c317 Sudden earthquake and news

Elf Botanical Research Institute.

“Did you feel the shaking on the ground?”

Chen Xizhou originally thought it was his illusion, but then he saw the liquid in the reagent bottles on the experimental table shaking slightly, and the test tubes on the test tube rack made a crisp sound after they collided.

“It’s an earthquake!” Principal Lan said calmly.

Rongcheng is located in the northern section of the Changle-Zhao’an fault zone and borders the Mingzhu Strait subsidence zone to the east. It is one of the more seismically active areas in Fujian Province. Felt earthquakes occur from time to time and is often affected by strong earthquakes in Mingzhu Province.

Principal Lan, who has worked in Rongcheng for decades, has long been accustomed to such earthquakes, so he is not panicked.

But in the eyes of others, this is not the case.

Jiang Qiuming shivered on the spot, then reacted quickly, grabbed his teacher, Principal Lan, and elementary school girl Ye Xuezhu with both hands and ran to the first floor outside the laboratory.

As he ran, he shouted: “There’s an earthquake!”

At this time, the rapid barking of the Kati dog came from outside the institute.

In just a few seconds, the fried-haired dog rushed upstairs to look for Chen Xizhou. After confirming that the trainer was fine, it opened its eyes and barked at the Slow King.

A trace of surprise finally appeared on the calm face of King Dadai.

It moved to the window in an instant. After opening the window of the laboratory, it used its superpower to pick up Chen Xizhou and went down directly from the window to the outside of the institute.

Katy the dog followed closely behind, and the height of the second floor was a breeze for it.

Seeing this scene, the researchers who were looking at each other all reacted, and then went downstairs to escape without looking back.

As the researchers ran out of the research institute, a more violent vibration occurred.

Although it had little impact on the Elf Plant Research Institute, Dr. Gui still had a frightening feeling that it would be terrible if this newly built research institute was destroyed.

Fortunately, this unexpected earthquake did not last long. It came suddenly and went quietly.

About a minute after everyone ran outside the institute, the shaking finally stopped, and the originally restless Kati dog also returned to calm.

“Is everyone safe?” Chen Xizhou asked, looking around.

Dr. Gui has calmed down now. The engineering quality of the institute is very good, not even a piece of glass has fallen off, which makes him feel relieved.

Chen Xizhou made a phone call on the spot: “Secretary You, did you feel the earthquake just now?… Collect relevant information and ask if this earthquake has caused any impact or loss to the special zone.”

At this time, most people also calmed down.

Especially for an experienced person like Principal Lan, he knows very well that several earthquakes, large and small, occur in this area every year. However, because there are not many earthquakes that can be felt, most people will not notice it unless they pay special attention. arrive.

Principal Lan joked to Dr. Gui: “Brother Bai Sui, have you experienced the unique customs of this area?”

Dr. Gui showed a wry smile and replied: “If this happens a few more times, my old waist will have to be loosened! It’s really embarrassing for me.”

In fact, Dr. Gui is only five years older than Principal Lan.

After making the call, Chen Xizhou looked at King Dadai and asked, “Dadai, do you know what’s going on?”

Chen Xizhou couldn’t understand everyone’s reaction. Either there had been no earthquake like this before, or there had been an earthquake caused by Regirock recently, but the reactions of Cady Dog and Slowpoke had never been as anxious as they were today.

Regarding Kati Dog’s previous barking, King Dadai translated to Chen Xizhou: “This earthquake was caused by elves.”

King Dude’s words attracted everyone’s attention.

Principal Lan just emphasized repeatedly that Fujian Province is in a seismic zone prone to earthquakes, and one or two felt earthquakes is nothing. Unexpectedly, this statement was immediately overturned by the elf.

It was the district chief’s two elves who overthrew him.

Of course, Principal Lan was trying to appease everyone, but he couldn’t tell exactly how.

“Could it be Reggie Rock?”

Chen Xizhou immediately said goodbye to everyone in the institute and prepared to go to the renamed mineral deposit rock area to verify it.

When serious, the speed of the Silver Beast is over 100 kilometers per hour. Although its endurance is not as good as that of a car, its explosive power and ability to adapt to the road far exceed that of the best off-road vehicles.

Even running in the mountains and forests is a piece of cake.

Despite this, Chen Xizhou still let the silver companion beast travel quickly on the Elf Road.

Chen Xizhou did not go directly to the mineral rock area, but returned to the entrance of the Alliance Building to change to a car. This was also a helpless move. Although the Silver Companion Beast was convenient, the strong relative wind was not something he could bear.

Nearly an hour later, Chen Xizhou finally arrived at the mineral deposit rock area.

What surprised Chen Xizhou was that neither the paleontologists nor the wild elves in the ore rock field were as panicked as expected.

“Isn’t the earthquake caused by Reggie Locke?” Chen Xizhou thought to himself.

Seeing Chen Xizhou rushing over in a hurry, Dr. Luo was a little surprised and greeted him. He asked: “District Chief, is it because of the earthquake?”

“Do you know what’s going on?” Chen Xizhou asked.

“I don’t know.” Dr. Luo shook his head and said, “Maybe Reggie Locke will know, but I feel that the source of the earthquake is not here, so it is most likely not caused by Reggie Locke.”

As a senior paleontologist, studying fossils is Dr. Luo Qunshan’s hobby and job. Having been exposed to this field for many years, he naturally has a lot of geological knowledge and skills, and has his own unique insights into the judgment of earthquake sources.

Chen Xizhou knew what Dr. Luo was capable of, but he didn’t answer anything. He had to wait until he saw Regilock to find out.

…

Underground world.

Regilock was standing by the rock altar at this moment, with the orange dots on his body flashing constantly, as if he was thinking about something.

As Dr. Luo guessed, this earthquake was indeed not caused by Regilock.

However, the Pokémon that could cause a comprehensive earthquake on Langqi Island covering 3,000+ square kilometers must be at least a legendary Pokémon like Regilock.

As for which Pokémon it was, Chen Xizhou felt that Regilock knew it.

Is the unknown Pokémon an enemy or a friend?

Why did the unknown Pokémon cause an earthquake?

…

Chen Xizhou didn’t know what this earthquake meant.

He looked at Regilock thoughtfully, but didn’t disturb him easily. Instead, he teased the young Kiras on the side while waiting for Regilock’s reply.

After a long time, Regilock slowly walked down the rock altar and came to Chen Xizhou. A dull but unclear voice sounded:

“The Treasure of Disaster… has not yet fully awakened… Comrades… Suppress… the other three places…”

For some reason, Regilock’s expression this time was not as clear as before, but Chen Xizhou still caught a few key words from his words.

This earthquake should be caused by the Treasure of Disaster, but the other party has not yet fully awakened. In addition to Regilock, there are three other legendary elves on Langqi Island who suppress the Treasure of Disaster.

Chen Xizhou understood the content he sorted out while waiting for Regilock to say something else.

However, Regilock was obviously not in a good mood. He didn’t want to say more. He returned to the rock altar and turned off the orange light in the original place. Like a cold rock, he just sank on the altar.

Chen Xizhou opened his mouth, but didn’t say much.

He was not an ungrateful person. Since Regilock didn’t want to say more, he naturally wouldn’t force him.

However, we can guess something about this kind of thing just by guessing.

First, what Regirock is unwilling to mention.

Chen Xizhou guessed that it was most likely related to Regirock himself, that is, Regirock’s previous injury was probably caused by the Treasure of Disaster.

Secondly, there are three other legendary elves that suppress the Treasure of Disaster.

Currently, the known legendary elves on Langqi Island include the Fire Steel Beast Sidolann of the Newborn Volcano, the Legendary King of the Crown of the Buds, and the Ice and Snow Horse Snowstorm Horse, all of which are real.

As for the Sea God Lugia in the Sea God’s Tomb, that is still unknown for the time being.

As for whether there are more legendary elves on Langqi Island, this is an unknown that cannot be judged.

On the way back to the city, Chen Xizhou chose to cross the Nanyan wilderness.

In this uninhabited Nanyan wilderness, the autumn scenery is refreshing.

Chen Xizhou rode the Silver Companion War Beast and strolled in this vast autumn wilderness. Everywhere he saw was a golden ocean, and the tall and short grasses were swaying in the autumn wind.

King Dai Dai followed beside him, listening to Chen Xizhou’s random guesses about the news given by Regilock, while Caterpie was running in the wilderness, its creamy yellow mane fluttering gracefully, with a playful look on its face.

The scenery was pleasant, but Chen Xizhou felt heavy…
