Chapter 387 Climbing the No. 2 Waterfall

"Duoduo, how long have I been operating in Meteor Falls?"

Guck!

Duoduo calculated the time accurately. It was noon on the fourth day after Shen Qi entered the Meteor Falls.

The sound of water became more and more roaring, and this familiar feeling meant that we were not far from the No. 2 waterfall.

It is scheduled to return within a week, and the time limit is just over halfway. If you have not found out anything at the No. 2 waterfall, it is time to return.

"Oh!"

Although Shen Qi had seen the power of the No. 1 waterfall, Shen Qi had been trekking for more than a day and was still shocked when he saw the No. 2 waterfall.

As Lucia said, Waterfall No. 2 is divided into upper and lower parts.

The water flow in the top section is quite concentrated, like a solid ice wall that keeps sliding down and hits the bulging rocks at a height of 30 meters. The water that is subsequently dispersed spreads down like a peacock spreading its tail.

In terms of volume, it may not be as good as the No. 1 waterfall that goes straight into the pond, but the tricks are really outstanding.

Especially here, because the water flow accumulates luminous energy mineral elements, it always makes people feel that there is a cave behind the translucent waterfall.

Lucia said in advance that the back of the waterfall is just a groove where a container can be stuffed, and there is no way to extend it.

Around the No. 2 waterfall, there are much less carvings.

Those who come here are usually relatively experienced explorers, and the inscriptions left behind tend to remind that a certain cave is dangerous or a dead end. Furthermore, they also remind future generations to think twice before proceeding further.

Due to limited time, Shen Qi did not play as he did at the No. 1 waterfall before. After admiring it for a while, he started to help Lucia find sacrificial texts.

Unfortunately, after a brief search, I still found nothing.

Lucia didn't find what she was looking for, so she climbed up the waterfall as Shen Qi asked.

Close to the waterfall, the roar weakened by the earplugs still makes people's hearts beat wildly.

Unable to talk in detail, Lucia pointed upward, indicating that she was ready to climb the waterfall, and then threw the package on her body over.

Shen Qi didn't know why Lucia did this, and there was no need to ask now. He silently carried their backpacks and waited for her to operate.

The two streams of light gradually became stable. One was the Slowpoke seen in the Winter Games, and the other was the Big Tongue Shell.

Lucia commanded the Slowpoke to use "Surf" to create a manned water mobile energy platform.

silence…

Slowpoke was motionless, apparently in an out-of-body daze.

Shen Qi sighed. If a Pokémon is so stupid, is it really reliable?

As a trainer, Rukia has her own methods.

She knelt down and hugged Slowpoke gently, said a few words in his ear in a pleading tone, and gave him a big hug. Slowpoke woke up on the spot and successfully used "Surf".

Good guy.

Shen Qi took back his previous description of Slowpoke as stupid. This was so smart.

The same goes for Casey. He usually can't wake up, but Lucia can give him a hug and he can get up and work.

Even when he was deeply asleep, after Lucia gave him a hug and a kiss, Casey could still wake up full of energy.

smart!

Shen Qi and Lucia used the "Surfing" skill together to approach the main body of the waterfall.

At first, it just felt like heavy rain. Then, as the water splashed down on my body, it felt like a balloon shot in the park.

At the bottom of the pool, a goldfish king saw someone approaching, hurried back to the deep stream, and swam up again, holding a rag in his mouth.

Meaning: There used to be a very brave trainer who boldly approached the waterfall, but now all he has left is this piece of rag.

If you touch the main body of the waterfall rashly, you will end up like the lucky egg at the No. 1 waterfall, being instantly smashed into the depths of the pond.

Of course, Shen Qi didn't intend to withstand the impact of the rag.

In areas where Slowpoke had difficulty maintaining the stability of its "Surf" skill, Lucia summoned the Swamp King again.

At this point, Shen Qi finally saw her intentions clearly.

Slowpoke is responsible for transporting back and forth in regular waters, and Big Tongue Shell and Swamp King respectively use "waterfall climbing" to go up.

There is only one Pokémon "Waterfall Climb", and it is too difficult to carry two people and two people's luggage up the turbulent water of the No. 2 waterfall.

Therefore, the relatively high-ranking Marsh King used the "waterfall" to carry Shen Qi and his luggage;

Lucia rides on the Big Tongue Shell.

In terms of skill distribution, Slowpoke and its subsequent evolved forms are more focused on special attackers, and he can naturally understand the "surfing" of special attack judgment.

"Waterfall Climbing" belongs to the physical attack judgment in the water system. It is learned by Big Tongue Shell and Swamp King, whose physical attack racial value is higher than attack.

Using "Waterfall Climbing", the Swamp King floats on the surface of the pouring water, emitting a skill aura similar to "Surfing".

Shen Qi carried two bags of luggage and entered the halo effect, and the splashing water drops suddenly decreased a lot.

King Numa took Shen Qi, and Big Tongue Bei took Lucia up to the first step of the No. 2 waterfall without daring to stay any longer.

The water jets here hit the rock protrusions and scatter, and the impact force is greater than the surface of the pool.

Immediately after continuing to "climb the waterfall" upward, Shen Qi clearly felt that the process was much slower.

Unlike in the game, where you can climb any waterfall at a normal speed, the difficulty of "climbing a waterfall" in reality depends on whether the objective conditions are difficult or not, as well as the Pokémon's own strength.

When you reach the upper section of the waterfall, the difficulty of "climbing the waterfall" is reduced due to the short distance the water falls and the small inertia.

More importantly, the water flow above has not hit the rocks and the water below. There is only the "swishing" sound caused by the flow. Although there is the noise of the waves, it is much better than the strong sound below, and earplugs can also Effectively protect ears.

After another three or four minutes of hard work, the Pokémon was already close to the upper edge of the waterfall. Lucia threw out the Poké Ball and replaced Slowpoke with "surfing".

"Phew, finally here."

The almost soaked sportswear stuck to Lucia's body. She patted her chest and stuck out her tongue, "If my family knew that I was exploring like this, they would probably scold me."

Big Tongue also stuck out his tongue, synchronizing with his trainer's posture.

"It's much more exciting than I imagined."

Shen Qi felt lingering fear.

I didn’t encounter any danger while “climbing the waterfall” all the way up, but it felt like it was extremely difficult and dangerous.

There are such scenes in some film and television works:

The young dragon-slaying boy lay on the dragon's back, and the dragon soared almost straight up into the air. The young man was thrown back and barely managed to grab the dragon's tail, temporarily avoiding being smashed into a pulp, and then he struggled to move forward against the gravity and airflow. Climb, climb onto the dragon's back or head to carry out effective attacks.

During the crawling process, of course the audience knows that the protagonist will not slip and fall to his death, but they will still be worried.

During the "waterfall climbing" process just now, Shen Qi really felt like he was climbing forward on the back of a dragon rising from the sky.

What's even worse is that he still carries two bags of luggage in his left and right hands, so he can only cheer for the Swamp King silently in his heart, and reward him with two elf rations when he reaches the top.
