Elf: I asked you to take the college entrance examination, and you took out a modifier?

Yun Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised by this long sleep. He even felt that if Manaphy didn't have to eat the Heart of the Ocean every day to restore his original power, he would not bother to wake up like this.

However, such a long sleep was indeed meaningful - after a few days of sleep recovery, Manaphy's body seemed to have recovered more than half, and his breath became much more stable. Except for the slow recovery of his original power, he recovered quite well overall, and did not look like he had just been seriously injured.

At this moment, Yun Xiao quietly pressed the camera on his chest, handed a can of cubes over his shoulder, and then let go.

The jar of Ocean Heart disappeared directly into the air, and nothing was recorded by the camera on his body.

And in Yun Xiao's heart, Manaphy's voice also came.

[Hmm——I slept so well. Hey, human, where are you now? ]

"In a secret place. To put it simply, I am competing with a few other people."

Yun Xiao continued to move forward while silently replying in his heart.

[Competition? That's boring. You humans always like to fight with each other. Even the elves in the wild may get along better than you do.]

Manaphy opened the jar with the tentacles on its head, put a cube in its mouth and began to chew.

But Yun Xiao seemed to have thought of something and said in his heart:

"It looks like you've recovered well. What level of strength can you display?"

[According to your human classification of strength... probably at the king level. 】

Manaphy thought for a moment, then immediately realized something, looked around, and said with some caution:

[Wait, why are you asking this? You don’t think of this prince as your bodyguard! ! ]

[Let me make it clear first! This prince does not want to fight, so don’t count on me for a fight! ]

Yun Xiao looked at Manaphy's nervous expression and couldn't help but laugh for a moment.

He didn't expect Manaphy to help him fight this time. Under the circumstances, it would not be a good idea to expose Manaphy's existence to the Alliance.

But I didn't expect that this prince of the sea, who was obviously at the champion level, would be so resistant to fighting...

In that case, why were you so active yesterday morning?

I thought I was in trouble, but you can really make it..

Yun Xiao was thinking silently in his heart, but Manaphy said loudly again:

[Hey, hey, human, what's that look in your eyes? Are you secretly slandering this prince in your heart? ]

[This prince is not bad at fighting, he just loves peace! ]

[It’s definitely not like I’ve never fought before! Really not! ]

"Okay, okay..."

Yun Xiao nodded helplessly.

You're like this, what else can I do? I can only obey you..

...

After entering the valley area, Yun Xiao immediately began looking for valuable resources nearby according to the prompts and marks given in the bounty missions he had accepted.

With the scanning and reconnaissance effect of the wave force, the whole process went much more smoothly than he had imagined. Within just a few hours, the precious resources he found had almost filled up his backpack. The scanning of the wave force also allowed him to successfully avoid several elves that exuded powerful auras.

According to the feeling transmitted back by the wave force, the aura of those elves is much stronger than that of the cunning Tengu just now, and it is very likely that they are already at the king level.

Adhering to the view and attitude that if you can't afford to offend, don't provoke, Yun Xiao rationally chose to avoid these elves when he found them.

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, covering the entire valley in scorching sunlight.

It was already noon and Yun Xiao felt a little hungry. He found a shady place to sit down, took out a bunch of fruits he had collected on the road, and started to eat lunch.

Although tree fruits are not as satisfying as grilled fish, Yun Xiao, as a craftsman-level energy block maker, has reached a new level of understanding of tree fruits. He can tell at a glance which tree fruits are delicious and which are not.

Like the pile of fruits in his hand now, they looked wrinkled, without any juice, and had a withered yellow color. A normal person would not have any appetite when seeing them.

But in fact, it is a rare and delicious tree fruit that can make people taste like vanilla ice cream.

Yun Xiao lowered his head to eat the fruit while thinking about what to do next today.

He has completed most of the bounty missions on hand, and the resources and ores currently in his backpack will definitely earn him a high score in this assessment.

Considering my performance along the way, I estimated that it should not be a problem for me to get into the top two in points and qualify for the next step of the plan.

"According to the rules... the time is almost up. After eating these fruits, let's go back and find the exit..."

Yun Xiao glanced at the sky and muttered to himself.

However, at this moment, an extremely wonderful feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

He suddenly looked in one direction - there seemed to be something in that direction that was connected to him, as if it was calling him.

This feeling was extremely similar to the feeling he had in his heart when he stood in front of the altar of Arceus. Not only that, Yun Xiao could also clearly feel that the bond between this feeling and himself was the super-power in his body!

Yun Xiao stood up immediately.

The power of super-conquer comes from the power of Arceus, and there is no reason for him to miss anything that can resonate with this power.

After walking in the direction of that feeling for less than five minutes, Yun Xiao stopped.

What appeared before my eyes was a huge cave.

Looking from the outside, the cave was completely dark. No matter how hard one tried, one could not see anything clearly. It was as if the sunlight was blocked outside the cave.

Yun Xiao soon discovered that even his wave power could not penetrate the darkness at the entrance and scan the situation inside the cave!

This made him even more certain of one thing - the thing that was resonating with him was in this cave!

Moreover, it is definitely not an ordinary thing!

He took a deep breath and walked into the cave.

However, what he didn't know was that the moment he stepped into the cave, the entrance of the cave disappeared in an instant.

There was only a bare rock wall left, quietly reflecting the light under the sunlight...

Chapter 168 The Throne and the King

At the same time, in the monitoring room of the secret realm's central base, the moment Yun Xiao walked into the cave, the image on his screen was instantly cut off, leaving only the crackling sound of electricity and a snowy screen.

Zhang Tianwang, who had been paying attention to Yun Xiao's situation, immediately noticed this situation and frowned.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the signal?"

The man in sunglasses was also stunned. In order to ensure the safety of this plan, the alliance had spent a large amount of money to build several signal base stations in the secret realm. In theory, this kind of situation should never happen.

But since it has already happened, let’s first ensure the kid’s safety.

He immediately picked up his phone and contacted the group of security personnel who had been following Yun Xiao.

However, the next moment, when he heard the voice coming from the phone, the man in sunglasses' face changed instantly.

"What did you say? I didn't see any caves nearby?! How is this possible?!"

After Yun Xiao demonstrated his ability to use wave force, in order to prevent the security personnel around him from being discovered by him and thus affecting his normal actions, Zhang Tianwang deliberately kept a distance of about 500 meters between this group of security personnel and Yun Xiao.

However, who could have imagined that in just less than a minute, Yun Xiao, connected to the cave, disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the photos uploaded on the phone screen, the man in sunglasses broke out in sweat.

He and Zhang Tianwang had just watched the kid enter a cave here, but now there was nothing left except a bare rock wall.

What's going on? !

Before the man in sunglasses could think about it, he saw Zhang Tianwang frown, stand up, close his eyes, and seem to be sensing something.

After a while, he opened his eyes again.

"...Aledo checked and found that there is indeed no cave behind the rock wall."

Even he couldn't help but feel irritated and anxious at this moment.

Strange, where did that boy go?

I finally found such a good seedling.. Why did it suddenly disappear? !

He stood up from his chair with a sullen look on his face.

"Immediately gather the nearby security personnel and have them conduct a carpet search of the secret area. We must find Yun Xiao."

"What about you?"

The man in sunglasses quickly began to contact other staff members in the secret realm.

King Zhang didn't even turn his head.

"I'll go there myself - even if the God of Creation comes today, I will rescue this kid."

...

At the same time, Yun Xiao didn't know that the alliance had been thrown into chaos due to his disappearance.

After he entered the cave, the surveillance camera on his body stopped working for some reason.

Yun Xiao originally planned to go deeper into the cave first, and then temporarily cover the camera when he found the key items, but he didn't expect the camera to be scrapped.

At the same time, he also discovered that the road he had taken had turned into a dark, tangible darkness, and he could no longer turn back.

However, this situation did not make Yun Xiao feel even a little uneasy. Instead, the feeling of attraction in his heart became stronger and stronger.

White streams of light appeared under his feet, as if guiding him to move forward.

Yun Xiao walked forward along the only path in the cave. A minute later, he suddenly stopped.

Because the scene before him really surprised him.

——Everything around was made of dark blue crystals, with countless rays of light flowing on its surface, and a chilly chill filled the air.

And in the very center of this crystal area, there is a huge throne.

The throne seemed to be made of stone, but it was somewhat shabby and had gaps all over it.

However, even so, under the shining crystal light all around, the throne still appears sacred and majestic.

When Yun Xiao looked at the throne, he discovered that the feeling that attracted him came from this throne!

He subconsciously took a step closer to the throne, but saw a snow-white figure suddenly flash out from behind the throne and block his way!

The temperature in the entire space dropped to an exaggerated level in an instant, and even the flow of air seemed to slow down.
