Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

Li Chen raised his eyebrows. "Can you make it cheaper? Or give me a few more for a pound?"

The old man said nothing, but just raised his head slowly.

Blood and tears suddenly surged from his eyes, leaving dark red marks on the ground.

Li Chen calmly took out a tissue and handed it over: "Old man, are you still doing business so late at night?"

The tissue hung in the air, soaked with blood and tears.

The old man's voice suddenly became hollow: "I am...atonement..."

The lights in the cabin in the distance suddenly came on, casting shadows of crosses all over the ground.

I don't know when they all turned to this side.

The old man took the tissue, and his exposed wrist was covered with scorch marks that looked exactly like the cross.

"What sins are you redeeming?"

Li Chen asked.

But in the next moment, the old man disappeared.

It disappears like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser.

"Hey~ Trainer from China! Are you okay?"

A clear female voice broke the silence.

Li Chen suddenly came back to his senses, and the scene before him was completely changed.

The crooked wooden houses were transformed into neat white wooden houses, the rusty crosses were transformed into neat road signs, and even the smell of decay in the air was replaced by the fresh fragrance of pine wood.

Not far away, a girl in a white uniform was waving at him.

The alliance badge on her chest gleamed in the moonlight, and the entrance to the Lingyou Secret Realm behind her was lit with a normal blue indicator light.

"Hey, hey, are you okay?"

The girl trotted up to Li Chen.

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long silver-white hair tied into a neat ponytail, the ends of her hair swaying gently with her movements.

The amber cat eyes were particularly bright in the night, and the hem of a sweatshirt with a Jigglypuff pattern was revealed under the uniform jacket.

The girl leaned forward slightly, tilted her head to look at Li Chen, and suddenly stretched out her index finger to gently poke his palm: "It's strange, why did you suddenly stand still? It's a bit cold..."

The warmth from her fingertips made her wrinkle her nose.

"I'm fine." Li Chen suddenly spoke.

"Ah ah!"

The girl jumped back in fright, her ponytail arcing in the air.

She patted her chest to calm her breathing, the name tag on her uniform, "Spiritual Secret Realm Guide - Irene," swaying non-stop. "Scared, scared me to death! Sudden noises are scary, okay..."

"Feel sorry."

Li Chen smiled apologetically, and tapped the glowing pass on his chest with his finger. "Can you take me into the Lingyou Secret Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Irene pulled out a palm-sized identifier from her uniform pocket.

The blue light from the instrument scanned the pass, making a slight beeping sound.

She carefully checked the data jumping on the screen, and her ponytail swayed slightly as she nodded.

"Come with me!"

Irene walked in front and pointed to the entrance to the secret realm shrouded in blue light in the distance. "It's a full moon night today, so you can see the 'Ghost Parade'~"

"Ghost Parade?"

Li Chen paused slightly and frowned unconsciously.

The moonlight passed through his eyelashes, casting fine shadows on his face.

Irene suddenly turned around and put her index finger in front of her lips to make a gesture of silence.

Her eyes sparkled strangely in the moonlight. "Every month during the full moon, the souls of the dead from the Spiritual Mystery Realm parade along the ruins of the ancient battlefield."

Chapter 453 When the Poison Infects the Harvest

"Ancient battlefield?"

Li Chen scratched his head in confusion, his fingertips brushing against the white hair at his temples, feeling quite puzzled.

Irene turned and pointed at the secret realm's gate, replying, "Experts have confirmed that the core area of ​​the secret realm is the site of an ancient battlefield. Every full moon, those wandering energies materialize..."

"Although most of the Pokémon that are active are ghost-type, you can occasionally see the spirits of Pokémon of other attributes."

At this point, Irene's pupils suddenly glowed with a strange halo, and her voice became like an echo that spanned thousands of years.

"When the poison permeates the abundance, when the glory of all things withers, even if the world collapses, the Lord of the Throne will eventually break through the illusion and return."

After saying this, Irene suddenly came back to her senses and stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly:

"This is the inscription on the obsidian stele deep within the secret realm. Of course, the deciphering department still hasn't figured out its meaning..."

"Yeah......"

Li Chen touched his chin, thinking about the meaning of this sentence.

"But..."

Irene suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered mysteriously into Li Chen's ear, "But every researcher who reads this will dream that night of a green and white Pokémon with a big head."

Irene's words were like a key, clicking open the floodgates of memory.

The majestic and compassionate figure of the Belle Crown King suddenly appeared in Li Chen's mind.

He lowered his eyes calmly, hiding his surging emotions under the shadow of his eyelashes.

"reached!"

At this moment, Irene's brisk voice broke through her contemplation.

She stood before a stone archway swirled with faint blue flames and gestured "please." "My authority only extends this far. Good luck!"

Li Chen nodded slightly and touched the stone door lightly with his fingertips.

In an instant, countless dark blue flames wrapped around his arms like living things, but without bringing the slightest burning sensation, it was as cold as if he had been immersed in an ice spring.

The moment he stepped over the threshold, the surrounding scene suddenly distorted.

The smell of rotten pine wood hit me in the face, and the ground under my feet was no longer solid ground, but dense ash, and every step sank to my ankles.

Three blood moons hung in the sky, dyeing the entire wasteland an eerie dark red.

In the distance, the tattered armor of a knight was kneeling in the ashes, with phosphorous flames floating in his helmet.

"Finally, there's a good place~"

The fluttering-winged creature leaped out lightly from the dark ball, its green body glowing brightly under the blood moon.

It took a deep breath in ecstasy, and the ghostly energy around it gathered towards it like a veil.

The boy suddenly flew towards a "dead tree" and gently touched the trunk with his tentacles.

The bark suddenly cracked, revealing the face of the rotten wood demon.

"Send~"

"Decadent~"

The two ghost-type Pokémon communicated in a way that humans couldn't understand, and the branches of the Wood Demon made a "crackling" laugh.

When it turned to Li Chen, the scarlet eye sockets actually revealed a bit of friendliness.

A branch slowly descended, handing over a fruit that was emitting a faint glow.

This is the highest standard of welcome gift in the Lingyou Secret Realm.

Seeing this, Celebi poked the fruit curiously, but was immediately frozen and retracted his claws.

“It’s actually a tangerine fruit…”

Li Chen carefully took the fruit that was glowing with a faint light.

The pink-purple peel feels icy cold to the touch, as if holding a piece of ice.

This rare fruit grows in an area rich in ghost energy, and it is said that each one is condensed with thick ghost energy.

If Ghost-type Pokémon consumes it for a long time, it may even be easier for them to learn some moves.

The fluttering wings could no longer be restrained and flew around Li Chen.

"Okay, just eat it."

Li Chen smiled and raised the tangerine.

After getting permission, it flapped its wings and pounced towards the tangerine fruit, opening its mouth to an incredible extent!

When the whole fruit was swallowed, its translucent body suddenly lit up with a strange purple light, and even the drifting phosphorescent fire was pulled to revolve around it.

The green tentacles on the top of the flapping wing suddenly straightened up and vibrated at a high frequency like an antenna receiving a signal.

The Buddhist beads around its neck moved automatically without wind, and each bead emitted a dazzling golden-red light.

"hair--!"

With a long and clear cry, brilliant fireballs burst out from its body.

Those flames were not the ordinary orange-red, but a dreamy purple-gold color, with faint blue light spots unique to the ghost system dancing within the inner flames.

Each ball of flame drew a strange trajectory in the air, sometimes falling like a meteor, sometimes floating like a ghost fire.

When these fireballs hit the ashes in the distance, they spread out like ink falling into water, outlining fleeting runes on the charred earth.

The branches of the rotten wood demon made a "cracking" sound, and the entire "dead forest" began to sway.

【Flutterfa has learned the magic flame.】

Li Chen:.......?

Eating ghost-type berries in a place with abundant ghost energy resulted in learning fire-type moves?!

I really don't know where to start complaining...

"F-F!"

On the other hand, Fluttering Wings proudly spun in the air, with unburned purple-gold sparks still floating around it.

Then, he began to explore the surroundings with great interest.

But he always kept a distance of no more than ten meters from Li Chen, and looked back from time to time to confirm the trainer's location.

Li Chen looked at the rotten wood monster in front of him.

After thinking about it, he took out the letter.

When the wax seal is exposed to air, the temperature of the surrounding area drops sharply.

He held the envelope in front of the rotten wood demon and said, "Excuse me, do you recognize this?"

"rotten......"

Suddenly, the smiling face on the rotten wood demon's bark froze in an instant.

Those originally friendly branches suddenly stood up like poisonous snakes, and a terrifying red light burst out of their eyes.

The entire "dead forest" was in turmoil.

Immediately afterwards, countless crystal lamp fire spirits suddenly emerged, and the dark blue flames turned towards Li Chen at the same time, casting spider-web-like shadows on the ground.

In an instant, the "dead forest" came alive.

The rotten wood demon's branches lashed down like whips, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Li Chen rolled sideways to avoid it, and a crack with black smoke appeared on the ground where he was standing.

“Crack! Crack!”

Amid the teeth-grinding sound of bark scraping against each other, more Ghost-type Pokémon emerged from the shadows!

The cursed doll floated in the air with its big grinning mouth, Gengar laughed strangely, and even the ashes on the ground condensed into dozens of Sand Eaters!
