Chapter 332: The Coin-Bearing Villain and the Changing Times

After the crystallization of the Sand-Eating Castle was dissolved and the crystals turned into light fragments all over the sky, it got angry for a while, but when faced with the bright blue water flowing out of Dragonite's mouth again, it chose to give in and fled into the yellow sand in shame, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

This made Luo Mu, who was just about to take out the Poké Ball and prepare to temporarily capture the Sand Eater and release it again after he and Leihe completed the exploration of the tomb, look dazed for a moment.

You really have no backbone at all, running so fast?

Lei He suddenly said, "How about this, I'll let Pu Pu Pig and Fanshou Snake guard outside, and they can also keep an eye on my SUV."

Obviously Lei He also knew what Luo Mu was worried about.

After all, the two of them were going to enter an underground tomb somewhere near the tilted watchtower later. If the vengeful Sand-Eating Lord returned when they were unprepared, they would most likely be trapped in the tomb.

In order to prevent this from happening, there must be Pokémon on guard outside.

Leihe is very clear about her own positioning.

She only needs to be a tool to crack traps and mechanisms and lead the way for Luo Mu. It is right to leave all the fighting to Luo Mu.

After the emergency was over, Leihe went on to make preparations for the tomb chamber.

Luo Mu planned to continue what he was about to do before, riding on the back of Dragonite to see if there was anything on the top platform of the tilted watchtower.

In addition to some props and skill machines, the top platform of the watchtower in the game will basically refresh a Pokémon named Chaser.

As the noble Pokémon numbered 0999, Treasure Hunter has two forms: Treasure Hunter Treasure Hunter Form, which is born in a treasure chest, and Treasure Hunter Hiking Form, which is born from the passion that seeps into a coin.

The money-seekers on the tower's top platform are all in the form of treasure chests that can be captured, while in various corners of Padiya there are walking forms that cannot be captured.

The Money-Seeking Spirit in treasure chest form is almost unable to move due to the limitations of the treasure chest.

However, the walking form of the Sovereign is rarely discovered because of its agility. Even if a Sovereign is discovered, its keen perception will be triggered and it will choose to run away. Therefore, no one in the Padya area can capture the walking form of the Sovereign.

The walking form of the wealth-seeking spirit always wanders around carrying an ancient gold coin with ancient patterns on its back. In addition, its petite body is only ten centimeters tall and can fit in the palm of a hand.

This form of the Money-Searching Spirit is also nicknamed the Coin-Carrying Man by players.

The moment Luo Mu rode on Dragonite and flew towards the top of the tower.

The little man on the edge of the platform at the top of the tower, Suo Cailing, showed a surprised expression.

"Ding!"

Suo Cai Ling seemed to be frightened by Luo Mu and Kuai Long's actions. He didn't even bother to admire them for defeating the Sand-Eating Castle Lord. He let out a crisp scream and even threw away the gold coins on his body. He ran to a gap on the top of the tower that was exposed to wind and sun in panic and squeezed in skillfully.

The inconspicuous gap, coupled with the petite body of the Treasure Hunter, and even the ghost-type Pokémon's natural ability to hide its breath, unless someone searches carefully here, no one will be able to discover the existence of the Treasure Hunter.

The next second after Suo Cailing hid, Dragonite arrived at the platform on the top of the tower.

Luo Mu did not let Dragonite land on the platform. He just turned over and stepped on the ancient stone bricks, looking around at the environment.

The tilted watchtower was already tilted. It was still okay for me alone, but if Dragonite, a big guy weighing more than 400 pounds, rashly moved around nearby, it would be like the last straw that broke the camel's back and would wipe out the tower's limited life.

Since it is a watchtower, the space on the top platform is naturally very spacious.

Unfortunately, because of the tilt, Luo Mu didn't dare to check the sloping side. Just those shaky edges were scary enough.

After looking around the active area, Luo Mu didn't even see a feather dropped by a passing bird. He sighed. It turned out that the noble illustration number 0999 could not stay on the watchtower forever.

It seems that his plan of collecting ancient gold coins and evolving the noble Illustration Number 0999 Sou Cai Ling into the noble Illustration Number 1000 Sai Fu Hao encountered an obstacle in the first step.

Just at this moment, Lei He below seemed to be ready and was calling Luo Mu to come down, ready to take action.

"Boooo~"

Just as Luo Mu was about to go down, Dragonite, whose night vision was many times stronger than Luo Mu's, pointed at the edge of the downward-sloping half of the platform of the watchtower and shouted in confusion. There seemed to be a coin there?
With a blink of an eye, Dragonite flapped its wings and flew over there. It carefully picked up the gold coin, whose original color could not be concealed even in the darkness, with its slightly fat claws and handed it to Luo Mu like offering a treasure.

Suo Cailing, who was hiding in the gap, realized that he had dropped his gold coins. He wanted to get his precious gold coins back, but because of Dragonite's power that easily defeated Sand Eater, he could only hide in the gap and worry. He could not muster up the courage to leave the gap to get his gold coins back.

"This is."

Luo Mu took the gold coin with ancient shape and pattern from Dragonite and showed a thoughtful look.

After a moment, Luo Mu seemed to know something. He handed the gold coin back to Dragonite and told it to put it back carefully.

Although there is no treasure chest monster, there is a coin-carrying man on the top of the watchtower!
Recalling the character of the coin-carrying man, Luo Mu did not rashly use the gold coins to force the timid opponent to show up. He just asked Dragonite to return the gold coins. After showing a friendly smile somewhere on the edge of the watchtower, he returned to the bottom of the tower and prepared to go down to the tomb with Leihe.

After Luo Mu and Dragonite had left the top of the tower for a while, Suo Cailing carefully poked his head out. After making sure that there was no one outside, he hugged his lost gold coins and smiled happily.

After the joy passed, Suo Cailing remembered the behavior of the human who had just commanded Dragonite.

After a moment's silence, the timid Suo Cailing looked down again, as if looking for Luo Mu.

But besides an off-road vehicle parked not far away, there were only two Pokémon that looked ferocious to Socailing guarding there.

Because of fear, Suo Cailing shrank its body, but it remembered the friendly smile that Luo Mu had given it before, as if he knew that it was in the gap.

Gritting his teeth, Suo Cailing rang "Ding Ding Ding" frantically to cheer himself up. Relying on his innate talent, he quietly climbed down from the top of the tower with the gold coins, passed through the guards of the Spoon Snake and the Pu Pu Pig, and ran into the off-road vehicle.

If I'm not mistaken, that human should return to this big guy.

In the dark passage, the only light was the flashlights held by the two people. Following behind Lei He, Luo Mu looked around with curiosity. After all, everything here was very new to him.

“I didn’t expect the entrance to the tomb to be there.”

Thinking of the entrance to the tomb that Lei He had helped him find, Luo Mu exclaimed that it was an eye-opener.

Originally, he had envisioned that the entrance to the tomb would require entering the interior of the tilted watchtower and passing through the lower level of the tower that was buried deep in yellow sand.

However, Kelehe asked Luo Mu helplessly, if the entrance to the tomb was really connected to the tower body of the tilted watchtower, would it be their turn to explore the tomb?
It must have been visited countless times by other tomb robbers. Even the underpants of the tomb owner might have been stolen, not to mention the target of Lei He's trip - the official notes.

The entrance to the real tomb chamber, like the crystal, is sunken into the yellow sand that makes up this magnificent desert.

If you want to get in there, you not only have to find the right location, but you also have to bring Pokémon that can control the yellow sand, separate the yellow sand in that area, and find a very hidden sand cave.

In order to enter this tomb, Rehe even went to the desert of the Hoenn region, captured an ultrasonic larva to stir the yellow sand, found the sand cave, and swallowed the two of them into the gentle quicksand abyss.

To be honest, if possible, Luo Mu didn't want to experience being swallowed by the whirlpool-like quicksand again.

Even with a mask and protective clothing blocking the view, the body and vision were completely swallowed up by the yellow sand. The feeling of being buried alive was really terrible.

Fortunately, the novel experience of entering the tomb diluted the discomfort in Luo Mu's heart, and it felt quite good to follow the professional Lei He to visit the tomb.

Unfortunately, there is no such saying in this world as "Looking for dragons and dividing gold, look at the mountains, each layer of winding is a level of difficulty". The props that Lei He tinkered with were not gold-grabbing equipment, but detectors, protective clothing, flashlights and so on full of modern industrial technology.
This made the somewhat excited Luo Mu a little disillusioned.

Lei He led Luo Mu in an orderly manner through the intricate tomb passage with countless dead ends.

"Although many tomb robbers in the past would use torches and Pokémon to illuminate the tomb, such behavior could easily lead to the destruction of the entire group in certain special circumstances."

"Just like the so-called dull and ancient atmosphere in a tomb that has been sealed for many years, it is actually the marsh gas that the ancients studied and is sensitive to the energy released by Pokémon."

"It's a different era now! Technology is so advanced that flashlights won't produce any energy fluctuations, and the protective clothing we wear can ensure that we always breathe fresh air and avoid inhaling any germs and toxic gases that may cause illness or poisoning."

Through the communication device built into the protective suit, Lei He, who was deciphering the mechanism with her nimble hands, spoke softly to explain some science to Luo Mu, who looked like he had learned something.

When a clear click sound echoed in this narrow passage, Lei He breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Luo Mu, and smiled slightly: "Behind this door should be the guarding Pokémon, Mr. Champion, the battle is left to you, okay?"
