Chapter 289 A mighty dragon-type quasi-god, fierce and brutal! You think you can get rid of him with this? The Dark Onix makes its appearance!
In short, the illusion has been dispelled.
Ye Yinchuan gestured for everyone to follow in the footsteps of the Soul-Hooking Eye.
"You child, you're no longer in danger, why are you still so timid?"
Chen Lan, a female researcher with a single ponytail, comforts the little diamond hiding behind her.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan reminded him:
"It's normal for Little Diamond to be scared, because Sable Eye is Little Diamond's natural enemy. The gems on Little Diamond are one of Sable Eye's favorite foods."
"what?"
Chen Lan was surprised, yet found it to be reasonable.
Although she had a small diamond, it was acquired by accident, and she did not conduct sufficient research or investigation into the species and habits of small diamonds.
[Hmm...that makes sense. Small diamonds are gemstones, and the Hookeye likes to eat gemstones, so it matches up perfectly.]
However, those captivating eyes didn't seem to show any particular interest in the small diamonds?
[Maybe it did? At first, it seemed to be drooling over the small diamonds, but we were too scared to notice!]
Are there really that many gems you can eat?
"The food for the Soul-Stealing Eye is not limited to gemstones. Gemstones are essentially minerals, and some ores can be used as substitutes when gemstones cannot be found."
Ye Yinchuan explained to the viewers in the live chat.
[Alright, alright, another money-devouring beast, huh? Should the streamer consider getting one?]
[Feeding gemstones... wow, I can't even imagine how much that would cost!]
Seeing these suggestions in the live stream, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated. Snorlax and Corda Cocoyar were already expensive enough; if he were to get another Sableye, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to save up the little money he earned from his live streams!
However, Sableye's appetite is clearly not as large as Snorlax's, or even its later evolution, Cocoyar. After all, this creature seems to have no evolutionary forms other than Mega Evolution, which means that its size and appetite will not have much room for growth.
"Roar—"
Suddenly, a powerful and majestic roar came from the cave ahead.
The alluring eyes revealed a look of fear.
Everyone was startled and held their breath.
"That cry...it must be some powerful Pokémon! If it's in a cave like this, it sounds like...Garuda!"
Upon hearing researcher Chen Lan's words, Ye Yinchuan's gaze sharpened, and he felt a slight sense of surprise.
"Garuda? Isn't that the unevolved form of Garchomp?"
However, he remained vigilant, because Garchomp was quite powerful, and its unevolved form, Garchomp, was not weak either...
Encountering them in the wild carries a degree of danger.
"Sora! Sora! Sora!"
Then came the sound of something running quickly, its footsteps echoing across the ground, and it rapidly approached this direction...
"Put away the small diamonds!"
Ye Yinchuan seemed to have thought of something and urged Chen Lan to speak.
Chen Lan immediately did as Ye Yinchuan instructed, because she understood his intention.
What do you mean? Are you worried that small diamond fragments will hold you back?
It seems that Garchomp likes shiny things and collects them to take back to its lair, hence the small diamonds...
[Good heavens, is this little diamond a combination of Tang Sanzang's flesh and a succubus's body? It's so sought after!]
Before long, a figure appeared in the passage ahead, just as Chen Lan had predicted; it was a Garchomp.
This wasn't the first time Ye Yinchuan had seen a Garchomp.
Its appearance can be summed up in one sentence: it's like a shark that has become a dragon, and it can even walk on land.
But this red and blue color scheme, along with the shark fin and white bone spur design, is always cool no matter how many times you see it.
"roar!"
When Garchomp encountered this group of unfamiliar creatures, including the Sableye, which it disliked the most, it let out an angry roar—a warning.
[Terrifying! This Garchomp is ferocious!]
Imagine how desperate you would feel if you encountered this alone in the wild.
[These aggressive Pokémon are so annoying!]
Ye Yinchuan remained calm, knowing that even if a direct confrontation did occur, their temporary team could handle it with ease.
Oh, or rather, he could handle it all by himself.
"What should I do... Sableye ate all my gems just now. Otherwise, if I just gave Garchomp some sparkly things, it would be in a good mood and avoid a conflict!"
The raw stone that Chen Lan carried had other uses.
Ah Kai was also helpless:
"If all else fails, I'll have to fight. It happened so suddenly, and I didn't have any gems on me."
[Just do it! There are so many people, what's there to be afraid of!]
[The Garchomp is being disrespectful, so teach it a lesson and show it not to make unnecessary noise!]
The viewers in the live chat loved to watch the drama unfold.
Ye Yinchuan extended a hand, signaling Akai not to act rashly and Chen Lan not to panic.
He walked forward calmly, one hand in his pocket, already clutching something.
"Could it be that he was carrying jewels?"
The next moment, Ye Yinchuan opened his palm and shone something on it with the flashlight above his head...
The object was perfectly round in shape, with what appeared to be unique spiral patterns inside. It was translucent and crystalline, sparkling under the light...
This is... a glass marble!
"Not a buddy? You're trying to fool Garchomp with this? It's a Dragon-type, and it's incredibly powerful after evolving..."
[6. Aren't you afraid that Garchomp will slap you to death?]
Ah Kai, Chen Lan, and Uncle Zhou all stared wide-eyed, speechless, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Roar!"
However, when Garchomp saw the glass marble in Ye Yinchuan's hand, its eyes lit up with interest.
Ye Yinchuan slowly squatted down and rolled the glass marble toward the Garchomp.
Garchomp carefully picked up the glass marble with its two thick, sharp white toes. After examining it closely, it looked at Ye Yinchuan with some gratitude, and its expression became friendly.
"Roar!"
Garchomp bowed to Ye Yinchuan as if to express his gratitude, and then quickly left in the direction of a cave.
Only after Garchomp had completely disappeared did the others snap out of their daze.
Is it really done?
[Haha, I laughed! This Garchomp is way too easy to deal with!]
Hmm...she changes her expression very quickly too!
Ye Yinchuan calmly explained:
"Gal sharks are quite ferocious creatures. If you accidentally enter their lair, you'll be torn to pieces by their sharp claws and teeth once you're discovered..."
[Terrifying?]
Wow, is it that fierce?
"But if you have something they're interested in on you and give it to them, they'll be in a great mood and become docile and friendly... However, considering individual differences in personality, it's still advisable not to approach them rashly. Just do what I do and give them the shiny things from a distance."
Ye Yinchuan added that
"Some people may misunderstand that Garchomp only likes sparkly things like diamonds and jewelry, but in reality, they often cannot distinguish between good and bad quality, so even glass beads can serve as a substitute."
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, Chen Lan behind him fell into a deep silence.
She has done some research and has some understanding of Garchomp.
But she never imagined that glass beads could neutralize the Garchomp's hostility...
Then what about those precious gems she threw at Garchomp back then?
Amidst a slight sigh, her gaze towards Ye Yinchuan grew increasingly respectful.
I couldn't help but wonder what this young man's identity and background were. He was clearly a few years younger than me, yet he seemed to know everything.
And it's not that they pretend to know what they don't; they genuinely do know.
With just a slight gesture, one can sense the breadth of his knowledge and the richness of his experience!
Not to mention Chen Lan and the others, even the way the Soul-Hooking Eyes looked at Ye Yinchuan, although different from humans, could still be seen as a bit of respect and longing!
The minor crisis was easily resolved.
The group continued forward.
"What is that sound...?"
Ye Yinchuan soon heard what sounded like machines operating.
They quickened their pace to catch up.
But the Soul-Hooking Eyes was even more impatient, rushing forward in a blur of leaps and bounds.
"Hehehe!"
The bewitching eyes are calling.
"Hehehe!"
On the other side, a similar response came.
"Is there more than one 'soul-stealing eye'?"
Everyone except Ye Yinchuan finally belatedly learned of this information.
Once we caught up, the situation finally became clear.
It appeared that some kind of device had been set up here, forming a special laser cage, imprisoning the other Soul-Hooking Eye here.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
The one with the bewitching eyes was larger and seemed older. Apart from that, although they looked similar, there were actually some differences in the patterns on their bodies...
This is because the quantity and type of gemstones consumed vary.
Just like no two trees have the same tree rings, it's the same principle.
"Hehehe!"
The leading Soul Reaper rushed to the imprisoned Soul Reaper. The two Soul Reapers tried to make contact, but the moment they touched the laser cage, they were repelled by the energy shock. Smoke rose from their hands, and they were clearly injured.
"I think I understand."
Researcher Chen Lan reasoned,
"These two Soul Reapers are most likely related as parent and child. The Shadow Order set up this device here to capture the Soul Reapers, but they only managed to capture the older one."
The younger Soulseeker trapped us to free the older Soulseeker… because once we leave, it won't be able to open the device on its own!
[That girl is so clever!]
Wow, that's amazing!
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but nod; Chen Lan's reasoning was pretty accurate.
And he, who already knew the answer, could further verify that she was right.
Of course, the situation is not complicated and not too brain-intensive.
"So, we just need to rescue this old, bewitching-eyed creature, right?"
Akai's gaze swept over the device, already pondering how to destroy it.
Uncle Zhou also seemed lost in thought, but he remained silent, perhaps enduring the pain of his injuries.
Ye Yinchuan also checked it roughly and found that there was no switch on the device that could be turned off, so it was obviously not such a simple thing.
"Should we destroy it directly, or interrogate these Shadow Group members and get them to reveal how to shut it down?"
Akay acted swiftly and decisively.
Uncle Zhou couldn't help but speak up: "No, we can't destroy it directly. This device is designed with anti-theft features. If anyone tries to touch the cage, they will be met with a laser counterattack. If we forcibly destroy it, it will self-destruct!"
The three, including Ye Yinchuan, all looked at Uncle Zhou without prior arrangement.
Uncle Zhou's expression changed: "I've heard that these evil organizations would rather harm others than let others benefit, so it's something they're capable of doing!"
Why does Uncle Zhou seem a bit off this week?
Didn't he already explain?
Forcing an explanation is tantamount to covering it up!
[What the hell is this anti-theft feature? These evil organizations have been stealing chickens and dogs all along, haven't they?]
Chen Lan then made a discovery:
"There seems to be a hidden cover here..."
Ah Kai walked over, gestured for the others to step back, and opened the door after observing the situation.
Upon opening it, a password input device was revealed inside.
"It seems that as long as we know the password, we can open it!"
Ah Kai made a conclusion, but said something pointless.
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan was blocking the Soul-Hooking Eye from continuing to attack the laser cage, so as not to harm himself or trigger the so-called anti-theft mechanism.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to rescue your mother."
[Answerer, how do you know it's the mother? Maybe it's the father?]
[Is the person upstairs a fake fan? If the streamer's identification skills can't even distinguish between male and female, they shouldn't be in the business!]
Under Ye Yinchuan's reassurance, Gouhunyan calmed down a little.
The group hesitated to attempt it lightly and ultimately decided to wait until they had interrogated the captured Shadow Gang members to learn how to open the mechanism before making a further plan.
However, at that moment, the cave began to shake violently.
[Was there an earthquake?]
Ye Yinchuan had keen senses; he could feel that some enormous Pokémon was moving underground nearby and approaching them at an astonishing speed!
"Watch out on the left!"
Ye Yinchuan reminded everyone.
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of the wall shattering was heard, and a large rock snake, not very big but with a dark body, a metallic sheen, a ferocious face, and a terrifying aura, burst out of the ground!
A member of the Shadow Creatures stood prominently atop the giant onyx!
This person wore a dark purple scarf and had thick bangs, revealing almost only their nose and eyes, their gaze sweeping over their surroundings.
"Hmph, they're all useless trash, I had to personally intervene... Oh? I didn't expect some ants to get in my way... Remember my name, in the near future, I will be the man who surpasses Night Owl—the Dawn Eagle who pierces the darkness... Owl Breaker!"
Upon hearing this opening remark, Ye Yinchuan raised an eyebrow.
Are the villains in this Pokémon world really that dramatic? This smells kind of authentic!
Who is this?
[Po Xiao... seems to be the young master of the Shadow Gang, Night Owl's son!]
[Alright, alright, more late-night snacks and that broken bird, you've really made me laugh!]
Is this giant onix a different color? It seems quite unusual!
Discussion via live chat.
Ye Yinchuan and the others were in a state of utter panic.
They were already at a loss trying to rescue Soul Reaper, and now the son of the Shadow Squad leader has suddenly appeared, seemingly riding an incredibly powerful and special giant rock serpent. This is really troublesome!
"Come forth, mantle rock!"
Facing a Rock-type opponent, Kai thought Arcanine would be difficult to deal with, so he sent out the newly evolved Mantle Rock.
As soon as Mantle Rock came up, it activated the Power Gem and launched a fierce attack on Onix and Owl.
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan also had the cotton ball use "Help" to enhance the power of the mantle rock's attack.
However, the countless gem-like energy beams that bombarded Onix and Owl were easily blocked by Onix alone, without causing any damage!
"I have no time to waste with you! This young master is going to conquer the world! I'll take this Sable Eye! Onix, let's go!"
With a command from Po Xiao, the giant rock serpent beneath him continued forward, charging out at an astonishing speed, almost unstoppable.
Everyone and the Pokémon could only give way.
However, at that moment, the laser cage was suddenly unlocked!
"Rock Owl! You're Rock Owl's older brother! Damn it! Why did you do this?!"
Po Xiao then realized that the one who unlocked the laser cage was none other than Zhou Moyan, also known as Uncle Zhou from Chen Lan's team!
Freed from the laser cage, Old Souleye let out an angry roar:
"Hehehe!"
A terrifying energy was spreading outwards from it, and its gem-like eyes were releasing terrifying demonic light, blasting towards Po Xiao.
Caught off guard, Po Xiao was hit directly and let out a scream.
"Onix! Go! Take me with you!"
Rumble!
This large, jet-black rock serpent rolled its body rapidly, squeezed through the rock wall beside it, and escaped underground at an astonishing speed!
"You think you can just show off and leave?"
Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred, and he quietly activated [Shadow of the Overlord], his target being none other than the giant rock snake under Po Xiao's command!
