SFS Chapter 101 The Howling Desert (2)
Chapter 101 The Howling Desert (2)
It also has sniper characteristics.
When it hits a vital spot, its power increases dramatically!
Use moves that are easy to hit vital points, along with the Focus Mirror item.
It can frequently deal explosive damage, with every hit a critical strike!
Another similar example is the bee!
"The Dragon King Scorpion has hooks on its arms that have the destructive power to tear a car to scrap metal. It releases venom from the tips of its hooks."
"Because he frequently attacked humans and elves crossing the desert, he was regarded as a demon and feared by people."
He scanned it several times with his phone; it was good, quite good.
While he was still thinking.
The moment this Dragon King Scorpion saw the overlord hippopotamus, it took off running!
It was incredibly fast, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
It was as if it had never existed.
"..."
There was no way around it; hippos were its nemesis, let alone such a large overlord.
With such a strong sandstorm, it's not advisable to pursue them any further.
Ye Kai couldn't help but feel sorry.
Perhaps they just weren't meant to be with the Dragon King Scorpion.
"Do you still think this place isn't dangerous? It seems you know nothing about the Howling Desert."
No one objected, and they continued on their way.
More than three hours have passed.
"Ding!"
I don't know whose phone rang.
Everyone checked and found that they hadn't received the message.
"Stop looking. Most devices don't have a signal in the Howling Desert."
"Only when paired with Magneton can special Pokémon like Metagross receive the signal."
As he spoke, Yushu picked up his phone.
"Recently, the conflict in the Ryan region has intensified, with various organizations engaging in fierce fighting over the powerful elf known as 'Steelfire'."
"The cause of the beast tide outbreak has been identified as the sudden collapse of the secret realm..."
"As of this morning, the number of casualties in this regional conflict has risen to more than 5600."
"The following are images sent back by war correspondents..."
More than 5600 people!
This number is enormous; it's an absolute world-class disaster.
Everyone crowded around to watch the news.
In the video, the crimson film in the sky looks like a shattered mirror.
Wild Pokémon continued to emerge and began to attack the local towns.
Many trainers were unable to land and could only launch attacks from the air to stop the beast horde from advancing.
Rockfall, destructive beams, water cannons...
The various high-powered bombardments continued without pause.
Even so, it could not stop the overwhelming tide of beasts.
Wherever they went, countless people died or were injured!
At the heart of this beast tide is an elf never before seen.
It was surrounded by lava storms of thousands of degrees.
All attacks were blocked by this move.
The video is only 20 seconds long, but it's very clear.
It's Seadra!
His strength is undeniable, but right now, given Ye Kai's abilities...
Crossing this desert is already difficult enough, let alone catching this kind of elf.
Moreover, Heatran is not a poison-type.
"Just take these news reports with a grain of salt; they don't really concern us ordinary people. Even if the sky falls, the League will hold it up."
Yu Shu joked.
The journey was dull and tedious.
Even when they are hungry, they first need to find a hill to block the wind and sand.
Otherwise, you'll just end up with a mouthful of sand.
During the break, everyone chatted idly.
"How many badges did you get?"
Zhao Qian was curious about Yushu's experiences.
"A small badge? If you broaden your perspective, could it be a Level 2 professional trainer?"
Level 2 Professional Trainer?
Ye Kai believed that Yu Shu was a Level 2 professional trainer.
Have 4 Gym Leader level (level 46-60) Pokémon and obtain at least 8 badges.
The strength she has demonstrated has already exceeded level 2.
A level 3 professional trainer needs to have won almost all the official badges of every gym, which shows how difficult that is.
"Big badges aren't so easy to get. Those gym leaders will go all out in the official badge competitions."
"It only took me a year and a half to complete the nine small badges, but it took me many years to complete the big badges!"
"There are only 8 official badges at present."
As she spoke, she proudly lifted her sand-colored cloak, revealing eight exquisite badges pinned to the inside.
Countless trainers like Yushu are stuck between level 2 and level 3 for their entire lives.
Level 1 and Level 2 professional trainers are the backbone of a country or region's fighting force.
Level 3 is extremely rare.
Of course, this was just Ye Kai's thought; saying it aloud would offend some people.
Have you ever considered becoming a dojo master?
Ye Kai changed the subject.
"Gym Leader? Ha, don't be naive. To become a Gym Leader, you need to reach Level 2 Trainer and be certified by the League."
"Then there will be an assessment to see if you are an expert in a certain attribute."
"Most importantly, complete more than three S-level missions assigned by the Alliance."
She inadvertently revealed a huge secret.
3 S-rank missions!
This was something that the general public was unaware of.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but gasp.
An S-level mission is similar to the first-class merit that Ye Kai knew about in his previous life; very few people can live to receive a first-class merit!
This is not only a test of strength, but also requires a great deal of luck.
And it happened three times!!
No wonder the families of these dojo owners are so stable!
So this is the price our ancestors paid!
The brief chat passed quickly.
"We need to get to the only small oasis here before dark, where there's a temporary Alliance checkpoint."
The group had no choice but to keep their heads down and keep moving forward, otherwise the desert, with its extreme temperature difference between day and night, could freeze people to death!
Two and a half hours later.
Led by Hippomon and Magneton, everyone arrived at the small oasis.
This place is quite hard to find; it's hidden near a megalithic site.
It's described as an oasis.
But there were only a few cacti and small patches of grass, and a small lake about the size of a pond.
Compared to these, the alliance checkpoints on the side are much more eye-catching.
"Sister Tree, you're here again. You must have had a good haul."
"It's alright."
Once inside the checkpoint, the staff started chatting with Yushu.
Ye Kai and the others remained silent.
This place is too small.
It's smaller than a public toilet!
There were only two forest rangers dispatched by the alliance.
It's amazing that they were able to persevere in such a harsh working environment.
But despite its simple and unassuming appearance, there was even a lucky egg.
It repeatedly uses its skills to restore all the Pokémon's abnormal statuses and stamina.
Outside the Alliance checkpoints, a large number of Banna Devouring Grasses are stationed.
They roll around like tumbleweeds.
"The Bhāna-devouring grass opens its head and branches to devour its prey. After absorbing all the essence, it spits out the prey and throws it away."
Looking at the description in the encyclopedia, Ye Kai was also amazed by this thing.
Grass-type and Ghost-type, there are quite a lot of them, at least 20... no, no less than 30!
Not only that, there's also the Dream Song Cactus.
He remembered that this thing used to be called "Menggenaiya".
These are all the elves of the two rangers.
Without these combat forces, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for even a day.
The group simply collected some desert-specific tree fruits, rested briefly for three hours, and then continued their journey.
