"This?" Yu Hai widened his eyes slightly and murmured softly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his gaze was fixed on the three super stones in front of him.

Although he had a hunch that it would be a super stone, he was still surprised when he saw it with his own eyes. He didn't expect it to be the super stones of these three elves. In the treasure house with only flashlights, the atmosphere was a little relaxed and happy. It felt great to eat alone.

The excitement on his face was beyond words and he couldn't hide it at all. He smiled unscrupulously and looked at the faint fluorescence emitted by the three super stones, as if telling the story of how they once followed the king.

"That is the power of the devil, that is the power of the devil, and you will be bitten back by the devil." King Poclaantis' voice echoed in the silent treasury, with a hint of anxiety and anger.

The black energy trembled slightly as it looked at those symbols of power, and showed deep fear towards Yu Hai in its eyes. It stared at Yu Hai, and when it saw Yu Hai was stunned by the super stone, it couldn't help but start muttering.

Those things were once symbols of the king's supreme power and the powerful force he relied on to conquer the world.

In King Poclaantis' memory, this kind of power is definitely not something that ordinary civilians and slaves can touch. It is a powerful force that belongs exclusively to the king, and only the king himself is qualified to control it.

In the past, any civilians or slaves who attempted to get their hands on the Super Stone would be ruthlessly devoured by the demon hidden behind this power, and would fall into an endless curse, unable to break free.

"This is not the power of the devil, it's just a Mega Evolution Stone. It can bring more powerful power to the trainer's Pokémon." Yu Hai shook his head slightly, a faint smile on his face, his tone calm and confident.

It's modern times now, we have airplanes, high-speed trains and other things, but people are not as ignorant as the ancients.

Looking at the super stone inlaid in the symbol of power, he also took out a jeweled dagger from the corner of the treasure house. Under the illumination of the flashlight, the blade of the dagger flashed with a cold light, and it was obvious that it was made by a famous master.

He held the dagger carefully, concentrating to avoid getting cut, and placed the dagger lightly into the crack of the super stone, prying it with a slight force. Every movement was made with extreme caution, for fear of damaging the super stone.

There was a slight friction sound where the super stone touched the crown. It was particularly clear in the silent treasury. As he pried it, the super stone slowly loosened and he gently took it off.

After prying off the super stone, he took out an exquisite box from his backpack and placed the super stone on the soft silk fabric of the box.

Then, he used the same method to pry off the super stones of Hippopotamus and Raidenmon.

He gently stroked the three super stones in his hand, and a burst of joy suddenly surged in his heart. This exploration of the ruins was very fruitful. Compared with those mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, these three super stones were truly priceless treasures.

Among these three super stones, the most precious one is undoubtedly the super stone of the fossil pterosaur, followed by the super stone of the hippopotamus, and finally the super stone of the thunder beast.

He gently picked up the super stone and examined it carefully, thinking to himself that none of them were super stones that he could use. This time he was going to the Quartz Plateau, and if he could meet someone he knew, he could just exchange all three super stones.

Replace it with a super stone that you can use, preferably a super stone for water elves, so that you can better prepare for the battle for the Four Heavenly Kings. The water super stone may play a huge role.

Suddenly, he thought of another question. Judging from the configuration of these three super stones, he couldn't help but look at the black energy in Gengar's hand. The owner of these three super stones was the king of Poclaantis.

At this time, Gengar was quietly floating aside, emitting a dark aura. The black energy had struggled for so long but was unable to escape, which meant that it had ended here.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he couldn't help but chuckled, saying: "According to the legends passed down, you wanted to capture the Phoenix King in ancient times, but your offensive behavior angered the Phoenix King, and the Phoenix King sent down a natural disaster and destroyed the Poclaantis Empire."

He leaned closer to Gengar, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and continued, "One day, the Poclaantis Empire suddenly disappeared from history. It is said that the king escaped and sealed the Phoenix King in a stone ball in order to seek revenge..."

"Capture the Phoenix King?"

A hint of doubt appeared on his face. He shook his head slightly and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Anyway, he didn't believe it.

Not to mention in ancient times when productivity was underdeveloped, even the whereabouts of Ho-Oh would have been difficult to track down, let alone capture him. Even in modern times when technology is so advanced, no one can catch Ho-Oh.

The powerful strength displayed by Ho-Oh has already deterred countless trainers, making it impossible to capture it.

Therefore, the legend released by the king might just be a fake news smokescreen. His purpose is just to wait for the right person to release him so that he can possess that person and continue to realize the king's ambition to rule the world.

He had long known that the stone ball did not seal the Phoenix King at all, but the king's inflated ambition, trying to travel through the long years and live to the afterlife to continue pursuing that crazy idea of ​​ruling. Seeing that King Poclaintis remained silent, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head and continued to look at the expressionless black air, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled slowly:
"If I guess correctly, you did want to capture the Phoenix King and rule the world at the beginning, but after the Phoenix King destroyed the Poclaantis Empire, you saw how powerful the Phoenix King was and you dared not capture the Phoenix King anymore, and your ever-expanding ambition was shattered..."

As he spoke, he observed the black gas, staring at it closely, as if trying to see through its mind. He continued to analyze, "If it was to capture the Phoenix King, your Pokémon configuration would not be Fossil Wyvern, Slow Hippo, and Thunder Beast..."

He saw that the black energy seemed to have been predicted, and remained silent, without any reaction. He was neither angry nor irritable, and there was not even a trace of emotional fluctuation. He was completely out of the matter, like a pool of dead air.

Seeing this, he crossed his arms and continued to analyze: "If you want to capture the Phoenix King, you should subdue the rock-type, water-type, electric-type and other Pokémon that can restrain the Phoenix King..."

"Although Pterosaur, Hippopotamus, and Thunder Beast also have these three attributes, these three Pokémon are not strong. There are Pokémon with these three attributes that are stronger. As a king, you can't be unaware of this, right?"

He suddenly thought of something, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes, and with a hint of sarcasm on his face, he said with a smile: "These three elves are mostly used for escape. The fossil pterosaur can fly, the stupid hippopotamus can teleport, and the thunder beast can release dogs..."

"This team doesn't look like they are going to capture the Phoenix King at all. Instead, it looks like you want to save your life. That's why you escaped from the destructive disaster of the Phoenix King and enslaved the natives of this place. You forced them to build this tomb for you and wait for your resurrection now..."

His speculation was not groundless. After all, the vile act of "releasing dogs" was an old tradition common among the big landowners and nobles in both his past and present lives.

Whether in the past life or this life, these inhumane and black-hearted nobles and landlords completely disregard the lives of others, do not regard ordinary people as human beings at all, and love to let dogs bite people, showing their cruelty and inhumanity.

Moreover, in ancient times, slaves were not considered human beings at all, but just animals that could be killed at will.

The foul smell emanating from the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury seemed to be telling of the misdeeds of these ancient people. He showed a hint of disdain in his eyes and continued his analysis.

Since they are all releasing dogs, there is essentially no difference between releasing a dog that can super evolve, and only your own dog can super evolve, and is different from other people's dogs.

In this way, you will appear more advanced and can better demonstrate your superiority, your extraordinary, noble, and unique identity and status?

"Obviously, these three Pokémon can't help you catch the Ho-Oh. If you really want to capture the Ho-Oh, you must rely on other more powerful Pokémon."

He stared at the black gas closely, his eyes burning with scrutiny. That was a stronger Pokémon, at least a legendary Pokémon. He quickly asked, "Did you bring the Pokémon that captured the Phoenix King with you? Where did you hide it?"

After asking, he found that the black energy was still silent, without making any sound, without the slightest ripple, as if his words had hit the vital point, and it remained silent. It seemed that he had guessed it almost right. The king's silence was the best answer.

In this case, he no longer continued to question the black gas. If King Poclaantis had ever thought of capturing the Phoenix King and really brought out the elves who were going to capture the Phoenix King, they would most likely be hiding in this ruins.

If we look carefully later, we might be able to find their traces. The most urgent task now is to continue looking at this treasure house.

Wearing gloves, he continued to search in the treasury. There was a faint smell of decay in the treasury, and all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry and necklaces were displayed in a dazzling array.

He looked at each item carefully, and randomly took out a few pearls and gems from the treasure house, weighing them in his hands, feeling the texture and weight of the pearls.

Then he placed these pearls and gems on the crown, scepter, and sword in the grooves where the super stones were originally inlaid, and compared their sizes.

Afterwards, the pearls and gems were carefully inlaid one by one in the grooves of the crown, scepter, and sword to fill the gaps left after the loss of the super stone. They tried to make the filled appearance look natural to avoid being discovered by archaeologists in the future.

After doing all this, he found that there was nothing valuable in the treasure house except these mundane things. He winked at Gengar, signaling Gengar to press the mechanism of the throne.

Geng Gui immediately understood what he meant, floated to the throne, stretched out his ghost hand and pressed the hidden mechanism.

As Gengar closed the treasury, a slight mechanical sound was heard, and the throne of the treasury slowly closed, returning to its previous appearance, and sealing everything inside again. He really had no interest in the antique artifacts left by King Poclaantis.

There is no need to sell these things for money. Once tracked down by the Alliance, he will definitely be suspected of stealing the artifacts from the Poclaantis ruins.

Reselling cultural relics is an illegal act in the alliance's laws. Just like in the previous life, the offender will be punished accordingly, and may even be sent to prison for labor reform.

At this moment, the black air that had been silent all this time suddenly became agitated, and King Poclaantis's angry sharp cry suddenly came out from the black air again, sounding particularly noisy.

"You can't do this, you despicable and shameless thief, you hateful thief, you damned thief, where are my loyal warriors, come and kill this damned thief, cut this damned thief into pieces..."
