Damn it! Why is this Lao Liu bullying me again?

and many more!

Zhao Chao suddenly realized a very serious problem. If Bert's luck was really so "conserved", the fact that he was so unlucky and hit a wall twice in a row could only mean one thing!

His good fortune has worn off!

From today till now, it seems that Bert only has one chance to use up his good luck!

"Let's turn back!"

"What?"

"If Bert's luck is really that outrageous, where do you think his luck went?" Zhao Chao reminded.

Although luck is a confusing thing, there is nothing we can do at the moment, so we might as well give it a try.

"First left turn!" After Zhao Chao's reminder, Cohen and Tiantong reacted at the same time.

"That's right!"

"Hey, you guys are going too far by mocking me like this! Do you guys believe in luck?"

"I'm not mocking you. Even if luck is something that doesn't exist, we still have a chance to try and make mistakes before the route goes too far."

When the group came back, there was no Diamond Steelix in the corner, not even an ordinary Steelix. This made Bert proud again.

"Look, I said no!"

Zhao Chao did not respond and walked a few steps into the passage alone.

"Maybe, this explains the problem!" Tiantong looked at the empty passage thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?"

“Even if you’ve been to the two short corners, at least there were Steelix and Onix guarding them, but this corner was surprisingly quiet.

I have to re-evaluate your luck now, Bert. I just thought it was a joke before, but after the boss reminded me, it seems that there is really something indescribable. "

Before, because they were brothers, Cohen didn't think about it in this way. Now that it has been pointed out, Cohen does care about his brother's luck.

"Hey, Cohen, don't be like this, I'm panicking."

"Cohen didn't scare you. What he said is true. Look here!"

There was a piece of crystal lying where Zhao Chao was pointing, but this crystal did not look like it was man-made, more like it was naturally broken.

"Little Boss, do you mean this is from that big steel snake?"

"Hey, don't be so exaggerated. Why can't it be on both walls?"

[Crystal of Crystal Steelix: Crystal dropped from Crystal Steelix, good quality, worth some money]

Zhao Chao had already learned the true identity of this thing with the help of the system, but he couldn't say that he had the system, right?

"This is not from Diamond Steelix."

"Phew, that's what I told you." Bert was relieved.

"It comes from a giant crystal steel snake!"

"Ah~ Little Boss, don't scare me!"

"It won't do me any good if I lie to you. Look, the color of this crystal is slightly different from the surroundings."

If the system hadn't reminded him, Zhao Chao himself wouldn't have noticed it. Now he is just writing down the answers.

"Indeed, the colors are similar but not too similar!"

When something breaks, there must be a trajectory for it to break. Zhao Chao followed the broken crystals on the ground and looked at the wall. The starting point of the broken crystals was on the wall.

Seeing this, Zhao Chao finally realized what he had overlooked!

This is the fourth and fifth floor, the entire route is not circular! It is a spiral!

The four corners are not separate irregular shapes, but connected anti-spirals!

"Cohen! Lend me your cold water monkey!"

"No problem, come out, cold water monkey!"

"Meow?" The cold water monkey was released and looked at Zhao Chao with curiosity.

Because it is not his Pokémon, he cannot exchange emotion points for skills. Zhao Chao can only use the self-selected skill box to exchange for a digging disc for Coldwater Monkey to use. If he had known this, he would not have recycled the digging disc. What a huge loss!

"This is?"

"This is the Digging Skill Disc. It can let your Cold Water Monkey learn the Digging Skill. Both the Explosive Fragrance Monkey and the Cauliflower Monkey can learn the Digging Skill. If you are interested, you can challenge the Earth Dragon Gym in Longteng City. You can get the Digging Disc after defeating the Gym Leader."

"Is that so? So, young boss, you have already defeated him?" Cohen made up this scenario in his own mind, saving Zhao Chao from having to make up a lie.

"Yes! This is the Yalong badge!" Zhao Chao took out the badge to stimulate a few people.

"Great, one more target!"

"However, Bert, you must be the most difficult one. Fire-type is not very effective against ground-type and dragon-type, and you are completely defeated." Zhao Chao attacked without hesitation.

"Cold Water Monkey, you have learned how to dig a hole. Can you help me dig to the other side and see if there is any other space?"

"Mee~" The cold water monkey nodded and started digging a hole.

Almost two minutes later, the cold water monkey dug back.

"How's it going, cold water monkey?"

"Mee-mi~Mee-mi~" The cold water monkey first nodded, then shook his head.

"What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"

"I think what Lengshui Monkey meant is that there is indeed another world over there, but we cannot dig through it with our ability. Did we find diamonds?" Zhao Chao understood the elves' language, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only mention it vaguely.

"Mee-yi, mee-yi~" Lengshui Monkey nodded.

"It seems that our idea is correct, Lengshuihou, I'd like to trouble you to dig once more. This time, don't dig vertically. Dig horizontally along the diamond." Zhao Chao made it very clear this time.

"Meow~" The cold water monkey, who had benefited from Zhao Chao's hole digging, was also very sensible. It dug a new hole without saying anything.

"Little boss, what is this?"

"I suspect there is more than one Steelix in this place with a special form!" Zhao Chao's words shocked everyone.

"why?"

"This is the reason!" Zhao Chao held up the crystal in his hand: "This is crystal, not diamond! Although crystal and diamond are both rare minerals, diamond is harder and traditional methods cannot drill diamonds at all. This is why the cold water monkey cannot dig back.

The owner of this crystal should be a Crystal Steelix, which may be the offspring of Diamond Steelix. Diamond Steelix's territory is too hard to dig, so I don't count on it, but Crystal Steelix can try.

Don’t tell anyone about what happened today, just let the Diamond Steel Snake continue to roam freely here.”

Although there are ways to deal with Diamond, Zhao Chao doesn't want to think about it anymore. With Crystal Steelix as a substitute, his expectations for Diamond Steelix are not that high.

"Don't worry, little boss! We are keeping our mouths shut."

The cold water monkey seemed to take a little longer this time. The group waited for ten minutes but still did not find any cold water monkey.

"Is anything going to happen to the Cold Water Monkey?" The person who was most worried about the Cold Water Monkey was none other than Cohen, after all, he was his partner.

"That shouldn't be the case. We didn't hear any fighting sounds. Sounds transmitted through holes should be clearer than those transmitted through flat ground."

"Mee~" Finally, after another ten minutes, the cold water monkey was dug out.

"Cold Water Monkey, how are you?"

"Mee-mee-mee!" Lengshui Monkey was very excited and tried to describe the scene by gesticulating with his hands.

"Don't be impatient, take your time. You said there was a hemispherical hard rock. Then what?"

"Mee~"

"And there's another big guy digging a hole towards you."

"Mee-ee, mee-ee~"

"It's coming towards us? Can you lure it out?"

"Mee~"

"Be careful! If there's no other way, put your own safety first!"

"Little boss, are you a monster? Can you understand Pokémon?" Cohen was dumbfounded. He had no idea what his own Pokémon was talking about, but the little boss spoke very clearly. Why did he feel like he was being cheated on?

This is like taking your girlfriend to your best friend's house and finding out that your girlfriend knows the wifi password of your best friend's house.

"As long as you and the Pokémon are of one mind, you can also feel what the Pokémon wants to say. Even if you can't guess it completely, you can guess it roughly."

This time the feedback was much faster than the previous time. Almost as soon as the words fell, a vibration appeared around him.

Did it come so quickly? Or was it coming towards me from the beginning?

"Mee~"

-Here it comes!

The cold water monkey suddenly dug out from the cave entrance, and even due to inertia, rushed towards Cohen, hitting him in the chest.

"Then leave it to me, Bert! I'm counting on you, Melt Ant Beast. Burn it all!"

Without waiting for the other party to show his face, Bert had already ordered the Melting Ant Beast to use Burning Attack on the cave entrance.

As a result, a stone head broke out of the ground and met the flames.

That’s right, the owner of this stone head is…

Big rock snake!

[Onix; Rock Snake Pokémon; Level 39; Rock + Ground; Hard Head; Frank; 3V; Orange]

[Skills: Shootdown, Rockfall, Dragon Breath, Rock Grinding]

The fire element can indeed restrain Steelix, but it is not very effective against Onix.

Moreover, this big rock snake was already very angry about being provoked by the cold water monkey, and was slapped in the face by the monkey, which made it extremely furious.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he spit a golden energy ball at the Molten Ant Beast.
