Chapter 256 "Poison Coffin"
After 2 days.
In the Siam region, 20 miles from the border...
Ye Kai purchased a large quantity of supplies in the past two days.
After ensuring everything is in perfect order.
He went through complicated procedures before he could leave the country.
He wasn't supposed to get out.
If it weren't for the fact that the Alliance staff had seen Hong Zhong's prior notice, Ye Kai would have already been granted a "Siam region" work visa.
Only then were they allowed to pass.
The current world situation.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a young talent like Ye Kai to be released.
Of course, he also has to carry out the Alliance's A-level missions after he comes out.
The difficulty of this task has exceeded Ye Kai's limits as a level 1 professional trainer.
Normally
It takes one Level 1 professional trainer to lead and several Level 1 trainers to cooperate in order to have a chance to participate.
But this time is special.
It was a secret order jointly issued by several Heavenly Kings.
As for which specific Heavenly Kings they were, he could roughly guess.
It is said that there were more than 20 people who carried out the same mission with him.
They didn't know each other.
There were just a few simple secret codes.
Of course, all of these people had written their wills beforehand.
In case something happens, at least I can give an explanation to my acquaintances.
Ye Kai looked at the paper, which had nothing written on it, and tore it in half.
When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky; if they don't die, they live for ten thousand years.
If it really comes to that, writing these frivolous things will be completely meaningless.
He has nothing to explain.
He had neither close friends nor a lover.
As for family members.
The missing second sister and the eldest sister who married overseas can be considered two.
As for Old Deng...
Once the memories from the personality overwrite returned, Ye Kai had nothing left to say to him.
He looked down at the dense forest below, where a thick, dark purple fog blotted out the sky.
I was also taken aback; what a vast area!
"drop!"
Wow, according to the professional instruments provided by the alliance...
The PM2.5 level in the air has reached 3729!
Oh my god.
It should be noted that this is within the normally given range.
A value above 150 indicates severe pollution.
No wonder even Ye Kai felt a burning sensation in his throat when he breathed the air here.
And that's not all...
The fog formed by these highly poisonous miasmas was exceptionally beautiful.
Sometimes it turns reddish, sometimes it turns a vibrant purple.
Like black pearls being melted, it flowed in the void.
It has a sweet, cloying smell, similar to the fishy smell of Chinese medicine.
The scent is extremely penetrating and indescribable.
But absolutely fatal!!
It is said that the area affected by this poisonous fog is still expanding!
The Alliance refers to this supernatural phenomenon as "Poison Coffin".
Yes, it looks like a coffin made of highly poisonous substances.
Any non-poison type Pokémon and human.
Even professional trainers who carry large quantities of panaceas.
They also cannot survive in the "poison coffin" for more than 15 minutes.
I doubt many people besides Ye Kai could get in here!
It must have been tough for the league.
They were even able to pick out more than 20 people from among the "poisonous people" to enter this place as a suicide squad.
If they can gather enough intelligence, their trip will have been worthwhile.
The Siam region was one year ago.
No, it wasn't like that even seven or eight months ago.
The Siam region at that time.
It is still a tropical rainforest where Bug-type, Water-type, a small number of Poison-type, and Flying-type Pokémon live.
But this has been the case for the past six months.
Local powers have already relocated all of the core cities and infrastructure to the regional border.
The result is...
The illegal forces in this region are engaged in extremely fierce fighting with the surrounding allied territories!
After all, if they don't expand their territory further...
They, too, were driven to their deaths by the "poisonous coffins," and had no choice but to expand their territory...
This was the first time Ye Kai had ever seen such a thing.
He wasn't entirely confident either.
We should proceed with caution and send out cross-bats to act as scouts.
The cross-bats swiftly plunged into the magical, thick fog.
"Cough!"
It flew back and forth in no time.
It indicated that there were only some wild Poison-type Pokémon inside, and no humans had been found yet.
Ye Kai then stopped hesitating and decisively rode his Steel-Armored Raven inside.
Corviknight is a Steel-type Pokémon, so naturally it has nothing to fear...?!
Soon, even the Corviknight began to feel unwell.
It had no choice but to make an emergency landing.
What a powerful poisonous fog!
Ye Kai did not come alone this time; he also brought a middle-aged guide with him.
Local border guides do not refer to this place as "poison coffins".
Instead, they used a more terrifying word: "the underworld".
all in all.
Even Steel-type Pokémon couldn't withstand it; this was something he hadn't expected.
"I've said it before, the toxicity will increase exponentially from that river in front of us!"
"...You've said it several times already."
After the Corviknight made an emergency landing, its health was severely depleted.
It quickly returned to the ball.
Ye Kai and his guide could only proceed on foot.
This guide is a ruthless person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to venture so deep into such a location.
"I can only go this far with you. Beyond that, lies the Ghost River."
"The people on the other side of the river also call this river the River Styx. I'm leaving, you rat tail juice!!"
He was a man Ye Kai found at the border for 10 yuan in order to gather information about the local area.
But risking one's life for money is not an option.
Getting Ye Kai to the riverbank was already an extreme challenge!
"After crossing the river, never have a direct confrontation with the Yaksha Cult members, remember that!"
The person was just giving one last reminder, which was fair enough to cover the cost.
Then they slipped away without looking back.
Ye Kai didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
This place is dangerous, but he has experienced things that are even more dangerous!
He was able to survive the aftershocks of a level 1 god's attack.
They also faced attacks from the "King" elves.
What could be more dangerous than these?
It's nothing more than fighting your way out.
If there really is an ultimate monster in the central area of this "poison coffin" that he can capture.
Even if it incurs the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people.
Even after countless heads rolled in the slaughter, Ye Kai was determined to go and try his luck!
He released Safi'jiiva, Weezing, and other Pokémon to act as his guards, and then began to cross the river.
The dark river water was thick like porridge, bubbling from time to time.
Ye Kai released Nidoking to cross the river, only to find that Nidoking was quite resistant.
This place is something special.
The miasma was so intense that even steel birds couldn't withstand it.
King Nido refused to go into the water.
It is indeed a deadly poison that can wipe out everything!
But even the most potent poison shouldn't be able to harm that guy.
"Mul!"
"Beiduo!"
really.
Stinky Mud thrives in this river.
Far from being afraid, they were quite happy.
Ye Kai simply had the Stinky Mud use "Melting" to manipulate its enormous body to float on the river.
Then let Nidoking swim on Grimer's liquid body.
Only then did they cross the "River Styx".
I didn't realize how long it took until I crossed the river; I drifted for a full three minutes.
Such a long crossing time.
This means that almost all living things can be kept out of the "poison coffin".
Although the river water is viscous.
Fortunately, there was no solid matter, otherwise it would have been difficult to look at directly.
After crossing the river, a considerable number of skeletons were found on the riverbank.
Among them were not only elves, but also humans...
This is?!
Ye Kai stepped forward and examined the sticky, bone-like substance more closely.
These are the remains of an amphibian-like spirit.
Or is it the iconic spherical hollow skeleton?
It's a needlefish...
Even a Poison-type Pokémon was poisoned to death?!
But upon further reflection, Ye Kai noticed something amiss.
Tauros, Kangaskhan, Scizor, Mightyena, Pidgeot...
There are also the shattered bodies of Oddish, Ariados, Roselia, and other Poison-type Pokémon.
He pondered the underlying patterns carefully.
Got it!
Although these remains include Poison-type Pokémon, they are all Pokémon whose primary type is not Poison.
This involves a piece of knowledge.
Spirits are divided into single-attribute and dual-attribute types.
In dual-attribute systems, there is a first attribute and a second attribute.
For example, Nidoking is a Poison/Ground type.
Its primary attribute is poison.
Venusaur is a Grass/Poison type.
Therefore, its primary attribute is Grass.
it's here.
Even a spirit whose primary attribute is not poison will likely not escape death.
It's just that I can stick to it for a little longer...
This was completely beyond Ye Kai's common sense!
It's no longer the poison he knows, but rather a concept within the "poison realm"!
Will this place select, eliminate, and transform the surrounding ecosystem according to its own will?!
He couldn't help but think of the "Divine Seal" in "Dead Space," a game he had played in his previous life.
Although he had already learned from Ye Yi that the core area of the "Poison Coffin" in the Siam region had a spatial passage opened by an ultimate beast.
But I never expected that the ultimate monster in this world would be such a monstrous thing!
Strictly speaking...
He, "Ye Kai," is not from this world.
It can only be considered a soul transfer.
To paraphrase a certain novel.
It is the "Demon from Outer Heavens"!
But these ultimate monsters are also "demons from beyond the heavens"!
That's not all.
If that's all there is to it, then we can all keep to ourselves.
What's scary is that...
Ultra Beasts are "Outer Demons" that specifically kill "Outer Demons"!!
Their unique characteristics and enhanced abilities make them such beings in this world.
If they do not prey on beings from other worlds.
They are just "blank slates" without any special characteristics.
This was mentioned in the intelligence provided by both Lang Zixing and Ye Yi, so it should be correct.
This all subtly points to another, even more terrifying truth.
That is in this world.
The more alien beasts kill beings from other worlds, the stronger they become, and this improvement...
It's very likely to be permanent!
As for the upper limit of its improvement, it should be comparable to the combat power of a divine beast!
After all, those Ultra Beasts have a history of besieging Dark Mewtwo!
The messianic vessel was attacked and moved several times...
During this process, the League did attempt to capture Ultra Beasts.
The results showed that these captured Ultra Beasts would devour each other to become stronger.
Until only one remains!
Furthermore, they can open interdimensional portals at will according to their own will, and the last one also ran away.
This intelligence is already a fact stated in the report.
We must prepare for the worst...
He pondered these thoughts, and though his steps were slow, he never stopped.
Crossing the river, one finds a vast expanse of reeds, which thrive by the water.
The visibility in the dense fog was much lower than before crossing the river, less than 1.5 meters.
These plants are all dark green, unusually lush, and emit a strange, faint fluorescence when swayed.
Soon he also saw a whole forest.
The leaves of the trees are all dark brown.
In short, nothing in the vegetation within sight is normal!
The surroundings were eerily quiet!
Navigation systems and electronic devices, unsurprisingly, all malfunctioned here.
Fortunately, the bracelet on his wrist could emit precise vibrations.
The direction in which the bracelet vibrates most violently is the location of the destination.
He was amazed by the Alliance's technology; it was truly incredible.
"Try absorbing all of this fog, but in small amounts!"
Dual-ball gas has received instructions.
I took decisive action to purify the surrounding air, but it turned out to be of no use.
Even with all-out purification efforts.
It only expands the visibility range of the fog to about 5 meters.
The toxicity of the "poisonous coffin" has permeated the entire world.
Even Ye Kai felt a stinging pain on his skin, as if he were being pricked by needles.
However, this feeling quickly disappeared, and he moved around in the "poison coffin" without any hindrance.
Good place.
Actually, this place can be put to good use.
If he commits a crime in the future, he can hide in this "poison coffin".
It seems the pursuers will have no choice but to give up.
"Flame Queen Lizard!"
It decisively unleashed a fiery whip, bringing the target who had made the noise not far away to the brink of death.
It's a Nidona.
Wait... there are humans here too!?
Ye Kai rushed forward decisively.
He grabbed the man's wrist and then, with a swift movement, forced him to kneel on the ground.
