Chapter 216 A Paradise Attached to the Jianmu Tree
Chapter 216 A Paradise Attached to the Jianmu Tree
The ocean current tore through the seabed's protective barrier, and Qi Hao and the other two walked straight through.
Qi Hao covered his face with one hand and protected Murasame at his waist with the other, then plunged headfirst into it.
Qi Hao, who had prepared for freefall and wanted to pay homage to Yamcha's landing, still felt the buoyancy of the seawater.
Qihao waved to Leeteuk, who understood and then created another bubble to cover him.
"Good, good! I thought there was something different inside! Turns out the water shield is still just water!" Qi Hao turned his body inside the bubble, watching the water shield, which had been torn apart by the ocean current, gradually recover.
Qi Hao bid a brief farewell to the outside world in his heart.
But they soon realized that, unlike the brightness outside, the city seemed to have entered "night".
At this moment, Qi Hao was high in the sky, which was undoubtedly the time when his view was the widest.
Qi Hao quickly gathered information about his surroundings. The houses below him were not tall, mostly around six stories high. Several small buildings side by side had the same shape, seemingly the uniform architecture of the outermost ring of the city.
Qi Hao looked up slightly and was quickly attracted by the exceptionally complete entertainment facilities. There were two Ferris wheels in sight, plus an incredibly long roller coaster, which seemed somewhat inexplicable.
Looking further in, there was a huge tree, with a blue palace wrapped around it. That was probably the so-called Ocean Temple, and the giant tree was supporting the temple. The barrier extending from the top of the tree was the "night" above Qi Hao's head at this moment.
On the giant tree, yellow fruits radiated a sun-like light, giving people a warm feeling at first glance. In Qi Hao's perception, there was indeed no bone-chilling cold like that of the deep sea.
"What are all these things?" Qi Hao covered his head, feeling like his head was about to explode.
“That’s Jianmu.” Li Te pointed to the giant tree and said as if possessed, “This city depends on Jianmu for its existence.”
As they talked, Qi Hao and the others quickly landed on the ground, but their gazes were fixed on Leeteuk: "Leeteuk... how did you know?"
But it was clear that Qihao wouldn't get an answer, and Leeteuk could only shake his head in response. If Leeteuk really knew any information, why would he hide it? Would he just want to make things difficult for himself?
Li Te, with his back to Qi Hao, seemed to be guided by something: "Before I came here, my goal was to get into this place, but now that I'm here, my goal has become Jianmu. I don't know why, but I can feel that I should do this."
Litt realized that his unclear goal would not help Qi Hao, and he, like Qi Hao, knew nothing about this place.
"So, do you have any ideas?" Qi Hao also understood that they should part ways for the time being.
Ritsu had no power; at level 1, he was as weak as a newborn elf.
Even without the Pokémon by his side, Qi Hao's physical attributes and the various energies within him mean that even a level 70+ Elite Four Pokémon couldn't guarantee defeating him. Moreover, Kyurem hadn't left nothing behind; it just didn't want Qi Hao to accept it yet.
"I will move forward in my own way. When the time comes, we will meet again in front of the Jianmu." Although Litt was weak, he was not cowardly. When strength was not enough to support his beliefs, he needed to rely on his own wisdom.
And coincidentally, Leeteuk is very good at thinking.
"Then I wish you all the best, may your path be clear and successful." Leeteuk quickly pulled Wright away, leaving Qihao alone on the outer street.
"Pfft. A natural progression, huh? It certainly suits the blessing of a Water-type Pokémon." Qi Hao smiled as he watched Rito disappear into the distance. "I wish you all the best as well."
Actually, Qi Hao originally wanted to take Li Te and rush over there, since he was very familiar with infiltration tactics.
As for Wright? The fact that he could be dragged around by Lillard speaks volumes about the extent of his acting skills.
Furthermore, after he forcibly viewed the information about Jianmu using the system, he changed his mind on the spot.
Jianmu
Type: World Tree Branches - Exotic Variety
The Jianmu fruit, which absorbs the emotions of the "Paradise" residents and bears immense energy, can make life exist without food and not die easily, thus extending lifespan and forming a cycle in a certain sense.
Specific uses: …………
The Jianmu tree's effects are so terrifying—it doesn't need to eat and it can't die—it's practically the core of this city. Its total defensive strength is definitely no less than that of the champions, and it might even be a group of unkillable champions. No matter how you look at it, we shouldn't just charge in.
"Blue Hole and deep sea, Jianmu tree, what if I meet a diver uncle someday?" Perhaps amused by his own thoughts, Qi Hao's lips curled up, and his mood improved slightly.
Logically speaking, given the remarkable effects of Jianmu wood, Qihao could still sense a slight sense of oppression in the city, so subtle that he wondered if he was being overly sensitive.
It's certain that there's still information Qi Hao doesn't know, but unfortunately the system crashed for some unknown reason.
Now, we can only take it one step at a time.
Qi Hao walked towards the water cover, intending to explore the city from the outside in.
Perhaps because it was nighttime, the roads were rather deserted, but the lights from the surrounding houses proved that there were living things here.
Just as Qi Hao walked under the barrier to observe, he saw a familiar white-haired figure.
"They won't let us in, and they won't let us out. We shouldn't have come in with the current. We've really had terrible luck." Bai Jingtian crossed his arms and looked at the water shield with amazement.
Bai Jingtian rested his chin on his hand. Although he was a martial artist, he was not a reckless person. It was only because the incident happened so suddenly that he ended up here.
He casually punched the water shield twice, and a feeling like hitting cotton appeared in his hands.
This is the feeling of force being dispersed, like squeezing an egg with bare hands, which is similar to the feeling of the little iron-clad Zygarde.
Bai Jingtian knew that the force he had just used was materialized to be around level 30, which was the limit of his strength and skills without the help of a spirit. Moreover, the speed at which the force was absorbed was almost instantaneous.
With Bai Jingtian's extraordinary wisdom, a quick calculation shows that even a champion couldn't possibly break through this thing!
Just as he was pondering a way out of the predicament, the refracted light from the bubble made him frown.
He turned around in confusion.
"Huh? Handsome young man? What are you doing here? And why are you wearing such a big bubble? I couldn't find you when we were sightseeing during the day." Bai Jingtian looked at Qi Hao in surprise. The big bubble around Qi Hao was so obvious that it was hard not to see it.
Qi Hao's gaze became even stranger: "Uncle Bai...where's your bubble? Doesn't it need to breathe...?"
At this moment, they:
Bai Jingtian? ????? (???;) Qi Hao
