Chapter 285 This rice spoon snake is too cunning! No, someone's playing tricks! Protect the master's cooing pigeon!
[This is hilarious! Are you even human, streamer?]
【Don't use such cute cotton balls for such an evil thing!】
Ye Yinchuan disagreed.
He was already being kind by not sending Snorlax to roar, or Torreigon to cast Fireball, or Touhou to use Scare followed by Dark Shadow...
If that happens, Nidorino will probably be traumatized!
With the power of his Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan felt like he could roam freely in the wild.
"The Brilliant Cave is just ahead..."
After searching for a while using the map, Ye Yinchuan finally found the real entrance.
At the entrance, there was a sign that read—
Before entering the cave, please make thorough preparations...
Make sure to secure the rope through the hole properly to avoid getting lost!
Rock-type Pokémon are commonly found in caves, so it's best to bring a Water-type Pokémon that can move around on land!
If you discover any significant threat inside the cave, please report it immediately for a reward!
Remember to check if there are any corresponding quests before entering the cave!
Looking at the notice on the sign, Ye Yinchuan's gaze fell on an area next to him. There were many steel nails protruding from the rock wall, which had been deliberately embedded and fixed to the rock wall.
"Are we going to tie the hole-piercing rope to it? Someone already went in before me?"
Looking at the rope hanging on the rock face, Ye Yinchuan seemed to be deep in thought.
The notice board also included a red-highlighted reminder:
"This area is under surveillance. Please do not damage other people's ropes in any way. This is an illegal and criminal act that endangers their lives!"
Ye Yinchuan knew that behind every seemingly nonsensical hint, there might be a bloody and tragic case...
I suspect this kind of thing has happened before!
For cave explorers, the tunnel rope is like a seatbelt in a car—a vital safeguard for their lives!
Ye Yinchuan began setting up his hole-piercing rope, hanging it on steel nails and securing it with a special binding method.
"My hole-penetrating rope is only 300 meters long, which means that after going down to 300 meters, I either have to use other hole-penetrating ropes to extend it, or I'll have to rely on the marks I made myself to find my way back..."
With the technology of this world, it is said that there are 5,000-meter-long ropes for piercing holes, made of special nanomaterials, which are very thin and durable... but correspondingly, they are very expensive.
It is said that the cost of one meter is tens of thousands, so Ye Yinchuan is not considering it for the time being.
In fact, the tool of the hole-piercing rope is mostly used by beginners, or to deal with some unfamiliar or particularly complicated caves.
As mentioned earlier, explorers intentionally improve their ability to survive independently in the wild. Even with ropes tied around their necks, they will try their best to find an exit using their own skills.
After preparations were complete, Ye Yinchuan entered the cave.
"Kirby, come back here first."
Seeing Snorlax tentatively probing the cave entrance and finding it was getting stuck, Ye Yinchuan recalled it into its Poké Ball. He thought to himself, "Don't try to force yourself to suffer."
Ye Yinchuan observed the environment inside the cave and turned on the searchlight on his hat. He also put on his goggles to prevent dust and sand from getting into his eyes.
After entering the cave, there is a small platform that extends to both sides, but it's unclear where it leads. Going down is the correct path.
As you can see, there's a staircase here that doesn't look like a staircase; you can go down from here.
Ye Yinchuan used his searchlight to check the environment below, and immediately spotted a Pokémon:
"Family, did you see that? There's a Pokémon hiding down there. If you accidentally step on it or get bitten, you'll be in big trouble."
Under the light, a snake-shaped Pokémon was coiled up, covered in dust, and almost invisible unless you looked closely.
This is a snake with a lot of black skin, golden armor on its body, six golden scales on its belly, and purple markings on its face, chest, and tail. The markings on its tail are relatively neat and are circular.
Its red fangs are sharp and long, and it has a tail end structure that looks like a red blade.
[Holy crap, isn't that a katana? It's hiding in a place like this; if I hadn't looked closely, I might have been in big trouble!]
[I have a feeling it's been lying in wait here for someone to come.]
"Generally speaking, Scyther lives in grassy areas, waiting for prey before attacking. Its sharp teeth and tail can easily inflict wounds and inject venom... It is an extremely dangerous Pokémon in the wild!"
Ye Yinchuan also said in a serious tone,
"If there's nothing wrong, don't go near it rashly."
[This spoon snake is too sinister; what's it doing hiding in the cave?]
I see what looks like blood on the ground. Has someone been bitten?
After glancing at the comments, Ye Yinchuan also noticed the details.
Judging from the condition of the rope, it seems that a trainer actually went in and got bitten by this pike-eating snake!
"Food spoon, food spoon... How can I get out of here? Damn humans... Why did you bring me to this place..."
Upon hearing the thoughts of the Spoon Snake, Ye Yinchuan was slightly taken aback.
I initially thought that the katana was deliberately hiding here, intending to attack someone.
But now it seems that it didn't appear here on its own initiative?
"Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain..."
Ye Yinchuan sighed softly.
The main reason is that Seviper's design looks a bit evil and cunning; someone who doesn't know it might mistake it for a Dark-type Pokémon.
But could it be that someone is really up to no good? Deliberately putting the rice spoon snake here to trick people?
That's really bad!
"Food spoon, food spoon... Oh no, this human seems to have spotted me... No, no, please don't find me... This time I'll be smarter. I'll bite him when he's halfway down, then he'll run upwards as fast as he can and take me out... Food spoon, food spoon!"
Listening to the thoughts of the rice spoon snake, Ye Yinchuan slowly typed a question mark, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.
This serpent, to be honest, didn't have any bad intentions. It was simply trapped here and trying to escape, but the methods it used...
Too particular!
Ye Yinchuan pondered, as a professional trainer with morality and integrity, how could he sit idly by when he saw wild Pokémon encountering difficulties?
Moreover, only by dealing with this katana can I go and help the unfortunate person who was bitten, and prevent more victims from appearing!
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yinchuan handed over the portable wooden stick he was holding.
The rice spoon snake stared at the wooden stick, clearly wary and hostile. After all, it had been tricked by humans once and thrown into this godforsaken cave, surrounded by hard creatures that it couldn't bite!
It was starving!
"hiss!"
The serpent flicked its tongue, and its blade-like tail swayed slightly.
"Spirit Snake, don't be nervous, I'm not here to harm you, I'm here to save you."
Ye Yinchuan reminded him.
But the scorpion's hostility remained undiminished.
"You better behave yourself and not force me to hit you, understand?"
As he spoke, the fiery cat beside Ye Yinchuan stepped forward, lit up the bell on its chest, and breathed out flames.
The Winged Owl next to it also spread one wing, revealing feathers that were as sharp as blades and gleamed with a cold light.
Overlord!
The spiky snake sensed a threat, felt uneasy, and was somewhat flustered.
It didn't dare to move until Ye Yinchuan brought the stick to its face.
The cotton ball couldn't stand it any longer, so it flew to the front of the rice spoon snake and chirped, as if it were some kind of reminder.
The serpent's eyes lit up when it suddenly realized that it could climb up the stick by wrapping itself around it.
Seeing the serpent tightly coiled around the stick, Ye Yinchuan lifted it up.
That's it.
Ye Yinchuan remained vigilant, bringing the rice spoon snake to the top of the cave and placing it in the grass.
The spittle snake, upon seeing the light of day again, felt the long-lost sunshine and the fragrance of grass, and was momentarily dazed, followed by excitement and ecstasy.
"Come out, Milotic, give it a wash."
If you're going to help someone, help them to the very end.
Ye Yinchuan even summoned Milotic and had it manipulate the water flow to give the glutenous snake a full-body wash and deep cleaning, making it look brand new.
The rice spoon snake was a little confused.
Do you think this is over?
Under Ye Yinchuan's command, the Flame Cat's bell continued to emit flames, and the cotton ball blew out a fairy wind...
They just used hot air to dry it!
[Wow, the streamer is being way too devoted to this serpent!]
Look, a light is emanating from the Rice Spoon Serpent and has fallen upon the Cotton Ball!
What does this mean? Does the streamer have a system?
Ye Yinchuan was startled when he saw one of the comments.
Wow, they even guessed I have a system? This kid must not be allowed to live!
However, the cotton ball, whether used for good deeds or pranks, will receive an energy boost to enhance its attributes, which is quite similar to a system, like the kind that collects negative energy.
That's right.
Ye Yinchuan helps the rice spoon snake not only because of his sense of responsibility and friendliness, but also because he helps enhance the "mischievous fairy" quality of the cotton ball.
"Don't talk nonsense! Caring for wild Pokémon is everyone's responsibility!"
Ye Yinchuan responded to the comments, and seeing the bewildered raccoon snake, he waved his hand, signaling it to leave quickly.
He still needs to go down into the cave to rescue people!
"hiss!"
Ye Yinchuan heard the gratitude in the mouth of the rice spoon snake, and the smile on his lips became even more natural.
"By the way, if there are rice-spoon snakes, I wonder if there are any mongoose slashers around here?"
The thought flashed through Ye Yinchuan's mind, and he quickened his pace to enter the cave.
He followed the trail of blood and the rope through the hole and soon found an explorer crouching in a corner, his face pale and almost in critical condition.
This was a dark-skinned young man, older than Ye Yinchuan. He was clearly an outdoor enthusiast, with a night camera hanging around his neck, suitable for filming in caves.
Ye Yinchuan noticed that there were bite marks on his trouser legs from a serpent.
[Tsk, the unlucky guy has been found!]
Why isn't the streamer helping?
However, Ye Yinchuan did not take immediate action. Instead, he frowned slightly and looked around warily.
He asked:
Are you still conscious? Do you have any other companions?
"Coo coo!"
The response to Ye Yinchuan was the voice of a Pokémon, a bird-like Pokémon, which quickly pounced on the injured man and looked at Ye Yinchuan with hostile eyes.
(Coo coo! Stranger, who are you? Are you trying to hurt Master Coo coo?)
Ye Yinchuan gestured to the Hot Cat and the Feathered Owl beside him not to make any rash moves.
[Right, most explorers wouldn't come to the Brilliant Cave alone, right? That's why the host finds it strange!]
[It has to be the streamer, so reliable!]
Is that Cuckoo? I've heard it's a very intelligent Pokémon with a great memory!
Ye Yinchuan was also sizing up the Pokémon in front of him.
The Cuckoo Pigeon evolved from the Bean Pigeon. Its feathers are composed of gray and black, creating a layered effect. Its distinctive features include red skin on the upper half of its face above its eyes, a golden beak and eyes, and a cloud-like black appearance on the back of its neck. Overall, it has a slender and elegant body and is not very large.
The cuckoo pigeon is wearing a small vest, the same style as the explorer's, which clearly indicates that it is his pet Pokémon.
"It seems his companion went elsewhere. What reason could have led his companion to abandon a wounded soldier who was poisoned and unconscious?"
Ye Yinchuan examined the wound and found that it had been treated and there was also some used antidote nearby.
"The venom of the pike-toothed snake is too potent. This level of antidote can only temporarily save its life; it needs to be taken to the hospital immediately!"
Ye Yinchuan took out the satellite phone that Akai had lent him and tried to make contact.
But they discovered there was no signal?
"Are you kidding me? You gave me a fake?"
Ye Yinchuan checked it and believed it wasn't a problem with the phone, but rather that there was some factor in the vicinity blocking the signal!
"How many times have I gone to the jungle, and I've already encountered this situation?"
Thinking about how the rice-spoon snake had been used, Ye Yinchuan suddenly seemed to realize something.
"Someone deliberately left the rice-spoon snake at the entrance. Could it be that these people blocked the signals inside the cave? What are they trying to do!"
Ye Yinchuan's clever mind has always been superior, mainly because he likes to watch conspiracy theories when he's scrolling through short videos.
"Fine, you're lucky you met me!"
Ye Yinchuan then summoned Milotic and had it use the move "Life Drop" on this person.
If you master the "Drops of Life" to a certain extent, you can remove abnormal statuses, and this is also true in some game versions.
Given Milotic's capabilities, giving this friend a second chance shouldn't be a big problem.
Poor Milotic, all that going in and out...
[There was no other way; the cave area was full of rough ground and rubble, and the streamer felt sorry for Milotic, so he didn't let it follow him outside!]
No need for further words, have a safe journey!
Seeing that the man's complexion was gradually improving, Ye Yinchuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The Pokémon world isn't exactly chaotic. Although there are villains, Ye Yinchuan isn't that kind of heartless to stand by and watch an innocent passerby die.
Besides, he has compassion for wild Pokémon, but he is cold and ruthless towards humans, which makes him a bit of a villain!
Just as Ye Yinchuan was considering whether to take the thing out first, a sound like a small explosion came from one direction of the cave...
"Is someone fighting?"
The current situation further confirmed Ye Yinchuan's suspicions; someone was probably up to no good in this magnificent cave!
Just then, Ye Yinchuan suddenly felt the rope around his waist loosen and fall to the ground...
"What the hell?!"
Ye Yinchuan immediately realized that someone outside the cave had cut his rope.
Instantly, his heart sank, and his eyes widened in fury:
"What a waste of money! I've only used this piercing rope once! Buying a new one will just cost me more money!"
The live chat also noticed what was happening.
[666, they've already started working on a new outdoor script?]
[It can't be that bad. That person's face was practically black with poison. If the streamer had arrived any later, they would have really died... Did the script really need to be that ruthless?]
[Fake! So fake! Even with satellite phone signal, how come the live stream didn't stop?!]
Ye Yinchuan was also taken aback when he saw the last comment.
Yeah, why isn't the live stream interrupted yet?
But Ye Yinchuan immediately realized the reason: just like last time when Mega Alakazam released its energy, interfering with all modern equipment, and his live stream on his phone hadn't been interrupted...
It was as if some unseen force was protecting the live stream!
Ye Yinchuan could only attribute it to the power of the system!
After all, this is a live streaming system!
"I'm speechless, everyone. This isn't scripted, someone's causing trouble! Can anyone kindly tell me the nearest Pokémon center?"
Ye Yinchuan tried it out, and it seemed that apart from live streaming, there was really no signal when using other software to connect to the internet!
This made it hard for him to explain, making him seem like the mastermind behind it all!
