Hunter x Hunter: Pokémon Master, the World's Strongest

The most special feature is the thick forelimbs, whose claws are extremely sharp and have a chilling metallic luster.

This is the tool it uses to dig the soil.

The creature looked like an enlarged version of a mole.

The only difference is that there are some spotted patterns on its fur, which is different from ordinary moles.

"Oh, this is a spotted mole, a very common creature here."

Saci glanced at the spotted mole that appeared and explained it carefully to the two of them.

You know what, this mole looks pretty cute.

And at first glance, it looks like a screw-headed hamster. Maybe it will look more like a dragon-headed hamster when it grows up?

"Although this mining valley is mostly made up of rocks, soil, and fossils, there are still some living creatures."

"For example, this spotted mole is one of them. It is one of the most numerous creatures on the entire Yanshi Island."

"Boom! Boom!"

As soon as Saci finished speaking, two more spotted moles appeared beside the three of them, as if they were deliberately responding to him.

He has small eyes that show his "wisdom", which makes people laugh.

"Their habit is to dig in the soil. Their large claws can dig through metal. They are extremely sharp."

“That’s why you can occasionally see passages of varying sizes in the mine.”

"They range from the size of a fist to the size that can accommodate multiple people. These are basically dug by spotted moles."

“In a sense, they also bring convenience to miners, allowing them to mine better.”

"But it's a double-edged sword because there are so many tunnels dug by moles underneath that collapses happen from time to time."

Following Saci's explanation, the three of them arrived at the lowest mine cave in the entire Kashi Mining Valley.

According to Sachi, he dug out the bone fossil in this mine.

"Wait, you mean there are a lot of holes dug by moles?"

Link suddenly had an idea, and an idea flashed through his mind, and he asked subconsciously.

"Yes, although there is no specific number, there are indeed many empty passages inside."

Saci's words successfully resolved the doubts he and Piyorn had previously raised, and also indirectly confirmed their guesses.

According to Pyorn's previous search information, this Dark Sonata had not been discovered by anyone.

Only occasionally could a little music be heard, but there were no sudden casualties.

So even if those who heard the music told others about it, no one would believe them.

Others just thought that he had hearing problems because he had stayed in the mine for too long.

It seems that the Dark Sonata is most likely in the depths of the mining valley, deep underground.

Normally, the underground is all rock, and there is no place for the Dark Sonata to live, but it is different with the existence of moles.

The holes dug by the moles underground can be used as a space for the Dark Sonata to stay.

Even those cases of missing persons due to collapses are likely related to the Dark Sonata.

Those strange skeletons are likely other underground creatures.

As they were walking in the mine dug by the mole, they happened to hear the music of the Dark Sonata.

So, entangled by the thought of death, they could only fall there.

"Then let's go in. I found it at the bottom of this cave last time."

Saci said solemnly.

If it were before, he could still face it with a relaxed attitude.

After learning that this was related to the Dark Sonata, his vigilance was raised to the highest level.

When dealing with something as bizarre as the Dark Sonata, one can never be too cautious.

At this moment, an unnoticed wave of mental energy emanated from Link's shadow and quickly probed underground.

The fluctuations of mental energy were extremely obscure and dark, and no living creature could detect them.

It’s exactly “circle”!

A normal "circle" is to expand the mind energy from the surface of the body and diffuse it in all directions, using the contact of the mind energy with objects to transmit information.

But doing so will let the person being perceived know that someone is using the "circle" on him, because an unknown mental energy is touching the other person.

The effects of "circle" are similar, and the difference is basically the size of the range, which is related to strength and the type of Nen ability.

At most, there will be some changes in the direction of use, such as not letting the "circle" go in all directions, but exploring in a single direction.

This will increase the maximum detection distance.

Catwoman demonstrated this method of use in the original book.

But right now, Machado’s “circle” is even more powerful than ordinary “circles”!

Not only does it have a very wide range, it can also detect very far places.

Moreover, coupled with his ability to conceal his breath, he can achieve "roundness" without being noticed.

He clearly used the "circle" to see the enemy's every move, but the enemy was completely unaware of it.

The effect of this "circle" is the most powerful "circle" Link has ever seen. It is worthy of being a legendary Pokémon.

Machado's "circle" continued to extend downward, and pictures appeared in its mind one after another.

There are minerals emitting golden light, well-preserved monster fossils, and underground passages crisscrossing one after another.

It was obvious that those tunnels were dug by moles.

After a moment, Link's eyes flashed.

found it!

"No, we're not going in through the mines."

Link shook his head and decided not to go through the mine. After all, it didn't lead directly to the destination.

He has an easier and faster way!

"Hey? Don't you want to go in through the mine? Or should we just dig a hole and go down?"

Pijorn asked curiously.

She thought Link had probably locked onto the approximate location of the Dark Sonata and decided to carve a path directly there.

"If that's the case, then it's quite convenient indeed."

Upon hearing this, Saci nodded, thinking that this method was indeed convenient, but he still had to consider the impact of digging the hole.

If the movement is too loud, it can easily cause large-scale collapse.

This is one of the reasons why there are rarely high-powered machines digging holes in the mining valley.

Large machines are certainly convenient, but just a few digs are equivalent to an average person's daily workload.

However, there are a lot of crisscrossing passages of different sizes underground, which can easily cause large-scale collapses if one is not careful.

At that time, the loss was more than just a little bit.

Facing the two's curious gazes, Link smiled and spoke calmly.

"You were half right. I did intend to run directly down there, but I wasn't going to dig a hole."

??

A question mark appeared above their heads.

If we don't dig a hole, how do we get down?

After a brief moment of daze, both of them remembered one of Link's mind beasts.

If I remember correctly, that mind beast has the ability to teleport!

Just as this thought flashed through their minds, a white light suddenly appeared in front of them.

The white light dissipated, and a mind beast as elegant as a young lady appeared in front of everyone.

The beautiful dress brings out its elegance to the extreme.

If super evolution is used in the future, the skirt will become even bigger.

Gardevoir's gorgeous eyes were dyed pink, and the pink energy immediately expanded to the whole body, enveloping the three people.

In an instant, infinite spiritual energy burst out with dazzling light, and the figures of the three people and one beast suddenly disappeared in the light.

Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise most people would be scared by this scene.

……

Deep in the valley of the karst mines,

There are tunnels of various sizes and very irregular shapes everywhere, which are obviously different from the tunnels dug by humans.

These are tunnels dug by moles.

A pink light flashed, and three people and one beast suddenly appeared underground.

In order to accommodate them, Gardevoir deliberately chose a larger passage.

Unfortunately, Gardevoir is not strong enough, and the range of its "circle" is far less than that of Mashado.

Therefore, a teleportation can only transmit to the channel, and cannot reach the destination in one step.

However, this place is not far from the location of the Dark Sonata, and it can be reached by walking a short distance forward.

There is no need to use teleportation again.

"Did he actually run underground all of a sudden?"

"It's teleportation indeed!"

Pijorn looked around and confirmed that they had really run to an unknown depth underground.

The underground is unlike the surface. There is no light to illuminate the ground, and all you can see is pitch black.

Fortunately, several of them are users of Nen ability. They can gather the Nen energy in their eyes, and their vision will not be affected much after they cast "Condensation".

“It seems the environment is not as bad as I imagined.”

Saci raised his palm and felt a faint breeze blowing in his hand.

Although underground, there is still some air circulation, which is why moles can survive underground.

The underground and the surface are not completely closed, and there are some openings between them for air to circulate.

“The environment isn’t that bad, but the situation could be more dangerous.”

Link frowned slightly, pointed to their side, and spoke meaningfully.

Saci and Piyorn quickly looked to the side, and their expressions changed slightly when they saw what was happening.

All I saw was a large biological skeleton.

The skeleton was relatively complete, so they could roughly make out its appearance.

Overall, it should be some kind of ground dragon, a sub-dragon species of monster.

This kind of magical beast is usually quite powerful. It can be said that creatures related to dragons are basically not weak.

If this skeleton were taken out, it would probably be sold at a high price.

The two were surprised not only by the complete skeleton of the Earth Dragon, but also by the strong death consciousness attached to it!

Unlike the small bones before, the death thought on it was too weak, making it difficult to see with their strength.

But this time it was different. There were quite a lot of death thoughts attached to it, and the death thoughts as black as ink almost condensed into substance.

The bones that should have been white were dyed black by the thought of death.

Ordinary death thoughts should be in the form of mist-like flocs, but this death thought has almost condensed from mist into a solid state!

At this moment, a strange musical sound came from the depths, like a low hum from hell.

To drag everyone who hears it into hell!
