Chapter 269 The Grass-Type Succubus Tang Snake Cleverly Seduces the Turtle Man Wu Li (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Tang snake was suddenly awakened from its deep, still slumber, its emerald green body trembling slightly with extreme excitement.

Its golden snake eyes gleamed with ambition, as if it could already see itself looking down upon all living beings after obtaining its third spirit ring.

"Electric Spider! The third spirit ring! It must be a powerful and rare electric spider! Only in this way can it be worthy of this God-King's astonishing wisdom and supreme potential!"

It began frantically searching its "rich" memories of adventures, trying to find spider-type soul beasts that met its requirements, especially those of the electric type.

It tried hard to recall, from Hinoki City to Sanyo City, from Fubuki Cave to Homba Market, it had seen countless Pokémon with Blackbeard, but...

"Molten Ant Beast, Iron Ant... These are ants! Vulture Girl, Warrior Eagle... These are big birds! Dust Mountain, Giant Rock Monster... These are trash! Nanny Bug, Knight Snail... These are bugs, but not spiders!"

The more it thought about it, the more its proud snake head unconsciously drooped slowly, and the excited light was gradually replaced by a layer of confusion and depression.

"What the hell! Electric-type... Spider? Does the Unova region... have this kind of Pokémon?"

It suddenly realized that it had never even seen a non-electric spider-type Pokémon, let alone an electric-type one.

In this light, spiders in the Pokémon world are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns—no, even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!
After all, in the Pokémon world, you can rattle off a long list of dragons and phoenixes like a menu, but if you really want to name a few spider-type Pokémon, you can count them on one hand.

"Damn it!!!"

Tang Snake slapped the ground with its tail in frustration, kicking up some dust.

Having the inheritance of a god-king and the guidance of a master, yet unable to find a suitable target, it felt like having the skill to slay a dragon but having no dragon to slay, making it so frustrated that it almost vomited blood!

If I can't find a suitable third spirit ring, how can I break through the bottleneck and increase my strength?
Could it be that the incredibly wise Tang God King is destined to perish at this threshold of level thirty? No! Absolutely not!

Just as it was at its wit's end and almost began to doubt its own existence, the sound of a man and a woman talking and arguing suddenly came from outside the bushes.

"Sister...sister...this...this isn't quite right, is it? We've come all the way from Padia North to Unova, not to chase after celebrities...we're on an important mission to investigate the Black King's awakened abnormal energy..."

A timid, stuttering boy's voice, thick with sobs and a sense of humility, pierced through the dense grass like a mosquito's buzz and reached Tang She's exceptionally keen ears.

That voice... sounds familiar?

Tang Snake's pupils instantly contracted into a dangerous vertical line. Astounding Wisdom immediately abandoned his obsession with the electric spider and, like the most experienced hunter, silently slid into the depths of the grass, peering out through the gaps between the leaves.

In a clearing in the woods not far away, stood a man and a woman dressed in very different styles.

The boy was thin and small, wearing a cheap-looking white school uniform. His hair was messy and drooping. He habitually hunched over, his eyes darted around, and his hands nervously twisted the hem of his clothes. He exuded an aura of "I am weak and easy to bully" from the inside out.

Tang She immediately recognized that this was none other than the Padia Turtle Man Wu Li, who had been cowering in a corner playing traditional crafts outside the Food God Competition venue because his older sister had scared him.
The woman beside him, on the other hand, was the complete opposite.

Danyu is tall and hot, wearing a dress with a strong Parthian rural style, but with bold modifications and a high degree of exposure. Her long black hair is draped like seaweed, and the strange beauty mark at the corner of her eye adds a touch of fierceness and charm to her.

At this moment, she crossed her arms, held her chin high, and looked down at her younger brother with the disdainful gaze one would give someone trash, her face filled with the pent-up anger of unfulfilled desire.

"Shut up! Wu Li! Missions, missions! All you ever think about is missions! What's so great about those stupid missions?! Finding Master Mo Zhen is the most important thing! As long as I can taste his flavor... Ooh ooh ooh ooh..."

When Mo Zhen was mentioned, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, her breathing became rapid, and an almost morbid longing surged in her eyes. Her tongue unconsciously licked the corner of her lips, as if she had already tasted some invisible delicacy.

Wu Li was so frightened by her sister's sudden change of expression that she trembled all over and subconsciously took half a step back. Her voice became even weaker and almost tearful.

“But…but sister…Principal Claver gave me a very serious warning…saying this is of utmost importance…if we delay important matters and the principal blames us…we can’t afford the consequences…”

"Um--?!"

Danyu's smile froze instantly, and the surrounding air seemed to suddenly drop in temperature!

She jerked her head away, and her face, which had been flushed just a second ago, instantly twisted into a hideous, demonic shape. Her eyes churned with a tangible black rage, as if an invisible shadow was baring its fangs and claws behind her!
"Wu-Li! You piece of trash! You spineless coward! I've wasted my time spoiling you!"

Dan Yu roared hysterically, suddenly raising her hand without any mercy, accompanied by a sharp palm wind.

Snapped! ! !
A sharp, resounding slap landed hard on Wu Li's cheek, with a force far exceeding that of ordinary people!
Before Wu Li could even scream, he was hit head-on by the [Charge] skill. His small body was lifted off the ground uncontrollably, tumbling twice in the air before crashing heavily onto the grass a few meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust and grass clippings.

He lay on the ground, covering his cheek where a clear five-finger mark had instantly appeared. His ears were ringing. The intense pain and immense humiliation instantly broke down his mental defenses, and tears streamed down his face like a burst dam.

Dan Yu didn't even bother to look at his pathetic state; she simply shook her seemingly numb hand, her chest heaving violently with anger.

Because she was easily defeated by Wanlong in the previous Food God Competition, and her beloved seasoning was also defeated by Paipa's incompetence, coupled with Wuli's disobedience at this moment, she was in a state of explosive rage with multiple resentments.

She pointed at Wu Li, who was lying on the ground, sobbing silently, her voice icy cold and filled with unwavering resolve.

"You really enjoy doing missions?! You listen to that old man so much?! Fine! Then go investigate yourself! Investigate that Black King's awakened abnormal energy! This glorious and arduous task is entirely yours! Don't bother me again! Do you hear me?!"

After saying that, she didn't give Wu Li any chance to react or beg, and suddenly whistled!
Whoosh-!
A scarlet figure darted out of the forest like lightning; it was her red motorcycle, the Lizard Gulliverton.

Danyu didn't even bother to look at her useless younger brother on the ground again. She nimbly flipped over, mounted Guleton, and twisted the throttle!
"Roar--!"

Therefore, Leton let out an excited roar, exerted force with all four limbs, and transformed into a red afterimage, disappearing at the end of the road, leaving only a pile of dust and utterly desperate Wu Li.

Wu Li was completely stunned.

Was he just...abandoned like that?
From childhood to adulthood, he was always his sister's shadow. When he was bullied, his sister would stand up for him; when he made a mistake, his sister would clean up his mess. Even becoming Milton's trainer and entering Orange Academy as an executive was largely due to Dan Yu's connections and strength.

He was like a vine twining around a big tree, never facing the real storms alone.

Now, the Great Tree abruptly throws him aside, leaving him alone in this completely unfamiliar Unova region to face a mission concerning the survival of the world: "Investigate the Black King"...

Overwhelmed by immense fear and helplessness, like a cold tide, he was instantly engulfed.

"Waaaaah... Sister... Sister... Don't leave me... I know I was wrong... I really know I was wrong..."

He could no longer hold back and burst into tears like a child, his face covered in tears and snot. He curled up in a ball, shivering on the cold grass, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

Despair and fear still lingered in his heart, but a strong feeling of hunger, like a Kentavious chicken, overwhelmed his sorrow.

Since things have come to this... let's just order a group meal first!

Wu Li trembled as he reached into the pocket of his tracksuit, instinctively trying to pull out his prized Rotom phone.

It contains not only all his contact information, but also his Pokédex, GPS navigator, payment tools... everything he needs as a modern trainer!
However… he touched it all… and it was empty.

I checked it again... and it was still empty!
Every pocket was turned inside out, and it was completely empty except for a few specks of dust and an energy bar!
In an instant, all the color drained from Wu Li's face, making him even paler than when he was slapped!
His Rotom phone, which also functions as a catalog... is gone?!

"No...it's impossible...how could this be...I've always kept it here..."

He was like a madman, frantically slapping his whole body with his hands, even tearing at his clothes, crawling and groping on the ground, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints due to extreme terror!

However, everything is in vain.

That inseparable Rotom phone seemed to have vanished into thin air!
Wu Li felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his mind went blank, and it was as if the whole world was spinning and collapsing!
Without his cell phone, he was instantly transformed into a primitive man, unable to move an inch in this unfamiliar Hezbollah region!
Moreover, it contains top-secret information about the investigation of the Black King's mission...

"It's over...it's all over..."

Wu Li's eyes rolled back, and he fell straight backward, unable to withstand the successive blows, and completely fainted.

On the other side, deep in some dense grass, a Rotom was bound tightly with several silver grass vines wrapped with dark blue magic patterns, tied up like a rice dumpling, and even the emoticons on the screen turned into terrified emoticons (╯°Д°)╯.

This Rotom is actually Uriage's lost cell phone and Pokédex.

The Tang snake coiled before it, its emerald green body swaying slightly in the shadows, its golden eyes coldly scrutinizing the pitiful electronic sprite.

It had seen Black Lotus and White Dew handle similar gadgets many times before, and through its astonishingly intelligent observation, it was convinced that this thing must also have an illustrated guide function, a mobile database.

Taking advantage of the perfect moment when Wu Li was slapped away by Dan Yu and was crying and had no time to pay attention to anything else, Tang She's yellow spirit ring flashed and disappeared behind him.

A silver grass vine, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, precisely wrapped around the Rotom phone that had fallen to the ground, and suddenly dragged it into the depths of the dense forest. The whole process was as fast as lightning and made no sound.

Now, Tang Snake lashed out with his tail, mercilessly whipping Wu Li's Rotom phone with his vine whip, each word carrying a chilling threat.

"Hiss—! You piece of tin trash! Tell me now, are there any electric spider-type soul beasts in the Unova region?! If you dare to say you don't know or try to fool me, today I'll let you taste the flavor of Silver Grass juice!"

Rotom was so frightened that its core program almost went haywire. The expression on the screen flickered wildly and finally froze at (°ー°). It hurriedly replied in a trembling electronic voice.

"Loto! Searching for Loto! Unova region... Electric type... Spider... Match successful! There is indeed one called Electric Spider! Electric and Bug dual type, Loto!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Tang She's eyes, and she lashed out with her vine whip again.

"Hiss?! Electric Spider? How come it's called Electric Spider? Are you kidding me, you tin can? This name is so perfunctory! You must have made it up on the spot to fool this God-King!"

"No, no! I would never dare to deceive you, Loto!"

Rotom was so frightened he almost crashed, and quickly projected the information from his database.

A screen of light appeared, clearly displaying a three-dimensional image of an elf.

It has a round body covered with soft yellow down, eight slender yet powerful legs, compound eyes that sparkle like jewels, and crackling electrical currents all around it—it is a veritable electric spider!
Although Tang She was illiterate and couldn't read the text descriptions next to the projection, as the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words," and the lifelike image couldn't be faked.

Tang She carefully examined the electric spider's ferocious yet electrically powerful appearance, feeling the subtle magnetic storm that seemed to emanate from the projection. His doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by a burning desire—this was it!
"Hiss—you're smart to be a tin can."

Tang She slightly toned down his murderous aura, but still coldly pressed on with his questions.

"Then tell me, where can I find this kind of electric spider?"

Rotom felt like he'd been granted a pardon, and his expression on the screen turned into a fawning one (▽`), as he rapidly searched for public network information in the Unova region.

"Connecting to the Unova region's ecological distribution network... Loading... Loto found! According to the League's ecological report, the Tourmaline Cave in the northern part of the Unova region, near Fuyuki City, is the largest and most stable habitat for Electabuzz! It is full of special electric ores, and the environment is very suitable for Electric-type Pokémon to survive!"

Hearing this, Tang She nodded in satisfaction. Tourmaline Cave...

"Very good, the intelligence is very useful."

It originally intended to release the tin can after asking the question, but just as the silver grass vine was about to loosen, its extraordinary wisdom suddenly caught a crucial question!

The last time it was able to absorb that powerful thousand-year soul ring, it was only by following that damned bastard in the red suit that it managed to snag the bargain.

This time, it's hunting for the third spirit ring, so its target is naturally "a little" higher than last time—the ten-thousand-year level!
But with its mere level 30 soul power, going looking for trouble with a ten-thousand-year-old electric spider? That would be like delivering takeout to the spider's door!
It needs a powerful fighter, a sucker who can face off against a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast head-on!

Its gaze involuntarily drifted to the black lily sitting on the ground, covering its face and sobbing softly, looking incredibly weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Although this guy looks like a complete coward, it has personally witnessed the strength of his crazy older sister Danyu outside the Food God Competition venue!
The red motorcycle lizard unleashed its full form, its aura terrifyingly overwhelming, even briefly able to contend with the superpowered enchantress Sabrina!
And the power of that super-powered enchantress, Sabrina, is even more unfathomable!
Last night, it was lurking nearby and witnessed firsthand how she beat that despicable bastard in the red suit, Mo Zhen, to his knees, using all sorts of unheard-of superpowers to nearly drain the life energy from his body!

The scene was far more dangerous and intense than any other battle between Pokémon it had ever seen. It clearly saw Mo Zhen's pathetic state as he collapsed like a limp rag doll and fled, and it almost thought that it had avenged its great enemy!

Although his younger brother, Wuli, seems like a complete burden, he does own a futuristic-looking purple motorcycle lizard.

As siblings, even if his skills are lacking, they shouldn't be too far behind his sister's, right?

Rounding up and putting it in a box, this guy's strength might barely match that bastard in the red suit.

It should be, probably, maybe, possibly enough to deal with a ten-thousand-year-old electric spider, right?
Recalling the information revealed during the siblings' previous argument, a cunning glint flashed in Tang She's eyes.

It glared fiercely at Rotom, and the silver grass vines tightened again, making Rotom's shell creak.

"Hiss—! Listen, you piece of junk! This God-King is giving you a task! Go back to your useless master and tell him—"

It lowered its voice and injected a stream of cold, ghostly soul power into Rotom's body.

"Tell him that you secretly flew off to gather intelligence and discovered unusual energy fluctuations, possibly caused by the Black King's awakening, and a massive black dragon shadow near the northern tourmaline caves. Tell him to go investigate immediately! Do you understand?!"

Rotom was so scared that his screen turned blue (╥﹏╥), and he hurriedly made a promise.

"Understood, Loto! I will follow your instructions exactly as you instructed! Not a single word will be wrong, Loto!"

"Hiss—it's for the best."

Tang Snake coldly threatened, slowly releasing the vines.

"I, the God-King, will be watching you from the shadows! If you dare to play any tricks, the taste of this soul imprint will make you regret ever being created!"
