Chapter 627: Z pure crystal and radiant stone veins!
Due to limitations in the resources and energy that can be carried, the Ultimate Investigation Team's out-of-city investigations usually take about ten days.
Excluding the need for a return trip, the remaining time they can explore is not long.
What is regrettable but reasonable is that this out-of-city investigation was the same as the previous one hundred or so, and there was almost no decent harvest as expected.
The so-called decent harvest is probably the reason why Ultimate Necrozma went crazy, or the clues pointing to this reason, the way to change everything, and so on.
However, the ultimate world is too big, and the human power trapped in the metropolis is limited. After so many years, nothing has been achieved.
It is not accurate to say that nothing was found. Every time the survey team collected a lot of necessary resources such as metal ores, they returned to support the development of the metropolis.
Although the results of this out-of-city investigation were no different from usual, after the investigation team returned, the atmosphere within the Metropolitan senior management was not solemn.
Because the research and development of [space jump] technology is nearing completion, this means that they can enter another world and find new ways.
However, sufficient experiments are needed to verify its safety before any technology is applied, especially for space jumps, which are extremely dangerous.
It is conceivable that if the instrument is suddenly damaged during a space jump, the passengers will be killed in the space turbulence.
Undoubtedly, those who conducted the first batch of experiments almost faced a near-death situation.
Xia Chen generously offered to help Metropolis conduct space jump experiments, of course, after he found the paper sword that could open the ultimate hole.
So after following the investigation team back to Metropolis and resting for two days, he set out again.
Alone, the goal is the Valley of the Swords where a large number of Paper Swords gather.
The journey remained uneventful, and there was not even a single battle. This was not because those violent ultimate beasts had learned their lesson, but because Guluton's speed was so fast that they did not react at all.
In less than half a day, he arrived here under the guidance of Rotom Navigation.
Putting on the ultimate night vision device given to him by Xiongnila, Xia Chen observed this dead valley.
As far as the eye can see, there is a scene of rubble and broken stones, presumably caused by a large number of paper swords being chopped here for many years.
With the power of Zhi Yujian's attack, Xia Chen even thought that this place could look like a valley. The hardness of the rocks here was already astonishing.
So, how to find a paper sword that is strong enough and not mentally contaminated?
Xia Chen stopped outside Yujian Valley, thinking about this problem.
…………
According to Vulcan Moth and Xia Chen's own observations, the more powerful the elves are, the more deeply they are mentally polluted.
Like the two Xuwuids parasitic on Xia Chen's parents, they are so calm just because they are not strong and the erosion they suffered is not serious.
Then there is an unsolvable situation. A paper sword that can communicate and cooperate with itself must not have the strength to open the ultimate hole, and a paper sword with that kind of strength will definitely not be able to communicate and cooperate.
Xia Chen thought about it but couldn't think of a way to solve this paradox, so he could only read it while walking.
There are a lot of paper swords in the valley, but they are obviously not as dense as the floating virtual swords in the sea of emptiness.
They are either persistently wrestling with a certain rock in the valley, or competing with their peers to see whose sword blade is sharper. They all seem to be bipolar patients.
Xia Chen finally decided to use a stupid method and test the sword with himself.
First of all, we need to screen out the paper sword that is powerful enough to even pose a threat to Guluton. As for whether it can communicate, we will talk about it after we find it.
This plan was quite sinister. Xia Chen thought about it and only took Gulton and Deoxys with him.
Other elves, even Zeraora, might be at risk of being injured.
This is a desolate ultimate world. Injury is a very troublesome thing. With their strength reaching the level of legend, the effect of wound medicine on them is minimal.
The plan drawn up by Xia Chen was very simple, let Guluton and Deoxys go into the valley to provoke the Paper Swordsmen.
Fight, and then find an individual strong enough to bring out and try to communicate.
Two powerful legendary elves were naturally more than capable of doing this kind of thing. After more than an hour of going back and forth, Xia Chen already had ten paper swords that had lost the ability to fight lying in front of him.
He simply used the power of the waveguide to sense it, and found that the least among them also had the strength of a king.
The energy intensity of two paper swords even reached 0.8 birds, which is equivalent to 0.8 lightning birds.
A true legendary goalkeeper.
Xia Chen didn't care about anything else and just used the ultimate ball to subdue the two strongest ones.
The paper swords brought out later were a bit weak. Thinking about it, even in a valley where paper swords are rampant, having two legendary individuals is already the limit... no, it should be said to be a miracle!
In the earth world, let alone a legendary group, having a king-level individual would be considered a high-profile achievement.
Since the Dark Age, the ultimate world has fallen into a state of desolation and lack of resources. How can there be so many powerful ultimate beasts?
Xia Chen was a little confused.
But his intuition told him that it might have something to do with the mysterious existence that contaminated Ultimate Necrozma.
…………
"Even for that reason, there is something unusual about this valley."
Therefore, Lutton expressed his opinion after surveying: "The hardness of the rocks here is surprisingly high, and I can sense an... unusual energy."
It added: "It's something I've never felt before, kind of like... super stone and tai crystal."
Xia Chen's heart suddenly jumped.
Like super stone and tai crystal, are they radiant stones or Z pure crystals?
The so-called Radiant Stone and Z Pure Crystal are the necessary elf props for using [Z-Move] in the seventh generation of the game.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And [Z-Move] is a special combat system that can greatly enhance the power of a certain move. Its status is the same as Mega Evolution and Dynamax.
Xia Chen didn't deliberately search for it after coming to Alola, but he always kept an eye on this special existence that had never appeared in this world.
Unexpectedly, veins suspected to be Brilliant Stone and Z Pure Crystal were discovered in the Ultimate World right now?
Xia Chen felt a little moved, turned around and asked Deoxys to activate the detection mode.
As a cosmic virus elf, its special frequency light waves have incredible detection capabilities.
Find a vein in the valley that contains special energy. It only takes a little time to do it.
The length of time depends on how deeply the vein is buried.
The detection process went more smoothly than expected. Deoxys wandered in the sky for less than half an hour before returning to Xia Chen. When he came back, he also used his telekinesis to bring a four- to five-meter-diameter missile with him.
Stone.
"The stone was found."
Deoxys smashed the ore on the ground, causing the ground to tremble instantly.
Also thrown to the ground by it was a paper sword. Xia Chen looked at Deoxys with some confusion.
It explained: "It stood in front of the stone, and I knocked it out..."
The expression was somewhat too concise, but fortunately Xia Chen could still understand it.
This means that the paper sword was standing in front of the ore, preventing Deoxys from taking it away, and then it was knocked unconscious and packed up together.
Hey, buy one get one free...
Xia Chen conveniently used the power of the waveguide to detect the energy intensity of this paper sword. It was unexpectedly high. It was stronger than its two 0.8 bird counterparts, and could be rated as a 0.9 bird.
However, what surprised Xia Chen more than his strength was that he did not detect energy like black mist in the paper sword.
This was the first time among all the ultimate beasts he had ever encountered.
…………
All the ultimate alien beasts that Xia Chen has detected before have a special "black mist" in their bodies, more or less, without exception.
He initially concluded that this was an external manifestation of the erosion of the ultimate beasts, and was also the direct cause of their drastic change in temperament.
If this speculation is correct, it may mean that... this paper sword is not mentally contaminated?
The method to verify this conjecture is also very simple, just try to communicate with it.
Xia Chen was not in a hurry to verify it. He first observed the boulder Deoxys brought back.
The boulder is a nearly elliptical spherical shape, and is densely covered with cut marks of varying depths. It is most likely the work of this special paper sword.
The surface of the ore appears gray like ordinary stone, but in certain parts it is severely damaged by cuts and the skin peels off, revealing parts that look like white jade.
The color matches the luster stone...
Xia Chen recalled the information about Brilliance Stone and Z Pure Crystal in his memory.
The positioning of radiance stone is roughly similar to that of key stone, both are universal carriers.
The Z Pure Crystal corresponds to the Super Stone, which can only be used by the corresponding specific elves.
The difference is that each type of super stone has a matching spirit, while Z pure crystals are classified by attributes.
Of course, there are also exclusive Z pure crystals for a few elves such as Pika Z and Eevee Z, just like Gigantamax is to Gigantamax.
The colors of Z pure crystals are different, and they are the same as the corresponding properties. For example, the pure crystals of electric Z are yellow, and the pure crystals of grass Z are green.
The radiant stone is a uniform blue-white color.
So, could this be radiant stone?
Just looking at the appearance, Xia Chen couldn't be sure.
But what is certain is that even if this thing is not radiant stone, it is still a special ore, and it may be related to the fact that the paper sword guarding it is not corroded by black mist pollution, and it is worth studying.
But how to bring it back is a problem.
Although the storage ball is powerful, its capacity is limited and it certainly cannot hold such a large stone.
Xia Chen thought for a while and decided to divide them into several small pieces. Gu Ledun was still the one who made the cut.
The power of the cover god's attack was so terrifying that a paper sword with 0.9 bird strength took an unknown amount of time to crack its shell. Under Gulton's claws, the extremely hard ore went from being intact to shattering.
Used three claws.
The ore was torn into pieces, and Xia Chen was able to see the whole picture.
As expected, similar to the exposed part, the material inside is also almost jade-colored in texture and looks like ice jade, which is extremely beautiful.
Xia Chen used the power of the waveguide to detect a little, and sure enough he sensed a surging strange energy contained in the ore.
He was about to take out the storage ball and put away the gravel when a weak but angry voice suddenly came from his ears.
"Tana! (What did you do to the sacred stone!)"
Xia Chen turned his head in surprise, only to find that the special paper sword had woken up and was cheering him up.
…………
Is it awake?
No, what should be more concerned about is that it is actually communicating with itself?
Xia Chen was shocked. This was the first ultimate beast he had seen that could talk to him calmly.
Hmm...his tone and attitude are not exactly calm, but compared to those with bad tempers and those who want to chop themselves off if they disagree with each other, they are simply a benchmark of civility and politeness.
"You...are actually sane?"
Xia Chen asked in an unbelievable tone.
The paper-like tentacles on the top of Zhi Yujian's head trembled slightly, as if he was unhappy with Xia Chen's words.
It said angrily: "Tana! (Of course I am awake, but you actually broke the holy stone!)"
Xia Chen knelt down and looked at the guy who looked like a five-pointed star folded from paper with a smile.
"I see, didn't you also hit it? There are marks on it from your chops. Who do you have to accuse me? The only difference between us is that I broke it and you didn't."
He said in a matter-of-fact tone: "The reason is that I am stronger than you, that's all."
The ultimate beast like the Paper Edge Sword respects the strong. Xia Chen is confident that his words will not anger it, but will instead bring the distance between them closer.
It doesn't matter even if he is angered, this guy can only use his words now, can he still jump up and chop himself?
As expected, Zhi Yujian's mood calmed down slightly after being choked by Xia Chen.
There are no facial features in the center of Paper Edgeworth's face, only a flat four-pointed star pattern like an "X".
When it was just angry, the four-pointed star on its face almost twisted into a "Y", and it looked quite happy.
At this moment, the four-pointed star rose up into a depressed "^" shape, which seemed to express the emotion of loss.
He must still be sad about the broken "holy stone", but he can't refute Xia Chen's words and can only attribute it to self-blame for not being able to guard it.
Xia Chen couldn't bear to look at it and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, the old one won't go away and the new one won't come. I'll find a bigger piece for you later."
He also wanted to establish a good relationship with this paper sword, which might have the ability to open the ultimate hole, so his tone was very gentle.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Xia Chen was convinced, and Zhi Yujian's mood became more and more stable.
He just whispered: "Tana...(But that's not a holy stone anymore...)"
Xia Chen promised: "Don't worry, I promise to find a piece that is equally hard. Anyway, its meaning is only to serve as a sharpening stone for you."
Zhi Yujian retorted: "Tana! (No, the holy stone is unique. Without it, I will lose myself like those guys!)"
Xia Chen's eyebrows jumped. Sure enough, the reason why the paper sword was not corroded by the black mist was due to the ore that was suspected to be radiant stone!
He calmed down a little and asked Zhi Yujian: "Elaborate."
