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

Suddenly, the huge tail behind it swung violently, covered with countless diamond-like substances.

This raises the damage to a new level.

This is the [Gem] ability gained after eating the stone diamond.

Then, a strengthened iron tail rushed straight towards Wuxiangyan's body, as if carrying a heavy burden.

Even when it was swung, it would produce an extremely heavy sound of breaking through the air, and a strong wind would blow in the valley.

[Wuxiangyan] pulled with both hands, trying to quickly grab the iron tail of the giant steel snake.

However, when his hands touched the iron tail, he could not withstand the tremendous force and his hands were instantly broken!

The iron tail's power remained undiminished as it charged straight towards [Formless Rock] and hit it steadily.

boom!

The sound of a missile explosion resounded throughout the valley, and [Wuxiang Rock] seemed to be under several rounds of missile bombardment at the same time.

The torso was instantly blown to pieces, and several rocks wrapped in thick smoke and dust spread across the field.

As Steelix gained a new amount of experience points, [Formless Rock] also died completely.

Seeing this, the Steelix didn't feel disgusted and started to eat the rock in big mouthfuls.

While gaining new experience points, Steelix also gained a new ability.

[Powerful Repair]: If the body is damaged and parts are separated, they will automatically return to the body and become one.

If the damage is too severe, it cannot be repaired and the ability will require a large amount of energy.

With this ability, Steelix completely becomes a pentagonal meat shield.

On the offensive side, there are explosions, poisons, and diamonds.

There is gas for assistance.

On the defensive side, there are Black Shock and Diamond.

There are shadows and electromagnetic levitation in terms of movement.

There is powerful repair in treatment.

After devouring the [Phaseless Rock], Link continued to ride Steelix towards the depths.

I didn't see anything special along the way, and the surrounding rock walls were still orange-red.

But for some reason, apart from the first batch, there was no second batch of rockfish.

Perhaps there are not many rockfish, so it is difficult to encounter them.

But there was one thing that Link found a little strange.

As he went deeper, the thick fog in the air became thinner and thinner.

At the same time, the new gestation bar in my mind is also advancing rapidly.

This kind of gestation bar is relatively rare, and the one that impressed him the most is Gengar's gestation bar.

He obtained it in the Halim ruins, and he needs to continue to go deeper into the Halim ruins to nurture it.

In other words, this gestation bar is the same as Gengar's gestation bar, and he needs to keep going deeper.

Generally speaking, when this happens, there is something unusual deep down.

Sure enough, after moving forward quietly for more than ten minutes, Link suddenly found that the rock wall next to him had changed.

The originally bare rock wall suddenly began to show dense and complex patterns.

Some of these lines are twisted like earthworms, while others are very square.

It looks weird when put together.

However, the most common ones are some dot-like patterns similar to Braille, which are almost everywhere.

These spots formed some kind of message that Link didn't know, and they also emitted a faint green light.

In this dim valley, it provides a lot of light, allowing you to see farther.

So... this is a relic?

Link stared at the scribbles on the rock wall, his brows subconsciously furrowed.

He always felt that these messy lines played some kind of role and did not seem to be put there randomly.

Much like...

divine writing

However, Porygon Z, who had studied the divine language, said that this was not the divine language.

To be honest, it is a kind of writing that also has special powers, but it is not a divine writing.

If you want to crack it, it will take a lot of time.

Link didn't care about this and let Porygon Z take its time. He was not in a hurry.

If it really is a text similar to divine writing, it means that there were people living here before, or there was a civilization.

And this was before the Kuruta people lived here.

Because from what the old patriarch said, they have been living here since ancient times and have never seen a second human race around.

This means that other species may have lived in this volcanic area before the Kuruta people came here?

The reason why it is called a species is because Link is not sure whether it is human.

After all, judging from the species we have encountered before, such as stone giants and diamond elves, their intelligence is not inferior to that of humans.

In the Dark Continent, everything can possess intelligence, and humans are no longer the dominant force.

but……

The complex and strange patterns, coupled with the various rock types encountered at the bottom of the valley [disasters]

This made Link wonder, as if a vague image of a Pokémon appeared in his mind.

If that was the case, his hunch was right this time, it was indeed a very good Pokémon.

With excitement in his heart, Link continued to stay on Steelix's back and moved forward steadily.

However, after a period of peace, new problems inevitably arose.

I saw a tall figure blocking the way, with almost no gap left behind.

It's more like a barrier that has been set up in advance to prevent other things from going behind it.

What appeared in front of Link was a "tree" that was about several hundred to a thousand meters tall.

The "trees" grow in close rows, their "branches" are intertwined, and their "leaves" overlap.

It forms a rock-like structure that occupies an entire area and raises the terrain by a thousand meters.

It is called this because it is not a real tree, but a tree formed from rocks.

【Rock Tree】: Although it is made of rock, it can continue to grow like a tree.

It has its own roots, branches and leaves, and there is a huge space underneath, densely packed together.

There are weak spots between the branches, and once a creature steps on them, even a mouse will fall down.

Any creature that falls into it will have no chance to escape and will only become nutrients for the [Rock Tree].

[Ranyan Tree] has strange fruits that look like ordinary stones.

They will stay on the [Rock Tree] or scatter on the ground. Once a creature approaches, they will explode immediately.

The rock tree seeds inside immediately take root and parasitize on flesh and blood, and grow on the living thing.

After absorbing enough nutrients and falling off, it matures over time and becomes mature when its appearance completely turns into stone material.

The weakness is water. If you are covered in water, you won't suffer much damage.

……

Looking at the huge monster in front of him, Link raised his eyebrows and did not rush forward.

It can be said that he was originally just a little curious about the depths.

But after seeing this [Rock Tree], his curiosity became even stronger, and he was determined to reach its depths.

This [Rock Tree] is obviously placed there intentionally to prevent creatures from reaching the back.

So what lies deep down?

Is it a hope that can bring great benefits?

Or can it destroy everything, including the expected [disaster]?

No matter which one it was, from the moment he was conceived, he was destined to go to the depths.

Even a [disaster] can be turned into [hope] in his hands.

For example, as Pokémon experience points?

Link turned over, stepped firmly on the ground, took two steps forward and saw a stone as big as a football.

Both the color and texture are the same as the [Rock Tree] that covers the sky.

Link stretched out his hand casually, and the stone flew directly into his hand as if it had wings.

boom!

As if sensing a living creature approaching, the stone exploded automatically, making a sound like a powerful bomb.

What was strange was that there was no gravel inside, but something like powder scattered everywhere.

They are searching for parasites.

However, they did not touch what they wanted, but instead ran into a thin green barrier.

Being blocked, unable to move forward.

"Very sharp indeed."

Link nodded, and the rock exploded about five or six meters away from him.

In other words, anyone who steps within five or six meters of this stone will be attacked.

Just by imagining it, Link knew what other people would feel like in this situation.

This kind of thing cannot be blocked by mental energy. It will take root directly in the body and corrode it quickly.

This is why Link used [Guard] to block.

Link strongly suspected that there were originally many creatures at the bottom of the valley, but they were eventually swallowed up by this [Rock Tree].

Otherwise, how could this [Ranyan Tree] have grown to this extent?

However, it is also possible that some organisms actively delivered nutrients to the [Rock Tree] during its growth, deliberately allowing it to grow.

This statement also indirectly confirms his idea.

There's probably something deep down.

Now, as he continued to move forward, the place where the rock tree was located was no longer a rift valley.

Instead, he came to the inside of the mountain, and there was no road for him to go up to the top.

This means that there is probably something hidden inside this mountain.

Link lightly tapped his feet, jumped up, and landed steadily on Steelix again.

The next moment, Steelix and Link sneaked into the shadows and went directly around the [Rock Tree] to the back.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that there is such a way to go deep into the depths?

After a few breaths, Steelix emerged from the shadows carrying Link, and the road ahead was unusually bright.

There is no more fog here, but instead dense lines on the rock walls on both sides.

The lines here are more numerous and denser than those outside, as if the person who drew it was worried that there were not enough lines and painted with all his might.

The faint green light shining through these lines made the entire passage, including Link's face, glow green.

This environment has the feeling of an old horror movie, as if a ghost in white clothes will appear at any moment.

Those lines that make people's scalps tingle are like Taoist talismans, as if they are used to suppress some kind of evil spirit.
