Chapter 331: Gold Coins, Suo Cai Ling and Tai Jinghua Sand Devouring Lord
Since Lei He said that some props should be prepared, let him explore the surrounding area first.
Luo Mu came to the tilted watchtower with a flashlight and observed this building that was said to have been built in the ancient Parthenon Empire.
The tower body is made of rough stones. Under the illumination of the flashlight, it can be clearly seen that the stone surface has become smooth and hard after being polished by wind and sand. It is unknown what kind of stone it is. It can be exposed to the wind and sun in this hot desert for such a long time and only tilted slightly and most of the tower body sank into the sand.
The tower body almost merged with the dark night. If it were not for the previous car lights and the current flashlight, Luo Mu might not have noticed that there was a watchtower buried here when he passed by, and under the watchtower was the tomb of the former Parthenon Empire officials.
Just as Luo Mu was observing the tilted watchtower with a flashlight, the thick gravel piled under his feet slowly flowed at a speed that would not be discovered under the control of some mysterious force.
At the top of the tilted watchtower, a little man who was hiding in the dark and only about ten centimeters tall carefully poked his head out and looked at the sand below with some fear.
It wanted to remind the humans below, but was afraid of the big guy hiding in the sand, and fell into a state of entanglement.
After walking around the tilted watchtower for about ten minutes, Luo Mu, who was almost tired of looking at the tower, planned to summon Dragonite to fly to the top of the tower to have a look.
After all, the Padya Alliance did not maintain the tilted watchtower in the hot desert. It would not be surprising if this building collapsed at any time. Luo Mu did not dare to climb outside the tower rashly. If he was buried alive by accident, it would not be fatal, but it would be very embarrassing.
Just as he lowered his head and was about to take out the Poké Ball, looking at the bottom of his feet, Luo Mu frowned slightly
If it was not his illusion, these sands seemed to be moving slowly?
Before Luo Mu could think clearly, the next moment, Lei He, who was not far away, suddenly screamed.
"Ah!"
Luo Mu looked over there quickly, and saw Lei He, who was carrying a large box with unknown contents, looking at her feet gradually sinking into the yellow sand, and she subconsciously let out a surprised scream.
Then, forcing herself to calm down, Lei He quickly realized that some Pokémon was playing tricks, and planned to take out the Poké Ball and let the Poké Pig, which had recovered most of its mental strength after a day's rest, help her get rid of the yellow sand that bound her feet.
At this time, an orange-yellow shadow passed through the dark night sky, and Lei He and the large box in her arms were pulled out of the yellow sand by Dragonite and stopped directly in mid-air.
"Thank you"
Dragonite brought Lei He to Luo Mu's side. Lei He, who was standing on the ground again, felt the sand on her shoes. While standing uncomfortably, she did not forget to thank Luo Mu and Dragonite.
Although Lei He was fully capable of saving herself, Luo Mu and Dragonite did save her, which was a fact.
Luo Mu nodded slightly, accepting Lei He's thanks, and then asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, but..." Lei He looked at the yellow sand in the distance, which seemed to have flowed faster because of her escape, swallowed half of the tires of the off-road vehicle, and was about to touch the base, and frowned slightly.
"There is something under the yellow sand, it should be a Pokémon."
Luo Mu nodded slightly: "I know, and it is a ghost Pokémon that is particularly good at hiding its breath, so you and I didn't notice it before."
The Dragonite, which was flapping its wings and stopped in the air beside the two of them, also vaguely sensed some vague breath under the yellow sand, and was moving its sight to find the location of the guy's body.
At this time, Luo Mu also completed the communication with the system and knew the true body of the Pokémon hidden under the yellow sand that was secretly planning to swallow Lei He and himself, as well as its location.
"Dragonite, use water cannon on the left rear tire of the off-road vehicle!"
Under Lei He's surprised eyes, Luo Mu suddenly spoke to command Dragonite.
What surprised Lei He even more was that the next second after Luo Mu's voice fell, Dragonite completed the charging in its mouth, and the blue water flow quickly gathered, turning into a thick water column that pierced through the night and the air, and immediately descended on the location Luo Mu pointed to.
This sense of trust and execution, Lei He believed that even Zoroark, who was with her day and night, might not be able to do this.
Under the flushing of the thick water column, the Pokémon that secretly attacked let out a strange scream and jumped straight out of the yellow sand.
In addition, because of the flushing of Dragonite's water cannon, the yellow sand in the sand near the off-road vehicle was quickly washed away, and the dazzling crystals that had been buried inside for an unknown period of time suddenly burst into brilliant light, turning into a light column that soared into the sky, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.
"Is this. Taijing Crystal!?"
Lei He immediately covered her mouth, her expression full of surprise.
After all, she is a history teacher at Orange Academy, and naturally has a clear understanding of the mysterious phenomena in the Padiya region since ancient times.
Once a Pokémon comes into contact with the energy emitted by the Taicrystal, it will undergo a transformation called Taicrystalization, and its body will shine with a crystal coating like a cut gemstone.
It is said that the Padiya Alliance is planning to popularize the controllable Taicrystalization technology jointly developed by Orin and Dr. Fortu.
"That's right. And this is the Taicrystalized Pokémon."
Luo Mu nodded slightly, confirming Leihe's statement, and looked at the Pokémon that jumped out of the yellow sand.
Sand Eater, a Pokémon with ghost + ground attributes.
Taicrystal attribute. Grass!
As the name suggests, the Sand Eater looks like a castle made of yellow sand. This "castle" consists of three parts, namely the main body in the middle and the hands on both sides.
The arched structure of the main body in the middle, which looks like a gate, is actually a mouth with pink and blue stones on it, including the top of its head.
The mouth of the Sand Eater leads directly to the back, and there is a red shovel inserted upside down on the top of its head. It is said to have the function of radar. When the Sand Eater hides in the yellow sand, he probably relies on the shovel to locate the position of Luo Mu and Lei He.
Originally, the water cannon should be the natural enemy of the Sand Eater, because it can't maintain the shape of the castle if it is hit by excessive water.
But it seems that because it is too crystallized, the Sand Eater still did not show the sign of being scattered into a piece of yellow sand under the water cannon of Dragonite just now.
After leaving the yellow sand, the Sand Eater made an angry and sharp cry, as if it was angry that Dragonite dared to use its most hated water attribute move.
On the Tilted Watchtower, because of the sharp cry of the Sand Eater, the little Pokémon put down the gold coins that he had been carefully keeping, and held his head with both hands, looking scared.
After all, it was because of the Sand Eater that it was trapped on the tower here.
The Sand Eater has been rampant near the Tilted Watchtower for a long time.
Especially when the strange crystal suddenly condensed.
After contacting the crystal, the Sand Eater, who was also coated with a layer of crystal on his body, was hit by a water-attribute move in a battle with other Pokémon. Knowing his weakness of being afraid of water, the Sand Eater, who thought he was doomed, found that his body did not collapse, and the damage of the water-attribute move was much lower than he expected.
From that moment on, the Sand Eater understood how powerful the effect of this crystal was.
As a ghost-type Pokémon, Sand Eater has an excellent energy perception ability. It found that the crystal would continuously dissipate energy when exposed to the air, so it chose to control the yellow sand to bury the crystal and slow down the dissipation rate of the crystal energy.
Since then, Sand Eater has regarded the crystal and this area as its own territory.
And Leihe, Luo Mu and Dragonite are equivalent to invading Sand Eater's territory. Not only did they not stand at attention and take the beating, but they also took out the Taijing crystal that it had concealed with great difficulty.
I am afraid that after a while, other Pokémon who noticed the light column will come to invade.
This made Sand Eater, who regarded the Taijing crystal as his own property, extremely angry.
The angry Sand Eater's mouth suddenly burst into brilliant light. With the blessing of Taijing, a brilliant green light column gushed out at Dragonite, almost illuminating half of the night sky.
A move that releases a large amount of Taijing energy in the body in one breath, Taijing Explosion!
Because Sand Devourer is of the attribute of Crystal Grass at this time, this Crystal Explosion is a grass-attribute attack.
Facing the Crystal Explosion, Dragonite was too lazy to dodge and let the Crystal Explosion explode on his body.
Luo Mu looked even more strange. Dragonite has four times the resistance to grass-attribute attacks, and there are multiple scales to weaken the damage. This Sand Devourer doesn't look very educated.
After the brilliant Crystal Explosion ended, Dragonite, which was almost unscathed, not only made Sand Devourer fall into an unbelievable state of astonishment, but also the little man on the top of the tower who had closed his eyes was full of shock.
A few days ago, it saw Sand Devourer use this trick to kill a crocodile that looked very strong in seconds!
"Pooh"
Originally, Sand Devourer's strength was far inferior to his own, not to mention this abstract Crystal Explosion of Grass.
At this time, Dragonite felt like he was rubbed in a bath, and his whole body was comfortable.
Feeling comfortable, Dragonite decided to fight back. It flapped its wings wrapped with air currents, and high-speed air currents swept towards Sand Devourer. Accompanied by the whistling of wind that was even more piercing than Sand Devourer's weird scream, the quicksand around Sand Devourer exploded instantly, and it itself was directly deprived of most of its physical strength under the attack of several storms.
"Crack--"
A clear cracking sound was heard, and the next moment, not only was Sand Devourer directly beaten out of the Taicrystal state by Dragonite, but even the Taicrystal that was buried under the yellow sand and only exposed a sharp corner turned into light debris all over the sky and completely shattered.
"Ding"
The little man on the top of the tilted watchtower cried out in surprise, his eyes kept turning around Dragonite and Luo Mu.
Did such a strong Sand Devourer lose to them just like that?
