Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 173 Heading to the Earth's Core

Combating aluminum-steel bridges is not a task for Li Shuwen alone.

Li Shuwen planned to ask for everyone's opinions on whether or not to try to undercut the aluminum-steel bridge.

The next day, the flight team's master blacksmith, great blacksmith, and Steelraven gathered together.

Li Shuwen then asked them, "The King said that with my current strength and everyone's combined, we are enough to go toe-to-toe with the aluminum-steel bridge dragon."

"What do you guys think? Should we go and try to negotiate with Aluminum Steel Bridge?"

The Steel-Armored Raven carrying Li Shuwen widened its eyes. "Wait, little sister, you can already fight the Aluminum-Steel Bridge Dragon head-on?"

Li Shuwen nodded.

This boosted everyone's confidence.

"Damn it! Of course we're going to have a go at aluminum-steel bridges!"

"Before, when we couldn't win, we could only run away. Now that we can fight, if we still run away, wouldn't all that hard training and anxiety have been for nothing?"

Li Shuwen was also quite bold, "Since everyone says so, then let's have a fight with Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon!"

Only through fighting can we better survive on this land.

Both the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon and the Sticky Dragon possess the attributes of steel and dragon.

Li Shuwen has a thorough understanding of Steel Dragon.

He not only bred the Gluttonous Dragon, but also personally simulated the Aluminum Steel Dragon.

I have a general understanding of about 60-70% of the power of aluminum-steel bridge jacks.

Even if we can't win, I'm confident I can lead everyone to safety.

Riding on their steel-armored ravens, everyone excitedly circled around in the north, east, and south directions.

I only managed to take down two unlucky Steelix, one strong Aluminosi, and two Bisharp Commanders.

Although Li Shuwen couldn't wait to meet the aluminum-steel bridge dragon.

But the aluminum-steel bridge dragon, which had been moving about the island without restraint, suddenly disappeared.

Li Shuwen had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Back at the mine, Steel-Armored Raven said smugly, "So, the Aluminum-Steel Bridge Dragon is scared because it knows my sister killed General Servant Blade?"

Li Shuwen, however, felt that the disappearance of the aluminum-steel bridge was a sign that something big was brewing!

"Everyone, go back and rest first. I'll go and ask the King if he knows where the aluminum steel bridge dragon is."

When the Great Forger King learned of the disappearance of the Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon, he frowned slightly.

"The aluminum-steel bridge dragon must have gone underground. Although it is safe on the surface, it needs to be underground to become stronger."

"The quality of surface minerals cannot compare to that underground, and there are many experts underground who can better convert the food they eat into power through combat."

The Great Blacksmith King looked at Li Shuwen, "Would you like to come down with me?"

"With your current strength, you're very likely to encounter danger going down there. If you die, you'll use up your resurrection chance before the battle royale begins."

"Resurrection will not wait until the battle royale ends to begin; instead, you will be resurrected immediately after you die, and you only have one chance to revive."

Li Shuwen understood what the Great Forger King meant: if he died now, he would not only miss out on the year of development that would have been given after the battle royale ended.

They will be resurrected immediately and participate in the battle royale in their weakest state.

Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Your Majesty, if someone dies and then cultivates to their current strength, will they still have a chance to be resurrected?"

The Great Blacksmith King nodded. "Alright, although I've never died, I heard from Big Mouth that after she died, she also gained a second chance to be resurrected through cultivation."

"At the start of the battle royale, items that can enhance your strength will first appear at the bottom level, then gradually move upwards, and finally appear on the surface."

One can imagine how powerful the Pokémon that appear on the surface will be.

Li Shuwen was somewhat puzzled. "Your Majesty, doesn't this mean that the Pokémon occupying the lowest level of the Earth always wins?"

The Great Blacksmith King chuckled. "So before the battle royale begins, everyone heads to the lowest level to start fighting for it."

The Pokémon on the island, having trained to the point of gaining the chance to be revived, all possess a sense of pride.

Moreover, there's a chance to be resurrected, so everyone's first thought would naturally be to fight a match first.

There are basically no Voldemort-type characters.

Even Li Shuwen, after a moment's glance, quickly made a decision.

"I'll go down with the King!"

The Great Blacksmith King nodded. "Very good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Say goodbye to your friends, we're leaving tomorrow!

Upon learning that Li Shuwen was going to fight in the dangerous depths of the earth with the King.

Everyone gasped. The Steelraven flapped its wings and said, "Little sister, things down here are much more dangerous than here. Be careful."

The solitary Great Blacksmith gripped her warhammer tightly; she also longed to fight alongside Li Shuwen and the Great Blacksmith King at the Earth's core.

However, the master blacksmith knew that she was still far from being as strong as Li Shuwen.

I can only stay here to cultivate.

However, after Li Shuwen and his group left, the surface, which had been cleared several times by Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon and Li Shuwen, was basically devoid of Pokémon capable of stopping Giant Forger.

She can hunt aluminum steel dragons at will to enhance her warhammer and physique.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

The surface will be the final battlefield. After the battle between the two powerful Pokémon, you can simply collect some Hero Shards to greatly increase the strength of Maxsmith and Corviknight.

After saying goodbye, Li Shuwen found the Great Forger King.

Under the king's guidance, Li Shuwen learned for the first time that there was actually a passage leading underground in the mine.

"We master blacksmiths are not good at digging tunnels, so we need to be familiar with the underground terrain so that we can escape successfully when a crisis comes."

If you can't beat them, run away.

There's nothing shameful about it...

On the basement level, you can see some dragon-headed gophers and giant steel snakes, and aluminum steel dragons are active.

The once terrifying Melmetans, and the swarm of clanging Melmetans, have vanished without a trace.

It didn't die, of course; it went deeper underground.

On the second floor, Li Shuwen finally saw the living Cocodora and Cocodora.

In the distance, I saw a big-mouthed baby that used the big mouth behind its head to eat a whole Cocoa Doraemon in one gulp.

This baby with the big mouth looks somewhat familiar.

Upon seeing the Great Blacksmith, Maw of Bass didn't run away; instead, he approached him.

The Great Blacksmith King explained, "We actually have a better relationship with Mawile than with Corviknight, which is why I caught Mawile to help the territory hatch Pokémon eggs."

Maw of Fowl respectfully said, "Great Blacksmith King, our King is already waiting for you on the third underground level to hunt down that Aggron together."

This Maw of Mouth is very powerful, and is only a hair's breadth away from gaining the ability to revive.

That's right, this is the same Big Mouth Kid who allied with Li Shuwen back then.

Surprisingly, Maw of Fowl actually survived being swallowed by Bosscodora.

When Bosscodora was mentioned, Li Shuwen suddenly remembered something.

The right to resurrect depends on the support of the same race. Bosses eat Bosses, so there's no fear of not being able to be resurrected.

Maw of Fowl explains, "That Aggron was driven mad by the harsh environment here and became incredibly powerful by cannibalizing its own kind."

"Not only Aggron, but Mawile has also been eaten quite a bit by him. The Great King hopes that the Great Blacksmith King can join forces to kill Aggron ahead of time."

Consuming Pokémon of other species results in different compositions due to their different attributes.

There is a conversion rate.

However, when applied to members of the same race, the conversion rate is almost 100%.

Maw of Fowl continued, "Bosscodora is very smart. He only eats Kodora, especially the kind that is about to evolve."

"Leave Cocodora as a seed, and use the other Boss Cocodora as support for resurrection."
