34 Pikachu's Railgun
'So, is this supposed to be the location of the heaven and earth treasures?'
Wang Shóu thought, mentally asking the system in his mind.
In front of him is a small lake, and further beyond is an enormous waterfall, with torrent of raging water crashing down.
He senses no traces or aura of heaven and earth treasures within the lake.
[Yes. My scan has shown that the heaven and earth treasures are behind the waterfall.]
'Alright, that is not surprising, I guess. I remember that there are a lot of cases of treasures usually hidden behind waterfalls in most games.'
Wang Shóu, looking at the lake, nodded before jumping into the water.
Splash!
Flexibly moving his body, Wang Shóu quickly swims across the lake.
Then he dives into the water, and a few moments later, he emerges from the water, this time from behind the waterfall.
Within the waterfall is a large cave entrance, with pure darkness inside, as if to repel outsiders.
'A cave? Hmm, it is likely that the spirit beast inside is guarding the heaven and earth treasures...'
Wang Shóu has not forgotten about the system's reminder about the red spot that is near the heaven and earth treasures.
He has to be wary, as a red spot indicates that it is on the same level as him or could even threaten his life.
Peering inside the entrance, even with his enhanced eyesight, he can barely see anything in the cave.
'Alright, well, I should head in now.'
Taking a deep breath, Wang Shóu isn't actually too worried about encountering unexpected scenarios.
He has already mentally directed his Charmeleon to head toward the direction where he is now.
Although there is a tricky problem of Charmeleon not being able to swim in the water.
But there won't be a problem anymore once Charmeleon evolves into Charizard.
The Pokedex from the Pokemon game has said that if the ember of fire on the tail of Charmander were to go out, it means that Charmander is no longer alive anymore.
That also extends to Charmeleon and Charizard too.
So it has given people the illusion that even a splash of water may take away Charizard's life.
That is actually wrong, as Charizard can produce its own fuel to maintain its fire and can stay hot enough to burn even underwater.
It can also pull in some dissolved oxygen from the water to keep the flame going for a bit, but it's only for a short time.
Meaning that Charizard with enough strength can temporarily survive underwater, although not for very long.
Unfortunately, Charmeleon does not have the strength to do that yet, so he would not be able to help.
The only reason why he brought Charmeleon over is to provide direction for Xiong Yong.
Because as a bear, Xiong Yong is able to swim in the place that Charmeleon could not.
And judging from the size of the cave, Xiong Yong would be able to fit in the cave easily.
Thinking of those matters in a few seconds, Wang Shóu has already headed into the cave.
Walking into the cave, he detects no abnormality and sees nothing but rocky walls.
But as he keeps walking, he frowns as he notices various traces of webs on the cave's walls.
'A spider spirit beast? I hate spiders along with bugs...they are so creepy and give me the willies...'
Thinking of those annoying spiders and bugs in the previous life, his thoughts are disrupted as he feels a piercing stare of killing intent from above.
Looking upward, he saw a giant spider on top of the cave's ceiling, faintly hissing at him with hostility.
Its body is around three meters in diameter, and its carapace is a strange dull golden color.
And strangely, there is a face pattern on the spider's stomach that looks extremely similar to a beautiful woman.
Wang Shóu's face turns ugly. Seeing the spider in front of him, he quickly realizes the identity of this spirit beast.
'Man-Face Demon Spider?! Weren't they supposed to be extinct?!'
Man-Faced Demon Spider is famous for being an extremely powerful and dangerous creature even among spirit beasts.
Due to their cruelty and strength, they are also called the Predator of Predators.
The reason for their reputation is that their entire body is literally a weapon, with all of its legs being extremely sharp. Its body is said to be as hard as metal, so hard that even an ordinary weapon can't penetrate it.
Also, its body is filled with extremely dangerous venom that easily corrodes the bone and eats away at people's hearts. And its web is also very venomous, extremely sticky, and durable.
And when it reaches 50,000 years, it becomes an existence called Man-Face Demon Spider Emperor, which is comparable to a 100,000 years old spirit beast!
And Man-Face Demon Spider has a special characteristic of a face pattern on its stomach, and the stronger it is, the more its face-pattern will look like that of a human.
Because of their extreme cruelty and viciousness, Man-Face Demon Spider is widely hated by both spirit beasts and humanity alike.
So they were hunted by both spirit beasts and humanity, which makes their dwindling number go down even more.
In Douluo Dalu 2, there are almost no Man-Face Demon Spiders left, and in Douluo Dalu 3, they are completely extinct.
'So why is there still a Man-Face Demon Spider alive in this era?!'
He doesn't have time to ponder this as the Man-Face Demon Spider has already proceeded to attack.
Slash!
Its leg, like a sharp weapon, stabs toward Wang Shóu's location at a startling speed.
Wang Shóu quickly dodges it with his signature move, Quick Attack, and lands on the cave's wall.
The leg, missing Wang Shóu, continues to pierce through, piercing the ground several feet deep below.
'Dang! What kind of power is this!'
Wang Shóu shudders, unable to imagine the consequences if he hadn't dodged it.
Seeing that its attack failed to hit the yellow mouse, Man-Face Demon Spider seems to be annoyed and bellows a loud shriek.
Shriek!!
Then Man-Face Demon Spider spews a burst of web, almost covering the entire area in the cave, leaving no way for Wang Shóu to escape.
'Thunderbolt!'
Wang Shóu rapidly concentrates the energy of electricity, with his cheeks crackling with electricity.
Then he jumps and discharges a powerful bolt of electricity, ripping through the web and hitting Man-Face Demon Spider who was unable to react.
Shrieking in pain, the Man-Face Demon Spider falls from the cave's ceiling and hits the ground with a loud thud.
But of course, Wang Shóu isn't done yet, as he doesn't feel eased as he is entirely aware of the Man-Face Demon Spider's vicious reputation.
'Thunder Wave!'
A small blot of lightning quickly strikes the Man-Face Demon Spider, and it quickly becomes paralyzed, unable to temporarily move.
'Ooh boy, Man-Face Demon Spider is dealt with now.'
'But what now? I said I won't kill the spirit beast that is guarding the heaven and earth treasures, but this is a Man-Faced Demon Spider.'
Wang Shóu frowns, deeply troubled by this.
But looking at the Man-Face Demon Spider that is unable to move, Wang Shóu suddenly got an idea.
'Hmm, well, no matter, there's something I wanna try.'
In the past few months, he hasn't only been training the fusion improvised move.
Because while the fusion improved move is indeed powerful, it requires two or more people to use it.
So he recently created a new move that he can use by himself, but he hasn't had time to properly test it though.
Now facing the Man-Face Demon Spider, it is the perfect time to test its power.
With a swing of his tail, an orb of electricity is quickly conjured up, with electricity pulsing inside.
But this time, he doesn't throw the Electro Ball at the enemy.
Instead, he keeps it above his tail, and he begins to emit pure electricity, concentrating it into the orb.
As the electricity of the orb is being rapidly concentrated, it begins to pulsate, radiating almost pure power from the amount of energy inside.
Once the electricity can no longer be concentrated into the orb of electricity anymore, Wang Shóu lightly tosses it in the air.
With the orb tossed up in the air, Wang Shóu quickly hardens his tail into pure steel in preparation for what's about to happen.
He jumps up in the air and hits the orb of pulsating electricity with tremendous force.
As if propelled by a cannon, the orb rips through the air, leaving an afterimage in its wake.
Tearing through the air, it quickly passes through the cave's pathway in a straight direction and rips through the waterfall.
Ripping through the waterfall, the pulsating orb keeps moving at a tremendous speed until finally, a small white dome of pure explosion can be faintly seen a few kilometers away.
With the explosion, a small tremor can be felt, spreading across dozens of kilometers, even faintly shaking the cavern.
Feeling the tremor, Wang Shóu grins.
'Seems like the move: Super Electromagnetic Cannon is a success!'
Electro Ball + Discharge + Iron Tail = Rip-off Super Electromagnetic Cannon!

A/N: Btw sorry for the late update. I had a bad case of nasal congestion due to the cold I recently had and to make it even worse, I accidentally deleted my window filled with 100 tabs and couldn't recover it. So I had to spend few days to recover all the tabs by looking through the history. So yeah, the past five days has not been kind to me. I hope the situation will improve in the future :3
