"Doo-doo~"
Dorombalut nodded and turned to go back to his home.
In its view, this cave was merely its own territory.
These elves have lived here for so long that they know this place inside and out.
There was no danger inside the cave, and it had no concern whatsoever about Bai Hao's personal safety.
After watching Dragapult leave, Bai Hao recalled his four Pokémon into their Poké Balls.
Besides Doromecia, Shana and the others also dislike the atmosphere here.
Bai Hao simply took them all back.
The shape inside the cave is almost identical to the mountain range outside.
It is over 20 kilometers long and has an average width of about 4 kilometers.
The longitudinal section of the interior space is approximately trapezoidal.
The interior of the cave was filled with strange energy, which greatly limited Bai Hao's perception range.
He tried his best, but could only sense details within a radius of 100 meters.
In order not to miss any clues, he could only scan the entire cave bit by bit.
Bai Hao flew close to the ground at full speed, secretly rejoicing.
"Fortunately, the top of this cave is not much different in height from the mountain, so the upper part should be fine. Otherwise, we would have to do a lot more work."
Bai Hao pressed himself against the edge of the cave, searching inwards in circles.
…………
at the same time.
Zhang Baobao led Gardevoir out of the portal in the secret realm with a blank expression.
The trainers around were not surprised to see Zhang Baobao carrying a Pokémon and holding Park Soo-man.
The beautiful girl and Gardevoir walking side by side are indeed a sight to behold.
If this happened on a normal day, someone might have approached him and asked for his contact information.
But a masked man was floating behind Gardevoir.
This made everyone give up the idea of going up to strike up a conversation.
In the secret realm, no one can guarantee their complete safety; everyone gets injured sometimes.
Every year, quite a few trainers perish in the secret realm.
Generally speaking, after a trainer encounters an accident in a secret realm,
The entire team will immediately cease their exploration and leave the secret realm with the wounded.
Those who were just injured were alright; they had their own Pokémon to care for them, and their companions to help them.
Those who have died are in trouble.
Trainers died on the spot, which shows how tragic the situation must have been.
His elves have most likely been wiped out as well.
At this point, the only option was to leave the task to the surviving companions to collect the bodies.
Generally, the companions would put a mask on the deceased and have their super-powered spirits use their telekinesis to lift the deceased.
The deceased was allowed to lie peacefully in mid-air, trailing behind the procession.
Ok,
This is exactly what Zhang Baobao looks like now!
The trainers around Zhang Baobao, seeing her expressionless face, all assumed she was heartbroken.
Adhering to the principle of respecting the deceased,
Everyone made way for Zhang Baobao, their faces filled with sorrow, as they watched her leave.
Zhang Baobao had some doubts.
Normally, these trainers who enter and leave the secret realm all have a cheerful expression on their face.
Why does everyone look so grief-stricken today, like someone's mother has died?
But she ignored them and walked towards the exit of the hall with a blank expression.
The staff members nearby also noticed Zhang Baobao's entourage and immediately came over to greet her.
"Hello, excuse me for interrupting."
"Excuse me, is your companion... (dead)?"
The staff member didn't say it directly, but instead gestured with his eyes to Park Soo-man, who was floating in mid-air.
Before Zhang Baobao left the secret realm, Bai Hao specifically instructed her...
After she leaves the secret realm, she is not to trust anyone, but to contact Zhang Huaiyi directly and follow his instructions.
During the time before the arrival of the backup team, the most important thing is to ensure that Park Soo-man does not come into contact with any outsiders!
Seeing the staff's gaze, Zhang Baobao immediately remembered Bai Hao's reminder, and her expression instantly became serious.
"What do you want to do?"
"You won't get near him!"
Seeing Zhang Baobao's serious expression, the staff confirmed their suspicions and quickly apologized to her.
"I'm so sorry to bother you."
This wasn't the first time the staff had encountered news of deaths in the secret realm, and they knew that their companions were deeply grieving and unwilling to mention the deceased.
Therefore, she didn't mention this matter to Zhang Baobao, and her tone became even gentler.
"You can just show your own identification."
"I will process your departure from the secret realm right now."
The secret realm is strictly controlled; everyone entering and leaving must register, including the deceased.
However, the procedures for the deceased can be postponed; it's fine to complete them in half a month.
Once your companion has completed the necessary procedures, simply leave the room open for the person who hasn't yet completed the exit procedures.
Zhang Baobao knew that registration was required to enter and exit the secret realm, so she obediently handed over her identification.
The staff recorded information on the instrument and saw that Zhang Baobao's teammate was also a male elite trainer, so they assumed that the person Gardevoir was carrying was this person.
So she quickly helped Zhang Baobao complete the formalities and saw her off from the Secret Realm Hall.
"Your paperwork has been completed."
The staff watched Zhang Baobao leave the lobby, then sighed deeply and remarked with regret,
"How could someone so young be gone?"
"The secret realm is still too dangerous."
…………
After searching most of the secret realm, Bai Hao finally discovered some clues.
Under the control of his telekinesis, he slowly raised his height, bringing the pattern on the ground into complete view.
Inside the dimly lit cave, the surrounding stone walls shimmered with a faint blue-purple fluorescence.
The fluorescence was very faint, but permeated every corner.
Only here is a completely dark ring devoid of any light.
Bai Hao released his senses and calculated the size of the [black ring].
Outer diameter: 200 meters
Inner diameter: 196 meters.
A 2-meter-wide area of darkness forms a perfectly circular ring!
This ring is extremely regular.
Even with Bai Hao's current strength, he couldn't sense the slightest deviation!
"This is really..."
Bai Hao sighed softly and returned to the center of the ground.
He pressed his palms firmly against the ground, carefully sensing the situation around him.
Bai Hao selected dozens of different positions inside and outside the circle for comparison.
However, no abnormalities were found.
"So... the inside and outside of the ring are the same?"
"Then the problem lies with the ring itself, isn't it?"
