Is there something wrong with playing Pokémon in Genshin Impact?

"Don't worry, we will all take care of ourselves."

Listening to the Great Sword Demon's words, Xingqiu smiled lightly and walked towards the spiral tower in front of him.

Because the tower was hung upside down and one couldn't walk directly in, Xingqiu could only climb to the top of the tower, then climb up from the top to the second-to-last floor and enter through the window there.

After finally entering the tower, Xingqiu had no time to rest. He stood back to back with the Great Sword Demon, looking around vigilantly.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief after realizing there were no enemies.

"It looks like there are no enemies on this floor. Let's go to the next floor."

After saying that, Greatsword Demon took the lead and walked in the front. Riolu, as the hub of team communication, was protected in the middle of the team, while Xingqiu followed behind with the scabbard of his single sword.

As soon as he reached the next floor and saw the scene in front of him clearly, Xingqiu's breathing stagnated. At the same time, the illustrated book on his waist also rang.

【Ding! 】

【Wind Ball】

[Attributes: Ghost, Flying]

[Hot Air Balloon Pokémon, the evolved form of Floatball, spends the day floating in a daze, and in the evening begins to fly together in a group, and no one knows where they are flying to. 】

……

【Floating Ball】

[Attributes: Ghost, Flying]

[A balloon Pokémon that is hollow inside and expands and contracts based on its emotions. It likes humid seasons.]

The roof of this floor is densely packed with various kinds of balloons.

And these balloons are all ghost-type Pokémon.

Seeing so many ghost-type Pokémon gathered together made Xingqiu's scalp tingle.

At the same time, these wind-following balls and floating balls also noticed Xingqiu, and they all made strange laughs and pounced on him. Looking at their postures, it seemed as if they were going to tear them to pieces.

Riolu sensed the waves of these wind balls and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Xingqiu, be careful. These Pokémon have been trapped here for who knows how long. They must have been starving to the point of losing consciousness. The scent of the living on us is a delicacy for these ghost-type Pokémon."

Riolu shouted to Xingqiu that there was only one word "hungry" in the waveguides of these wind balls.

"Great Sword Ghost, prepare for a sneak attack on the vital points, don't attack yet!"

Xingqiu instructed the Great Sword Ghost.

The Great Sword Demon nodded, and black evil energy coiled around the huge horn on his forehead.

The appearance of the evil energy that restrained itself really made these wind balls afraid to act rashly, and they roared around Xingqiu and the others.

"Mi~"

At this moment, a soft cry suddenly came from a cave not far away.

Hearing this voice, Riolu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xingqiu.

"We are saved. Follow me."

As he spoke, Riolu's small body rushed directly in one direction.

Seeing this, Xingqiu did not delay and hurriedly followed. The Greatsword Demon led the way, and the evil energy wrapped around his horn made the wind balls blocking the way retreat one after another.

Finally, a crack created by the fallen floor appeared in front of Xingqiu and others.

"Go in quickly."

Riolu slid and got directly into the gap.

Xingqiu was not to be outdone and followed closely behind. The Greatsword Demon looked at the narrow gap in front of him, gritted his teeth, and squeezed in.

After entering this gap, those wind balls did not follow in.

"Huh... Riolu, how did you know this place?"

Looking at the wind balls outside, Xingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked Riolu.

"I don't know. It told me."

But Riolu shook his head and pointed behind him.

Xingqiu looked in the direction Riolu pointed and found a floating ball waving at him.

For a moment, Xingqiu's scalp went numb and he was about to pull out his sword and chop it down.

But his trust in Riolu calmed him down.

Seeing this, Riolu quickly grabbed Xingqiu and Piaopiao's hands and linked the two guys' waveguides.

"Hello, outsider, welcome to the Dragon Spiral Tower, but unfortunately, you are a little late. Long-term hunger has gradually eroded the rationality of my kind."

The sound of the floating ball is very gentle, which is in sharp contrast to the crazy wind-blown balls outside.

"Hello, you said this place is called Dragon Spiral Tower? May I ask why it is called this name? Also, do you know how I can leave here?"

Xingqiu was full of doubts at this moment. Now that he had finally found someone with whom he could communicate, he naturally wanted to get to the bottom of things.

"Outsider, please don't be impatient. As long as it's something I know, I will naturally answer it."

"First is the Dragon Spiral Tower. This spiral tower was originally located in a region called Unova. According to ancient rumors, it is the anchor that suppresses ideals and reality. It is said that if the Dragon Spiral Tower is destroyed, the barrier between illusion and reality will become blurred. As for where this rumor came from, I am not sure. This rumor is really too old, so old that it is impossible to trace its origin."

The piaopiao ball continued to speak.

"As for how to leave the Dragon Spiral Tower, I'm sorry, I don't know either. If I knew, my compatriots wouldn't be starving like this. It is said that in the past, the Dragon Spiral Tower was a paradise, and the Pokémon living here shared the glory of ideals and reality. Therefore, the Pokémon here grew in strength very quickly, and it became a holy place in the minds of many people."

"But I don't know when everything changed. The Dragon Spiral Tower became closed, and no one could come in or go out. It seemed that something terrible had happened in the outside world. Endless loud noises were heard outside, and the Pokémon in the entire Dragon Spiral Tower became panic-stricken.

"At that time, all the Pokémon were filled with joy, and were filled with joy for living in the Dragon Spiral Tower. However, as time went by and food became scarce, they discovered that things were not that simple. Because of the shortage of food, this place suddenly changed from a paradise to a prison like hell. That period of time was also known as the Great Turmoil."

As he spoke, Piaopiao Ball slowly shook his head.

"As for the rest, I don't know. I wasn't born at that time. When I was born, the great turmoil had already ended. My parents kept talking about sinners. After I gained the ability to protect myself, they died completely."

When talking about his dead parents, there was no fluctuation in Piaopiao's eyes. Growing up in this deformed place, his three views had long been distorted.

Xingqiu remained silent as he listened to Piaopiao Ball's description. He could vaguely guess what was going on.

Ghost-type Pokémon feed on the energy of the living. According to common sense, as long as there are living people, it is impossible for ghost-type Pokémon to be as hungry as they are now.

But that's how it turned out.

"Wait... if you said there's no food here, then how did you stay conscious?"

Suddenly, Xingqiu discovered the blind spot in Piaopiaoqiu's words and asked quickly.

"I will answer this question for you later. Now, outsider, it is your turn to answer my question."

Hearing this, Xingqiu nodded slowly.

Looking at Xingqiu's expression, Piaopiaoqiu's breathing became a little rapid.

"Outsider, how did you get in? Before you came, we tried countless ways, but we still couldn't leave the Dragon Spiral Tower. There is a powerful force covering the Dragon Spiral Tower. Now... has that power disappeared?"

Listening to Piaopiao's anxious words, Xingqiu slowly shook his head.

"I don't know whether it disappeared or not, because I was adventuring with my companions when I suddenly broke into this place. My companions did not come in. As for the Dragon Spiral Tower, I easily broke the glass on the top of the tower and walked in from the top of the tower."

"Top of the tower?"

There was something odd about the look in Piaopiao's eyes.

"Yes, the top of the tower. From the outside, the tower looks like it's hanging upside down. The top of the tower is on the ground, and the bottom of the tower is in the sky."

Hearing this, Piaopiao Ball's eyes looked a little dazed. Obviously, these things had exceeded the limits of its cognition.

"Okay, I get it. Now, let me show you why I can stay sane in this place."

After a long time, Piaopiao Ball slowly spoke. It still couldn't understand what the inverted dragon spiral tower meant, so it gave up thinking about it.

As it spoke, the Floating Ball walked towards the depths of the crevice, and Xingqiu followed.

When he reached the end of the gap, Xingqiu saw that there was another passage on the ground, leading to the next level.

This passage is actually hidden in this place. No wonder Xingqiu has never found the passage to the next level.

As he walked down the passage, Xingqiu discovered that this floor was filled with all kinds of ghost-type Pokémon. But unlike the previous floor, the Pokémon on this floor looked much stronger than those on that floor.

In an instant, Xingqiu's hair stood on end, and the Eye of God on his waist emitted a faint light.

Those powerful ghost-type Pokémon looked at Xingqiu greedily and then looked away, as if they were afraid of something.

"This Dragon Spiral Tower has a tower keeper, and this tower keeper is now the only living person in the entire Dragon Spiral Tower. At the same time, he is also the reason why I can stay sane."

The sound of the floating ball came slowly, and at this time, Xingqiu realized that the powerful ghost Pokémon around him seemed to be forming a circle around something.

And the floating ball was taking them towards the center of the circle.

The deeper you go, the fewer ghost-type Pokémon there are around, but the stronger the aura they exude becomes.

And passing those ghost-type Pokémon with the strongest aura, Xingqiu finally saw what the center of the circle was.

—The head dragon!

An old dragon.

【Double Axe War Dragon】

【Attribute: Dragon】

【Features: Breaking the Rules】

[The Jaw Axe Pokémon, the final form of Fang, has a gentle personality, but has hard fangs that will not become blunt even if they cut through steel bars, and is covered in hard armor. 】

[Skills: Grab, Stare, Bite, Stop, Pursue with Malice, Provoke, Chop, Dragon Claw, Ghost Face, Crush, Dragon Dance, Double Chop, Sharpening, Dragon Wave, Sword Dance, Reverse Scale, Guillotine, Ultimate Impact...]

This double-axe war dragon is so old that it can hardly stand up and can only lie on the ground, gasping for breath. The hard scales on its body have turned white due to the passage of time, and its sharp axe teeth are covered with scars, showing how brave it was when it was young.

At this time, even though it has become so old, there is still no ghost-type Pokémon coming to touch its whiskers. It can only hide in the distance and look at this old dragon with greed and fear in its eyes.

Chapter 175: The Final Madness, the Light Stone

Information about the old dragon came out from the illustration without making any sound. This was something Li Pan specifically told everyone who got the illustration, because when going on an adventure, one could never know what dangers might arise, so it was best to mute the illustration.

At this moment, the old dragon seemed to smell the scent of the floating ball, and a smile slowly appeared on its dry face.

"Roar……"

A deep voice sounded in the silent and empty space, and Xingqiu quickly looked to Riolu for help.

Li Translation, please give me some help.

Seeing this, Riolu rolled his eyes at him, grabbed Xingqiu's hand, and adjusted Xingqiu's waveguide to the same frequency as the Double Axe War Dragon.

It didn't dare to rashly connect to the Double Axe War Dragon's waveguide because something might go wrong.

"Little guy, you're here."

The Double Axe War Dragon said so.

It was too old, so old that it didn't even have the strength to open its eyes.

"Well, I'm here."

Piaopiao Ball looked a little sad. After so many years in the Dragon Spiral Tower, the Double Axe War Dragon was its only friend.

"I'm dying."

The Double Axe War Dragon continued to speak. When he said that he was about to die, there was no frustration in his tone, but instead it was full of a sense of relief.

"I know."

As a ghost-type Pokémon, Float could sense that Dragonite's life was extremely fragile, like a candle in the wind.

"Before the energy in my body completely disappears, you should absorb it. From now on, there are still who knows how many long years to come, and you will have to go alone. You will see the day when I can get out on my behalf. Oh, by the way, when the day comes that I can get out, you must go to the top of the tower, worship the white stone on the top of the tower, and then spit.

The voice of the Double Axe War Dragon was gentle but heavy. Listening to the words of the Double Axe War Dragon, Piaopiaoqiu's eyes gradually became moist.

"Wait, don't die, maybe we can find a way to leave."

Piaopiao Qiu quickly interrupted the chattering of Double Axe War Dragon, and at the same time, looked at Xingqiu beside him for help.

Seeing this, Xingqiu hurried forward.

"Ahem, Senior Double Axe War Dragon, I think..."
