Chapter 494: Following the Clues
Although the scope had been reduced countless times, the range of the Aksai Chin region was still a bit too large for a search team of only three people. After flying for dozens of kilometers consecutively, especially when they arrived at the location before the squad's signal disappeared and found nothing, a shadow inevitably lingered in the hearts of the three.
"This won't work!"
Basalt looked anxious, silently clenching his fists. Aksai Chin was too big; with the efficiency of the three of them, by the time they found Teacher An, the day lilies would be cold (it would be too late).
"Then what to do?" Danba was somewhat helpless. Without clues, even if they were anxious, it was useless. Having strength but nowhere to use it!
Just then, a Mandibuzz flew in from the distant sky. Mandibuzz looks like a vulture, but it has a ponytail made of feathers on its head with a bone stick as a hairpin, and a jawbone full of fangs on its waist. This Mandibuzz had just returned from foraging, its claws still grasping a large bone stick, with loose, dried meat faintly visible on the bone.
"Bronzong, take down this Mandibuzz!"
Basalt patted Bronzong.
"Understood!"
Bronzong understood and quickly carried Basalt into the sky to intercept Mandibuzz. Bronzong's aura was terrifying. Although Mandibuzz was irritable, it dared to be angry but not speak, only trying to detour. Unfortunately, Bronzong had completely targeted it.
The gravity magnetic field descended; Mandibuzz was wrapped by super-strong gravity, losing its flight ability directly, and descended rapidly. Immediately after, an electric current shot out from Bronzong, flying around Mandibuzz but not touching it at all. But the more like this, the more afraid Mandibuzz became. Because this showed that the opponent's strength was far above its own.
"Come here; I'll ask you a few questions. After answering honestly, I'll let you go." Basalt shouted loudly.
Basalt's idea was simple: get information from wild Pokémon. As the landlords of this generation, they must know what happened here relatively well. From them, there might be unexpected surprises.
Having been given a head-on blow by Bronzong, and with the gravity magnetic field not dissipating, Mandibuzz completely became meat on the chopping block; to kill or to cut depended entirely on Basalt's whim. Mandibuzz dared not resist, obediently landing beside Basalt, shivering. Went out today without checking the almanac!
"Did you see a human squad today?"
Bronzong was responsible for translating for Basalt. But to Basalt's disappointment, Mandibuzz shook its head. Basalt looked at Bronzong, who also sighed, "Judging from the psychic fluctuations, it shouldn't be lying."
"Alright then! You are free!" Basalt was greatly disappointed.
Hearing this, Mandibuzz was overjoyed, immediately flapping its wings to fly away.
But just then, Fang Xiaolong shouted, "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Basalt and Danba were puzzled. And Mandibuzz was scared into a shiver.
Fang Xiaolong didn't answer but walked quickly forward, examining the bone stick in Mandibuzz's claws, and said in horror, "This bone is a human calf!"
"What?"
Basalt and Danba were shocked. They also examined the bone carefully and found that this bone indeed looked very much like a human calf. However, because there wasn't much meat on the bone, and the bone was broken, they didn't notice it.
"Bastard! You dare to lie to us?" Basalt was furious.
At the same time, feeling Basalt's anger, Excadrill rushed forward, kicked Mandibuzz down with one foot, and its metal claws pressed against its hairless throat.
"Exc~a~"
Excadrill exerted slight force, and blood instantly seeped from Mandibuzz's neck.
"Mandi~ Mandi~"
Mandibuzz was extremely scared, denying repeatedly.
"Don't know? Then tell me, where did this bone come from?" Basalt questioned sternly.
Instantly, Mandibuzz spilled the beans like pouring beans.
It turned out this bone was dug from a valley pit a hundred miles away. recently, not-so-fresh flesh and blood appeared there every day; it simply became a buffet for nearby Mandibuzz. It brought the bone back because it had a Vullaby (Mandibuzz chick) to raise.
Under Bronzong's translation, the three looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes. The valley mentioned by Mandibuzz definitely had big problems. And if nothing unexpected happened, it was most likely related to the disappearance of the border defense squad where Teacher An was.
"We must go see that valley!" Basalt spoke first.
"Of course we must go, but let me report the situation to the Director first!"
Fang Xiaolong nodded and dialed Liu Qi's number on the satellite phone. Liu Qi also realized something was wrong, but restricted by national agreements, he dared not cross the boundary. After reporting, the three continued to advance, letting Mandibuzz lead the way.
In the gloomy and weird cave, the lich-like old man sat cross-legged, hands loosely forming a circle on his lower dantian, eyes closed, meditating. This is the special meditation method of the "Spiritual Nether Cult" of the Indian Alliance, which can tap the power of spirit and body, achieving effects of strengthening yang and prolonging life. Don't be fooled by the old man looking only fifty or sixty; in fact, he is nearly eighty. Even so, he can still miraculously engage in sexual activities; this is all thanks to the meditation method.
After an unknown amount of time, the lich old man finally opened his eyes, withdrawing from the meditation state. When his eyes looked at An Ning, the lust in his eyes could no longer be hidden. His meditation at this time, besides habit, was mainly to adjust his physical state to ensure he could go all out and have fun next.
Stared at and sized up by the old man, An Ning, who was not even afraid of death, showed a look of fear in her eyes. However, her mind was suppressed by Banette; not only was her brain groggy, but her body was also uncontrollable, completely a lamb to be slaughtered. With final stubbornness on her face, An Ning silently closed her eyes.
"Little girl, you really need discipline, don't you? But I like this tune the most."
The lich old man rubbed his hands, laughing hey-hey, "Because conquering like this gives more sense of accomplishment."
Saying that, the lich old man slowly untied his belt.
But just then, a shadow quickly passed through the cave, finally turning into a Pokémon with a dark purple body, very short, but with jewel-like eyes that glowed in pitch darkness: it was Sableye!
"Sab~leye~"
Sableye jumped around, dancing with joy (gesticulating).
"What did you say? A small squad is coming this way?"
The lich old man was shocked. This Sableye had the ability "Keen Eye"; it was the secret sentry guard he placed at the entrance. Disturbances within a few kilometers could hardly escape its detection.
"Couldn't it be passing trainers? Don't scare yourself!"
"Sab~leye~"
Sableye shook its head repeatedly to deny. The opponent was coming this way; the target was very clear!
"Could it be discovered?"
The lich old man frowned tightly. In the morning, he discovered the Huaxia border defense squad approaching and had to eliminate them. He knew Huaxia shouldn't be provoked, but didn't expect the other side to come so fast! Because the Aksai Chin region was too big. And the old man knew very well that the three alliances couldn't send heavy troops into the disputed area. This was also the reason he temporarily set his lair here. Who would have thought that after acting in the morning, uninvited guests would arrive in the afternoon.
Lust receded, and the lich old man walked out of the cave with a gloomy face. As long as it wasn't a Gym Leader-level trainer, he would kill however many came!
