Chapter 166 Surrounded, an Unknown Enemy!
"A loud shout..."
The attack of the Sky-Piercing Flame was abruptly halted.
It crashed headlong into the rock wall, the flames surging from its body licking the wall, and the force of its impact caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear in the rock wall...
The ancient giant dragonfly's expression immediately turned ugly.
Unexpectedly, this fire-type Pokémon was able to shatter the primal power I had condensed!
Just then, the first rays of sunlight began to fall.
Guleton moved with lightning speed, suddenly leaping into the air and swinging his crimson fists!
With the blessing of a clear day, its fists blazed with intense flames, and with immense force, it pierced straight into the head of the ancient giant dragonfly!
The ancient giant dragonfly had just unleashed its primal power; its old power was exhausted and its new power had not yet been generated. How could it possibly have time to defend itself?
Rumble!
With a muffled thud, it was struck hard by Guleton's burning fist. Before it could even utter a cry, its massive body lost its balance and tumbled toward the ground.
Meanwhile, Charizard would not let this opportunity for a decisive victory slip by.
It took a deep breath, and a burst of intense light surged in its throat. A ball of fire erupted and condensed in mid-air into a well-structured character with strokes as if carved by an axe!
It's a fire-type burst of flames!
This powerful attack, "Great Flame Burst," struck the ancient giant dragonfly with the force to incinerate the entire world!
boom!!!
Flames exploded, thick smoke billowed, and a hideous mushroom cloud suddenly bloomed!
The shockwave swept in all directions.
Chen Wenxuan and Papa, who were standing close by, were already dumbfounded, and could almost feel the lingering heat of the flames.
Even the trainers who were hurriedly evacuating in the distance stopped in their tracks, turned around, and looked at the rising mushroom cloud, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
It can be said that everyone was deeply shocked by this earth-shattering blow and was unable to recover for a long time.
"Is this... is this the true power of a Gym Leader-level Pokémon?"
Someone murmured to themselves, their gazes toward the rising smoke filled with awe.
Some trainers who had experienced the Cangshan District Secret Realm incident suddenly recalled that a similar mushroom cloud seemed to have risen in the Secret Realm back then.
They initially thought it was a fire-type gym leader who had entered the secret realm.
Now it seems...
Apart from Li Luochen, the new headmaster of Minrong Martial Arts Academy, probably no one else could achieve such a terrifying effect...
As the truth came to light, all those in the know were filled with awe and respect.
As for whether or not to follow Li Luochen and try to take advantage of the situation?
Hehe, never mind.
Most people only dare to think about it in their hearts, and no one actually has the courage to put it into action.
Be careful not to get mistaken for an experience booster and use it to farm experience points.
Our gaze shifts to Li Luochen.
He stood in the center of the battlefield, looking around.
The ground beneath my feet was ravaged, scorched earth everywhere, and remnants of flames still burned quietly in the craters.
The ancient giant dragonflies that had been blocking the way were now lying in the deep pit, completely incapacitated.
"Thank goodness, the Yuanqi Roots are alright."
Amidst the smoke and fire, Li Luochen's gaze fell upon the distance not far away.
A smile appeared on his face when he saw those few ancient, vital roots still standing tall, their roots deeply embedded in the scorched soil.
A powerful life force still flows quietly within it, as if the devastating impact just now had nothing to do with it.
As expected of a century-old vital root, its vitality is truly remarkable!
"If we use them sparingly, whether they are processed into medicine or taken directly, these few century-old vital roots can probably last for a long time."
Li Luochen summoned Bodang Water.
Let it spray some water around.
"Bo Wu~"
Then, the rippling water rippled and extinguished the nearby flames, before shifting its focus to the root of vital energy.
In just a moment, the soil where the vital energy root was located was completely moistened.
Li Luochen took out a shovel and placed all the vital roots, along with the damp soil, into the portable petri dish.
After a series of actions, Papa and Chen Wenxuan exclaimed "666" in amazement.
"Brother Luo Chen, you're such a professional! But shouldn't you just let the Yuan Qi Root air dry after you get it? Why did you wet the soil and dig it up?"
After giving a compliment, Pipa expressed his bewilderment at Li Luochen's behavior.
Since we're going to sell them anyway, whether these vital roots are dried or wet won't affect the price.
"I think it's quite remarkable that these things have grown to this age, so I want them to experience more of the beauty of this world."
Li Luochen casually made up an excuse.
In fact, this thing will be brought to Master Liu later.
He secretly kept one for himself and gave the rest to the other person.
This is also an unwritten rule.
"Brother Luo Chen is truly kind-hearted."
After hearing this, Chen Wenxuan looked at Li Luochen with admiration.
I, Chen Wenxuan, am completely impressed by you!
"Ahem, I'm not as good as you all say."
Li Luochen waved his hand and casually put the petri dish into his backpack.
After doing all this.
He had only thrown a few pomelos on the ground.
Be a man to stay on the line and meet each other in the future.
I might have to come back here someday.
Don't hit too hard.
After all the hard work, I should at least give them something in return.
After leaving the grapefruit behind, Li Luochen left with Papa and the other person.
The process of venturing into the secret realm can be described as easy.
Most of the Pokémon they encountered were knocked down by Guleton with a single punch.
Li Luochen said that it was enough to stop there.
And so the group continued on their way, and before they knew it, they were approaching Thunder Valley.
Thunder Valley, the core area of this secret realm, is also the name that Li Luochen just gave to this area.
As the name suggests, this place is covered by thick, dark clouds all year round, and the sky is as dark as an eternal night.
Lightning bolts darted through the clouds, and thunder roared incessantly, as if the heavens were enraged and would never cease.
"Oh? So it's already time for the secret realm to open? Three college students... they're only at the elite level, I guess."
The three had barely approached the entrance to Thunder Valley when they heard the most scathing villainous voice in the distance.
Rockets?
Just as Li Luochen was wondering if the Rockets were up to something again, his expression suddenly darkened.
Dozens of burly figures emerged from Thunder Valley in formation, each accompanied by a robust Pokémon.
Behind them, lightning tore through the sky, and thunder roared incessantly, making the opponent's momentum all the more astonishing.
In contrast, their own group of three appeared rather lonely and isolated in this thunderstorm-shrouded valley.
Swish swish!
Just as Li Luochen was about to order Papa and Chen Wenxuan to lean back, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled violently!
All that could be heard behind me was the sound of earth breaking apart in unison.
Amidst the churning mud, countless ferocious figures leaped out from the ground.
They were covered in wet, foul-smelling mud, blocking their retreat like iron towers.
Looking around, the group of uninvited guests were closing in step by step, forming an encirclement, as if they had already laid a trap.
Judging from this setup, they've probably been lying in wait here for a long time, just waiting for someone to step into this dangerous place...
