Chapter 32

The sweet honey was all food collected by Heracross; Su Yu had no intention of taking it.

These things can be bought outside anyway, and carrying them would release a scent that easily attracts Pokémon, which is quite dangerous.

Therefore, Su Yu simply swiped one of the Evolution Stones and the Soothe Bell, stuffing them into his backpack.

After glancing around repeatedly to ensure nothing else remained, Su Yu departed from the place with his Combusken.

Following the same method, Su Yu also found many good items in Pinsir's nest.

[Leaf Stone: A mysterious stone that can evolve certain specific Pokémon. It features leaf-like patterns.]

After taking what he wanted, Su Yu slipped away stealthily.

If these Pokémon discovered that he had robbed their homes while they were fighting,

they would surely hunt him down to the ends of the earth.

Once outside, Su Yu headed straight for his destination: the mine.

He did not pause for even a moment.

Along the way, he sprayed some insect repellent on a section of the path.

Although these sprays have no scent to humans, they have a significant effect on Pokémon.

Spraying them would prevent the Pokémon from tracking him by scent.

"Phew! That trip was truly thrilling."

While running, Su Yu spoke to the Combusken beside him.

"Cha-mo!" The Combusken nodded in agreement.

Although he was confident he could defeat those Pokémon, two fists cannot match four hands.

He might easily be ganged up on and defeated outright.

After running for over ten minutes and confirming no Pokémon were pursuing him from behind, Su Yu proceeded directly to his destination.

043: Secret Treasure Dragon Fang!

"We've finally reached our ultimate destination, the mine at coordinates (149, 240). Let's hope there aren't any strange Pokémon inside."

Looking at the coordinates written on his phone, Su Yu confirmed he had arrived at the location mentioned in the letter.

After lighting the torch in his hand, Su Yu carried it and walked into the mine.

The light produced by the burning torch instantly illuminated the surroundings.

The originally pitch-black mine gained a slight glimmer of brightness.

As Su Yu ventured deeper into the mine, numerous Zubats, frightened by his torchlight, flew out toward the cave entrance.

Some Zubats even charged straight at Su Yu and his Combusken.

"Bagon, Ember! Combusken, Flame Thrower! Shinx, Thunder Shock! Drive these Zubats away!"

The Zubats, who had been preparing to charge, immediately saw the Pokémon releasing their moves.

They instantly turned tail and fled in another direction.

In just a few dozen meters, Su Yu reached the rear of the mine.

At this point, the area was covered everywhere with dense spider webs, seeming to have been abandoned for a long time.

If not for what the letter stated, Su Yu would never have believed there was any treasure here.

It appeared this was simply a mine created by artificial excavation.

"Shinx, Bagon. You come out too; see if you can find any items. Especially you, Shinx, make sure to pay attention to your surroundings."

At this moment, Su Yu chose to send out all his Pokémon.

Unlike humans, Pokémon possess organs capable of sensing treasures.

When searching for secret treasures, letting Pokémon look often saves considerable time.

After coming out, Shinx nodded to indicate understanding.

He then sniffed the air and began scouting the surroundings.

In stark contrast to Shinx, Bagon closed his eyes immediately upon emerging.

He seemed to be sensing something.

"What's wrong, Bagon? Did you find something?"

Holding the torch, Su Yu walked over to Bagon and asked.

"Ton-wei!"

Bagon suddenly shouted excitedly, then stared fixedly in one direction and rushed over with quick steps.

"Bagon, wait for me!"

Seeing Bagon so excited, Su Yu hurriedly followed after him.

After stopping, Bagon began digging a hole with his forelimbs.

Su Yu stared intently at the hole Bagon was digging.

Before long, Bagon dug out an item that looked ancient and had a sharp tip.

It was grayish-white overall, broken at the root as if it had been snapped off.

Bagon quickly grabbed the item and then called out to Su Yu.

"Ton-wei!"

Upon seeing this item, Su Yu immediately used his Appraisal Eye.

[Dragon Fang: A hard and sharp tooth. When held, it boosts the power of Dragon-type moves.]

"It's actually a Dragon Fang!"

Su Yu exclaimed in surprise.

The Dragon Fang is also a type of secret treasure.

It was just that the energy contained within the dragon tooth was of the dragon attribute.

In other words, this was a heavenly treasure capable of boosting the aptitude of dragon-type Pokémon!

One must understand that although secret treasures are extremely precious, the most precious among them is the dragon tooth!

Because dragon-type spirits are considerably stronger than spirits of other attributes, items related to dragon-type spirits appear exceptionally valuable.

A dragon tooth is three or four times more expensive than secret treasures of other attributes!

In other words, this dragon tooth is worth hundreds of millions! Moreover, it has a price but no market!

Not only is the price exorbitant, but the quantity of dragon teeth is also extremely scarce.

If someone were to auction one off, the buyers would basically be those Celestial Kings and Champions!

Without the strength of a Celestial King, one simply cannot obtain such a dragon-type secret treasure.

Therefore, the value of a dragon tooth is imaginable.

At this moment, the Shinx, which had circled inside the rocky cave, returned empty-handed.

It cried out a few times, seemingly stating that it had discovered absolutely nothing.

Hearing the Shinx's explanation, a guess formed in Su Yu's heart.

The person mentioned in the letter who obtained a magnet in this mine was likely a fabrication by that individual.

In reality, what that person truly found in this mine was a dragon tooth!

After obtaining the secret treasure, although that person understood the principle of not revealing wealth, they could not resist the loneliness in their heart.

Thus, they claimed to have obtained the magnet within a secret realm.

This allowed them to arouse others' envy while still preserving their assets.

It could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Su Yu also felt a surge of relief.

Fortunately, that person had truly revealed the coordinates of the treasure.

Otherwise, he would have indeed missed out on this dragon tooth.

Su Yu could not help but thank this stranger he had never met in his heart.

Just then, Su Yu faced a problem: should this dragon tooth be sold to someone else, or fed directly to Bagon?

If sold directly, Su Yu could become overnight rich, turning into a billionaire!

If given to Bagon, it might allow Bagon's aptitude to reach another level!

Becoming a spirit with an aptitude reaching that of a Sect Master!

In this world, the peak strength of a Champion is level 99.
