"Boom ......"

The heavy stone door slowly opened.

Now that he has seen the core area of this ruin, combined with the records of relevant ancient books, Xiao Tian easily found the correct way to open the door, pressed the mechanism, and the stone door opened.

However, from Xiao Ye's point of view, Xiao Tian just touched the door.

Knowledge is power. Whether in his previous life or in this life, the illiterate Xiao Ye, who has zero mastery of skills in this area, sighed silently.

Walking through the stone gate, the eyes suddenly opened up. The scenery is completely different from the dark authentic style.

It is a valley surrounded by rocky mountains, and the clear water of the lake lingers at the valley floor, reflecting the reflection of green mountains and white clouds. On the shore of the lake, sparse vegetation dots the brown-yellow rocky landscape, and several insect Pokémon can be seen foraging among the grass.

In the middle of the lake, a tall stone pillar stands in it. On the platform at the top of the pillar stand several old stone tablets, which seem to record some words.

At the feet of Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian, there is a stone staircase leading directly to the stone platform, its texture is very rough, leaving obvious traces of artificial making, obviously not the product of modern science and technology.

Xiao Ye looked around and found that the surrounding mountains were very familiar, not far to the south of Zhenxin Town. It's just that no one has ever noticed that there is such a place between the slits of several mountains.

In other words, you can now climb over the mountains and return to Zhenxin Town at any time. Xiao Ye looked up at the sky. The sun had begun to move westward, and the hour was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it had been nearly eight hours since the early morning entered the ruins.

Although half of the events are used in random puzzles.

According to my father, the most dangerous traps are probably set up in the first few steps of the stone steps, and after correctly dealing with the traps in the starting part, there is no danger on this stone step. The silver-haired young man who had finished sorting out his thoughts looked up and was suddenly taken aback.

Xiao Ye, who was still beside him just now, had already walked a small half of the stone stairs at some point, and was trying to tap a loose stone slab under his feet.

“......”

Xiao Tian paused, and walked to Xiao Ye's side in three steps and two steps.

"There's nothing dangerous here. Xiao Ye walked leisurely, turning back and smiling at Xiao Tian.

“...... Well. Xiao Tian glanced at the steps behind him. I really didn't hear the sound of arrows being fired, maybe it was too old and the mechanism had rotted?

Xiao Ye walked, looked at the silver that fell on the grass below, and sighed secretly. Even if you use arrows, it's too much to shoot a steel needle like a rain of sprays...... Why did the makers of this ruin want outsiders to enter so much that they needed to set up such a deadly mechanism?

The stone staircase, which has been eroded by time, leads up to the sky. There are more than 100 steps, nearly 20 meters high, and on the opposite bank are words with a thick earthy smell from ancient times.

This stone ladder is not very long, but Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian are very cautious. Yan who followed at the end also seemed to feel something, and looked around vigilantly from time to time.

It turns out that the caution of Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian is not useless.

After walking to about fifty levels, the two of them sank at the same time. The tactile sensation of this trigger mechanism was all too familiar, and it was not the sound of the wind flying that struck the plane, but the tremor from the feet.

The entire stone staircase shook violently as if it were about to collapse, and the weathered rubble at the edge rolled down, and Xiao Ye and Xiao Tian were almost thrown down.

The position where the two of them were standing was already high from the ground, and if they fell, even if there was a lake below, they might not be safe, not to mention that they didn't know if there was a mechanism in the water, so they had to be more careful.

Seeing Xiao Ye's inquiring gaze, Xiao Tian shook his head. The information obtained from the ancient books was already all in the gate just now, and now this situation is not expected by Xiao Tian.

In other words, can you only adapt to the situation? Sayo looked at the platform in front of her, and it seemed that something was rising from the center of the trembling stone platform.

Just as he wanted to get up and take a closer look at the changes on the platform, Sayra's movements suddenly stopped.

"Get down!"

Xiao Tian, who was standing at the back of the position, didn't know what was going on, but when he heard Xiao Ye's hurried shout, he still reflexively leaned down.

A volley of arrows came from the front, grazing the hair on the top of their heads. Several swarthy holes were visible in the center of the stairs ahead.

Is the sound of arrows firing muffled? Xiao Tian frowned, and when he was in the midst of a noisy roar, it was really difficult to distinguish the faint wind sound produced by the arrows. If we continue to stand still, we can only sit back and wait, and we must act as soon as possible...... Well?

The flash of light that catches his eye catches Xiao Tian's eye. The strap of Sayo's backpack seemed to be slashed by an arrow and scattered, and a flickering white light was seeping out of the bag, becoming more and more dazzling.

Sayo also sensed the vibration coming from the backpack, but she was still a step too late. The flaming red Pokémon eggs rolled out of their bags with a violent tremor and fell towards the lake below.

Oops! Saya realizes that she forgot the unstable factor in her bag.

In the next second, Saya didn't hesitate to jump down the stone steps to protect the Pokémon egg. Although you won't break if you fall into the lake, there's no guarantee that there will be any dangerous traps below.

However, as soon as he took a step, Saya was grabbed by the wrist.

"Dangerous. Leave it to me. A deep, clear voice came into my ears.

The dazzling white light lit up from Xiao Tian's hand, followed by a blazing wind and a high-pitched dragon roar.

A huge red figure soared into the air, rolling up waves of heat, like a scorching fiery meteor speeding downward.

One of the first Pokémon in the Kanto region, the final evolution of the little fire dragon, the flame Pokémon Charizard.

Without Xiao Tian to speak, Charizard already knew what he had to do. Dive, the red dragon chases the falling Pokémon eggs and flies away.

Watching the mighty fire dragon swoop down, Xiao Ye withdrew his right foot, which was already hanging in mid-air, and smiled at the silver-haired boy who was frowning, "Thank you." ”

Needless to say, Charizard, which has the ability to fly, is much more reliable than Saya to retrieve Pokémon eggs. Xiao Ye stared down at Charizard flying with its wings outstretched. I didn't expect Xiao Tian to have such a powerful partner, no wonder Dr. Oki was relieved to let Xiao Tian, who was the same age as him, enter this dangerous ruin.

As it fell, the flickering light of the Pokémon eggs became brighter and brighter, and the subtle cracking sound coming from the eggshells was muffled by the howling wind.

When the flame-colored Pokémon Egg touches the lake, the brightness of the white light peaks. The light swirls and twists the surrounding air and water, forming a swirl-like form, as if gathering in the direction of the Pokémon Egg.

Then, the dazzling white turned into a dazzling golden red, and the flame-like brightness and blazing brilliance soared into the sky.
