Chapter 261 Traces in the Forest
"Honestly, it's all your fault that I got lectured too..."
"Haha~ Sorry, sorry~"
Because they couldn't answer Professor Yamanashi's question, Ash and Ash were pulled aside by Professor Yamanashi after class and lectured for more than ten minutes before being released. Although the lecture didn't last long, it felt like several hours to Ash and Ash.
After the speech, they finally had free time.
During this time, Ash finally brought Ash's people to the forest he had mentioned.
only--
"So what exactly were you trying to say back then? That there's treasure in this forest? Are you serious?" Ash didn't really believe what Ash was saying.
He thought that Ah Xun might have misread it, or that he was just too dizzy and his eyes were playing tricks on him at midday.
How could there be treasure in this forest? Apart from the temporary summer camp accommodations, there are no other people living nearby. Although it can't be called a deep mountain forest, it is still quite deserted. What kind of treasure could there be in such a place?
"It sounds like it! Repeat after me, it sounds just like it!"
Although Ah Xun only used words like "it seems" and "maybe," his expression gave people the feeling of being very confident.
What do you think?
Ash didn't argue with Ash too much, but instead passed the question on to Dawn and Brock who were following behind them, as well as Pikachu who was perched on his shoulder and being led around by him.
"I think it's unlikely..."
"Speaking of which, why do you think there's treasure here, Ah Xun?"
“Pikachu…”
The distrust expressed by Xiaoguang, Xiaogang, and Pikachu made Axun anxious.
"Because I discovered a strange phenomenon in this forest!"
As Ah Xun spoke, he gestured with his hands.
"When I came here at noon today, clusters of purple mist suddenly appeared on the forest floor. The mist swayed on the ground and soon formed a long purple bridge!"
"what?"
"what?"
Ash and Dawn exchanged a glance, both reading confusion in each other's eyes.
Although the world is so big, there are bound to be some inexplicable phenomena, the scenario Ah Xun described was something they could never have imagined.
"In short, everything I said is true! There's absolutely not a single lie!" Seeing that no one still believed him, Ah Xun became even more anxious.
"Since you believe there is treasure on the other side of the bridge, why don't you just walk down the bridge and bring it back?"
Xiao Guang, with one hand on his hip and the other waving weakly in the air, casually asked.
"Ah... well..." When Hikaru asked this, Ah Xun, who had been somewhat aggressive, immediately quieted down. He scratched his slightly messy hair, chuckled awkwardly, and replied, "Because when I was halfway there, I suddenly heard the school bell ring, and I was afraid of being late and getting scolded by Professor Yamanashi, so I..."
"You went back the way you came, right? That makes sense."
Xiao Guang crossed his arms and nodded, clearly understanding the sentiment.
After all, Dr. Yamanashi is more terrifying than anything unknown.
"Even so, it's hard to be sure there's treasure here, isn't it? What if there's something dangerous here..."
By this point, even Xiao Gang had come to believe that A Xun had indeed gone through all of this.
However, despite believing it, Xiao Gang was unsure whether he should go and investigate, given the strange phenomena that were occurring there.
"It's alright, let's go."
Before Xiaogang could draw any conclusions, Xiaozhi suddenly stepped forward and said this.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be in this direction."
"Huh?! How did you know?! Is it that Aura power again? That's too much! You have to be fined! You should be the first one to discover the treasure here!"
Ash covered his ears, ignoring the noisy Ash beside him, and silently used his Aura to probe into the distance.
There was nothing special in the section of road where the waveguide still remained, but the familiar fluctuation was basically the same as what he had detected that night.
So the answer is actually quite obvious.
Following the guidance of the Aura, which led the group deep into the forest, Ash suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? Are we there yet?"
Seeing that Ash wasn't moving forward, Ash walked around him with some curiosity, while Dawn and Brock behind him also turned their gazes forward.
This was a bare, empty space; there was nothing there.
But at the end of the open space, a stone tablet... no, it should be a tombstone, sat alone on the barren ground.
