Lu Li had considered changing his job to a tomb raider, after all, there were so many good things left in those ancient tombs.
Take Super Evolution Stones for example. Do you think Super Evolution Stones are some kind of mineral?
The truth is that 99% of the Super Evolution Stones in the world are excavated from those ancient tombs?
But tomb raiding in this world is much more dangerous than tomb raiding in the world of "Tomb Raider".
Not to mention the danger of large secret realms, if it weren't for Ekaterina's nanny spirit secretly solving the wild spirits who came to make trouble, the three of them would have difficulty moving an inch in this secret realm.
How dangerous is this secret realm?
Let's put it this way, if a Gym-level trainer enters a large secret realm with the intention of exploring, then his probability of death will be around 40%, even close to half.
Because the apex of large secret realms is Master-level, there are also many Gym-level Pokémon, and even Elite Four-level Pokémon can only occupy a corner.
Not to mention those ancient tombs, with the blessing of special fields, Ghost-type Pokémon with almost eternal life, even if it's just a pig, can sleep to the end of its potential after sleeping for so long.
In this kind of large secret realm, people below the Elite Four-level enter and their life and death depend entirely on fate.
The three quickly arrived at a place suspected of burying an ancient tomb.
After scanning with his divine sense, Lu Li shook his head.
This place is empty.
Helpless, the group could only continue searching.
After trying several places in a row, Yao Yifei had already begun to doubt the authenticity of the information provided by the Alliance.
"That's six places already, are we still going to keep looking?" Ekaterina asked depressingly.
Lu Li didn't speak, he was scanning below with his divine sense.
"Found it!" Lu Li cheered with surprise.
Hearing this, Ekaterina couldn't wait to ask, "You said there's an ancient tomb below?"
Lu Li said excitedly, "Not just an ancient tomb, there are even Unown below."
"An undeveloped ancient tomb? We actually found one!" Yao Yifei's face was also full of excitement.
An undeveloped ancient tomb is completely a huge treasure, a treasure that even Elite Four-level trainers would be tempted by.
Looking at the excited Yao Yifei, Lu Li poured a bucket of cold water on her, "But there is an Elite Four-level and three Gym-level Ghost-type Pokémon below."
Hearing this, the joy on Yao Yifei's face instantly disappeared.
If this were on the ground, they might be able to take on such a lineup.
But if it were underground, and there was also that special tomb field, Yao Yifei instantly lost her previous excitement.
As a Flying-type trainer, if she went into a tomb to fight those Ghost-type Pokémon, being able to exert 50% of her combat power would be considered an exceptional performance.
Ekaterina, as an Ice-type trainer, even if she entered the tomb, she could at least exert 50% of her combat power, but that was obviously not enough.
But everyone was not discouraged, after all, Ekaterina also had a cheat.
"Ancestor, it seems we can only rely on you," Ekaterina bowed to the void.
A Froslass wearing a kimono and floating in the air appeared.
Froslass nodded helplessly.
Froslass was Ekaterina's great-grandmother's Pokémon, and also Ekaterina's protector. Due to being a Ghost-type Pokémon, Froslass's ability to hide was extremely strong.
Lu Li's divine sense could sense the other party, but only vaguely sensed that there was such an existence.
"A Champion-level Froslass as a bodyguard," Yao Yifei said with some envy.
Ekaterina smiled noncommittally.
This was the foundation of a large family.
Almost every generation of Ekaterina's family were Champion-level trainers, and the Ekaterina family was a family that had been passed down for thousands of years. It was unimaginable how many Champion-level Pokémon had been born in the Ekaterina family in these thousands of years.
The lifespan of Champion-level Pokémon, even Bug-type Pokémon can break through a thousand years.
Yao Yifei even suspected that the Ekaterina family might have hundreds of Champion-level Pokémon, which was why the Ekaterina family was able to dominate the Greater Russia region.
"I'll go down and take care of those little guys first, you guys stay on top and be careful," Froslass said helplessly.
As a Ghost-type Pokémon, the combat power exerted in a tomb could even be 120%. It was nothing for Froslass to just deal with an Elite Four-level and a few Gym-level Pokémon.
Hearing this slightly gentle voice, Lu Li's pupils shrank, and Lu Li, who took a step back, looked at Froslass in disbelief.
After Froslass disappeared, Ekaterina explained from the side, "Ancestor was already Champion-level a long time ago. Due to her aptitude, it is estimated that it will be difficult for her to take it any further in this life. Over the long years, Ancestor has already learned our human language."
Lu Li nodded.
These days, even Meowth can learn to speak, so it seems normal for Froslass to be able to speak.
"We can just wait here, Ancestor will take care of it soon," Ekaterina comforted.
Lu Li nodded again, this feeling of clinging to a powerful backer was simply too good.
It was a pity that Ekaterina was leaving soon, otherwise he really wanted to take Ekaterina to explore this large secret realm properly.
After a while, Froslass appeared on the ground with four Pokémon who had lost their fighting abilities.
The Elite Four-level Ghost-type Pokémon was a Cofagrigus, also known as a Coffin of Lost Souls, and the remaining three were Dusknoir.
"Now it's safe below, how to get into that tomb is up to you," Froslass said, then disappeared.
"Teleport can't get in, we can only go to the tomb by digging a hole," Ekaterina said, then released her Haxorus.
Haxorus was not a dedicated digger, but it was the Pokémon in the team that was best at launching attacks.
More than ten minutes later, Haxorus successfully dug to the front of the tomb door.
After the three teleported to the front of the tomb door, Ekaterina summarized, "Haxorus can't dig any further here. Now the problem is, what will happen if I let Haxorus use Hyper Beam to break open the tomb door."
"If you control the power, it shouldn't cause a collapse, right?" Lu Li said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Ekaterina directly patted Haxorus's thigh, "Haxorus, use Hyper Beam to destroy the wooden door."
Upon receiving the order, Haxorus started with a Hyper Beam. Under the intentional control of power, a hole with a diameter of about one meter was blasted into the tomb door.
"Next, you guys follow me, there are quite a few mechanisms in this tomb," Lu Li took the initiative to walk in front and said.
With the scanning of his divine sense, Lu Li could be said to know this tomb like the back of his hand. He could even say that he understood this tomb better than the designer of the tomb.
Various murals were engraved on both sides of the tomb passage. After carefully bypassing the mechanisms in the tomb, the group arrived in a tomb hall.
There was nothing in this tomb hall, only various murals and some ancient texts were engraved on the walls.
In this world, the difference between ancient and modern writing is actually a bit similar to the difference between simplified and traditional characters.
Everyone could roughly understand what was said on it.
After the God of Steel fell, the glorious Godforged Kingdom declined as a result. Queen Leona, who possessed the title of Steel Sun, also fell in the war to protect the kingdom.
The remaining murals and texts always recorded everything about that Queen Leona's life.
"Great! This is actually a queen's tomb," Ekaterina said with a face full of excitement as she looked at the murals in front of her.
In ancient times, kings were buried with sacrifices after their death, and even some of the king's Pokémon would die with the king.
Because ancient people believed that people would continue to live in the Reverse World after death in reality, some Pokémon would also die with their trainers after their trainers died, trying to meet with their trainers in the Reverse World.
It was precisely because of this custom that the burial objects in these ancient tombs were worth a fortune.
"Let's continue forward, two more tomb chambers and we'll be at the main tomb chamber," Lu Li reminded.
Suppressing their excitement, the group once again explored forward.
The first tomb chamber contained various porcelain and gold products, these were generally daily necessities, such as tableware and the like.
The second tomb chamber was extraordinary, this tomb chamber contained some Pokémon items.
However, most of the Pokémon items inside had lost their original function with the passage of time.
The three only stayed for a moment. After confirming that the things here were of no value, they continued to the main tomb chamber.
After passing through the side chamber, the three arrived at the main tomb chamber.
The two sides of the main tomb chamber were six small secret chambers. These secret chambers were called side chambers, and the good things were generally in these side chambers.
"It's amazing, we didn't trigger any mechanisms all the way here," Yao Yifei said with a face full of fortunate emotion.
"That's just because you're unlucky, you just happened to meet Lu Li," Ekaterina attacked from the side.
Although the most dangerous things in the tomb were those Ghost-type Pokémon, the mechanisms inside would often make the trainers look battered and exhausted.
Yao Yifei didn't refute, after all, it was indeed Lu Li who led them to avoid those mechanisms.
"May Ho-Oh be above, I hope we can have a big harvest this time," Yao Yifei put her hands together and prayed.
In the Kyushu region, Ho-Oh was in charge of fate and life, the god in charge of fate, and could naturally make people lucky.
Yao Yifei's prayer was not for the wrong object.
Ekaterina also refused to be outdone and prayed, "May Calyrex be above, I hope you can bring me a harvest."
Lu Li: "..."
Lu Li was considering whether he should cooperate, otherwise it would seem that he was a bit out of place.
"May Daozu be above, bless the believers to make a fortune this time," Lu Li also put his hands together and prayed in a low voice.
As a cultivator, it's normal to believe in Daozu, right?
As for whether this world's Arceus would have any objections? This wasn't a problem he should consider.
Everyone first went to the first side chamber, which contained several sets of armor. Under the great power of time, these armors had turned into Cursed Armor and Celebratory Armor.
Different from those modern Cursed Armor, the Cursed Armor in the tomb could be regarded as a Pokémon secret treasure, but this kind of armor was generally rare.
First of all, the tomb owner who possessed this kind of armor was very rare. Even in ancient times, monarchs who wore armor to open up territory were relatively rare.
That Queen Leona was originally a brave and skilled queen during her lifetime, and the country she followed was the Way of Steel.
It was precisely because of this that the armor that was buried with her would be transformed into Cursed or Celebratory Armor under the great power of time.
"A total of four sets of armor, one Celebratory Armor, three Cursed Armor, let me and Yao Yifei each take a Cursed Armor," Ekaterina said proactively.
Lu Li nodded, this distribution was obviously beneficial to him, Lu Li would naturally not refuse.
Strictly speaking, neither Ekaterina nor Yao Yifei needed these armors, but just because people didn't need them, didn't mean they didn't need to be distributed.
After putting away the armor, Yao Yifei said with emotion, "The Cursed Armor, which can be called a Pokémon secret treasure, is still quite handsome on Ceruledge, but unfortunately this thing can only be auctioned off."
"What price can this Cursed Armor sell for?" Lu Li also asked curiously.
Ekaterina explained, "This kind of Cursed Armor from ancient tombs starts at an auction price of 30 million, and its price is probably around 100 million."
"So expensive? I remember the market price of Cursed Armor is around 3 million?" Lu Li asked in confusion.
Yao Yifei emphasized while touching the Cursed Armor, "That's the Pokémon item Cursed Armor, we have the Pokémon secret treasure Cursed Armor."
"Alright."
Lu Li nodded and didn't ask about the specific difference between the two.
After all, he originally planned to use these two sets of armor himself, after all, both Ceruledge and Armarouge were super handsome.
Moreover, Lu Li also wanted to explore the craftsmanship of these two sets of armor in order to improve his level of weapon refinement.
Next was the second side chamber.
Inside were the bones of several Pokémon.
After Ekaterina checked the bones of these Pokémon, she sighed softly, "These four Pokémon were at least Champion-level in strength during their lifetime, and they all died by extinguishing their origin."
To put it in simple terms, these four Pokémon all died by suicide.
"No wonder this kingdom was destroyed, Champion-level Pokémon were buried with it, it's heartbreaking to think about it," Yao Yifei also felt some heartache.
Those were Champion-level Pokémon!
Too extravagant.
The second side chamber yielded nothing, the items carried by those Pokémon had long since turned to ashes in the years, and the corpses had turned into bones.
If the dead were Dragon-type Pokémon, perhaps they could be used for waste, but unfortunately, these were Fire-type and Steel-type Pokémon.
The three, who only felt regret, quickly entered the third side chamber.
It was a secret chamber filled with various books, perhaps because the time was too long, those books had turned to ashes, and even the bookshelves had decayed.
The group, who once again gained nothing, could only place their hopes on the fourth side chamber.
Unfortunately, the fourth side chamber seemed to be a burial pit, and the three gained nothing again.
"Only two secret chambers are left," Yao Yifei said nervously.
This kind of blind box behavior was simply irresistible.
Lu Li didn't have this feeling, because he knew the answer.
The reason he was going to see it in person was purely to observe these places up close.
"There will be a surprise next," Lu Li said meaningfully.
"Really?"
Yao Yifei's eyes lit up as she looked at Lu Li expectantly.
Lu Li nodded affirmatively.
The two women, full of anticipation, pushed Lu Li into the fifth side chamber.
The side chamber only contained a few opened boxes, each containing a gem of a rather peculiar quality.
This was the treasure most sought after by all those who sought ancient tombs—Mega Stones!
