Chapter 392 Wooden Bridge and Stone Platform

"Wooden bridge? Why is there a wooden bridge here?"

Lucia stood by the rocks extending toward the water, looking at the water in front of her in confusion.

On both sides of the rock underfoot, there were wooden piles stuck in the rock crevices, and straw ropes were tied up tightly in rows of round wooden piles to form an old-fashioned suspension bridge, connecting a rock five meters away.

It was originally supposed to be a simple wooden raft suspension bridge connecting two rocks above the water. Now the water level above the No. 2 waterfall has increased a lot for some reason, submerging the stone platforms on both sides that the wooden bridge was still holding, so looking around You can't see it at all.

If you get closer, you can see the wood that arches up due to buoyancy.

If Shen Qi hadn't noticed that the wooden blocks made a "bang bang" sound due to the impact of the water flow, the wooden bridge would have been ignored.

"Shen Qi...Shen Qi!"

Lucia was confused again by Shen Qi's silence and contemplation.

"Did you notice any weird noises again?"

"No...why is there a wooden bridge here?"

Before coming to Waterfall No. 2, Shen Qi asked if the "iron ladder" existed, and Lucia also joked about who would build an iron ladder in Meteor Falls.

The same goes for wooden bridges. Whoever is full can build a wooden bridge.

According to the original low water level, the rocks on both sides are several meters above the water. If you want to get over, any method is more convenient than building a wooden bridge.

The wood needs to be brought in from outside.

Even if you climb to the original water level, swim five meters and then climb to the rock mass you want to go to, it is more convenient than building a bridge.

"Geely Egg, come over and take a look."

Shen Qi grabbed the elf ball and used the [Combined Attack] skill to pack up a lucky egg so that he could recall it at any time.

The water passed through the little short legs, and the lucky egg stepped on the wooden bridge to the other side, turning back to indicate that there was no danger.

The observation results sent back by the Geely Egg were very strange. The opposite side was just a stone platform of seven or eight square meters with no connection to anywhere else.

Lucia muttered, "Just build a bridge and reach a bare stone platform. What do you want to do?"

Geely eggs...Look at the rock surface under the water. Is there anything there...

Shen Qi conveyed this sentence to Jilidan through soul communication, but Lucia didn't know it.

Because if there is any discovery later, Shen Qi can't explain why he could predict it.

To say "electronic fortune telling" is too much.

The No. 2 waterfall, the upper and lower waterfalls are separated by two rock masses that should be above the water, and the wooden bridge connecting the rock masses.

Taken together, these elements roughly fit the central area of ​​the Meteor Falls map in the game.

There are also two waterfalls in the game, but the distance is far apart, and the wooden bridge is larger than what you see in front of you...

auspicious!

The auspicious egg reported back that the submerged stone platform seemed to be carved with some kind of pattern.

"Lucia, my lucky egg said there is something carved on the stone platform over there."

"Hey!" Lucia was startled, stepped on the wooden bridge, and waded through the water up to her knees and ran straight to the other side.

Shen Qi had previously checked that ordinary wood soaked in water had grown a little microbial community, indicating that the wooden bridge was not just established, but the time span was not too long.

The water flow on the stone platform was messy, and Lucia couldn't see the words underwater clearly. She touched the lines and grooves with her hands and read some strokes. She quickly identified them as sacrificial words from the ancient Fengyuan region.

"Found it! Really found it!"

The excited Lucia summoned Slowpoke and used "Surf" to generate a water-moving magic circle for people to ride on.

As soon as the skill effect came out, the water area covered by it seemed to be covered by an air mattress, the water level dropped a little, and the water surface became gentle.

Taking advantage of Slowmon's skill effect, Lucia read the sacrificial text.

Suitable and orthodox traditional brushwork, even if there is a little sedimentation in the carved parts, it still cannot hide the sophisticated background.

[Thousand-year-old meteorite falls, playing the note of the end of the world]

[Offering the power of blood and meteorites, praying to cut off the reincarnation episode]

Lucia became more and more surprised as she recited the sacrificial words carved on the underwater stone platform.

The text vaguely describes a natural disaster, and the △ mentioned in it represents Rayquaza...

Apart from the people of the glass, what other tribe can pray to summon Rayquaza to eliminate disasters?

If it were other areas, Lucia thought it would make sense. The people of Ryusei had built a buried tower in the Johto area, and Rayquaza would also go there.

But...this stone carving uses ancient sacrificial symbols from the Fengyuan region!

Shen Qi had already walked to Lucia's side and listened to her reciting a few words, feeling confident.

Sure enough, this place is the location where you meet Shijana's grandmother in the game.

At one end of the wooden bridge of Meteor Falls, Shijana's grandmother, the elder of the Meteor people, gives players the Tyrannosaurus evolution stone and teaches "the finishing touch".

The game did not create the "Meteor Land", and this stone platform was also bare with no seal carvings.

At this time, the strokes of Lucia's strokes were also very new, and there was just a little bit of sand accumulated in the lines. They should have been carved a few days ago, maybe no more than a week ago.

In other words, a few days ago, someone arrived here, built a wooden bridge and carved sacrificial runes.

It also shows that there may not be people of meteors in this world, otherwise there would have been inscriptions 2000 years ago, and the inscriptions were only newly inscribed recently.

Without the People of the Meteor, it was Shijana who cut off the episode and learned the ancient sacrificial texts in the Hoenn region.

Or the protagonist?

Ruby…

And Dr. Odamaki’s daughter, Safiya?

It could also be Mikoli, Dawu, or Adam.

They all participated in the fights between Kyogre and Groudon in the games and comics, and Rayquaza broke up the fight.

There were questions in his mind, but Shen Qi didn't rush to ask.

The doubts in Lucia's mind were definitely more exaggerated.

Shen Qi couldn't tell her from a God's perspective: "I am a player. There are people of Meteor in the Fengyuan area of ​​the parallel world. They grant you a mission in the name of Liuli..." or something like that.

so funny.

Moreover, the speculation that "the engraver is Shijana" is only more likely, not absolute. After all, the Meteor People and Shijana do not exist in the ordinary world line.

How could she show up?

Could it be that Shijana in the parallel world was born into an ordinary family, and under the influence of fate, she taught herself the ancient Hoenn sacrificial writing... Then she couldn't pray to Rayquaza.

Or maybe Shijana has traveled through time.

That's ridiculous. I, Shen Qi, don't believe in traveling through the Pokémon world.

Joking aside, Shen Qi really thinks the "time travel" theory makes sense.

Pokémon-themed works often have time-travel elements, and Celebi, the guardian of the forest, can travel through different world lines.

sizzle...

"Ok?"

The sudden sound of pumping water from the dock interrupted the two people who were having their own thoughts.

Before he could raise his eyes to clearly see the source of the sound, the water under his feet suddenly became turbulent, as if countless ghost hands were grabbing the half-submerged body and pulling the person into the turbulent pool.

It's a whirlpool!

The injured Slowpoke was unable to resist at all, and its "Surf" skill was broken.

In the chaotic current, Shen Qi barely caught Lucia, using his waist and arms to briefly throw her out of the water.
