Chapter 344: I'm Not Certain, but I Want to Go Take a Look

Just as Huo La and Xiao Zhao were talking, the situation on the field had already changed silently.

The Fireburst Beast had long grasped Huo La's tactical intent, using the momentum of the Temple Mountain Top Cliff Wall, it kicked its limbs against the ground, its surrounding flames surged wildly, it unleashed Flare Blitz at full force, leapt high like a burning fireball, and rushed toward the Warrior Eagle King in the sky.

The Dragon King Scorpion also cooperated with perfect tacit understanding, and at the moment the Fireburst Beast's silhouette was about to close in on the Warrior Eagle King, it silently gathered all its poison, a thick stream of Deep Purple Poison surged out, precisely sealing every escape route behind the Warrior Eagle King, leaving it with no way to evade.

And at this hair‑raising moment, Huo La's voice rang out, urgent and brief, with undeniable authority: "Xiao Zhao, Pikachu, Electric Shock!"

Having received Huo La's order, Xiao Zhao dared not hesitate, and immediately shouted at the newly released Pikachu: "Pikachu, use Electric Shock quickly!"

Pikachu responded at once, its ears slightly perking up, its body shimmering with fine Electric Light, a blinding bolt of lightning materialized above the Warrior Eagle King's head, accompanied by a crisp "crack" sound, streaking down like a flash of light, so fast it lasted only an instant, giving the Warrior Eagle King no time to react.

The Electric Shock struck the Warrior Eagle King's body with precision, causing little actual damage, but instantly numbed its nerves, halting its speed and actions for a brief moment.

And that instant was the perfect timing Huo La had long planned.

At the moment the Warrior Eagle King's movement stalled, the Fireburst Beast's Flare Blitz struck its body without hesitation, a "boom" dull thud sounding, the powerful impact knocked the Warrior Eagle King back hard, sending it straight into the Poison Liquid Impact zone the Dragon King Scorpion had already set.

The Deep Purple Poison impact instantly enveloped the Warrior Eagle King, its originally golden‑purple wings and body now firmly stained by the deep purple poison; a string of purple bubbles began to appear above its head, and its body twitched slightly.

It was clearly a sign of having been poisoned by Toxic.

The Warrior Eagle King, having endured the Electric Shock, Flare Blitz, and Poison Liquid Impact in succession, was already unsteady; its wings flapped feebly twice, then could no longer support it, emitting a weak cry as it fell straight toward the ground, crashing heavily onto the snow, raising a plume of snow mist.

Huo La's gaze hardened, his steps quickened, and his body darted like an arrow toward the spot where the Warrior Eagle King fell, daring not to hesitate.

Seizing the instant before the Warrior Eagle King could react to the severe pain and dizzying poison, he lunged forward, pressing his palm tightly onto the Warrior Eagle King's head.

As the energy circulated, the Warrior Eagle King's once vivid golden‑purple sheen began to fade slowly, gradually restoring its appearance to that of an ordinary Warrior Eagle.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye the sun set behind the western hills; the afterglow filtered through the outline of the Snow Peak Temple, spilling onto the Snowfield and coating it with a faint golden sheen.

The Interdimensional Energy that had been enveloping the Warrior Eagle King's body was now completely absorbed by Huo La, vanishing without a trace.

The Warrior Eagle King gradually returned to normal, the fierce aura twisted by Interdimensional Energy fully dissipated, yet the scars from flame, Electric Shock, and poison remained clearly visible on its body, and its wings appeared somewhat wilted and weak.

Huo La slowly withdrew his palm, his body stumbling as if about to fall; Xiao Zhao, quick‑eyed and swift, hurried forward to support him, his tone full of concern: "Huo La, how are you?"

Huo La's face was listless, his complexion pale, fine beads of sweat beading on his forehead; clearly the absorption of Interdimensional Energy had drained much of his stamina, yet his mind remained clear and he did not faint.

Shan Kui hurried to the Warrior Eagle King's side, gently crouched, and softly patted its head, saying with relief: "Great, you're alright now, finally back to normal."

The Warrior Eagle King let out a soft chirp, nuzzling Shan Kui's palm affectionately, then turned its head, its gaze landing on Huo La, emitting a clear chirp, its tone no longer fierce but now somewhat gentle.

"It says it thanks you for helping it break free from the Interdimensional Energy's control, and also apologizes for the sudden attack on you earlier," Shan Kui, having understood the Warrior Eagle King's chirps, turned to Huo La and said.

Huo La was startled, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

He still remembered how this Warrior Eagle King had been so irritable at first, launching a sudden attack at the slightest disagreement, and clearly hadn't expected it to voluntarily apologize to him.

A moment later, he slowly smiled and said softly: "It's okay, Warrior Eagle King. I also must apologize to you; just now the Fireburst Beast, the Dragon King Scorpion, and Xiao Zhao's Pikachu injured you, and although I had no other choice, this was the only way to help you."

"Cheep—!" the Warrior Eagle King chirped again, its tone bright and lively, as if responding to Huo La's apology.

"The Warrior Eagle King asks you, do you want to go down? It can carry you down, which will save a lot of effort," Shan Kui translated, a hint of jealousy in his eyes, then turned to Huo La and added, "Don't get cocky; this is the first time the Warrior Eagle King is willing to let anyone other than me ride."

Huo La followed Shan Kui's gaze to the Warrior Eagle King, which was spreading its wings, gently swaying, indicating that he could land on its back.

Then, Huo La turned his head to glance at the towering Snow Peak Temple behind him, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes, and said slowly: "No need, thank you, Warrior Eagle King. I want to go see the Snow Peak Temple again."

"Go see the Snow Peak Temple again?" This time it wasn't Shan Kui speaking, but Xiao Zhao, who was supporting Huo La, their face full of surprise and their eyes full of confusion, "Huo La, you just absorbed energy and exhausted so much stamina; the Warrior Eagle King is willing to carry us, why do you still want to go back?"

Huo La gave a slight nod, steadied his breathing, his gaze again turning toward the Snow Peak Temple, and offered a reason: "I just vaguely heard a voice, very low, as if it came from the deepest part of the Snow Peak Temple, very indistinct."

"Deep...," Shan Kui heard, the jealous expression on his face instantly fading, first a pause, then his eyes lit up sharply, he hurried to Huo La's side, his tone tinged with excitement and certainty, his voice trembling slightly: "Is... is Regigigas?! It must be it! The Legendary Pokémon said to slumber in the depths of the Snow Peak Temple!"

Xiao Zhao's eyes widened instantly, their face full of disbelief: "Regigigas? Is it really inside the Snow Peak Temple?"

Huo La continued: "I'm not sure; I want to go see."
