Pokémon: World of Wonder

The underwater world at night and the underwater world during the day are two completely different worlds.

The deep sea stretches as far as the eye can see, like the gaping maw of some enormous creature, seemingly about to swallow you whole.

Those with thalassophobia may have already started experiencing symptoms.

As Jiang Ye navigated the familiar yet unfamiliar waterway, he gradually began to feel a familiar pressure.

The endless, dark waters began to shimmer with starlight, like a moonless night sky.

Jiang Ye's expression turned cautious. The starlight was clearly the gaze of a lurking sea creature, greedy and dangerous.

Jiang Ye found a relatively empty spot and landed on the seemingly quiet seabed, where all around was quiet.

The dolphins that patrolled the seabed in shifts were no longer visible. I wonder if his body will be recovered if something happened to him. At least let him have a complete body, right?

Banishing this uninteresting thought from his mind, the glittering palace quietly radiated its light, bringing a touch of brightness to Jiang Ye's vision.

Jiang Ye landed at a spot that was neither too close nor too far, just enough to see some enormous fish swimming around the palace, occasionally darting into the darkness and then out again.

Jiang Ye followed the principle of avoiding these guys hiding in the sand whenever possible. For those he couldn't avoid, he would divert the trouble by throwing a stone at them from a distance to signal that he had been discovered, letting them leave angrily on their own.

After a little effort, Jiang Ye finally arrived at the palace. The seawater surrounding the palace was filled with white specks of light, making it look very sacred.

There was a sense of mysterious ruins about it, but Jiang Ye wasn't there to break in. He was just catching fish outside the palace. Even if he were to break in, Jiang Ye was confident that if he dared to do so, it wouldn't be as simple as being slowly sliced ​​to death.

Walking on the seawater-soaked stone bricks, the entire palace and the seabed are adjacent, but they are like two different worlds. There is not a single grain of sand in the gaps between the stone steps, and even the sand on the edge of the entire palace is as solid as stone, without any of the fluidity that sand should have.

After walking a while into the palace and arriving at its outer perimeter, every stone brick and even every building material around it emitted a faint glow, as if some fluorescent material had been added.

Following the outer corridor, Jiang Ye found a staircase leading down. Above Jiang Ye's head were a group of prehistoric Pokémon known as Coral Reef Beasts and Crocodile Gillfish.

At this moment, they roamed around the palace in packs, like wolves on the sea plains. Any Pokémon that was accidentally attracted by the light or passed by would be attacked by them and torn to pieces before being eaten.

Following the clues given by Lan Lan, Jiang Ye went down the steps and finally came to a place that resembled a passage. The passage led to a huge circular plaza, and in the center of the plaza was a huge circular cavity.

As Jiang Ye stepped out of the passage, the various mechanisms around him seemed to be triggered, and all sorts of lights and devices began to flash.

Below the circular opening, there was a huge circular arena, surrounded by concentric circles of steps. At the very center of the arena was a magic circle carved with some kind of pattern.

The moment Jiang Ye stepped into the plaza, the magic array began to activate quietly. Now, it seemed to have finally completed its activation, and a thin ray of light swept over Jiang Ye from head to toe.

After a few seconds of silence, the formation seemed to have completed its recognition, and then another beam of light shot out from the circular hole in the arena into the sea outside.

The cautious Jiang Ye took out his longsword and dagger and observed his surroundings, especially the peculiar array. After gaining some knowledge, Jiang Ye felt that these arrays were like ancient high technology, capable of achieving various functions comparable to modern machinery.

After a short while, the array in the center of the field suddenly shone brightly, and then a red and blue light shot out from the center of the array. Then a Pokémon appeared not far from Jiang Ye.

The Pokémon is entirely blue and white, covered by a thick coral reef. I really don't know how it manages to swim underwater like that.

The entire coral reef had been carefully polished, covering most of his body, leaving only a pair of small hind fins and his tail exposed.

Below the coral reef are a pair of huge white fins, which extend from his lower abdomen all the way to his lower jaw and become part of his jaw.

In short, it's like a shark with four legs covered by a thick coral reef!

Its defensive capabilities look incredibly impressive!

Jiang Ye stood not far away and observed for a while, and roughly guessed that this might be the prehistoric Pokémon called Coral Reef Sea Beast.

The coral reef sea monster looked around in confusion, then seemed to remember something, its eyes suddenly turned fierce and it began to scan its surroundings.

The arena was very spacious, like a gladiatorial arena, and Jiang Ye, who was standing there so brazenly, was immediately spotted by the coral reef sea monster.

Soaring~

Without the slightest hesitation, the coral reef sea monster slightly opened its mouth and spat out a fist-sized white cannonball that flew towards Jiang Ye's face!

The shells were so fast they were practically flying on land, but fortunately Jiang Ye had been working hard underwater these past few days and was quite adept at underwater operations. He easily dodged the shells by tilting to the right.

However, he was still swept up by the aftershocks and was moved to the side for a considerable distance before finally coming to a stop.

The shell struck the perimeter wall of the arena with a loud thud.

The impact was so strong that even the shell itself was damaged!

However, the seemingly ordinary stone wall remained completely undamaged.

With such power and speed, Jiang Ye's mind immediately focused. If he were hit, it would be no different from being dead even if he didn't die.

The expression on the other person's face didn't suggest that they would let him off with this protein feast.

Realizing that its cannonballs had missed, the Coral Reef Beast unleashed three more massive white cannonballs, sealing off Jiang Ye's position!

In the blink of an eye, the shell was right in front of them!

Jiang Ye shifted his body to the side into a lunge position, gripping the hilt of the sword with one hand and bracing the back of the blade with the other. For the first time in Jiang Ye's hand, the longsword began to radiate a heat that did not belong to the seabed!

The intense temperature created a fine bubble in the seawater, and a surge of pressure hit, as the shell whistled towards Jiang Ye's face!

Even while immersed in seawater, Jiang Ye could almost feel the chilling howling sound!
