Chapter 811 Water will only make me stronger!
The Ice Vulpix was left with Kaikou to be cared for, while Li Shuwen and the other two returned to Pumpkin Town as quickly as possible to report the situation.
Chansey's expression turned serious. "I understand! I'll deal with this first. I can only put the issue of your expedition team's promotion last."
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild, Chansey rang the bell.
The deep, resonant sound of the bell echoed throughout the entire town.
"The Ice Crystal Cave is in crisis and needs to issue an A-level joint mission! All teams of B-level and above are welcome to participate!"
"Expedition teams willing to accept the mission, please have your team leaders enter and learn about the mission details!"
Rank A missions are rare. Captains of various expedition teams rushed out of the training grounds, taverns, and homes, excitedly heading towards the guild hall.
A Macho Captain clenched his fist, his muscles bulging.
"An A-rank mission! It's finally here! We, the Iron Fist Team, have been waiting for this for so long!"
A fiery monkey captain tumbled in, yelling, "Haha! The rewards from an A-rank mission are enough to feed us for half a year!"
A lizard king captain leaned against the doorframe, his gaze calm. "Ice Crystal Cave? Interesting."
A Growlithe captain wagged its tail, its eyes gleaming with fighting spirit. "A joint mission? Perfect for me!"
Seven or eight team leaders surrounded Chansey's counter, asking questions about the mission details.
Jili Egg patiently answered all the questions.
Soon, several teams accepted the mission and hurriedly headed to the Ice Crystal Cave with at least ten members each.
Li Shuwen then found Chansey. "Chansey, can we take this quest?"
"We just came back from the Ice Crystal Cave, and we even rescued an Ice Vulpix on the second floor. We know the situation very well and can definitely help everyone."
Chansey shook its head apologetically. "You are brave, but there are only three of you. Such large-scale missions require a high level of strength and a large number of personnel."
"You have been promoted to C-rank, and there are now many C-rank missions that need to be carried out."
Li Shuwen immediately changed his approach. "Okay, we'll take a C-level mission. Please give us the mission that will allow us to advance to B-level the fastest."
Chansey nodded. "There's a mountain spring in Pingguo Village to the west, but it's been taken over by an outside Pokémon. The Pokémon in Pingguo Village have to pay money to release the water."
"Your mission is to drive that Pokémon away. If you can catch it and send it to Pumpkin Prison, it will count as three C-rank missions."
Li Shuwen's eyes lit up. "Okay, this is the task!"
The three of them went to Pingguo Village.
On the way, Green Vine Snake asked, "Captain, do you think this A-level joint mission won't end so quickly? If we can reach B-level before it ends, we can take on missions and participate?"
Li Shuwen nodded. "That's right. Even if we arrive late and don't get much of the reward, at least we'll have an A-level mission added to our mission record."
The little fire monkey waved its fist.
"Our boss is really amazing! Even B-rank missions in Pumpkin Town are fiercely contested, let alone A-rank missions!"
In Pingguo Village, they were received by the village chief, Galer the Pony.
"My daughter will take you to the spring. Thank you."
Before the words were even finished, a vibrant little rainbow-colored Pony rushed out. "Leave it to me!"
On the way, Rainbow Pony was indignant.
"Actually, I'm capable of driving that guy away. But Dad said it was too dangerous, so he paid the Adventurers' Guild to handle it."
At the spring, a Dream Song cactus was lazily soaking in the water, with several bags of gold coins piled up beside it.
Upon seeing Li Shuwen and the other two, he snorted disdainfully.
"You think you can kick me out?"
Without saying a word, the Green Vine Snake jumped out and launched an attack.
The vine whip lashed at the Dream Song Cactus like lightning, sending him flying out of the spring and crashing into the rocks behind him.
The Dream Song Cactus angrily crawled out of the rubble.
"Young people these days have no sense of martial ethics!"
The Green Vine Snake ignored it.
"There's no need to talk about martial ethics with a scumbag like you!"
The iron tail lit up, and it charged forward again.
Suddenly, the Dream Song Cactus swung its arm, and a dark light that could strike vital points gathered on its fist. With a backhand punch, it sent the Green Vine Snake flying.
The green vine snake tumbled twice in the air before sliding several meters when it landed.
Li Shuwen gave the order: "Little Flame Monkey, Flame Wheel!"
Flame Monkey's body bursts into flames as it spins at high speed and crashes into Dream Song Cactus.
Dream Song Cactus was knocked away, its body engulfed in flames.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the green vine snake wrapped its vine around the snake and lashed out repeatedly with its iron tail.
The Dream Song Cactus was knocked away and rolled into the spring.
Spring water flowed into his body, and a green light shone from his wounds.
The Dream Song Cactus's aura began to rise, its eyes filled with smugness.
"Water will only make me stronger!"
The Dream Song Cactus stood in the center of the spring, its seed machine gun spewing from its mouth, while simultaneously condensing an energy ball in its hand and firing it.
Bullet-like seeds and energy balls rained down, forcing the little fire monkey and the green snake to retreat repeatedly.
Rainbow Pony looked anxiously at Li Shuwen. "Aren't you going to go help?"
Li Shuwen smiled slightly. "Right away."
His body glowed with golden electricity, charging. The current accumulated within him, growing stronger and stronger, and the air was filled with the acrid smell of ionization.
His hair stood on end, and his eyes seemed to spark with electricity.
Once charging was complete, he raised his right paw and struck thunder!
A thick, golden bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the spring precisely.
The cactus stood in the water. Water is a good conductor, and the electric current was conducted through the spring water, instantly paralyzing him.
The Dream Song Cactus twitched in the water, and the Seed Machine Gun and Energy Ball scattered.
Li Shuwen rushed across the water, his right fist retracting to his waist, a dense white light condensing on the tip of his fist.
True Qi Fist. The light was as solid as a small sun.
He threw a punch, which landed squarely on the chest of the Dream Song Cactus.
The force of the punch passed through his body, and Mengge Cactus's body flew more than ten meters like a kite with a broken string, crashed to the ground, slid several more meters, rolled his eyes back, and completely lost consciousness.
There was a clear fist mark on his chest, and the skin around the fist mark was intact.
The power was controlled to the extreme.
The little rainbow pony's eyes are shining.
"That punch you just threw was so cool! Can I join your expedition team and go on an adventure with you?"
Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Of course, we welcome everyone to join us."
Back in Pingguo Village, the village chief, after hearing his daughter's words, firmly disagreed.
"It's too dangerous. I can't let you take that risk."
Li Shuwen didn't say much and walked to a huge rock at the entrance of the village.
That rock was twice his size, and weighed at least several hundred kilograms.
He took a deep breath, his right fist glowed white, and he unleashed his True Qi Fist once more.
The punch landed on the boulder, but there was no loud noise, only a muffled "thud".
The boulder began to crumble from the point of impact, turning into countless tiny powders that fell in a flurry, piling up on the ground.
The village chief's eyes widened, and his mouth gaped open.
Li Shuwen withdrew his fist and said calmly, "Village Chief, I think this is enough proof that our expedition team can guarantee your daughter's safety, isn't it?"
The village chief swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly. "Alright! Alright! Go ahead!"
Rainbow Pony was so excited that it jumped and bounced around.
"Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Captain!"
The little Chimchar patted its chest. "Don't worry, Village Chief! Our boss is a powerhouse who can knock out even Sandslash with one punch!"
The Green Vine Snake shook its head helplessly, but a smile played on its lips.
Li Shuwen looked towards the direction of the ice crystal cave in the distance.
Those A-level expedition teams should have already entered the cave.
He needs to hurry up and advance to Rank B, then participate in the operation against Dr. Squid Wheel.
Professor Squid Wheel, an evil scientist in Pokémon, is someone that piqued Li Shuwen's curiosity.
