Chapter 326 The Four Great Disaster Treasures
Luo Mu looked helplessly at Lei He and the gray fox beside her, who had clearly entered the hot desert but were not dressed professionally at all.

Zoroark.
It's not a legendary Pokémon, but it has its own exclusive theatrical version and is a rare Pokémon with a lot of fanfare.

Although Zoroark is quite handsome, if Luo Mu were to choose, he would probably choose the smaller Zoroark or the different-colored Green Washed Zoroark.

These two furry balls must be so healing to hug.

"Teacher Leihe, why are you here?"

While asking, Luo Mu searched his mind for his impression of Lei He.

He remembered that Leihe was one of the new teachers recruited by Orange Academy after the Qinglang Operation. She taught history, was proficient in ancient characters, and had a great curiosity about the legends circulating in past history.

In fact, Luo Mu had dealt with Lei He several times in the academy, but it was basically Lei He who came to look for Luo Mu unilaterally.

She wanted to learn about the legend of Asia Island from Luo Mu. As a trainer who had faced the God of Fire, the God of Thunder, and the God of Ice, and had walked side by side with the God of the Sea, Luo Mu must know many details that were not revealed on the TV shows.

It's a pity that Luo Mu didn't take the normal route to pass the level at all. All the running errands were left to Satoshi, Professor Oak and Lugia, and Luo Mu just focused on fighting. It was cool.

Moreover, Luo Mu's memory of the legend of Asia Island in the movie has faded a lot. He only knows that the three legendary birds and Lugia are closely related to the world's climate.

Maybe Leihe will ask Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi knows more than Luomu.

After several attempts, Lei He realized that she could not get any unique information from Luo Mu, so she had no choice but to give up and stop pestering Luo Mu.

It seemed that she also remembered the previous contacts, but Lei He did not show any sign of embarrassment. She shrugged her shoulders and seemed a little aggrieved: "I helped you drive away those Dream Song Cacti that followed you, and I came here excitedly to ask for praise, but you spoke to me so coldly, it's really sad~"

".So it was you who did it." Luo Mu sighed, his eyes fell on Leihe's Zoroark. It seemed that it was this Zoroark that repelled the group of Mengge cacti with evil attributes against evil attributes. It seemed to be very powerful. "You should know that they are not a threat to me."

"I appreciate your kindness."

"Tell me, what was your purpose in doing all these things to show your kindness to me? You only realized who I was when you got off the car, right?"

"You are so sharp. It's so comfortable to deal with smart people." A hint of surprise appeared on Lei He's face, and then quickly turned into a smile. "Yes, I was attracted by your ability, but I didn't expect to win the jackpot directly."

Since they were colleagues in the same academy, Lei He no longer planned to hide it.

He simply said that he saw from afar that Luo Mu used a certain Fire-attribute Pokémon to intimidate a group of domineering Kentaro, and thought that Luo Mu was quite powerful, so he chose to follow him from a distance using the footprints of the Heavy Mud Horse to observe him, and finally planned to use the group of Dream Song Cacti as a token of allegiance to contact this powerful trainer.

But he didn't expect that this trainer was actually an acquaintance of his.

".You didn't even know who I was, and you just followed me from a distance all day? Where's your portable telescope?"

Luo Mu was speechless for a moment. Was Lei He's heart a little too big?
She must have been engaged in tomb robbing in the past. Shouldn't she be incredibly meticulous?

"I lost it by accident. It's not easy to meet a person with good strength in this vast desert. To be honest, I have been wandering in the hot desert for a few days."

Lei He's eyes fell on the heavy mud horse that was lying on the sand to rest near the campfire behind Luo Mu, and the Dragonite beside it.

It seems that the fire-attribute move was released by Dragonite. If it was Dragonite that defeated the God of Fire, the power of the move is reasonable.

"Forget it, let's sit down by the campfire first and talk slowly."

After all, they were colleagues, so Luo Mu directly invited Lei He to warm up and take a rest by the campfire. After all, the other party had been driving for more than ten hours in a row.

This is indeed the case. At this moment, the corners of Lei He's eyes were a little sore due to fatigue, and her body also issued an alarm that it needed rest.

"Thank you."

After saying thank you, with the help of Zoroark, Leihe sat in front of the campfire, leaning on the reliable gray fox.

But she did not forget her purpose. She forced herself to continue speaking, but was "blocked" by a warm sandwich handed to her by Luo Mu.

"Eat, I'm a little tired today, so I didn't cook."

".Thanks."

Leihe took the sandwich, broke the other half to Zoroark, and started eating it in small bites.

The sandwiches prepared by Luo Mu were full of fillings and the bread remained soft. They tasted very good. It was a luxury to be able to eat such food in this hot desert.

Not everyone can afford space equipment, let alone Luo Mu, who revealed in his words that he even brought a set of cooking equipment, but did not take it out because he was tired.

If you don't know, you might think they are here for a picnic instead of exploring the desert. Seeing that Leihe and Zoroark had almost finished eating, Luo Mu handed them another bottle of water that he hadn't opened yet.

Leihe took it and first helped Zoroark, who had just fought a fierce battle, to replenish his water, and then drank the remaining half bottle herself.

Her throat suddenly felt much moister. Lei He smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to do that. I have drinking water and dry food in the trunk of my car."

"Just as a thank you for helping us drive away the Dream Song cactus group?"

Luo Mu placed extra emphasis on the word "help".

Lei He covered her mouth with one hand, looking helpless: "That won't do. If that happens, my plan will be ruined. How can I invite you to help me?"

After Lei He finished speaking, silence filled the air. It was a long while before Luo Mu spoke.

"What do you need a powerful trainer to help you with?"

"Your Zoroark was able to defeat such a large group of Dream Song Cacti even though its attribute attacks were not very effective. It must be quite powerful, right?"

As if he was praised by Luo Mu, Zoroark's ears twitched and his sitting posture became more upright.

"We can't deal with those guys with just this level of skill." Leihe shook her head and looked directly at Luo Mu. "I want you to help me investigate a ruin buried deep under this scorching desert. There are powerful Pokémon guarding it. Zoroark and I can't break through their defenses."

Luo Mu frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face: "Ruins. What kind of ruins are those?"

Luo Mu recalled the source of the treasure hunt in the Hong Hong Desert, the rumor about the treasure of the last Padya emperor.

Did Leihe believe the rumor and plan to look for the treasure in the hot desert?
"Uh, do I have to say this?"

Leihe was a little embarrassed. If possible, she didn't want to expose what she was doing before.

But seeing Luo Mu's firm attitude, Lei He knew that if she didn't say anything, she would definitely not get Luo Mu's help. She could only sigh and put her hands together: "Don't tell other colleagues."

"In fact, I'm investigating a legend from the era of the Padya Empire, about a merchant who sold four treasures brought from the East to the king of the time."

"I am still not sure about the authenticity of that story, but buried under this scorching desert is the tomb of an official who witnessed the entire transaction. Perhaps I can find relevant clues through the notes he left behind to verify my guess."

"But that person held a very high position in the Padya Empire at the time, and in ancient times, artificial Pokémon called Clay Giants were usually placed in tombs for guarding. Frankly speaking, based on my experience, the Clay Giants in that tomb are extremely powerful."

"That's too powerful for a semi-civilian worker like me to match, so I had no choice but to turn to you."

Luo Mu: "You are so familiar with the process, were you a tomb robber before?"

Lei He grinned and said, "Don't say that. This is not called tomb robbing. This is called contributing to the development of world archaeology. We just have to enter ancient ruins and tombs for investigation."

"You know, now that I've gotten clean, I won't do those things again."

"What's more, I now have an archaeological certificate issued by the Padya Alliance, and I am also a legitimate archaeologist."

Seeing Luo Mu's resistance after hearing about the tomb robbery, Lei He quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "You just need to help me suppress the clay giant guarding the tomb. I will remove all the traps inside. Apart from the notes used for historical research, I will not take any valuable items from the tomb."

"And I will pay you the corresponding compensation, is that ok with you?"

Luo Mu knew that Lei He was investigating the four disaster treasures, and her behavior existed as an important branch in the game.

Leihe's promise is quite sincere, however.
"I have my own things to deal with. I'm sorry I can't accept your commission."

Luo Mu finished speaking, Lei He's expression had not yet completely turned into a disappointed one, Luo Mu continued: "However, if you are willing to wait for a day, it is not impossible for me to go with you to take a look. Frankly speaking, I am also very interested in that ancient history of the past."

"As for the commission fee, forget it. I think it's better not to involve money in this matter."

"So, regarding your goal, where is it specifically?"

After so many ups and downs, Lei He felt like her heart was about to jump out.

Fortunately, Luo Mu agreed to her invitation. It was just a matter of waiting for one day. There was still some time before the end of summer vacation, so she could afford to wait.

Thinking of this, Leihe nodded slightly, stopped stroking Zoroark, picked up a branch and started painting on the sand.

"We're going to this leaning watchtower in the middle of the baking desert."
