NIP Chapter 165 Entering the Secret Realm, First Battle Against the Boss!
Chapter 165 Entering the Secret Realm, First Battle Against the Boss!
The clock struck eight, and everyone was ready.
Liu Bai, Chen Moxuan, and Master Liu all stepped aside and nodded to the crowd.
"Fellow colleagues, please enter the secret realm."
In an instant, most of the trainers present rushed in.
Enter early for a chance to win!
Li Luochen, Pai Pa, and Chen Wenxuan, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed.
They waited until most of the trainers had left before entering the secret realm.
This secret realm will be temporarily named "Eternal Secret Realm".
The scenery there was quite strange.
Overgrown with weeds, it was a desolate wasteland.
The ancient trees, towering and gnarled, block out the sun.
Looking into the depths of the valley, thick, dark clouds surged endlessly in the sky above, while below lay a land ravaged by thunderstorms.
Lightning flashed and roared incessantly.
Clearly, it is a dangerous place.
"Brother Wenxuan, what is your approximate strength?"
All three members of Li Luochen's team had experience exploring secret realms.
Among them, Li Luochen and Pai Pa are a fixed pair, and they know each other very well.
Li Luochen was quite curious about just how strong Chen Wenxuan really was.
Chen Wenxuan asked instinctively, "Dojo level? What's wrong?"
"It's alright, since it's a Gym level, that makes things easier. Let's head straight for the core area. If nothing unexpected happens, that thunderstorm zone is probably the habitat of the unknown Pokémon."
Li Luochen pointed forward.
Even in the dense, leafy forest, the distant thunderstorm area was still particularly noticeable.
As the ancients said, opportunity and danger go hand in hand.
That place looks so dangerous, there must be something good there!
"Alright, I'll listen to Brother Luo Chen."
Piper selected the auto-follow option.
Wherever Li Luochen went, he went.
The same goes for Chen Wenxuan.
Since they've both said so, even if I wanted to object, it would be futile.
Moreover, Li Luochen had clearly considered the matter carefully before choosing to venture into the core area for exploration.
Just as Chen Wenxuan had thought.
Li Luochen had estimated the current combat strength of the team.
I and Chen Wenxuan are at the Dojo level, while Papa is at the late Elite level.
not bad.
After all, Pipa's role is logistics, specifically cooking, and she doesn't need much combat power.
The team has two Gym Leader level trainers, who can practically sweep through this entire secret realm.
Well, that is, provided that no Elite Four level Pokémon appears.
If you're really unlucky, you might encounter a Champion-level Pokémon.
Then we'll have to call in reinforcements.
Feeling the touch on his neck, Li Luochen was full of confidence.
"Stand out in a spread-out manner. Brother Wenxuan, you stay at the back. Paipa, you stand in the middle. I will lead the way from the front."
After assigning positions, Li Luochen released Gu Le Dun and Po Kong Yan, and began to explore the depths of the secret realm.
This is an ancient secret realm related to electricity. Looking at the surrounding area, which resembles a primeval forest, there are probably many Pokémon with the Rock type.
In this situation, Charizard definitely can't be deployed.
Even when encountering Grass or Bug-type Pokémon, Flareon makes it easy to deal with them.
If you encounter a Rock or Electric type Pokémon, the Fighting or Dragon type Goredon can easily handle it.
The three of them continued towards the thunderstorm area.
Along the way, we did encounter some trainers who had already entered the secret realm.
Seeing that Li Luochen and his companions wanted to head towards the thunderstorm area, a kind-hearted trainer advised, "If you want to go deeper, you should change your route as soon as possible. I won't say anything more; if you're really determined, then keep going."
After giving the warning, the trainer ran in the opposite direction.
It's obvious they're planning to loot some land, completely dispelling any idea of going to the heart of the city for a good meal.
Li Luochen, Pai Pa, and Chen Wenxuan were taken aback, but didn't take it too seriously.
"It's better to be cautious."
Li Luochen thought for a moment and decided to proceed cautiously. After telling the other two to slow down, he continued to probe forward.
buzzing-
Before they had gone far, a dense chorus of flapping wings surged forth like a tide, drowning out all other sounds in the forest.
Li Luochen suddenly raised his hand, blocking Papa and Chen Wenxuan, and stopped in his tracks.
"Shhh."
He lightly touched his lips with his fingertips, making a shushing gesture.
The two immediately understood, held their breath, and turned their heads to look in the direction he indicated.
One glance was enough to change their expressions instantly.
In the clearing in the woods ahead, a group of dragonfly-shaped Pokémon were gathered.
Each of them is nearly the size of an adult, with three pairs of segmented legs and three pairs of thin wings.
Its entire body is covered in military green carapace, dotted with scarlet spots, and it is currently hovering low in the air, intently searching for food.
In the center of them stood a creature with exceptionally crimson eyes, whose aura far surpassed that of the rest of their kind.
[Pokémon: Ancient Dragapult (Boss)]
[Attribute: Insect, Flying]
[Level: 55]
【Characteristic: Perception】
[Move: Blow Away (inherited)... other moves omitted.]
Boss Pokémon!
We encountered the boss Pokémon as soon as we entered the secret realm!
No wonder so many people choose to take detours or scavenge for land in the rear.
Emotions were the first hurdle that stopped them.
That makes sense, I suppose.
The ancient giant dragonfly was extremely ferocious.
Most of the trainers who come here are elite-level, and they would probably be defeated in one encounter and become its extra meal.
Even if there were gym-level trainers, they wouldn't focus their energy on dealing with this group of ancient giant dinosaurs.
What benefits would there be in dealing with it?
Unless you want to tame an ancient giant dragonfly, or want to use its materials for medicine.
Otherwise, it's best to avoid making them your enemy.
"Ahhh!" (Boss, there are several vital roots nearby, extremely old, at least a hundred years old!)
Therefore, Leighton pointed to the location of the ancient giant dragonfly.
Li Luochen looked intently and indeed found several budding roots.
In reality, natural plants like *Vitalis Root* are excellent materials for medicinal use.
There's also the concept of the year.
Therefore, the older the root of vitality, the more expensive it is.
This century-old source of vitality...
Wow, it's probably going to be over a million.
Thinking of this, Li Luochen acted decisively, even throwing out Charizard's Poké Ball: "Gretaton, activate its ability. Blaze, unleash Rage! Charizard, Heat Wave!"
This is a powerful move right from the start.
Therefore, Leton enters its full power form, with a blazing sun hanging high in the sky, amplifying its fire-type moves.
The temperature is rising, making people sweat profusely.
The moment the Poké Ball was activated, Charizard burst forth in a red glow!
Whoohoo!
The air currents converged instantly, transforming into a surging heat wave that roared towards the swarm of ancient giant dragonflies!
The hot wind blew in gusts, and most of the ancient giant dragonflies, unable to bear the weight, were scorched black by the hot wind and fell to the ground.
The ancient giant dragonfly, the leader of the clan, was furious when it saw that its people had been ambushed!
Boom!
The leader unleashed his full power, instantly shattering the remaining hot air!
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the Blazing Flame burst forth, its four legs surging with flames around it, like a meteor tearing through the air, and it attacked the leader, the ancient giant dragonfly!
The ancient giant dragonfly showed no sign of alarm.
A flash of gray light appeared around it, and countless jagged fossils materialized out of thin air, forming a solid barrier in front of it, thus blocking the all-consuming charge of the Void-Breaking Flame!
