Perhaps now is a good opportunity.
We can talk about... topics other than Pokémon battles and wilderness survival.
Some more personal topics.
She opened her mouth, and a syllable was just beginning to form in her throat.
Just at this moment.
Lin Che, who was walking three meters ahead of her, suddenly shuddered without warning!
His steps came to an abrupt halt, as if nailed to the spot.
Xu Qingyan's next words were immediately cut off.
She looked at Lin Che's retreating figure with confusion, not understanding what had happened.
At this moment, in Lin Che's mind, the whole world had been turned upside down!
The Eye of Truth system is vibrating violently at an unprecedented, almost manic frequency!
That wasn't a hint, that was an alarm!
A dazzling golden notification box, even imbued with a sacred aura, suddenly popped up, almost bursting his entire mental sea!
[Warning! High concentration of extremely unstable dragon-type primal energy detected!]
The golden words, like a brand, burned his retina.
[Target locked... Location: One kilometer ahead in deep water!]
[Potential Assessment: Champion Level!]
"boom--!"
The moment Lin Che saw those last three words, his blood boiled completely!
Championship level!
It's still a dragon!
Almost immediately, he thought of that race that existed only in legends, known as the "Phantom Elves"—
Mini Dragon!
The romantic and ambiguous atmosphere from just now was instantly forgotten by him.
The girl's thoughts and the tranquility of solitude became insignificant at this moment!
He turned around suddenly.
Those eyes, which had always been calm and still, were now burning with a blazing, almost fanatical flame!
He grabbed Xu Qingyan's wrist, who was still somewhat dazed, and his fingers tightened slightly due to excessive force.
"Follow me!"
His voice was hoarse and trembling with extreme excitement.
"Let's go slay the dragon!"
Before he could even finish speaking, and before Xu Qingyan had a chance to react, he grabbed the still-shocked school beauty and raced downstream along the river marked by the system!
Chapter 30 The Guardian? The Enraged Gyarados!
The force coming from the wrist was irresistible.
Xu Qingyan was dragged by Lin Che, frantically traversing the ankle-deep stream and slippery mud.
The wind howled in her ears, and she could barely hear her own heart pounding; she could only feel the frantic drumming in her chest, almost shattering her eardrums. Each breath carried the burning smell of rust, and her lungs felt like they were on fire.
She didn't know what happened.
But she could see Lin Che's profile.
That face, which always carried a certain calm and composure, was now taut, its jawline taut into a cold, hard straight line, and its gaze intensely focused to a frightening degree. It was an absolute solemnity she had never seen before, one that seemed to have cast aside all external concerns.
This solemnity made her abandon all thoughts of struggling, and she just gritted her teeth, poured all her strength into her legs, and kept up with his pace.
The two plunged headlong into a dense reed bed taller than a person, their vision instantly blocked, with only the rustling sound of the reeds being pushed aside echoing in their ears.
Finally, the light ahead suddenly became clear.
The deafening sound of water rushed towards us.
They stopped in front of a deep pool completely surrounded by a towering waterfall.
A white ribbon of water plunges down a cliff tens of meters high, crashing into a pool below and creating a misty spray that refracts the sunlight into a hazy rainbow. The pool's water, due to its depth, is a deep, almost inky green; its surface is calm, yet it exudes a profound, all-consuming aura.
"right here!"
Lin Che released Xu Qingyan's hand, his voice trembling slightly.
His eyes were fixed on the bottomless pool of water in front of him.
In the world that Xu Qingyan couldn't see, Lin Che's vision had already been covered by a light screen made of data.
The Eye of Truth has been activated.
A powerful, pure, and supremely noble dragon-type energy source is clearly marked deep within a cave at the bottom of the pool as a dazzling golden point of light!
The intensity of that light far surpassed that of any elf he had ever seen before!
His mental energy was highly concentrated, and his vision penetrated the deep pool, directly locking onto the core of the energy source.
Lines of data that made his blood boil appeared one by one.
【Pokémon: Dratini】
[Level: LV.5]
Individual Values: 5V (HP-S, ATK-S, DEF-U, SP.ATK-S, SP.DEF-S, SPEED-S)
[Inherited Skill: Super Speed]
[Potential Assessment: Champion Level!]
Championship level!
Truly champion-level!
A surge of heat rushed to the top of his head, and Lin Che felt his temples throbbing. He instinctively held his breath, trying to suppress the overwhelming joy that was about to burst forth from his chest.
This is beyond what the word "top-notch" can describe.
A perfect 5V individual value means that it has a near-perfect innate constitution, and its only defensive deficiency can be completely made up for through training.
Level 5 is like a blank canvas, allowing him to start from scratch and be planned and nurtured in the most perfect way.
What made his heart race the most was that inherited skill.
[Lightning Speed]!
This is the most core, most powerful, and most difficult-to-inherit signature move of the Dragonite family! A Dragonite with Extreme Speed and a Dragonite without Extreme Speed are completely different species on a strategic level!
This is not just a gift from heaven, but a future king delivered right to his doorstep!
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Che's mind in an instant.
How do I get into the water?
The water in the pool was icy cold, and the underwater environment was unknown.
How can we sneak into that cave without disturbing it?
Should we use a Poké Ball to capture it remotely, or approach it first and use food and comfort to lower its guard?
Just as he was racking his brains, rapidly analyzing the feasibility of each plan—
Without warning.
The dark green pool, as calm as a mirror, suddenly bulged upwards in a huge water bubble in the center.
next second.
"boom--!!!"
A deafening roar shook the earth, and the calm surface of the pool was instantly torn apart by an indescribable force! A column of water, several meters in diameter, shot into the sky, as if a giant sea monster had opened its jaws to devour the heavens and the earth!
"Roar--!!!"
A roar that could rip your eardrums, filled with endless anger and warning, echoed throughout the valley, accompanied by a spray of water!
A colossal creature suddenly burst forth from the water!
Its body was a ferocious blue, its long, powerful muscles gleaming with a wet sheen in the sunlight; its length was estimated to be over ten meters. In its gaping maw, fangs clashed, enough to easily tear apart steel!
It's Gyarados!
Water splashed down like a torrential rain, instantly soaking their clothes.
The blue behemoth hovered in mid-air, its scarlet, basketball-sized eyes devoid of any emotion, filled only with pure savagery and murderous intent, fixedly on the two uninvited guests on the shore.
Almost simultaneously, new data popped up on Lin Che's [Eye of Truth] panel.
[Elf: Gyarados]
[Level: LV.42 (Elite)]
[Characteristic: Intimidation]
[Potential Assessment: Dojo Level]
An invisible, terrifying aura originating from the level of life descended instantly like a tsunami!
Xu Qingyan's cheeks instantly lost all color, her legs went weak, and her body uncontrollably retreated. She subconsciously hid behind Lin Che's strong back, only then feeling the pressure that was almost suffocating her ease slightly.
Lin Che's body remained motionless, but the elation that had just surged within him was suddenly doused with a bucket of ice water, leaving him feeling a bone-chilling cold throughout his body.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
He understood immediately.
This elite-level Gyarados, whose strength is so formidable that it inspires despair, is very likely the guardian of the sleeping champion-level Dratini!
His gaze swept quickly across the surrounding environment.
