Volume 2: Trial of the City Chapter 196 The Orb of Fire in the Magma
Wang Hao and the combined waveguide power of Lucario and Pokkiss formed a huge exploration network, almost one-third of the Fire Island was in their exploration range, but they also quickly discovered some anomalies in the Fire Island, almost the entire Fire Island did not have any vegetation growth, all of them were rocks. Even, Wang Hao didn't even find a place to supply, which means that they could only rely on what they carried to get through the three days, which was a huge challenge.
Although because of the game system, it doesn't matter if players don't eat or rest, but Pokémon is different, any abnormal state and health weakening will make them in a state of frequent death, and there are no materials to recover, if there is not even a Pokémon center, then it will be a huge test.
Wang Hao and Xiao Wei immediately counted the materials in their respective backpacks, and they found that the recovery potions they brought were still a little small, and if there were frequent battles in the future, it might not last for three days. So, they set a three-day survival agreement, which is to minimize the number of battles. If you encounter a situation where you have to fight, then it is also a quick solution.
After reaching this consensus, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei continued to move towards the location of the volcano. The volcano is the center of the entire Fire Island, and when he arrives there, Wang Hao can almost grasp the situation of the entire Fire Island through the power of the waveguide. So, the two of them quickly moved there.
Just as Wang Hao and Xiao Wei began to run towards the volcano, some figures broke into Wang Hao's waveguide exploration range. These figures are basically the same as Serena Williams, who predicted early on that veteran players would attack at the ferry and avoid other players. Although the speed of their dodge was not as fast as Wang Hao's, it could be regarded as completely getting rid of the crisis of the ferry.
None of these players who escaped from the ferry dared to stop near the ferry, and everyone was moving. Although only a very small number of these players have the same goal as Wang Hao and Xiao Wei, Wang Hao still pays close attention to their movements. Although the scope of waveguide detection is limited, as long as they can move reasonably within this limited range, the possibility of Wang Hao and Xiao Wei being discovered or caught up by others is almost zero.
Of course, Wang Hao's main focus is on the players who share their goals, because these players may become the first wave of opponents of Wang Hao and Xiao Wei in the future. However, by the time Wang Hao and Serena Williams reached the foot of the volcano, no other players had followed them. So, they climbed the mountain with confidence.
The central volcano of the Fire Island occupies almost half of the entire Fire Island, and Wang Hao discovered that this central volcano is actually a real active volcano through the power of waveguides, but it is now dormant. Seeing that the magma in the volcano was still bubbling, Wang Hao had already begun to feel hot.
Suddenly, as the direction of the waveguide's exploration continued to deepen, Wang Hao seemed to have discovered something strange. It was in the midst of the magma, shimmering with fiery red, like a small flame burning. The fiery red rocks, the burning flames, and the material like glass balls, aren't this the orbs of fire that Wang Hao and the others are looking for?
The Orb of Fire is actually in the magma? How do you get this? What Pokémon can stand the heat of lava? Even fire-type Pokémon are not something that anyone can bear! Wang Hao immediately told Xiao Wei about his discovery! Xiao Wei was also completely stunned after hearing this, it was in the magma, not an ordinary small fire!
First of all, no matter how to take out the Orb of Fire from the magma, how to enter this magma is a huge problem for Wang Hao and them now. Can we only go to the crater first to see if there is a place to go down? This is the only way that Wang Hao and Xiao Wei can think of at the moment.
When Wang Hao walked halfway up the mountain, he discovered through the power of the waveguide that there was an altar made of rocks in the crater, similar to the altar in the shrine of the island of Polarasia. Next to the altar stood a stone tablet that roughly read: "Altar of Fire, Awaken the Sleeping Orb with the Power of Fire!" ”。
The power of fire? What exactly is the power of fire? Wang Hao and Xiao Wei don't know, but they decide to go there to have a look, because literally, the altar must be related to the Orb of Fire, and it probably doesn't need to go deep into the magma to get the Orb of Fire. But what does this power of fire refer to?
If it refers to fire-attribute Pokémon, then it is a tricky problem for Wang Hao and Xiao Wei, because none of the Pokémon in the hands of the two are fire-type! And if this fire power does not refer to an attribute, but to a fire power, then it may be replaced by a fire attribute skill.
For Wang Hao and Xiao Wei, who don't have a fire attribute Pokémon, they naturally hope that this power of fire refers to the power of fire, but what is the truth? They can only be verified when they reach the Altar of Fire. Without any hesitation, the two immediately rushed to the so-called altar of fire, and Williams also released his fossil pterosaur.
When the two of them arrived at the Altar of Fire, Williams first had the Fossil Pterodactyl cast his skills on the altar, spraying flames. This is the only Pokémon among all Serena Williams that has a fire-type skill, but no matter how the fossil pterosaur casts a jet of flame, the altar does not react in the slightest. This also proves that the power of fire written on the stele does not refer to fire-attribute skills. Then the rest may be fire-attribute Pokémon, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei can only watch and watch the Orb of Fire and can't get it?
"Alas! I knew that I needed a fire-type Pokémon, so I replaced one on my body when I was on the island of Asia! What should I do now? Have the other players already started making their way towards the volcano? ”
"How can you know so much earlier? And even if other players come here, they don't necessarily have a Pokémon with the fire attribute on their bodies. Also, it's hard to say whether this fire power refers to a fire-type Pokémon or not! Sooner or later, other players will come here, so let's just hide nearby! If someone can trigger the altar to get the Orb of Fire in their hands, then we'll just come out and grab it! ”
Listening to Wang Hao, Xiao Wei could only nod helplessly. Although the power of fire does not necessarily refer to a fire-type Pokémon, this possibility is currently the highest. Now they're left to be broken! Wang Hao and Xiao Wei quickly found a hidden place near the altar to hide, because Wang Hao's wave guide power was used to investigate, so even if other players came to the altar, they could find it immediately.
In this way, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei waited near the altar for an hour, only to find that a player had moved towards the position of the altar and was approaching the altar step by step. Wang Hao and Xiao Wei didn't rush out immediately, but let the player walk to the altar. After checking the text on the stele, the player retrieved a Poké Ball from his backpack and released a platypus from it.
When they saw the platypus beast, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei couldn't help but get nervous. If this platypus can trigger the effect of the altar, then the Orb of Fire will appear! I saw the platypus slowly walk up to the altar, and then stand in the center of the altar. At this point, the altar still didn't react, so the player commanded the platypus to unleash a flaming punch on the altar's ground.
The fist wrapped in scorching flames slammed into the altar of fire, and in that moment, the entire altar seemed to come to life, and scorching flames erupted to envelop the platypus beast in it. At the same time, there came out of the crater with one violent roar after another, as if something was about to emerge from the crater. It didn't take long for a fiery red glass bead to fly out of the crater and head straight for the platypus beast wrapped in the flames of the altar.
The moment they saw the orb flying out, Wang Hao and Xiao Wei took action! First, Serena Williams unleashes the Blastoise and causes the Blastoise to bombard the altar's flames and platypus with a water cannon attack. The moment the water cannon came into contact with the flames, the mist filled the air, obscuring the view of the entire altar. And Wang Hao took advantage of the mist to block his vision, and immediately used the power of the waveguide to lock the location of the Orb of Fire, and informed Shanaiduo of the location, so that Shanaiduo teleported over there and grabbed the Orb of Fire.
At the moment when the mist obscured the view of the altar, the platypus player had already realized that it was not good, and he quickly took out another Poké Ball and released another Pokémon Dabi. The moment Dabitori appeared, he unleashed a storm on the altar, blowing away all the mist. But after all, it was still a little late, and the Orb of Fire had already been handed over to Wang Hao by Shanaiduo.
"Who is it? It's too unkind! It took me a long time to get the Orb of Fire to appear, and you cut off your beard like this? Don't hide if you have the ability, defeat me with dignity! Like a rat in a stinky gutter, it will only steal! ”
The platypus beast player's agitated words actually didn't have any effect on Wang Hao, he and Xiao Wei secretly attacked, and didn't let the player discover his appearance during the whole process. All they had to do was use Shanaido's teleportation to disappear here in no time, and no matter how good this player was, it would be impossible to find them again.
Just when Wang Hao was about to let Xiao Wei leave with him, Xiao Wei suddenly said: "You can't keep him, otherwise it will be equivalent to telling others that the Fire Orb is already in the player's hands, and then it will be a lot more troublesome for us to hide in the future!" If he doesn't go out and leak the news, then when other players come here, even if they can't trigger the altar, they may think that the method on the stone tablet is wrong, or their own trigger method is wrong! This will buy us more time and make our three days a little easier! ”。
