Chapter 318 Laplace and the Great Dragon
"The first condition for entering the dragon's lair is to pass through the powerful tidal wave inside the entrance or break through the strong air flow obstruction. Basically, the only test is the trainer's strength."
Looking at the people over there who were already setting off one after another, Zhulan analyzed thoughtfully.
Dorasena also added her opinion in a leisurely tone: "I have heard about the Dragon Cave of the Yulong Clan. Most of the area there is caves and lakes, and there are people like the Thorn Dragon King Clan, the Mini Dragon and Huck. Dragons, and some Pokémon that are inextricably linked to dragons.”
"But there are rumors that there is a passage somewhere in the Dragon's Lair, which leads to the real core area of the Dragon's Lair, where it is like spring all year round, and normal Pokémon and many dragon-type Pokémon live in harmony. It's like It’s like a utopia”
"Utopia!"
Alice, who was next to Zhulan, had a look of admiration on her face, and she couldn't wait to enter the dragon's lair and meet her new partner.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
The information that was legendary to Dorasena allowed Luo Mu to confirm one thing.
In the animation, there is a place called "Dragon Sanctuary" behind the passage deep in the dragon's lair. In Luo Mu's view, there is a high probability that it is related to the so-called hidden trial.
After a while.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people, a few people are also planning to set off to the wide lake behind to find the entrance to the dragon's lair.
Dorasena rode her sonic dragon, and Zhulan used the Bite Land Shark to carry Alice into the dragon's lair. After all, Alice's dragon-headed gophers and fangs obviously couldn't take her to move on the lake.
Several people planned to split up, and Luo Mu did not rush to do anything superfluous. After all, whether it was Zhulan or Dora Sena, they were already at the top of the trainers in terms of strength.
Before leaving, Luo Mu took the time to look at Zhulan's biting land shark. Although he did not release his momentum, every move showed his powerful background. The smooth take-off movement showed the impact of biting land shark on him. How powerful body control is.
This biting land shark is really strong.
Luo Mu and Kuailong unanimously gave high praise.
In fact, the entrance to the Dragon Cave is not difficult to find.
Riding the fast flying dragon at a constant speed, Luo Mu's eyes passed over the trainers who were looking for an entrance in the middle of the lake, and he sighed slightly.
The entrance is usually not at the bottom of the lake, where only aquatic Pokémon can reach it. There is no airflow that can block flying Pokémon, but the entrance is not in the center of the lake, where there is nothing and nothing.
The only places that can accommodate dragon lairs like caves are those close to the land and where there is a lot of soil and rocks.
At Luo Mu's request, Kuailong flew around the edge of the lake at a constant speed, and soon found the entrance to the dragon's cave.
Looking at the strangely shaped entrance with extremely deep interior, Luo Mu sighed: "It's like a big open mouth, even the sharp teeth up and down are so lifelike."
Without Luo Mu's words, Kuailong directly approached the mouth of the rock that seemed to be able to choose people to devour. Sure enough, he saw a large whirlpool beginning to appear in the lake below at the entrance.
The power of the whirlpool is very powerful. Many trainers were the first to set out in the darkness. Those trainers who were lucky enough to find the entrance were fighting against the attraction of the whirlpool with their Pokémon.
In Luo Mu's view, logically speaking, the geographical environment here should not be enough to form a tidal vortex. Considering the power of Xiaozhuang's ace, the Thorny Dragon King, which can cause huge tidal vortexes in the lake and sea, Luo Mu roughly guessed the answer.
"Boooo."
Kuailong also frowned and stared at the tidal wave below, as if there was something in the depths that made Kuailong unhappy.
Kuailong's reaction confirmed Luo Mu's guess. After all, there was a distance between the sky and the bottom of the water. There should be no fight between the Thorny Dragon King clan and Kuailong. It was better to break through the turbulent airflow in front of them in one go.
Those air currents should be created by certain flying Pokémon arranged by the Dragon Clan. After all, there are many flying Pokémon that are inextricably linked to dragon-type Pokémon.
"However, at this level, it's not even strong enough to stop Kuailong."
When the voice fell, Luo Mu tapped Kuailong. Kuailong just flapped its wings slightly, and its body flew forward far as if pushed by a powerful force.
Then repeat this step to speed up the flapping speed of the dragon wings and increase the flying speed.
The next moment.
Many trainers who were struggling to move forward with their flying Pokémon in the turbulent airflow against the strong wind suddenly heard a voice.
That's the scream of the wind!
Swish——
The majestic air flow came from far to near, and before everyone and the Pokémon could react, they had already descended into the huge, dark and humid cave.
The terrifying airflow encircled by the orange figure actually directly dispersed the airflow in the cave. The staggering people only saw an orange figure breaking through the airflow that they had not even advanced halfway through after all their efforts, and fell into complete silence.
In the darkness of the cave, the flying Pokémon that were quietly creating air currents were startled, and they immediately looked at each other.
What happened just now?
As soon as they were stunned, the intensity of the air flow that continued to echo at the entrance of the dragon's lair was greatly reduced. When the Pokémon reacted, the trainer who had already been attacked took this opportunity to rush out of the area covered by the air flow.
The flying Pokémon suddenly felt bad. If too many people were let in at once, they would definitely be deprived of their dinner!
That’s the only thing I don’t want!
The flying Pokémon flapped their wings even harder, and the air currents, which were much stronger than before, swept through the area again, causing many trainers to complain bitterly. Some even chose to withdraw from here and take the water route instead.
At this time, Shijiana, riding on the Tyrannosaurus, also found the entrance to the dragon cave. Looking at the violent air currents in front of her, she just said lightly: "Tyrannosaurus, go in directly."
Under the surprised looks of the trainers, although there was no shock brought by the orange-yellow figure that flashed before, the figures of Shijiana and Tyrannosaurus strolling forward in the air currents were also very impressive.
If you don't have a strong physique and absolute control over the strong wind, you will never be able to achieve this level.
Shijiana has long been accustomed to the surrounding gazes, but she just doesn't understand why those people look at her with admiration.
As a successor, isn't it natural to do this?
Thinking of this, Xijiana lowered her eyes, her eyelashes like a cattail leaf trembling slightly: "Not enough. In order to be recognized by the Dragon God, I need more powerful strength."
"Since there is no Pokémon that can learn super speed, then subdue the mini dragon lineage in the dragon cave."
"Then become stronger through the hidden trial, and then find Rayquaza to complete her"
The environment in the dragon cave is dark, extremely humid, and the internal passages are intricate. If you are not prepared, you may get lost directly inside.
But Luo Mu knows clearly how to find the entrance to the Dragon Sanctuary.
In the animation, after Team Rocket stole the Dragon Fang from the Yanmo Gym, they took the speedboat by the lake and entered the Dragon Cave in one breath.
After advancing for a while in the Dragon Cave, Team Rocket accidentally fell into a huge waterfall, and the place connected to that waterfall was the location of the Dragon Sanctuary.
So, the key point to find the Dragon Sanctuary is the waterfall!
While maintaining a constant speed, Dragonite focused most of its attention on its ears, amplified its hearing, and looked for the violent sound of the waterfall washing the rocks.
This is not a simple matter. The dragon cave is much wider than Luo Mu thought. He has been in the dragon cave for an hour, but he feels that he and Dragonite have not even walked half of the dragon cave.
However, Luo Mu saw a lot of wild Pokémon living in the dragon cave.
Like the mini dragon in its original form, the big eyes that are the same as Dragonite are so cute, and the black seahorse carried by the sea dragon, the little guy is also very cute. It seems that because it has not evolved into the king of dragons, Dragonite has no feeling for the pure water-attributed black seahorse and sea dragon, at most, he just doesn't like their appearance that is somewhat similar to the king of dragons.
But what surprised Luo Mu the most was that near a deep water area in the dragon cave, he witnessed a small group of multiple Lapras (dragons).
Pokémon like Lapras usually live in the ocean and move around in groups. Seeing Lapras in the dragon cave near the inland lake in Yanmo City made Luo Mu wonder if there was a passage leading to the outside sea hidden in the deep water area where Lapras lived.
Unable to bear it, Luo Mu stopped temporarily and let Dragonite descend to interact with this group of rare sea elves.
This Lapras group currently seems to be composed of six adult male Lapras and two female Lapras. Among them, there is a small Lapras that is well protected by the two female Lapras and looks at Luo Mu and Dragonite curiously.
"Good boy, do you want to eat something?"
Luo Mu did not hide his desire to lure the little Lapras over with food and let it touch him.
Lapras is a smart and kind Pokémon. At least the Lapras group that Luo Mu encountered did not show too much vigilance against humans, perhaps because they are almost isolated from the world and do not communicate with humans.
When Luo Mu and Dragonite approached, they did not show any stress response or make any extreme actions, but subconsciously protected the little Lapras.
Attracted by the tree fruit that Luo Mu brought out, the surrounded little Lapras looked at his parents with eager eyes.
The two female Lapras were also a little helpless. They usually did not go to the land on purpose. At most, they would rest on the edge of some small islands, which made them have almost no chance to eat the tree fruit.
Not to mention that the tree fruit that Luo Mu brought out now was ripened by fruit worms, and the taste and effect were X2. In front of this fresh fruit fragrance, it would be strange if the little Lapras could hold back.
Finally, the two female Lapras could not bear the request of the only offspring in the tribe, so they let the little Lapras approach Luo Mu and Dragonite, and happily ate the tree fruit in Luo Mu's palm.
Taking this opportunity, Luo Mu was finally able to touch Lapras.
I don't know if it's because the little Lapras is still young or if this is the way it is, but its exposed skin feels inexplicably moist, which makes Luo Mu feel slippery.
The gray shell on the back of the little Lapras feels like the shell of a lobster that has just molted, which feels soft, but it is clear that it is a hard shell.
It is obviously not fully developed yet, let alone being able to carry people like an adult Lapras.
Satisfied, Luo Mu was in a good mood and distributed a lot of tree fruits to each Lapras. Taking the opportunity, with Lapras' vigilance almost reduced to zero, Luo Mu tried several other Lapras one by one. Generally speaking, the female Lapras feels silkier to the touch, and even the hard shell on its back is well taken care of.
On the contrary, the male Lapras may occasionally have some scars on his body due to fights with other wild Pokémon. The hard shell on his back is harder and there are many scratches.
However, none of the eight adult Lapras gave Luo Mu the same feeling as the little Lapras, which reminded him of the three characteristics of Laplace -
"Water Storage", "Hard Shell Armor" and "Moist Body".
The different touch of Little Lapras from other Lapras may be the effect of the hidden characteristic "moist body".
Just like Luo Mu's own Kuailong, due to its characteristic "multiple scales", the dragon scales on its body are denser and stronger than those of its peers, and can also reduce more resistance during flight.
In this real world, different characteristics are not only reflected in the effects of a string of black fonts on game values, but also in Pokémon.
The "intimidating" flaming roaring tiger has a more fierce aura than its kind, the snake bear has a strong sense of dropped items, and is obsessed with picking them up, and so on.
Luo Mu, who relied on the food temptation method to get along with the Lapras, also tried the riding comfort of Lapras. Although it seemed that there were many protrusions on the hard shell on Lapras' back, it would change if you were not careful. Thousands of years of killing scene.
In fact, Laplace's back is scary wide, and those protrusions are for people to hold on to. Although it is a hard shell, it actually doesn't hurt your butt when you sit on it. Although the riding experience is not as good as Kuailong, But adding a riding seat should make it more comfortable.
Before bidding farewell to the Lapras tribe who had completely thrown their caution to the wind, Luo Mu also reminded this group of intelligent and gentle water elves that it is best to remain vigilant when meeting humans later. After all, not everyone is like this. I put a lot of fruit on the tree just to touch Laplace.
Most of them are greedy for Laplace's body, or they are poachers who want to kill their entire group.
After all, Pokémon like Lapras are very rare in the sea near Kanto City, and they are not at all like overrun in the Alola area, which is too well protected.
Seeing that the clever leader Laplace understood what he meant, Luo Mu smiled and said goodbye to them, then rode the fast dragon and continued to move firmly in a certain direction deep in the dragon's cave.
In fact, during the time he interacted with Lapras, he did not waste time. Even though they were often far apart from each other, Pokémon like Lapras communicated through singing at sea. Get back together.
Because of this, the hearing of Laplaces is very outstanding. The two spiral structures on their heads that look like meatballs are used to amplify their hearing.
In addition to being able to hear sound waves that humans cannot hear, the Laplaces didn't have to put much effort into hearing the violent rushing water of the waterfall.
At this time, Luo Mu and Kuailong were heading in the direction of the "sound of the waterfall" guided by the Laplaces.
This is a straight passage, with almost no forks where you need to choose one of two, three, or even more. About half an hour later, Luo Mu heard the sound of the waterfall violently scouring the rocks.
"Boooo!"
The chance to become stronger was getting closer and closer. Even Kuailong couldn't hide his excitement and flew over the rushing waterfall in one breath.
In an instant, Luo Mu and Kuailong's eyes were suddenly filled with clear sunlight, and in the vibrant vegetation and flower fields below, Pokémon that were not dragon-type Pokémon, such as Shuttlecock Cotton and Bad Butterfly, were flying leisurely.
A little further away, you can see young Pokémon such as Green Bird, Turtle Shark, and Sticky Pokémon playing around.
I am afraid that these Pokémon were collected by the Yulong clan from other areas through their own energy and raised by themselves.
Luo Mu's eyes quickly locked on the most powerful and largest figure in the Dragon Sanctuary——
That is also a fast dragon.
That dragon is several times bigger than our own dragon. Although it is not as huge as the giant dragon at Zhenghui Lighthouse, it can still be regarded as a giant among dragons.
Just call it Da Kuailong.
But when Luo Mu's eyes moved to a Pokémon with blood-colored wings parked next to the dragon, and the slightly familiar figure on the Pokémon, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Shijana actually arrived first?
The moment Luo Mu and Kuailong rushed out of the waterfall, Shijana, Tyrannosaurus and even the big dragon also noticed their arrival. The big dragon, which had a good temper and could be as honest as Luo Mu's own dragon, was crooked. He tilted his head, as if he was a little confused since there were still guests visiting today.
But Shijana, who was asking about the content of the Great Dragon Trial, clenched her hands hidden under the gray cloak slightly, and the person who came turned out to be him!
Luo Mu, the champion trainer in the Padia region, subdued the powerful trainer of the God of Fire. Even Shijana, as the inheritor, had to admit the other's great achievements.
But this does not mean that she will give up the opportunity to become stronger and continue to become stronger before the prophecy comes!
After Luo Mu and Kuailong landed on the flower field where the big dragon was, Xijana, who had sorted out her emotions, had a non-hostile smile on her face. She looked at Luo Mu, who had rolled over from Kuailong, and said: "I have admired my name for a long time, Champion Luo Mu."
"Just call me Luo Mu. There is no need to add the word champion. I have retired now." Luo Mu blinked, always feeling that he saw some kind of hidden power in the smile on Xijana's face. Deep hostility. No, it would be more appropriate to describe it as fighting spirit, "You are the inheritor of the Meteor People, Shijana, right?"
Luo Mu thought of this girl's identity as an inheritor, and it seemed reasonable that she would reveal her fighting spirit.
"Then please allow me to call you Mr. Luo Mu. Is Mr. Luo Mu also here to hide the trial?" Xijana nodded lightly. When her eyes stayed on Kuailong behind Luo Mu, Xijia Na closed her eyes slightly, opened her eyes and said, "No, it seems I said something irrelevant."
