Arceus’ Pirate Journey - Chapter 1480

Chapter 1459 3: Netero

Chapter 1459 3: Netero
A big question mark with a dot below appeared in Yamato’s palm. As Yamato called, an eye opened on the dot below. This was one of Yamato’s accompanying Pokémon – Unknown Totem.

As the symbolic Pokémon of the psychic type, Unknown Totem was once believed to be the origin of writing. Unlike other Pokémon with similar appearances, Unknown Totem has 28 forms, including 26 Latin letters, as well as question marks and exclamation marks.

It is said that when the number of unknown totems exceeds 1, a very strange connection will be formed among them.

Although all psychic Pokémon belong to the psychic category, their super powers are different. Dreamcatcher and Hypnotist are good at hypnosis and dream eating, Metagross is good at calculation and magnetic field, and the psychic talent of Unknown Totem is reflected in words.

The unknown totem blinked its eyes and looked like it yawned, then it floated onto the book that Xiaosong was holding, and its body was as flat as the words and stuck directly to it.

“Ms. Yamato, this is…”

“My translator, don’t worry, it will be able to translate the result quickly if the text recorded in the book is real.”

Yamato is not sure whether the language of the world he is heading to can be mutually intelligible, so he brings an unknown totem with him. Even if it is pictorial hieroglyphics, the unknown totem has the ability to translate it, and through the spiritual connection with Rotom, it forms a complete translation agency.

But the premise is that this thing is really a written record of a certain civilization.

Soon, the unknown totem that was integrated into the book started flying again. The mainstream language here did not change, so there was no need for Rotom to intervene for simultaneous translation.

“It really is text, and it’s a cookbook. The contents seem to record the methods of cooking the various creatures in this palace. In the eyes of the person who wrote the book, this palace is a food storage,
and the murals on the wall also express the same meaning, which means that the strange creatures we saw before are all edible.”

Yamato’s face looked a little ugly. Whether it tastes good or not is one thing, but sometimes, when people know the true appearance of the food, they will no longer want to eat it.

“Ms. Yamato, your habits seem to be very similar to Mr. Sunny’s. He also likes fancy ingredients.”

“No, I don’t ask for it to be gorgeous, but at least it shouldn’t make me feel sick. Okay, the contents of the recipe have been translated. Do you want to take a look?”

“Um. Can you give me the original manuscript of that book? I feel like there’s something different in it.”

“Of course, I’m not a chef, I’ll give it to you if you like.”

Komatsu couldn’t explain why, but he felt that this book was very magical, and he seemed to understand the meaning of the mural next to it. At this time, Yamato sensed a strange aura.

“Don’t move!”

Yamato grabbed Komatsu and lifted him up, while his other hand reached behind him.

“hiss!”

A creature that looked like a lizard, with a dry body but a bird’s beak, made a sharp cry. Its open mouth was filled with rows of sharp teeth, but it was completely isolated from the outside by Yamato’s outward domineering aura and could not get out of the line no matter what.

Haki is originally a colorless thing, and the black color is more for the purpose of easy distinction. Over time, it has become a consensus. However, the external armed color still does not have this expression.

“Ah!!! What is this thing!”

“Okay, stop making a fuss. That Alu is a very strong man, right? You always follow him around, so you should at least be a little courageous and not shout when you see something new.”

The creatures in the pyramid did not cause any trouble to Yamato along the way, but no matter what it was, it made Komatsu scream, saying that he was too timid. This was Yamato’s evaluation of Komatsu.

As he spoke, Yamato waved his hand and sent the unknown creature flying.

“Besides, I’ve already beaten so many strange creatures away. Can’t you have a little confidence in me? Besides, that Zebra cares about you very much.”

“Mr. Zebra cares about me?”

“Yes, it’s normal that you can’t feel it. You have a layer of sonic armor on the outside of your body. Although I don’t know how strong the attack it can withstand, it should be quite strong.”

Yamato’s arms suddenly sped up, reaching the level that triggered the sonic armor, and then knocked out two muffled thuds near Komatsu’s head.

“Okay, I don’t know what’s going on between you. You can talk about it slowly later, but this thing has a very strong vitality.”

The creature that was thrown away by Yamato before climbed up again, and seemed to have no idea what fear was, and continued to attack Yamato and Komatsu.

This dried-up creature had been dormant in a coffin inside the food pyramid, but Yamato’s previous noise was too loud, causing some water to seep into the coffin, thus reviving the creature.

Its species is Netero, a creature that existed a long time ago.

Their cooking intelligence, overwhelming appetite, and obsession with delicious food far exceed those of humans, and humans are just a kind of food in their eyes.

They have extremely tenacious vitality and can sleep for thousands of years in a non-metabolic dormant state of “dry sleep” to survive times of food shortages and harsh environments. The water that seeped into the coffin awakened them.

The first thing this Netero did when he woke up was to hunt. He needed a lot of energy to repair his body, so the two who were studying books naturally became his first choice.

Netero doesn’t know what fear is. He dares to attack any creature no matter how powerful it is.

“At least among the weird creatures here, you are the more pleasing one to the eye. But when it comes to choosing prey, you have picked the wrong target.”

Yamato threw Komatsu behind him, and Netero had already reacted. At this time, it had turned into a white afterimage, trying to bypass Yamato and pounce on Komatsu.

It was not afraid, but wanted to prioritize attacking targets that were easier to deal with to gain energy. Obviously, Komatsu, a human who looked weak, was easier to hunt.

“Hiss!”

“Stop looking down on me!”

Bang!
Seeing that this Netero wanted to ignore her, Yamato’s fist emitted bursts of cold air. The surrounding hot air gradually cooled down under the influence of her cold air. Before this Netero could react, Yamato punched it on the top of the head.

Several cracks appeared on the ancient rock again, and icicles spread above it. Netero’s head was hammered into the ground, and even his body was completely frozen.

“Xiaosong, I have good news and bad news.”

However, after doing all this, Yamato took out his mace from his backpack, with no intention of ending the battle, and gave Komatsu two options.

Hearing Yamato say this, Xiaosong had a bad feeling in his heart. According to common sense, if someone said such a thing, it would definitely not be a good thing.

“For example?”

“The good news is that the creature has been dealt with. The bad news is that there seems to be more than one here.”

The cold air released by Yamato filled the room, and because of the environment here, a lot of water droplets condensed. The surrounding coffins were covered in this range, and many water droplets flowed into the coffins through the gaps.

The stone coffin creaked and shook, and the heavy stone slabs were pushed open one after another, and one after another, the dried-up Neteros crawled out of it. (
