A lot of gold coins were also collected.
"There are 23 coins in the bag in total. I just don't know how many people were caught here. I wonder if there will be enough to exchange them all back in the end."
"I don't know exactly how many people there are." Hua Jianming shook his head and replied, "You know, the news is always exaggerated. Even with the help of Polygon, it is impossible to make a completely accurate assessment of the number of people."
Then, Hua Jianming turned and looked at Mewtwo.
Mewtwo didn't have any answer, because this was still a place it couldn't detect with its psychic powers.
"So what is the reason that blocks the detection of my super powers?"
Just as Mewtwo was thinking hard, a black shadow suddenly emerged from Hua Jianming's shadow.
"I feel the ghostly origin."
Machado's words surprised Hua Jianming and Xia Chan, and Mewtwo also stared at Machado, who had gained something.
If there is anything in this world that can be called the origin of attributes, it is probably only the eighteen stone tablets carried by Arceus, who is called "God".
In mythology, Arceus is described as the first spirit born from an egg in the void when the universe did not yet exist.
The eighteen stone tablets that accompanied its birth represented eighteen attributes, and Arceus also used these eighteen stone tablets to create the entire world.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that these eighteen stone slabs are the origin of various attributes.
"When you went to see Arceus this time, did he carry the stone tablet?"
Machado replied, "When we arrived, the gods were gone. The King of Phoenix said that the gods expended a huge amount of energy to send them all to this world, and now they have fallen into an endless sleep. As for how to wake the gods, the King of Phoenix did not mention it."
Machado's irrelevant answer made Hua Jianming confirm his guess.
In the previous animation, Arceus fell into a sleeping state because of the loss of the stone tablet and severe loss of physical strength.
Now it seems that this Arceus is in the same situation as in the previous life and the stone tablet is also lost.
"Mashado, can you find the location of this origin?"
Machado thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure. This place is very complicated and mixed with the aura of the spirit world, but I will do my best."
After saying this, Machado closed his eyes and began to search.
Mewtwo, who was unable to perform his function, looked at Machado who was searching seriously with a depressed look, then tried to close his eyes and use his super powers to scan again, but still found nothing.
Well, poor Mewtwo is in self-doubt again...
This place is no longer the space of the ship itself, but a place similar to a dimensional space and is connected to the spiritual world in many places.
Although Hua Jianming and Xia Chan were very curious about what the spirit world looked like, as it was the world of the dead, the living were never allowed to enter.
Machado took Hua Jianming and Xia Chan through twists and turns, sometimes walking on the wall, sometimes walking underground, and sometimes crossing the room. Along the way, Hua Jianming subdued many wealth-seeking spirits in walking form.
"It should be in this room."
Finally, Machado and the other two stopped in front of a locked iron door.
Just when Hua Jianming was about to break in, the familiar laughter sounded again.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
It still started with a sharp and piercing laugh, and the mysterious woman appeared behind the two again.
As Hua Jianming and Xia Chan turned their heads, the locked iron door appeared behind the woman for some reason, and the area behind them became the corridor they came from.
Now even Hua Jianming and Xia Chan fell into self-doubt.
"Well, how many coins have you collected?" The woman didn't wait for Hua Jianming to answer, and immediately said, "Just a reminder, I have 32 hostages."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Hua Jianming and Xia Chan felt a pang in their hearts.
Because there were only 31 coins in the purses in their hands, and the last one, Suo Cailing, who was in walking form, was hugging the mysterious woman's thigh and looking at Hua Jianming and the others cautiously.
"This woman must have done it on purpose. I guess it will take some time before we can save the person."
Xia Chan was very angry. It was obvious that the other side was playing tricks on them.
The most important thing is that there is a black doorway next to the woman, which is the doorway to the spirit world. As long as she wants, she can step into the doorway at any time and disappear.
Hua Jianming and Xia Chan cannot pass through that doorway. Mewtwo and Machado may be fine, but since they cannot break through the space, they may not be able to return to the real world.
This is the home of the undead.
Hua Jianming looked at the mysterious woman and thought for a while: "Speaking of which, why do we have to save people?"
Xia Chan didn’t understand what Hua Jianming meant, but he knew that Hua Jianming was not a cold-blooded person, so he waited quietly for his next words.
Hua Jianming leaned close to Xia Chan's ear and whispered, "If I remember correctly, two or three months have passed since the first accident. If the other party is a vicious undead, I don't think the victims would be alive today. But if the other party has good intentions and didn't do anything to these people, then this also means that they will not be in danger for the time being."
Xia Chan instantly understood what Hua Jianming meant: "You mean we should take back the initiative first?"
From the time they boarded the ghost ship until now, the three of them had been operating under the leadership of this mysterious woman.
"Another purpose is to expose the other party's true intentions."
Yes, up to now Hua Jianming and his companions still don’t know what the other party’s specific purpose is.
Pokémon such as Mewtwo and Machado have great fighting power but are unable to use it, which is very frustrating.
"In that case, let's go find Bai Xia first, reunite with him and then discuss our next course of action."
After making the decision, Hua Jianming and Xia Chan returned the way they came without looking back, leaving the mysterious woman standing there like an undead ghost.
Hey, that's not the script!
Chapter 391: The New Ghost Ship and Lan
"Aren't you going to save people?"
"Give me back my money-snatching spirit and my coin!"
"Stop it right now!"
"If you keep doing this, I'll get angry!"
The mysterious woman continued to compress the dimensional space, trying to shorten the space between herself and the two people who had "escaped".
Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
Hua Jianming and Xia Chan quickened their pace tacitly after hearing the voice behind them.
The more they did this, the more anxious the mysterious woman became.
As the mysterious woman's voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared, Hua Jianming and Xia Chan returned to the cabin where they were at the beginning.
"Mega Swampert, final blow, use [Waterfall]!"
An astonishing momentum was released from Mega Swampert, and the abundant water-attribute energy was instantly transformed into an exploding stream of water. Mega Swampert took advantage of the power of the water stream and soared into the air, pressing towards the already breathless Night Slayer with all his strength.
boom!
Nocturne was unable to dodge and was pinned to the ground by Swampert. Its eyes turned into spiral shapes on the spot and it completely lost its combat effectiveness.
At this time, the bug Pokémon left by Xia Chan also cleaned up most of the enemies with the help of Chi Baixia, Gyarados and Kingdrake.
Hua Jianming distributed many feeding balls to Chi Baixia and Xia Chan on the spot, and subdued all the ghost-type Pokémon that had lost their combat ability, including the Night Elves.
As for those ghost-type Pokémon that survived the battle and still had combat power, they disappeared without anyone noticing.
Chi Baixia, who had just finished a battle, looked a little tired.
The opponent's strength was at the middle level of the King level. He and Mega Swampert had to try their best to defeat Night Slayer.
"What's next?"
Before Hua Jianming could say anything, the entire ghost ship began to shake violently.
The three of them quickly ran out of the cabin.
The ghost ship is surrounded by dense swarms of light and fat creatures, a mixture of red and blue. They float on the sea and surround the ghost ship tightly.
They have broad arms but no lower limbs. They have a crown-like structure on their heads, and their gauze-like hands and feet are covered with poisonous needles that are invisible to the naked eye.
The male fluttery has a blue body, eyelashes above the eyes, and frowning lips. The female fluttery has a pink body, eyelashes below the eyes, and smiling lips.
The same is true for the light and fluttery evolved form of Chubby.
"This number is too terrifying!"
Even Xia Chan, who had a large army of insects, felt powerless when seeing the scene before him. The number of the insect army was nothing compared to these light and fat creatures in front of him.
"Well, can you give me back my money-snatching spirit and coins now?" The mysterious woman thought for a moment and added, "And my men."
"Don't talk nonsense. We can leave from the air. We can only release your men if you return the humans you kidnapped to us."
Just as Hua Jianming was arguing with the mysterious woman, a strange ship suddenly came from the distance.
The second ghost ship!
"Well, you just didn't listen to me, and now you're in trouble, right?"
The mysterious woman was shocked to see the ghost ship burning with enchanting flames, but she actually commanded Qingpiaopiao and Chubby to block her own ghost ship.
“Hehehe!” A woman wearing a black dress and with a pale face floated into the air from the boat, “Shan, when will you hand those humans over to me, your sister?”
"Lan, those are living humans."
Lan didn't care, but began to send out his own elves. A large number of broken wheels appeared from all over the ghost ship and jumped into the sea.
The Broken Wheel is a ghost elf that was reborn after the seaweed floating on the seabed absorbed the parts of the sunken ship. It consists of a rudder and an anchor, and the anchor part is entangled by seaweed.
In fact, green seaweed is their true form.
They use seaweed to collect garbage in the sea to sustain their bodies. The green algae fragments that look like chains can even stretch for hundreds of meters.
This is a terrifying Pokémon that can even knock down the Howler Whale King with one blow.
Under Lan's command, the broken wheels stretched out broken algae to surround all the light and fat ships, including the ghost ship, in circles.
"Shan, I'll give you one more chance." At this moment, her blue eyes were red, and her originally delicate face became extremely ferocious. "Hand over all the humans, and I will let you go."
Although they both have ghost attributes, the grass-attributed Porozuki can be said to be a perfect match for the water-attributed Qingpiaopiao and Chubby.
Shan saw it all and was worried.
After a quick observation, she looked at Hua Jianming and the other two, and even forgot to add her catchphrase: "Humans, if you want to survive, use all your strength to deal with Lan and her men, otherwise we will all be finished."
Seeing that Hua Jianming and the other two looked unconvinced, Shan began to explain.
