Adventurer of the Elf World

When he was in Nibi City, he had considered this route, but after investigation, he found that there was no cave with similar description.

At that time, he thought that there was no such place as the Digger Cave, or it was not yet discovered, or at least it had not been developed on a large scale.

After all, you have to know the importance of this road to the Kanto region. As long as it is properly developed, it can become a bridge between the east and the west, breaking the geographical barriers between the east and the west.

It can greatly shorten the time of travel between the two places, reduce travel costs, and thus stimulate the development of the two places.

Once this strategically significant road is discovered, the alliance must firmly control it, and no one can get a share of it.

And now the place he discovered may be the extension of the Digger Cave, of course, it may just be an ordinary Digger Nest.

Then the next step is to explore the truth of the underground cave.

Xiu spent some time to organize his thoughts, and then made a plan to start exploring here with Sandshrew, a little elf who is accustomed to living underground.

Sandshrew, a resident living underground, is simply like a fish in water in this environment. It is like returning home here.

With it leading the way, Xiu didn't need to worry about losing his direction or getting lost.

The passage was narrow and dark, and the only light in the whole passage was the weak light from the night light in Xiu's hand, which could only illuminate the distance of four or five meters in front.

Moreover, there was no extra sound in this place. One could only hear the movement of clothes rubbing against the ground. When Xiu stopped, he could even hear the sound of his own breathing echoing.

After walking for hundreds of steps, a sound suddenly came from the road ahead.

Xiu was afraid that there were some elves in front, so he stopped and reached forward to call the sandmouse, but the sandmouse that had been leading the way just now disappeared at some point.

Just when Xiu wanted to call it, the sandmouse that had disappeared ran back again.

"Chiji~"

"Understood." Xiu said softly.

It turned out that there was a break in front, leading to a cavity.

Xiu slowly climbed out of the passage, and realized that it was only five or six meters high. He grabbed the edge of the fracture with both hands, shortened the height from the ground by his body position, and then jumped down. He rolled sideways to relieve the force of falling, and then slowly stood up.

Sandshrews are naturally suitable for such places. The smooth fracture has no effect in front of its claws.

With one claw, it grabbed the soil and slowly climbed down.

After confirming that there were no wild Pokémon around, Xiu took out a night light and slowly adjusted it to the maximum brightness.

The whole picture of this cave was also stored in Xiu's mind.

This is an irregular cavity that can be five or six meters high. Except for the top, there are countless passages around, some high, some low, some large and some small.

The one he just entered is just one of the many passages above.

This situation now reminds him of the cave in the past...

Of course, there is no comparison between here and there.

One is a vein extending like a tree root, and the other is a branch like a tree trunk.

This is an underground node. Xiu had seen this situation when he was walking underground in Yuejian Mountain.

It is usually caused by multiple intersections. As a major traffic route, it also has a series of functions such as buffering, escape routes, shelters, ventilation, etc.

Buffering what?

Naturally, it is the backflow caused by natural disasters such as heavy rains. Xiu has seen this before.

Anyway, the underground structure is a very strange system. Different cavities have different functions.

In fact, when Xiu saw the scene in front of him, he knew that trouble was coming.

His route just now was just one of the millions. The entire mole cave was like a huge underground maze. If you are not careful, you will go the wrong way or a dead end.

Although he said so, Xiu did not seem to be worried. Instead, he looked eager to try.

In fact, the reason why Xiu did this was very simple, because he had sandshrews and Casey, which were enough to solve the problems he faced.

With Casey, there was no such thing as getting lost, and he could also observe the situation above from different perspectives to locate himself.

And sandshrews originally lived in this environment, and they were like fish in water when they moved here.

Whether it is exploring or guarding, it is a first-class expert.

However, Xiu did not explore rashly, but chose to stop. The reason was not other things, but he needed to use this relatively large space to release the giant claw mantis and others to rest.

"Don't go in yet, we need to prepare."

Hearing this, the Sandshrew seemed a little disappointed.

It has just been a short time since we came in, and we have to stop. We haven't played enough~

At this time, they are all connected. Xiu naturally felt the meaning of the Sandshrew and laughed and teased: "I'm afraid you will have to stay underground for a while later. Don't regret it then."

The Sandshrew also barked twice when he heard it, indicating that he had stayed underground for a long time.

"Haha~ You will know when the time comes."

Xiu didn't say too much to it. He simply cleaned up the traces and released the elf.

Casey's condition has recovered a lot. At least he can use superpowers normally, but it will take some time to fully recover.

As for the other three, Xiu used Casey's ability to tell them what happened that day.

After seeing the strength of Venusaur and Mewtwo, the three showed different reactions.

Mantis fell silent, and there was no big reaction, but Xiu could feel its desire to become stronger.

Sandshrew arched its body to make it easier to roll up, and its feet had already begun to dig into the ground, so that it could dig a hole and run away if there was any problem.

Jigglypuff was extremely nervous throughout the whole process, but it was not afraid, but more worried about Xiu and the others.

"It's okay~" Xiu comforted, and then took out food to divert their attention, and he also prepared food to eat.

After resting, Xiu used Casey's power to try to find a way to the top.

But super powers can't penetrate the soil at all, which means at least a depth of 100 meters.

But this is not a reason to stop him.

"Let's go~ The next step is the real test..."

Xiu's equipment was also changed at this time. The upper body was a gray-brown jacket, and the lower body was a pair of dark green sports pants.

The characteristics of both are that the joints and some parts are specially thickened, suitable for climbing and mountain travel.

He was wearing a miner's helmet with a lamp on it.

These were the equipment he prepared after returning from Yuejian Mountain, specifically to deal with these underground environments.
