Chapter 725: Poachers: I feel like I'm fighting an army
Relying on his own skills, plus a little bit of outside help.
Su Hao successfully participated in the poacher capture mission.
Under the envious gazes of his two teammates, Zhao Yunlan and Xia Xiaoguang, he set off with dozens of Snowfield Base soldiers toward the location of the temple ruins.
This journey required passing through Snowy Creek Valley, then entering the Summit Tunnel, and finally passing through the Summit Snow Path to arrive.
The journey was long, and even though climbing a snowy mountain was much simpler than descending, it still took a full day.
Along the way, Su Hao did not participate in a single battle.
After all, these soldiers were tacit partners who had cooperated with each other for nearly ten years; joining in would not only easily cause the rhythm to go wrong, but might also affect their coordination.
Su Hao simply acted as logistics support.
"Little Brother Su, please help heal my Jynx!"
A border guard who was also participating in the operation, but was responsible for sealing off the surrounding area, brought his Pokémon to the center of the team where Su Hao was.
His Jynx had several deep wounds; Su Hao judged that it was most likely an attack from his old acquaintance, Weavile.
The higher they went, the more dangerous the environment and Pokémon became; often, by the time they reached the temple ruins, nearly half of the combat power would be temporarily unable to fight.
Perhaps this was why the poachers chose the temple ruins as their hiding place.
Therefore, to hunt down a dozen or so poachers, dozens of border guards were needed.
"No problem, just some wounds."
The young man said that Jynx had been knocked out of combat by Weavile's Poison Jab move.
Su Hao checked and confirmed that there was no poison residue in Jynx's body.
As he spoke, emerald fluorescent light bloomed from Su Hao's hands and flowed into Jynx's body; as the light flickered, the wounds on Jynx's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Under the young man's worshipful gaze, in just about a minute, Jynx's injuries were restored to as good as new, and even the lost stamina was replenished.
"That's it, hurry back to your team."
Wiping away non-existent sweat, Su Hao blocked Jynx, who wanted to lean in and use Lovely Kiss on him, with one hand, and said without changing his expression.
"Ah...... okay, thank you."
The young man replied in a daze, then pulled Jynx, who was persistently trying to ask for a kiss, and left quickly.
After the young man left, He Jie, who was the main force for capturing the poacher group and had also not participated in the battle, walked over, his face still a bit numb.
A day had passed since they started climbing, and the team's original prediction was to reach the woods near the temple ruins in the early hours of the third day.
And now, only a day had passed, and that forest was already in sight.
All of this was thanks to this college student in front of him.
Every time the team suffered injuries, his unreasonably strong healing special ability would intervene, actually doubling the speed of the climb by his own strength.
And his healing speed and intensity....... ordinary Professional-level Blissey probably aren't even this powerful.
Who exactly is the Pokémon here?
Under the fine snow falling from the sky, in the dilapidated and worn-out temple, a dozen people dressed as poachers were gathered in front of a campfire discussing their plan.
The blonde woman with a hot figure, who was the leader, asked indifferently: "Is there any movement from the Snowfield Base?"
The short man who had just returned from scouting was eating his dry rations, his mouth mumbling: "Everything is normal; except for the teams patrolling the border line, we haven't found any traces of anyone resting on this route."
"That's good......."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
In the poacher circle, what is famous for being troublesome is the mission in the Shenzhou Alliance.
The officials here are too difficult to deal with; they often mobilize a large force to capture even a small group of smugglers, and poaching without alerting the officials is not an easy thing.
It seems that the Froslass they severely injured has nothing to do with the Snowfield Base.
The woman stood up and announced with a wave of her arm: "Since we haven't alerted the Snowfield Base, the hardship of lurking in the cold for three days has paid off."
the suffering was still rewarded."
"One hour later, the target is the Snorunt, Glalie, and Froslass settlement in the southwest direction; this time, we will make a fortune just like five years ago!"
The woman's voice infected the poachers, who raised their hands in response: "Oh oh oh!!"
"Hurry up, erase the traces of living, and prepare to set off!"
Hearing this, the dozen or so people began to clean up the areas they had lived in, striving not to leave any evidence that could allow the Shenzhou Alliance to find them.
The woman casually poured a pot of used dirty water onto the campfire, and a burst of white smoke appeared along with the sizzling sound of the fire being extinguished.
Looking at the temple ruins full of broken walls, and the bare, nearly withered large tree in the center of the temple, Miana hooked the corner of her mouth into an intrigued arc.
"It's fortunate that this dead tree is here; otherwise, spending three days in this roofless temple ruin wouldn't be an easy thing."
"However...... there is actually a temple ruin on the top of this snowy mountain; could it be built by some king of the Shenzhou Alliance in ancient times?"
Looking at the place that had been quiet since they arrived, with no wild Pokémon appearing, a look of confusion flashed in Miana's eyes.
This place...... was too empty; except for the forest not far away, everything around was almost bare, and not even a tree branch could be found.
Even the firewood used for the campfire was taken from the dead tree behind them.
Before Miana could think carefully, a small explosion sounded suddenly, startling her.
"What happened!?"
At this moment, a lackey ran over in a hurry, his face full of panic: "Big Sister, the people from the Snowfield Base have attacked!!"
"What!? How dare they attack my territory....... No, wait, how could they have attacked!?"
"Xiao Qi just returned from scouting; didn't he say that two days ago, apart from a group of training college students, there was no sign of the Snowfield Base carrying out any collective missions!?"
A look of panic appeared on Miana's face, and she was puzzled.
Even if those people from the Snowfield Base were familiar with this place, it would take at least two days or more to arrive here.
And Xiao Qi only started walking back two days ago; no matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be possible.
At this time, another poacher ran in.
"It's bad, Big Sister; the people from the Snowfield Base have surrounded all the escape routes, and then sent a six-person squad to attack!"
Miana's eyes widened, and she said in confusion: "Ha? Why are you panicking over six people? Just capture them as hostages!?"
"What is the strength of the other party?"
