Pokémon: From Magikarp

Chapter 813: The Flower is Poisonous

"Wuwu...ah, don't come over here!"

Wang Cheng struggled like a drowning man, and after a while he opened his eyes in confusion, his eyes full of fear.

"Am I... am I dead? Is this the underworld?"

Wang Cheng, who had just woken up, looked at the pitch-black cave in front of him. His mind had not yet fully grasped the situation and he muttered to himself.

"That's right, you're already dead. Tell me, what happened? Why did so many people die? Did you do it?"

Just as Wang Cheng was stunned, an extremely majestic voice suddenly sounded behind him. He turned around immediately, but only saw a dark and illusory figure.

For a moment, all the rumors about the afterlife that he had heard before came to his mind. After staying in a Buddhist country like Tyrant for a long time, it was inevitable that he became a little superstitious.

"No... no, it wasn't me. It was all Chen Wencong's fault. He insisted on awakening that terrifying spirit and had no way of controlling and taming it, which led to all this. I'm also a victim!"

Wang Cheng knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He was truly afraid that the other party would pin all the blame on him and send him straight to the eighteenth level of hell. Although he wasn't a good person, it wasn't that bad...

"Oh!"

A muffled sound, like a drumbeat, hit Wang Cheng's body.

"Tell me everything you know, or I will not let you off easily."

Hearing the other party's majestic voice, the panic-stricken Wang Cheng immediately told the other party the news he knew.

"The culprit behind all this is Chen Wencong... He used a strange flower petal to awaken the elf..."

Wang Cheng spoke intermittently.

"But who knew that after waking up, the elf seemed completely unconscious. The backup plan prepared by that idiot Chen Wencong was as useless as paper. It couldn't stop the elf at all. And then...then...the elf attacked us, and I...I died."

Wang Cheng became more and more aggressive as he spoke, and finally he started cursing at Chen Wencong. After all, if the other party had not brought him here, he would not have suffered this disaster.

"What's the origin of that petal you mentioned?"

The majestic voice continued to ask, but Wang Cheng frowned when he heard it. After waking up for a long time, his mind became much clearer, and he slowly realized that something was wrong, but he still told the truth.

"I'm not sure about the details, but it seems like Chen Wencong traded it with... an organization. Oh, and there seems to be something wrong with that petal. It seems to be mixed with some other energy, which caused the elf to go out of control and go berserk."

As Wang Chengzheng was speaking, he suddenly remembered something, frowned and thought deeply, and the scene at that time gradually became clear.

It seemed that the elf did not attack at the beginning, but somehow, the petal burst out a ball of purple energy, which made the elf violent like a barrel of explosives.

Thinking of this, Wang Cheng also roughly understood that the idiot Chen Wencong was probably fooled by Polaris. There must be something wrong with the petals traded. Polaris was trying to trick him to death!

"Mad, Chen Wencong, Polaris, you bastards, you shall die!"

Thinking of this, Wang Cheng couldn't help but curse under his breath.

"You just mentioned the North Star, didn't you?"

Suddenly, a sound exploded in his ears, causing him to shudder and retreat far away. It was then that he realized that this was not the underworld, but the cave he had just been in.

And when he turned his head to look at the place next to him, he gritted his teeth.

The person standing there was not the King of Hell or the devil, but the guy who had humiliated him several times. He was now looking at him with a playful expression. It was obvious that everything that had just happened was the other person's doing.

"You kid..."

"bass!"

Before Wang Cheng could get angry and say anything, Lin Shi had already put a sharp knife to his neck.

"Answer whatever you are asked."

"Gudu."

Looking at Lin Shi's appearance, Wang Cheng swallowed, his body trembled unconsciously, and even his voice became extremely hoarse.

"Yes, it's the North Star. I heard that the purple petal in Chen Wencong's hand was traded with an A-level stronghold, but it seems they were tricked, causing the elf awakened with it to go out of control..."

Wang Cheng was much more obedient this time. He told everything he knew without holding back anything.

"North Star again... It's really haunting us. But in this case, the petals can't be absorbed directly into the petal stem. At least we need to see if there are any problems first."

Hearing this familiar name, Lin Shi whispered to himself with some fear, then slapped Wang Cheng with the back of his sword, and the other party fell to the ground.

"It's done. We'll hand these messes over to the Alliance later."

After letting out a breath, Lin Shi felt much more relaxed, and then looked at the nameless master who was chanting sutras to pray for the souls to be liberated.

"I'm sorry, Master, for making you run all this way."

Lin Shi said politely that he didn't know what was going on here and wanted to find a free thug, but it was obviously not needed.

"Oh, no problem. Sending these deceased people on their way can be considered as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds." Master Wuming smiled gently. He also knew that this group of people were not good people, and he did not have any compassion for the world.

Just like that, the matter of the Lion City Secret Realm finally came to an end. Not long after Lin Shi and Master Wuming went out, they met Bao Tianwang who came to support them in a hurry.

Lin Shi did not participate much in the rest of the things. With Master Wuming around, everyone's focus was almost on him.

This trip to the secret realm was undoubtedly a huge gain for Lin Shi. Apprentice Bear not only gained the power of nature, but also obtained the key props for evolution.

It can be said that as long as the bear apprentice comprehends any scroll, he can directly evolve into a martial arts bear master, and his strength will also see a rapid leap.

Compared to this, there are some issues regarding the petals of the flower stalk.

Life Petal: One of the root petals condensed from the Eternal Flower, it has powerful life force and can restore the Eternal Flower's strength.

PS: The petals have been contaminated due to unknown influences. Please dispel the poison in the flowers before absorbing it.

Wang Cheng was right. There was indeed something wrong with this petal of life. The life force contained in it was contaminated.

The petal's owner, the flower petal pedicel, also sensed something was wrong with the petal, and was quite wary of the toxin. It seemed that even it was not completely sure it could dispel the toxin.

This made Lin Shi think deeply. The rank of the Eternal Flower was no less than that of the legendary elves. The poison that could make it feel so difficult must have an extraordinary origin, and it might even be a divine beast.

But even so, Hua Yeti still expressed confidence that she could give it a try. She was confident that she could eliminate these toxins and purify the petals.

Lin Shi naturally expressed his trust in this, but he also made plans. Unless there was absolute certainty, he would never let Hua Yeti use this petal to lift the seal.

"call!"

When they left the secret realm, it was already dark. The smell of fireworks on the earth gradually became thicker, and the biting cold wind blew, but Lin Shi did not feel the slightest bit of cold.

"Everything is done. I can finally go pick up the elves, and then..."

“Go home for the New Year!”
