Chapter 220: Demon Fox Evolution (6.2k)

Be ready off the pitch and don't waste time on the pitch.

Although he knew that Shanaiduo used teleportation to move to the far end of the battlefield in order to delay the sandstorm, Jiang Pei also had to let the dragon gopher continue to maintain an offensive posture.

I'm already at a disadvantage, and if I have to look ahead, my chances of winning this battle will only get smaller and smaller.

"Dragon-headed gophers, rush over!"

Under Jiang Pei's resolute command, the dragon gopher in the sandstorm accelerated again.

I don't know if it's because of the weakening of the effect of the sandstorm, or because of the problem with the physical state, the speed of the dragon gopher is much lower than the previous two times.

The distance of about 20 meters took nearly three seconds.

And in these three seconds, Shanaiduo stood motionless.

Looking at Shanaiduo, who was getting closer to the dragon gopher, but was still indifferent, Jiang Pei felt suspicious in his heart.

Xia Chen is still not in command?

Whether it's magic fire or hypnosis, he is actually mentally prepared and has different ways to deal with it.

But Shanaido doesn't seem to want to do anything... I really can't fix Jiang Pei.

Do you want to repeat the old trick and then teleport to the other side of the battlefield to continue to delay time?

It's not out of the question.

Seeing that the dragon head gopher was only a few steps away from Shanaiduo, Jiang Pei couldn't care so much, and resolutely commanded: "The dragon head gopher, metal claws!"

At this moment, he had already thought of various countermeasures in his heart to deal with Shanaiduo's different reactions.

If it's magic flames, then take this damage, and if it's hypnotism, it's just right to replace it with hippopotamus to restart the sandstorm weather.

Everything was ready, Jiang Pei clenched the Poké Ball in his hand, ready to take back the dragon gopher at any time.

However, in the battle where the sandstorm gradually dissipated, the next scene that happened made him stunned.

…………

But seeing the dragon head gopher wielding a steel claw blade in front of him, Shanai Duo did not use any of the moves Jiang Pei imagined, but let the dragon head gopher's sharp metal claws slash across his body.

Jiang Pei was stunned, why didn't Shanaiduo resist at all, and didn't even use teleportation?

The teleportation distance just now is too far and the consumption is too great?

Jiang Pei had just risen in his heart, and he was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

In the next second, a faint black light suddenly lit up in Shanaiduo's eyes, interrupting all his fantasies.

It's black eyes!

Jiang Pei was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously raised the Poké Ball in his hand to take back the dragon head gopher.

But now, it's too late.

In order to let Jiang Pei lower his vigilance and have no time to react to do this, Shanaiduo even did not hesitate to let the metal claws of the dragon gopher attack him, and then released this black gaze.

Right now, the dragon gopher is contaminated with strange ghostly energy, which means that he will never be able to return to the Poké Ball until he loses his ability to fight.

What's even worse is that at the same time, the wind and sand on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the sandstorm weather ended completely.

Jiang Pei's heart was suddenly in turmoil.

It turned out that Xia Chen had already calculated that he would trap the dragon gopher with his black gaze when his sandstorm was over.

As a result, the hippopotamus will not be able to play, which means that you will either have to fight in non-sandstorm weather, or you will have to let the dragon gopher manually open the sandstorm...

Jiang Pei had a headache, because he didn't want to choose these two options.

Let's talk about the former first, without sandstorms, the characteristics of the dragon gopher will be useless, and without the suppression of speed, the threat of the dragon gopher will be reduced too much.

And the latter, the leading gopher in this state manually opens a sandstorm ...

You don't have to think about it to know that Shanaiduo is definitely hypnotic and dream-eating behind him, waiting for a set.

Jiang Pei rubbed his temples a little irritably, it seemed that he could only choose the less harmful first path.

Shanaiduo has eaten the dragon gopher

Two metal claws under the sword dance, plus the damage of the invisible rock and sandstorm when the Poké Ball just came out...

She's definitely not going to be in any better shape than a dragon gopher!

"Faucet gophers, metal claws!"

…………

The sharp steel blade lit up again, but this time, Shanaiduo dodged backwards in a fluttering shape, dodging the metal claw attack that was close at a distance.

Jiang Pei's heart sank, he didn't use teleportation, and he dodged with speed alone?

There may be an element of pre-reading, but this scene undoubtedly means that the dragon gopher has no advantage at all in terms of speed.

But that's not the only thing that scares him.

"Shanado, hypnosis!"

Over there, Xia Chen's long-lost command voice clearly came into his ears.

After dodging the metal claws, Shanaiduo, who used his superpower body to fly backwards out of thin air, suddenly lit up, and a transparent and invisible energy wave immediately hit the dragon gopher who was attacking with all his strength but neglected to defend.

His stocky body swayed twice like a tumbler, and then he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Sure enough, it's hypnosis!

Jiang Pei felt bitter in his heart, you didn't use my anti-hypnotism just now, and now I want to go all out to fight to the death, but at this time, I will have a hypnotism.

Xia Chen, you understand the psychological warfare...

If this was a game, Jiang Pei's state at this time should be that his hands were off the keyboard.

Command is useless, and it cannot be collected and recovered.

"Dragon-headed gophers, wake up!"

After the last stubborn rejuvenation roar failed, Jiang Pei could only watch as Shanaiduo used two Dream Eaters in a row, eating away at the last of the dragon gopher's physical strength.

Looking at Shanaiduo, who had been rescued from a dangerous state through eating dreams in a physical state, Jiang Pei retracted the dragon gopher that had lost its combat ability with a heavy heart.

He knew that he should not have a chance in this game.

The absolute main force has fallen, and the hippopotamus beast is in extremely poor condition, do you have to rely on a blind hand to turn over Xia Chen, who is in relatively good condition?

There is too little hope.

But even so, Jiang Pei could only change to Hudi, hoping for a miracle.

After all, if he loses this game, he will have to fall into the lower bracket to fight for the few dozen or so spots in the main event.

If the loser's group overturns again, the inheritors of the dignified Huangsha Dojo can't even enter the main competition of the Youth Competition, and their faces will be lost.

…………

Things do not turn out the way you want.

Hudi's arrival failed to create a miracle and turn the tide of the game.

Even, after defeating Shanaiduo, who had a huge energy loss, Hu Di immediately fell into Xianbu's hands.

This was especially true of the last hippopotamus, and after a steady loud sound connected to the high-speed stars, the number of defeats in this tournament was increased by one.

In this regard, Xia Chen defeated Jiang Pei, the inheritor of the Huangsha Dojo, without danger, and advanced to the main competition of this year's National Youth Trainer Competition.

[In view of the general environment,

After the battle, Xia Chen led the elves to the elf center of the Flowing Fire Arena.

This competition was different from the first two days of the relaxed and comfortable competition, Menas was not lightly injured, and Shanaiduo fought to the end, only Xianbu was still alive.

Sending the two seriously injured elves to Miss Qiao Yin, Xia Chen cleaned up the dust stuck to the fluff for Xianbu, and silently summarized the experience of this game in his heart.

Jiang Pei's strength is roughly between Hu Yang and Yin Yuan, so it is not easy to win this game.

Although it seems that it is indeed suppressed throughout the whole process, one of the important reasons is that Jiang Pei is not familiar with him.

On the contrary, Xia Chen, who has the "Shangda Think Tank" to provide information about his opponent, can have a relatively clear understanding and cognition of Jiang Pei before the battle.

In the following games, this kind of information gap is unlikely to occur.

In this battle, Xia Chen's style of play is the same as his three

Only the characteristics of the elves are exposed, and future opponents only need to study this game.

It can be said that the beginning of the main game is a confrontation of pure tactics and strength.

And according to the trend of previous years, the later the schedule, there will be more and more trainers like Jiang Pei who are particularly proficient in a certain tactical style of play.

They are also often the inheritors of the dojo or dojo, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Like Jiang Pei and Wang Ding of the Bingzhen Gym that I met today, they are not the strongest, and in the information given by the school, Lu Weiyu, the inheritor of the Yunze Gym, is the biggest favorite to win the championship in this competition.

It's quite a coincidence, she, like Xia Chen, is also from Zhijiang.

However, Xia Chen has not yet challenged the local Yunze Dao Gym, so the two have no previous battle experience.

If you want to win the championship, this Lu Weiyu is a fierce opponent that you have to face.

Thinking back to the information from the school, Xia Chen was thoughtful.

Is the Rainy Sky Team with the Giant Swamp Monster as the core?

…………

"The next match is a bit special, because one of the players is a traveling trainer from the Kanto region, named Crimson, and this is also the only player from the outer region to participate in this tournament, and in the first two matches, he only used two elves, Pikachu and Mosquito Coil, and his strength is extraordinary......

Xia Chen's thoughts were interrupted by familiar names coming from the TV hanging on the wall.

Crimson... Is his game about to start?

He turned his head to look at the TV, only to see the familiar figure in the red and white training uniform standing quietly on the edge of the battlefield, with a yellow-skinned mouse squatting on his shoulder.

There were many games in the first two days, and he was in a hurry, Xia Chen didn't watch the battle of Crimson, and today he has a chance, just to see what Crimson's strength is now.

Holding Xianbu on her lap and continuing to comb her, Xia Chen looked up and watched the live broadcast of the game in Group A.

Crimson's opponent was a student of Huangdong University, and it seemed that he knew that his strength was most likely inferior to those apprentices in the Daoist Dojo.

But Huangdong University is also one of the top three universities in Donghuang, and it is enough as a touchstone for red.

Xia Chen originally thought so, but in fact, in this game, Crimson still ended the game without sending his third elf.

In fact, the opponent's strength is really not weak, but in the face of the skin god who did not start, the gap is a little big.

Pikachu was very real throughout the whole process, and the mosquito coil singer was also a world of difference compared to more than a year ago, but in just over five minutes, Crimson easily won the ticket to the main event with a score of 3:0.

"It's him..."

Xia Chen sighed softly, and casually kneaded the cloth wool from the comb into a hair ball and played with it in his hand.

"Booy!"

Xianbu didn't have much idea about Crimson's growth, but he had a lot of opinions about Xia Chen's play with her hair, and stretched out the silk to snatch back the hair ball that had just left his body.

Xia Chen ignored her and continued to think about the red thing.

The strength of that mosquito coil is good, it doesn't seem to have reached the elite level, although the growth rate is already terrifying compared to ordinary elves, but compared to the fairy cloth, it is still a little insufficient.

But that Pikachu's strength is a bit outrageous... Xia Chen didn't dare to make a conclusion about Pi Shen, he could only say that he couldn't figure it out.

In addition to the two known elves, it is also a mystery who Crimson's last main elf is currently...

Kirbymon? Wonderful Frog Flower? Or Charizard?

The answer to this question may only be revealed when he encounters a stronger opponent.

…………

After the red battle was over, Xia Chen didn't pay much attention to the rest of the game.

If you have this time, you might as well temporarily hug and improve yourself with the elves.

So, after the qualifiers were completely over, Xia Chen learned that three of the ten people from Shanghai University who came with him on this trip had been eliminated.

The 70% promotion rate is definitely an astronomical figure for other schools, but for the University of Shanghai, it can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

The three eliminated did not have much intention of staying in Funan, and as soon as the qualifiers ended, they flew back to Beijing overnight.

Although the elimination may not be a matter of strength, it may be that the signing is too poor, but the young at this age has the best face.

Everyone came out of the same school, you advanced to the last game, I cheered off the stage... Who can stand this?

Xia Chen didn't care about others, he was studying his next schedule.

From the first game of the main competition, the whole tournament is a standard cup single-elimination system.

That is, the kind of competition system that is divided into two halves, and you can clearly draw your own promotion route with a matchup chart.

As in the final round of the upper bracket, Xia Chen is in the bottom half of the division, and Hu Yang and Crimson are in the top half.

So unless it's the final, I shouldn't have a chance to play against them in this tournament.

But the bad news is that the two favorites to win the championship, Lu Weiyu and Bai Mu, are both in the same lower half of the division.

Judging from the schedule of the matchup, Xia Chen will not meet them too early, leaving some time for himself, or Zoroya, to evolve.

I hope the little fox can evolve soon...

——————

Spiritual realm.

The sky was still gray, with no sun, moon or stars, as if the whole world had no concept of time.

But for the vast majority of beings in the spirit realm, time is indeed a meaningless thing.

Drifting unconsciously, surviving in a muddle, what sustains their existence may be existence itself.

But there are not only such unconscious remnant souls in the spirit world, and there is a reason for raising Gu, there are always a few "Gu Kings" who have devoured enough other remnant souls and gradually regained their self-consciousness.

At this moment, the remnant soul in front of Zoroa, whose appearance was almost indistinguishable from that of an ordinary dream demon, was obviously one of them.

A month ago, when Zoroya first saw this dream demon remnant, she was shocked.

At first glance, Zoroa thought that besides himself, there were other living elves in the spirit world.

After careful observation, she was sure that this was still an elven revenant without the breath of life.

But how did it go from being a remnant to this?

Could it be that the dream demon itself is a ghost-type elf, so such a change has occurred?

There are so many unsolved mysteries in the spirit world that Zoroa can only guess by himself.

She didn't know how this revenant became like this, but Zoroa had a faint feeling that the soul fragment of this dream demon revenant would give her a very big surprise.

So, since a month ago, Zoroa has tried to attack this dream demon revenant.

The Dream Demon was much more difficult to deal with than she had originally thought, because it already possessed an important thing, wisdom.

Therefore, Zoroa temporarily named the revenant soul like the Dream Demon as the Wisdom Species.

Although the wisdom of the wisdom species is not even comparable to that of normal elves who have not yet escaped the juvenile stage, it is already a leap forward compared to those ordinary remnant souls who can't even Abba Aba.

With his initial intelligence, coupled with the strength of at least two elite-level stars, Zoroa could hardly pose any threat to this intelligent species at first.

Fortunately, Zoroa has the ability to freely shuttle between the two realms, and he is not good at anything else, but he is best at protracted battles.

After a full month of high-intensity tug-of-war, today, it is finally time to close the net.

In the barren land, the shadows that stretched out from Zoroa's feet continued to lengthen, and the eerie ghost hand suddenly burrowed into the dream demon's body from the shadow.

The last straw was pressed, and the dream demon who had been tortured for a month was scattered, and finally got free.

Only a crystal emitting a glowing purple light remained, floating quietly in mid-air.

…………

In the gray mist space, there are still only two lifeforms, Zoroa and the Tree of Souls.

After a year of irrigation, although there was no fourth branch on the tree that represented the new ability, the sapling, which was about the same height as Zoroa, had grown to nearly two meters.

With the beautiful purple crystal in his mouth that he didn't know if he could call [Soul Fragment], Zoroa put it into the familiar branch in the middle, and reaped it in the dark.

Sprouting, flowering, fruiting, and in a few moments, a fruit with a deep purple sheen bore on the branch.

Picking it off with ease, Zoroa searched for information about this extraordinarily sweet and enticing fruit.

[Dream Demon Soul Fruit]: After eating, you can obtain some of the abilities of the Dream Demon.

Looking at the information displayed on this special fruit that had never been seen before, Zoroa's eyes widened in surprise.

Is this the fruit of the soul crystals of the "Wisdom Seed"?

After eating, you can gain some abilities...

What is partial ability?

A move, a basic ability?

It can't be a dream demon, right?

The unclear introduction bothered Zoroa a little, this thing... Are you sure it won't get weird after eating it?

But if you don't eat it yourself, you can't waste it, or let other more inappropriate partners, even Xia Chen, eat it, right?

What if Xia Chen becomes a ghost?

Wait, do you become a ghost like yourself... When you think about it, this doesn't seem like a bad thing.

Forget it, this kind of thinking can only be thought about in the heart.

If it comes true, not to mention Xia Chen, Xianbu and Shanaiduo will definitely not spare themselves.

Putting away the delusions, Zoroa decided to bring the fruit back to reality to eat.

Anyway, now that Xia Chen and the other partners also know about the existence of the fruit, there is nothing to betray this kind of thing.

And if there is really something unexpected about eating this strange fruit, Xia Chen can find out in time.

With a thought, Zoroa returned to the real world.

…………

The cooing clock on the wall ticked, and Zoroa glanced up, it was still nine o'clock in the evening, the same time she had entered the gray mist space.

Since sharing the secret with his friends, Zoroa has adjusted his daily time to enter the spirit realm from late night to night.

At the end of this time, after healing, take a bath and rest for a while, and sleep the most soundly.

But the first thing she did when she came out today was not to heal, she looked around.

In the room, Xia Chen sat in front of the computer, studying the opponent's information while writing something in the notebook.

Senbu and Shanaiduo seem to be still preparing for tomorrow's game and are not in the room.

But it doesn't matter, just have Xia Chen here.

Thinking so, Zoroa took out the dream demon fruit that had just been produced and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

Like all the fruits that have been eaten before, this one has no taste and is purely a fluid of some kind of energy.

Zoroya could feel that, in addition to the extremely pure ghostly energy, there was also a very special strange energy flowing through the juice in his body.

The two energies were intertwined and flowed through his body, and Zoroya's body had a wonderful feeling, if I had to describe it in one word, it was Run.

In the past, she always heard Xia Chen say something like "very moist", but today she finally understands what it feels like to run.

Not... It's so comfortable that my head is a little dizzy...

Zoroa closed her eyes comfortably, but she didn't notice that the surface of her body was emitting bursts of white light that she had been waiting for...

…………

It took two whole days, and Xia Chen finally sorted out the information of the opponents he was most likely to encounter on the promotion route the night before the start of the main competition, and got all the countermeasures one by one.

Even with superpowers, this kind of work is not easy.

In order to improve his concentration and efficiency, Xia Chen locked himself in a shallow meditation state, so that he could concentrate on the work in front of him.

At this moment, I realized that I was thirsty and hungry now.

Stretching out with relief, Xia Chen beckoned, "Shanaiduo, cut some fruit for me."

The little padded jacket has grown up, isn't it just to do something for himself!

Otherwise, what would you do with your daughter?

After the silent footsteps, the sound of closing the door sounded, it should be Shanaiduo who went out to cut fruit.

Xia Chen opened the P station after a long absence, ready to see the cute elves posted by other trainers to reward himself.

Not... Miss Mary's Molubeck and her smile are so cute!

I'm going to join the Shouting Team too!

Mingyi has updated a new video again, take a look...

Well... How do you feel like you've grown up a little bit more...

I'll go, how can there be such a durable shell-breaking cute magic mask meow!

Xia Chen was obsessed with cute elves and cuteness and couldn't extricate himself, and suddenly, a pair of hands surrounded him from behind him and blindfolded him.

Is it playing a guessing elf game, when did Shanaido become so naïve?

Even though he thought so, Xia Chen still pretended to guess, "It's Xianbu, right?"

To play with childish ghosts, you must first integrate into them and show that you are very mentally retarded.

There was silence behind him.

Xia Chen pretended to realize suddenly, "It's Shanaiduo, right?"

There was still no sound behind him.

Xia Chen said helplessly: "Okay, Shanaiduo, don't make trouble, you have a hand at home."

The black shadow that blocked his eyes still didn't let go.

There was no way, Xia Chen could only get started by himself.

Putting his hand on the hand of "Shanaiduo", Xia Chen just wanted to remove her hand, but he was stunned to find that "Shanaiduo" suddenly grew hair.

Wait, this touch, won't be...

Xia Chen reluctantly turned his head and opened his mouth to say the quintessence of the country.

"it!"
