was immediately knocked dizzy, his body instantly weakened, and he drilled into the wall and fled in all directions.

Tianxuan frowned. The Night Patrol Spirit had the ability to pass through walls, and he had no way to stop it.

Looking at the strange and complicated maze in front of him, he felt powerless for the first time. From the moment he entered the black tower, things were completely beyond his control.

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. A long time had passed and he hadn't had a drop of water. If he couldn't find a way out, he would probably starve to death here.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely resentful and angry towards Lin Shi, and he wished he could pull out his bones and skin him alive.

"Go on, keep going."

There was no other way, he had to hurry and find an exit.

……

"Come on, don't be polite, eat something first."

Lin Shi took out his backpack, took out the prepared food and shared it with Su Qimeng, then knocked on the apple of the Mi Ji snake.

"Here, borrow some syrup. I want the green apple kind."

"hiss."

A snake-worm crawled out, with its eyes closed and a green light emanating from its body. The light gathered in the air and turned into drops of green syrup.

Lin Shi took the syrup and shook it in front of Su Qimeng.

"Would you like some?"

Su Qimeng shook her head.

No, she has no appetite.

Just like that, two days passed in a flash. During these two days, Lin Shi and Su Qimeng discussed tactics and ate and drank. When they were bored, they even borrowed a poker from Mi Ji Da She.

Lin Shi didn't feel anything, but it attracted Neftina's interest. She played cards with them all day long through Lin Shi's hands. It was only because Lin Shi's honey snake was special, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to get everyone together.

Now, not only can you play poker, you can even play Three Kingdoms...

"Bang, it's a win, Lin Shi, I finally won."

Neftina was extremely excited. This was her first winning hand since the start of the game. Of course, the main reason was that Lin Shi did not give her any guidance when she played cards.

"Haha, congratulations..."

As Lin Shi spoke, he observed Tianxuan in the black fog. He had been trapped in the black tower for almost 3 days, and the situation looked very bad.

Through the mask, one could clearly see that his eyes were bloodshot. In that cramped and torturous environment, coupled with lack of water and food, he was clearly on the verge of collapse.

"Ha ha……"

“I finally got out of this.”

"Ha ha……"

Looking at the stairs in front of him, Tianxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. After walking for two whole days, he finally walked out of the maze.

"Boy, I'm here, just wait for me..."

Tianxuan screamed hysterically, jumped up the stairs in two steps, and ran up quickly. It was obvious that he had gone crazy...

He walked up the stairs madly and plunged into the fourth floor. In an instant, countless darkness swept towards him, making him slightly sober and stunned where he stood.

Lin Shi raised the corners of his mouth and said in his heart.

Congratulations on finally leaving the third floor. There are still six floors to go and we will meet there. If you can hold on...

Well, welcome to the fourth floor...
