Chapter 43: The Fourth Layer of Weakness

If Aoyagi knew that Xiao Siong had the idea of clearing the fourth and fifth floors for him, or even rivaling Sirona, he would be happy for this trust.

But now he doesn't know, and he doesn't have time to think about it.

"Agumon, did you notice anything that wasn't quite right?"

Aoyagi was standing in the monitoring corner of the passage from the third floor to the fourth floor, and asked the Agumon who had just come out of the Poké Ball next to him.

The Agumon closed its eyes, took a few breaths through its nose, and replied, "I don't feel anything except an uncomfortable breath in the air." ”

"Is it the same result......

Aoyagi looked at the virtual panel in front of him and frowned.

Whether it is the intuitive feeling or the information explored on the panel, it is no different from what Agumon said.

Aside from the strange smell in the air, there was no difference between the fourth layer and the three layers that had already passed.

The same cold cemetery atmosphere, the same not very well-lit environment, and the same with a few Pokémon guarding.

But the voice just now was indeed coming from the fourth layer, and he shouldn't have heard it wrong at such a close distance.

Since he doesn't feel like there's a problem, what's the problem?

No one has been able to answer this question.

However, there is nothing but humans here...... And Pokémon.

Aoyagi set his eyes on the three Pokémon guarding the fourth layer in the shadows of the corner.

Their information is displayed on the panel.

The mouth is large and the teeth are sharp enough to bite through hard skin, and they have evolved specifically to suck blood.

It will actively attack humans and Pokémon in the dark, and will sometimes give up flying in favor of small and agile legs to quickly approach the target.

……

Extremely weak?

Aoyagi's gaze quickly swept over all the information on the panel, and finally settled on the status bar showing that the two Dream Demons and a Largemouth Bat were both "extremely weak".

What happened to make them this state?

Or is it who made them like this?

"I haven't heard of any trainers other than Shirona and myself who have reached the fourth level."

And there have been people guarding and protecting the Lost Tower outside, so it shouldn't be possible that someone directly crossed the first three floors and ran to the fourth floor to beat the Pokémon Guardian.

Isn't it good for someone with this ability to hit directly from the first layer?

But now it has indeed happened that the Pokémon state of the first three layers are all normal, but the Pokémon of the fourth layer are extremely weak.

Aoyagi felt more and more in his heart that the voices he had heard on the third layer before were the culprits of these things.

But after I came up, I didn't find any clues, or did "it" go upstairs?

Aoyagi looked up at the ceiling.

It was at this time that a loud noise sounded overhead again......

Boom!

Boom!!

Ji!!!

"This time the sound is louder and clearer than what I heard on the third floor before, and if I heard it correctly, there is a Pokémon roaring in the middle."

Aoyagi waited quietly for a few seconds, and then the sound faded again.

But that's enough, at least to be sure that the guy who "made the noise" is on the fifth floor.

I don't know how "it" got in, but after the fifth floor, there is no sixth floor, and it is impossible to leave quietly.

In other words, as long as you go one level further, you will be able to determine the identity of the other party.

But for now, maybe there's a better way.

If you want to know everything about something, the best way to do it is to ask the person you are talking about.

"Agumon, you can understand all those Pokémon you encounter on the lower three floors, right?"

"Yes."

"So, please go over and ask them now, what happened just now, it would be better if you could know the specific information of the other party."

Aoyagi said, pointing to the three weak Pokémon hiding in the shadows on the opposite side.

If you can know what happened from the mouths of the three parties and the victim, and whether the other party is a human or a Pokémon, it will avoid the possibility that he may encounter the other party and then be in danger, and the safety factor will be pulled to the maximum.

The Agumon also understood, and immediately ran over, and began to ask questions one by one.

Maybe it was because it didn't have the strength, or maybe it was because it saw that the Agumon didn't mean to fight, and the three Pokémon such as the Bigmouth Bat didn't attack, and they didn't even move when they stayed in place, and they didn't even open their mouths.

Of course, there was no audible answer to Agumon's question.

It was only when Agumon mentioned the other party's information that the three Pokémon seemed to think of something that scared them, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, which eventually caused Agumon to eat three closed doors in a row.

"Aoyagi, they seem to be a little frightened."

"Forget it, it was supposed to be an attempt, and since that's the case, it's up to us."

Aoyagi then led the Agumon towards the passage to the fifth floor.

But to Aoyagi's great surprise, their way forward was quickly blocked.

Looking at the large-mouthed bat and the two dream demons that appeared in front of him and blocked the way, Aoyagi frowned and said, "Although it is your task to guard the passage, you can't exert much combat power in your current state, even so, is it still necessary to fight?" ”

Neither the Large-Mouthed Bat nor the Dream Demon spoke, but their eyes were resolutely blocked in front of Aoyagi and Agumon, and they did not mean to get out of the way.

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Aoyagi decided to let the Agumon fight.
