“Tick.”

The cold mist condensed into drops at the tip of the stalactite, and the sound of falling echoed in the cave and was submerged in the rustling footsteps. The sound of bats flapping their wings sounded over their heads, and countless sights were hidden in the shadows, peeping at the uninvited guests visiting this huge underground kingdom.

For humans, the underground cave is too dark. The glimmer of light released by the electric rat will illuminate the feet. The distance is still endless paint black, and it is flooded with excessive moisture and chill, which is almost unpleasant to breathe.

Carl and Clive's Pokémon are mostly huge and have no use in the narrow underground. The only snow demon girl who is known for her agility is also seriously injured in the explosion, and is now unconscious like a baboon of Damo. Xiaoye has been selecting her own elf ball for a long time before picking out a reliable player who is not big and not afraid of the cold. She will not bite the three heads one by one as soon as she comes out to let the owner's Bing see the family reputation fall below the board in an instant.

At this moment, Leolu was walking at the forefront of the team, moving forward step by step carefully.

Even without relying on the power of the waveguide, its natural superior night vision is enough to support it to move freely in the underground cave. The energetic little dog waved its fist and hit a few superbats that grinded their teeth and wanted to suck blood. It kicked off a stalactite column that was almost hit on its face, and opened a path that even a clumsy human could barely pass through. After doing all this, Leolu nodded with satisfaction and reserve, and turned around-

...Where are people?!

Three minutes later—

"Clive." Carl looked pity, "I have suggested that you lose weight, at least not more than three pots of rice per meal—"

"I'm born!" Clive roared and pounded his thick chest twice, even making Nanguo swear.

"Hey, how can you say such rude words in front of the guests? Pay attention to maintaining the image of our family."

"Come on, since the Laushima game, Bing saw the family has lost its image!"

Seeing the two voices making Pichu's ears droop on Carl's shoulders, her hair stood up, and five seconds later, an angry electric shock was about to come. Xiaoye quickly stuffed a large ball of things in his hand, successfully preventing the unimpressed duo from continuing to make noise.

Carl was stunned for a moment when he looked at the safety rope of climbing that was forced into his hand.

"you mean……"

Xiaoye had quickly tied the end of his hand to his waist, "I think this will be safer."

The interior of the underground cave was undulating, and steep slopes were everywhere. The erosion of moisture and the erosion of the underworld water made the rocks fragile. A small Pokémon like Leo Road could pass through safely may not be able to carry the weight of humans. Just now, the rocks at Clive's feet collapsed without warning, and the whole person almost fell down. Fortunately, Iib, who was following Carl, reacted quickly, and an ice light frozen Clive's trouser legs on the edge of the cliff, which was finally safe.

Although the cliff is not high, there is a surging river below. If it falls into the cold and bone-breathing water, even those of the Bingjian family will fall into the danger of losing temperature.

Clive held the rope handed over by Xiaoye, and his face turned dark with the naked eye.

"Beidou, what do you mean? Look down on people?"

Of course he understood the meaning of this flame of honor - tie everyone together with ropes, even if someone misses, his teammates will be supported by the anchor so that they will not fall off the cliff. Clive knew that compared to a free trainer who is good at crossing mountains and rivers, he might only be a burden, but this does not mean that he can drag his teammates back with peace of mind.

The Bingjian boy who needed to lose weight was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with strong muscles all over his body, and his fierce expression were enough to scare the timid ten-year-old child to cry. Seeing him glaring angrily, he would shout "If I want to fall off, I will fall off by myself so that I won't harm others." Xiaoye raised his head and opened the purple eyes behind the mask round.

"If I accidentally fall down and happen to be far away from you, would you not want to save me?"

Clive: "…"

Unhappy, my classmate's face was turned red and red. Finally, he gritted his teeth and tied the rope without saying a word.

Finally, the player who was soft and not hard was solved. Xiaoye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw that the other person was abnormally unmoved. He just stared at the rope in a daze, with a faint look of worry on his face.

"Mr. Carl?" Saya spoke tentatively.

She stared at the boy, thinking that she would have to dress up twice - fortunately Carl was obviously more reasonable than his friends, and she smiled apologetically and started to move.

The two teenagers in the Bingjian family are academic trainers who are both active in the arena. They have not climbed mountains and drilled holes in person for many years, and have forgotten how to tie the safety ropes. Even Leolu couldn't help but danced his little paws and began to point out where to tie knots.

Carl smiled and wanted to reach out to touch the dog's head. After being slapped away with a palm, he had to change it to punch a fist to express his gratitude. During the busy interval, he looked up at Beidou, who was helping Clive check the safety rope.

Whether it was during the competition or now, the young trainer was always taciturn and calm. His words were short and cold, whether it was talking to friends who had been with him for many days or the current crisis. All the tiny expressions were covered by the bird-shaped mask. Compared with the noisy Nanguo brothers, he was almost like a always-tight, well-trained soldier.

——But he has also seen the real Beidou look.

About half a month ago, he had received a video from his friend from the Flame Valley. It was a video of the day of Zoroastrian Festival. The shooting level was obviously not as good as the camera. The camera was so shaking that it made people dizzy that it was almost impossible to tell which was just a flame bird, which was just a flame chicken, and which was just a human in strange costumes with feathers.

In about ten seconds, the camera was aimed at the foreigner with unique hair color.

She did not tie her hair meticulously behind her head, nor did she deliberately lower her voice to pretend to be herself; the purple-haired young man in the picture let her fluffy short hair fall naturally, and the hair rope representing the identity of the People of the Flame of Honor was tied crooked to one side, and her sitting posture was also relaxed. Even if she was rudely faced with her mobile phone, she just smiled with a good temper and called the photographer to eat the freshly baked pastry.

"No, it's not time to sit down - this is the first time I've participated in the real Zoroastrian Festival since I was born!" said the brown-haired boy who was responsible for photography, "I'll make Yang Yu and the others dance again later. I was so excited that I didn't even record the video."

"Well, but I still want to remind you that Lord Niba has been staring at you for a minute. If you don't have a good meal, you may be pecked."

"Uh? Then I have to go quickly."

The boy holding his cell phone ran away quickly. The laughter of the locals and foreigners melted into the swaying flames, and all turned into warm and bright colors in that rough video.

If it weren't for the unique Flame Bird feathers that proved their identity, no one would have linked the girl with a soft smile in the video with the cold and powerful "trainer Beidou" in the Wind and Snow Battle.

Clive had tied the safety rope and followed Leolu, walking deep and shallowly, as if he was still muttering his dissatisfaction. Carl patted his friend's shoulder and smiled, "Okay. It's a miracle that we fell from such a high place and didn't get hurt. Instead of complaining, it's better to thank good luck for his favor, right?"

Not a good luck.

Even though he had little travel experience, Carl knew that he had suffered the impact of the big explosion and fell from a high place without any defense. Even with Pokémon's desperate protection, it was impossible that he would not even have a wound. It was the traveler who had saved the Flame Valley who saved them in the same way. He took advantage of the fallen man's brief loss of consciousness and turned the timeline to the timeline when the wound had not appeared.

——And Carl also clearly knows that the Moon Heart that saves life does not protect users. Even if Beidou is very good at it, can he really protect himself in an explosion and free fall without warning?

"Bang!!"

The loud noise echoed in the underground cave, almost creating the effect of a shock wave. Carl, who was distracted, was shocked and his mind was blank, and his worries about his teammates' possible injury were washed into garbled codes.

He quickly looked forward with stars and saw a gray stone Pokémon ramming around, almost turning into a big gyro. However, although Leolu was short, his strength was better, so he quickly pressed it tightly against the rock wall and could not move.

Beidou threw out another elf ball with a calm face. The dark purple ghost appeared with a smile, and raised the entire forehead with his mental power, making it have no place to use his strength. The guy who was lifted was so angry that he cursed, and the entire hole was filled with Pokémon swearing.

Carl: "…"

Carl: "?"

Clive saw his friend's confusion and nude his mouth impatiently, "The compass broke just now, and this guy said he has a Pokémon that can tell the direction."

God knows why, as soon as the words fell, the group of Pokémon began to fight intravenously, which shocked Clive so much that he almost slipped and fell again.

Seeing that the eyes of the two friends became more and more confused, as if they were going to take her away as a prisoner who abused Pokémon in the next moment, Xiaoye quickly explained the whole story.

Chaobei Bi was not her own, Xiaoye was just asked to take it out for a relaxing time. After learning about the inside story, the two of them showed a glorious look.

This type of business is quite common among student parties or office workers. Carl immediately understood the reason for the irritability of the north-facing nose. He relied on the rock Pokémon being imprisoned and unable to move, and reached out to touch its hard body.

"Okay OK, don't be so angry." The young trainer with sufficient experience in dealing with Pokémon said with a smile, "Your master must be missing you too - he will be very happy to see you so energetic."

Facing North Nose: "…"

Xiaoye: "…"

Seeing Carl trying to soothe the North Nose with words and physical movements... Then because the light was too dim, his hand poked into the North Nose's nose, and Xiaoye silently raised his hand to block his ears.

Facing North Nose: "…"

Facing North Nose: "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

After a lot of chaos, the North Nose, who was tired, finally calmed down. Xiaoye wiped his sweat and pointed to the direction facing the North Nose.

"This is Nan." She said with confidence.

Carl and Clive, who were afraid of being howled, looked at each other silently, and could no longer raise the strength to question.

The three of them groped little by little in the darkness and headed towards the southwest where the "skylight" Carl called the exit of the underground cave.

The underground caves are cold and wet, and the road under your feet is rugged and slippery, and it is even more physically consuming than ordinary mountain roads. The darkness surrounding them makes people feel more and more psychological pressure, and their steps become heavier and heavier.

Xiaoye observed the physical strength and mental state of the two teammates, thinking about when to ask for a timeout, Leolu and Carl, who were walking in the front of the team, stopped.

In front of them, the water of the river rolled past, blocking the road.

“—So, there is only this road nearby, right?”

Beidou nodded in the same posture as his Leolu.

They used the power of a waveguide to detect the surrounding area - it turned out that unless you change the direction and detour, crossing the river is the only choice.

Rafting in the underground cave is extremely dangerous. There are countless explorers who are swallowed by the underground rivers and deep pools every year. Even the textbooks of the primary school say, "You must never step into the undetected river in the cave." Xiaoye knew that time was urgent and there was no second way to go, so he did not show any worry, so he said calmly: "Why not take a break here and discuss how to cross the river?"

The boys at Bingjian nodded and found a dry place to sit down.

While tidying up her backpack, Xiaoye heard Carl cough twice. She didn't pay attention to the movement, but Clive suddenly became nervous. A carp stood up and rushed to Carl.

"Are you okay?"

Xiaoye was startled by his shock. He thought Carl was injured while rushing to see him. He quickly looked over. The boy who suddenly became the focus of his sight was also a little confused, looking at his companion with a question mark.

Clive seemed to be a little embarrassed by being stared at, and shouted in anger, "Pay attention to the time! You must have been down for more than three hours!"

"Ah, that's right." Carl smiled and began to rummage in his backpack.

This conversation about the bad lips made Xiaoye confused. Until Carl took out a medicine bottle from his bag and swallowed a few pills, Xiaoye jumped up nervously like Clive.

However, this time, before Xiaoye could make a surprise inquiry, Carl looked over with a smile, "Beidou, do you like the flavor of peach fruit?"

Xiaoye: “…uh?”

She couldn't tell for a moment whether Bing saw that the family was not speaking or something wrong with her ears, and hesitated to answer, "Do you like it..."

Carl nodded and shook the bottle of medicine in her hand, "Do you want to take it?"

Xiaoye: "???"

Seeing that the blinded contestant did not speak for a long time, Carl simply stretched out the medicine bottle and poured out two pills in Xiaoye's palm. He explained slowly in the eyes of the other party's question marks and storm: "Vitamin B. I still have grape-flavored fruity flavors. If you want to eat them, you can tell me."

Xiaoye: "…"

She silently threw the pills in her hand into her mouth, feeling the sweet fruity smell melted in her mouth, and her brain completely stirred into a paste.

Xiaoye thought Carl was injured or sick, but she never expected Clive was nervous for a long time, but what the person involved took out was the vitamin sugar beans that the child often ate.
