NOVEL WEB Chapter 21 Rocky Trail
A rocky trail, as the name suggests, is a road covered with rocks.
"Wow, it's so tight, my feet are about to be worn away." Yao Ling, who was kicked into the rocky path, felt that he could not move an inch.
The ground here is full of sharp rocks, and the walls of the maze are made of rough sand and gravel. If ground, rock, and steel type Pokémon came here, they would definitely be happy, but he was not.
"Jiujiu! Open the props mall! Buy me a pair of thick-soled boots!" Yao Ling, who couldn't bear the pain, started his cheating process directly.
【oh! The host who spends money is the most handsome! Thick-soled boots purchased successfully! 】
I saw a black thick-soled boot appearing under Yao Ling's feet. With the thick-soled boots, those sharp rocks could no longer cause any harm to Yao Ling.
"As expected of thick-soled boots! They don't hurt your feet at all! By the way, how much do thick-soled boots cost?" Yao Ling, wearing thick-soled boots, walked swiftly along the rocky path.
[Thick-soled boots cost the host 500 gold! 】
Hearing the news, Yaolin, who was walking like flying just now, winced for a moment: "How much? How much? Five hundred gold!?"
[Yes host, thick-soled boots are worth 500 gold! 】
"...Is it too late for a refund now?" Yao Ling felt like he was stepping on gold coins instead of thick-soled boots!
[Refunds can only refund half of the gold coins, dear~ Are you sure you want a refund? 】
"Half!? No, these thick-soled boots are quite comfortable to wear, so we won't refund the money." Yaoling smiled with a smile on his face, but he was furious in his heart.
With the bonus of thick-soled boots, Yaoling explored the rocky path. Unlike the apple forest, the props in the rock path do not include seeds, but more gems and some throwing objects.
For example, a projectile prop called the Small Fist Stone.
"According to the description in the book Master Itachi gave me, this is the rock that fell from Xiao Fist Stone. It is harder than ordinary rocks, and it will be more painful when it hits people."
Yao Ling played with the small fist stone in his hand and said: "Speaking of it, Jiujiu, if creatures like Pokémon fall off a certain part of their body, won't they feel pain?"
[Jiujiu doesn’t know, but according to the introduction in the Pokémon Pokédex in the original book, Slowpoke’s tail and Crab’s claws, these things will fall off on their own]
[If these things were shed by the corresponding Pokémon on their own, I think they won’t feel any pain]
"I see. This way I won't feel guilty when using it." Yaoling was also worried that this thing was the product of Pokémon being injured or dead. If it was just a product that dropped normally, then he would be relieved.
"Speaking of which, didn't the system generate a task for me about me coming to find Youkiras?" Yaoling said silently as he went deep into the rocky path.
[No, maybe the mission level is too low. After all, you are just here to find someone]
"Is that so, eh, so I can't transfer the gold coins." Yao Ling sighed.
Going deep into the rocky path, more and more small fist stones appeared in front of Yaoling's eyes. Looking at the piled up small fist stones, Yao Ling suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Hey, what are you doing, are you stealing my food?" After hearing the other party's voice, Yaoling looked back and found that the other party was an extremely huge rock snake.
The big rock snake raised its head and looked at Yao Ling condescendingly and said, "Hey, I have a question for you. Are you stealing my food?"
"Ah, well, how should I put it? In fact, there is a reason for this." Yao Ling said nervously: "Jiujiu, if I fight this big rock snake, who can win?"
[If you fight him, it’s 50-50. The opponent will beat you into five pieces five times and you won’t be able to get it back even if you try hard]
"I understand, I can't beat you." After hearing Jiujiu's words, Yaoling knelt down towards the big rock snake with relief and said, "I'm sorry! I didn't know this was your territory! I'm leaving now!"
"Ah? Aren't you going to eat?" After hearing what Big Rock Snake said, Yaoling's brain obviously shut down for a moment.
"What do you mean?" Yaoling looked at the big rock snake.
I saw the big rock snake using its tail to hand a handful of small fist stones to Yaoling: "Aren't you hungry? These rocks are for you to eat. They still taste delicious."
[Oh~ I understand, this big rock snake regards its host as a poor Pokémon that is starving to death and has to come to his territory to look for food! 】
"Huh? Is that so?" Yaoling looked at the big rock snake in front of him, and saw the big rock snake handing the small fist stone to Yaoling: "Hey, aren't you hungry? Eat quickly."
"Well, I think you have misunderstood something. Actually..." Yaoling was about to explain when he saw the big rock snake hit his rock head with its rock tail.
"Oops, I forgot, you are not a rock-type Pokémon, so you can't eat rocks." I saw the big rock snake burrowing into the pile of small fist stones to find something.
Then, a tree fruit with a somewhat dried skin was taken out by the big rock snake: "Hey, you can eat this, eat it quickly, being hungry is not good for your health."
"Ah? Oh, thank you." Taking the fruit, Yaoling wiped it and ate it.
"That one?" While eating the fruit, Yaoling looked at the big rock snake and said, "Are you a Pokémon that came in from the outside? Or a Pokémon from the Mysterious Maze?"
"Me? I'm the Pokémon in the Mysterious Maze." Big Rock Snake said, "What's wrong? Are you here to find treasure?"
The big rock snake looked at Yao Ling and said: "It's a pity that there are no treasures here anymore. Apart from stones, there are only stones left here. By the way, do you like stones? If you like, I can take you to pick out some nice ones. The stone." As soon as it mentioned the stone, the big rock snake immediately started chattering.
"That!" Yao Ling interrupted: "Actually, I'm here to find someone. Have you ever seen a young Kiras?"
"Youkilas?" The big rock snake seemed to be deep in thought. After thinking briefly, the big rock snake thought of something: "Youkilas, I have seen him before, but I don't know where he went?"
The Big Rock Snake recalled: "I remember seeing a young Kilas three days ago. At that time, I even fed him some rocks."
"But then, Young Kilas disappeared. I don't know whether he left the maze or wandered inside the maze." The big rock snake said slowly: "What's wrong? Does that Little Kilas owe you money?" Already?"
"No, no!" Yao Ling explained: "Actually, it was Yogilas' mother who was too worried about him, so she asked me to come here to find him."
After saying that, Yao Ling stood up and planned to move to the next level: "Thank you, Big Rock Snake, I'll go find him right now."
