Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Instead of recklessly rushing in, Su Hao tried to guide his energy waves into the cave.

To ordinary humans or Pokémon, aura may be an invisible and imperceptible force.

However, for legendary spirits with extremely high life levels, the opponent can easily detect the movement of the waveguide.

Moreover, Su Hao made no attempt to conceal his waveguide abilities.

—We've already got them cornered, so what's the point of hiding it?

However, when Su Hao extended the waveguide into the cave, he did not sense two unfamiliar waveguides, but only one waveguide wave that was quite familiar to him.

"Ancient Sword Leopard...?"

Shocked, Su Hao subconsciously murmured the name of the owner of the familiar waveguide fluctuations.

Indeed, it was the same Ancient Sword Leopard that had several "inextricable connections" with Su Hao, had helped Su Hao, fought the Ancient Cauldron Deer for a long time, and later refused Su Hao's offer to recruit it.

Su Hao never expected that the "severely injured Ice-type legendary Pokémon's aura" sensed by Articuno was actually Ancient Blade Leopard.

Has this guy actually come all the way to the Arctic?

What kind of fate is this...?

At the same time, the ancient sword leopard inside the cave seemed to have sensed Su Hao's wave guidance, and subconsciously let out a weak but threatening roar.

This is commonly known as breathing on something.

Chapter 1509 Boss, I've been bullied, meow (feeling wronged)

"ha--!!!"

Baring its sharp teeth, the Ancient Sword Leopard's blue cat-like eyes warily peered out of the cave, hissing threateningly.

At this moment, its fur stood on end, making it look like a white ball of fur, and its size was almost a whole size larger than before.

It's clear that Gu Jianbao is currently in a state of high tension, and he doesn't even have the leisure to pay attention to the incoming waveguide or whether the people outside are people he recognizes.

The temperature inside the cave suddenly dropped, and a cold current mixed with black mist blew up out of nowhere.

Even though the Ancient Sword Leopard was severely injured, its legendary nature as an elf remained unchanged.

Seeing that Su Hao seemed to be about to step forward, Articuno stretched out its wings to stop him.

"It seems a bit disoriented right now, let me calm it down first."

Articuno was referring to the physical method that calmed the Ancient Sword Leopard.

Even though it had heard from Su Hao about how the Ancient Sword Leopard had helped it, it valued Su Hao's safety more.

Besides, everyone here is a legendary spirit, and they know that even if they are seriously injured, it's not that hard to die, so there's absolutely no need to take any risks.

"No need, leave it to me."

Su Hao shook his head, still intending to take the lead himself.

Putting aside whether the Ancient Sword Leopard could harm itself in its current state, from the perspective of calming its emotions, forcibly suppressing it is always the worst approach.

Since Su Hao had already said so, Articuno had no choice but to give up.

I made a deal with Rashiram on the waveguide channel: if the Ancient Sword Leopard showed any signs of going berserk, we would immediately take action to subdue it.

Su Hao had already entered the cave.

Looking at the ancient sword leopard breathing wildly at him, he said helplessly, "I've met you three times in total, and you were seriously injured twice."

"It was understandable that you had just awakened and broken free from the seal the last time, but this time the power of calamity was almost entirely shared by you, and as a result, you ended up with yourself covered in injuries."

Gu Jianbao, who had already lost his mind, reacted to Su Hao's words with the following:

"ha!!!"

The Ancient Sword Leopard continued to pant, and even activated its Spinosaurus form, while mumbling something incoherently.

"Old Wu, Old Wu, Old Wu, Old Wu..."

Su Hao: "........"

Look at this snow leopard, what has it become of it because of the cubs?

Looking across the entire Arctic continent, there are probably only a handful of Pokémon capable of turning Guglitter into something like this.

Kyurem probably isn't that free; he's probably still fast asleep.

Su Hao knew who the guy who turned the Ancient Sword Leopard into this was—someone who thought with the muscles of a Blazing Roaring Tiger.

"Glacier..."

A cold glint appeared in Su Hao's eyes. Although he had no right to do anything for Gu Jianbao, that guy really deserved to be taught a lesson.

But before dealing with the glacier, we need to calm down the Ancient Sword Leopard first.

Using both the power of waveguides and the power of eternal light, Su Hao began to try to soothe the ancient sword leopard's emotions.

Perhaps because he was so immersed in the role, even though he was a legendary elf, the Ancient Sword Leopard, who transformed from a bronze sword into a feline, really acted according to feline instincts.

This is both a problem and an opportunity.

What Su Hao needs to do now is to stop the Ancient Sword Leopard from breathing heavily, or at least prevent it from exhibiting any aggressive behavior.

Then the ancient sword leopard can experience the joy of felines, bringing its rationality back to normal.

"Mimi, be good... I'm not a bad person."

The Ancient Sword Leopard is a snow leopard from Shenzhou, and Su Hao naturally used the common language of the Shenzhou Alliance through the waveguide to soothe it.

A strangely familiar waveguide kept touching him, and while Gu Jianbao appeared fierce on the outside, a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Targeting that blank look, Su Hao struck without hesitation, placing his hands directly on the most sensitive part of the ancient sword leopard before it could react.

—The Eighteen Skills of Petting Cats Have Returned to the Scene.

"Ha... glug?"

The ancient sword leopard's ears folded back, making its face almost resemble a seal's, but then, an unforgettable, familiar, and irresistible feeling of comfort washed over it.

His body, which he had been holding up, went limp, and Gu Jianbao collapsed to the ground with a thud, letting Su Hao grope him with lifeless eyes.

A moment later, the ancient sword leopard's lifeless cat eyes regained their liveliness.

It glanced at Su Hao, who was petting itself and healing itself with the power of the Everlasting Rock, with a complicated look in its eyes, and let out a weak cry.

There was also a sense of grievance in his voice.

It's like a rebellious cat choosing to wander the streets, only to be brutally beaten by society. Just as it pitifully lies by the roadside, it is suddenly found by its original owner, and that genuine emotion is revealed.

—Boss, I've been bullied, meow (feeling wronged).

"I know, we'll get our revenge later."

Having understood what Gu Jianbao was trying to say, Su Hao ruffled Gu Jianbao's head like he was coaxing a child.

After receiving Su Hao's reply.

After holding his breath for so long, Gu Jianbao finally breathed a sigh of relief, let his head droop, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

This will make its mental state and physical recovery faster.

Articuno shrank in size and went into the cave.

The Four Great Treasures of Calamity... It had vaguely heard rumors about them before, but because the other party had always been sealed away.

This was Articuno's first encounter with the other party.

Upon closer inspection, judging from the aura naturally emanating from the Ancient Sword Leopard, and Su Hao's statement that the other three Calamity Treasures are now sealed and the Ancient Sword Leopard alone holds the Calamity Authority that should have been divided into four, it's clear that...

His opponent at his peak might have been even stronger than him, but Gu Jianbao was still severely injured.

It's simply impossible with Regice's power alone.

Noticing Articuno's strange expression, Su Hao, who was continuing to treat it, said, "The other party probably has some special methods, such as the technology given by Giovanni... or something like that."

After all, Mewtwo also exists over there, so it's perfectly normal for them to come up with some advanced technology that can harm legendaries.

Just like the machine that Nightmare had in Viridian Forest and the Infinite Realm, which he and Articuno used to kill for the first time and that emitted nightmares and forcibly controlled Celebi.

"That is indeed possible."

Recalling its past memories, Articuno nodded in agreement.

Indeed, even I almost fell victim to that device and became dizzy.

If there were a stronger version, combined with the power of the Ice God Regice, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Ancient Sword Leopard in its current state.

Moreover, if Articuno's senses are correct, there is still some residual power in the Ancient Sword Leopard affecting Su Hao's treatment.

------------

Chapter 1510 Attack

Since Articuno had discovered it, Su Hao, as the healer, naturally also discovered the culprit that was hindering his treatment and preventing the Ancient Sword Leopard from healing itself.

"Negative energy, huh...?"

Sensing the energy within the Ancient Sword Leopard, Su Hao's expression turned serious.

Gu Jianbao's current state seems to be a rejection reaction.

One side is negative energy from outside.

One is the calamity power that exists within it, a purer form of malice, negative emotions, and curses that exist as part of the world and are therefore justifiable.

These things caused the ancient sword leopard, once a symbol of good fortune, to become a source of calamity, and it became deeply intertwined with the ancient sword.

Compared to otherworldly objects, the power of calamity, which is no less exclusive, naturally does not want to be invaded and merged by negative energy.

A fierce battle ensued within the Ancient Sword Leopard's body, preventing it from completing its self-healing process thanks to the legendary elf's constitution.

Gu Jianbao was not affected by this level of negative energy.

Just as Su Hao had suspected, at the R Research Institute... Sakaki was plotting against a tiger, researching the power originating from dark matter.

I just don't know which specific areas they researched.
