Volume 3: The Gods of Hoenn Chapter 223 The Tower of Phantoms
Route 111 is a long, long north-south road in the Hoenn area, with a huge desert area in between. Sandstorms often occur in this desert area, causing great inconvenience to travelers and passers-by. However, this desert area has also become one of the popular attractions due to the occasional Tower of Illusions.
At this moment, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei are standing on the edge of the desert area of Route 111. When they looked at the yellow sand and the golden earth, the two tacitly put on their goggles. With the effect of goggles to block the wind and sand, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei dared to step into the desert area.
There is an area of quicksand in this desert area, and if you accidentally fall into the quicksand, it will be very difficult to get out. However, after stepping into the desert area, Wang Hao had already released the power of his waveguide, although the sandstorm had a certain blockage to the power of the waveguide, but it still allowed him to accurately judge some situations within ten meters of his body.
Of course, Wang Hao's waveguide power probed not only the surrounding situation, but also some underground conditions. Whether it is the pangolin rat or the king of the mountain shuttling in the sand; or the big-jawed ants and ultrasonic larvae that create small quicksand, all of which are clearly presented in Wang Hao's mind. He even spotted a round land shark swimming in the sand sea, which was a very rare Pokémon, but feeling the round land shark swimming freely, Wang Hao didn't plan to disturb him.
When Wang Hao ignored the round land shark and was about to move on, a vague outline of a tower like a phantom suddenly appeared in front of him and Xiao Wei. The shape of the tower is not like a minaret, but a very flat columnar structure. Although the two of them had already seen the outline of the tower, Wang Hao just couldn't detect its specific location through the power of the waveguide, as if the tower was far, far away from them.
Although it is rare that the power of the waveguide cannot be detected, it has happened in the past. Therefore, Wang Hao immediately collected the power of the waveguide that was released, and then moved towards the position of the tower along the direction of his line of sight. I don't know how long they walked, but the outline of the tower in front of Wang Hao and Xiao Wei was still like a phantom, vague, and it didn't change in any way because of their movements. This kind of endless walking caused great pressure in Wang Hao and Xiao Wei's hearts.
Even Serena Williams wondered if the blurred tower they saw was a mirage, but they still made their way towards the blurred tower. By the time both of them were exhausted, the tower's appearance was no longer blurry, and they could even see the entrance to the tower from a distance. The two of them spent the last bit of strength to finally reach the entrance of the tower.
"Wang Hao! Is this the Tower of Phantoms? Can you only see a silhouette in the distance, and you need to keep moving towards it until you are exhausted before you can see the lineup of this tower? It's so torturous! ”
"Judging by the structure of the tower and its apparition-like outline, this tower should be the Tower of Phantoms! It's just that I never thought it would take so long from seeing this tower to discovering the entrance! Let's take a break at this entrance! We don't know what will happen in the tower, but get ready to go in again! ”
Sitting at the entrance of the Tower of Phantoms, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei slowly took out the water source from their backpacks and drank it in a big gulp. At the same time, Wang Hao also tried to unleash the power of the waveguide again to explore the Phantom Tower. As a result, he still couldn't find out the situation in the tower, but Wang Hao found that not far from the place where they were resting, there was actually a group of round land sharks. Even Wang Hao found the round land shark that roamed the sand sea before. Wang Hao guessed that this group of round land sharks might be Pokémon living near the Tower of Phantoms, otherwise how could they appear here so coincidentally?
After some rest, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei officially stepped into the entrance of the Tower of Phantoms. As soon as they entered the Tower of Phantoms, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei felt as if they had stepped into another world. The noise of the wind and sand outside was all cut off by the tower, and it was so quiet that they could all mention each other's heavy breathing.
The interior of the Tower of Phantoms is relatively rudimentary, with empty stone walls except for stairs that allow you to ascend to higher floors. Occasionally, one or two Pokémon pop up on the ground as far as the eye can see, but it's still very rudimentary. Such a stone tower made Wang Hao and Xiao Wei feel a little disappointed, but it was only the first floor.
Maybe there's something unexpected about the higher floors? Wang Hao and Xiao Wei comforted themselves in their hearts almost at the same time. Then, the two of them entered the second level of the Tower of Phantoms through the stairs. It's just that the second floor is almost the same as the first floor, and it is empty except for the stairs to the higher floors. Even some of the floors are fragile, as if they could collapse at any moment.
"This Phantom Tower looks like a dangerous building no matter how you look at it, and it doesn't seem worth our hard work! Otherwise, let's withdraw and go directly to the Gym in Yanyan Town to challenge the Gym! ”
Serena Williams was already completely disappointed in this Phantom Tower, and it was indeed a little unacceptable to have two consecutive floors empty. However, Wang Hao felt that it was hard work, and it might be a pity not to finish the tower, so he still took Xiao Wei to the third floor.
When Wang Hao and Xiao Wei stepped onto the third level of the Phantom Tower, a young shadow followed them and also walked up to the third level. However, neither Wang Hao nor Xiao Wei noticed this shadow, and their attention was now all focused on the scene on the third layer. That's right, the third floor, like the two floors below, was empty, except for the stairs.
Looking at the third floor of the Phantom Tower, Wang Hao was already embarrassed to continue to pull Xiao Wei to a higher floor. After all, the possibility of something on the fourth floor or higher of a tower being empty for three floors in a row is too low and too low. However, just as Wang Hao and Xiao Wei were about to leave from the third floor, a loud roar came from the fourth floor, resounding throughout the Phantom Tower.
It was the roar of a heavy object, and something must have fallen onto the fourth floor. Wang Hao and Xiao Wei, who were just about to leave, immediately ran towards the fourth floor. Soon they saw the cause of the roar, which was caused by a telekinetic earth puppet with a black body, similar in appearance to a pottery puppet, and many eyes.
At this time, the telekinetic earth puppet was being blasted to the ground by three big wolf dogs, and it was in a dying state. Although Wang Hao didn't know why the three big wolf dogs wanted to besiege the Nianli puppet, he couldn't help but make a move when he looked at the appearance of the Nianli puppet. He immediately threw out a Poké Ball and released Lucario from it, and then commanded Lucario to quickly cut into the battlefield with great speed, and then used his enhanced fist to blast the three large wolfdogs away from the telekinetic puppet.
When the three big wolf dogs were blown away, three teenagers in khaki uniforms emerged from behind the telekinetic puppets. The one in the center looked at Lucario, then at Wang Hao and Xiao Wei, who were still at the staircase, and said disdainfully: "Where are the tourists?" This is not the place for you to be, get out of here now! Otherwise, you, Lucario, will end up like a telekinetic puppet, lying on the ground and gasping! ”。
Although this was said from the middle of the three, the other two were arrogant as if they agreed with him. Wang Hao and Xiao Wei didn't expect to encounter such a group of arrogant guys on the fourth floor of the Phantom Tower.
"Who are you? Why did you hurt the telekinesis here? ”
"We don't need to tell you who we are! You only need to know one thing, and that is that this place is already occupied by us, and no one is allowed to set foot without our permission. Get out of here before we get angry! Otherwise, we're welcome! ”
There was almost no way to communicate normally, and there was no way to get any information related to the fourth layer of the Phantom Tower from the mouths of these three guys, so Wang Hao and Xiao Wei decided to teach them a good lesson and rub their invincible attitude. Wang Hao quietly took out a Poké Ball from his back and released the Geng Ghost. Williams, on the other hand, throws a Poké Ball and releases the Blastoise.
Seeing that Wang Hao and Xiao Wei seemed to "toast and not eat and drink", the three teenagers in khaki uniforms respectively commanded their respective big wolf dogs to launch an attack on Lucario and Blastoise. The three large wolfdogs bared their teeth almost at the same time, and then two of them pounced on Lucario and one on the blastoise. It seems that he will not give up until he bites a piece of meat from Lucario and Blastoise.
In the face of such a ferocious biting attack, Wang Hao directly commanded Lucario to dodge with great speed, and then continued to use his enhanced fist to knock down the two big wolf dogs that pounced on him. And Xiao Wei directly commanded the Blastoise to bombard the big wolf dog in a straight line with a water cannon, killing him with one shot. The three large wolfdogs fell almost at the same time, much to the shock of the three teenagers. However, in the next second, they were no longer shocked, because they had been brought to sleep by the sudden sleepiness.
And this sudden sleepiness is, of course, from Wang Hao's Geng ghost. After Wang Hao secretly released the Geng Ghost, he immediately let it transfer the ability to perform a latent spirit surprise attack from his shadow behind the three teenagers, and then used hypnosis to completely put the three teenagers down.
fell into the hypnotism of Geng Ghost, and the three teenagers completely fell into Wang Hao's hands. Wang Hao didn't let Geng Ghost use the hypnotic control for a long time to unleash on these three teenagers again, the purpose of course was to find out what these three teenagers were here for?
