Chapter Eighty-Four: How Can the Scholar's Business Be Called Water?
Carlos area, White Sandalwood City, underground ruins.
"Hey, we're in trouble now, let's get to know each other officially."
The inch-headed boy wearing only a black vest stopped, turned around, and looked at the single-ponytailed girl who followed him through the warm glimmer of a cane made of flame orbs.
The scepter was found by Takuto along the way, where a number of walking sticks were neatly arranged for illumination.
Flame Orbs are precious beads that emit heat and shimmer, and some of the purest Orbs may even burn people when touched, which were used for lighting and heating in ancient times.
In modern times, the Flame Orb has been developed for other functions, that is, as a prop used in Pokemon battles.
Pokemon carrying a Flame Orb will fall into a negative state of Burn after appearance.
Generally, it is carried by a pokemon with perseverance characteristics to increase the effect of physical attack.
"My name is Fist Takuto, I'm from Gujie City in the CD region, and I'm currently traveling with the goal of the Carlos Alliance Conference."
The girl looked at Takuto with a serious face by the faint light, and she didn't know what she was thinking, her brown eyes were a little distracted, and she didn't even notice Takuto's outstretched hand.
"I already know that your name is Mo Shang Ziyu, what are you doing at home? What about your parents? Why do you want to do such a thing as stealing? ”
Slightly embarrassed to withdraw his hand, Tuodou scratched his head, and continued to ask with perseverance.
"Why did you save me before?"
"What?"
Mo Shang Ziyu's answer to the question made Tutuodou not react for a moment.
"Just before, I accidentally stepped on that trap, why did you save me?"
Mo Shang Ziyu stubbornly repeated the question that had plagued her all the way.
Obviously he stole his Poké Ball, didn't a trainer like him value his Pokemon more than anything else? He must have hated himself to death, so why did he come to save himself?
"Because I am a martial artist, it is my responsibility to help the weak."
"Huh? Weak? Are you looking down on women? ”
"I don't mean to look down on you, I mean, whoever is in danger, as long as it's someone in need, then they should lend a hand, right?"
"Of course not, if someone else steals something from me, then I must wish that person would die immediately! Although, no one in this world can steal my stuff! ”
"It's a mistake to steal something, but it's not a crime to death......." Takuto's expression was obviously a little strange when he said this, as if something was wrong?
"How is it that sin does not lead to death? What if you steal someone's most precious thing? What if you steal someone's life-saving money? ”
“......”
Takuto finally knew that something was wrong, and the female thief in front of him was actually indignantly saying how unforgivable it was to be a thief, and he was still persuading this guy who stole his own things?
"How? Do you now feel that the guy who stole his own things is simply unforgivable? ”
Mo Shang Ziyu glanced at the silent Tutuo triumphantly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned with excitement, as if she was very happy to win Tuob.
“...... Now that you know how sinful this is, give me back my Poké Balls! ”
“......”
The expression of excitement suddenly converged, and the girl's face instantly became expressionless, and she didn't even look at Tuodou, and continued to walk forward by bypassing him.
In the direction that Tuodou couldn't see, Mo Shang Ziyu only felt that there was smoke on the top of his head, his face became red, hot, and the roots of his ears became red.
Ahhhh Looks like you're going to bring yourself to justice?
"Hey, how the hell did you give me back the Poké Ball?"
Seeing that Mo Shangziyu's face suddenly turned cold, Tuodou was a little baffled, but he still asked.
"You're annoyed! I've said that what I have in my hands is not ......."
Hearing that this guy in the back didn't even open the pot, Mo Shang Ziyu was talking angrily, suddenly, her body stiffened, and her words stopped abruptly.
The experience of traveling south and north over the years has made her feel a breath, an unkind breath.
Not only her, but almost at the same time, Takuto also felt the unkind aura from his surroundings.
The two of them don't know when, but they have actually walked to a relatively empty area, although it is empty, but it is only relative.
Mo Shang Ziyu looked around with the corner of her eye, not daring to make a sound, she was horrified to find that there were a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the surrounding rock walls.
Like a terrible ghost asking for his life, in this pitch-black environment, these blood-colored eyes looked extremely terrifying.
"Click-"
Mo Shang Ziyu couldn't help but take a step back, and a pair of slender hands tightly grabbed Tuodou's thick and sturdy arms beside him.
Takuto could clearly feel how nervous the girl next to him was now, because his arm hurt so much now, and Mo Shang Ziyu grabbed it even tighter under the nervousness, and even the slender nails sank into his flesh.
"Roar——!!!
It seemed that the sound of Mo Shang Ziyu stimulated those things hidden in the darkness, and the many roars shook the eardrums of the two of them, and they felt like they were going to be deaf.
Even some of the stalactites hanging down around here couldn't withstand the shock of the sound wave, and with the sound of shattering, the sharp cones fell.
"Get out of the way!"
Tuodou suddenly pushed the girl away, and at the same time he used force under his feet and jumped to the other side, and at the moment when the two jumped away, a stone cone fell there and fell into the ground for three points!
It is conceivable that if they hadn't dodged just now, the two would have been smashed into pulp!
Tumbling on the ground, Tuodou jumped up and jumped up, but before he could stand firmly, he jumped again, and avoided a falling stone cone.
Takuto ran fast in this limited space, dodging the falling stone cones.
Holding the Flame Orb Staff in one hand, he took out a spare Fire Orb Staff from his backpack with the other hand and threw it to the girl who was also dodging around.
Takuto found that the girl's skills were very nimble and very skillful, unlike himself, who only relied on simple burst speed to avoid these stone cones.
Mo Shang Ziyu was able to avoid the falling stone cone with the smallest movement every time, compared to him, but he didn't know how much physical strength he saved.
Jumping up lightly, Mo Shang Ziyu accurately took the cane thrown by Tuodou, and avoided a sharp stone cone with a slight leap, and with the light of the flame orb, it was easier for her to dodge.
The deafening roar subsided, and the cone stopped falling, but instead of getting better, it got worse.
The two panting men leaned back to each other at some point, and only the gasps of the other could be heard in the silent space.
His expression became extremely solemn and looked around, surrounding the two of them, and dozens of pairs of blood-colored eyes slowly approached......
