Chapter 25
The Flashing Great Jaw Ant

“Greater Jaw Ant!”

Shi Yi looked at the several small and cute Greater Jaw Ants in front of him, his eyes softened slightly.

Beside these Greater Jaw Ants were some shattered eggshells.

It was clear.

These Greater Jaw Ants were newly hatched baby Pokémon.

Among them.

The Greater Jaw Ant with the different color was also present.

The Greater Jaw Ants, upon seeing Shi Yi and the Sand Snail Python, were all so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

“Hiss…!”

The Sand Snail Python flicked its tongue, as if to intimidate the Greater Jaw Ants.

Suddenly.

Two timid Greater Jaw Ants fainted from fright.

Seeing this, Shi Yi rolled his eyes at the Sand Snail Python.

He said speechlessly, “You little guy, put away your tongue. These Greater Jaw Ants have just hatched, they have never seen such an ugly strange uncle, what if you scare them?”

“Hiss...”

After being reprimanded by Shi Yi, the Sand Snail Python retreated, looking like it was somewhat wronged?

Shi Yi was speechless again, you’re actually feeling wronged?!

“Greater Jaw Ants, you don’t need to be afraid, I’m not here to harm you.”

Shi Yi ignored the Sand Snail Python for now and looked at the little guys in front of him.

Under the inspection of the Appraisal Eye.

Shi Yi checked the potential of these Greater Jaw Ants.

They were basically all Elite class, only the Shiny Greater Jaw Ant had Gym class potential.

【Pokémon: Greater Jaw Ant (♂) (Shiny)】

【Level: 2 (Beginner Early)】

【Type: Ground】

【Ability: Sheer Force (The additional effects of moves are negated, but the moves hit with increased power.)】

【Individual Values: HP (30), Attack (31), Defense (28), Special Attack (24), Special Defense (22), Speed (29)】

【Moves: Sand Attack, Scary Face】

【Egg Moves: Quick Attack】

【Held Item: None】

【Potential: Gym Class】

“Gym class, huh...”

Shi Yi wasn't surprised at all that the Shiny Greater Jaw Ant’s potential was only Gym class.

After all.

The Desert Secret Realm was only a B-rank secret realm.

The Pokémon inside, their levels and potential, wouldn't be particularly high.

It was already considered good luck to have a Shiny Pokémon appear.

“Greater Jaw Ant, would you like to come with me?”

Shi Yi squatted down and wanted to touch the green Greater Jaw Ant in front of him.

But it dodged.

The Greater Jaw Ant’s head was big, but its eyes were small, like button eyes.

It stared at Shi Yi, its eyes flowing with a bit of hostility.

Obviously.

The Sand Snail Python’s intimidation earlier had made the Greater Jaw Ants subconsciously treat Shi Yi as an enemy.

Just then.

The ground above began to shake again.

Many of the tunnels underground were filled with the fallen sand.

The Greater Jaw Ants were all shivering.

They were just babies that had been born not long ago, and they hadn't seen much of the world.

They didn't even know what the outside world was like.

Seeing this, Shi Yi frowned slightly.

If they didn't leave soon, they would probably be buried alive underground.

The Greater Jaw Ants would be fine, even if they were buried in the sand, they could escape using their own digging ability.

But Shi Yi was different, if he was buried alive, that would be it for him.

“Whatever!”

Shi Yi took out a red and white Poké Ball and directly shot it at the green Greater Jaw Ant’s head.

Capture it first, and then cultivate its friendship after leaving this place.

When the Poké Ball hit the green Greater Jaw Ant’s head.

It directly caught it.

The Greater Jaw Ant, which was only level two, could not escape the restraint of the Poké Ball.

Soon.

It showed that the capture was successful.

Shi Yi hurriedly picked up the Poké Ball.

With his other hand, he pulled on the Sand Snail Python’s sand sac, motioning for the Sand Snail Python to run in the opposite direction.

The Sand Snail Python understood and plunged into the tunnel dug by the Greater Jaw Ants.

It began to dig its way out.

According to the directions on Shi Yi’s data panel, Su Shan Shan’s sister had fallen into the underground palace in the southwest direction.

About dozens of kilometers away.

“Taking the underground route is also a good choice.”

Shi Yi thought for a moment and said.

The only downside was that the underground was too dark and there was a disgusting smell.

While the Sand Snail Python was digging its way forward.

Shi Yi saw a system prompt on the data panel.

【Congratulations, Host, for successfully intercepting Zhang Yan’s purple opportunity.】

【Reward: Double Experience Points, a small amount of Experience Candy.】

【Double Experience Points: After winning a battle, the participating Pokémon gains double experience points, and the reserve Pokémon gains single experience points.】

“Double Experience Points?”

Upon seeing this talent skill.

Shi Yi’s eyes lit up.

In the world of Pokémon, most trainers first cultivate a Pokémon before capturing other Pokémon and slowly training them.

The main reason was... cultivating a Pokémon and raising its level required a lot of battles, which in turn required a lot of experience points.

But what if there were double experience points, wouldn't that shorten the training time by half?

Moreover.

Reserve Pokémon could also gain experience points.

It was like in games, where Pokémon that didn't participate in battles could still gain corresponding experience points and level up together.

“This talent ability is simply too powerful!”

Shi Yi exclaimed excitedly.

“Hiss!”

Seeing its owner happy, the Sand Snail Python also dug happily, increasing its digging speed.

About ten minutes later.

Shi Yi saw on the data panel map that they were getting close to where Su Shan Shan’s sister had fallen.

He patted the Sand Snail Python’s sand sac.

“Sand Snail Python, slow down, dig slowly.”

Shi Yi was afraid that the Sand Snail Python would dig too far.

They would have to turn around and dig again.

“Hiss!”

The Sand Snail Python nodded, indicating that it understood.

As the Sand Snail Python slowed down.

Shi Yi smelled the rusty smell of iron.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Yi said to the Sand Snail Python, “Open a passage in this direction.”

“Hiss!”

The Sand Snail Python plunged towards the direction Shi Yi pointed.

Bang——!

A dull impact sound, the Sand Snail Python’s head was a little dizzy.

Shi Yi also saw where the Sand Snail Python had hit, thanks to the light of the flashlight.

It was a piece of rusty iron.

“Are you okay, Sand Snail Python?”

Shi Yi asked the Sand Snail Python.

A noticeable bump appeared on the top of the Sand Snail Python’s head.

“Hiss...”

The Sand Snail Python said that it felt wronged, it had suffered an undeserved disaster.

“Alright, alright, alright, when we get out, I'll reward you with a bag of delicious Energy Blocks.”

“Hiss!”

The Sand Snail Python immediately changed its wronged face to a smug one.

It rammed into the other side again.

This time.

It didn’t hit the iron, but it opened a passage.

Through the passage, Shi Yi saw that ahead was a... room?
