A wild mountainous area between Xuizhi Town and Mumu City.
There are normal flat jungles on both sides of the mountain, which can be passed smoothly...but it requires a long detour.
But if you want to get through this section of road the fastest, the shortest route is naturally through the middle of the mountains.
But unlike other mountain tunnels...here, sandwiched in the middle is an abandoned man-made maze valley.
Although it is a completely open-air terrain, the intricate branches of the maze, coupled with the undulating stairs, form a 2.5D maze... Once you enter the valley maze, without a map to guide you, it will be really difficult to get out completely for a while.
.
There are even some passages that lead to surrounding cave tunnels.
At this moment, a young man wearing a blue and purple sportswear was standing at the highest point of this open-air valley maze, overlooking the entire scene.
This is a stepped platform with downward stairs leading in all directions on all sides.
The indifferent Shinji was closing his eyes and concentrating, as if waiting for something.
And standing next to him was an upright dragon-type Pokémon.
The yellow body looks like burning flames, covered with fiery red patterns, and has a long tail of flames that resembles a fire-breathing dragon.
The duck-billed head and the skin above the brow are burning like flames.
Duck-billed Salamander!
This is Shinji's new fire-type Pokémon after he released the little flame monkey.
The duck-billed fire dragon itself has extremely high flame power. It does not need to be like the little flame monkey, and it needs an extreme state to explode all the power.
Now Shinji wants to truly grasp the power of Pokémon in his hands.
call...!
Just as I was closing my eyes to rest my mind, an unknown strong wind suddenly blew from the sky above the entire stone path maze, sweeping away many blades of grass and gravel.
"coming!"
But this strong wind also caused Shinji to tremble and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Wu~!!" "Wu~!!" "Wu~!!"
But I saw more than ten pink-brown Scorpios appearing in the sky at the same time, spreading their gliding wings beside their shoulders to ride on the wind.
Shinji's target is naturally not these Scorpios...
But one of the "large" Scorpios.
This is a huge gray-purple scorpion, with strong double pincers and a slender stinging tail.
It has bright yellow eyes, pointed and slender red ears, and an open mouth with a row of fangs.
In the Scorpio stage, the gliding wings that were just attached to the arms and waist were completely connected and covered the entire back of the body.
"The Scorpion King is finally out!"
Shinji's eyes were fixed, and his heart felt hot.
This abandoned stone labyrinth is home to a large number of Scorpios, as well as the Scorpion King who leads them.
The intricate stone paths, coupled with the obstacles surrounded by mountains... made the group of Scorpios trapped here for a while, making it difficult to leave.
Hoo ho ho...!
The strong wind continued to blow, and the group of Scorpios tried to use the natural updraft to leave this place.
Due to its special terrain, this maze will generate strange and strong air currents at a fixed time.
Seeing that the leader of the Scorpio King was concentrating on riding the wind and waves around him and not paying attention to himself at all, Shinji immediately shouted and attacked:
"Now, duck-billed fire dragon, use big characters to explode..."
As he finished speaking, Xiaozhi's voice suddenly came from the entrance to one side of the maze.
"Hey, isn't this Shinji? By the way, have you seen Xiaogang and Xiaoguang...?"
Xiaozhi walked out of the surrounding tunnels, stood on a low-lying slope, and couldn't help but ask loudly.
In order to take a shortcut and reach Curtain City as soon as possible, the three of them deliberately took the mountain road tunnel in the middle.
As a result, a group of wild rumble stones and rumble rocks were suddenly rolled past, and the three of them were completely scattered in every corner of the cave.
This also completely interrupted Shinji's attack, and he subconsciously turned his head.
"I don't know...don't bother me!"
Shinji replied coldly, and then looked in the direction of the Scorpio King again.
"Geyong...!!"
However, this burst of natural air flow has gradually dissipated. Seeing that this time it is impossible to take advantage of the wind to leave here, the leader Scorpio King waved his giant pincers and directed the Scorpios behind him to sneak back into the maze below, waiting for the next attempt.
Although Scorpio and Scorpio are both Pokémon that can fly.
But this kind of Pokémon usually relies on ultrasound to determine its orientation and flight...
This terrain surrounded by mountains completely destroyed their ultrasonic perception, making it impossible for them to fly out on their own.
Wild Pokémon have their own paranoia. They can clearly see the direction of departure with their eyes, but they still have to choose to use ultrasound.
Just like Groudon a few months ago, relying on physical instincts, he was able to sense the direction of Fangyuan Continent... but he still chose to mindlessly obey the direction of the red orb's induction.
...
"hateful...!"
Seeing that all the targets had fallen and merged with the surrounding terrain, Shinji's expression darkened.
He was about to scold Xiaozhi for disturbing his good deeds, but when he turned around, he found that Xiaozhi had disappeared.
"This guy...!"
Shinji cursed lowly, but quickly calmed down, closed his eyes again, crossed his chest and stood at the highest point, quietly waiting for the airflow to rise again.
He had been in this maze of stone passages for two days, and he was finally able to figure out the rules of the air flow.
He is determined to win this Scorpio King!
As for Xiaozhi, seeing that Shinji seemed very angry, he ran away without realizing it.
"Strange, why doesn't even the power of the waveguide react here...?"
After being separated from his companions, Xiaozhi naturally immediately tried to use the power of waveguide to explore the surroundings.
Buzz buzz...!
But every time his waveguide power just extended out for more than ten meters, he could hear a burst of high-frequency vibrations, which completely disrupted his waveguide power.
There was even more than one, dozens of chaotic ultrasonic waves that bounced and echoed back and forth in this rather closed valley area.
"Is this an ultrasound...?"
Xiaozhi muttered secretly.
Ultrasound is inaudible to normal human ears and can only be felt when he uses the power of waveguides.
It's just that in this tunnel mountainous area, why are there so many messy ultrasound waves?
"Pickup...?"
Pikachu, who was lying on Xiaozhi's shoulder, shook his head.
The ultrasonic waves used by the Scorpions to explore the terrain on a daily basis are naturally different from the ultrasonic waves used in battle. Even as Pokémon, they will not feel anything unusual.
At most I feel my ears are itchy.
After walking out of the edge of the cave tunnel, Xiaozhi also officially entered the maze of stone paths in the valley.
There are intricate forking roads in front of and behind you, making it impossible to tell which side is the exit.
"The decision is yours, Mukeer!!"
Xiaozhi sent out his own Muke bird with a backhand.
