Chapter 525 The Call of the Forest
The sudden smoke screen obscured his vision, and Xiao Yin took back the elf and ran away without hesitation.
Although Xiaoxia and Xiaogang each made the starfish and hazelnut balls rotate at high speed to clear the dense fog, when their vision was restored again, they found that the red-haired boy just now had disappeared.
Upon seeing this, the three men hurriedly gave chase and engaged in a pincer attack with the townspeople who were ambushing outside.
However, no one saw the red-haired boy running away - the illusion created by the heterochromatic dream monster deceived the vision of everyone present.
However, from the water-logged footprints on the ground, it can be determined that the direction where the other party escaped is the loophole in the encirclement net, that is, the oak forest west of Huipi Town.
Zhi Gangxia, the three of them and the townspeople were about to give chase, but were stopped by Mr. Steel who came in a hurry.
"Why, Mr. Steel, if you don't do it while the traces are still clear, it will be too late!"
Xiaozhi's tone was quite anxious. He could still use Xiaogang's Big Mouth Bat to locate his opponent through ultrasonic detection, but if it continued any longer, it would be difficult to track him smoothly.
"There is no reason!" Mr. Steel's reaction was extremely fierce, "No one can go near the oak forest tonight!"
Seeing the tough attitude of the other party, the people in the town remembered the legend that had been circulating in Huipi Town for many years.
When the forest is calling, people and spirits who approach without authorization may be lost forever in it.
Until now, there are still many people who have been missing for more than ten, twenty or even forty years and have not returned from the oak forest.
The current oak forest is extremely dangerous and is no longer suitable for chasing the criminal who cut off Slowpoke's tail.
Xiaozhi, who learned the legend, shook his head: "No! This makes it even more impossible to leave that person alone!"
After that, he ignored the obstruction of the townspeople and Mr. Steel, called Pikachu and rushed into the forest following the footprints.
"Xiao Zhi, don't act rashly!" "You two wait for me!"
Seeing Xiaozhi rushing into the forest regardless of dissuasion, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang also hurriedly chased after him.
The people of Huipi Town, who were in awe of the forest, were hesitant. Although they wanted to bring the three foreign teenagers back, they did not dare to violate the tradition easily.
In desperation, they had no choice but to go to the police station together and explain the situation to Junsha on duty...
…
As for Ah Jin and Xiao Huang, who assisted the other party in escaping, they had already predicted Xiao Yin's escape route and laid out traps in the oak forest.
"Ajin, is this really okay?"
For some reason, Xiao Huang, who was hiding among the oak trees, felt a little uneasy.
According to Ajin, the angry townspeople would probably not even call the police, but would directly attack the criminals upon encountering them.
At this time, once the opponent sends out the chrysanthemum leaves stolen from the research institute, it is very likely that they will be attacked and seriously injured.
After all, most of the people in Jupi Town are insect trainers, and Chrysanthemum Grass Leaf is naturally extremely disadvantageous. Losing the ability will be considered a trivial matter. If it is serious, it may be beaten to the point of death.
Don't think he is being alarmist. For traditional people in Johto, offending their beliefs is an extremely serious matter.
In addition, Huipi Town is basically a rural area... Anyway, you must give the thief a good beating before calling the police, so it's easy for something to happen.
"Don't worry, the traps I've laid out are sure to be foolproof!" Ah Jin said confidently.
He knew that guy so well. In a sense, they were barely the same person, so he could easily guess the other's action pattern.
No, while the two were chatting, they heard the sound of sprinting and trap triggering not far away.
"oops!"
After treating the burns of the baby Sawtooth, Chris immediately returned to the forest to investigate Suicune's traces. She never imagined that there would be a trap in the middle of the forest trail!
Sensing something was wrong in the sound, Ah Jin and Xiao Huang stepped forward to check, and found that the cave they dug had unexpectedly dug another acquaintance into it.
"Study committee member?" Ah Jin was speechless. How could a normal person run to the oak forest at night?
He had no choice but to pass the billiard cue to the other party.
"Ajin, what are you doing!"
Ignoring Ah Jin's help, Chris used the sides of the cave as pedals to return to the ground with amazing jumping ability. Only then did she see Xiao Huang next to her.
"Yes, sorry!"
The latter apologized hurriedly and explained the situation to the other party.
Kris didn't have any objections to Xiao Huang, and just gave a few instructions: "Next time, don't dig holes in a dark place like the oak forest. It's easy to hurt passers-by, and don't believe whatever A Jin says. ”
After all, this person is really unreliable.
"Okay, okay, you can come behind the tree first and then talk."
After taking Chris between the oak trees and casually concealing his trap, Akin became catty again.
He was very sure that the other party would definitely take this path.
Although Chris was speechless, she had to ambush together to catch the thief who stole the chrysanthemum leaves, and supervise the other party to fill in the hole he dug after the incident.
Digging a hole but not filling it is a taboo...
As they waited, the other two people became curious about why the other party came to the oak forest so late.
It turns out that Chris met Suicune by chance in the forest ancestral hall. She stepped forward to challenge him, but was easily defeated by a move of scalding hot water.
After Dali Beng's burns were cured, she returned to the oak forest unwillingly, intending to investigate the traces left by him.
She also plans to spare no effort in pursuing Suicune like the famous Suicune lover Shui Kyo in her spare time.
※Shuijing, formerly translated as Minajun and Nanqi.
Ajin lamented the other party's good luck, but after listening to Chris's description of what Suicune really looked like in reality...
"Isn't this just Lan Tiaodiao!"
Chrissy: You should at least say Blue Jump King!
Probably because of their tacit understanding, the Gold and Crystal trio only waited for a short time when they heard the sound of running not far away.
Of course it was Xiao Yin who was being chased by Xiao Zhi and his group.
Just when Ah Jin was vaguely expecting Hong Mao to fall into the trap he dug...
But the moment Xiao Yin stepped on the trap, he skillfully used his strength to bounce back to the ground easily.
On the contrary, Xiaozhi and his party who were following behind fell into the pit without warning.
They have always been good at stepping into pitfalls.
"Brother Xiaozhi?" Xiao Huang accidentally said, why did Ah Jin's trap trap another teammate again.
At this moment, a refreshing breeze blew through the forest, and all the trees seemed to be rejoicing and celebrating.
Sensing something unusual, Xiao Huang subconsciously looked towards the center of the forest...
…
Seeing Xiao Yin effortlessly crossing one trap after another, Ah Jin had no choice but to stand up.
"stop!"
As he spoke, the cat's walking form in the grass prompted Cai Ling to take action.
On the tree-lined path where the sun is hidden, several translucent light walls stand quietly.
It was almost difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but Xiao Yin, who was about to sprint across the trap area, suddenly slowed down.
An ambush of this level would be too underestimated for the Prince of Team Rocket, who has been exposed to wild fighting since he was a child!
So he responded immediately by throwing the elf ball: "Hora, roar loudly!"
Just when Xiaoyin, who shattered the wall of light with a loud roar, was about to send out elves to break out again, the forest that had been experiencing strange phenomena before finally burst out with its true power!
Starting from the ancestral hall in the oak forest, the entire central area is covered with green light and strong wind!
