Chapter 783 Underground World
Rada acted quickly, knocking down all the unknown totems in just a few moves. Everyone took the opportunity to escape along the passage.
The entire secret passage spiraled downward, and along the way, the two special unknown totems pursued them relentlessly, using their awakened power to attack everyone.
That "?" unknown totem can even transform its awakening power into an energy blade and fly towards everyone.
"Da Chao Beibi, use wide-area defense!" Piao Tai shouted hurriedly.
A big chibi flew out of his Poké Ball and released a transparent shield from the top of its head, blocking all the energy blades.
"Take advantage of this opportunity, Tree-Pillow Bear, use the mallet!" Hao seized the opportunity and decisively sent Tree-Pillow Bear to fight.
The half-asleep Tree Pillow Tail Bear waved the huge sleepers, destroying the surrounding walls. A large amount of bricks and stones fell down, blocking the entire passage. The two unknown totems were trapped on the other side and could not catch up with the crowd for a while.
Everyone seized the opportunity and continued running along the passage, and finally saw the light at the end of the passage.
"It's fire! We may have found the exit!" Everyone was overjoyed and quickened their pace as they ran towards the fire.
When they walked out of the passage, they found themselves in another tunnel. Unlike those dark tunnels in the ruins that required flashlights to illuminate, the tunnel here was brightly lit, with torches everywhere, as if someone was always using it.
"Judging from the layout here, we should have entered the underground world." Piao Tai adjusted his glasses and analyzed.
"Underground world? What is that?" Among the people present, only Hao did not know about the existence of the underground world, so he immediately asked everyone curiously.
"The Underground World is a special world that only exists in the Sinnoh region," Yang Ming explained to his apprentice. "Sinnoh's extremely rich mineral resources led to a gold rush for many years. People dug many tunnels underground in search of various rare minerals like Evolution Stones and Pokémon fossils. Over time, these tunnels gradually formed a vast underground network, which is now the Underground World."
"This underground network is so vast that it's almost like another world in the Sinnoh region. The rules here are different from those on the surface. The Sinnoh League and the Champions have no control over this place, and even the currency used for transactions is different from that on the surface."
"In the underground world, money is equivalent to waste paper. People here only use an item called 'jade' to trade. The transaction value varies depending on the quality of the jade. Some rare jades are worth much more than others."
"Of course, since the underground world isn't bound by the alliance, murder and robbery are very common here. So we must be cautious and not trust anyone here easily even if we meet them."
After listening to Yang Ming's introduction, Hao suddenly understood. The others looked at Yang Ming with admiration.
"Mr. Yang Ming is truly knowledgeable," Piao Tai praised. "To be honest, even someone born and raised in Sinnoh wouldn't know as much about the underground world as you do."
Hyota's reputation can be said to be quite high, because his family originally made its fortune in the underground world and eventually became a local snake force in Shenao that controlled both the black and white worlds.
"Hmph, you know quite a lot," even Cattleya, who had been bickering with Yang Ming, couldn't help but comment, "As my ally, you're barely qualified."
Who wants your approval? Yang Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"But there's something strange," excavation expert Taro suddenly interrupted. "If I remember correctly, the tunnel beneath Suiyi Town shouldn't have been excavated yet. So what's the deal with the tunnel we're in now?"
This question made everyone's heart sink. After all, Taro had accidentally dug through the Suiyi Ruins in order to dig a tunnel to Suiyi Town, so this tunnel clearly shouldn't exist.
"Indeed, judging by the dampness of the soil, this tunnel must have been newly dug," Hyota took some soil, held it to his hand, and smelled it. "And it may have been excavated even more recently than Mr. Taro did."
This sentence made everyone's faces even uglier: Taro was already an excavation expert in the Sinnoh region, but the other party could actually dig a new tunnel at a faster speed and in a shorter time. This was obviously not something that one person and a few Pokémon could do.
The organization that could dig out such a tunnel might be an organization.
Just then, a noisy sound came from the distance.
"Haven't you dug it through yet?"
"Alas, many people have died when we forced our way into the ruins before, so we have to find a different route to get in."
"So we need to get more people to help us dig the tunnel."
When Yang Ming heard the word "ruins", he felt uncertain: Could it be that these people had forced their way into the ruins and ultimately returned empty-handed?
Thinking of this, Yang Ming immediately signaled everyone to stay close to the wall to avoid being discovered by the other party.
The sound came from far away, and soon they saw two men in miners' uniforms approaching.
"How are the new guys doing?"
"He's not very obedient yet. He should behave himself after he's been hungry for a few meals."
"Speaking of which, why aren't there any women among these people? I've been holding it in for so long, can't I just have some sex?"
"If you don't agree, just hold it in. Even if there are women here, it's not our turn to enjoy them."
"That's right, hahahahaha..."
After the two men walked away, Yang Ming and others stuck their heads out.
"It seems there are some big secrets in this tunnel," Yang Ming whispered. "I'm planning to sneak into their group and need two people to help me. Are there any of you willing to come with me?"
"Me!" Cattleya was the first to raise her hand.
"Forget it," Yang Ming rejected it on the spot. "Didn't you listen to what those two guys said? They've been hiding underground for a long time. They're like a pack of wolves and tigers. A young lady like you who's naive about the world will probably be targeted on the first night."
"Do you think I'll be controlled by these minions?" Cattleya crossed her arms and looked nonchalant. "I can take care of a small villain like this in a snap."
"Wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing the target?" Yang Ming was speechless. "In short, only men can handle this mission."
In the end, Yang Ming chose to let Taro and Kebin act with him, while Hao, Hyota and Cattleya were responsible for supporting them from a distance.
Cattleya was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, and in the end Yang Ming had to coax her for a long time like a child before she agreed to this plan.
"I have to tell you in advance that you must return intact," Cattleya repeatedly warned. "If you dare lose even a finger, I will never let you go."
"Don't worry. I'm the King of the Island, a man who crawled out of a pile of corpses. How could I possibly be controlled by such a small fry? Just wait for good news."
After Yang Ming and others left, Cattleya quietly took out her cell phone.
"Hello, it's me. Come to Suiyou City now and help me keep an eye on 'him'..."
