Chapter 323 Eating Mud
Along the way, the blacksmith smashed walls when he encountered them, kicked away Pokémon that blocked his path, and his domineering blacksmith finally stopped when he came to a dead end.
At this moment, Xia Mu finally had time to ask the skilled blacksmith the reason for his excitement.
The skilled blacksmith naturally wouldn't hide anything from Xia Mu. Pointing to the thick wall in front of him with one hand, he slapped his hammer with the other.
"Clang clang!"
As the skilled blacksmith explained, Xia Mu looked at the thick mud wall in front of him and nodded in understanding.
"I do remember there were several sealing stakes near Beigu Town —"
Perhaps because the blacksmith's hammer has been integrated with the Fighting-type sealing dummy, the blacksmith can now vaguely sense the location of the sealing dummy if she is close enough.
According to the skilled blacksmith, behind this thick layer of soil, there was a combat-type sealing post that corresponded to her great hammer.
"Saltstone Giant, use Dig!"
"asthma!"
Considering that the clay giant's enormous body would not be able to move freely in the small cave in front of him, Xia Mu sent the salt stone giant as laborers to dig the cave.
And the Rock-type Pokémon, Giant Salt, did not disappoint Xia Mu. In just a moment, Giant Salt dug a wide path through the cave in front of him, allowing Xia Mu to walk upright.
Watching the Salt Stone Giant dig a hole while casually stuffing mud into his mouth to eat, Xia Mu felt utterly disgusted.
"No way, did you eat mud while you were digging the hole?!"
"Look?!"
The Salt Stone Giant was also puzzled.
Isn't it common sense to eat a couple of mouthfuls of mud to moisten your mouth while digging a hole?!
For most Ground and Rock-type Pokémon, mud can be eaten as a side dish, even if it can't be eaten as a main food.
Just like the famous desert tyrant Tyrant Tyrannosaurus, they dig deep underground whenever they are ready to lay eggs. After the young Tyrannosaurus hatches underground, it eats mud all the way to the surface. After eating about a mountain of soil, it pupates on the surface and becomes a Sand Tyrannosaurus.
This is why Larvitar is such a rare Pokémon. Most Larvitar dig in the mud underground to eat, and encountering one is very difficult for humans who don't know how to dig.
Onix, which is always digging tunnels underground, is a prime example. It eats mud and various hard rocks, making its body harder while also creating habitats for many Pokémon that live deep underground.
In short, eating mud is a very normal thing for Ground and Rock-type Pokémon, especially when they are digging. They use Ground-type energy to stabilize the tunnel and prevent it from collapsing, while stuffing the seemingly nutrient-rich soil into their mouths.
Their behavior is basically the same as a worker on a spicy snack factory assembly line picking up a spicy snack and putting it in their mouth while working.
Seeing the strange expression on the Salt Rock Giant's face, as if to say, "This trainer has no common sense," Xia Mu silently noted down the important fact that the Salt Rock Giant could eat mud in his training notes.
Yes, although the Salt Rock Giant's salty face made it impossible for it to show various expressions like other Pokémon, Xia Mu still saw the mockery in the Salt Rock Giant's dead fish eyes.
"You little brat, just wait and see, you'll be eating mud for the rest of your life!"
"Look?!"
In short, during the excavation of the Salt Stone Giant, Ziyu and the others finally caught up with Xia Mu and Xiaoyao by following the tracks of the giant hammer.
"Are you alright?"
"Why did the master blacksmith suddenly go berserk?!"
"Hoo hoo~ Is it some kind of powerful Pokémon?!"
As Nemo and her two companions hurriedly caught up, Haruka, who had just been watching the Salt Stone Giant frantically explain something to Natsuki, also withdrew her gaze from the spectacle.
"We're fine; it's just that the skilled blacksmith suddenly sensed the location of the sealing stake!"
Hearing this, Haruka and Shiyori breathed a sigh of relief, but Daigo's eyes widened.
"Seal? What seal?!"
Upon hearing the word "sealed," Steven immediately thought of the three legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region: Giant, Regirock (Rock-type), Regice (Ice-type), and Registeel (Steel-type), all of whom were Pokémon that were sealed away in the past.
Ancient people feared the power of these Pokémon, so they sealed them away. Then, modern people accidentally released the sealed Legendary Regiments during archaeological excavations, causing great chaos in the region.
Although this kind of Pokémon is very rare, there are quite a few records in the Hoenn region about the appearance of the three legendary Pokémon causing disasters.
Therefore, Daigo immediately reacted upon hearing the word "sealing".
"Natsuki, you can't just remove the seal like that!"
Steven was terrified that Natsuki might accidentally unleash a terrifying Pokémon like Kyogre or Groudon, which could destroy the entire Paradis region.
Fortunately, Natsuki has three women by his side: Haruka, Shiyu, and Nemo, who are considered reliable by Daigo's standards.
They spoke one after another, and after they told Daigo about the alliance mission of "Natsuki Saves the Four Disasters," Daigo finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good!"
Clutching his heart, which had nearly leaped out of his throat, Daigo breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look at Haruka and the others with reverence.
He had only spent two short days with Natsuki, and his heart nearly jumped out of his chest countless times, while Haruka and Murasaki had followed Natsuki all the way from the Unova region to the Padilla region without contracting any heart problems.
Daigo thought Haruka and Shiyori were amazing and gave them a thumbs up.
???
Haruka and Shiyu looked at Daigo, who suddenly had a "you guys are awesome" expression on his face, and after exchanging glances, tilted their heads in confusion.
In short, urged on by the skilled blacksmith and with the efforts of the Salt Stone Giant, Xia Mu and the others finally dug through the tunnel in front of them.
As specks of light shone through the wall, the skilled blacksmith eagerly swung his hammer.
boom!
What appeared before Xia Mu and the others was a lush, green meadow.
"here it is?"
"The scenery is so beautiful!"
Xia Mu and the others, who had dug a hole directly in the mountainside, walked on the grass, looking at the tiny village in the distance with excited expressions.
"Hey, we're here!"
"It's the village at the entrance to the Baking Hole!"
However, compared to Xiaoyao and the others who were excited because "the initial narrowness led to enlightenment and sudden understanding," the skilled blacksmith was truly excited at this moment.
While directing the Salt Stone Giant to begin digging in the nearby grassland, she excitedly rushed to Xia Mu's side and grabbed his spatial backpack.
Scoop, scoop, scoop.
The skilled blacksmith tiptoed around in Xia Mu's spatial backpack.
Until a moment later.
"boom!"
A huge piece of alloy was taken out of the blacksmith's backpack and placed on the ground.
