Chapter 254 JO-level expedition team and the incredible Pokémon tower
As Arthur also came to Aster Town through the Pokémon storage system, Eden gathered three members of the expedition team: himself, Arthur, and Zhanfan, who happened to be the same group when they first went to the Poke Tower. .
This time, after becoming stronger, they are about to challenge Gengar in the Elf Tower again!
Before entering the Elf Tower, Eden took stock of the configuration of the expedition team.
Members: Zoroa, Charizard, Wind Speed Dog
Backpack: a pair of mobile phones, a pile of banknotes, a fire orb containing Phoenix Flame, 3 Holy Ashes, some energy cubes, some snacks, some Poké Balls, some medicines
The equipment is quite complete and should be enough to conquer this Pokémon Tower.
It is true that the max-level characters have come back to refresh the newbie dungeon.
"Confirmation completed, let's go in and test our courage!"
"Ouch!"
"Woof!"
There are 7 floors in the Elf Tower, and each floor is filled with tombstones of the dead elves.
After the Rockets occupied the Elf Tower, the residents of Ziyuan Town, who realized that it was in disrepair, carried out repairs and decorations, making the resting place of the deceased more peaceful and peaceful.
Since this was not their first time exploring, their current strength was no longer what it was before. Both Arthur and Zhanfan seemed to be doing it with ease and being familiar with the road.
In the quiet corridor, the golden red tail flame of the fire-breathing dragon crackled, adding a sense of life to the resting place.
Looking at the elven tombstones everywhere on the roadside, Arthur couldn't help but wonder: Will we also die in the future?
"Tangible things will eventually disappear, and so will intangible things." Eden gave a decisive answer, "Except for the legendary gods, even the longest-lived elves will still die."
The lifespan of a fire-breathing dragon in the wild is about forty or fifty years. After that, it will be seriously injured and die due to the injuries accumulated over the years while fighting for territory. Even if it is better, it will struggle to be around sixty years old at most.
The life span of artificially bred fire-breathing dragons is generally around 123 years old, and the oldest one is said to have lived to 190 years old.
"Woof?" What about woof?
"I don't know about Wind Dogs. Wild Wind Dogs are rarely seen by humans, and most of the Wind Dogs in human society are in the hands of Junsha. They always insist that Wind Dogs are also legendary Pokémon." Eden He thought to himself, "Since it is called a legend, how can it have a lifespan of more than two hundred?"
The lifespan of the wind speed dogs raised by ordinary people is indeed around a hundred years old, and they are relatively long-lived elves. However, this kind of elves often age and die quickly after the death of their owners due to excessive pain.
It is rare to hear of a wind speed dog actually dying.
Moreover, before the birth of synthetic evolutionary stone technology, rare fire stones and other evolutionary props were often sold for sky-high prices. There were still many unknowns about elves like Wind Speed Dogs to humans.
"Ouch?"
Hearing this, Zhanfan's huge head was thoughtful.
What about humans? How long can humans live?
Eden had really cared about this question before, and after recalling it for a moment, he answered directly: "According to the latest national statistics, which was ten years ago, the average life span of human beings is around 60 years old, and those with long lives can live to 80 years old. . The highest record so far is an old man in the Sinnoh region. It is said that she lived to be 151 years old, but it is not known whether it is true or not. "
Only 60 years old?
After hearing Eden's answer, both Arthur and Shanfan showed a little regret and confusion in their eyes.
"But this is also data from ten years ago. With the development of science and technology, human lifespan is actually increasing." Eden muttered, "I heard that there is a general attribute gym owner named Popla in Galar. She He has been a gym leader for 60 consecutive years and is very tough.”
If it were Qiao Qiao, with his overflowing vitality, he would probably be able to live beyond the average human lifespan or even the upper limit.
After a hundred years, it’s really not certain who will send whom away.
That being said, even if he dies early, he can still turn into the ordinary/ghost form of Xi Cui and continue to haunt Qiao Qiao.
For some elves, as long as their obsession is deep, the disappearance of their bodies will not be the end of their life journey...the same is true for humans.
When they thought of Zhou You's vitality, Arthur and Zhanfan returned to their normal state of mind. Indeed, it was hard for someone with a lifespan of only one or two hundred years to outlive Qiao Qiao.
Passing through the first floor where foreign tourists are received, the second and third floors where the tombstones of ordinary human elves are placed, and the fourth floor where ghost elves gradually gather, the expedition team did not encounter many obstacles before reaching the fifth floor where the barrier exists. .
With their current strength, Ordinary Ghost and Ghost Stone would not be able to get any favors even if they form a group. This journey has been quite smooth.
But starting from the fifth floor, the wild elves in the Elf Tower gradually became dangerous.
Further up are the tombstones of some powerful elves in the past. Some of them turned into Gengar after death and continued to remain in the world. They guarded the elf tower in their own way and waited for the person in their memory to come back to worship him again. .
However, humans who can cultivate elves who are so powerful that they can be reincarnated as Gengar and retain some of their memories and obsessions during life are often old, and most of them will never have the chance to come to the Elf Tower again. .
Newly born Gengars still retain some of their habits and memories from their lifetimes. Being quite close to humans, they usually play pranks to attract attention and care.
But as time goes by, the destined to be fruitless waiting and the disappointment of not getting what they want will gradually distort their character under the influence of ghost attribute energy, and become full of hostility to all living things.
When Gengar begins to curse humans, it is time to defeat, seal, and purify them, otherwise the consequences may be disastrous...
This kind of extremely threatening ghost-type elves will be sealed in the barrier on the fifth floor of the Elf Tower - the original leftover was regarded as a murderer in the barrier after Zhouyou, Qinglu and Team Rocket were fighting. The single scabbard of the sword was held back as a teething stick.
In fact, there is such a barrier on the fifth floor of the Elf Tower in the game. Players can rest here and restore the status of all the elves in the game. They can even pick up a cleansing talisman here.
But this time, Zhou You specifically warned Arthur in advance to ensure that the elves should not touch anything in the barrier, so as not to accidentally cause a catastrophe.
"Oh, is there anyone coming to worship at midnight?"
Fortunately, after the Team Rocket incident, the people of Ziyuan Town also strengthened the protection of the Elf Tower. The previously empty fifth floor at night also had a prayer master guarding the barrier.
The prayer master guarding the barrier tonight is a yellow-haired girl named Shizuru.
When she was sleepy and saw the little boy with the fire-breathing dragon and the wind speed dog, she subconsciously thought that the boy was coming to pay homage. But after thinking carefully about the time period, she quickly realized: "Little brother, you are here to pay homage to the elves." A new trainer in Tower Adventure."
