Chapter 493: The Spiritual Nether Cult
The large area west of National Highway 219 is called the Aksai Chin region, a highly disputed border area of the alliances.
Of course, the main dispute is between India and Pakistan. These two alliances have fought to the death here for many years and have formed a deep-seated feud. The Huaxia Alliance doesn't have many interests or deep entanglements here, mainly guarding against the Indian Alliance messing around. Because the brain circuits of this alliance and this nation are very different, and they have a criminal record in this regard, so precautions must be taken.
However, in recent years, the Indian Alliance hasn't caused any trouble, so the Huaxia military doesn't want to overly provoke the other side. After all, this alliance is useless at everything else but number one at stirring up shit.
Above the Aksai Chin region, several flying Pokémon were flying rapidly.
Basalt rode Bronzong, holding Carbink.
Danba rode a Skarmory, escorted by a Crobat.
Fang Xiaolong rode a Pidgeot, with a Charizard beside him, and a Manectric standing on Charizard's back.
"Any discoveries?"
Basalt looked at Fang Xiaolong and Danba.
Skarmory and Pidgeot both have the ability "Keen Eye," definitely good hands in searching. Manectric is a specially trained military dog with very high sensitivity to scents; even scents diluted thousands of times in the air cannot escape its nostrils. As for Crobat, it can use ultrasonic waves for detection, secretive and silent.
But unfortunately, both shook their heads. The entire Aksai Chin region is a full 170,000 square kilometers, larger than some provinces in Huaxia. Besides the areas actually controlled by India and Pakistan, the un-garrisoned disputed area still has thousands of square kilometers. Searching here is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
"Let's go to the last location where the squad sent a signal to investigate first!"
Fang Xiaolong fiddled with a satellite phone, which stored a lot of information.
"Then let's go quickly!" Basalt had an anxious look on his face.
Seeing this, Danba quickly comforted, "Basalt, the Huaxia Alliance is blessed by heaven. Your teacher must also be a lucky person with her own heaven's protection; she won't be in danger."
"Hope so!"
Basalt prayed secretly in his heart, "Teacher An, please don't let anything happen to you! Coach Mi is still waiting for you to return to propose!"
In an unknown valley in Aksai Chin, there was a hidden cave among the bushes. Although the hole looked inconspicuous, the inside was very spacious; one look and you knew it was a manually excavated shelter.
In the deepest part of the cave, candles were placed in weird shapes. The candlelight flickered, making the whole cave look exceptionally eerie and terrifying. At the center point of the candle formation, a weird coffin was placed. This coffin had a shiny golden body, covered in pure gold, looking very luxurious.
Suddenly, the coffin opened its eyes. Its eyes were red, and it also had four gray hands like shadows.
It was the Ghost-type Pokémon—Cofagrigus!
And as Cofagrigus opened its eyes, an old man in the candle formation wearing a long turban, with a long beard, wearing short clothes and pants, wearing steel bracelets, also felt something and slowly opened his eyes. The old man's face was dark, typical Indian Alliance attire, with very long fingernails full of dirt inside. Against the backdrop of the cave's darkness and flickering candlelight, he looked extremely terrifying!
"The time for sacrifice has come again!"
The old man laughed strangely, shouting, "Come, bring the sacrifices up quickly. Can't let my baby starve."
As soon as the voice fell, several people walking like zombies came into the cave. Their appearances were similar to the old man, but much younger, all young and strong men. And in the shadow behind them followed something like a normal doll with a zipper on its mouth.
If Basalt were here, he would definitely recognize it. It was the Ghost-type Pokémon—Banette!
These strong men were completely controlled by Banette suppressing their minds.

After the sacrifices were in place, Cofagrigus opened the coffin door, revealing the many gold bars and white bandages inside. The bandages slowly unraveled, extending to the men's arms and wrapping around them tightly.
"Enjoy the sacrifices well, my baby!"
The old man extended his finger and slashed across the chests of several men with his sharp knife-like fingernails. Instantly, blood surged like a tide. But strangely, whether the blood flowed out or sprayed out, it would eventually gather on Cofagrigus's bandages and then be brought into the coffin along the bandages.
As the blood was lost, the figures of these men quickly shriveled, skin aging, muscles losing water, as if their yang energy was sucked dry. Obviously, Cofagrigus sucked away not only blood but also life energy, even souls.
And in the center of the coffin, at the root of the bandages, a flawless white egg could be seen, about the size of a football, warm and moist like jade, but mixed with black and silver patterns, appearing exceptionally weird.
In the end, the energy of the sacrifices was absorbed by this Pokémon egg. As for Cofagrigus, it was just a medium.
In the blink of an eye, five men died suddenly.
"Baby's appetite has been getting bigger and bigger lately. It seems baby is about to hatch successfully! Jie jie jie... Not in vain did this old man rack his brains for you; finally time to see the result!"
Looking at the Pokémon egg in Cofagrigus, the old man rubbed his hands together, appearing extremely expectant. This Pokémon egg was a treasure he found with great effort, supplemented by secret methods found in the cult's ancient books, using human life energy and soul energy as nutrients to enhance its potential. Once born, it would possess mighty power. And with just a little cultivation, it could easily step into the Gym Leader level, or even Master level.
For this, the old man did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles, constantly kidnapping people from villages in the Indian and Pakistan alliances as sacrifices; hundreds of people had disappeared silently. Because he went too far and attracted official attention, the old man had to hide in this lawless land, and did not hesitate to run thousands of miles away, racking his brains to kidnap scattered people.
Fortunately, now this Pokémon egg was about to hatch!
"Banette, take the waste away!"
The old man looked at the dead people on the ground with disgust. Banette understood, immediately controlling elemental energy to lift them up, familiarly throwing them outside, and digging a pit to bury them. On the tree branches of the high mountain in the distance, several Mandibuzz had been waiting for a long time.
And all of this fell into the eyes of the woman by the cave.
However, there was no fear on her face, only anger. Because since joining the army, she had put life and death aside. Her heart had long been hard as iron. But even such a person as her felt her blood run cold when seeing the old man's terrifying behavior. This guy simply wasn't human!
Unfortunately, the old man's strength was too strong, a proper Gym Leader level. When attacked, their squad had no power to resist at all. Except for her, everyone else either died in battle or was brutally murdered as sacrifices.
And her own situation was also quite bad. Because she had already seen obscene colors in the old man's eyes.
"Today is a good day! Baby is about to be born, and a big beauty is also delivered."
The old man looked at An Ning, smiling sinisterly, "Little beauty, don't rush; wait until I finish meditating, then I'll come to favor you. As long as you obediently follow me and serve me well, when I become the leader of the Spiritual Nether Cult in the future, it's not impossible to let you be the Cult Leader's wife!"
