Pokémon: World of Wonder

Does Chapter 211 really exist?

Turning his head to look at the three stone slabs standing quietly behind him, the old man said with a look of reminiscence, "In an unknown time long, long ago."

"On the land beneath our feet, there appeared a Pokémon we call the Phoenix. The number of Phoenixes is very small, but they value their territory very much."

"And they are the three tribes of Pokémon that Phoenix uses to help it manage its territory."

"Three tribes?"

Jiang Ye frowned as he thought about it, then turned to look at the old man, who nodded.

"It is recorded in the book that these three tribes control the power of waves, fire, and thunder respectively."

After saying this, the old man turned around and looked into Jiang Ye’s bright eyes.

"Currently, the existence of these three Pokémon appears from time to time in the investigation reports on the abnormal space-time holes given by the Alliance."

"Scholars today name them Wavering Water, Breaking Sky Flame, and Fierce Thunder Drum."

"Boy, have you heard about the Burnt Tower incident in Chengdu in recent years?"

Jiang Ye nodded, "I know."

The old man smiled confidently and said, "Young people are quick-witted. I guess you have discovered something?"

Jiang Ye frowned and asked, "Are you trying to say that the Phoenix really appeared?"

The old man slowly turned his head and looked at the rough texture of the three stone slabs in front of him. "Without solid evidence, who knows?"

"Just think of it as listening to an old man who has failed in life complaining about his dreams."

Looking at the old man who looked exactly the same as when Jiang Ye first met him, Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows. He really didn't know whether this old man's job was cleaning or "cheating people".

Jiang Ye took a picture of the three huge stone slabs with the communicator, then walked around the old man and the stone slabs and continued forward.

In order to protect the safety of a large number of ordinary tourists, all the Pokémon living in the entire ruins were artificially relocated.

Few people come to the night ruins, except for the old man who seemed like an NPC just now.

Jiang Ye could even vaguely hear his own heartbeat while walking in it.

Hmm? Who's looking at me?

Jiang Ye turned his head and looked at a dark corner behind him. A pair of big green eyes lit up and walked out of the shadows. A big-headed cat with milky white fur and a gold coin on its head appeared in Jiang Ye's eyes.

"Meow~"

Sensing that there was something wrong with Jiang Ye's aura, he meowed and quietly disappeared around the corner of the ruins in two or three steps.

“Ha~ha~ha~!”

A man wearing a fluorescent patrol uniform with a Goth baby floating beside him was breathing heavily with his hands on his knees.

"Ha! Buddy, ha you, ha! Did you see, ha, a meow?"

The man saw Jiang Ye wearing a half-face mask, which looked a little suspicious, but what was there to steal in this empty relic with only a stone tablet with some words on it?

The man simply didn't take it seriously, thinking that maybe he was just a tourist who had heard some rumors and came here to try his luck at night.

It is more important to catch those stray Pokémon that always run into the ruins with some leftovers and make everything dirty and messy.

Jiang Ye didn't say anything, but just pointed to the corner where Miaomiao had just disappeared.

"Thanks, buddy!"

Before I could even calm down, the man and the Goth baby disappeared around the corner.

Jiang Ye's eyes and ears felt that silence had returned to normal again.

Jiang Ye walked in the seemingly monotonous corridor of the ruins, twisting and turning, until he reached a corner.

Not far away, the quiet moonlight squeezed into the dim light from one side, which was particularly eye-catching and bright.

When we arrived at the place where the moonlight was pouring down and looked outside, a huge square courtyard came into view.

The courtyard was flat and free of foreign objects, except for a huge platform in the center, which was engraved with countless dense and complex carvings. These carvings filled all the unwritten areas on the platform.

Walking to the platform, Jiang Ye looked at the notice on the side in the moonlight.

This is a large piece of Muen stone platform, inferred based on the remaining information in the ruins.

This tribe that believes in the Phoenix holds a martial arts competition during their annual sacrificial ceremony.

Let the strongest person of each year come to the platform and enjoy the greatest blessing given by the Phoenix.

Oh, by the way, the sign also says that this stone platform is a one-to-one replica of a display item and is connected to XXkw of high voltage electricity, so please do not touch it easily.

Looking around, this location...

Jiang Ye raised his head toward the sky and saw that not far away, a huge stone sculpture of a phoenix was emitting a faint red light, with a half moon hanging behind the bird's head.

Under the ethereal divinity bestowed by the moon, Jiang Ye felt that the huge stone sculpture of a phoenix seemed to come alive and flap its wings to fly!

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered. The moon was still the same moon, the stone sculpture was still the same stone sculpture, everything seemed like his sudden daze.

However, as the moon rose, Jiang Ye's eyes seemed to be stabbed, and a star-like light flickered on the phoenix's tail, which was the connection with the stone platform.

No way? Something good?

After taking a photo of the stone platform, Jiang Ye turned around and returned to the corridor.

Glancing at the tour map at the entrance of the courtyard, Jiang Ye was now right in front of the Phoenix stone sculpture, only two minutes' straight-line distance away from the sculpture.

But there is no road, so if you want to go to Phoenix Terrace, you can only walk in circles in a V shape, and finally reach the stone sculpture through the only entrance at the butt of the phoenix.

According to the above time estimate, Jiang Ye will arrive in an hour.

One hour?

Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows, thinking it was a waste of time. He turned around and walked into the courtyard. He looked up and looked around.

The design of this courtyard is that it has only one entrance and is surrounded by stone walls.

Coming to the stone wall directly opposite the Phoenix stone sculpture, Jiang Ye looked up at the four-meter-high stone wall, then turned around and retreated a suitable distance.

Jiang Ye took out the grappling hook gun and switched it to the wall-climbing mode, whoosh!

The flying hook shot out and bit the corner of the wall accurately. Jiang Ye relaxed his body and pressed the trigger again. A strong pulling feeling came from his hand. The corners of Jiang Ye's mouth curled up and he flew up.

With one last fierce somersault in the air, he landed on the stone wall with one hand.

I made the right choice by buying this grappling hook gun. I now feel that it is a great value for money.

Compared to the interior of the ruins which is cleaned regularly, the ceiling is a bit messy, and you can see some white hard and soft lumps stuck on it.

You can even see some strange food residues and some black lumps that look like stones but not like them.

Jiang Ye was fearless and moved forward straight ahead.

It would normally take an ordinary person a full hour to walk this distance, but with Jiang Ye's operation, it only took him three minutes to reach the wall opposite the phoenix stone sculpture.

With a heavy landing, a mature, steady, yet slightly sharp female voice sounded.

"Jiang Ye? Nice to meet you."
