Chapter 104
"Let's explore here. It's a bit dangerous to go up." Hei Yu stood on a boulder and looked up at the towering Chimney Mountain.
The entire Chimney Mountain is 1,500 meters high, and he is now only more than 400 meters high, which is on the lower part of the mountainside.
But even so, the elves at this height are generally around level 20 or 30.
This is already the limit of Hei Yu's current exploration. If he goes up further, the level of the elves may be higher than level 40.
From the map or from a distance, Chimney Mountain may be small, but only when you are there in person can you know how big such a mountain is.
Hei Yu on the mountainside is already a little out of breath, not only because of the height, but also because of the special environment of the dormant volcano here, which leads to some lack of oxygen.
There is also a trace of volcanic ash in the air, which makes it difficult to breathe.
Hei Yu can only let Dark Crow constantly refresh the air nearby, and at the same time take out the oxygen mask that has been prepared long ago.
Hei Yu found that the elves here were not only of fire attribute, such as wolfhound, arm strength and other elves, he also encountered a lot of elves.
And not only in the Hoenn region, but also some elves in other regions.
But most of these elves exist in the form of tribes, and there are very few lone wolves. But think about it, to survive in a place like Chimney Mountain, you can only rely on huddling together for warmth.
As the night slowly fell, Hei Yu found a piece of exposed rocky land to serve as a camp.
There are some exposed rocks everywhere, with red lines on them, which seem to be affected by the high temperature of Chimney Mountain.
Of course, this area is also the favorite place for rock and fire attribute elves.
After a day of high-intensity training and fighting with wild elves, the elves are very tired, but the situation in return is gratifying.
The level of Murkrow has increased by one level again, reaching level 22.
Just as Hei Yu was preparing to camp on the spot, he was awakened by the sound of fire from the mountainside not far away.
"What's going on! I remember that the wild Pokémon over there have been cleared, haven't they?"
Hei Yu subconsciously looked at Murkrow and hurriedly put his equipment back into his space backpack. For camping in the wild, the most important thing is to prevent attacks from wild Pokémon.
There are traces of Pokémon nearby, so it's obviously not suitable for camping. Either change a place or drive the Pokémon away.
Murkrow flapped his wings very tacitly and went forward to investigate.
Hei Yu cautiously groped on the exposed rocks, wearing a nightgown, and kept moving slowly towards the fire, hiding his body in the dark.
After turning over a pile of uneven rocks, he saw the figure of the fire.
Hiding behind a boulder, he saw two figures in red clothes from a distance, directing the Pokémon to attack a wild coal turtle.
The two figures were all wearing red hooded clothes, and the hoods on their heads were tightly worn, without revealing a trace of their faces.
There was a black mark on the clothes. From a distance, it looked a bit like a hill, but also a bit like the letter m.
Lava Team!
The true identities of the two people instantly emerged in Hei Yu's mind.
They were the members of the Lava Team who had dealt with them in the Kalu Tunnel before.
Hei Yu's back was pressed tightly against the rock, and his face looked a bit ugly. He didn't expect that the plot had been advanced for several years, and the Lava Team had already used Chimney Mountain as a base.
Or are they still in the process of exploration?
Hei Yu didn't dare to underestimate it at all, and his mind was also working frantically, wondering how many members of the Lava Team were on this mountain now.
Are these two people the vanguard, coming here to survey and explore the way? Or have they just entered here?
Hei Yu made a few gestures to several elves, and exchanged glances to signal Murkrow to go around from the side.
Before flying away, he also tied a small night vision device to Murkrow's body.
Hei Yu hesitated for a moment, and then took advantage of the night and the night clothes on his body to crawl on the ground and grope forward.
The enemy is in the open, I am in the dark.
This is the biggest advantage of Hei Yu, not to mention that this is a sneak attack in the field at night, which is undoubtedly a home advantage for Moon Eevee and Murkrow.
When Hei Yu finally got close to a distance, he could barely hear the general content of the conversation between the two.
"Brother, you are really amazing. You easily solved such a level 30 coal turtle!" One of the younger short men with a clear voice flattered.
The other man was obviously very pleased and said in a rough voice: "Haha, don't worry, follow me, you will definitely have a mouthful of soup!"
"Alas, it's just bad luck that I was assigned to the task of guarding."
The short man asked: "Brother, why do you think the organization came to a place like Chimney Mountain? The temperature is so hot. If it weren't for Damulang's ice elves to cool down, I'm afraid I couldn't stand it long ago!"
"Who knows? But I heard from the captain that it seems to be collecting something?"
The tone of the powerful and rough man was also full of uncertainty.
"What, could it be........."
"Okay, stop making wild guesses. Taking advantage of the break time to earn some extra money is clearly against the organization's rules. Go back quickly and don't get caught."
After the two of them hurriedly cleaned up the scene, they left with the coal turtle they had already subdued.
Hei Yu hid behind a rock, his heart pounding.
From the conversation between the two, he had heard a lot of important information. First, the Lava Team should have planned to use Chimney Mountain as its headquarters, and they were constantly migrating here.
Second, the Lava Team seemed to be collecting something.
The former was easy to say, but the second point was that Hei Yu knew that the other party was collecting treasures like meteorites in an attempt to awaken Groudon!
"But why should I worry about this? The other party's plan obviously started after the plot began, and it is at least 7 or 8 years away from now."
What Hei Yu should think about now is how to leave Chimney Mountain. After all, from the tone of the two, it seems that their members are all over the mountain.
But Hei Yu didn't see it when he went up the mountain.
So the activity height of the Lava Team is at least 400 meters.
"Are we really going to go down the mountain like this..."
At this moment, Hei Yu fell into entanglement and contemplation.
While he was thinking hard, the dark black Murkrow flapped its wings and flew back, landing steadily on a boulder, with the airflow brought by its wings sweeping up gusts of breeze.
Seeing this, Hei Yu quickly stepped forward to untie the night vision device tied to Murkrow's body.
Then, he activated the recording function in the device and stared at the screen intently.
Hei Yu had two original intentions for sending Murkrow to the surrounding area: first, to confirm whether there were other members of the Lava Team around.
After all, if he acted rashly just now, it would most likely attract the attention of others.
Second, he hoped to take this opportunity to survey the surrounding terrain.
After all, it was easy to distinguish during the day, but after nightfall, visibility was really low.
Hei Yu looked at the content in the videotape, and a trace of worry flashed through his mind. In the dim video, red dots could often be seen all over the mountains.
Obviously, they were members of the Lava Team.
"Hey, there's a path inside?!"
Hei Yu hunched over and walked into the path in the night. Four words appeared on the signboard beside him.
Flame Path.
