Chapter 284 Danyu's Gene Injection Treatment, Tang She's Unparalleled Fortune (Double monthly event at the beginning of the month, please vote for me)
Mo Zhen broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that he would have to make another difficult decision!

He glanced around hesitantly, then felt his weakened body after fighting with Natsume, and tentatively spoke to Zekrom.

"This...is it really impossible for me to do it? I'm not sure if I can do it..."

Czechrom glanced around and sneered.

【Otherwise, the gene pool of that toothpaste tube holder over there has been completely contaminated by the armored clam and is utterly useless. As for that old man over there, he's over a hundred years old, and even a fool would know he's doomed. Since things have come to this, and you're unwilling, I think we should activate Plan A...】

"Wait...wait, I'm not completely incapable! Damn, I'm really giving up, I'll just go for it, okay?"

Hearing this, Mo Zhen knew that he now had no choice but to go...

……

Meanwhile, while Danyu was undergoing intensive gene injection treatment, her unfortunate younger brother, Wuli, was riding Milton, cautiously landing on a barren wasteland covered with jagged rocks near the entrance to the tourmaline cave.

"Om-"

The purplish-red glow of Millerton's tail thrusters slowly faded, and its metal claws lightly touched the ground, making a soft sound.

Wu Li practically tumbled off the car seat, her legs as limp as overcooked noodles. She stumbled upon landing, nearly falling face-first into the mud.

He shrank back, his eyes filled with terror, scanning his surroundings rapidly like a startled mouse.

Not far ahead, the dark cave entrance exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

A cold wind blew out from the depths of the cave, carrying a strange smell like ozone mixed with damp rocks after a thunderstorm, making Wu Li's hair stand on end.

“Lo...Lotom…”

Wu Li's voice trembled violently, choked with sobs, and he almost instinctively clutched his Rotom phone tightly to his chest, as if it were the only piece of driftwood that could save him.

"I...I think...we should...gather some information outside the cave first...it's too dark inside...I...I can't breathe..."

He rambled on incoherently as he uncontrollably took two steps back, as if every inch further from the cave entrance would give him a greater sense of security.

Meanwhile, deep within the cave, a verdant figure glided silently through the intricate cave passages, like a ghost.

Tang She's golden snake eyes gleamed with excitement and greed in the dim light, like two scorching searchlights, frantically scanning every corner it passed.

"Hiss... This is it! The Tourmaline Cave! My third spirit ring is here!"

The dense electrical energy permeating the air made it feel slightly uncomfortable, but it was more of an ecstatic joy at getting closer to its target!

The cave interior is far larger and more complex than it appears from the outside. Huge stalactites and stalagmites interlock like the fangs of a giant beast, and countless tourmalines of varying shades of blue are embedded in the cave walls. They seem to be alive, emitting a soft glow and subtle crackling sounds, making the entire cave appear bizarre and fantastical, as if stepping into a dreamlike and extraordinary lightning-filled secret realm.

However, Tang She's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Its mental perception spread out like a spider web, clearly capturing the target creatures—electric spiders—hidden behind stalagmites, in rock crevices, or hanging upside down from stalactites overhead.

But these guys... are just too weak!
Some were only the size of a palm, sneaking around, emitting pitifully weak energy fluctuations. At most, they had ten years of cultivation. When they saw the Tang snake pass by, they immediately shrank back into their nests in fright, their eight legs trembling like leaves.

Occasionally, a few slightly larger ones, about the size of a washbasin, with obvious sparks flying on their carapaces, would appear to Tang Snake as a flickering candle in the wind, at most a hundred years old!

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Tang Snake impatiently swept away a century-old electric spider that was trying to spray a weak electric net at it with its tail. The poor creature was hit as if by a heavy hammer, and with a scream, it crashed into the rock wall and passed out.

"This kind of trash doesn't even deserve to be my third soul ring! It's not even good enough to fill my teeth!"

Its burning desire was gradually replaced by a sense of anxiety. These low-level soul beasts simply could not provide the powerful soul skills and abundant soul power it needed!
"We must go deeper! There must be something even more powerful at a greater depth!"

Ignoring the trembling low-level electric spiders along the way, its extraordinary intelligence drove it to rush towards the core of the cave, following the increasingly dense electrical energy in the air!
The deeper you go, the higher the quality of the tourmaline around you seems to be, the deeper and more intense the blue color becomes, and the electric arcs it emits become thicker and more dazzling. In some places, small patches of constantly bursting electric swamps have even formed, emitting dangerous buzzing sounds.

Strangely, once you get to this area, you can hardly see any trace of Electric-type Pokémon.

There was no Magnemite buzzing, no Emolga rustling, and even the weakest Electivire had vanished without a trace.

A deathly silence reigned, save for the endless crackling of the high-grade tourmalines that only served to accentuate the eerie stillness.

This unusual stillness caused the Tang snake to slow its rapid gliding motion. It raised its head, warily flicking its tongue, sensing every subtle energy flow in the air.

"Hiss...something's not right..."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Its intuition and extraordinary wisdom were frantically warning that something extremely terrifying existed in this area, so much so that no elf dared to set foot here!
Just as its scales began to flare slightly from the invisible pressure—crack!
A faint yet exceptionally clear cracking sound of an electric arc came from the darkness high above it.

The golden vertical pupils of the Tang snake suddenly contracted into the most dangerous needle-like shape. Without thinking, its massive snake body sprang to the side like a taut bowstring to dodge!
Almost at the same instant it left its spot, boom!
A massive, dazzling golden lightning bolt, as thick as a bucket, ripped through the darkness like a divine spear of judgment, carrying an aura of annihilation, and slammed into the spot where it had just been!

The incredibly hard rocky ground was instantly blasted into a charred crater, and countless fragments of rock were melted by the high temperature and then cooled rapidly to form a bright red lava-like substance.

A terrifying pressure, so powerful it made one's soul tremble, crashed down from above like a tangible tsunami!
Tang She, still shaken, suddenly looked up—and there, on the cave's dome-shaped rock wall above her head, stood a terrifyingly enormous creature, far beyond imagination, silently attached to it!

Its size far exceeded any electric spider Tang Snake had ever seen; its hideous head alone was as big as a millstone!
Covered in a hard, black and yellow shell, its compound eyes, like eight evil gems burning with golden lightning, coldly surveyed the world below.

Eight sharp legs, like giant metal spears, are deeply embedded in the hard rock wall, as stable as Mount Tai.

Its enormous belly was covered with strange and dazzling golden lightning patterns, which were now slightly contracting and pulsating, with thick golden arcs of electricity jumping on its surface that made one's scalp crawl!
Crackling——!
Endless bolts of lightning surrounded its mountain-like body, illuminating it as if it were the embodiment of thunder. This aura... far surpassed a thousand years! It even far surpassed the chubby creature it had absorbed before!
This is a terrifying soul beast with nearly ten thousand years of cultivation!
Moreover… Tang Snake’s pupils trembled violently. It could clearly see that in the center of the giant electric spider’s forehead, a golden pattern like a lightning crown was radiating a dazzling divine light. A powerful aura, like a domain, spread out from its center, domineeringly repelling all surrounding energy!
Domineering aura!

This is actually a Tyrant Electric Spider with a rare and domineering aura!

"Hiss... hiss!!!"

Tang Snake gasped, feeling a chill run through him instantly!
Its so-called "world-shaking wisdom" and "divine inheritance" were shattered in the face of this absolute power and terrifying pressure!

Only one thought screamed in his mind—a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast! This is a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast! No, I have to run!

But soon, Tang Snake couldn't help but hum as it thought about how the incredibly powerful, millennia-old overlord, the electric spider, would become its soul ring.

Hehehe, if I absorb this spirit ring, then those Tang dogs and Tang Long will all have to kneel down before me obediently, right? At that time, that damned red suit... Before Tang She could come back to his senses from his fantasy time, a cold electric light flashed in the eight compound eyes of the overlord electric spider that was perched high on the cave ceiling.

It didn't even utter any warning hiss; one of its metal spear-like legs simply lifted slightly and casually pointed towards the Tang snake.

Crackling sound—boom!

A bolt of lightning, far thicker and more violent than before, like a thunder god's whip tearing the sky, instantly traversed a distance of tens of meters and struck down with a speed beyond visual perception!

“Hiss—!!!”

The Tang snake only had time to let out a twisted and deformed shriek before its entire body was hit squarely by the dazzling heavenly lightning, without any time to make any effective evasion!

An indescribable, extreme numbness and burning pain swept through every nerve like a tsunami. It felt as if its soul had been blasted out of its body by this blow, and its vision went completely white, its mind went blank.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!"

It was electrocuted and its whole body convulsed violently. Its emerald green snake body turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting wisps of blue smoke, and a strange smell of burning protein filled the air.

Fortunately, its Grass-type nature played a crucial role at this moment, naturally giving it some resistance to Electric-type energy, which prevented the terrifying lightning strike, which was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Pokémon of the same level, from taking its life.

"Hiss... This... This beast!!!"

Amidst intense dizziness and excruciating pain, Tang She's extraordinary wisdom was forcibly awakened by the fear of death.

It instantly realized that there was an absolutely insurmountable gap in strength between itself and this ancient electric spider with its domineering aura! A direct confrontation? That would be the ultimate path to certain death!
The instinct for survival overwhelmed all greed. It didn't even bother to check its own injuries. The yellow spirit ring behind it flashed wildly as it pushed its spirit power almost to its limit.

First Soul Skill: Silver Entanglement - Slingshot Escape Technique!

Several silver grass vines stubbornly broke through the ground beside it, quickly intertwining to form a slingshot frame like loyal servants. Another vine precisely wrapped around its charred tail, pulled back with its last bit of strength, and then released it fiercely!

"Whoosh—Pfft!"

The Tang Snake's body, billowing black smoke, was launched like a catapult-launched stone, hurtling erratically towards the cave entrance!
Midway through, it even lost control and crashed hard into a large stalactite, sending stone chips flying everywhere. But it didn't care about anything else at that moment. It just relied on its tenacious will and the reaction force of each collision to flee desperately back the way it came!

Behind it, the domineering electric spider seemed completely unconcerned about the little insect's escape. It merely turned its compound eyes indifferently, and the golden arcs of electricity leaping around its body became even denser, as if declaring its inviolable sovereignty over this place.

Tang She didn't dare to stop, making the most of the Silver Grass slingshot, almost frantically fleeing with both hands and feet, finally breaking out of the gloomy entrance of the tourmaline cave in a disheveled state, and seeing the slightly gray sky outside again.

The relief of surviving the ordeal was intertwined with the fear of the millennia-old electric spider, filling its golden snake eyes with lingering dread.

But then, an extreme sense of resentment and ruthlessness replaced the fear.

It suddenly raised its head, its snake eyes fixed on the black goose not far away, which was holding a Rotom phone and peeking into the cave entrance with a cowardly look on its face!

"Hiss... Damn piece of trash, now it's your turn to test that beast's worth for me, the God-King!"

A wicked thought suddenly arose in its mind, and a relatively intact silver grass vine, like a ghost, silently extended rapidly along the ground, instantly covering a distance of dozens of meters, precisely wrapping around the Rotom phone in Wu Li's hand. Before it could sound an alarm, it abruptly pulled it away from Wu Li's embrace and dragged it into the shadow of the nearby rocks!

In the shadows, Tang Snake's serpentine eyes, burning with calculating cunning, stared intently at Rotom, whose screen was flashing wildly in fright. He lowered his voice and commanded in a threatening, hoarse tone.

"Hiss! Tin can, listen up! If you don't want to become scrap metal, do as I say! Tell your master that you sensed the energy fluctuations of Black King Zekrom deep in the cave, and have him go in and investigate immediately! Follow this route!"

As it spoke, it used the tips of its vines to forcefully draw a path on Rotom's screen, leading directly to the lair of the overlord electric spider!
Rotom was so frightened by the chilling killing intent and ghost-type soul power emanating from Tang Snake that his core went cold. His expression on the screen changed to (;Д`), and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty in a tearful electronic voice.

"Understood! Completely understood, Loto! I will follow your instructions exactly! Not a single word will be wrong, Loto! Please rest assured, Loto!"

"Hiss...it's for the best."

Tang She snorted coldly and slowly released the vines.

"I, the God-King, will be watching you from the shadows. If you dare to play any tricks... hehehe..."

That chilling laughter made Rotom feel as if he had been doused with ice water, and he instantly dared not have the slightest disloyalty.

Rotom, now free, didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately transformed into a streak of light and flew back to the panicked Wuli, reporting in an electronic voice.

"Wu Li! A major discovery! I just detected an unimaginably massive energy source deep within the cave! It's definitely a sign of the Black King's awakening! We must investigate immediately; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Wh...what?! Czechoslovakia?! It's inside?!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Li's face turned deathly pale, his legs trembled like leaves, and he instinctively backed away.

"No...no! This is too dangerous! I...I'm not ready! Shouldn't we call for backup first...?"

Upon seeing this, Rotom immediately switched the screen to Dan Yu's furious and ferocious expression (╬◣д◢), and the electronic voice suddenly rose, full of disappointment and frustration.

"Wuli! What are you hesitating for, Loto! Think about Miss Danyu's expectations of you, Loto! If she knew that you missed the golden opportunity to confirm the Black King's awakening and make a great contribution because of your cowardice... how disappointed and angry she would be, Loto! You don't want your sister to be extremely angry and furious because of your incompetence, do you?!"

"Sister...sister..."

The mere mention of Danyu's terrifying outburst instantly conjured up images of Wuli being repeatedly and horribly tortured by her sister. The immense fear even overwhelmed her apprehension about the unknown dangers deep within the cave.

He shuddered, his face contorted with a desperate expression that was worse than crying, and he sobbed in a trembling voice.

"I...I'll go! I'll go, okay?!"

He practically closed his eyes, scrambling up the Milton on all fours, gripping the handles tightly as if heading to his execution. He drove the Milton along the route forcibly marked by the Tang Serpent on Rotom's screen, turning back every few steps as he entered the deep, terrifying tourmaline cave.

In the shadows, Tang Snake watched as Wu Li's cowardly figure completely disappeared into the darkness of the cave. On his charred snake face, a knowing smile slowly spread across his face.

It seemed to already see the wonderful scene of Wu Li and the overlord electric spider being severely injured, while it would be the one to easily reap the ten-thousand-year soul ring from behind.

"Hehehe... Fight, fight! When you've fought to the death and are exhausted, that will be the time for this God-King to claim this heaven-defying fortune! The third soul ring, here I come!"
