Chapter Ninety-Four: The Long Past
Grandma nodded, made two cups of hot tea and placed them in front of the coffee table.
The two sat down on the sand, ready to listen to the story.
They picked up the teacup and took a sip of it decently, the old woman's eyes looked misty, and the memory seemed to go back to a relatively distant era.
"About 50 years ago, we were just children, and I was also a young and beautiful girl, and Mura, oh, it's the trainer of the Caulan Gym, everyone else calls him Flame Man Mula, he is an elite trainer specializing in flames, he just got the first Pokémon that year, and he has been called a genius since kindergarten, and he just got the Pokémon for less than a month, and that day he broke into the flame trail that connected the town of Puyan without the permission of the adults."
"That flame path has been known as a path possessed by fire demons since our time, as many people know, it may be inhabited by very powerful flame-type Pokémon, the land they live on is invaded by outsiders, usually so that the invading visitors have no return, too many trainers enter and do not come out in the end, this is not directly related to the Phantom Tower, but compared to it, the danger factor of the two is the same, and this is regarded as a forbidden area."
"We have a village name here a long time ago, called Yanluo Village, but because the big city has expanded too fast in recent years, in the end, even the village chief's family moved away, but only some barren house structures remain here, Mura learned about the situation here, said that he wanted to improve the ability of the Pokémon around him, so he applied to enter the flame path for cultivation, of course the village chief knows the horror inside, eating people without spitting out bones, adults may not be able to survive if they enter, let alone children... In the end, he couldn't promise on the surface that he wouldn't consider entering the cultivation, and secretly he found me, although our family was very famous in the local area at the time, but ah, it was not enough to see the prestige of the village chief, and I also got Pokémon at that time, because out of adolescent ignorance and curiosity, I entered the flame trail with him to start a spiritual journey..."
When the old woman said this, her voice trembled a little, and she held her cheek so that the negative emotions she tried to hide were not detected by others, but it was still a little too late, because her action happened to show the terrible nature of the flame path.
At that time, maybe something happened inside, and the two of you who were listening to it with a lot of fun You look at me, I look at you, and finally Natsume blinked, and continued to signal: "Then what happened later, what happened inside..."
"There is a labyrinth inside, we tied the rope on our body according to the method we thought before, and even if we were deep in the path after entering, even if we saw the rope, we could still return to the hole safely, just when we felt the world spinning, we thought we must be lost, and when we were about to return, we turned around and found that we had been going in circles all the time, but at that time we could all be sure that it was going straight to the depths, so the rope turned out to form a huge ellipse on the ground, and we were stupid, The end of the rope is not a hole, it is the source of containment, and it appears more than ten meters away, and there is no trace of cutting, just silent..."
"If that's the case, then there are two results, one is that the trail is a complex mobile labyrinth, and even as long as a person enters it, it will touch the mechanism in the fault, plus you were in that situation at the time, even if there was a slight shaking caused by the fault, you may not be able to feel it, and there is also a possibility that you have met a ghost, how is this possible..."
"You're right, in fact, we really met the ghost, I don't know what happened next, when I woke up, I was already cultivating at the Pokémon Center in Puyan Town, and I was forced to faint by the heat of the flames in the flame path, so that I was in a coma for half a month, and it took me nearly three months to recover at that time, and then I asked Mura what happened at that time, and he either denied the news in it, and sometimes told me that you should treat it as a bad memory and forget it." The old grandmother glanced at Natsume, smiled mysteriously, and continued to recall.
However, the story is over here.,Except for the weirdness of the maze.,There's no information for reference.,Quite vague intelligence information.,Maybe it's really old and can't remember the details.。
"That's all I know, about that Mura later became the Four Heavenly Kings in the local area, specializing in fire, because he was too old to stand the high pressure of work, he retreated to the front line, and then returned to Puyan Town to open the local Puyan Dao Gym." The old grandmother said.
"Is it really fire? In that case, I have a strategy, and I'll have to use a few of them. When Xuan Hui heard this, he immediately seemed ecstatic, because if it was a flame-type Pokémon, as long as the little saw crocodile could fight a little, it could at least consume the strength of one of them, so that no matter how much attrition war with the wheel was taken in the later stage, it would have a very efficient foreshadowing effect.
The wheel is also a strategy that is allowed to be adopted in the competition, although it is despicable and obscene, and it is much more decent to take the essence of winning than losing.
"Grandma, do you know anything else?" Natsume became interested in this and hurriedly asked for details.
"Oh, I was young at the time, and I'm in my sixties now, so the previous memories have long been forgotten, if there really is, I should still remember it, but since I went in, I often felt that someone was staring at you from behind, which was very weird, so I said that there were ghosts inside." Grandma frowned, she wanted to remember but because the timeline was too long, she couldn't even remember much, so she politely rejected the other party, and she even saw that the little brother was very interested in the flame path, and she could only dispel his thoughts, and couldn't continue, even if there was, she definitely couldn't say it.
"Hey, I think I have a problem with the Fire Trail, and I want to go and see if it's okay." Natsume smiled with interest.
"No, it's a forbidden area for trainers, you can't go, you'll die, you've heard me so much and don't know how terrible it is, what else do you think." Grandma's face suddenly became gloomy...
"Eh, I'll just talk about it, grandma, don't be angry, let's just go, okay, let's take a break and we'll take the cable roller coaster to Puyan Town, is this okay?" Natsume said, the old grandmother nodded with relief after hearing this, if it was because she talked too much and pit two children into entering there, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to one more family, and she killed two children at once, two families are a great sin?!
"Okay, it's right next to it, let's go over after a while, I've already contacted the people there, and soon a rope coaster will be recovered, just in time to send you there." The old grandmother took a breath rather helplessly, and then took a sip of tea very anxiously to calm down her emotions a little.
It didn't take long for the two to take their travel gear on their way after drinking tea.
Grandma didn't go out to see them go, but had already fallen asleep on the sofa, the elderly usually love to sleep at this age, and this is also a good opportunity, without her verbosity, it is easy to achieve the goal.
The two of them arrived at the intersection of the Flame Trail and smashed a stone into it, and the sound echoed quickly.
Xuan Hui suddenly thought of something, and immediately released the little saw crocodile and Iluredo, and ordered the little sawball to use a water gun.
Simply made a water helmet and put it on the heads of the two of them, which can avoid direct scorching by high temperatures, and in the process, Eluredo only needs to maintain the output of telekinesis, and the output time limit of ordinary telekinetic energy is 3 hours.
The Flame Trail doesn't have a three-hour path anyway, and they can run out.
Although the trail is hot, as long as there is a water helmet, at least it will not cause a strong feeling of vertigo, or even faint due to the heat.
"This method is good, we can avoid high temperature exposure, just in case, you can also attach such water helmets to yourself." At this, the little saw crocodile smiled, and then, with the help of Eluredo, the second pet put on a similar water coat.
The shape looked like it had swirls around it, and it looked much more ornate than their water helmets.
This is also a water coat, so the consumption of the two can also be reduced.
"Okay, let's go inside." Natsume said, and then he was ready to go in.
"Well, wait a minute, should we wrap a rope around our waists." Xuan Hui immediately came to propose, and after stopping this sentence on the other side, his face immediately sank.
"Haven't you heard? There is an incredible ability to interfere with affairs, and rope wrapping may not be useful, I don't think there is any need to do these small means, if there is a threat at that time, why not use the teleportation of Eluredo to return to the exit? Natsume explained very cleverly, and it seems that he has a lot of ideas...
"Alright, by the way, Eluredo remember the location here, and it's up to you to wait." Xuan Hui understood what was going on, and immediately signaled to Eluredo...
The two then entered the cave of the Flame Trail...
