Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 30 The Chimney Hill Incident

The dense velvet obscured the moon, and the pervasive mist carried a chilling and eerie atmosphere, like some dark being hiding in the shadows that could not be looked at directly.

At this point, the roar that seemed to tear silk apart became like a messenger of light tearing through a curtain, exploding on the horizon with a rumbling sound at the end, as if the earth itself were cracking open.

Upon hearing the commotion, Jinghe and Daigo's expressions changed, and Gastly and MetalGreymon immediately rushed to their side.

next second.

Click! !

The wooden planks that originally separated the two hot springs were smashed by a huge rock.

The two hot springs have been connected.

"What's wrong?" Daigo asked hurriedly.

"Yes," Du Juan said, her cheeks, already slightly flushed from soaking in the hot spring, now resembling a ripe red apple.

Her cheeks were flushed, her original pigtails had come undone, and her wet hair was draped over her shoulders.

Fortunately, she, Aysa, and Jinghe were all wearing bath towels.

Daigo was also taken aback, but then realized what was happening and looked a little embarrassed.

"There's a rock! A huge rock fell down the mountain!" Asha, not being so perceptive, quickly added.

In fact, with a figure similar to Jinghe and Dawu, she is also... cough cough.

On the mountain?

Jing He, the only one present who appeared relatively calm, frowned and looked up at the mountain.

Because most of the hot springs in Kamayang Town rely on the temperature of Chimney Mountain, most of the hot springs and inns are located near Chimney Mountain.

Daigo and Jinghe's side was alright, but Dujuan and Yasha's side was almost right next to the rock face of Chimney Mountain.

Because of the distance and the rugged terrain, it is not possible to confirm what happened on the mountain with the naked eye.

However, due to the dim night, a faint light could be seen rising directly above them.

The flickering firelight, like a sharp sword in the night sky, gradually grew larger, threatening to tear a hole in the darkness.

"Could it be that a volcano has been breached and lava is about to seep out?" Jing He muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three people present changed drastically.

Aysa, who had changed her clothes sometime earlier, stared intently at the firelight in the night sky with a stern face, looking determined to go up.

If Chimney Mountain has indeed broken open in its rock face, causing magma to gush out, then judging from the direction of the firelight, Furnace Town is probably...
Fuyan Town is her hometown, and she can't just sit idly by!
It's not just her.

Although Daigo and Cuckoo's reactions were not as intense as Aya's, their attitudes were the same.

Noticing the expressions on the three people's faces, Jing He sighed inwardly.

He knew that in this situation, his status as a "teacher" was no longer enough to suppress the sense of justice in the three of them.

The firelight wasn't very noticeable at the moment, and because Chimney Hill itself was a dark red color, they probably wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for the falling rocks.

Meanwhile, the flames are showing a tendency to grow larger, but the trend is not obvious at the moment, suggesting that if it is indeed magma leaking from Chimney Mountain, this may be the best opportunity to make amends.

He didn't have much time to think, but he had already made up his mind.

"Cuckoo, Azalea, you two go and inform the teachers at the Lava City Gym, Lava City Police Department, and the Pokémon Center. Steven and I will go check it out."

If someone absolutely has to go, then as a teacher, it's unavoidable.

Daigo is the strongest of the four.

At the same time, his MetalGreymon, Skarmory, and even Libra Doll can take them away in the worst-case scenario where things are hopeless.

"Teacher Jinghe, I..." Du Juan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jinghe's unquestionable gaze.

"I see."

Du Juan lowered her head, took a deep breath, and understood the importance of the matter.

But Aysa wasn't as easy to talk to as she was.

"No, I have to go!"

Seemingly knowing what Jinghe was about to say, she immediately added, "I know this place best, that spot. I know a shortcut that's quick!"

Now is the time to race against time. Jing He could sense Yasha's determination and said in a deep voice:

"Alright! You lead the way, but if you encounter any problems, you must follow my instructions!"

"it is good!"

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly brought Jinghe his clothes.

Chimney Mountain. Jagged rocks, steep cliffs, three figures darting swiftly through.

"Is this the shortcut you were talking about?" Jinghe hopped over uneven stones of varying sizes, following Yasha's steps.

“I used to walk this route often. Although it looks dangerous, it’s safe as long as you don’t step on the wrong step,” Asha said, running in front.

Don't make a mistake.
Daigo and Jinghe glanced down at their feet at the same time.

in silence.

Jinghe felt a little regretful.

If it were just him and Daigo, they should be able to fly directly up there with Skarmory, MetalGreymon, and Libra Doll.

While using psychic powers to fly that high would consume a lot of a Pokémon's stamina and energy, running up there does conserve the Pokémon's energy for emergencies, and the time difference is minimal.
It's really a bit difficult for people who aren't "super rookies".

Fortunately, although Aysa seemed reckless, the shortcut she suggested did indeed get them to their destination.

quickly.

They arrived at a platform that was neither too big nor too small.

"Hey cha, hey cha—"

There are also many small georms and even rumblestones gathered on the platform, but they are huddled in the corner of the platform, looking as if they are afraid of something.

Upon seeing Jing He and the other two arrive, they shrank further into the corner, accompanied by a lot of rock fragments rolling down the mountain with a "gurgling" sound.

However, the three of them were now focused on a crimson crack in the rock wall in front of them.

The crack was small, about the size of a person who could pass through, and the firelight they saw below was coming from this crack.

"This is."

As the three stepped forward, they immediately felt a scorching heat emanating from the crack, far surpassing the heat of Fuyan Town.

Pulling-

suddenly.

A supersonic bat flew out of the crack at an extremely fast speed in a panic.

Jinghe and the other two quickly moved aside, preventing any conflict from breaking out.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of supersonic bats, along with one or two bigmouth bats, squeezed out of the crevice and flew quickly away from Chimney Mountain.

Seeing this, the expressions of the three gradually became serious.

Wild Pokémon are the most likely to react to changes in their environment. Whether it's Geodude or Zubat, it indicates that there is something they fear or that exists inside the cave.

"Gastly," Jinghe whispered.

Faced with this situation, it was absolutely unacceptable to rush in. Jinghe stopped the impetuous Yasha.

"Kou Jie~~"

Gastly floated out of his clothes, gazing at the bottomless crack, showing no fear, but rather a hint of excitement.

"Be careful."

Jinghe had no choice but to give a serious word of advice.

"Kou Jie!"

Gastly winked at him, let out a strange laugh, and transformed into a cloud of black mist, disappearing into the rock wall.

Time flies by, second by second.

To be honest, Jing He, who is usually calm, was a little nervous at this moment, not because she was worried about herself, but because she was worried about Gastly.

After all, the situation inside is still unclear, and Gastly's strength is not particularly outstanding.

What's more, this is Chimney Mountain!

"Kou Jie~~"

Fortunately, Gastly soon poked its head out of the rock wall.

It's so hot!

It stuck out its tongue, indicating that it disliked the temperature in Chimney Hill.

Seeing it appear made Jinghe breathe a sigh of relief, and she asked, "Gastly, how is it?"

"Kou Jie!!"

Ghost Hand took a deep breath, and his body suddenly swelled up.

There's a big guy inside!
