Chapter 99 Continuing the Journey
Meanwhile, at a manor far away in Liancheng...
Earlier today, an unknown, massive secret realm in the Lane region collapsed, and experts from the International Alliance have temporarily named it the "Steelfire Secret Realm".
"The collapse of the secret site has resulted in more than 800 casualties in the area, and several illegal organizations have claimed responsibility for the incident."
"The following are images sent back by war correspondents..."
Ye Rong has a habit of watching the news every day, and he has also invested a lot of money in the Ryan region.
Upon seeing the news, he immediately changed his reclining posture and sat up.
On the screen, from the shattered light membrane of the secret realm.
A large number of Fire, Rock, and Steel-type Pokémon burst forth.
They are expanding their territory rapidly.
This is clearly a beast tide!
Wherever it went, it destroyed everything in its path.
The destruction of the local ecosystem by the beast tide is devastating.
A 2-meter-tall, unidentified elf is reddish-brown all over, with its limbs and head covered in steel.
It left cross-shaped lava footprints wherever it went.
The key is that this thing is unstoppable, with flames constantly swirling around it, forming a huge fire tornado.
This is practically a super-enhanced version of the Flame Vortex!
If Ye Kai could see this news now, he would naturally recognize this elf.
Heatran!
Who wouldn't be tempted by such a powerful spirit?
However, the fact that the video was released indicates that it was already outdated information.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Who?"
There was a knocking sound at the door.
"Master, Young Master Xuan has arrived."
"Yes, let him in."
Ye Xuan strode into the study.
The college entrance exam has been over for a week, so he is naturally very relaxed.
Moreover, my dad said he'd give him a powerful elf after the college entrance exam.
He also noticed the image of Sidran on the screen at that moment.
"So powerful!! This is probably above the Heavenly King level, close to the legendary..."
"Such an existence is beyond our reach; we should just watch the show."
Ye Rong ended the topic on this side of the news with a single sentence.
He turned off the screen.
"Xiao Xuan, I called you here today because I have a fairy to give to you."
"This is a level 48 Rhinoceros, incredibly powerful, enough to crush most Pokémon of the same level."
Ye Rong took out the high-grade ball containing the Drill Horned Rhinoceros.
"However, it's a bit higher level, so you'll have to put in more effort to tame it. Good luck."
Ye Xuan received the advanced ball, very excited.
He already has two elves.
Shakiras and Ice Nine-Tailed Fox have both reached level 30+, plus this Drill Horned Rhinoceros.
It's time to challenge the gym!
Yes, let's challenge the Fire-type Gym in Lotus City first!
He was sent away by Butler Wang shortly afterward.
After watching his son leave, Ye Rong began to think about Ye Kai.
I didn't expect him to be so fast.
It hasn't been that long, and I've already earned my fourth badge!
The next day.
The group bid farewell to the father and daughter from the Mountain Wind Manor.
Before leaving, I bought some local specialties.
Two boxes of fresh milk and dried beef, and five dried Slowpoke tails.
These things are all pretty good, especially Slowpoke's tail.
In this world, this tail is like the shark fin and dried abalone that Ye Kai saw in his previous life—the kind of nourishing delicacies.
It needs to be soaked in water first, and then stewed before eating.
It is quite valuable.
Zhao Qian spent more than 5 yuan in this round.
He wanted to send it back to his family.
Ye Kai asked him to buy half of it, so that there would be nothing to eat next time they were out in the mountains and countryside.
It's time to move on to the next destination.
"Rock-type or Fairy-type, which do you want to fight first?"
He asked Zhao Qian for his opinion.
"Actually, either one is fine. How about we fight the Rock-type first? It's closer to us."
Ye Kai estimated that Zhao Qian was fighting a Grass-type Gym and benefited from type advantage.
In addition, he has a competitive crab, and Scizor's Bullet Punch is also a good opponent for Rock-types!
"Let's go to the Rock-type Gym first."
The Rock-type Gym is located in Lincheng, Suqian City.
It was quite far from Shu City, where Ye Kai and his two companions were currently located.
If you were to travel by horse, it would probably take about 12 hours.
This doesn't even include rainy days.
No matter how far away he is, nothing can stop his determination to challenge the dojo!
The three set off immediately.
After driving on the highway for more than four hours, it was already the middle of the night.
The group had no choice but to stay overnight at the Pokémon Center in the highway service area.
Even though Ye Kai had four small badges, the room he was assigned was only about 90 square meters.
Fortunately, there's enough room for three people.
As for Zhao Qian, if he came during the day, there would definitely still be vacant rooms for the two small badges.
But at this point, there's absolutely nothing we can do.
The three of them, each with their own sleeping bag, made do for the night in the living room.
Ye Kai held Newra's egg all night.
He left in such a hurry.
I should have bought a canned incubator and nutrient solution first.
10 a.m. the next day.
After a quick breakfast, everyone prepared to continue their journey.
"Wait, I need to buy something first."
"You want to buy an incubator, right?"
Wang Xiaoting immediately saw through his needs.
"Go buy it quickly."
These items are not sold at the service area.
However, the Pokémon Center does have them.
In the end, Ye Kai spent a full 200,000 yuan to buy three bags of nutrient solution and canned incubators.
The egg stage is crucial for elves, so naturally, they won't be cheap.
It took us more than an hour to work on this little thing.
Then they continued on their journey.
The three of them drove for less than half an hour before getting off the highway.
The mountain road ahead is still under construction.
They have no choice but to rely on themselves.
Everyone became wary.
After all, the haunted mansion incident was still fresh in everyone's mind.
They didn't want to encounter anything else in the no-man's-land.
"I'll lead the way! I'll lead the way! For just 8, I guarantee I'll get you all out of the Howling Desert in 3 days!"
"I'm a local from Yucheng, so you can trust me with this!"
A group of people wearing sand-colored cloaks began to hawk their guiding services.
Some people refused and chose to go on their own.
Some trainers also chose to pay.
Yucheng is the area where Shushi and Yanshi meet.
As the saying goes, "Those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water."
This jade city produces minerals, but unfortunately, it has little to do with ordinary people.
So they were so poor they had to eat sand.
They could only make a living by working as guides.
"Everyone, for just 8, I guarantee I can get you across the Howling Desert in 3 days."
The middle-aged man with a full beard exuded confidence.
"7.5! And it only takes two and a half days!"
"6.5, in two days!"
It can even be rolled up?!
Ye Kai was speechless.
Too cheap a price is bound to make people uneasy.
At this moment, a girl with chestnut-brown braids and a scar on her nose appeared behind the group.
A price of 150,000 was displayed in front of them, claiming that they could take people out of the desert in one and a half days.
She didn't actively promote herself, so no one inquired about her business, and it was dismal.
"What should we do? Should we hire a guide?"
Zhao Qian asked for everyone's opinions.
Ye Kai recalled the swindler he encountered in front of the train station in his previous life.
He didn't have a good impression of these people.
