Chapter 792

"Roar!"

The armored rhinoceros let out a deafening roar and stomped its four hooves on the ground, leaving spider-web-like cracks on the ground.

It lowered its head, pointed its horn at Lin Yu, and rushed over like a chariot out of control. The strong wind it brought blew away the fallen leaves around it.

Lin Yu did not hide.

He drew his sword with his backhand.

When the armored rhinoceros's horn was only three steps away from him, he suddenly turned sideways and chopped down with his sword along the curve of the rhinoceros' horn.

It didn't hit the vital part, but accurately cut into the gap between the scales on the rhino's neck!

"Ow!"

The armored rhinoceros felt pain and stood up suddenly. Its huge body almost crushed the tree next to it.

Lin Yu took advantage of the momentum to flip over and jump onto the rhinoceros's back, stabbing it with the sword again. The energy of destiny flowed into the rhinoceros' body along the blade, like an ice cone piercing into hot blood.

"Lin Yu, stop!" The Aglaya group caught up.

The golden thread covered Lin Yu like a net, but he cut it off with his backhanded sword.

The broken golden thread turned into a point of light and dissipated in the air.

Aglaya was surprised. She didn't expect that Lin Yu could sense her golden thread and even destroy it.

"Don't stop me." Lin Yu's voice came from the back of the armored rhinoceros, still cold, "Do you want it to rush in and hurt those children?"

Aglaya paused.

The children in the town were peeking from behind the fence, their eyes full of fear. The older sister was holding the trembling Rongrong tightly, her face pale.

Can..

She looked at the rhino struggling in pain and could sense its fear.

It was not the fear of Lin Yu, but the fear of something deep in the forest. It hit the fence, perhaps just trying to escape into the town for shelter.

"It's not attacking, it's calling for help!"

"It was injured by something else!"

Lin Yu paused.

The armored rhinoceros took the opportunity to swing its body and throw him away.

But instead of attacking, it staggered backward, banging its head against the fence and whimpering.

This time, there was no anger in his voice, only despair.

Suddenly, the armored rhinoceros turned around and ran towards Lin Yu, its heavy hooves leaving deep marks on the ground, but it was not an attack.

At this moment, the black shadow that had always been shrouded in the shadow of the tree suddenly accelerated, and the vines on the edge twisted wildly, and the fishy wind blew in the face along with the wind, and even the air became sticky.

"It seems to be him." Dan Heng's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Yu's ears. He had quietly approached at some point, looking at the direction where the shadow came from with a serious look in his eyes.

he?

Lin Yu's heart tightened, and he was about to ask "Who is he?", but he saw that the black shadow had broken through the last patch of woods, revealing the figure inside.

It's a blade.

The blade of one of the Star Core Hunters.

"You, why are you here?" Dan Heng stepped forward and stood in front of everyone, alert.

The moment the armored rhinoceros saw the blade, it seemed to be seized by invisible fear, and the courage that had just urged Lin Yu to escape instantly collapsed.

It whimpered in fear, turned its head sharply and ran into the forest, digging two deep grooves in the ground with its hooves, not even caring about the wound that was stabbed by Lin Yu.

"Buzz!"

The crisp sound of a long sword being unsheathed cut through the air. Almost at the moment when the armored rhinoceros turned around, Blade's wrist shook lightly, and the long sword shot out like a black lightning!

"Pfft!"

The sound of the sharp blade entering the flesh could be clearly heard. The long sword accurately penetrated the neck of the armored rhinoceros and nailed it to a tree not far away.

The rhinoceros' huge body struggled violently for several times, its limbs twitching, and finally it drooped its head weakly. The light in its eyes quickly dimmed, and after a while, it completely lost its life.

Blood flowed slowly along the tree trunk and formed a dark red pool on the grass.

"What does this mean?" Dan Heng frowned and looked at the gradually cold corpse with a questioning tone in his voice.

The armored rhinoceros's action just now was clearly a warning, but Blade killed it without hesitation. This was by no means a coincidence.

"Ingredients." Ren's voice was calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

He didn't even look at Danheng, nor did he pay attention to the astonished looks of the people around him. He walked straight towards the rhinoceros nailed to the tree.

Lin Yu looked at Ren's back. He didn't expect to meet him in a place like Liuguang Island, and he didn't expect that he would regard Pokémon as "food".

Since he is here, does that mean that others are here too?

Silver Wolf...Firefly and Kafka.

Aglaya's golden thread quietly reached towards the blade, but was cut off by a sharp sword energy when it got close.

She could see a strong murderous aura surrounding Blade, like insoluble ink. Even the Pokémon around him were frightened and hid in the bushes, trembling.

"What is he looking for?" Lin Yu asked in a low voice, his eyes swept over the blade, the shadow there seemed to be deeper, "You can't really run to a place like this just for 'ingredients'."

Dan Heng's expression remained solemn. "The Star Core Hunters' only goal has always been star cores, but the existence of star cores has never been marked on the star map of Liuguang Island."

"There's no aura of a star core here either."

"But didn't Pam say it? This is a planet blessed by the Star God."

"Then...who is that star god?" said March Seven.

Lin Yu was stunned. He had indeed never seen any record of the star god of Liuguang Island on any star map. Unlike other planets, he could always find legends about star gods.

But since Pam said that, it can't be groundless.

"Don't guess. There is indeed a star core here, but it's not here."

It's a blade.

He had finished processing the rhinoceros without knowing when. The bloodstains on his robe had been cleaned. He was holding a heavy cloth bag in his hand, and the outline of the meat could be vaguely seen inside.

It is obvious that the rhinoceros was turned into "ingredients".

This time he actually spoke such a long string of words, which surprised everyone.

"How do you know?" Dan Heng stared at Ren, trying to find some clues from his calm face.

Ren glanced across the center of the square. "The star core imbues the creatures here with intelligence and special abilities." His voice was even, as if stating an established fact. "Rabbits can sense emotions, and foxes can attract starlight. They're all due to the aftereffects of the star core."

He paused, his finger pointing in a vague direction deep in the forest.

"In the near future, in that city, the answer will be there."

"Did Elio see it?" Dan Heng asked.

The actions of the Star Core Hunters have always been guided by Elio's prophecies. The appearance of Blade here must be related to the so-called "future".

This time, Ren didn't reply. He threw the meat bag over his shoulder, turned around, and walked deeper into the forest.

The figure quickly merged into the shadows of the trees, leaving only a gradually blurred back, as if it had never appeared.

Lin Yu looked at the direction he disappeared in. "The 'city' he mentioned should be Tianxing City, right?"

"It's very likely." Dan Heng nodded, his brows still furrowed. "The star core isn't on Liuguang Island, but it can affect the creatures here... This shows that its power is extremely strong, even able to be transmitted across space."

"And the trainers in Tianxing City might be using star cores to capture Pokémon for battle."

San Yue Qi suddenly clapped his hands. "So, as long as we go to Tianxing City, we can find clues to the star core? And that mysterious star god?"

"But he also said 'in the near future', which means that if we go now, we might find nothing, or even trigger unknown dangers."

The older sister came over at some point, her face still pale. "Tianxing City... the mayor said the trainers there are very xenophobic, especially towards those of us who treat Pokémon 'equally'."

"They think Pokémon is just a tool, and they and us are like two parallel lines that can never come together."

Lin Yu couldn't suppress the heaviness in his heart.

Star core, Tianxing City, trainer, star god... these clues are like scattered puzzle pieces. The outlines can be vaguely seen, but the most crucial piece is always missing.

"We have to go and see it anyway."

"Ren wouldn't say this for no reason. Elio's predictions have never been wrong. Instead of guessing here, why not go to Tianxing City and find out for yourself?"
