When these words were spoken, the expressions on everyone's faces were even more surprised than when Shui Jing solved the puzzle before.

"I don't know if you have noticed that the space inside this stone chamber is much smaller than it looks from the outside. In other words, there must be a mezzanine inside this stone chamber."

When everyone heard this, they all seemed to be thinking about something.

"But how do we get into the mezzanine?" A Bi asked, "There's no switch or anything in the room."

Yang Ming smiled slightly and said, "The switch is hidden in the ancient characters on the stone wall, because only the wall here is thicker than other places."

After saying that, he reached out and touched the ancient characters on the stone wall one by one, trying to find the hidden secret passage mechanism.

Seeing this, others also followed suit and searched for the words on the stone wall.

Suddenly, Yang Ming touched a text with a different texture. He pressed it hard and heard a mechanism making a sound. The thick stone wall slowly opened, revealing a narrow secret passage.

"I didn't expect Mr. Yang to have such ability. Are you interested in going to various places with me to explore ruins in the future?" Shui Jing praised.

"No, I'm just lucky." Yang Ming said modestly.

Of course, the reason why the secret passage could be found was because Yang Ming, as a member of the Rockets, was already very familiar with various secret passages and mechanisms.

Since the Rockets' major branches and bases are always hidden underground, they have to press hidden secret switches every time they go underground. Over time, Yang Ming has become more sensitive to things like mechanisms and secret passages.

"Okay, now that both secret passages have been found, which path should we take next?" A Bi asked.

"I once heard from my father's old friend that after completing the puzzle, they came to a huge room with roads as complicated as a maze," said Asu.

"Then those kidnapped children should be locked up here," Yang Ming pointed at the secret passage that Shui Jing found and shared, "Because the secret passage I found is very narrow, it should lead to the compartment behind the stone chamber, which obviously cannot hide people."

"So what is this compartment used for?" Shui Jing asked.

"I guess it's a treasure house or something like that?" the bard Victor said half-jokingly.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Victor's joking guess changed the expressions of some people in the team.

After all, these people gathered here just for the sake of the face of Kikyo Gym Master Asuka and Asuka's father. They may not care much about those missing children.

But the treasures in the ruins are different. Money can attract people. If the treasures in the ruins are rare items that can strengthen Pokémon, then they will be even more attractive to the trainers in front of them.

"Then we..."

Before Junsha could finish her words, the strong wind from "Wind and Rain Double Meteors" interrupted her speech.

"I'm sorry, but we still can't decide to go on."

Miss Junsha widened her eyes in disbelief.

"As you know, my husband and I came to this dangerous ruins because of Mr. Asu's invitation," Zui Yu said, "We also put in a lot of effort along the way. We won't explore the ruins."

The morale of the team began to disperse before the missing child was found, and Junsha looked a little depressed.

"In that case, Mr. Yang Ming and Mr. Victor don't have to go down with us," Junsha said after calming down. "Thank you for your help. Exploring deep in the ruins is too dangerous. You should stay in this stone chamber and wait for our news."

Yang Ming certainly had no objection. His main purpose of coming to the ruins was to become stronger, and by the way, he wanted to investigate the mystery of the disappearance of the previous stationmaster and hunt for treasure. Finding missing children was not his job.

Victor opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally stopped.

"Hey, that bitch finally left." As Junsha and the other three entered the depths of the ruins, Kuangfeng's attitude gradually became domineering.

"I think we should take advantage of this time to look for the treasure in the compartment, don't you think, gentlemen?" Zhuoyu cast a wink at Yang Ming and Victor.

"Hey, you..." The strong wind was about to get angry, but was immediately stopped by the heavy rain.

"These two guys are quite useful," Zhou Yu whispered in Kuang Feng's ear, "especially the one who joined us halfway. He obviously knows a little bit about the mechanism. Let them explore the way later."

Kuangfeng calmed down his anger after hearing this.

"Okay, let's go." Yang Ming answered straightforwardly.

After saying that, he pulled Victor and walked straight into the narrow secret passage.

The so-called "compartment" is actually a very small room, similar to the size of a utility room in an ordinary house. There is nothing in the entire compartment, except for a narrow hole on the inner wall.

Yang Ming went forward to try it, and found that human fingers could not fit in at all.

"A new switch has appeared, but it seems that the Pokémon's front legs need to be stretched in order to trigger the switch."

"Isn't this easy?" Kuangfeng laughed triumphantly, "Why don't the four of us take turns releasing our Pokémon and give it a try?"

"Go ahead, Boss Cat."

The cat boss stretched out his front legs to try, but found that he couldn't get in either.

Kuangfeng was not giving up and sent out several Pokémon, but to no avail.

"The inside of this hole is narrow and long, and only a Pokémon like Scyther with forelimbs as sharp as swords can open the switch." Yang Ming analyzed.

"What should we do? We don't have Scyther." Kuangfeng said in annoyance. The feeling of having Baoshan right in front of him but not being able to use it made him extremely uncomfortable.

"It's a pity that A Bi is not here, otherwise he would definitely have Scyther." Zui Yu also regretted not keeping A Bi.

Just then, the bard Victor, who had been uninterested in treasure hunting, spoke.

"Maybe I have a way."

"Come out, Speaker Cricket."

A red cricket Pokémon with two slender forelimbs appeared before my eyes.

Under Victor's guidance, the speaker cricket thrust its long, slender forelimbs like long knives deep into the groove.

With a "click" sound, a hole automatically opened in the stone wall in front, and a secret passage led directly underground.

Seeing that the treasure mountain was right in front of them, the "Wind and Rain Double Meteors" rushed in first.

In order to prevent the treasure inside from being stolen, Yang Ming followed closely behind, but while he was chasing, he was thinking about another thing in his mind.

"Akasaka, a weak bug-type Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. Using such a Pokémon is in line with the identity of a bard from Sinnoh."

"But if I remember correctly, Speaker Cricket is also a Pokémon that is very good at music."

"Is this a coincidence, or..."
