Elf: I'm Just a Commentator

The little one reverted to using the Plasma Energy Ball, constantly consuming it on one side, while Gallade did the same, constantly engaging in hit-and-run tactics on the other.

As for the main damage output... Lin Xuan chose to entrust that to Ibrahimovic this time.

And as it turns out, Ibrahimovic did not disappoint Lin Xuan's expectations.

Furthermore, they didn't use the self-destruct tactic from previous battles. The entire battle wasn't particularly exciting; they simply used Aura Force to wear down Steelix, which took... an hour!

Young challenger, you have passed the trial!

Finally, Steelix stood panting in front of Lin Xuan and said to him.

Lin Xuan's fighting style is quite common, and many challengers have adopted this tactic before, but it makes Steelix a little less fun.

If he were to lose, he would still hope that the challenger could use their superior strength to overwhelm him and secure victory.

Although he had not completely lost his ability to fight, he was nearing exhaustion due to Lin Xuan's exhaustion.

Lin Xuan wasn't in much better shape. After catching her breath, she sat on the ground and raised her hand to signal to Steelix.

"Thank you very much!!"

Lin Xuan didn't care whether it was interesting or not; all she cared about was winning the match.

In fact, Steelix could also sense that Lin Xuan seemed to be holding back a bit, not revealing his full strength. However... it was none of his business anymore; he was going back to sleep.

"boom!"

Chapter 440 Dinner at the same table as Poison Baby

The temple gate not far in front of Lin Xuan suddenly opened, and the giant steel snake was preparing to go back through the tunnel it had dug earlier. But before that, Lin Xuan threw a can of healing medicine over to it.

"I don't know how effective it will be for you, but this stuff can be taken internally or used externally."

Lin Xuan said with a smile. When the giant steel snake saw Lin Xuan throw something over, it first caught it with its head. After hearing Lin Xuan's explanation, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the entire can of medicine, even the shell.

Their eating habits were quite wild, to say the least.

Steelix nodded to Lin Xuan. Although the injury wasn't serious and he could recover after resting for a while, it would be better to have medicine to help him heal.

Moreover, the medicine Lin Xuan gave him seemed to be quite effective. He could feel the wounds after just taking it. It seemed that he should eat more minerals when he got back so that he could recover faster.

Perhaps because Lin Xuan's actions had earned him some favor from Steelix, after seeing the temple gates open, Steelix gave him a reminder:

If I remember correctly, it was the student council president who let you in, right?

"Yes."

Lin Duan nodded; this issue had been discussed before the challenge.

What is your relationship with the student council president?

"Hmm... I guess you could say the president is my mentor."

Lin Xuan didn't hide anything and spoke directly. Then, he saw the Steelix remain silent for a moment before quietly saying:

[Let me remind you here: after entering the temple, do not mention your relationship with the guild master, especially the fact that he is your mentor. It's best... best to say that you have a grudge against him.]

"what?"

Lin Xuan was stunned. She was about to ask what was going on, but before she could even open her mouth, the giant steel snake slithered away, giving Lin Xuan no time to react.

"Hey! At least tell me why!?"

Lin Xuan shouted at the hole the Steelix had disappeared into, but it was obvious that no one would respond to him; in his aura, the Steelix had long since gone.

"What's this?"

Lin Xuan looked helpless, while the little ones on the side also started guessing.

"Could it be that the president has a grudge against the guys in here?"

Lin Xuan felt this was probably the closest answer, but why was that?

If nothing unexpected happens, the creature inside should be some kind of mythical beast...

"I completely forgot about that!"

Lin Xuan slapped his forehead. The giant steel snake had moved too fast for him to even ask where they were. Although he knew there might be a mythical beast inside, he had no idea who it was!

"But why does this arrangement feel familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Lin Xuan looked at the temple in front of her and felt inexplicably familiar with it, but she just couldn't remember where it was. Lin Xuan thought it might be because it had a very high similarity to a certain building in the game!

Looking back now, this seems to be the most plausible reason.

Lin Xuan walked in without thinking much. Although only a small part of the temple was visible from the outside, once inside, what was right in front of him was enough to demonstrate the temple's immense size.

"Boy!"

[It seems like superpowers are blocked here too, just like outside!]

As Eevee floated forward, he said to Lin Xuan, "However, the shielding effect of superpowers here is far less than that of the passage; it can only reduce the outward exploration of superpowers to a certain extent."

This has reduced Eevee's psychic power by almost 90%. Originally, her psychic power could have easily covered the entire temple, but now it's difficult to even find out the direction ahead.

"At least not in the same situation as in the passageway."

Lin Xuan said casually, after all, even the giant steel snake guarding this place has that kind of strength, so it's normal that this temple has some special features.

"Boy!"

Eevee used its psychic powers to scan the area and indicated that there were no Pokémon or traps ahead, so it was safe to proceed.

Lin Xuan nodded. The room in front was somewhat dark compared to the outside, so Lin Xuan could only have Xiao Dian light a fire on the side. But just as he stepped into the room, twelve pairs of red eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness, staring intently at them.

"This is what you meant by no Pokémon and no traps?"

Lin Xuan swallowed hard, questioning Eevee while silently taking two steps back, seemingly trying to show that she meant no harm. However, the owners of those eyes didn't seem to think so.

“Bu, Bui…”

Eevee was also somewhat incredulous, because according to her psychic detection, there shouldn't be any living creatures in there at all!

"I think if you don't give a proper explanation, you'll be having dinner at the same table as Poison Baby tonight."

"Bui!?"

"Baby!"

Speaking of which, Eevee is one thing, but Poison Baby is not happy. There aren't many poison mushrooms to begin with, and now Eevee, the big sister, has to come and take them from her.

As Xiaodian protected Lin Xuan as she retreated, she also threw a fireball inside. Instead of attacking them directly, she chose to throw it in the middle of the room. The intense flames instantly illuminated the entire room, and Lin Xuan realized where those gazes were coming from.

A total of twelve clay giants!

The twelve clay giants stood neatly on both sides of the room. Although they saw Lin Xuan, they didn't move, merely watching from the sidelines. However, the aura emanating from them hinted at a terrifying truth—

These twelve clay giants are all at the five-star level!

Lin Xuan almost cursed. Even if the dungeon progress was relatively fast, was it really necessary to do this?

What's with suddenly having twelve five-star Pokémon appear out of nowhere?

At this moment, none of the twelve clay giants moved. If they had made even the slightest move, Lin Xuan would probably have simply run away.

If there were only one or two, or even two or three clay giants, Lin Xuan could still manage to deal with them, but so many at once...

"Dandan?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Xiao Dian leaned close to Lin Xuan's ear and asked a question.

Should we fight?

Lin Xuan simply rolled her eyes in response.

Fight? Do you think you can beat them?!

Even with Mega Evolution and Aura, Gallade and Eevee are only capable of holding off one of them at best. The only one truly capable of defeating them is Tiny.

"Can you take on ten?"

After Lin Xuan said those words, Xiao Dian noticed that Yi Bu, Xiao Xi Xiaomi, and Du Bei Bi were all looking at her, so she quickly shook her head.

He didn't want to die young.

"However, these guys' situation... seems a bit special."

After Lin Xuan entered, these clay giants seemed to have been activated by a special mechanism, but they simply stood there watching Lin Xuan without making any special moves. Moreover, although Lin Xuan's aura power was somewhat restricted here, it was still able to exert considerable effectiveness.

He could sense that there was something wrong with these clay giants; they weren't quite normal.

"Does that mean they'll only attack me if I actually walk inside?"

Lin Xuan thought this, and before he could even speak, Gallade stepped forward. Gallade was more skilled at this kind of thing, and could teleport out instantly even if there was any unexpected situation.

He also tried it, and even his teleportation was affected in this space.

Fortunately, if it's just a short-distance, instantaneous movement, the impact is almost negligible.

This is also related to Gallade's special situation. If another Pokémon used Teleport, the impact might not be so small.

Gallade went straight to the end of the room, where there was nothing but a single altar. Gallade surveyed its surroundings.

They discovered that although the clay giants had turned their attention to them, they did not seem to be about to attack.

Gallade then touched the altar and found it was covered in dust, indicating that no one had been there for a long time.
