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

Li Chen scratched his head in confusion, running his fingertips through his black hair that was wet by the wind and snow.

Normally, with her authority, she shouldn't be in this restricted area.

"Hmph~"

Irene twisted her slender waist, one hand on her hip, looking like a smug little fox. "You said I'm a guide to the secret realm, so isn't it normal for me to be here?"

She winked playfully, the unmelted snow on her eyelashes gleaming. "Besides, I just happened to see you. How are you? Do you need any help from a guide?"

Li Chen pointed to the dark cave entrance not far away and said, "I want to go to that cave. Any suggestions?"

"Ah~"

Erin's ears drooped. "Are you talking about the Gigantamax Nest?"

She shook her head exaggeratedly, the fur on her hat swaying from side to side. "That's not a place you can go to. Besides, it takes four people to go on such a huge adventure. It's too dangerous to go alone."

"..."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes, feeling that there was something fishy hidden in these words.

"It's not a big deal, just go and take a look."

He shrugged indifferently, and the snow on his clothes fell off.

"Hey, do you really want to go and see it~"

Irene looked like a deflated ball, even her elf ears drooped listlessly.

She sighed deeply and stamped her feet as if accepting her fate: "Well, after all, I'm the guide!"

Chapter 458 VS Paper Sword

Li Chen scratched his red cheeks from the cold: "Actually, you don't have to come with me."

"No!" Irene suddenly straightened her back, her clothes fluttering in the wind, making her eyes look particularly bright.

Li Chen looked at the snow falling all over the sky, and finally exhaled a breath of white air as if in compromise: "Okay, then you lead the way."

Upon hearing this, Irene straightened her back immediately, jumped around behind Li Chen, and put her hands on his back, pushing him forward:

"Okay, just keep going!"

The warmth of Irene's palm could be felt through the thick fabric.

A little cold.

"?"

Li Chen staggered after being pushed. After stabilizing himself, he looked back in confusion, "Didn't you say you were the guide? Why do you want me to lead the way?"

"One thing at a time~"

The girl blinked cunningly, snowflakes falling on her curled eyelashes. She raised her index finger and shook it, "You are even more powerful now."

As he said this, he deliberately pushed Li Chen, but the force was as light as a feather.

The white breath exhaled by Li Chen dissipated in the cold wind. He tightened his collar and walked forward resolutely.

Erin trotted after them, her snow boots digging indentations in the frozen ground.

The entrance to the giant nest stood abruptly on the snowfield, with blood-red ice crystals condensed on the edge of the dark cave.

As the distance got closer, the low roar coming from the cave became clearer and clearer, causing the entire snowfield to tremble slightly, and the icicles hanging from the cave ceiling swayed like sharp swords.

"Send~"

Flutterfat suddenly materialized on its own, its translucent form emitting a soft emerald glow in the dim environment.

"Shh, your current strength is still not up to par. This place is not something you can handle."

Li Chen suddenly reached out and pressed Zhen Yifa's head, his voice lowered to a very low level.

His gaze was fixed on the depths of the cave, where some kind of energy was faintly flowing in the shadows.

The red light of the Poké Ball flashed, and Flutterfat's unwilling look was instantly retracted.

Irene unconsciously leaned closer to him, and the white breath she exhaled condensed into frost in the low temperature.

"Hey..."

At this moment, Irene suddenly came closer.

Warm breath with the scent of mint candy fell on Li Chen's ear, "What kind of big thing do you think is hidden in there?"

"not sure."

Li Chen's eyes never left the cave: "Aren't you a guide? Why are you asking me?"

The girl's head suddenly tilted to the side, revealing the red tips of her ears. "Well... actually, I was dreaming last night... uh... I got in here for no apparent reason..."

"You must think I'm talking nonsense..."

Later on, the voices became quieter and quieter.

"I believe."

Those two simple words made Irene look up suddenly, her ears flushed red, and her fingers intertwined on the spot.

At this time, Li Chen also glanced down.

It accidentally brushed across Irene's neck.

There hung a string of simple dark green stone beads, each of which was polished to be round and smooth, and shone with a warm luster in the reflection of the snow.

"Want it?"

Irene noticed his gaze and smiled as she took off the beads.

The seemingly ordinary hemp rope was strung with seven turquoise stones of different sizes, which made crisp clinking sounds as she shook it.

"This is the amulet He gave me."

Irene spun the beads around her fingers. The bead in the center was truly a bright green. "They say it can ward off evil spirits."

"Keep it for yourself."

Li Chen waved his hand, his gaze lingering on the string of beads with a soft luster for a second longer, then he turned to face the cave.

He took a deep breath, and the cold air filled his lungs, carrying a slight musty smell.

The moment he bent down and crawled into the cave, the soles of his shoes crushed the ice crystals on the edge, and the crisp shattering sound was particularly harsh in the confined space.

Irene trotted after her, the beads swaying gently with her movements, leaving a few green streaks in the dim light.

The cold air in the cave immediately wrapped around him, and the white mist exhaled by Li Chen formed a brief halo in front of the searchlight.

A bright light pierced the darkness, revealing an ordinary rock face.

There were no ancient murals as expected, only traces of artificial excavation.

The cordons on both sides swayed slightly in the air current, and the warning sign hanging on the cords read [Sunset Empire Alliance·Special Energy Mining Area].

There were some instrument parts scattered on the ground, as well as half a pack of uneaten compressed biscuits.

Swish-!

The sound of breaking air suddenly came!

The moment the white light flashed, Li Chen suddenly grabbed Irene's wrist and threw herself to the side.

The two men fell heavily to the gravel ground, and the searchlight rolled far away. The beam of light swayed and reflected a fleeting white shadow.

"Shoot-"

Despite his quick reaction, the corner of Li Chen's clothes was still neatly cut off.

When the cloth fell, the cross-section was as smooth as a mirror, without even a trace of burrs.

"This speed..."

Li Chen clicked his tongue, stared at the torn hem of his clothes, and ran his fingers over the cut.

Irene slumped on the ground. The beads around her neck had broken at some point, and the turquoise was rolling "clattering" into the darkness.

Snapped!

The falling turquoise suddenly exploded one after another, and a biting cold air burst out from the fragments.

Li Chen threw the luxury ball almost at the same time: "Vulcan Moth! Dance of Fire!"

"Wu~"

The Vulcan moth spreads its six wings, and countless sparks condense into blazing fireballs at the tips of its wings.

As soon as the fireballs flew out, white shadows shuttled among them like ghosts.

"Watch your back!"

Before the warning sounded, a white shadow appeared behind the Vulcan Moth.

The moment the cold light struck, the temperature of the entire cave dropped sharply, and frost patterns instantly appeared on the rock walls.

The fire dance released by the Vulcan Moth was abruptly cut off, and as it stumbled forward, the scattered sparks illuminated the outline of the attacker.

It's actually a paper figure with a mostly white body? !

Its head is folded into its body, with a yellow four-pointed star cut out of the center, and no distinct facial features.

Pokémon: Paper Sword (Ultra Beast)

[Attributes: Grass, Steel]

[Level: 69 (Gym Level Peak)]

[Feature: Improvement of alien beasts]

【gender:???】

[Skill: Omitted]

"Ultimate Beast?!"

Li Chen's heart tightened when he saw the system prompt.

A paper sword that can split the Fire Dance with one move is just too outrageous, right?!

Li Chen pulled the corners of his mouth together, a solemn look appearing on his face.

Even though the opponent is four times weaker to fire, this is not a reason for me to relax.

Judging from the fact that the opponent just split Fire Dance in half with a sword, this guy's combat awareness is definitely not bad.

Not to mention, the strength of this paper sword is at the peak of the gym level, completely approaching the king level!

shhhhh--

Paper Edgeworth takes action again.

Its speed is so fast that even the Vulcan Moth cannot track its whereabouts.

Outrageous...

Looking at this speed, Li Chen clenched his fists.

If he could use the power of waves, he wouldn't be so passive.

After thinking about it.

Li Chen chose a large-scale attack: "Vulcan Moth, spin, use hot air!"

The Vulcan Moth took off vertically, its six wings spinning rapidly.

The violent heat wave spread in a spiral shape, and the entire cave instantly turned into a furnace!

Chapter 459 Cosmogu and Pheromone

A scorching golden storm raged in the cave, and the hot wind vortex formed by the spinning Vulcan moths burned the rock walls red.

However, the snow-white figure was like a kite in a storm, flying through the waves of fire at incredible angles.

Paper Edgeworth's folded head suddenly unfolded, and a brown light lit up in the center of its four-pointed star-shaped face.
