The beautiful scene before my eyes is just like the legendary underwater dragon palace.
"What a beautiful thing, meow! It's so colorful that my eyes are dazzled for a moment, but it's so beautiful, meow." Lu Cao looked around, her eyes full of novelty and the joy of discovering a beautiful scenery.
"Take a picture, Rotom." Su Yi called.
"Huh, Lotom is finally out." Rotom on the mobile phone flew out and said.
When it first came into contact with the third group, it did not dare to show up rashly.
Although Master Yuanye has already seen it, it will still be quite troublesome to explain it at that time. After all, Pokémon and high technology will bring a great shock to them.
Rotom's mobile phone captured this colorful coral maze made up of corals that had accumulated for who knows how many years.
"It sounds like there is a sound of flowing water." Lucao moved his cat ears and said.
"Oh?" Su Yi listened carefully and indeed there was the sound of gurgling water.
"Is there a pond nearby?" Su Yi looked up in confusion. There were hills surrounded by plants, and there was no sign of water flowing anywhere.
"Su Yi meow! If there is a pond, there must be coral shrimps, pearl oysters, and lantern fish meow?" Lu Cao said expectantly, her eyes sparkling.
"Dew grass." Su Yi sighed with a smile.
What Lucao was talking about was what they discovered when they first climbed up to the Coral Plateau.
The harvest from that small pond gave people a sense of surprise, as if they had discovered a treasure in an unknown corner. I didn’t expect Lu Cao to be so looking forward to such an exploration. It seemed that he was always full of passion for exploration.
"Meow over here!" Lucao found a gap and waved.
Su Yi struggled to squeeze into the gap between the rocks and corals. Lu Cao's petite body allowed him to move flexibly in this narrow space.
"Lucao, don't run so fast." Su Yi said with a helpless smile as he watched the cat's figure suddenly jump into the jungle of corals and rocks.
"Meow here!" Lu Cao's excited voice came.
After squeezing out the gap, the space in front of me became wider.
A stream of water flowed down from the terrace above, gathering into a pool on the open space in front of us.
In the pool, water plants, fish, shrimps, and shells are scattered in the crystal clear water. The sunlight shines through the cracks in the coral rocks above, casting various shadows and reflecting the sparkling waves.
This scene is quite similar to the one described in "Notes on the Small Rock Pool":
There are probably hundreds of fish in the pond, all of them seem to be swimming in the air without any support. Under the sunlight, their shadows are cast on the rocks, motionless. Suddenly they fly away, and come and go quickly, as if they are enjoying themselves with the visitors.
"Lotom is so beautiful." Rotom kept taking pictures on his phone.
"Su Yi meow! Fish and shrimp meow!" Lu Cao suppressed her excitement and spoke in a low voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing them.
"I understand. Come out, Chansey, Incandescent Bug, and Bear." Because the space was limited, Su Yi only released the smaller Pokémon.
"Friends, our target is that!" Su Yi pointed at the fish, shrimps and shells in the water and said with a smile.
“Gurgle!”
"lucky!"
Jigglypuff and Apprentice Bear shouted eagerly.
Su Yi placed the burning bug on his head and said, "The little guy who is afraid of water should stay here."
"Chiwu~" The burning insect happily lay on Su Yi's head, looking around curiously at the beautiful scenery.
"Everyone, let's work hard for tonight's banquet!" Su Yi installed the capture net on the catapult and said with a smile.
The little ones encouraged themselves excitedly.
"Catch them off guard!" Su Yi shouted, rushed into the pool, and launched the capture net towards the place where the most fish were swimming.
"Kalulu!" Apprentice Xiong jumped into the water, using split tiles and lower body kicks to resist the obstruction of the water flow, and using his hands and feet to knock the fish and shrimp out of the water.
"Lucky!" Jilidan was busy harvesting the prey caught by his bear apprentice.
The cat used the cat attack technique and used the blade of the short knife to slap the fish and shrimp onto the shore one by one.
For a moment, the pond became a playground for Su Yi and his party. In this small world, Su Yi and the Pokémons had a great time.
"Hahaha! What a great harvest!" Su Yi dragged the harvest ashore. The lively fish were jumping around, which was the beautiful sight of the harvest.
"Big fish meow!" Lu Cao shouted as she grabbed the tail of a big fish. The big fish was swinging violently and Lu Cao's small claws gradually lost their hold.
Wow!
The big fish broke free from the cat's claws and jumped out of the water. Just as it was about to fall into the water and escape into the crevice of the rocks, the burning worm above Su Yi's head quickly spit out a tough silk thread to trap the big fish.
"Beautiful! Burning worm!" Su Yi grabbed the silk line and dragged the big fish ashore.
“Gurgle!”
"lucky!"
"Meow!"
The companions cheered happily.
"Huh." Su Yi let out a breath, and looked at his friends who were dancing with joy, a smile on his face.
"That's a nice shot, Loto." The Rotom cell phone took a picture of this scene at the right time.
"Su Yi meow! There seems to be something here meow!" Just as Su Yi was putting away his harvest, Lu Cao shouted beside the rocks on the shore.
"Oh?" Su Yi walked over and saw a cherry-colored bone exposed under the coral.
"Coral red bones? Disciple Xiong, use the broken rocks to split the coral rock." Su Yi said.
"Crack!" Apprentice Bear swung out his fist wrapped in light, smashing the rocks accumulated above the remains.
Afterwards, Su Yi and his partners began to dig, and they found an astonishing number of bones.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 93 A hidden corner
"This place can't be a burial ground." Su Yi said in surprise.
Bones stained cherry red were dug out one by one, but more were buried deeper and were revealed little by little as the excavation continued.
The scene was like a small piece of coral rock built on a pile of bones.
Fortunately, the coral rock is not very hard, and Apprentice Bear used a few rock crushers to clear a large area of coral rock on the shore.
"This should not be a natural accumulation. It is more like a monster's nest or something. The remains were piled here, and then the nest was abandoned for some reason and was gradually buried by corals." Su Yi analyzed.
Bang!
"Lubei!?" The bear apprentice smashed another piece of rock, but what appeared behind it made it cry out in surprise.
"Kalu!" Apprentice Xiong called out to Su Yi loudly.
"Is this a cave?" Su Yi walked over and said in surprise.
Behind the coral rock that Apprentice Bear broke was a rock wall with a hole on it that could only be entered by crawling.
"Let's go in and take a look." Su Yi stopped digging and planned to crawl in to find out what was going on.
After entering the cave, there is a fairly large space inside, but it is not very high, about two and a half meters.
Rotom on the cell phone turned on the flashlight at the right time.
"This!" Su Yi exclaimed in surprise after seeing the scene in front of him.
The cave is not empty, but contains many traces of biological activities.
For example, things built with rocks, things similar to stoves, broken utensils, some processed bones, etc.
But these things have been covered in dust for a long time and are in a dilapidated state.
"Was this once a camp, or a small settlement?" Su Yi guessed as he surveyed the surrounding ruins.
"Su Yi, there is a mural of Lotom on the ceiling of the cave!" said the mobile phone Rotom.
Su Yi looked along the light of Rotom's mobile phone and saw some kind of carved picture on the rock wall.
In the mural, a group of little people with cat-ear features surround a horse-like creature with a single horn.
The creature raised its hoof, and lines were used around the horn on its head to represent light, while lightning flashed from the sky.
"Cat ears, it should be the Detel tribe, could it be the Terrace Musical Tribe? If nothing unexpected happens, this creature should be a Qilin." Su Yi said.
"Lucky" Jigglypuff walked under the mural, discovered something, and patted away the dust under the mural with his hands.
"There is more content below." Su Yi came forward to carefully identify it.
But due to the erosion of time, the lines here have become blurred.
But it can be seen that the Qilin is standing on the platform, there is something below it, and it is attacking it.
"What the Qilin is fighting with should be some kind of ancient dragon. Could the ancient dragon in the Coral Plateau be the Mingbo Dragon?" Su Yi guessed based on his knowledge.
"Su Yi, meow, there are murals here too." Lu Cao said as he peeled off the thick dust with a short knife.
"What is recorded here?" Su Yi asked his Rotom phone to take a picture of it, and then came to the mural to check it out.
In the mural, Deter cats are running around in panic, the earth is cracking, and rocks are falling.
"Is it an earthquake? Or did the aftermath of the ancient dragons' battle affect them?" Su Yi touched his chin and found it more and more interesting.
This is apparently an ancient story recorded by the Deter people.
They stand in awe of the powerful strength of the ancient dragons, struggling to survive in the world of ancient dragons and monsters, and at the same time witness the changes of this land.
"Are there any more murals?" Su Yi really wanted to know what else had happened. These murals were the epic of this plateau.
Su Yi used a knife to clear the dust accumulated on the rock wall and knocked on a few places at random, while Dew Grass and the Pokémon were rummaging through the surrounding ruins.
"No more?" Su Yi said regretfully.
There are no more murals on the rock walls, or they have been severely eroded and only some traces of lines can be made out.
"Su Yi meow, we found this thing meow." Lu Cao walked over and said, holding a bone.
"Is this a bone flute?" Su Yi took it and looked at it, and found that there were several artificial holes on the bone, which looked very much like a modern flute.
"Musical instruments? Then this could be a camp of the ancestors of the Terrace Musical Instruments Tribe." Su Yi said as he put away the bone flute. He planned to ask Coral of the Terrace Musical Instruments Tribe later to see if he knew anything.
"Could the burial ground outside the cave be where they piled up the remains of their prey?" Su Yi guessed.
