Chapter 1384 Secret Seasoning
"The Rock Wall Master is on the opposite rock wall, which is also the nest of the Hairy Cliff Crab. The Rock Wall Master is extremely large; you'll see it when you go there!" The voice of the Fiery Arrow Eagle rang out.
"Alright! Noivern, let's go." Xia Yu nodded, then patted the Noivern beneath him, signaling it to set off immediately.
"Roar!"
The Sonic Dragon let out a loud roar, flapped its wings, and accelerated towards the steep rock wall on the other side!
…………
The cliff on the other side is like a precipice cleaved by a giant axe, so steep that it is almost perpendicular to the ground.
The rocks are brownish-yellow, covered with traces of drying, and jagged, grotesque stones jut out like withered bones.
On this awe-inspiring rock face, countless hairy crabs covered the entire cliff face, so many that it was terrifying.
They stood close together, with very small gaps between them, almost covering the entire rock face. Their thick, yellow shells were almost integrated with the rock face. Almost all the hairy cliff crabs used the sharp hooks at the ends of their segments to firmly grip the tiny protrusions on the rock, hanging upside down in a way that defied common sense, just like bats.
Their robust chelipeds opened and closed slightly, and the fine downy hairs were faintly visible in the dim light.
These hairy cliff crabs seem to follow an almost strict hierarchy. Those hanging upside down at the bottom of the rock wall are newly born or weak and lacking strength. The higher up the hairy cliff crabs go, the stronger they are!
From Common, Rare to Elite, then to Lord, Overlord, Master, and at the very top, King, Champion, and even... Master!
Xia Yu's gaze slowly moved upwards, past the dense swarms of hairy crabs, and finally landed on the mountaintop of the rock wall!

…………
At the summit of the cliff, a gigantic hairy crab covered in a thick rocky shell hangs upside down, its pupils gleaming with a silvery-gray light, staring intently at Xia Yu!
It was enveloped in a dazzling beam of crystal light, clearly indicating that this was an extremely rare special crystal-formed Pokémon, and its crystal type was also steel!
A tough opponent, but fortunately this guy only has master-level strength and master-level aptitude.
This made Xia Yu frown slightly. It seemed that this hairy cliff crab was not too strong. Was his previous analysis of the system all wrong?
A flurry of analysis, seemingly incisive, turned out to be nothing but flawed theories.
But that shouldn't be the case. If the Rock Wall Pokémon's strength is only this much, Talonflame shouldn't have said that the Pokémon's leader Pokémon is invincible!
Xia Yu took a deep breath, then slowly moved his gaze downwards. Below this special crystallized hairy cliff crab was another hairy cliff crab with master-level strength!
This second master-level hairy crab is slightly smaller than the hairy crab on the mountaintop, but its color is a very rare deep blue, as clear as seawater, making it particularly eye-catching on the entire rock wall!
The second Master-level Hairy Crab... or is it a shimmering one?
This might be tricky for others, but for Xia Yu, it makes no difference at all.
He doesn't have many other things, but he has a lot of Master-level Pokémon. Having an extra Master-level Crabgrass wouldn't make any difference to Xia Yu.
"Master..." The voice of the Soundwave Dragon suddenly rang in Xia Yu's mind!
"Hmm, what's wrong, Noisy Dragon?!" Xia Yu asked.
"Look at the top of the rock face!"
Xia Yu's gaze shifted to the top of the rock wall, where two hemispherical protruding stone pillars stood out conspicuously on the mountaintop.
These two strange stone pillars don't look like they were formed naturally at all; they seem more like they were man-made.
“I see two stone pillars,” Xia Yu said in a deep voice.
"No, it's not a stone pillar, but a special plant in the middle of the stone pillars." The voice of the Soundwave Dragon rang out, its gaze fixed on the space between the two stone pillars.
Xia Yu frowned and looked into the stone pillar. He could vaguely see a pink light shimmering faintly in the sunlight, but he couldn't make out what kind of plant it was because it was too far away.
"What kind of plant is that?" Xia Yu could only ask aloud.
"I don't know." Noivern shook its head, but its eyes gleamed with a dazzling light: "I've never seen that thing before, but that plant contains extremely concentrated energy, which can help any Pokémon!"
Plants...contain extremely rich energy...and the treasure trove of the rock walls...
Xia Yu connected all the clues, and a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.
Secret ingredient: Sweetener!
In the game, the protagonist challenges the Pokémon Master in order to collect five different secret seasonings: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and spicy.
After collecting these secret seasonings, make them into sandwiches. So, if either Milton or Milton eats a sandwich, they will regain a corresponding ability!
The secret recipe corresponding to the cliff crab, the treasure master of the rock wall, is a sweet seasoning, which is actually a pink plant!
Everything seems to have fallen into a closed loop!
"Let's go over and take a look!" Xia Yu's voice rang out.
"Wait, Master, someone is trying to attack the Hairy Crab! They also want to steal that plant!" The Soundwave Dragon's voice suddenly rang in Xia Yu's mind: "Look at the lower right!"
Following the direction Noivern indicated, Xia Yu saw several shadowy figures approaching the cliff face, seemingly preparing to ride Flying-type Pokémon upwards.
However, the group seemed to have also noticed the sonic dragon hovering in the sky and recognized Xia Yu. For a moment, they hesitated and stood still, not daring to make any rash moves.
…………
"Xia Yu... what is he doing here?!" On the ground, William, the champion of the Windmill Kingdom, stared at the Noisy Dragon circling in the sky with a gloomy expression: "If he even wants to steal the Hairy Crab, then he is being unreasonable!"
Standing beside William was none other than his old partners, Remy, the champion of the Flower Kingdom, and Wilson, the champion of the Southern Cross. The three of them had formed an alliance before entering the secret realm, and they had always acted together in the Padia Secret Realm.
While the three champions may not be considered top-tier individually, their combined strength is enough to deter most champions from challenging them.
Even when facing the American champion Elijah, they were confident of a fight, but looking at Xia Yu appearing in the sky, the three of them felt powerless and wanted to give up.
"What are your opinions?" Seeing the other two remain silent, William Champion turned to them and said, "We've wasted so much time on this Shiny Hairy Crab, are we just going to give up like this?"
